That's true, but I don't really have that many marketable skills. Since it doesn't seem like there are any visible monsters type threats to Near Shore residents.

Delivery seems doable. [Especially because he's still a teenager and he was still in high school before all of this happened.]

[ Genos nods ] It does seems like a best choice.

I'll be probably visiting one more district later, if I see any job offer like this, I will forward it to you.

Thank you, Genos!

Actually our last prayer was getting somebody a job. If you know what you're looking for I have a book filled with places that have positions.

I'll probably need some time to figure out what kind of useful skills I might have. [ that are not setting things on fire ]

I guess you haven't had a chance to figure that out, huh?

I know how to fight, but that's hardly something to put on a CV. Cooking also seems to come naturally to me. [ small shrug. what a useful set. ]

In any case, I can always learn a new skill.

Yeah, I can too, but I don't think that many people are looking for fighters.

Oh, maybe a cook? But then again you'd need to talk to a lot of people, and it'd be weird if the backroom workers couldn't see you...

Exactly. Even in a small restaurant it could pose a problem.

There is always a security guard job. Night-shift wouldn't bother me. [ and it doesn't require much interaction with people. Aside those who try to steal something, but he would take care of them. ]

[ They reach the art-shop and there is colorful information on the door saying the shop opens new service soon! If you live in nearest districts you can make online purchase and get your supplies delivered in less than 24 hours. Genos just points at it ] Look, they just might need a delivery boy.

Oh, that's not a bad idea. I'm probably too young to do that one though. [Fifteen is way too young to be a security guard, no matter what skills he might have.]

If they haven't hired for it yet. It doesn't hurt to go in an ask, anyway.

[Especially since he's already right here.]

That you are. I was considering that option for me. [ why all art shops just so... full. Navigating between shelves without knocking something over is such a pain. Especially when there is whole wall full of paints, and you're searching for 3 very specific colors.

The woman behind the counter of course doesn't notice them, and she keeps reading her book waiting for more visible customers ]

[There are always artists that need supplies, it seems.

For the moment Deku'll go up to the shopkeep and attempt to get her attention.

It takes a good few minutes before she even looks up.]

Excuse me, are you hiring for the delivery job?

'Ah, yes of course. I'll give you a form. The schedule is flexible so it won't collide with your school. You need to know how to ride a bicycle, but don't have to own one.' [ she hands Deku a document ] 'You'll need a parent permission too.' [ and with that she's back to her book ]

[ Genos in the meanwhile collects all the things he needs, and joins Deku at the counter ] I presume it went well?

Pretty well.

I don't have parents here to sign this for me.

[Which makes this kind of awkward.]

[ Well that might be a problem. ]

I don't think they're going to check who really signed that part.

[He still looks a bit uncomfortable.

He's the goddess of morality.]

That's... probably true.

It's either a parent - which isn't available right now - or a legal guardian. So, an adult that's somewhat responsible for you.

[ is there someone like that for a god? higher gods? or just any other adult god would work? ]

I'm supposed to be Aidos, and her father is supposedly Prometheus.

I don't know if anybody's his reincarnation. But maybe somebody is related to him?

I'm sure there is Aphrodite around, I've lent her shinki a book about Greek mythology.

You're talking about Axel, right? I'll have to ask him.

Precisely. He's a potential access to a confirmed Greek goddess.

Right.

Did you manage to find everything you needed?

I'm done. I've got everything I needed. [ he nods, and moves closer to the counter, so it's easier to place the supplies there and pester the shopkeeper, for attention ] Excuse me! I'd like to buy these.

[Then Deku will move closer to the door so Genos has more room.]

[ Some pestering later, the art supplies are paid for, packed and he's ready to leave. ]

What a run... Thanks for showing me this place.

No problem, Genos. I'm glad to help a bit.
