"You shall gather wood for fire." Ainaka told them. "Cook meals, look after the mosswine, tend the fields, fill these bottles." He pointed to the multicolored bottles. "Clean the house, and maybe paint it." Each time he listed a task he wrote it down on the paper. "Under Nyalu's supervision." "What?" Nyalu jumped up. "Wait, why am I getting stuck babysitting them?"

"Because he doesn't who we are and would prefer to task someone he does know to make sure the work gets done?" Jonas asks. "That sounds logical wouldn't you say Issoa?"

Issoa nodded his head in agreement with Jonas. "In the short time I've known you I've become homeless." Nyalu countered. "And I think I've done plenty to help you out already." Ainaka put up a hand before an argument could break out. "I am going to take a vacation and travel to old friends. So in exchange for using my home as your own you will need to take care of it. If the fields are unattended they will wither and die, if potions aren't made then the ingredients will go bad, if the mosswine aren't care for they will die. You will have to cook for yourselves and keeping the house clean is just proper." He turned to Nyalu. "Nyalu, you know how all this works, so if you want me to help them I need you to help me. Besides, this will be good for you, working with new companions. You are too young to retire and too old to pretend to be a vagabond. Think of this as your own home and put these two to work as you please." Nyalu sat back down with a sigh. "Fine, I'll do it." "Good." Ainaka said. "I've written all this out in this contract." He put the piece of paper and quill in front of Jonas.

Jonas nodded and signed it. "Gotta say this is a pretty realistic adventure Issoa. No super powered evil lich author power fantasies...I am actually okay with that, that author is a sicko." He passed the paper to Issoa. "So do we uh...when do we start?"

ooc: HAHAHAHA! Oh naive little adventurers, you are far from safe. Issoa signed the paper, then Nyalu and Ainaka signed it. Ainaka folded it and gave it to Nyalu. "I am going to pack right away." He announced. "I haven't been on a vacation for many years." "Come on." Nyalu said. "You two can share Ainyaka's room, it's too big for me, and I'll use the guest room. We can assign chores once you've settled in."

Jonas looks at himself. No luggage at all. "Okay Boss Lady lead the way." Jonas at least felt safe. Surely he was far from danger doing farm work. "Think there is an outhouse?" He asks Issoa.

"Outhouse?" Issoa asked. "Do you really think they don't have indoor toilets?" He wandered out load. They were led to a room about twice the size of the room they came from. Most of the space was taken up by a massive bed that had enough space for six of them. The rest of the room was decorated with rocks of different sizes arranged in what was probably considered soothing. There was even a little waterfall that flowed over some of the rocks into a little pool. The rest of the space was taken up by drawers and a large closet. Ainaka busied himself putting clothes into a large bag while Nyalu gestured to the bed. "You'll sleep here." She told them. "There's a bath outside at the back of the house, there's a door over there that leads to it. My room is further down the hall and the storage room is back where we came from near the kitchen. There's a shed outside as well as a furnace. Do you need some time to settle in?"

"Actually that would be nice... I do have a question. What happens if a Monster or bandits should attack? I don't suppose you have any weapons handy?" Jonas asks as he sits on the bed. "Anything really..." He muses for a second. "Do Monsters attack the farm often? I imagine pi..Mosswine are considered prey animals."

"No weapons, the monsters are friendly here so don't worry." Ainaka told them. "There are some pitchforks and shovels in the shed though." He picked up his large bag, now a third full already, and left the room. "What he means is that monsters rarely come here." Nyalu added. "There are plenty of larger herbivores around for them to eat and a few mosswine is hardly going to make a filling meal for them. If a monster does attack though just keep your heads down and we'll fix whatever they break when they're gone."

Jonas follows Ainaka. "So...thanks for letting us stay. I hope your travels are well..." Jonas looks and sounds like he doesn't know what to do next. They had been looking for shelter and...the monsters...and now farming. It was all too much.

Issoa stayed behind to explore the room. He climbed onto the large bed and lied down, it felt like ages since he had a soft bed to sleep on. "Me too." Ainaka answered as he went from room to room filling his bag with provisions. "I have many friends to visit who doesn't get to go on vacation much either." When all was done Nyalu came to see off Ainaka at the front gate. "Take care of the two young riders old friend." "I'll do my best not to get them eaten at least for a few more days." She said jokingly. Ainaka waved at Jonas. "Stay well." He said as he started walking off, the large bag tied to a piece of lumber that was thrown over one shoulder. "I guess that's that then." Nyalu said as Ainaka got further away. "I'm going to look around. Fetch your friend and meet me outside when you're ready."

Jonas felt very small. Dinosaurs didn't feed him and pay the bills so he may as well just get it over with. He went up to the room to see Issoa. "Yo Issoa. You ready to begin the copious amounts of manual labor?"

Issoa sat up with a jerk, having fallen asleep on the bed. "What!? Oh, yes, we better get started. What are we doing?" He asked climbing off the bed. "Has Ainaka already left?"

"Yeah. I guess its the farmer's life for us. Funny I thought we would be slaying dragons if this was an Isekai...but maybe its for the best if we don't." He adds quickly.

"Cheer up!." Issoa told Jonas. "Didn't Nyalu say we could start riding our monsties in six days? Once we can ride monsties we can learn how to fight with them. Until then let's make ourselves at home since it looks like we'll be here for a while."

"Gotcha! Lets uh.. do our best." Jonas says. He comes outside and looke for Nyalu. "Hey! Nyalu! Where are you?"

Issoa followed after Jonas. "I'm over here!" Nyalu called out to them from the far side of the fields. She was near the shed and was pulling apart a part of the fence that surrounded the property.

"You need help breaking the fence Boss Lady?" Jonas asked. He was ready to get started but unsure where to start.

"You could help by making a gate." Nyalu told them. "We're putting one here so your monsties can get in without having to walk through the fields. There's lots of space here." She pointed to the empty space next to the shed. "You'll be able to build pens for your monsties. And if you decide to raise more monsties you could expand outwards, but you'll have to expand the fence as well. Once you're done with the gate you can start on the stable. A pen with soft bedding and a roof for each of your monsties should do for now, whatever else you decide to add is up to you."

"Great!...Hey Issoa do we have...materials for that?" Jonas asks.

"I don't know." Issoa answered honestly. "There's rope in the shed." Nyalu told them. "You can tie these wooden board I took down into a gate and then tie it to the fence. We can make it more sturdy later. There's some wooden logs next to the house, you can use those to make a frame for the stables. We'll use leather coverings for the roof and sides. There are hammers and nails in the shed too if you need that. Tomorrow we'll go out and chop some more wood and then I'll teach you how to cut them into boards so you can make a proper stable." "Alright, I'll go fetch the rope then." Issoa said running towards the shed. It didn't take him long to return with the rope and a knife.

Jonas started to tie the planks together. "You know this isn't so bad. Most isekai would have us be some superpowerful deities or some stuff. Its kinda comforting that we are still human and have to work and figure things out."

"A lot of isekai also forces the main character to do something they may not like." Issoa replied. "At lease we have some freedom in what we want to do. I'm going to fetch the logs for the stable while you finish the gate." Issoa got up and headed back for the house.

Jonas quietly did so. Once he was done he asked, "What now Boss Lady? Should we maybe mark the dimensions of the stable in advance?"

"Nyow you're thinking!" Nyalu told Jonas. "That's a good idea. Remember that your monsties still aren't fully grown, but they'll only become a little bigger then they are now, so make sure to leave enough room for them."

After a few minutes he had a box made and ready. "What do you think? Is it big enough?" Jonas asks.

"Purrfect!" Nyalu told him. Issoa followed Jonas' example and was halfway done with his own stable. "Put up the leather for protection against the wind and the heat, and fill the stable with hay so the monsties has a soft place to lie down." Nyalu told them. "Then I'll show you something neat that I've seen riders often do."

Jonas does so and looks at Issoa. "How are you doing so far?" He asks him. "Need any help?"

"Thanks, but I'm almost done." Issoa told Jonas. Nyalu returned after wondering off waiting for them to finish their work. "Not bad. I guess you two can build things too and not just destroy them." She said in approval. "I let your monsties out of the front pen." She told them. "Now most of my experience with riders are from observation and I don't know much about the internal rites and stuff you're suppose to do, so this may not work, but since it seems that you're basically riders already I want you to try something. Stretch out your arm with the kinship stone on it into the air and say 'ride on!'"

Jonas cautiously does so. "Uh...Ride On!" Hs says not sure what's its going to do.
