Chapter 216 Graduation equals unemployment: From campus student to NEET!
The Crimson Demon Clan does not have an adult in the conventional sense. They believe that as long as a child masters advanced magic, he is considered a capable adult.
And what should a child do after they become independent? Well, that's obviously... find a job.
But just as the Explosion spell was criticized as a comedic spell, Huihui encountered the harsh setback of only knowing one comedic spell and being unable to find a job after officially receiving her graduation certificate from Red Prison Academy.
"Sorry, we don't need people here who only know how to use funny magic."
"I'm sorry, although I really want to help recent graduates and provide them with a job that they can support themselves, I don't want my family's clothing store to be blown up by your explosive magic one day in the future."
"Fishing doesn't require explosive magic, and if you just want to blast fish, please go somewhere else, thank you!"
……
In the Crimson Demon Village, no one needs a little girl who only knows explosion magic and nothing else to work in their industry, especially a young man who always wants to make a name for himself with his magic.
Why did things turn out this way?
Another day of job hunting failures. Huihui collapsed to her knees in despair on the street.
"Isn't that why Huihui only knows one explosion spell?"
While accompanying her job search, Youyou started complaining. Although she had also learned advanced magic, she became the most popular freelancer among the villagers of Red Demon Village after graduation because she also possessed a large number of practical low- to mid-level magic spells.
Right now, Youyou is helping Huihui look for a job while simultaneously using a combination of wind and fire magic to clear snow from the village streets.
The daily wage isn't very high, but it's enough for Youyou to support herself and even have some left over. Recently, Youyou has been saving money to buy a gift for her boy, as a way of thanking Broly for helping her accumulate so many skill points.
"Hey, isn't this the capable Youyou, and my fellow NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) partner, Huihui? Good afternoon, you two."
Green Coconut Slicer walked towards us and greeted us.
"Ah, it's Mr. Green Kana, the number one shut-in of the Crimson Demon Clan. Where are you headed?"
Youyou greeted the other person politely, while Huihui got up from the ground with a disgruntled look on her face and retorted fiercely at the approaching young man, "Who are you calling a NEET? NEETs are people like you who only want to sponge off their parents. I, Huihui, am just unlucky and can't find a proper job right now!"
"What's the difference? You still have to rely on your family to support you, don't you?"
Green Coconut Shrugged before answering Youyou's question.
"I'm going to the fortune-telling shop to have my fortune told."
"I see, you're going to bother Miss Socate again."
Youyou immediately understood his purpose.
"Hey, what do you mean by 'obsessing'? I just admire her, I've just been too shy to confess to her."
"Then go ahead and sue her, see if she ignores you!"
Huihui was very unhappy that this person said he was a NEET, but she deliberately started a fight.
"I'll confess to her someday, but not now. You should mind your own business, NEET Huihui!"
Green Coconut waved to Youyou and then, with light steps, prepared to go to the fortune-telling shop for a paid date with Miss Soket.
"Damn it, I have to find a job and get rid of this NEET label as soon as possible!"
. . . .
Two more days passed, and Huihui finally locked herself in her room.
She couldn't be found, she was nowhere to be found, nobody in the village wanted her.
"Sister, aren't you coming out for dinner?"
"No, I don't want to go out into that cruel world!"
Having suffered a series of setbacks, Huihui is showing signs of becoming a shut-in.
"Xiaomi, what's wrong with your sister?"
A boy's voice came from outside. It was a voice that Huihui should have been looking forward to hearing, but now it filled her with fear. She didn't want him to see her in this useless state.
"I'm sorry, brother-in-law, Xiaomi doesn't know anything because my sister didn't tell Xiaomi anything."
Xiaomi honestly answered Broly's question.
"Here's what happened: After graduating, Huihui looked for a job in the village, but she couldn't find one. She was even mistaken for a fellow NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) by the village's first stay-at-home dad. She must be feeling quite discouraged now."
Youyou, who had come along, was outside explaining the situation to Broly.
"I'm not upset at all, I just slept in late last night and only just got up now!"
The door was suddenly pulled open, and Huihui, sniffling, stood at the doorway and began to argue.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were upset."
Youyou quickly apologized.
"You don't actually need to work; I can support you."
Broly said.
He is currently working with Wiz on making the production of vitality potions more widespread.
That is, simplifying the complex process of making medicines so that ordinary pharmacists can learn it.
And things are looking promising; at least Wiz can now make some vitality potions, though they might be less effective.
"I don't want to be a NEET."
Huihui said loudly.
"But Broly isn't your parent!"
Youyou reminded her.
"My husband is getting old too!"
"So, Huihui, have you made any progress in finding a job?"
"this……"
Huihui didn't know how to answer. If she was making progress in finding a job, how could she be so disappointed that she didn't want to leave her room?
"To be honest, you can rely on us more. We're friends, and we might even become family in the future."
She gently began to persuade him.
Huihui: "..."
She said it so casually, but she didn't want to do it that way at all. She wasn't that big NEET, Green Coconut, who could comfortably accept sponging off his parents and even using their money to pester Miss Sockett at the fortune-telling shop...
[Hmm, a fortune-telling shop, Soket, fortune-telling?!]
A sudden inspiration struck Huihui, and she immediately perked up: "Ha, who do you think I am, Huihui? Finding a job is nothing to me!"
"Huh?"
Youyou paused for a moment before asking, "So, you have something in mind?"
"I'm going to the fortune-telling shop to have Miss Socat read my fortune."
With my mastery of such powerful magic as Explosion Magic, there's no way I'd be unable to find a job.
The reason I can't find it now is simply because the perfect job for me to shine hasn't been discovered yet!
Huihui said confidently, "Since I don't know what I can do in the future, I'll just go to a fortune-telling shop and ask Miss Sokat to do a fortune-telling for me to see what I can do in the future!"
In a world where true divination abilities exist, skilled diviners may be the most powerful professionals in the job consulting industry.
