"No, no, I'm glad you're okay. I'm surprised."

"haha, shame on you"

The first magic activated, Eugene, who was falling in a row, woke up in the voice of pedestrian Kevin.

It has been the first visit in roughly two and a half months since my visit in the spring.

Kevin, a pedestrian who calms his breath and wipes his sweat. I'm also bringing a pair of adventurers for you this time. By way of example, they seem to be getting ready for camp a little further away.

Is he going to stay long this time, or was he just putting up a sunset turf between the trees?

"We've prepared a lot for you this time, so you can stay four or five days. But let me give you what I brought."

I guess I followed Eugene's gaze. Kevin slowly tells him how many days he's staying, and he just lowers his back and unloads.

"Really! I had a lot to ask, so it helps. But first I want to ask about Alice's family..."

"You're Alice's family. Yeah, it looks like Alice isn't here either, and maybe she's just fine. So far, nothing on the family has come in yet. But..."

"... is something wrong?

A rough Eugene asks Kevin, who gave him a dark look.

"A caravan headed for the Wang capital was attacked by bandits, and the escort adventurer responded and defeated them. You gathered information at the merchant's tste. The caravan seemed to have a convenient schedule, and he said the third-degree adventurer happened to be on the escort, a party of five, beating around 30 bandits? Later research shows that they were bandits known as mud rats. It is also believed that it would be mud rats who attacked the village of Amphore..."

"Is that why you're all mud rats? Where's Ajito? Didn't you interrogate him?

Ask Eugene out of breath for information that could lead to Alice's family.

"Mr. Eugene, I know how you feel, but it's normal for a merchant squad atted by a bandit to rush ahead with a todome even if the bandit has survival. Because the places attacked smell of blood and gather beasts and demons, and large bandits and others may re-raid. They also rushed to the King's Capital without interrogation and reported it to the Guard, apparently over."

"Really...... But then you don't check around? Survival, Azito... it's dangerous, isn't it?

While showing dismay, Eugene does not give up and repeats the question.

"Of course it is. He said a group left the Wang Capital guard and checked where and around the raid had occurred. They found a cave that looked like it was Ajito, but said it was already a mushroom shell..."

"Really..."

"What they call mud rats are running around like rats, scrubbing mud to survive. Looks like it's from such a bump. This time it will be cool damage for them, and for a while we will invest in making them grow up and make them go away. Looking for Alice's family may have gotten harder..."

Although there was new information, it was something that made it extra difficult to find. A nagging, dark look, Eugene.

Kevin watches Eugene slowly recover without hurrying.

While watching, he moved his hands, spread the floor number, sat down, and began to unload further. Though gentle, he is a strong man. It's normal for a pedestrian on the border.

"Okay. It's not a decision yet, is it? Actually, you could have run away from the beginning! Please continue!

Get the momentum to say it out to yourself, Eugene, and end that topic. Seems a little tough.

"Yes, of course, Mr. Eugene. Well, shall I give you the package?"

While understanding Eugene's feelings, he was Kevin to move on.

"First, this is food, isn't it? I also brought wheat, barley, vegetables and salt. Then, the clothes in this bag, this is the daily necessity, right? I didn't know what I needed, so I'm bringing a little bit of everyday stuff for now. As far as Eugene and Alice are concerned, you may not need clothes..."

Kevin glances at the clothes that Chirali and Eugene wear and the laundry that dries in the garden and gleams in the wind.

Thank you, Eugene, who received her luggage across the gate and then loaded the bags one after the other, seemed unaware of the sight.

"And then this is the weapon and protective equipment you requested. They haven't decided what to use yet, so the weapons have brought a lot of quality stuff there. I didn't even know the size of the protective equipment, so I brought something that seemed to work for me first."

That's what Kevin handed Eugene, numerous weapons and protective equipment. Small swords, short spears, small shaking mace, bows and arrows, round woods and skins, breastplate of skin, trousers reinforced by the skin by the way, thick robes that look sturdy are small and seem to be for Alice.

Then, you can use this besides a weapon, but Kevin gives you an axe and a hammer to say.

It is a cool piece of luggage to go with food. The luggage of the backpack was also slight, with the remainder.

"And this is also what you requested. I meant a book that shows common sense and the situation in this world, so first I need a map of the neighborhood. Even so, it's a huge mess to get, so I use my traveling experience to write and add. Then a popular travel journal in Wangdu and a journal purchased in an outdoor store, right? The information may be a little out of date, but I think you know what life is like."

"Yay! No, the map, too, but I was wondering about the people's lives over here. But do you get a diary? It just says embarrassing things..."

Reminds me of my middle school memories, shivering Eugene. Looks like I got a sealed black diary in my head. To the habit of not caring that they saw the mysterious chant, the diary seems to be no good. I don't know the criteria.

"The diary is generally sold together when the person who wrote it dies and the family disposes of the property. And then is learning a person in trouble with the life of something, is it? The city of Plumier is not as numerous as it is on the border, but you can get it for as long as you get to the King's Capital. Few people can read the most, so it's cheaper to buy it over here than Wang Du."

Oh, is that right... Eugene turning the diary with paralysis. Although of poor quality, the paper seems to be made of plants. So finally Eugene realizes.

"Mr. Kevin...... I can't read......"

Yes, Alice had taught me simple letters and numbers, but Eugene was still unable to read the letters of this world.

"Haha, I thought you said that, and I bought this too. Because, by the way, this one is more expensive than this one combined with everything else I gave you last time. Be careful."

With those words, Kevin offers a thick book of beautiful fittings. It was, however, clearly different in character from the other books from the cover.

"It's a dictionary. Did you know? For one word, that is what its meaning is explained. There's no painting in it, so it's still a simple version. And this book, please. This is a book used by merchants to study naiveté. It's hard to get in the city of Plumier, and I'm ashamed of what I used when I was a kid..."

That being said, what was further offered was a book in which pictures and words correspond. Going into the second half, the text seems to come out as well.

"Oh! Thank you! Now Alice and I can study."

"Well, I don't think these two books tell much about it...... Because when I'm here, I can help. Then at the end...... This is the magic book for beginners."

The last one offered was a book that, although inferior to the earlier dictionary, was nevertheless well worn.

"Thank you! Yay, now both me and Alice can use more magic!

Receiving a magic book for beginners, Eugene decides on a powerful gut pose.

After the first magic, Eugene shows her second joy today.

Neither me nor Alice noticed Kevin's gaze in response to the word, and Eugene snuggled around to relax.
