Plenty of magical demonstrations at night on Krook and Silver who stayed at Elf Mansion as it was. And in the early morning, I did the special training again, but without seeing any results in particular, Krook's gibberish ended the training.

You want to take a break for a while and do it again in the afternoon? When I heard that, we both said no.

Such a tough struggle to even take an air hammer, it would be a shame if Mr. Lazard hadn't ordered me to do it.

"I guess Mr. Lazard's been working out this much from time to time, huh?

He said he couldn't do it without a healer.

Is that true? Hiring a healer would surely not be cheap either.

"I can't even be there"

You lost your mind when they told you it was over, and Silver, who was hanging in there till the end, sits back and relaxes.

Let me demonstrate the magic at the end.

"What do you say?

"I knew I didn't."

The training period is too short or do these guys have no talent?

Or did it weaken the air hammer too much? If you are as powerful as living or dying, then suddenly magic sensing may open your eyes to the danger of life.

Let the big rocks out in front of the two who are taking a break. Strike in the normally powerful air hammer a little further away.

"Seriously, that's powerful."

Krook sayin 'that happily to the power of an air hammer that sharpens rocks.

Seriously, this is usually the power.

"I think what's missing between us is a sense of crisis. Why don't you do it once and for all with all this power?

"Please, don't. I don't want to hang my life even though I'm hot..."

Krook said so, and Silver also shook his head in silence.

Well, these guys don't die unless they're strong about anything. It's still my first year as an adventurer. There's no reason to rush or be desperate.

"It's time to go home. Masaru, you're busy today, aren't you?

"Sort of. Good luck to both of you."

"Masaru is the one"

I told him about Hiragis sneakingly, but he said he probably wouldn't be at Mr. Lazard's party. Dangerous, long term and little reward. Besides, it's a distant other country. I have no reason to risk my life.

Farewell to these guys for the time being. When will I see you next?

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

Dropping off Krook and Silver, he immediately set off for the Adventurer's Guild with Satti and Syrah for you.

Everyone has gone out after that.

Will is alone in the elf getting a look at a set of gear. I sent it out first thing in the morning because the main thing is to order full plate mails, but now my gear is all cheap and I need to refresh my weapons and protective gear. There's nothing more free than hanging out with people shopping, so I sent them out by myself and entrusted them to the elves over there.

The other members were left to Ellie about Francesca. They're still pending, and they're going to get a response.

"It's like he wants to take some of his own escorts."

Yes, Ellie said in the morning.

It's dangerous because it passes the border, so we discussed it once in the direction of no, but it didn't seem to give up that much.

Well, even if it's dangerous, it's not dangerous at our party, and of course, he's terribly armed. Most importantly, because the speed is overwhelmingly faster than it normally goes, I guess I don't like that Satie starts training first.

But it seems that it is difficult for parents to persuade their daughters before their dowry to go far on their own.

But even that's just two more, and I don't really want to lose my fly's transport power because this time I'm going to be traveling pretty long distances. The addition of escorts is out of the question.

I'd just like to turn down the request itself if possible, but it's also hard to cut it in the front and say no. It's a real pain in the ass.

Looking for the Sergeant Hall about the Adventurer Guild, he was immediately led to a warehouse of commercial guilds a short distance away.

There is a rather large warehouse stacked with crates, bags and barrels.

"Can we go?" And, Sergeant.

That's more of a problem than quantity. I wish they could put it together in a crate as big as possible or something, but even the smaller bags have one. If the size wasn't uniform, I might not be able to hold it.

"In the meantime, shall we put it out of the big box"

The crate was about four different sizes and took a bit of space because half came out. Well, at our convenience, I can't even tell you how to cut it with 100 pieces. Then put in a barrel, a bag.

There were several types of supplies of cereals, and this was the most common. Later, seasonings, including salt. The barrel also contained pickles of vegetables, dried fruit and alcohol.

But for the variety of ingredients, the size of the container was decently uniform and there was less space than I thought. A little over half the item box in all. Well, even half the capacity is 5,000, and I didn't seem to have anything to worry about.

"Why, it's all in there... it's exactly what some people carry..."

The person in the commercial guild present was surprised, but as usual, I'll keep it through.

"I'd like to ask for pots and dishes if I can still hold them."

You will naturally need dishes and pans for all this food.

"If you could put each one together in a box"

It wasn't that many, so I went in sparingly.

"Give me another transport...... no, don't you want to be exclusive to commercial guilds!?

"Lord Trout, I thought you said you'd have trouble getting me to scout," said Sergeant.

"No, excuse me. But it's a shame to keep so much transport as an adventurer."

I'm an adventurer and I use it. I can carry a dragon.

"Unfortunately, because I have a contract with Elf"

"That contract means..."

"It's valid until I die. And the adventurer will continue for the time being, and the king will be calling out to you straight away, so you won't be able to dedicate yourself to the commercial guild after you retire."

"If that means occasionally...?

"Go to the Empire and I won't be back here for the time being"

"That is truly unfortunate. Speak to me when you return to the kingdom. I think there are a lot of things I can do for you."

"I'll remember your name"

This world, transportation is terribly laborious, and sometimes it's a life-saving thing.

If it's about a steam locomotive, what can't you make it? Shall I ask Ellie or someone next time?

"When you get to the fort, look for the Adventurer Guild and hand it over with this inventory. I'll keep in touch."

Roger that, Sergeant.

"The next time I see you is in a few months. Let's finish off with a little audition."

Apparently, the Sergeant's coming to Hiragis, too.

"Is it light?

"Sure. You got any protective gear?

"Yes."

It's so sweet of you to wear protective gear. Well, before we leave, and no tough training.

"Give me what you use in action."

Returning to the Adventurer's Guild, he was stopped by His Sergeant when he put out a blade-drawn sword on the training field.

"I'll take them seriously at the end of the day"

Seriously.

"Don't worry. Light."

I wear good protective gear, but serious and light? Is that light?

Damn it. You knew I was scared, and you said it was critical.

Relative with the full gear you use when embarking on a normal adventure. There were quite a few people at the training ground who came together to see what was going on.

"There will be some serious training for each other over there. Get used to it."

It's more and more information that I don't want to go to Kensei, but, as the word goes, it would mean getting me used to it at all.

My mouth is dry. There can be more death than a sharp sword.

"Light first. Call me."

Hmm? First of all, I said!?

But the Sergeant is urging you to come quickly.

You're right for now, it strikes lightly. Seriously sounds good to each other. The Sergeant's counterattack is sharp, too, but as the word goes, light. It's a move that I can afford a lot.

But don't be alarmed and watch the Sergeant's movements. I did say lightly earlier. Definitely.

Light. Light. Meet again and again.

It's the sword of the familiar Sergeant. As loose as this, it's serious but not horrible.

"Your body's warm, isn't it?

Still, I wish I could answer that, but I've had enough prep exercises.

"Yes."

"Then don't die, okay?

The Sergeant's lord swelled the killing and attacked me.

Isn't that a light, big lie - ooh!?

Several rounds, attacked by the Sergeant, and managed to strike back. Shit, I'm pretty serious.

My counterattack stopped the Sergeant from moving.

Something from an unfamiliar arrangement...

It moved - by the time I thought so, the Sergeant's sword was already sticking down my throat.

"Thunderlight. That's what this move is called. Remember."

Yes, Sergeant.

Again, both Mr. Lazard and Francesca are strong enough to not be opponents at all, Sergeant.

"You said it would take you ten years to catch up one day, didn't you? Let's correct it. The next time I see you, I expect you to be beyond me."

With all that said, the Sergeant turned his heel back and drew the spectator away.

"Satie, did you see that?

"Yes...... probably"

Syrah didn't seem to see very well.

The movement is burning in my eyes. But the last sword. That sword speed. It wasn't normal. It was speed.

Beat the Sergeant? I'm not kidding. Isn't the Sergeant expecting too much from me...

Satti seems to be playing with the adventurer as he is. Syrah has something to do with Will, so she endures that the power of protection is not something to show off.

It's Satti who surpasses you, Sergeant. But Satti is only getting a light opponent from His Sergeant, and he's teaching me in earnest, so do I care more?

To think it was hard, maybe the last audition was light in the end. Seriously, it was over in a flash, it was inch-tight, and it wasn't painful or hard.

What do you think, Syrah?

"That reasoning is strange, Lord. It wasn't light, no matter how you looked."

Maybe my senses are a little paralyzed.

"Um..."

Talking to Syrah, a few young adventurers came and talked to me.

"Lord Masal, right? Will you put an archery on us?

Hmm. Well, it's boring just to watch, okay?

"My auditions are tough, aren't they? If that's okay with you, I'll deal with him."

"Please!

Maybe out of this, ten or twenty years from now, there will be people out there who can help.

That's what I thought, but when I deal with him, the adventurers who were over at Satti come around about half way, think they can't hear me, and it's gonna be a good memorial, or something cute.

I see. Tourism. You want me to make it a tourist memorial?

Fine. Let's make it an unforgettable Wangdu sightseeing.

"Yes, line up in order. I'll deal with them all right."

Let's all get a taste of my real end.

Tell Syrah to manage the columns. Don't let anyone get away with it.

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

When it comes to shopping, it is a bookstore. It's one of the few entertainments in the world.

That's the King's Capital, if you take a trip to the bookstore you were taught, it's an incomparable assortment of things like Siorii and Miaga.

When I turn it apart, I let Shiraz, who is not interested, take it. Satti seems to take the time to choose. It's caught by the entrance.

"Hey, hey! The brother of the adventurer there. If you get a book out of a pompous shelf that you don't even buy, you're in trouble."

I had chosen about five books and the clerk blamed me.

"I'll buy it."

"Do you have money? Let me see."

Bookstores are tough in this world. If I don't have the money, I won't even show you the book.

Well, it's Adventurer Guild's return today, and it's pretty often battle gear, and I guess you don't look very much like you're into books.

But when I showed him the gold coins, the clerk's attitude changed.

"What are you looking for, sir!

"I like the story. Oh, I don't want it to be lavish. Because I wish I could read it even if it's lame."

"Picture books! Don't you have picture books?

"You're a picture book in a story. Um, this and this and..."

That's just the experts, and I'm going to pick them out tightly.

"I'll buy a bunch of them, so you can serve me, okay?

"That's right!

Load up a pile, six gold coins. 600,000 yen. Expensive shopping, but now you won't have trouble reading books for the time being.

And then there's food. Of course, I have secured it properly, but the itinerary has changed to the periphery, and the number of people has increased, so let's buy more. Maybe there's no time to go back inside the house or elves, and you can't risk falling apart with metastatic magic because you want rice.

It was just about lunch, so I'm going to buy a ton of stuff that I liked while the three of us ate and walked around the market.

I thought it might be a bit much, but the money is enough, and if you have any excess, you can make it a souvenir for Elf or Ellie's parents.

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

When I got back to Elf Mansion, they were all back. Looks like Ellie recovered it too.

And Francesca was there.

When I looked at Ellie, she shook her head. Couldn't you say no?

"The leader is a masal. Right. Say hello tomorrow!

"I don't mind that, but that armor..."

Close to the half-plate I use, but reflective of the light of day, glittering and golden, pure white cloak flickering, really good looking and well suited.

"This is usually the gear. Elizabeth also told me it was too conspicuous..."

"What's your replacement gear?

"There's some worn leather armor I used in the game."

They just recently made a new addition in the growing season and don't have any spare plate gear.

"It's important for the commander to stand out."

I don't care if you put your chest up.

Sure, if you're a SS captain, visually focused flashy gear would be reasonable, but even if you can still forgive Syrah for her dark gear, I can't do this.

"Samurai (Masaru's party) would be a bunch of dragons, but is it strong enough to kick it off? What do you need to do?

"Well, that's true."

Mm-hmm. Is this okay? I don't think there's any danger in a conspicuous outfit...

No, isn't it? Demons won't matter, but they definitely stand out against humans. Bandits and bad guys are everywhere.

"We're strong, so even leather gear is fine. It's more problematic than that, because it's easier to be targeted when it stands out, so you're in trouble as an escort."

You don't lead the troops, and this kinky armor doesn't work.

"If you really want to use that armor, I refuse the escort mission"

"This is an important piece of equipment my uncle gave me... I can't help it. Let's go back for some leather armor later."

But I have to tell you something about this.

"And shall I ask you to forget about the Duke's Lady and that kind of status for a while? That explains going through a dangerous area, doesn't it? If you don't follow me or Ellie's orders then, I'm in trouble."

I don't think so first, but there could be escape with a metastasis. It is dangerous for people to behave on their own in an emergency.

"Or should I protect you on the road, backwards, as a customer?

If you're going to make me grow up in the back all the time, I don't mind that.

"Fine. This is a training trip. Treat me as an adventurer, too."

Sounds great, but I'm telling you to treat me like an adventurer, okay?

"All right, then, guys, no respect. From now on, Francesca is one of the travelers. Let's go friendly."

I can't help but make up my mind. Let's accept it.

So far, you'll listen to me honestly, and I won't have any problems on my journey.

"Thanks again," Francesca said.

"It's a long time to call me Francesca. You're gonna call me Fran from now on?

"You suddenly feel comfortable..."

It's going to be a long journey, but it's a hassle to worry about.

"So shall we go back to treating you like a princess? Princess Francesca."

"... francs are fine"

"Then that's what I'm talking about. Ellie, let's reconfirm our plans from tomorrow."

I have to rethink my itinerary, assuming Francesca's company.

No hunting on the road, okay? If you get bumped, you can do it for the cost of getting there, but let's make the basics a travel priority.

And then, well, as usual, ad hoc, I just have to go per go. Since I've been here, it's rarer for unexpected things not to happen...
