"First of all, to begin with, the basis for making soy sauce - koji making is rather closer to farming than cooking. Because Koji is alive."

Renting a room in Suzuki's room for a lecture on making soy sauce that has been impossible to reproduce for years is Nite from Homuncrus.

You could have explained how to make soy sauce from me, but I'm not sure I can answer the question even if I know how to make the whole thing.

So I called Nite from My World. The truth is, Pioneer seems to know better, but he's a pull. I never come out of My World.

Sheena III is also knowledgeable, but he is supposed to be dead because he has face-to-face knowledge with Suzuki, so he became Nite with the erasure method.

"Caro is amazing. I can't believe you found a sprouts apprentice who happened to be in town."

Suzuki praised Caro. By the way, a sprouts shop seems to mean a seed koji shop.

The presence of Nite seems to be a setting called Sprout's Apprentice, whose name remains intact and whose knowledge was taught by a transferee who used to be a seed koji shop in Japan.

"What surprised me was the number of people gathered. I thought maybe three or four people would get together, but I can't believe we're getting together so much."

Fifty people were gathered together. Though I was surprised that there was a room for as many as fifty people in Suzuki's house as that many people had gathered.

I have heard Nite explain and they are all eager to take notes.

Some of them looked Japanese, but most of them were residents of the world over here.

"Soy sauce making and rice making were said to be the two main themes for the Japanese who have moved to this world. In time, rice was somehow made possible 300 years ago by the Demon King's Army, and it's still a small amount, but it's out there. Although it tastes inferior to Japanese rice."

I had heard the story.

Well, sooner or later, under the guise of coincidence, we shall send Koshihikari seedlings.

"By the way, Suzuki. What happened to Joffrey and Elise?

Neither yesterday's dinner nor today's breakfast showed up.

You're just exploring the house, aren't you? I think it'll be over in an hour.

"Huh? Nan won't say anything, so I thought Nan knew."

"... by the way, what about Centaur?

"I wonder if he was eating about half the food he stocked for dinner, breakfast"

Apparently the damage to the stockpiled food at Suzuki's house was terrific.

"Then you didn't go out of town. Where the hell are you?

"Hmm, maybe I'm really finding a secret loophole in this house and exploring it. It seems that the basement of my house has been quite a complex structure since before this house could be built. Records say it happened hundreds of years ago."

"Why are you building a house in a place like that?"

We have no choice but to rescue Joffrey and the others in the way of example?

I saw Caro, I said.

"Carol, I need a favor."

She always takes it on with a smile, no matter what impossible challenges I ask for. He took it on with a smile this time.

But that smile would not have caught me by mistake.

"... five hundred tomatoes and you're going to take it on. Three hundred upfront, two hundred successful rewards…"

I wanted to entrust Joffrey and Elise search to Centaur, and I asked Caro to negotiate with me.

But it was more expensive than before.

Actually, I have a ton of tomatoes in my item bag wondering if this could happen, but that number was just five hundred.

The Centaur guy, didn't he know exactly what was in my item bag?

When I gave him 300 tomatoes, Centaur ate them in an instant. It's like magic.

And walk away.

On our way, a warehouse in the garden. The key was open and there was a staircase leading to the basement.

As expected by Suzuki, it really looks like they went underground.

"Now you're safe."

That's what I said, I'll leave my late payment tomatoes with Suzuki.

"What will Ichinojo-kun do now?

Suzuki asks. There are still days left until the impromptu meeting.

I don't mind the sightseeing and impromptu venues in town, but I'm still concerned about the curse of frenzy.

To break the curse, you need to give him a pill called the curse potion or hang the magic called dispel. They say it's magic that can only be used by a few people in the world, and they have to raise the level of magicians to eighty in order to acquire it.

"Uh, does Mareilgurli have a labyrinth?

"Yeah, there are three. There's a labyrinth for beginners, intermediates, and advanced people."

Heh, do you have three?

Sounds like a floorlance.

"Well, after Mr. Nite's course on seed koji, I'll send her to the inn and see if I can get to the advanced labyrinth. Hal and Caro are coming with us, right?

"Yes! I'm so excited"

"I'll do my best, too, Caro"

The two indicated their willingness to follow in two replies.

Hal in particular looks very happy. I guess you like to explore the labyrinth. Goats Rocky's exploration of the labyrinth was a pretty short time offense, and the demons weren't toothless, so it wouldn't have been enough.

"The location of the labyrinth is behind Magic City's Magic Prop Street. The information boards are all over town, so I don't think we're gonna get lost, but should we get a map?

"Rest assured. Caro knows everything about the town's labyrinth and attractions, public facilities such as the Adventurer's Guild and the Mercenary Guild, acclaimed restaurants, places to evacuate in the event of disasters, and beautiful hotel locations with night views."

That's Caro. But why did you last bring a hotel place with a beautiful night view? I'm staying at Suzuki's at night.

"Me too, I collected information on the Demons of the Advanced Labyrinth during Yube last night. Advanced Labyrinth has many magical creatures."

Was Hal also looking into it? Were you expecting me to make a suggestion, or were you going to make a suggestion from Hal if I didn't?

"Magic creature?

"Slime, gargoyle, golem. And the living room mails, the Mimic A type, etc. It's a demon that is said to be powered by magic, even among creatures."

"Mimic A type?

"Mimics include Type A and Type B. Type A is the type of demon that is being turned into a crate itself, and type B is the type of demon that is hidden inside a crate installed in the labyrinth. By the way, the shape of the chest is fundamental, but there's also a mimic of the shape of the kettle."

Hal explains slushly.

You've got a lot going on in Mimic, too.

"Mimic, do you drop small medals or something?

"No, Mimic is not a rare monster, so you don't drop rare medals"

"Right."

That's what I said and I laughed.

Incidentally, Nite's soy sauce making course greatly exceeded the scheduled end time and would not end until after noon.

Because of that, our departure was also postponed after lunch.
