I want to protect you in this hand.

When Mal's engagement and the thriving power comparison settled, we headed to Knoll, a city in McKenny's territory.

Nico and Blanc were diving into the dungeon because of the power comparison and so on, but they followed us with great joy when they heard we were headed north.

As for Mal's engagement,

"You."

And I was definitely worried, but he blessed me. He looks forward to telling Maria and Sophie about me and Mal. Mal can see. He's good at housework and everything. The food is good, it can be cleaned well and embroidered. Just a little, kind of a little, yeah, it's hard to see things when you're obsessed?

I tried so hard to explain to Nico and Blanc that Mal was okay, but the two of them looked at me with the kind of eyes that looked at the poor thing.

"It applies to Arsh as it is."

"Well, that's fine with Cyril and Orlando."

"Wait, doesn't Orlando know?

"Then you'd better stay out of it."

Rude. Must be all the more fine if you're like me.

Unlike the imperial dungeons, Kilik's dungeons have a clear surge. Adventurers seldom come from the outside, but they're always welcome to the mighty who can spare a little more of the demons. As a result, Nico and Blanc were granted permission to accompany them.

When I came to the Empire and realized there were few dungeon demons, I wondered if it was because I was far from Merrill. I heard there is no route to the east because there is a continent east of Merrill that has demons. I mean, I was wondering if the further west you go, the weaker the demon momentum. But Kilik's dungeons have more demons than empires. Strange thing.

It's a week's ride in the carriage, but we got a horse ride this time. I had a hard time with muscle aches every day, but I didn't say how refreshing it is to run through the meadows with horses with signs of autumn. Still cautiously for a week, I got to Knoll.

Sometimes tents are used for the grazing of big deer, but basically the people of Kilik settle in the city. Slightly colder and windy northerly, Knoll had many snug stone buildings. I saw a large bay from the city entrance and some small boats. Even if the sea is rough because of the narrow entrance to the bay, the bay is not very affected, and they have certain catches. Also, you can hear the blacksmith faintly from along the mountain.

About Knoll. Nico and Bran just went to the dungeon.

But we first took a look around the city of Knoll. The hall of the chief was large and large, but that was because everyone would gather together, and not because the chief lived a life of desperation. Also, there's nothing like a slam.

"The benefits of the dungeon are distributed in order of contribution. There's no difference between rich and poor."

"I don't see any orphans, though."

When I ask,

"Tribes are gathered at a certain age to train, so even children without parents are taken care of in the tribe. It's not like there are no orphans, but someone's gonna take care of them."

Says: I think it's a good country.

"But some feel that men work for everyone in the dungeon, that women support it, that there are always too many things to do on a tribal basis to be free."

Mr. Steven added that.

"I want to learn more, for example, but that won't help me with Kirik. That's why there's no high school. Also, you'll want to get involved in business. However, there is no need for new commerce, etc. I have no choice but to end up in a dungeon or in an existing profession."

"I'm usually satisfied with that. Besides, Knoll has a choice to call it a fisherman and a blacksmith. If you don't want to fight, you can go to the center and get agriculture. Such emigration will also be discussed and allowed at the Tribal Chiefs' Council."

"That's not why I can do what I want right away. I'm just cramped."

"Not many people leave like my brother."

"Can't we take on someone who wants to go outside, at the McKenny Chamber of Commerce?

"At home? I've never been here before."

Will joined the story. I talked to him a little too.

"For example, we make dormitories and dormitories dedicated to Kilik in the Imperial City. While working downstairs at the McKenney Chamber of Commerce, I learn words and gain a lot of experience. You can work at Mal's."

"Well, I'm pretty sure the Chamber of Commerce is making money. I can afford that much. I intend to return the profits to Kilik by developing the facility, but is there another way to do it?"

"It can also be used for pre-school training for people who want to study."

"Hmm."

Chief to Mr. Kenneth and Mr. Steven are discussing this with the three of us.

"Shall we come up with this proposal at next year's Tribal Chiefs' Conference?"

"There are a certain number of young people who are unhappy with the status quo. If you decide to accept it from other territories..."

"I have trouble staying there, but some of them will bring something good to Kilik"

Seeing the city as one, Cyril went to see the ship and Will and Dan went to see the blacksmith. Me and Mal stayed in the hall and decided to make the doughnuts we promised Sarah.

Sarah and I were together all the time during the trip, but we were like sisters to Mal. She was the kind of girl who made Mal listen better, make him grown up, and make him a good kid. So you're saying you're like a different person? No, no, I'm almost with you where your expression doesn't change, where you like to eat, where you can't see around the guide when you're obsessed, and I know very well Will cares. Me and Mal rejoiced as if we had a sister. Most importantly, I heard later that Sarah thought she had a sister too, three of them, even though they were the same age.

I brought the ingredients for the doughnuts and the beast fat, so I gave him the doughnuts in the garden of the hall. Nice smell, a bunch of little kids I was training for and a bunch of free hands. Freshly fried doughnuts, with a little sugar. Yes, go ahead.

"Yum!"

"I've never eaten anything like this before!

It's gone whether I give it to you or not. Gradually, the men gathered, and finally the doughnut seeds disappeared.

"See you tomorrow, I'll give you doughnuts!

So they let me go. Oh, boy.

"Hey, Sarah, it's a fishing port. You don't give fish oil or anything?

"I wouldn't salt it, boil it or cook it in the oven, but I wouldn't use so much oil"

"Uh, you can take demon meat from the dungeon, right? Oil?"

"Oil? Just meat and skin?

Deep-fried doughnuts can only be used for doughnuts. If I were to give you fish, I would have new oil...

"Eh, the demolition station..."

"In the dungeon. I haven't been there much."

Even in the dungeon!

'Cause whatever's left of the demolition, you just have to stay in the dungeon.'

Sure. It's eye-to-eye. He said we should just take quality meat and skin out of the dungeon. In Merida, they dismantled it outside and put bones and stuff in the dungeon again. All right. Tomorrow we'll go to the dungeon and let them take the beast fat. I've been busy.
