When I was talking to Mr. Zimbal while making sushi at the sushi restaurant that Mr. Zimbal runs, I told him that I was going to create a restaurant in the future that would provide fresh fish such as sushi and sashimi in [Water Country], Mr. Zimbal was eating a lot.

"Mr. Ray, when you definitely open a store, how about one within [Empire]? I'll fund the shop.

"No, I'm not relying on anyone else for that.

I borrowed the land bill from my mother for the second store in Cecilia Shop, but I refused to borrow the money from others because it would be a hassle later.

Exceptions are made only with regard to the example canteen under Maria's control.

"Doesn't it take decades for an adventurer to make money to leave a store? Adventurers make good money from advanced classes, but there are also many dangers.

"That's okay, too. Well, I'm sure it'll take about three years.

"Only three years!? You can't have an advanced class adventurer on a boulder, can you?

"Well, there's a lot going on.

"I see there's something you can do. Then I'll look forward to opening it up.

Then Justin and Amelia came back, so they had dinner at another store run by Mr. Gimball.

Amelia's story is that both of them were hit in the boss battle, resulting in a dungeon-only status drop.

This made the dungeon offense impossible for at least five days, so I decided to give up the [swamp dungeon] offense and go to the next city.

"Ray, don't [swamp dungeons] have to attack?

"No, I let the Pilis and the others attack the dungeon. For once, I wanted to know if there was an example.

"The boulder pillis are early, aren't they? It's that strength and it's an elementary class, so it's like a class scam.

"Sure, because maybe it's stronger than our party. Especially since Sodom's defenses are incredibly high.

Even now Sodom, along with himself and Cecilia, was forced to train in the [giant crystal] room of water for about two hours a day, so the armor itself, like Cecilia's body, was sigging [magic] stronger.

I was near the [giant crystal] of water myself, and I felt like I could get the hang of training in water attribute granting.

"I plan to leave [Imperial Harbor] the day after tomorrow, via the mining cities [Mountain] and [Takayama], to the capital [East Capital] of [Empire], but do you want to stop somewhere? For once, I have a map of [Empire].

Sounds like we all have no particular hope...

I also asked Justin and Amelia about the comfort of using weapons and other items, but they seemed to like the skin gear a lot. It's light and seems to be just the right thing to do for a recirculation or something.

Mr. Zimbal was shocked to hear that they would be leaving [Imperial Harbor] the day after tomorrow, so he only told them that he would come back to see them soon.

When we left [Imperial Harbor], Lady Garn and Lady Errar rarely stopped near us.

And after a close look, Master Gurn had a number of weapons, such as caged hands and one-handed axes. You've never seen Master Garn armed.

"Is that? Is what Master Gurn is equipped with [Magic Instrument]?

I don't know if I care, but everything that Master Gurn was equipped with was [Magic Instrument]. Can [Demon King] use [Magic Gear] as well?

"Sure, it's a [magic guide], but it's a [arrogant] piece of equipment. Ray might be able to use it.

I may not be able to use it as it is, but if it can be improved slightly, can I just use the special effects? But...

"Everything is too big for me to use. With that said, Master Amir wasn't equipped with [Magic Gear], was he?

"Amir was strong, but as [Demon King], he was only half a serving. [bulimia] It wasn't enough to use special equipment. If I had used it, the results would have been different.
