Leaving the country of falling-about the fact that he was the 4th granting surgeon in the world-

In order to give Ian a break from working too hard, we decided to take a mandatory leave of absence by hiding out in the employee dormitory.

Ian sent Marina to ...... his room to make sure he didn't sneak indoors to work.

If he works, I've asked him to pull his ears out and scold her, and he'll get a good night's sleep today.

'Your brother should have a good night's rest tonight, too. I've made you some herbal tea. It will make you feel better.

Thank you, Esther. I'll take it.

As if to get back at me, Esther and I were made to share a room with Esther, and I'd have to sleep quietly because my brother would scold me for doing ...... work.

The stores we plan to pass along the way are cozy, especially since they've put a lot of effort into it.

I think it's great that it's soundproofed, if not perfect.

I can take My Bed, which is portable, out of the item box and I can relax on the same level as the mansion in King's Landing.

The room is not as big as ...... the rundown apartment I lived in in my previous life, and it's luxurious enough compared to my days of living in the wild.

''I wonder if they're still working hard!

Those annoying merchants who came into your store?　The signs are still there.

You're right. Esther, I'm not going anywhere while you're at Berli.

Yes, my brother.

The Berli branch is currently being flooded with merchants who have learned of our presence.

Based on Ian's manual, Elsa's trained employees are handling the situation, so no real harm has been done, but ...... honestly, it's just too much of a nuisance.

If we go out in the open, though, it will only lead to a violent incident, so we're staying indoors as adults.

I admire their ability to act, regardless of the practical benefits.

I hope you'll consider their annoyance a bit before you move, though: .......

After a good night's rest, we spent another night at the Berli branch.

We each took care of our own business.

I made stamps and did some simple training that could be done indoors.

Ian spent the day working in the shop, making sure the parasite merchants didn't find us.

Nina and Marina made snacks on the move ...... and Esther worked out and studied hard.

After passing through the Canuck county, we will go to the Munca and Salvage mines, the penal colony for life slaves.

I don't want to go near that place because it's not a mass faction and there are a lot of former nobles and war slaves who have a grudge against me. ......

Other than the mining route, I had no other choice because all the roads were via the noble faction territory.

Given my troubled nature, there's a chance that I could be involved in a suicide attack or a devious scheme by those who are ...... relentless in their recriminations.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of it.

After leaving the commercial city of Berli, we are on our way to the Count of Canuck.

There were a few merchants trying to follow us as we left, but thanks to ...... Esther's willingness to kill, we were out of the woods.

'Master. I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.

I had planned to run a marathon on the way to the Canuck county as well, but a guy stayed up all night last night ...... so I changed my plans.

I decided to rent a hippogriff car from the commercial guild and take a vehicle.

'Ian, good job. We'll take care of the surveillance, so get some rest.

'Yes, sir. Thank you.

Of course we rented a top of the line hippogriff car with a sway control feature.

It's a big car that allows even Ian, who is tall, to lie down comfortably.

Considering that we're heading to the dead mine, I want Ian to rest, as he's my main competitor.

However, I'm also the type of person who stays up all night if I have work to do, ...... and many of our members are company employees, so I can't complain too much.

'Esther, Hippogriff is getting tired. Let me have a potion.

My brother, I am honored.

The road from the commercial city of Berli to the city of Kanak in the territory of the Counts of Kanak is a mountainous road with many ups and downs.

In a hippogriff car with stops along the way, it would take three days to get there: ...... We have a homemade potion that didn't meet the sales standards!

Give the hippogriffs a large amount of potions to drink every time they get tired, and we should be there in less than two days.

After working lightly in Count Canuck's territory as well, and taking an extra day off, we headed to the mining area, which is the mountainous area on the road.

The Munca and Salvage mines are where slaves are sent from all over the country to be used up and continue digging for ore until they die.

Even after they have exhausted themselves, their bodies are roughly incinerated and dumped into disused tunnels.

Those who are imprisoned here are never allowed to leave the premises again. ...... It is feared on the street as a 'death mine'.

"If Master hadn't bought me, I'd be working in the salvage mines by now.

'Ian, that's not funny. Even without the emotionalism, it's a waste of human resources.

Esther is right, it's not just incompetent rogues who get sent to the mines.

Former aristocrats who lost a political battle or who were unlucky also get thrown in from time to time.

Nevertheless, most of the people in the ascendancy are thugs who have been deemed incapable of rehabilitation.

And I've heard that even slaves in defeated countries can't be sorted out unless their guts are twisted.

'Hmmm ....... As I expected, there's a lot of resentment building up.

The closer we got to the Munca mine, the more disgusting it became.

It has been producing deaths for more than a hundred years, only the mining area.

Although there are no zombies, I can feel the presence of death even more than Losalta and Nazar, which have become ...... war zones.

''Brother, I will be your shield in case of an emergency. Pull behind me.

'Thank you, Esther. And Nina and Marina, stand back and take precautions, just in case.

Yes!

Now, I hope you can get through it without trouble: .......
