When I went outside with the gegegeji and centipede shells, the sun was already leaning.

The sunset slowly sets over the fallow field.

Akane dyes everything red.

Even the clear air looks slightly colored somewhere.

"Wow ... lovely"

The lotus, which saw the sight, exhaled with heat.

Seiki is impressed in contrast to the lotus.

If you look at the same scenery every day, you will not be so impressed.

You might have been impressed if you had a sake and a snack here.

Impression also depends on the environment.

-And that doesn't matter.

Seiki turns his eyes to a small prefab in a corner of a fallow field.

"What is it?"

Until we came back here, there was no such prefab.

Perhaps it was carried while in a dungeon.

Prefabricated types are often seen at construction sites.

It is designed to survive the rain and wind, and it has nothing to do with comfort.

Who brought this thing to this place?

Seiki worries and approaches her gently.

Then, the signboard installed at the doorway catches your eyes.

"Ishiryo Arms Sales and Material Purchasing Kmachi Branch"

It was a store of a major company, Isshiki.

I thought I could do it someday, but it would be open within a week after the dungeon was made.

Usually, they do a research, market their supply and demand, and then open a store.

Otherwise--especially if you open a store in such a remote area, it will quickly collapse without making enough money.

Whatever the reason, it is very much appreciated that the armor shop and the purchase shop opened in this town at the same time.

Seiki took care of the situation and brought Gejigeji and centipede shells to the store.

Inside the store, it was night.

No, it seemed clear like a night-time venue.

There is a counter and one chair in the empty shop.

A woman sings a song on the chair, feeling tragic.

`` Rururu Lulur Lulu ''

Red-haired, with red eyes, she was a clerk at an armory store in Sapporo, nowhere.

"Welcome. There is nothing inside, but please look as you like."

You have a beautiful face. She muttered in such a tone that she was dead.

What to look at?

Seiki opens her mouth terribly while pulling her face.

"... you worked at a shop in Sapporo, right?"

The woman slowly turned her dead eyes to Seiki.

Then

"Ahahahaan! I couldn't go to this place, I had to come to this place!"

Suddenly she started tearing Jovajoba while hitting the counter.

that's no good.

Very dont.

Let's withdraw immediately.

I return my heels.

"Wait, wait because the girl is crying in front of you!"

Gourmet! I was suddenly grabbed my shoulder.

I feel a ferocious sign from behind.

The woman looks as if she is drunk.

It is completely entangled in alcohol.

"I don't think it's terrible to fly to such a place, even though I've done my best for the company for the company!"

"Hahhh ..."

"I had a better performance than last year. Atashi, I was doing my best, too! It was too bad because Takataka bought the material at the purchase store without permission!"

"I see.

"No !!! Don't just say that word !!"

Apparently it looks like a star.

Also begins to cry with Ahahahaan.

Her teary back was wet.

"... Huh"

Seiki looks back with a sigh.

"Can you buy it?"

"I can do it! I can do that much! I'm fluttered in such a remote area, so I have that much ability !!"

Why quarrel?

He got sloppy and Haruki pushed the material out like throwing it.

"I'm a customer?"

"Oh yes, please. Should I buy this?"

Her tears stopped as if to close the water tap.

this guy…….

You don't even wear a cat like the last time ...

However, since she knows her nature, Haruki has a rough tone from the beginning.

"In the material of Gejigeji ... Wow, what's a centipede?

Perhaps because the work appeared in front of her, she moves around agilely, unlike the muddy thing I saw earlier.

Remove disposable gloves from the drawer of the counter and load them.

Place the material on the counter and use a loupe to finely assess the material.

"Yeah yeah. Gejigeji is 96 pieces in total. It's one thousand yen because there are no scratches."

"Oh"

The aim was to aim only at the head so that the shell would not be damaged as much as possible.

"Also centipede, should I buy this?"

"...?"

"Ordering armor made of centipede material will be better than current armor."

I guess she is better because she says.

But Haruki shook his head.

"I ask in the direction of sales"

"Why?"

"This battle was barely possible."

Surely hated by equipment, you will not be able to use it.

If you want to use centipede crust armor, you have to go further.

"Fan. Then I'll leave only two shells and buy it afterwards."

"e?"

"When you want to use it later, sometimes you can't make it without getting the material."

"So that's it"

Then she accepted her proposal.

In taking such a proposal as a matter of course, I can see how good she is.

That's why I came to such a place ...

Probably her.

Perhaps he did the right thing without thinking about the opponent's pride or territory.

No matter how much you stand on the side of justice, if you can't get your opponent to stand, you will be lost.

He said that he was well-floated by the company who got the information on the new dungeon.

"You're so good you can make money in remote areas, anyway? ] Or something.

... Yeah, it could be.

To be clear, it's your own job.

However, it is usually difficult to set up a shop for adventurers in areas where sales are not expected.

So let's use her misery for this time.

"Eight centipede shells cost 40,000 yen. Combine with Gezigeji's 138,000 yen. Is that OK?"

"Oh, this time we will ask for a 50% distribution."

"Roger that"

"wait a minute"

The lotus, which had been silent until now, was interrupted.

"You should get more sky stars than me!"

"It's Turen who hunted Gejigeji this time. Rather, I'm the only director."

"Thanks to Kuboshi for hunting Gejigeji. I couldn't fight alone."

Ah, Seiki thought it was troublesome.

It's a party, so we should just get 50% silently, regardless of the role we have.

Of course, I understand what Lotus says.

If you don't make it this way, you'll leave the roots of trouble later ...

But it was troublesome.

"So what's going on? The west sun is hot and irresistible, so why not go fast?"

The red-haired clerk fluttered with her hand.

You are silent ...

But it's a lot messier.

It's more natural than wearing a cat, and it's more interesting than anything.

To the attitude of the clerk, which was too open, Haruki laughed.

"I received half today. Instead, I listened to Fire Lotus. Is that okay?"

"…………understood"

I guessed that the "talk" that Haruki spoke was found somehow soon.

She pulled her chin slightly with her firm face.

When convinced, Haruki and others charge 69000 yen to the IC card.

"I want something to be assessed, is it good?"

"There is a simple appraisal and a detailed appraisal.

"... how different?"

Seiki twists her neck.

Of course, Seiki understands the difference between simple and detailed meanings.

What I want to ask is how far each appraisal can be made and the price.

The clerk probably knew that.

She opened her mouth, raising her beautiful black eye to the upper right.

"Um, I can see a simple appraisal by me. The appraisal time is from 1 minute. The fee is 1000 yen. It may take months. This price is 100,000 yen. "

"100,000 !?"

"Of course, isn't it? The appraisers at Ippyo headquarters will see the detailed appraisals directly."

Certainly, Haruki nodded silently.

A large company that sells dungeon products always has one expert.

An appraiser is one whose ability is opened in the dungeon and has the appraisal skill of the item acquired in the dungeon.

The ability is like a dungeon version of a certain Nakajima-sensei.

It is rare to have appraisal skills and transportation costs to the headquarters, so it is inevitable that 100,000 yen will be taken.

Rather, it may be cheaper if it costs only 100,000 yen.

However, if this is a magic bag, you will be able to determine without having to go through the details.

"I'll ask for a simple appraisal."

Seiki took out a magic bag and a porch that she found in the centipede stomach from her bag.

As expected, it is lightly rinsed with water from a water bottle.

Somewhat wet, but not as terrible as when removed from the stomach.

However, as if recalling the memories of those days, the lotus vomited next to him, saying "up."

"Fan. It's a porch type ... I wonder if it's a magician. Can you lend me a little bit?"

When you receive it, the clerk looks at the porch at various angles while sniffing.

Open the lid and put your hands inside.

Then it is Sururisururi.

What a break into her shoulder.

"Congratulations, this is definitely a magic bag. It's so narrow that you can fit it only up to 20 cm in diameter, but it's so big as a school classroom, so you can use it in various ways. ? "

"Bad but the sale is-"

"I'll buy it for 100 million."

"I !?"

Haruki suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the sudden amount of money.

Next to it is a lotus.

"It's not surprising, isn't it? If you have this, you can pack a lot of small things and move it. In a modern day when transportation costs are ridiculous, you can make a lot of money with just this one."

Certainly, with this, there is no transportation cost and there are various benefits.

Even if you invest 100 million yen, you will get enough.

"100 million is attractive, but it will be used in various ways in the future, so we will use it ourselves."

"Yeah, I think it's better. If you don't have enough medicine to stock up, you'll never be short."

"Oh, that's it."

However, something suddenly came out.

This is probably because you have given luck skills to the lotus.

Bad luck that meets a strong rare species and still survives.

Good luck dropping rare items from demons.

Two luck must have been she pulled.

However, I do not think that I will shake it any more.

If you shake it extremely, a centipede will appear on the first basement floor every day.

Seiki who left the shop returned home with a fire lotus.

"Hey, is this the house of Sorasei?

What is unusual? A fire lotus that impresses ordinary two-story houses.

"There is a solar panel."

"Oh, I can't use electricity freely without it."

Since the stampede, electricity prices have risen, and ordinary households have always been subject to power restrictions.

You can live a minimal life, but if you want to use a personal computer, you need an in-house power generator.

Seiki's house was installed before Stampede, but after Stampede, raw material costs soared and it became a valuable facility that ordinary people could not get.

Panel thefts have been continually taking advantage of the post-stamped confusion.

(Thanks to this, Seiki had to increase security to prevent the panels from being stolen.)

Fire Lotus sits on a chair in the living room and Seiki prepares water.

The water comes from a well in the garden.

I gave it over and looked at the reaction of the lotus, and then put my mouth on.

"Ugu, ugu ... Huh!"

You probably liked it. She drank a glass of water with tears in her eyes.

That's true.

The quality of tap water, which has lost its manpower, supplies, and power, and has been unable to keep up with water purification facilities, has dropped considerably compared to before the dungeon appeared.

There are areas where tap water is not available.

Only in such a situation can we see how we were in a favorable environment.

At the same time, they struggle to understand why the well has disappeared.

Even though such delicious water is easily available.

"Well, let's listen to the story."

The expression of the lotus looking at the cup looking for the second cup tightens tightly.

When Seiki was almost bitten by the centipede, she leaned as if her centipede had been beaten.

I know that something was going on.

But it was not a material attack.

Nothing was caught in Seiki's eyes.

If so, there is only one possibility.

"You can use magic, right?"

"……Yes"

It was the magic of the lotus that tilted the centipede.

I was shaking the point in the unlikely event that it would come so soon.

It was a very quick flag collection.

"Um ... don't tell anyone."

"I know I'm going to be in danger if I get out of it, because it's not fun."

"interesting?"

"Oh, we are adventurers. You want to enjoy your adventure as much as possible?"

"Are you a game brain?"

"Maybe"

"……n/a"

In response to Seiki's answer, the lotus snouts.

Haruki talks to the cup so that the sound is tickling, embarrassed, and misleading.

―― But something hit Katsun on the way.

"Ah"

The mask was still on.

The view is open and breathing is not painful. It's good to have no feeling of wearing, but don't forget to attach it.

With a small blunder of Seiki, the lotus laughed as if she could not stand it.

"This dungeon hasn't been visited by any other adventurers yet, so it's okay to use magic on your own terms. Will be like that "

"I agree……"

"Do you use magic in your adventure from tomorrow?"

"Is it better to use it?"

Fire Lotus looked up as if to ask Seiki's mood.

"Do what you want"

"... I understand. I'll use it tomorrow."

He moved his determined eyes up and down.

"Do you want to ask more?"

"……here you are"

"What is the feeling of using magic? Is there any sense of decreasing mana?"

"I don't know if it's mana ... but it's kind of tired."

"In the body?"

"Yes. It's different from mental fatigue and physical fatigue. It feels like I don't want to move for a while."

"HM"

I do not know at all.

"How can you use magic?"

"I don't know that. When I tried to hunt in the dungeon, I felt like" Is it possible to use something? "

"From a weapon?"

"Yes"

"Why is the club equipped?"

"Yes, this weapon has better magic."

So that's it.

It seems that the magic created from the body is once accumulated in the weapon and released.

Perhaps she opened her eyes.

However, it is unlikely to be helpful to hear the story.

"By the way, can you demonstrate magic now?"

"... It's actually hard to use magic outside of dungeons."

Seiki's question turned up the lotus look sad.

Apparently, the dungeon is responsible for her magic.

The situation is similar to Seiki, but her problem is that her fighting power is reduced.

If you're turned bad, you can't resist outside.

The magic information may not be available at all.

"If you raise your level, you may be able to hit magic normally outside."

"I wish it was ..."

A heavy silence fell between them.

"... Is that all you want to check?"

"Oh, that's it."

For now, there is nothing more to ask.

Seiki pulls her chin small.

"--Oh, I still wanted to hear something."

"Yes"

In the words of Seiki, the lotus stretched his back.

"Where to stay today?"

"... here it is."

"What?"

"Here it is"

"Disagreeable--"

"Is there room left?"

"I have extra but-"

"I'll stay now."

Seiki shatters the strength of the fire lotus.

No, the other party is a girl, is this an uncle?

"Why do you hate it so much? Is there something you shouldn't see?"

"No such thing!"

...... Yeah, no?

No no!

"It's okay. Even if there are a lot of masks on the walls of Sorasei's room, I'll still be in contact with him."

"Wait a minute. What do you think of me?"

"Mask mania"

"Absolutely not!"

It is equipped to increase defense and presence, but does not always like masks.

"Fire lotus is a young girl. The hotel is something better."

"It's better to have this dungeon in front of you."

"But"

"I'm an adventurer?"

"... hmm"

What the hell is she doing?

She was as stubborn as before getting into the car.

Seiki exhales.

"Anyway, I'm going to introduce a 5,000 yen per night inn, so let's sleep there."

“…………”

Gunnu, and the lotus moves his mouth.

Perhaps you're even attaching it to persuade Seiki.

It's not to ask the opposite sex you knew yesterday to stay at home.

In addition, Lotus is 18 years old.

Haruki is 27 years old.

Imagine a girl going in and out of Seiki's house, where she lived alone.

Definitely stand out.

Seiki took off the mask, drank water and opened her mouth.

"Fire Lotus. Do you know where this is?"

"Soraboshi's house, right?"

"Undoubtedly, that's 50 points. In addition, this is in front of the dungeon. If a stampede happens, this house will be attacked first."

"..."

Seiki told me that he had finally noticed.

How dangerous is this place?

I couldn't help hunting at Chikaho in Sapporo, and I couldn't help it because it was a lot of frustration.

But don't forget that dungeons are the habitat of human-eating monsters.

And right before the dungeon.

At the forefront is Seiki's house.

"The only adventurer in this town is me. If stampeding happened when I was sleeping and the house was attacked, who would help the people in the town?"

"... But Sky Star was living here alone, right?"

"Do you need surveillance?"

Haruki smiles bitterly at the weak rebuttal of Fire Lotus.

"An adventurer is also a job to help the general public. If there are two adventurers, one can monitor the entrance and the other can be prepared for security in a safe place. Think of it as a job and stay at a hotel in town. "

"…………I understand"

Fire Lotus nodded reluctantly to convince Seiki.

Of course, Seiki's story is just for persuasion.

There is only one adventurer in town, but the SDF is organized.

Seiki doesn't have to be careful.

It was a fear of persuading a 18-year-old girl that she persuaded a lotus with words close to lies.

Rumors spread quickly in the countryside.

Once weird rumors are made, a criminal can be in sight in the end with many tail fins.

The man is killed (socially) for allegations.

It's a standing battlefield.

Bad for fire lotus, but to protect yourself.

Hotel charges add to the distribution, so just give up living together.
