... live free!

Then what are we going to do while we gently magically dry Yua's shoes? I thought so.

"... a little early but shall we have lunch?

That's what I said and tried to serve dried meat and give Yua one.

"Yes, fine. I'm sorry you've done so much."

And I waved to say no.

"Well, fine, fine"

That's what I said and pushed Yua. Because I don't have the courage to eat just myself on a boulder...... Besides, I'm worried that Yua is eating properly, so I want you to eat it if possible. I thought so and I was slightly forced to, but I gave it to Yua.

"... thanks"

That's what you said and received, so when I started eating Yua slowly but ate it out.

Then when I finished my meal, I was supposed to talk to Yua and take a break for a while. Even so, I just had some relaxing time talking to Yua...

"Have you dried up somewhat?

Then Yua was checking her shoes, saying so. Well, I think it's dry because I was magically drying it. Is that okay? I was wondering how Youre was doing.

"Looks fine"

Then I think Yua probably dried out because she said so. With a little relief about that, I called out to Youre wondering if it was time to start doing other requests.

"Then do it?

"Yeah."

That's how we started looking for things like what we needed to do the rest of the request.

Then Yua's collection request ended sooner than she thought. It's still early, but the request's over, and I've decided to head back to the city and make my way to the guild as soon as possible.

When I got to the guild and went inside, Mr. Elena was sitting at the reception. Yua then turned to Mr. Elena.

"It's early, isn't it?

"Yes, this, too, please"

"And this demon stone, please."

So Yua took out the herb she collected this time and the demon stone of the defeated goblin. I gave you the demon stone of Goblin that I defeated with Youre.

I was curious that Mr. Elena had said he would return faster than usual towards Youre. Usually, how long do you do requests? And I was just wondering, don't you mean boulders till night? I thought.

"Okay. Mr. Lena, how was the forest?

"This time, were you less likely to encounter goblins? This time, I explored from the left side of the East Gate to near the river, but I ran into Goblin only once. Some of them were knocked down before and some of them were worn, but was that little surprising?

"Okay. Please wait while I confirm."

Having said that, Mr. Elena took her seat off. Then a while later, Mr. Elena came back.

"I also finished confirming the request and appraising the Demon Stone. Here's your reward."

That's what they gave me, six silver coins for two. Youre was surprised by the amount of silver coins he was given.

While Youre was surprised, I asked him about the breakdown, but this time the information was sometimes less than last time, and it turned out to be three silver coins and four copper coins. That and one silver coin because the demon I brought was the top species, all Yua's requests combined in one silver coin, and the rest, the goblin that Yua defeated.

That's why I got a lot more rewards than I thought. Nevertheless, I thought the reward for the forest survey request was too good.

"Oh, we have to split the reward"

That said Yua stopped because she had been trying to give me four silver coins.

"Wouldn't you like to gear up Yua before you split that reward?

"That's because I'll do it with my reward"

"So Yua, are you sure you want to go buy it?

With that said, Youre looked a little awkward. I knew it......

"So why don't we go buy some together?

"But Lena's reward..."

Yua said that and cared about my reward but wanted me to think more about my gear.

"I can afford it right now, so I'm fine. So why don't we go shopping together?

That's when Youre reacted. And then he looked at me and nodded slowly as he seemed a little concerned. I was reluctant when I said if you came to buy gear, would you like to go shopping with me? When I heard that, Yua seemed concerned. I didn't know why I nodded with a bare gesture that bothered me a little when I said I was going shopping, but I thought I'd go before Yua changed her mind.

"Look, why don't we go shopping together?

When I said that, Yua nodded, so I quickly rolled out to the city.
