Episode 586: Port Cities and Preparation

"... you all look blue"

That's what Diego said the next morning in the living quarters inside his shop.

Now we are preparing ourselves to dive into the Labyrinth of the Daughters of the Sea God.

I'm almost all set up at the inn, and I'm here to help prepare a threesome that I'm going to take with me this time.

Because this threesome was going to rent this store for a while the other day after talking to Diego.

Naturally, we take the rent, but it's cheaper than renting accommodation around.

Instead, Diego assigns help with the store's work.

It was about helping him so that the needs could do it.

All in all, it's no big deal when it comes to preparation, and we're already done putting together the necessary tools and chemicals as of yesterday.

As for carrying it, it was easy to put everything in my magic bag, but I have to eventually get the needs to be independent, so I let them sort themselves out for what they need and store it in their backpacks, lumbar bags, etc.

Daily sorting like that is also a necessary technique as an adventurer.

The best thing to do is buy your own magic bag and be able to carry as many items as possible, but that one is still expensive.

Even I saved up money for years, and I could still only buy a small one.

I got something very high-performance thanks to some vampire hunting out-of-the-box behavior, but such a chance wouldn't roll in without much extra time.

You're saying I've been lucky a lot too... well, I doubt I can call it luck that the dragons ate me or targeted my life for that vampire hunt.

"... there's no choice, is there? Doesn't mean I've never dived into a labyrinth... but I guess there's no" Labyrinth of the Daughters of the Sea God "? The first time you dive in a labyrinth is more or less nervous after all..."

When I said that, Diego nodded and added.

"There will be, but when I say" The Labyrinth of the Daughters of the Sea God "in Lucalis, it's something special. There are a number of other labyrinths around Lucalis, but in the first place it was created because of the city itself called Lucalis, the Labyrinth of the Daughters of the Sea God."

"Heh, why? Can you pick something that good?

Sea spiritual grass alone is fine, but I doubt it will be appealing enough to excite me to build a city near the boulder.

Diego says.

"No. Once upon a time... there was a great battle in the east, and a group of people fleeing from it was the beginning of the people of Lucalis... and when they passed around here, they heard voices coming from the sea. Beyond this sea lies the labyrinth. Build a harbour town here and aim. That way, you will be rich."

"It sounds like a good myth..."

"Well, I guess so. However, Lucalis was actually created here, and across the sea there is the Labyrinth of the Daughters of the Sea God. Why are the daughters of the Sea God, what a name they have, when their voice was the voice of a beautiful daughter. I heard more than one person... and I'm sure they'll live across the ocean in the labyrinth."

"I see... so you mean" we ""

"That's the thing. So, I have a message for you. The Labyrinth of the Daughters of the Sea God is halfway closer to the object of faith. There are now six months... but every year there are regular sea-god festivals dedicated to the labyrinth. Lucalis' people believe that the richness of Lucalis is due to the Labyrinth of the Daughters of the Sea God. So it's special."

"Needs don't look that believable."

"Well, that's true... but aren't those the ones who actually believe in one of their minds or the other?

"What about Diego?

"I... well, I'm not a believer"

"You're about to serve the temple of the Appraisal God, okay?

"Appraisal God seems rather delightful though. Anyway, it is the things that exist in this world that acknowledge great value. I am encouraged to appraise things rather than to believe in myself. That's why it's okay."

Indeed, given the nature of the appraisal, I know that part is strong.

Because appraisal is only an activity that is relative to things, and that's not what I'm saying when I ask you to look at God who doesn't know where you're going.

That's what I'm asking you to reveal the details of what's in front of me.

Well, an appraisal god might even be the appraisal god if there were gods in front of him, but that wouldn't contradict him.

Because I'm not talking about believing... in that sense, appraisal God would be a little special God.

"I guess if the Needs feel like diving into the labyrinth by splitting up that much, they won't turn their faces so blue... which, I'll go and encourage them?

When I said that to Diego, he nodded, too.

"Right."

I said.

"... needs"

When I approached them and pounded my shoulders, my needs looked at me like I was frightened.

"... what, you"

"We're the only ones in this store, you know... aren't we too nervous?

"Oh, no..."

"Your armor's loose for that. Here, put it on tight. And Gahead and Lucas."

With that said, they rush out to check their own protective gear.

The protective gear that the needy guys are wearing is what I made them buy.

Not so fine, or used, but better than anything they've ever worn because I told them to buy the best possible.

Or what you've been wearing has been too harsh...

You've lived with this a lot, it was so blurry that I felt it, and it wasn't well maintained.

If you ask me, it feels like it was more than a year ago when I took it to a protective equipment store before and had it taken care of.

If you mean you still maintained it well on your own. Well, it's not bad, but even that was suspicious.

Well, it felt more like I didn't know how to do it than I didn't about this.

Care for weapons is the foundation of the foundation, but not many adventurers have not been able to do so in addition to their thoughts.
