Hmm... this status is obviously weaker than me. Honestly, I don't see much difference from Lardo. Well, if Mr. Grace is more overwhelming, I wouldn't let Lardo get away with it... but the fight isn't determined by status. Perhaps Mr. Grace's combat experience is far superior to mine. If he fights directly from the front, he might lose.

Only if we fight directly from the front... but...

That's what I'm talking about.

Mr. Grace did.

"So the departure is tomorrow, so the rendezvous will be fine at the gate on the other side of the gate Yuma went by when she came to this village?

"Yes, I'm fine. What should we do with the time?

"After an hour or so after the sun comes up."

Then you're going to have plenty of room for breakfast or not.

"Okay, then I'll be excused for this, Mr. Grace. Tomorrow I'd like to thank the village chief for inviting me."

Then the village chief.

"No, I was supposed to go out and thank you.

Thank you so much for knocking the bandits down, and they're going to Phlox tomorrow, so if you ever have a problem getting ready for a trip, you can do whatever you can to help!

Mr. Mayor is a good man, too. I knew bandits were right to kill a village inhabited by these good people.

"Thank you very much. Now you'll excuse yourself."

I lowered my head lightly and left the village chief's house with Mr. Rand.

"Huh, but is Yuma going to be in the village tomorrow? - I'm a little sorry I thought you had an interesting one!

That's right. I'll say goodbye tomorrow, or I'll tell Mr. Gant while I'm feeling a little lonely.

"Well, I miss you a lot, too... because everyone in this village, including Mr. Gant, was kind and nice..."

You're surprised I said that. Mr. Gant looked surprised for a moment, and the next moment...

"Oh... hey, don't... I was just baking you crazy!

Hey, old man, you're blushing.

Mr. Gant's been changing his mind about whether it's a shade or not.

"By the way, Yuma, what are we gonna do today? Of course you're welcome to stay at our inn."

He said, "Well, I was thinking about interrupting Mr. Gant, just like yesterday.

The food there was really delicious, so I'd like to eat it again by the time I get to the village. "

"Ouch! Maria's rice is fine. Yeah! Why don't you just go back to the inn?"

Then I went back to the inn.

"Oh, here we go."

Maria was at the reception, just like yesterday.

"Oh, welcome back, Yuma. Your errand is over. You've done it quite quickly."

"Yes, so what, Mr. Maria, all of a sudden, I'm going to be in the village tomorrow to go to the city of Phlox, so I'd like to give you another night today. Is the room empty?

Maria was a little surprised.

"Oh, Yuma, you just got here, and you're already gone. Auntie, I'm a little shocked. I'm free in the room, so don't worry about it. Can I have yesterday's room?

"Yes, I'm fine."

"What about dinner?

Of course I'm hungry.

"With dinner, please. I was hoping to have another one before I left this village."

And then Maria smiled.

"If that's the case, I'll have to make it with a wrap around my arm!

Then we'll have three bronze coins with dinner overnight. "

"Yes."

I took three pieces of copper out of my pocket and gave it to Mr. Maria.

"Okay, so dinner was yesterday and the room was yesterday.

Do you have any guidance?

"No, I'm fine."

Yeah, good for Maria. I went up the stairs and into the room just like I did yesterday.

"Well, let's see what we're going to do."

"Your skills are showing more signs! This is going to help. I don't know what Mr. Grace is hiding in the village chief's house, but I figured it out because of this skill. And then... there's no particular change. But it's time to remember the next magic. If you can do it, wind magic or dark magic is going to be good. They're both going to fit my style of combat. Now, what are we going to do after this? I went to the village chief's house early in the morning and ran errands, so I'm free until dinner time. When it comes to preparing for the trip, the water can be magical, and the meals are still in the item box, because there's tons of papgos and rabbits, so there's no problem. Now what are we going to..."

Speaking of which, you haven't given it a level in a while.

I don't know if we can hunt and level with demons here.

But I don't even know what demons are around this village.

"In the meantime, ask Mr. Gant, but I wonder if he's still here."

All right, let's get this over with.

So I went down the stairs in my room.

Mr. Gant, it looks like you're still here.

"Yuma, what is it? Did you have any business?

"No, it's not as good as an errand, Mr. Gant. Do you know what kind of demons live around here? I was thinking about hunting a little bit."

"Well, I know, but you're not gonna do it by yourself, Yuma?

Naturally, there's no way there's a PT member who can fight with me calling himself Botch.

Well, to be honest, my way of fighting isn't for PT, so I don't care.

"Yes, I'm going to do it alone."

"One or... well, you'd be fine. What a man to do with three bandits like that!

What the hell is that? That's rude.

"So this is the demon, but there's no demon that you're going to fall for. If you say so, it's Silver Wolf, but well, you can take it down with no problem."

Hmm. Silver Wolf or the one that was at dinner yesterday. That was amazing.

I'd like to keep it as food.

I see. So I'm going to take a little bit of myself outside the village, so I'll be back for dinner.

"Follow me. Don't just be alarmed. There's no such thing as a 100% safe fight, no matter how strong it is."

You're absolutely right.

"Yes, I'll be there."

Saying so, I left the inn and walked to the village gate.

There stood a gatekeeper I remember seeing when I came to this village.

"Excuse me, I'd like to go outside the village and defeat the demons. Are you okay?"

When I said that, the gatekeeper looked nervous.

"Yes, of course I'm fine! And I heard you knocked out the bandits. Thank you for the bandits!

There's a lot of talk going on about me taking down a bandit.

I see. So when I went to the village chief's house in the morning, a lot of people looked at me with a favor.

"No, I just did what I deserved. Then I'll be there. Maybe by the time the sun goes down, I'll be back."

Yeah, well, I walked away from the village looking for demons.
