Well, it's morning.

Depending on your research in the guild, maybe you'll be going to the Gold Forest today. I have to keep my temper up.

Get out of bed and check your body for any abnormalities as usual.

And do a light stretch,

"Okay! Your health is fine today"

Suppose we go then?

To have breakfast, I leave the room and go down to the first floor.

Then rarely did he look like Igle. Well, there are days like this.

It's been a long time since I've been at the table alone, and Sally's here.

"Ah, good morning Yuma!"

"Oh, good morning, Sally. By the way, there doesn't seem to be any iggles today."

"Mr. Igle would have left a few minutes ago. I was so nervous about raising my level today."

I see Igl is also working hard to prepare for the Great Invasion.

I can't lose, either. This!

"Well, thanks for letting me know, Sally."

"No, then I'll bring you breakfast, so please wait a minute"

And then I put my breakfast on my stomach, as usual.

"Thank you, Sally. Today was the best day of my life. Now we can work hard for the day."

When I say that, Sally seems happy.

"Yay, I'm so glad you said that to Yuma. Good luck with your day! I'll make dinner at night and wait for you."

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Then I'll go."

That said, I leave Zinnia and head to the Alliance.

He then arrives at the guild in a few minutes and walks in as he opens the door.

Then from around quickly,

"Hey, I'm here. I'm a neck hunter. I heard you destroyed the top species in the Stone Forest just yesterday."

"That's really awesome. If neck hunting is all about combat anymore, isn't it more than S-rank?

"That's just... no, maybe it could be"

"Anyway, my neck hunt is working so hard for me. We're gonna be a little stronger for a while, too. So that we can protect this city."

Hmm, apparently it's getting pretty lively in the guild.

That's a good thing. This could hold up to some extent even if there was a major invasion. Well, I'm not going to wake you.

I turn to Mr. Mel to ask if the results of the Gold Forest Survey are available.

Then,

"Hi Mel. Quick, but did you get any results from the Gold Forest investigation?

If you're out, I'll be leaving soon. "

"Hello Yuma, sir. That's very motivating. So here's the result of the investigation, which unfortunately hasn't come out yet. Probably will be out tomorrow."

Hmm, wasn't it out yet?

Well, I can't help it. You carry over the Gold Forest thing tomorrow.

That's what Mel thinks.

"Yuma, we haven't investigated the Gold Forest yet, and why don't we take a day off today? Yuma, we all know you're working so hard for this city, but sometimes you need to rest."

Rest, or speaking of which, I don't recall taking a slow break lately.

Especially the last two days have been pretty hard.

Sometimes that's not a bad idea.

"Right. I understand. Let's just say we get some rest today."

"Hehe, I like that."

"Then I'll excuse myself for this. See you tomorrow."

Yes, I left Mr. Mel behind. I'm out of the guild.

Well, I don't even like going back to Zinnia right now.

Do you want to stop by and then go home?

Um, why don't you stop by the weapons store for a while?

I thought to myself when I threw Golithrith's head, is it the effect of the stretched power? I could throw a pretty heavy Golithris head with a little force.

Maybe we can throw something bigger.

For example, the Great Sword? No harm in keeping a ranged attack that doesn't use MP.

I think so. I head to the weapons store when I bought the demon ripper.

The road seemed to remember and I could get there in just a few minutes.

And then he opens the door and walks in.

It's as beautiful as ever when you go inside.

Lisa's shop looks extra pretty because it's a little dirty...

Then an old man came out of the back,

"There you are, hmm? You're the only kid who bought a demon ripper. He seems to be alive."

"Ha, I'm taking care of this weapon."

"That's great. Wow! So, what the hell kind of errands did you have today?

"Actually, can I just show you that I want to buy a large amount of the Great Sword? Lots of cheap stuff if possible. Oh, I just need a bigger spear."

What's an old man saying when I say that? He looks at me like this.

"Hmm, well, if you want it, I'll bring it, but take it easy"

And a few minutes later, there was a ton of swords and spears in front of me.

"Oh, that's all I need! Thank you, Grandpa. We'll buy them all."

"I don't know what the hell to use it for, well, pretty. How about a piece of gold for all of this?

I don't know if it's cheap or expensive, but I'm gonna trust this old man here.

"Yes, so please."

And I gave a piece of gold to the old man, and I got a safe, massive throwing weapon.

It all goes into the item box for now.

The old man who watched it,

"Well, magic is really convenient."

"Right. I think so, too. Then I'll be excused for this. Thank you very much."

Yes, I told the old man, and I left the weapons store.

Hmm, you made a good purchase.

Is it time to go back to Zinnia?

I think so. I walk out to Zinnia.

And I was able to get to Ginia in a few minutes, and that means I still have time until dinner, so I went back to my room and rested in bed.

I knew I'd calm down in bed.

Then a few hours later.

As I relaxed in the bed, I heard a knock on the door,

"Yuma, are you awake?"

Sally was in front of my room.

Though I find it rare, I get out of bed and open the door.

"What's wrong, Sally? Is it dinner time already?

"No, it's not. When I went to Lisa's today, I heard Yuma was fighting to stop the big invasion."

Yeah, I see.

You certainly didn't say that because you don't want Sally to worry too much.

"Maybe no matter what I say, Mr. Yuma will fight, so just two, please. Don't be too unscrupulous. And to come back to Ginia! Nice."

I didn't if I thought I could stop fighting.

But Sally's worried about me is telling me so much.

Are you coming back to Zinnia?

"Oh, it's all right, Sally, I'm not going to be impotent, and I'm coming back to Ginia properly. This is like my house."

When I say that, Sally smiles like the sun.

"It's a promise! Then I'll be ready for dinner as usual, so I'll see you later."

Saying so, Sally went back to get ready for dinner.

Afterwards I enjoyed Sally's cooked dinner as usual with Igle and returned to my room.

And lay down in bed, remembering Sally's words.

This is probably the first time someone's ever been so worried about me.

I can't believe you were worried about me in the last world... No, my father and mother probably were worried about me.

And I just didn't notice.

"Well, it's too late to regret it now."

At least let's not regret it this time.

Don't let Sally or the people you worry about grieve you.

Let's definitely come back here alive......

That's how I decided.
