The elegant daily routine of sage Grecas - here we go with a lovely 'Sage Hall' life!

"There's smoke coming out of all over town. Yo?

Plum is peeking his face through a small window beside the carriage to round his eyes. Hemperoza, with dark hair from the side, also makes a face.

"Hey Plum, that's hot air, because there are hot springs springing around here."

"Oh-san?

"About the hot water gushing out of the ground! For a natural bath!

"Wow......!? Sh, it's amazing -!

Pram and Hemperoza are having such a conversation behind the carriage.

Verse Klim, the border lodging town we traced to, is located on the easternmost side of the Parnomechian Mountains that stretches all the way to the centre of the continent and is a hot spring lodging town built on a sleek mountain.

It is a fairly large lodging town, with "traveller's inns" that leave an old-fashioned flair behind, as well as large accommodations that can accommodate large group tourists.

Hot water springs abundantly from all over, characterised by the availability of "fountain flushing" open-air baths in every inn.

Many have flourished since ancient times as transport points to the Kingdom of Metanostadt and the Principality of Canreune and based here on their journeys across the Parnomechian Mountains, to hunt demons in the Great Forest of Kyodittel, which stretches into the northern pockets, and further west to the Sichel Wetlands of Canreune.

We also aim deep in the Great Forest of Kyodittel, "Inside the Dragon Man".

I just want to head out as soon as possible, but no rush. The face of the party also looks somewhat tired after being rocked by a carriage for nearly a whole day by boulders. Other than the three Dickamaran heroes, I'm not used to traveling originally either, so I just want to give them some rest tonight.

Our carriage swept through the gates of the Inn Town, gliding the carriage into the parking lot (* a public parking lot that stops the carriage), looking sideways at the shopping malls that crowded with people and various sizes of inns.

There are numerous carriages parked around with caravan squad carriages, as well as individual carriages, trailers, and people doing business in front of carriages.

"Okay, we're here! I'm heading to the inn now. I don't mind leaving anything but the baggage you need."

"Copy that. That's a writing set, I know"

"I don't need anything else as long as I have this sword."

"... Io, don't forget to change and wash tools"

"I don't forget the bags of sweets, sweets -!" "Come to the pajama party tonight!

Each one gets off the carriage with the luggage around him.

"Travelers, do you use Locking Magic (Secure)? Twenty golds a night."

As I was unloading my stuff from the carriage, a middle-aged wizard with Nico and a grin approached me and called out to me. He has an old vine wand in a purple robe with a year of yore yore.

"Oh, you don't have to. There's a wizard with you."

I pointed at the roof with my fingers.

Rentmia, who was napping, rubbing her sleepy eyes, yawning.

A half-elf boy with a pretty face notices my gaze and waves me small.

The middle-aged wizard sharpened his eyes for a moment, but soon made a serene face.

"... right. There will be carriage vandalism around here, at best be careful."

"Don't worry. The one who can decurse the lock magic (Secure) with him is not there."

"Hihi, that's comforting. So..."

Leaving an unpleasant grin, the wizard walked towards the carriage that later came in.

"Sage, what's that now?

"Locksmith. It's a magical business to protect carriages."

That's how I answered as I stared into Iola's blinding eyes.

You can keep an eye on a parked carriage, but when you're away, it's common practice magic to prevent "onboard aiming". It's the "locksmith" business that's going to replace me with that.

Fallen lowlife wizards or retired wizards often do it for a dime.

The effect of Locking Magic (Secure) is to the extent that it threatens to run an electric shock-like impact or make loud noises when touched, but if a burglar finds a scene that is vandalizing, other carriage owners will either rush to catch it or get bogged down and stick it out to the guard's stuffing.

If you put thieves on the working side, it will still be enough to stop them.

"Heh...! But, well, we have Mr. Lentomia."

"Well, there's that too... oh man, it could be the thieves and the guru"

Apply Locking Magic (Secure) at a lower price to unlock when a buddy arrives. Beware of such a fraudulent locking wizard. Alternatively, some wizards may be forced to decurse (dispel).

"That's what it is!?

"We haven't traveled to Dade in a long time."

I smile sparingly and help Riola unload her stuff from the carriage. Ho... and Iola and Riola turn their eyes of respect to me and Lentomia once again.

"Okay, please, Lentomia."

"Yeah! Locking Magic (Secure)! - Pain (Paynus)"

A curtain of thin silky light covered the carriage as soon as possible. If anyone tries to prank the carriage, the pain runs all over his body as soon as he touches it, and he shouldn't be able to be evil.

"It hurts as much as I think mine is better dead."

Lentomia fixes messy hair with a nap, whilst sayin 'something terrible.

"Which, I'll call you, just in case."

I also choose "Frenzy (Madonus)" in "Locking Magic (Secure)" from an autonomous driving technique (Appct) and perform an automatic chant (Autoload) on the carriage.

"Wow, it's Grey's magic -!

"No, Plum! Don't touch me till I decurse you tomorrow."

…… What happens when you touch it?

"Lentomia's 'severe pain' was followed by 'desiccation (duffen)! ♪ And you're gonna keep screaming with half a frenzy ♪

"I'm frightened -!

Plum escapes behind everyone.

Gufu, and leaked a black grin, pointing his gaze at the earlier middle-aged wizard with chills.

"Sage, you're... you're really distorting yourself..."

"Huh. This is what I call experience."

The look of respect between Iola and Riola turns into a "pull" in an instant.

But it's not too much. After all these years of experience, I can't feel safe without this.

- Above all, the carriage is loaded with important medicines.

◇

"There's a lot of people in this town, too."

"Metanostadt and I have a different vibe, right?

"Oh, this is the base of the journey. There are many escorts and merchants. Gearing up, shopping, eating rice..., a lot of things"

I've always dressed as an adventurer, a pedestrian who seems to have come to sell things, and a rich man with a gift that feels like he's enjoying traveling. The walking professions and outfits vary, but everyone seems sure to be coming for the "Inn and Hot Springs" in this town.

On both my hands, Pram and Hemperoza were hanging.

My little hands are squeezing my hands. A rare combination of red-haired plums on the right hand and brown-skinned hemperosa on the left.

This is the reason for preventing stray in the crowd, but this only makes me look completely childless.

I'm still single and I admire her recruiting...?

From behind comes a beautiful boy half-elf who looks at me like he can see even funny things, and a monk-dressed eyeglass girl who walks shaking her silver hair down.

Whether Lentomia can even look like a beautiful girl, a different passerby, sometimes looking back with a stiff face, has her eyes rounded.

Further aft, the twin brothers and sisters look slightly unusual around.

The original avant-garde and rear guard are completely replaced outfits, but there's no problem because they're a line up in town.

Hot Smoke (Yumi) Tong (Carol) Ri, the main street of the inn town of Verse Klin, is lined with shops that sell the tools (items) needed for the journey, weapons and protective equipment, and yakitori that is unique to Hot Springs.

It is the restaurant that sells the "seasoned skewer BBQ" of various wildlife specialties in the region that offers fragrant aromas on the street. I remember the female warrior Faria jumping up and happily eating and walking from one end to the other.... because he likes meat.

Truth be told, I and Dickamaran's heroes have visited this town before. That's why I knew how to arrange the inns and shops.

And I stopped in front of a store. The sign reads: "Weapon and Armor Store, Loras Pavilion".

It seems Lentomia and Manuferno are not interested in weapons, leaving the two of us to walk around the neighborhood and go somewhere.

I'm anxious not to mention two beautiful girls (just looking)...... Well, you'll be fine.

I decided to take the other members into the store and look at Iola and Riola's gear.

The store is small but lined with a variety of weapons and protective equipment.

Large swords, axes, and decorative slender swords (rapiers) are arranged for women against the beast. Protective equipment is often lighter in motion than steel heavy armor (hevy armor).

The gear I chose from among them became light according to Iola and Riola's health, with an emphasis on ease of movement.

Partial (half) skin (leather) armor (armor) that covers only part of the body.

I'm not comfortable with slaughtering with iron weapons or defending against swords, but it would be enough to defend myself from kiba and claws with animal and insect-shaped demons that appear around here.

"How are you, comfortable?

"Ooh! It's amazing! It's light."

"Me too, it's kind of embarrassing, but it fits"

Iola is the kind of armor that protects her chest and abdomen and covers along her left shoulder to left hand. It is taken on the left side and processed into asymmetrical shapes, from left to right, to attack with a sword in the right hand. At his feet, he had only a part to protect his knee and shin.

Iola's "Rusty Dagger" was also considered for replacement, but it seems familiar to Iola and just the right weight and length, this time at the blacksmith in the back of the store, I was going to have it rebuilt and serviced.

Riola's armor is the same type (type) of skin armor as Iola's, but I tried to change the defensive part of the armor of both hands to cover it up to the beard.

Equipped with the "Iron Fist of Fire (Brass Knuckle)" that was my mother's vision, I chose the equipment to handle melee fights with blows. They both look great.

At least three hundred and twenty golds.

"Oh, you know. But... well, I... I don't have any money."

"Master Sage, I'm sorry. I don't have any money either..."

As troubled as they were, they glanced at each other and nagged.

"Don't worry about the money. Why don't you just let me 'hire' you guys? Here's your gear, and of course the inn and the meal."

"Oh no...!" "Whatever it takes. It's..."

"Come on! Sage made money by knocking out cute demons, so he bought the mansion too! How about this change!?

"Come on, asshole."

I shook a knack down Hempero's head. No longer as relentless as Plum.

"Yes, it hurts... you sage"

There is no convenient mechanism in this world to "defeat demons and money will come out".

If the King's government gives the impression, "If you hunt demons in this district, how much will you pay for each?", the escort (mercenary or adventurer) hunts the demons and pays according to their work, on a merit-based basis.

It is a mechanism for obtaining rewards, including submitting parts of the demonic body, kiva, horns, etc. to the royal government's office desk as evidence.

If there are too many demons that pose a danger, that's how mechanisms work to ensure the safety of the community.

"Well, anyway. We're the heroes who saved the world. I get a lot of money from the King's government."

"Sage...... really, okay?

I smiled quietly to keep the two of you from worrying too much. Visiting my hall to be a brave man is on the brink of something.

Above all, these two have qualities. It's not too late to go through a lot of things and decide if you really want to be a "brave man".

Life in a peaceful village would be good, and adventures around the world would not be bad.

"Master Sage! Thank you."

"Oh, thank you......, thank you"

I left the store with a bright smile on my shoulder.

It's tomorrow morning that Iola's sword will be finished, so all you have to do is go to the inn and pick up your room, eat and enjoy... the hot springs.

And I could see a bunch of bits passing through the middle of the street.

These are heavily armed warriors who hardened themselves with Gasha Gasha and iron protective equipment and weapons. The number of mercenaries hired seems to be about twenty. They're going to be tough to see.

The people in the street unwittingly pave the way and drop off a bunch of them.

And even more eye-catching were the wizards that followed. These are more than intermediate hand-worked magicians, even from the look of the magic that drifts through their faces.

In all, a group of about thirty people moved out of town with Zukazka.

"... that's a bunch of king (lord) hunters from the genus Mad Wolf, the wolves who ravage the area and their 'kings', who are so strong and cunning."

The owner of the weapons store called us from behind.

King of the genus Mad Wolf (Bubbles Wolf) (Lord) …? Oh, is that it?

"A large carriage was just attacked the other day, causing a great deal of damage. Come on, there seems to have been a wizard, but he couldn't stand his teeth... and the king's government on the boulder put up a heavy hips, and he finally fights to crusade."

"Heh... Well, that would be fine."

I snorted at the shopkeeper's words.

"I hope so."

That's what the store owner said and went back inside the store.

That would be a bunch of wolves and 'kings' who attacked us this evening. You'd be lucky if you took a direct hit from Lentomia's Circular Ring Magic (Cycloa) and still had a black-burned body......

The only thing left is the rabid werewolf genus of my men, and their work will be done soon.

"Hey, sage, what's the story now... of the evening?

"Oh, you're the one we took down."

"It's him..."

To my disinterested reply, Iola was dropping off a large, fully armed group in the face of incredible...
