"Hey, Kuntz, Sara."

Allen is tracing with his fingers where it says paralyzing grass on the sticker.

"There's about an hour until the evening. Why don't you go to the dungeon for a while?"

"Huh? It's like a picnic."

Sarah asked unexpectedly, but remembered that she had only recently had this conversation with Nelly.

"Yeah, that kind of thing. Sarah, why don't you go and pick herbs for an hour or so? In the meantime, I'll check the atmosphere of the dungeon a little bit."

Well, that's fine.

I was in the carriage all day and I wanted to move my body, so it might be just fine.

After entering the dungeon in last year's hunting battle, Sarah no longer resisted the dungeon. Because the dungeon wasn't as dim as Sarah thought, and it wasn't like a lot of insects were coming out. On the contrary, medicinal herbs and such grow well.

Allen, you, that.

"Yeah, I just want to get a feel for it."

The two of us are having a confusing conversation, but I think we're practicing some new collaboration technique or something.

There was a dungeon entrance just behind the Hunter Guild. There were many people coming back from the dungeon in the evening, and when I saw Sarah walking against it, the watchman at the entrance made a strange face.

From now on.

“I'll be back in an hour or so. I usually hunt in Hydrangea, but I happened to be in town, so I wanted to see how the dungeons were doing."

I was relieved to hear Allen say it cheerfully.

"Come on, let's hurry up."

Running down the slope, there was as much space as Hydrangea.

Is this the small scale?

"The breadth doesn't change much. But there's no deep floor."

I see.

I am convinced of such a small scale.

"But a strong monster emerged from the first floor." I think it's okay, but please take a moment to collect it carefully. "

Sarah moved to the side of the forest with a slightly larger barrier, following her caution, and immediately began to crouch down and search for herbs.

"After all, the medicinal herbs are everywhere and the quality is good." Ah, it's just a paralyzing grass. "

Since medicinal herbs often grow in bulk, if they are found, concentrate on searching for them. Magic grass is often found at the edge of forests and meadows when it is dry.

Allen called out to Sarah as she became obsessed with sampling.

I think it's about an hour.

Already?

Sarah raised her face and Allen called out from a distance. Speaking of Kuntz, they are training to blow the wind into the sky farther away.

It was nothing, but Sarah felt somehow uncomfortable.

Hey, Allen. Did Allen hunt?

No, I'm just checking on the dungeons today.

That's right. I feel like Allen hasn't moved since Sarah started picking herbs.

Allen?

Allen smiled at Sarah.

Come on, it's time to go back, Nelly's worried.

Really!

I rushed back, but instead of worrying, they scolded Nelly for not inviting me to the dungeon.

By the time I got to the capital, it had been more than 10 days since I had left.

It took a week to get there by regular carriage, so it was not so late, but Sarah said she was late, or she was thrilled to be in the king's city.

"It didn't say how many days, so I've traveled casually, but I don't know how many days there were."

If you're worried, you can come with me to the Yakushi Guild.

Chris invited me out of kindness. But even though Sarah and Chris are called by the same pharmacist guild, their roles are completely different. Chris is the leader of the Dragon Repellent Experiment, and Sarah is an unnamed pharmacist because she can do anything. And yet, if we go together, we'll get noticed. Sarah shook her head to the side in a pull.

"No, no way. What kind of bullying awaits you if you come with that Chris-sama?" I'll go in secret first. ”

"So I'm going a little late." Anyway, if you're late, you might want to be a little late. "

"I knew you were late after all..."

Sarah was surprised that Chris didn't feel anything like that, at least if she was in a hurry on the way. Chris raised the edge of his mouth slightly.

"The permission for the experiment has been given. Where do I have to listen to incompetent people like Hydrangea who come in a week from now without thinking about the preparation time or travel time?"

That's right, maybe not.

I wish I could just imitate Chris' strength.

"Chris is a bad person who ignored the due date, but I fooled him by saying that I was in the hurry to meet this date because the due date was not indicated. In any case, it's the bottom line."

I thought that would make it easier.

Before long, when the streets were wide and the number of carriages was increasing, Rai checked the outside of the window.

"I can see it." That's the capital of the kingdom. "

Sarah listened to Rai and looked out of the carriage window to see where she was going.

Wow, isn't that right?

Sarah's attitude that she would be surprised was unfortunately empty. Rosa was the first town in the world to be surrounded by walls, so she may have no more than the impression that the other towns are normal, no matter how big they are.

However, other than the small hills to the east and west, the city that stretches in the middle of the flat meadows is larger than any other city I have ever seen. The streets on which Sarah's carriage runs are wide enough that the carriage can afford to be different, and they are busy with carriages and people.

Kuntz laughed bitterly at Sarah's reaction.

"It's just a big, normal town." If you're a regular craftsman like my dad, you can live by selling all kinds of things, but you can't afford expensive or unusual things. That's why I thought I didn't have to be in the capital, so I went to Hydrangea. "

I heard about Kuntz's parents' home for the first time, so Sarah recovered through the window. Allen also seemed to be interested and began to ask questions.

What kind of craftsman is Kunz's father?

"Basically, I make dishes and kitchenware." I'm an artisan who uses earth magic, so in some cases I'll do anything. Build a house, repair a street once in a while. ”

"That's a good job that's useful to everyone."

"Well, I admire your father."

In Kuntz's words, the carriage had a dusty atmosphere.

"Well, then why don't you stay at your parents' house?"

Sarah was curious about it.

"Oh, my room is already my brother's." Of course I'm going to show my face, but it would be annoying if my son left the house for a long time. "

Kuntz took something out of his waist pouch.

"Dried mushrooms. I also bought other souvenirs such as Marshall's cookies and squid fillets."

Originally, I thought Kuntz was a nice person to take care of, but Sarah's shares rose further in this matter.

When I went to Hydrangea, I thought that every town was the same after all, but when I lived in that town, there were many things that I didn't know until I went after all.

"I think so, too." But after all, I don't know if it's cozy or not, but I think it's not about how the town is, but how you can build relationships with the people there. "

Sarah nodded and listened to the two boys. Sarah is older than the two of them, but she has nothing to say about moving. I had no choice because I was weak.

"I think the king's capital was pretty good once I got out." I can show you downtown, so let's go with Sara and Allen. "

Glad to hear it!

"Oh, I want to go too." I was in King's Landing once, but I didn't go everywhere very often. "

Remembering Rosa, whose magic pressure was so strong that she couldn't get into the shops all over the place, Sarah imagined that there were probably not many places to go even in the King's City before that.

However, Allen was able to suppress the pressure of magic power and go anywhere. Sarah and Allen laugh face to face. One more pleasure went to the capital of the king.
