Then spend three hours exploring the woods.

Large crusade monsters burst with new magic from Lavia and Hikaru sweeps away the crusade proof site.

Hikaru's "magic detection" was also very useful. Up there that I didn't quite notice —— because I also started noticing monsters on trees and so on.

The collection of materials proceeds with Hikaru and Lavia. Lavia also discovers the fruits of loading the "botanical atlas" or the grasshoppers growing in Hikaru's unnoticed.

Where as much material gathered as yesterday, the two left the woods.

"This is going to make you rank e."

It was like a face. A good amount of money went out for the procurement of equipment and information fees to Cerbec, but we can expect to make money yesterday and today.

The rank of the soul also rose. Hikaru went up 1 to 21, and Lavia went up 2 to 15.

(I wonder how I shake point 1 of the soul board. Another increase because detection expansion was convenient? But I don't think I can make the most of it even if I know more than 100 meters away)

When I was thinking about putting it on hold for now.

Just Hikaru and Lavia were by the lake waiting for the early horse to take the street.

There's a merchant squad with three carriages down the street. It might be a good idea to have the merchant squad aboard —— and Hikaru thinks, what a "magic detector" to deploy.

……!!

The third carrier —— a mass of magic was seated even though he didn't appear.

"Hidden" skills.

As Hikaru did when he rescued Lavia and returned to Pound, someone is riding (...) the carriage without rent.

"Lavia, lay down your face and wait here."

"? Yeah..."

Hikaru turned to the merchant squad when he stood up.

A small run to chase, talking to the man who leads the merchant squad.

There are also two escorts but they seem to think Hikaru is a child and leave him alone.

"Uncle of the merchant. Can you give me a ride to the pound?

"I don't mind giving you a ride, but I'll take the money, okay? Right, 150 guillans."

"Yeah!? Even the early horses are 100 guillans, right? Wouldn't it at least be about 80 guillans?

"120 guillans. Not any more."

"Ugh... ok. Then I'll give it up."

"I'm sorry, but it's not a charity. Run to the pound, but you can go home, okay?

to, and the merchant proceeds with the horse as. Hikaru drops it off on the road —— it's quite a broken bone to keep his gaze off that "lump of magic".

The moment the third carriage took a street, Hikaru called the person's soulboard.

(Bingo!)

Hikaru almost screamed.

"Magic Chunk" -- Sarah seemed to be gazing at Hikaru, but Hikaru just turned her back when she checked her talent.

(It's Sarah from the "Four Stars of the East". I thought so, but I'm glad you checked it out. The ability to "hide" is not as good as I thought. Unken would be better off at all with this. I just figured there was "detection". "Life Detection" 1 can be covered with a coat that you will have made in the Dodrono workshop)

Fumi Hikaru thinks —— why was Sarah here?

Think about where the carriage came from.

That's the King's side.

(Maybe... to find out which actor (...) you used to stop the carriage?

My spine tingled.

When I escaped from the carriage with Lavia, I asked Kelbeck to let people out. The scene is just where the carriage came from.

("Oriental Four Star" suspects that foothold. While I'm holding back, I suspect you might have let Lavia go.... Cerbec said it's absolutely fine, but you don't know this)

Worst case scenario, that actor —— maybe we can I.D. the pedestrian. Then Cerbec's name comes out of the pedestrian's mouth. Kelbeck himself says he won't sell customer information, but it's not strange that Hikaru's name is mentioned as someone he has contacts with —— because somehow receptionist Gloria let Hikaru deliver to Kelbeck.

(This time, by chance, I was able to learn about Sarah's trends. Did luck help you...... I figured I'd better get out of the country early)

Go on, Hikaru thinks.

Try the dungeon after you reach Rank E. Then, at the request of Route Hubbard, he travels to the vicinity of the border town. Keep going out of the country --.

Two, Jill's face came to my mind.

You have a bad personality on the surface, but once you think you can trust them, you get close to them, about the receptionist who's a little rough.

(Exactly, I need to keep my face... you're going to resent me)

"? Hikaru? I thought you were going to take that carriage."

Hip down next to Lavia.

"Let's wait for the early horses. There was a client there."

Sarah, Adventurer of Rank B.

(Even Rank B has "hidden" performance to that extent......)

Even though I didn't know it, Hikaru swung it around "in secret".

(My "secret," a little too much, I guess)

He then managed to grab a safe early horse and come to the Adventurer's Guild at about the same time as yesterday.

"Oh, Hikaru."

It was still Gloria who was at the counter.

"I'd like an assessment --"

"Before you do, may I? This is about the delivery you brought in yesterday —— congratulations. Successfully accepted all as legitimate deliveries"

"Yes."

"... oh? I'm not very happy."

"You don't have to be happy because you're not cheating, do you?

"That's well, yeah. So —— are you still delivering today? Shall I put it together and give you the amount?

"Please"

Gloria opens her eyes to the amount of material that Hikaru has put out, but starts the assessment process as soon as she recovers, perhaps because she is experiencing it.

The adventurers who were around are bothering me, but either way I won't be seeing them anymore. Hikaru had a cool face.

"... that's an amazing amount. And the collections are in very good condition."

"Thanks for that."

"It's like no one knew about this bloodsucking hua. If we hadn't found the herd, it wouldn't have stayed this clean. Most of the time, when humans approach, bees rush and vandalize."

Well, we're approaching it in a "secret" state...

Though, of course, I wouldn't say that.

"So, how much will it all be?

"Yes, 22 crusade requests yesterday, 31 collected deliveries, 17 crusade requests today, 44 collected deliveries, combined… will be 167,200 guillans"

"... well"

"Master Hikaru is upset."

"I'm not upset or anything"

Kohon, and Hikaru have one cough.

"I want to receive 57,200 guillans in cash. Deposit 110,000 guillans"

"Yes, I did. Deposits will be just over 200,000 guillans."

"And —— is the rank going up?

…………

Hikaru is in a hurry to silence Gloria.

Something missing? What the fuck?

"Yes, as of today, Master Hikaru is rank E. Congratulations."

Ugh, exhale. Don't rush me, I just want to say.

"--Dear Hikaru, there is one Redhorn Rabbit, though there is a whole"

"Oh. Can you lend me a dismantling ground? I just happen to get caught, so I want my gut."

"Yes, I did. Then go behind your back."

I'm kind of worried about Gloria. I'm pale when I do it, even though it's something that's going to involve a lot more.

Plus the silence earlier —— what does that mean?

(... well, doesn't it make sense to think about it? I'm leaving Pound tomorrow)

When Hikaru called Lavia, the two of them headed to the demolition site.

The "Pasta Magic" bear-like manager ran from the kitchen when Hikaru came to the store.

"Visceral! I guess you have a fresh gut like a drop of blood!?"

"That line sucks with that figure."

I went back to the kitchen screaming "whoa" when Hikaru offered the Redhorn Rabbit's gut. I guess the rare ingredients are igniting his motivation.

"Ah, Hikaru! The box seat's buried, so I'm sorry, but it's at the counter!

"Wow, okay."

I haven't said anything about eating yet, but it's quick.

Hikaru lined up at the counter with Lavia. The clerk came out with a non-alcoholic cocktail, wondering if I could even ask for juice. Looks like it's for a toast.

So, why don't you drink this?

"Yep. --Hikaru's, to Rank E"

Lavia said, the two glasses combined.

Glass, though, is not an exquisite glass product like cocktail glass. Mug shaped, barely transparent.

Still, the pink liquid that was inside disappears into the back of his throat leaving a refreshing scent.

"... Hikaru"

"Hmm?"

"Are you really leaving town tomorrow? Hikaru knows a lot of people in this city."

Does Lavia feel responsible because she thinks Hikaru is dumping Pound because of herself?

"... right. But it was my first purpose to go around the world. Then you may come back here again."

"Yes... well. Right."

"Oh."

When Hikaru drank his drink, he usually asked for tea next time.

It was then.

"Hikaru!

The door to the store's entrance opens —— Jill stood there.

"I'm here too ~"

and Gloria waving behind it.

Oh —— about this, Hikaru thought.

Guess Gloria contacted Jill, guessing where Hikaru would be eating tonight.

(I thought you were up to something... is that what that silence is about)

Jill comes before Hikaru, who is sighing inside.

"Hikaru... Could you leave Pound?

It was a question that suddenly punched the core.
