Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

The guild was idle when he went to worry about the sky.

Well, there are a lot of people in this city's guild, like early mornings and evenings.

Mr. Diola also sat at the counter in her spare time, but when she caught her eye on us coming in, she gently met up and laughed nicely.

"Good morning, Mr. Diola. Thank you for your help yesterday."

"No, because the support of adventurers is our job. It was a bit of a bargain for me personally."

"We had a good deal."

"Yeah, not at all. So, what's today? Does the absence of Mr. Hulka mean you're off?

"Right. 'Cause the weather's not good."

"When it rains, even veterans can get unconscious, and I think it's good. You guys bring in the oak so often, you'll have plenty of money to spare. Speaking of which, since you all bring in oaks so often, there's talk of a massive nest, do you have any idea?

That's what Mr. Diola tells me, and me and Toya face each other.

I don't know if it's massive, but the nest itself had an idea.

We rely on the feelings of opponents and Toya to find a small group of orcs and crusade them repeatedly, but based on their range of appearances, we used to guess where the nest was and go scouting.

The two of us headed for Natsuki and I on a skill issue. Ahead, we were in enemy range. There were more than 40 reactions there.

I haven't made a visual check, but I have some experience. There are at least a number of oak-like demons, and we immediately turned back and left the scene.

I've killed many oaks since then, so if the source was just that nest, the number would be down......

"Mr. Diola, to what extent do you come from massive?

"The criterion is if there are the top species of oak, but it's not set as a number, is it? Roughly more than 30 species are said to produce superior species."

"30... then maybe, there is, a massive nest"

"I knew it...... When it comes to being brought in so often, I thought so. Crusade request, we have to send it out."

Mr. Diola sighs like she's in trouble.

"What about the massive nest? I don't think we can kill the orcs or be so threatened."

"Because if you leave it alone, it will increase in scale and you will be able to venture into shallow areas of the forest and into the streets. It's a tough opponent for regular travelers and rookies, isn't it? And orcs."

When it comes out to the streets, it's dangerous.

Now it's us who are killing the orcs at risk, but if they come out when we head to Sarlstadt to find the Natsukis, something could have happened.

If you think calmly, Orc is more than the first struggling Vaip Bear.

"If the adventurer hunts the oak in moderation, I have no problem..."

"Oak, aren't you popular? We make a lot of money."

"Right, if you have some arm, and you have a magic bag, you make money, but if you don't, you're a little halfway there, right? Look, isn't it heavy, meat? No matter how many you kill, there's about one you can take home, right?

The meat obtained from each oak is about 300 kilograms, even if it is shared and held by a party of six, it will be about 50 kilograms per person.

The only reason we were able to take home two pieces before we could have a full version of the magic bag was because there was a backpack and a lightweight Light Weight magic bag on Hine.

"For one, it's 5 or 6 pieces of gold per person, so it's not very good for you. Besides, not a lot of orcs act alone, right? It's pretty complicated for an adventurer to throw away everything but one, no matter how many he kills."

"Ah, that's for sure..."

Even though I know I have no choice, it is mentally tight to throw away things that would be over 300,000 yen if I brought them back.

"Lately, thanks to Mr. Hulka's backpack, it's getting a little better. But two is the limit."

They're regaining a little oak popularity because they can take home about one and a half if everyone has a backpack and two if they have the guts.

Still, the earnings don't reach 10 gold coins, but if it's a party ranked Oak can handle, you can make a lot of money, it seems to be a level.

But you can't have two too many. If we're having a six-man party, we're gonna have to have 100 kilos, right?

... No, you can't do it without thinking about fighting? I hear Oise's walking load Boka carries more than 100 kilometers, and if you're a person in this world with higher physical abilities than that.

"When you get a crusade request, are there any adventurers going to destroy the nest?

"No, to be honest, you can't, that it's this city. Because even if the crusade reward is increased somewhat, it's not the right price."

If you are a low-ranking adventurer, the annihilation of the nest itself is impossible, and if you are a high-ranking, subtle as a earner.

As a result, they keep staying even when they make a request.

"So what do you do? Leave it until the damage happens?

"No, if you do damage as a country, you will lose money, so subsidies will go down in critical places and we will crusade under the auspices of the Alliance."

They say a guild-sponsored crusade is a crusade in which the guild speaks out to the adventurers directly and in large numbers.

It is not compulsory, but it is less dangerous to gather sufficient numbers, and the cargo carriers are also assigned to the city during the annihilation of the oak nest, so they can also be responsible for transportation to the city for a small fee. They are therefore expected to have sufficient profits and do not struggle so hard to attract the required number of adventurers.

"I really wish I could run it early, because if you don't get subsidies as an guild, you're going to have a deficit. It's tough."

That's what Mr. Diola sighs.

The state doesn't respond to damage if it's not on the verge of being done to people walking down the street, so they don't go down subsidies to the extent that damage has been done to Rookie adventurers entering the forest.

As an Adventurer Guild, I also want to protect Rookie's Adventurers, but it's hard to do a crusade with a complete take out of the Guild. As a result, I can only draw attention to it.

"I see. I wish I could wipe it out at our party..."

"Oh, no, I've been foolish, but don't risk it, okay? So if Toya and the others get hurt, it's the end of the line."

"Oak itself is not a difficult opponent if you can summon a few at a time. Are the top orcs, after all, strong?

"Well, if you're about an oak leader, the more adventurers you can shoot an oak alone, the less threatening it is. But if you're also the top individual, the oak king, it seems like you're easily kicked in by adventurers to the extent that your normal oak counterpart can. I've never been out around here before, so it's just a flank."

Even compared to oak readers and the like, it seems to be the exact strength of the digits.

Of course, we'd be kind of adventurers to be kicked in too. "I've never been out around here," said Diola, saving her.

"By the way, can oak readers sell high?

When asked so, Mr. Diola smiled bitterly and opened her mouth a little less than she could say.

"Uh, no, actually, not so much. Demonic stones and skins are more than twice the normal oak, but the meat itself remains almost unchanged... If you just want to make money, it's safer and better to shoot a couple of regular oaks."

That's what I said, adding, "I can't get you a request because of that," Diola.

Oak profits, more than half because it's meat sales.

Even if it gets stronger, the oak won't taste like oak or meat dramatically, so what can I do? Instead, when it gets stronger, doesn't the meat harden and the flavor fade?

By the way, the skin seems to sell higher because it's stiffer and more durable than regular oak. If I were to put it the other way around, I guess that's all the offense is hard to get through.

"Exactly when it comes to oak king or something, it looks like demon stones and skins sell very high. Still, I don't know if it's worth the strength."

But I guess the taste of meat doesn't change much. However, if you are lucky, the nobleman who loves rare things sometimes buys them high, so you think you can have some expectations?

"Oh, but when there's a request for a nest crusade out there, I'll buy twice as many Orc Demon Stones. So if you're an oak reader, it's 14,000 rare."

"Is it double? Speaking of expensive, it's expensive... meat and skins make more money, don't they?

"Right. Orc meat is usually higher."

"What's the price of skins and meat?

"... unchanged"

I see. We're gonna have a request left.

I wonder if there's any point in forcing this to go for a nest crusade? If you dare to give me a reason, for our experience, maybe. The prudential Hulka is unlikely to agree very much.

"By the way, Mr. Diola, I'm changing the story, don't you know how people like me who can't use magic can use magic?

"Um, is that not a magic prop, but a physical enhancement by magic or something like that?

I knew there was, physical enhancement!?

Toya nods happily at Mr. Diola's words.

"-! Yeah! That's what it is. Mr. Diora would be an employee of the guild, and I thought you might know more about it."

"I'm not that familiar with you, either, am I? Still good?

"Yes, of course!

"I understand. Um, right at first...... you know the story about continuing to kill demons raises defenses at levels you wouldn't normally think of, right?

"Yes. You don't stab a knife, do you?

Toya, that's Hulka's analogy.

Look, Mr. Diola looks surprised, too.

"Why the knife...? Yeah, well, that's the point. I currently have two opinions on why that is so"

"Two? Just?"

"Yes. Simply put, you're a principled and a princess one."

Too sloppy!

"No party has many opinions about rewards from God for us killing demons and sucking strange powers out of demons, but they are unanimous in that we don't understand them very well"

Hmm, is that what we call a character level principle? It's this faction that Harka explained to me.

"What one sect advocates is an explanation: 'Shooting demons makes them better at handling magic and unconsciously strengthening their bodies with magic'. But this is not very supportive."

"Really? In a way, I'm convinced."

"If so, isn't it strange that elves like Mr. Nao should not be much stronger than humans from the beginning?

"Oh, sure. So physical enhancement by magic is denied?

"I can't even say that's true. Apart from killing demons and talking about things, some people obviously exhibit more physical abilities than normal, and some say they are doing it for magic. It's not something anyone can do because of the small number, but maybe it's not impossible."

"I see... Conversely, some people have to ask me to teach so easily"

"Well, it must be difficult."

It seems promising and subtle like it doesn't.

We might be able to teach you something about magic manipulation, but after that, Toya will have to try and make a mistake on her own?

"One more thing, this is flanking too, but some masters seem to have smashed rocks with their bare hands or cut walls with swords. I also think that magic may have something to do with all this. Whatever you do with a sword, you don't usually 'cut' it."

"I see. So it's possible. Thank you."

"Sorry, not very helpful..."

"No, it was helpful. And then finally, can you buy the oak, please?

"Ah, yes. You still have it today. All right, back there."

Mr. Diola prompted us to move back, and we take four pieces of oak from the magic bag and arrange it on the table.

Look at that, Mr. Diola says bitterly.

"That magic bag, it comes in quite a bit, doesn't it?

"I don't know how common it is, but quite? Please keep it a secret."

"Of course that is. I'm still an Alliance employee."

I've been putting all the hunted oak in this old bag lately, but so far I've never stopped coming in. Incidentally, magic bags, to be exact, are not the bags themselves, but bags of cloth affixed to them.

At first, I was going to say, "It's hard to embroider in the leather of a bag, so will the magic team write in ink?" But I said, "You don't have to do that, you have to put a bag of cloth inside, right? When we talked about it, we rebuilt and pasted the hemp bag into the inner dimension of the bag.

"But I don't think you have much to worry about in this city, but I think you should be careful when you go to another city, right? 'Cause if you're poorly informed, there could be people out there trying to get it with all their strength."

"Thank you for your advice. What do I do if I say so? Can I give it back?

"Eh, let's be clear, if you kill me outside the city, there's no problem. If you attack me, I'm just a bandit, and I don't have any witnesses. … on the other hand, there is a high risk of being attacked."

I can't grasp the lives and deaths of people outside the city, and there's no such thing as' murder 'in the status rewards section.

Unless it's a prize neck and a copywriter is handed out, there's no restriction on access to the city - no, to be exact, you can't.

Crystal balls will help you figure out your criminal record, and it would be useful if you were a magic device like that, but they don't exist in this world.

"In the city, it's a little hard to deal with. Basically, I have no problem paying back, but when there's damage around, you're punishable. Also, if you have ambiguous situations about which you attacked first, you might be more guilty of being attacked if you do poorly. If possible, it's safer to escape."

"Uh-huh. Fine, that's hard."

"Normally, you don't get attacked all over the city unless you get close to a slum."

There's no worse place in this city than to say slums, but other cities seem to have places where when you step poorly, you're stripped of your body and rolled into a corner of the road.

Since the treatment is almost the same as outside the city when it's in such a place, should I not hesitate to return it? Too scared.

"Yes, then, here's the price for the meat. If you're a demon stone, I'll pay you back. Orc's nest, twice as many since the crusade request, so you'd better save it until then."

"Uh, is that good?

That's what I asked back to Mr. Diola, who returned the Demon Stone.

I appreciate it for us, but as an Alliance, it's a loss. I'm knocking him out before the request comes out, so it's not weird at all to be told he's not eligible...

"Because you all bring in oak meat frequently and you contribute to the profits. It's good to just wholesale oak meat and skins, isn't it?

"It's a lot of trouble for us to go and sell meat, too."

We were the ones who went to the butcher when we started hunting for Task Boer, but we've been selling it all off exclusively in guilds lately.

I do sell a little high when I go to the butcher shop, but I need negotiation work, and sometimes when I get as much as an oak, they don't buy it in one house. A guild that buys everything at the prescribed price without detailed negotiations is quite helpful to us.

"I think we'll have a requisition in a few days, so check it out. It is not advisable to accept the request itself at one party, but it will increase the benefits of the Demon Stone."

"Yes, thank you"

That's what he said and smiled at us. We thanked Mr. Diola and headed to the Alliance's library.
