It was us who went to Aela's store to make an appointment as soon as we got back to the city, but fortunately the store's legs were good and it wasn't until three days later that we had an appointment.

Mr. Aela apologized as she seemed sorry, but it's a good thing he's thriving. Honestly, it's painful when I crumble after advising you.

The budget meant consultation, but the five of us asked for a course of 20 gold coins. Aela was quite surprised, but since it was a celebration, I told her that I had paid the price in advance.

From us now, it hurts 20 gold coins... No, it's a good amount to give out if you celebrate occasionally. From now on, there's no oak, so I can't afford the luxury.

Don't forget about the beginning. I had to keep in mind that time when I only had 1,000 rare and I couldn't even buy a change of clothes.

◇ ◇ ◇

The next morning, after my routine training, I was out of hand.

Clearly, I don't have any plans.

"Hey, what are the nuts doing today?

"Is it us? We're all going to go buy some cloth today."

Speaking to Natsuki, who is about to return after cleaning up, he returned such an answer.

If you can afford the time, they told me to buy cloth and make clothes.

I still make it myself when it comes to simple things, but there are still a few of them, and it will be winter. It looks like we're going to make them, including those seasonal items.

"If you don't mind, will Nao-kun come too?

"Ahhh, I'm sorry, I won't let you"

I used to hang out to avoid trouble if it was Japan, but to be honest, it's not a lot of fun for the women to hang out in choosing clothes. It's good to show you in cute clothes, but when that lasts for hours, you're just tired.

It won't take that long if you just go look at the cloth, but you can't be alarmed. Probably going to be a lot longer than I think.

Don't worry too much about the trouble.

Security is good, and there should be almost no one involved in a woman dressed as an adventurer.

"Nao-kun's clothes, will you wear them if I make them?

"Of course. If it wasn't something bizarre, I'd be happy to do anything."

"Thank you. You'll do your best!

If you're going to make it, I'd rather thank you, but is there anything better because Natsuki seems happy about it?

Thanks to their sewing skills, the clothes made by the Natsukis are good, and while the design is not so noticeable here, the comfort is considerably better than the off-the-shelf products bought here. There's no reason to say no.

However, it is a bit mysterious that they give me work clothes and yukata as room clothes, whether it is stylish or not. In practical terms, I have no problem at all, but whose hobby is it?

"Hmm, are the women shopping..."

I don't even have to think about shopping somewhere, but I don't have what I need.

There are stalls and such, so it seems like something I would enjoy quite a bit if I were normal, but almost 100%, it doesn't make any sense if I know it doesn't taste good.

As much as looking at ingredients in the morning market, it might be of some help......

"Toya, what are your plans?

"I don't have anything in particular either. Any ideas?

"I wouldn't have asked if I had."

You can train magic, but it goes against the spirit of relaxing.

No, I don't need to detain you, but somehow.

"Hatake, but do you want to make it?

"Hatake...?

Speaking of which, you said you'd make a home garden or something.

There is already land. The house hasn't been built yet, but it wouldn't be bad to be making it now.

"Home garden, how do you like it?"

"Fortunately, we have land, a shovel, a shovel!

"Hmm... the first one you bought. Ever since I got the shovel, I've lost my turn."

"Yes, yes. I knew you needed it to cultivate."

Shovels are convenient for drilling holes, but when it comes to field work, it's a shovel.

"The place is appropriately, as good in the corners of the garden...... is it good to just plow?

"No, if it was a home garden, I figured it'd be better to have a block or something to separate it like a flowerbed?

"That too, isn't it?

The image of my home garden is like putting soil in a square enclosure with a block or something and planting crops there.

If you make a garden a field without a separation, a home garden is slightly different from what you would imagine.

"Block. It's not for sale."

"Right. That would be good with stone."

"Right."

No one will complain because they went out of town and picked it up.

Unless it's a stone cutter or something.

Normally, it would be hard to carry, but we have a magic bag. There's nothing wrong with that.

"Then I'll go pick it up!

"Whoa!"

We grinned and rolled out of the city.

◇ ◇ ◇

"... hey Nao. It's good to have jumped out of momentum, but where do you think the stones are?

"... that's a tough problem"

It is the meadow that leaves the East Gate and spreads. Walk down the street and you'll see the woods, but I don't remember anything like a rock.

Not that there are any stones rolling in the meadows either, but when it comes to sizes like blocks, the numbers are small and are unlikely to gather easily.

"Sometimes there were big rocks in the woods..."

"You can't just go in there with two of us, can you?

Even if he returns safely, he will surely be angry.

"First, how do you crush a rock? Can Toya say 'Nanchara Slash' or something and cut me?

"You're forced to. The sword bends. If you can do something like a magic sword with an extension of physical strengthening, it might not be a zero possibility..."

"Maybe if the laws of physics are distorted. Realistically, it would be" only "and" wedges "and" crumbs "and hammers."

"Next time, why don't you buy it with Mr. Gantz?"

"Right. Pick up something now."

"Ah."

Me and Toya split into two hands, walking around the meadows and picking up stones.

Anyway, because of the small number, I run around quite extensively, but after about an hour, the stones I find are short of both hands.

Moreover, many things are likely to be crushed if tapped, about half of which would be suitable for the intended use.

Come on, you're getting tired, and if you look up, you can see the mountains in the distance. At the foot "Foothill" there is a forest spread, but I don't see a large tree above it to some extent, is that the one called the forest limit?

"If you go that far, the stones roll all over you. Yes..."

It seems dangerous, so I can't get close. Unfortunately.

As I took a break thinking about it, Toya ran over looking for a stone a little further away.

"Is that a break?

"Oh. But honestly, you can't do this, can you? Why don't we change the way?

"How... could it be that mountain? I can't, it's too dangerous."

Check the tip of my gaze, or Toya says so and shakes her head.

"I know. It's somewhere else to go. - By the way, that mountain, it hasn't grown any trees from the way, has it? Is that the forest limit?

"Hmm? Sure it hasn't grown... but isn't it? This place isn't gonna get that cold, is it? If I'm right, there's no difference in altitude between here and there."

"Speaking of which, yeah. So it's another factor?

I think I heard that temperatures and wind and other influences determine forest limits. In other words, forest limits are high in warm areas and low in cold areas.

It doesn't seem so cold around here, so if the nature of the tree doesn't change that much, it might be odd to have forest limits in that degree of mountain.

"Others... volcanic... hot springs or something!?"

It is conceivable that trees will cease to grow because of gas and geology.

"I can't deny the possibilities... then there's a little more, isn't there?

"Hot air, I don't see it"

Volcanic equals hot air, that may be my bias, but if possible, hot springs, I hope.

This world is less entertaining, so our dreams spreads like our own private open-air bath. - Well, I think it's hard to go over there, relax, bare, strong enough to be immersed in a hot spring, to get it.

"What do we do? Stone pick up, do you want to continue?

"Nao, how much did you pick up?

"Eight. What about Toya?"

"I have 10.... That's subtle."

"Right. Change direction, let's do it."

Running around the meadows like this is too inefficient.

Digging the ground might come out, but this would also be inefficient.

"Do you want to go to the woods and crush the rocks?

"Then you need to call the Hulkas, too. Can you get in the way of those guys who are choosing clothes or making clothes?

"I can't."

Toya, it's an instant answer. I don't want to interrupt either.

Forgetting a little attention can be a distant factor in getting along.

It's a man and a woman, so there's really a slight difference in thinking and hobbies, so giving each other half a step is the trick to getting along well with each other. In a relationship where one gives way to a step, it doesn't last long.

Well, in our case, we have a long relationship in Japan, so we know somewhat where we can give in to each other and where we can't, and fortunately, we don't even care that much.

"Just get the tools at Mr. Gantz's and see how it goes"

"Right. It's not like we're in a hurry."

"That's why Mr. Gantz, the tools you need for the stone cuts, give me"

"So what? I'll sell you the money. Right, a hammer for a wedge, a hammer, and a hammer for a hammer. There are many wedges depending on the size of the stone you want to break."

"For" Hachi "Ri?

"It's a hammer in this shape."

That's what Mr. Gantz showed me, a hammer with one side pointy like a negative driver. They cut roughly cracked stones with this to form their purpose.

"Well, that's a set."

"If you're here, I'll sell it, but I think you should normally ask a masonry? Amateurs don't make a lot of things, do they?

"Haha, it's good. Because it's like playing. I know it's cheaper to ask a professional."

The time we need to struggle to collect stones, break them, arrange them beautifully and create a frame for our home garden. If we think about it, our working hours would normally be shorter if we took down demons and asked professionals for money we sold.

But that's not funny. It's a hobby, I suck, but I have to do it myself.

"If you don't understand. - Well, now it's a set. If it's not enough, come back and buy it."

"Yes, thank you"

We'll pick up the tools Mr. Gantz collected and pay for them, and we'll head back to the inn.

From the next room we were hearing the pleasant voices of the Hulkas, so we nodded and spent the day quietly in the room.
