Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

"Nao, I got it."

He slapped me on the shoulder with such a voice, and I lifted my face haphazardly.

What was in front of me was Hulka's face.

A slightly frightened look may have already voiced it several times.

Looking up at the sky, the sun almost went all the way to Jomtien and it seemed to be lunchtime at some point.

"Oh, sorry, I'll be right there"

As I stood up and tried to tuck my ass, Hulka lifted my hand and controlled it, 'purifying' it and cleansing it, including my soiled hands.

"Thanks."

"No."

Going to everyone after Hulka, a simple table was prepared, on which was arranged the dishes in a deep dish, around which everyone was already present.

"Sorry to keep you waiting"

"Whoa. Nao, how's it going?

"Almost, yeah. Here."

When I threw something in my hand, Toya took it well.

"This is dice......? Eight sides on a six-sided dies, is this a 10-sided one?

"I can make up to 8 sides, but 10 sides is hard."

It was multiple dies made by cementing the soil that I threw at Toya.

Numbers are carved into each surface and stiffened so as not to be easily lacking or absent.

I managed to make a six-sided dies with a straight square and an eight-sided dies with two quadrangular cones together, but a 10-sided dies in the form of pulling the pentagonal cone slightly off is quite difficult.

This is going to be a hard time, so I'm not going to be able to make just the twelve-sided dies that stick the pentagon together or the 20-sided dies that stick the triangle together.

"Hey, have you lost sight of your purpose?

"... no, no way"

It is, of course, a magical control exercise.

I just made a little Dice for a little breath of boring training and just got a little enthusiastic. Yeah, just a little bit.

"Let's eat more than that. It's gonna be cold, right?"

What the Hulkas made looks like the udon noodles Yuki made on the morning of the second day of fishing.

The utensils seem slightly different, but the temperatures are slightly chilly, with warm hot air and a good aroma.

"I've been waiting for Nao... well, let's eat. Eat, too, Mr. Simon."

"Whoa, I'll take it. - Oh, good! Wow, good!

"It's so delicious, dude!

"Once we get this out of the street, we can definitely queue it up!?"

The flavor we prefer suits Mr. Simmons' tongue.

She doesn't show any particular concern for udon noodles, and eats them when they drift.

I'll try it too, but it's a little tastier than what it was then because of less constraint than the camp. However, after the second day, crabs also fall somewhat compared to what they put in together and took stock of, but at least it is a delicacy that cannot be eaten in that cafeteria.

"Ladies, you cook well too!

"-! No, wait! It's got fish in it, right?... you guys, upstream of the Noria River... have you been to get the Great Salamander?

"Do you understand?

"I guess that request for capture is always out there. They don't have that many people to go get it. That's when the fish come into the city."

I did go shopping at the store, but the fish never sold it.

I don't remember eating in this city either because I never come out at Mr. Aela's shop or at the Sleepy Bear Pavilion.

"Is it because few people go to get it, after all, because it's hard to find the Great Salamander?

When I asked Mr. Simon that, he grinned and shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm not familiar with Noh, but we need camping in the woods where the demons are, right? In some cases, it's an oak. I don't know if I'll find you while camping in a place like that for days. I guess it's not the right place to look for the Great Salamander."

We happened to be found by Natsuki and knocked him down with one thrust, but since then we haven't seen anything other than anything trapped.

Perhaps, Great Salamander is nocturnal and quite difficult to find during the day.

You may find it if you look for it at night, but naturally, it's also dangerous.

Without the lights, you can't see around you, and vice versa, even if you illuminate with less brilliant lights, you risk attracting demons.

"But I don't see any fish in this city, do you not come in from Sallstadt? It's close."

A carriage is a day's ride away.

I thought it might not be strange to see them for a little while, but the carpenters shook their heads all together.

"You're not coming in."

"It's not too yummy, what about Sarstadt's fish? It's not cheap."

"No matter how close you get to this city, if you're raw, if you're gonna let it magically freeze, you're gonna need to cool it down, right? Or should it be dried or salted just as it is when transported far away? It gets expensive for that matter, but it tastes better..."

"" "Ah......" "

We all spoke convincingly to Mr. Simmons, who said that with a bitter face.

If we're using the same fish we ate at Sarlstadt, it certainly wouldn't be very tasty. If it is expensive, it is usually better to buy meat.

Even fish like that, for some reason, people in that city ate flat, but is it like a kind of delicacy specific to that area?

"Well, there's fish in there, then you can't get it out at the stall."

"We're adventurers in the first place, aren't we? Just like Mr. Simmons is a carpenter."

"You don't!

That's what Mr. Simmons laughs at.

"I can't sell it, but I made more today, so eat a lot"

"Whoa! You can rarely eat it. Don't hesitate!

Simmons did not hesitate to continue eating, and the large pot was emptied in an instant.

◇ ◇ ◇

"You've never been out of this gate before."

"Speaking of which, yeah. It's good to be nearby."

There was a field just outside the south gate.

They rely on imports for much of the food consumed in Lafan, so not so much to say vast, but still quite vast.

It is quite a stunning sight to see vegetables growing there, but today is the first time I have seen them because they have never come here before.

Even though the Adventurer Guild building was near the South Gate, we always used the East Gate when we went outside, and our purchased land was also located east of the back of the Guild, so we never passed by the gate.

"Some people are farming. Is it safe around here?"

"It's a good prospect, and it's dangerous. If it is, why don't you run into the city?

"I can't even look around the woods."

Far beyond where the fields have been cut off, even by the gates, you can see people working in the woods.

If the wood dust cuts out trees there and adventurers guard them around, there is little chance that demons will come through it to the fields.

If it's the placement of the field with that in mind, it's probably pretty safe.

As I walk straight down the road, as I approach the forest, I hear the sound of the 'corn, corn' of the axe that cuts the tree.

Considering the amount of that sound and the frequency with which a tree named Makimuki, which is heard from time to time, falls, a considerable number of wood dust seems to be cutting out the wood.

In the work area you eventually see, the number of adventurers is about two or three for one wood dust. They work extensively scattered with some spacing from the relationship of cutting down trees.

The adventurer's work seems to include, in addition to the escort, the recovery of the branches that have been struck down and the hauling of the marutai, with about half of them on alert and the other half carrying out those chores.

I doubt it will help as an escort if I get tired of that task, but I guess that's a good degree of danger around here.

"... oh, you're not cutting it all off the edge"

"Well, I guess it feels like logging."

I approached him and noticed that only the largest trees in a certain range are being harvested by the wooddust. Other than that, I'm leaving it and moving the place.

"Is it to maintain forest resources?

"Is there a decision?

Given that the city of Raffan is made up of wood industry, the extinction of resources is a dead and alive issue.

Given that, Yuki is right, it's not strange to have some sort of regulation.

Just for this method, it's going to be quite a difficult task for the remaining trees to get in the way and cut the trees out of the back of the woods.

Still out of the woods, several adventurers came out in charge of one Marutai, but its footsteps are slow just because there is no decent path.

"Kind of more of a day labourer than an adventurer?

"That's part of the Adventurer Alliance, too. We've never taken it before."

"Speaking of which, was Tommy doing it? Gaten-based jobs."

For once, I guess there's also the battle of goblin opponents, but it feels like what I saw and what adventurers do in this forest is feel like manual labor main.

We continue to train seriously every day, so there's nothing we wouldn't be able to ask for, but I'm a little hesitant to let the Hulkas do this job.

Even if you look around, there are almost zero female adventurers. When it comes to why 'almost', men who may be women - as well as adventurers who may be women - I can't tell. Obviously worse than me?

"... In the meantime, let's bypass it out of the way and go into the woods"

"Right. Even if I stay here, I'll get in the way."

"Ahhh!

As we talked into going into the woods, that voice sounded like it suddenly blocked Natsuki's words.
