"Let's make a policy, shall we?"

"Right."

It was us who decided to talk to Mr. Diola, but yesterday it was too late to get home from the woods, so the Adventurer Guild hit a busy time and we couldn't afford that very much.

We only sold demonic stones, materials, and so on, and the Hulkas went to talk to us again today.

In the meantime, we train.

I can now make brick-sized blocks in that shade... because it's something I made for comfort, well, it doesn't matter.

It's a block made of magic, so it's hard enough, but because I used the soil in the place, 'it just seems to have solidified the soil', 'the colors are the same, so it lacks decorativeness', 'wouldn't this just boost the soil?' and so on have nothing to do with eating no out.

... Damn, one of these days I'm gonna make a block that I can't complain about.

"Erm, first of all, it's the adventurer's job this time of year, but it still looks like it's going to decrease overall"

They don't get that cold around here, but it still affects them.

Herbivores wither, and fewer people come and go, so less caravan escort work.

"The wooden guards also seem to decrease in winter because there are people who are off work. That's why some people are moving their base to a little more southern city this time of year."

The situation continues now for about January, and that seems to be the case for the next couple of months or so.

We're not gonna hire a wooden escort, so it doesn't matter if you say it doesn't really matter, but do we compete on other jobs?

"Collecting nuts like wax beetle and hashiki, and then walnuts and chestnuts."

"Looks like we can pick some other nuts named Kut, but this doesn't seem like much money"

"You're a nut I don't know, huh?

"I was in the lunch I had at Aela's before... don't you remember?

"... ah! That delicious guy! Why wouldn't it be money?

Even though it's a pretty delicious nut.

"It looks like an easy nut to grow, and with one, it looks like you can pick a fair amount. So it looks like you're planting a house with a garden."

Even ordinary people would plant a few if they had somewhat larger gardens, and purposefully collect them from the woods to sell the harvested nuts on the market to earn a dime, so the costs don't seem commensurate.

"Do you want to plant it in our house? There's a big garden."

"Nice! It felt just right for a snack."

"It'll take years to harvest..."

"There's no such thing as a tree planter."

Eight years of peach chestnut tomatoes, and eighteen years of grapefruit idiots.

I wonder how long it'll take Kut?

"Oh, no, it's actually growing, Kut tree"

"Oh, really?

"Yes. I went to see it and it was growing a few bottles. The original inhabitants are from this city, too, and I'm sure you planted them. I've picked up some."

That's what Natsuki took out of his pocket and arranged it on his desk, about a centimeter round nut. It feels like I've rounded up a lot, but I don't have a hat.

The shell... it's not that hard. Chestnuts, of course, softer than dust? The more nails you put up, the more likely you are to peel off.

"How do you eat this?

"Burn lightly, peel, eat as you go, or shake salt,"

"All right, we'll pick it up later"

"There are quite a lot of them, so if it's about what we eat, it's going to be enough for a year."

We wouldn't have a problem saving it.

"I'm not opposed to picking it up, but now we're talking about work."

"Oh, sorry."

"Wax beetles, as its name suggests, are beetles that can get waxed. It's about 10 centimeters in size and I just need you to collect those feathers. Does Hasiki feel like a haze when she talks to you? He said he could pick wax."

"They're all materials used to make furniture, but almost all of them, they seem to be importing"

"... hmm? Doesn't that mean you can't pick this place?

"No, I can pick it around here, but that's the back of the East Forest."

"Simply put, there is no match between danger and reward."

Specifically, they can collect from the area where our extinct oak nest was located, but if we're going to collect it there, we're going to need a level where we can kill the oak without endangering it.

But if you can kill an oak, it's easier to make money hunting one.

Even though they say they can buy it pretty high, they don't collect it all day and get it for 2 oaks.

Seems like Mr. Diola stopped him "better stop" too, so it's pretty good.

"After all, it's the 'South Forest Goblin Massacre Row'? In the back of the woods, chestnuts and walnuts were still falling, and if you put them together, you could make money in about a month."

"I'm sorry to hear that, that name. About Operation South Forest Clean."

"It's the same thing to do."

You mean the goblins are cleaned clean.

"For once, I was also taught a job that I could earn regardless of the season if I had a magic bag...... Diola says' I can't recommend this'"

"What's that?

"We're cutting trees north of this town around the foothills of the mountains. Originally, the furniture industry in this city developed from the mingwood that can be picked around it, so it's very valuable."

If it's good, it's better than 100 pieces of gold in one bottle, and if it's bad, it can even be 1,000 pieces.

However, a magic bag is mandatory for transport, and it is a strong demon around.

I can't even pick cosoli like a herb or a mushroom more than chopping down a tree.

It takes a while to cut one, and the demon drops by because it makes noise. In the meantime, you will also need a combat capability that will only protect you.

"But for that price, isn't that the kind of request a highly-ranked adventurer might take?

"It's not a bad amount, because if you have a magic bag at that rank, you don't have to come to this city to make money in a different way"

"It's not the right kind of wacko, but isn't it attractive enough to move the base on purpose?"

The town of Raffan is somewhat rural, so from an adventurer's point of view, it's not a very attractive town.

Demons near town are weak and seem safe, so I guess they're not bad for living, but they certainly may be scarce for irritation.

From what I can tell, it's a pretty charming town at a certain point in a day's walk.

"There's a dungeon or something in this world. Seems more popular with adventurers that way. Most importantly, dungeon attackers seem more adventurous than timber carriers!

"Dungeons are good! I want to do it too."

"Me too! Dungeons and dragons, they're classic!

I raise my voice unexpectedly to the information presented by Yuki.

I know there's nothing like a game, but there's a part of you that I kind of admire, I knew it.

Again, are there places like dungeon cities?

"You can try the dungeon with me, but is the dragon nashi? If we meet, we'll probably die."

"Right, I'm not saying no, but after you work out more, right? Our Adventurer Rank is only 2."

"Yeah, sure"

Calm down at once to the words of Hulka.

Dungeon Attack, I'm interested, but life is more important.

I'd like to see the dragon too if I just see it, but I'm sorry to fight.

"So while we pick up the nuts in the south woods for a while, good for the goblin crusade?

We don't have any other choice in Halka's words, so we snort.

Winter would be otherwise good with idling activities.

Except for mood problems, it also makes sense to defeat demons.

"By the way, what about Tokuoka and the others?

Once the future policy was decided, we talked about something that was slightly caught on, but the Hulkas beheaded with a look they said they didn't understand very well.

"What do you want me to do?

"Some kind of throwaway dialogue, you left it behind."

You did say something like "remember", didn't you? Unless my memory is wrong.

No way, not the word Yuki said in the sense of 'don't forget the name' because she didn't remember the name.

Nothing to worry about if it's Japan, but, uh, those guys, they loose their ethics. Yes, they do, both in behavior and in tone. When I was in Japan, I didn't seem like the type to act like that.

"But those guys, they're not that strong, are they? Something to brag about," I moved to the South Forest in a month, "but it doesn't look like I was hunting for an oak."

"Right. I'm worried that you don't have strange skills, but I don't have cheat skills, so I don't think you need to worry too much."

As Evil God said, I have not encountered cheat skills so far, even with mine skills.

From the point of view of 'survival', [enemy] skills are cheesy in a way, but they just know the location and general strength of the enemy, so if they are targeted by an overwhelmingly strong enemy, running away will also die in time.

Besides, I can also nod that it's a bit powerful, considering it was 10 points at one level with a lot of 5 points of skill at one level.

"But it's also a hassle to get numbed again"

"You want to try not to see me as much as you can, it was unclean, and clearly it stinked!

"Yuki, you're a kitty! That's because we're just blessed!

Too clearly, Yuki utters a damaging word when a boy is told by a woman.

- No, does gender matter? Even if the girls were told by the boys, the damage would surely be enormous.

We're clean thanks to light magic, but without it, normal adventurers can only deal with the extent to which they wipe their bodies. Because there are no public baths.

There is also a method of bathing in the well, but it will be just as tough this season.

With that in mind, isn't there room for extenuating circumstances?

"Still don't wonder if that filth is there. You didn't even shave?

"No, no, no, a level of blade that can shave your beard nicely, it's hard to maintain, too, huh?

"Yes, yes. We're trying pretty hard, too, huh?

To be clear, it's hard for an amateur to shave like a razor with a sharpened blade. Furthermore, the beard is quite stiff and the blade quickly becomes dull.

We use the special blade we bought from Mr. Gantz, which is maintained and used daily by [Blacksmith] skilled Toya, but still failed many times in the beginning to bleed and take care of healing magic.

In terms of the frequency of bleeding shaving, it is more frequent with a shave than in combat. What a subtlety.

It is an event that I realized the gratitude of electric shavers and safety razors.

For once, I asked Tommy to make a safety razor, can it happen?

"And that big hair... Speaking of which, both Nao and Toya have grown their hair. Am I interrupting?

"Honestly, out of the way. It's time to hang up..."

My hair, which was slightly shorter, grew a lot, and my forehead started hanging on my eyes. That's all I spent time here, isn't it?

... hmm, is there a barber shop or something in this city too?

"The Hulkas are beautiful, aren't they? Could it be hanging up?

Halka is slightly longer semi-long, Natsuki is long, Yuki is bob-cut.

Usually, Hulka ties in the back and Natsuki makes it a ponytail, so I didn't really care, but when I tried again, Yuki's hair wasn't broken, and Hulka and Natsuki didn't have weirdly long forehair.

"Didn't you notice? Of course, I'm hanging up. We'll do it ourselves."

Even with each other, it seems that Haruka has cut two hairs and Haruka's hair is cut by Natsuki under Haruka's direction.

Yuki said, "Natsuki is safer," and Natsuki said, "You don't have to ask me to have Hulka, do you?".

"Toya, why don't you hang up? Me."

"Why not! Why would you ask Yuki to talk to me now?!?"

"No, do you have practice? If you fail, but you mow it round...... no can't you. The elves are mowed, the beasts are mowed."

"Naturally, bogus! I'll ask Halka too!!

Oh man, Yuki shrugging his shoulders and shaking his head like that, but rather that would be this dialogue. It is also natural for Toya to be angry.

The beast man's head is mowed round his head, only his ears are hairy or whatever punishment game it is.

It is in a sense a punishment game, not only from Toya, but also from those who see it.

Well, I don't like to prune the whole thing, either.

"Well, I'll cut you later. Proper and good, right?

"Oh, so please"

"Oh, no."

With a bar reading, Yuki protests like that.

You don't really want to cut it, you.

"Right... Yuki's hair, if you'll let me cut it -"

"Good luck, Halka! I'll take care of all the cuts in the future!

Before I said it all, I gave my palm back with a good smile.

Especially if they say 'okay'. Anyway, I should be able to cut a bob-cut like Yuki.

"Shit, do you understand our anxiety?

"Hair is a woman's life!? Don't be with me!

"... what unreasonable"

"I'd love to hear it from the thin-haired Odishans."

The meaning will be slightly different, but the hair will be important to them as well.

"Well, well, because I will continue to cut my hair. I'm just not a pro, so tolerate it to some extent, okay?

"I don't mind if you guys don't think it's weird."

"If I don't get in the way, so be it.... the whole pruning is with a nasi"

"I know. Shall we go to the land we bought and cut it? When I cut it in my room, it was hard to clean it."

Although the Hulkas cut in the inn room, they didn't have a vacuum cleaner, either, so they took a long time to clean it up. If it's outdoors, we don't need to worry about that, and if it's our own land, we don't care about people.

"Then today, let's take Nao-kun and Toya-kun's haircut and gather Kut's fruit"

Copy that.

Then when we moved the place, we got a haircut while we were exposed to the curious gaze of the carpenter, and the unavailable man put out a sperm in collecting Kut's fruit.

As Natsuki said, there were about six Kut trees growing on the land I bought, and even the expression bells bore modest fruit on that.

After we recovered them, we got many cups of Kut fruit in a large basket.
