Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

"Well, let's shelf that up once. Besides, I've just had a subtle reaction to [the enemy]."

"The demons are dropping by again? I figured if I cut it, it would make a lot of noise, so I guess I had no choice."

Hulka sighs and Yuki also gives a raunchy look.

"It's a hassle to fight every time you knock one down. At least it's not Skull Ape, Orc would be nice. Nao, what?

"No, subtle, I told you. If I knew, I'd tell him."

Speaking of what's subtle, the speed of travel is slow first.

It is slowly approaching without changing its speed before or after logging.

The reaction is even more isolated, and as for the demons that live around here, it feels quite weak.

"Weak, more than goblins?

"No, a stronger reaction than that, huh? Especially since [Sovereign] 's reaction doesn't seem to be just simple strength."

Perhaps, the reaction to demons is proportional to the magic contained in the Demon Stone and, if you put it plainly, the selling price. In other words, items that sell higher are more responsive, and cheaper items are weaker.

Usually the stronger the demon, the higher the demon stone sells, but there is also a troublesome opponent depending on how you fight, so you can't be alarmed.

By the way, animals like Task Boer and Vape Bear and demons react differently, so we can distinguish them.

"Well solved, but a new breed, huh?... All right, let's go check it out!

"... I haven't decided to come here yet? Before we get there, there's a chance that we'll be done."

"If you come to work, you're a pain in the ass. Let's get rid of it before we wait."

Hmm, it's certainly more advantageous to preempt attacks.

I can't say there's no chance that the wood they cut will get scratched because they just don't know what it is.

"What do you think?

"I'm curious about the new demon."

"Yes. The only thing I haven't encountered lately with demons coming out of this area is Auger, but he's not that strong, is he?

Natsuki asks me, and I snort.

He's a lot stronger than an oak, Auger. If it were such a demon, it wouldn't be such a subtle reaction.

"Then it's a demon that's not in the information. Do I care too?

Do we all agree?

Then there's no way you're not going.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Aren't you a slime?

"Right? It's a mess."

"Demon Stone, you see the whole thing?

I turned to rely on [Sovereign] 's reaction. There he was, a translucent object, as if he had dropped the jelly on the floor.

However, the colour tastes like muddy water and doesn't look delicious at all.

"You get slime around here, too. It wasn't in the information..."

"How do you take them down? Actually, is it strong or something?

"Sounds proportional to the size, doesn't it? The easy thing is to destroy the Demon Stone, but then you can't take it to anything..."

"Materials, they don't seem to be there. And then?"

"Looks like we should just start with the Demon Stone. If you put too much force into it, it will crack, so use more force. Or it looks like there's some way to magically defeat it."

"That's easy."

"Well, I..."

Natsuki grabs the hand of Toya with his sword.

"Hmm?"

"No. The sword hurts. Slime melts most things."

They have the ability to dissolve and digest most objects, no matter how weak the slime, with any difference in the rate of dissolution.

With this degree of slime, it would only be to the point of no problem if washed immediately, but it would not be very nice to damage a high sword.

"At this level, the branches around it are enough."

Natsuki waved his hand axe as he said so and handily gave it to Toya when he made about a meter of stick.

"Go ahead."

"Ooh. - Hey!

As Toya gently waved the stick, the demonic stone that was in the slime flew away with the fragments of the slime.

I saw it and Yuki said, "Ah!" He raises his voice and rushes after the Demon Stone.

The lost slime of the demonic stone was pulled and trembled for a little while, but soon broke its shape, spreading with deroli over the ground.

"Toya, put too much effort into it!

"Sorry! It was softer than I thought."

Toya bows her head with pepper to Yuki's complaint, who soon picks up the little demon stone and returns.

But Toya, who strikes the only demonic stone earlier in his nails, is also amazing, but Yuki, who picks it up after him firmly, is also quite good.

Stone that size, if I roll in the woods, I'll find it, even though it's going to be hard.

"By the way, how much can you sell this demon stone for?

"The Demon Stone of Slime is pinky, isn't it? Because it depends on the magic... from what Nao-kun said earlier, it's higher than goblins - it's going to be about 300 rare?

"- Oh, the reaction of [the enemy]. Sure, I might."

Surely there was more than a goblin response in [Sovereign].

Taking that into account, it's going to be about that price.

Hearing it, Toya gives an uninterrupted look.

"Eh, don't crack the head of the goblin for that price!? That's not tearful, slime"

"It's certainly good to get demon stones without grosses. And weak."

"If we can only start the demon stone successfully, right? Toya did it easy, but it's not that easy, because it's smaller than a golf ball."

Mm, sure. If you say it only by volume, the Demon Stone, which is only about one-tenth of the golf ball, needs the ability to shake the stick, accurately hit it, and not lose sight of the more flying Demon Stone.

And in the woods. If I can afford it, it feels like I'd rather have a catcher mitt in the rear.

On top of that, even if it hits well, if you put too much effort into it and the demon stone crushes, the harvest is zero.

It must be easy because if you defeat it with magic, there will be demon stones on the spot, but there is a reality that there are not many adventurers out there who can use magic, and it might be a little subtle to say that it is a great deal of demon.

"If we had a lot of slime coming together, we could magically make a lot of money..."

"That must be hard. Because it doesn't seem to swarm much."

"In the first place, in our case, we don't even get 300 more rare now."

If you cut one tree and go home, it's 400,000 rare.

I don't have the effort to hunt slime. But...

"If you were in Sarstadt, Yuki's daily wage would be three days."

"Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. It did!" Wow, my salary, too low!? "

I say things like CM for career change services in a dismal way.

We picked him up. We were just talking about a whispering recruiter.

Well, in Yuki's case, you can say you're a successful person because you're able to transfer jobs safely and make money.

"Well, I'm not luxurious like this right now... but it's good because I can make enough money. Let's get back to work faster than that."

"Yeah, you are! There are more than a thousand slime trees growing around. You don't have time to rest."

Thousands of slime...... odd to say.

Sure, it's worth it.

"Okay! Then go back and make lots of money!

"Yes, sir."

Achieved the goal of ascertaining the identity of the new demon.

The result was just a slime, but the point of being able to confirm that is significant.

We took Yuki back to the logging site and resumed work.

◇ ◇ ◇

"I don't care. Don't hang up on me."

This is the answer Simon gave us when he asked if we cut too many trees out of the North Forest.

There seems to be little concern that it affects the woody ones.

Where we have somewhat flushed the northern timber to the market, the price difference with the southern timber is historical.

As a result, there is little likelihood that customers who have previously purchased furniture made from wood in the south will flow to furniture made from wood in the north, and the demand for wood in the south is unlikely to decrease.

Conversely, he doesn't need to consider the possibility that anyone who wants to use wood from the north was patient with wood from the south.

It's nobles and rich people who want to use Mingwood, basically looking good.

You can't use cheap items as an alternative, either you don't order more than nothing, or you make the remaining North timber pay a high price to use.

If we supply the northern timber there, even as a furniture workshop, we will be able to contract jobs that we have not been able to contract before, and as a result the economy of the entire city of Raffan will be better.

Having supplied somewhat more, it seems likely that each workshop will increase stockpiles in view of the sudden supply disruption in the past, and will not bump into the market.

We went to the woods every day to cut trees because we got ink from Mr. Simon.

...... hmm? Like every day, is that too much to say?

Since a week is six days and a third is already off as of the second day of the week, and even depending on the weather, roughly half is off.

It's a pretty relaxing job.

But in contrast, the earnings are more than enough.

I can't stop laughing because splitting the sales between five people makes more than the annual income of ordinary people in one day.

Well, that income isn't enough at all for the "annual income of the common man," given the new equipment.

There is no shortage at the moment, but we will not be able to waste it considering what lies ahead.

The season was like that, and only what time "when" was the wind blowing into the woods to feel warm.
