Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

7 days after entering the abandoned pit.

We had finished exploring quite a few areas, but we hadn't found the intended sword yet.

Now Yuki is also able to map at a speed that is almost the same as walking normally, so he is also making progress in exploring, but the abandoned pit was so vast that he still hasn't been able to get around everything.

And as I dived deeper, I also encountered the undead more often.

The only demonic stones recovered so far are already slightly over 200.

Considering that all of this was forced to work, how many victims would it be?

Fortunately, however, there doesn't seem to be much to wander around, and by turning back and camping a little from the area where the undead was swept away, so far, they haven't been attacked in their sleep.

And plainly a help in exploring is Toya's simple sleeping area.

Thanks to the securing of six hours of sleep each day and to this sleeping area, not much fatigue remained the next morning, allowing for a long-term exploration.

That said, life without sunlight for seven days is a little stressful.

It wasn't a rush job, and on the eighth day, we decided to return to Raffan for a while.

◇ ◇ ◇

The morning after I got home, I took the early morning training off, all together and got up slightly slower.

Even during the exploration of the abandoned pit I was able to get a relatively comfortable sleep thanks to the simple sleeping table, but there was still a part of me that was concerned, and the cape and blanket I was using.

Therefore, I recognised once again that my home, where I can sleep in a solid futon without worrying about the raid, is good after all.

The Sleepy Bear Pavilion was also a good place to stay, but I guess my house is still calmer than the Inn.

After a slightly late breakfast, head to the Adventurer Guild to redeem the Demon Stone.

I also got two more white iron swords with the crest, so I thought I would dispose of them.

"I'm sorry. I'm having a bit of a problem..."

With a slightly troubled face, Mr. Diola bows her head to us.

Ask him, he hasn't even made any progress in the negotiations on the sword he deposited last time.

It's only been about a week, so there's nothing wrong with that... basically I guess there was something wrong with what the competent Diora said 'at all'.

"What happened?

"Actually, I'm having a bit of a problem in the town of Kerg right now..."

If you ask me in detail, it seems that the town of Kerg is in a somewhat chaotic state in relation to the Sacred Virgin Church of Satomi, and Viscount Naenas is busily killed to deal with it, in a very, but not negotiable, situation.

"Surely, if you went to negotiate in such a busy situation, you would be under a bad impression..."

"The Church of the Virgin of Satomi. Mr. Diola, is it all right if I ask you what kind of problems you have?

"Well... simply put, we're collecting too much money and the security of the town is deteriorating"

As a result of doing business like this one's idol, people suck up more money than their limits even from civilians with low disposable incomes and get lost in the streets in massive numbers.

The damage of this has not been confined to the civilian population alone, but has also led to the emergence of more than one of the aristocrats who have tended to take their place, as well as those who illegally hand in order to squeeze out the missing money.

"(Kind of like a bad emerging religion, huh?

"(or something like that)"

Should I say that type of business was a drama drug for people in this world who are not immune?

- No, that's not all.

"(Maybe it's malicious because you're abusing your skills)"

"(I knew you would. Aela is fooled too... no, I'm not sure)"

"(Sure is good, isn't it? probability)"

There is no zero likelihood of having the same type of skill, but given the time when he disappeared after deceiving Mr. Aela and the start of the activities of the Sacred Virgin Church of Satomi, he is likely to be the same person.

"But if something went wrong, shouldn't we just take down the Sacred Virgin Church of Satomi?

"That seems quite difficult. Because the Sacred Virgin Church itself is not doing anything illegal..."

"Oh... will it..."

In polar terms, the bad news is the person himself who spends his money on the Sacred Virgin Church of Satomi.

It doesn't matter if you say it doesn't concern the Sacred Virgin Church, such as how you got the money for it.

However, the problem is that some skill is being used as a means of letting that money be spent... I can't prove it there.

"But nothing can be done to that extent? Because I'm a lord."

Yes, this world is not clearly rule-of-law.

Until some point, if a king or lord says no, that's where it's decided.

It would be problematic if it were too unreasonable an object, but in this case it is to the extent of a 'ban on certain commerce'. It seems unlikely to be a problem if there is a reason......

"Normally, yes, but I have previous generations...... Civilians have a lot to do with it."

"... I see, of that abandoned pit"

Hard means are difficult to take because there is a past that was forcibly criminalized and sent to the mine, he said.

If someone still lives through that era and controls civilians on vague counts, could it cause an overreaction?

What you're doing is holy water (?) because they are just selling.

"Sounds difficult."

"Yes, because whoever got their hands on embezzlement or something, the others are just in debt or losing their homes. As a result, security has deteriorated…"

If you get lost in the streets and commit a crime, you can get caught, but that won't be a fundamental solution.

From the Sacred Virgin Church of Satomi, I can't take money from those people already, so I don't care who they are, and I'm not subject to control because the Church is not letting them commit criminal acts.

If you think about long-term earnings, do you think it would be counterproductive to narrow it down too much from believers, in which case you should move your base elsewhere, or something?

- If I smoke it up, I'll go somewhere else. Sounds like inago.

"I get it. Never mind the sword buying negotiations, because it doesn't matter until you calm down."

"Thank you. So... um... it's very hard to say..."

Mr. Diola opens his mouth more like a troubled expression than when he said, 'No buyout negotiations have been made'.

"The deputies in this town have asked us to disclose the fertilizer that Hulka and the others are selling, that method."

"... fertilizer?

Hulka twists her neck to Mr. Diola's words.

That fertilizer that I install and sell vending machines, subtly selling well, I stocked it up pretty heavily, but this time I came back, it sold nearly as close to the sky.

For once, I added some, but this time the main thing was the undead, who couldn't collect the body, so I don't have much stock left or anything.

Given its sales volume, I don't want to know or know how to make it, but from us it's close to waste disposal and the price is there, so the sales themselves aren't that big.

I don't think the deputy cares...

"Hi, it looks like the incredible effect of that fertilizer has been reported up to the deputy..."

"Do deputies even care about that?

"No, I wouldn't do this if I were normal. Because commodity secrets are important business seeds. It just didn't seem like a good time this time."

Confusion in the town of Kerg.

This is the cause.

The majority of the food in this town is imported from other towns, which are transported via the town of Kerg.

The Kerg is confused and there is no prospect that it will be resolved soon.

There will not be a complete blockage of food transport, as there is a path through Sarlstadt, and it can be transported away from Kerg, but it is nonetheless predicted that there will be a decrease in the volume of transport and soaring food.

The best way to combat this is to increase food self-sufficiency, but agricultural land cannot be increased so easily, as do those engaged in agriculture.

So what stopped my eye was the fertilizer we were selling.

If this is the case, both problems can be solved and will be effective in a short time.

Having said that for a short period of time, there may not be that much immediate effect, but there is just the fact that production is possible even if transport is blocked, which would help deter unnecessary buying and relieve anxiety.

Is it that I can't miss it as an exchanger?

"If it's meant to be, I'm about to protect it with my guild..."

"Hard this time?

"Yes, it's a disclosure request, but it's a substantive order."

"By the way, do you ever say no?

"I can, but I can't recommend much. I'm sure you'll get the price, and I was wondering if I could honestly sell you a favour."

Diola gives me that advice with a slightly troubled look on her face.

I guess that's what Mr. Diola, who knows a lot better than we do, really means.

Neither do we want to force ourselves into conflict with the powerful, and I don't care how we make that fertilizer in the first place...

"I'm going to disclose it, is that good?

"Isn't that good? If we can't sell ours, it's a hassle, but it isn't, is it?

"Agreed. But what do you think? Whether it actually helps......"

"That's right. It's not like I have a big secret."

"Really?

Mr. Diola gives him a strange look and puts on his little neck. When I do know about that effect, I wonder what secrets there are.

If you dare say so, it's a compost that can shorten time, but you should be able to substitute for that and even regular stuff.

It's simply a different ingredient, but it's a different question of whether you can get it.

"Yeah. So, after disclosing it, I said, 'It didn't help!' I don't care if they say so..."

"That's okay. The deputy is a decent man, so I don't think Mr. Hulka will bother you."

"Really? That would be nice."

"I will contact the deputies here that they have received an understanding from Mr. Hulka. I'm sure we'll call you later..."

"We're going to an abandoned pit, so hey... can you handle it right away... I plan to take a few days off from today."

"Is it a few days...... ok. We'll get back to you as soon as possible."

"Nice to meet you. Well, to a certain extent, I'll be accommodating, but you wait all the time, 'cause I can't do something like that."

"I understand. I'll hurry as much as I can, thank you."
