On the way home from the guild, I stopped by Mr. Gantz's store and it was already finished with regard to the boots.
With regard to leather armor and other protective equipment, it also seems to be in the final adjustment phase and will be completed in a few days, perhaps with new protective equipment to come for the next job.
Us wearing the boots that Mr. Ganz prompted me to "try on the boots" for now.
"Wow!? This fits awesome! It's nothing like before!?"
"This is... more than I expected."
Yuki, who quickly switched to a new boot, raises her voice as she steps.
Hulka is also nodding as he flexes and turns his ankle.
The boots we've worn so far have been the type of boots that cover a little ankle like trekking boots, but this time the braided boots that cover all the way down to the knee.
Nonetheless, there is no restraint on the ankle or the moving parts of the toe, and there is no effect of severe movements.
It's exactly one thing made just for me, and it's shaped like a beautiful wrap around my leg.
If I were to mention the difficulty, it would be a pretty troublesome place to wear just braided boots, but in case I could take them off, I would have no choice but to do this.
"He's made it from a wooden foot. Well, as soon as I grow up, I won't be able to wear it."
Come here. The race has changed, but surely, at your age, yes, yes. And the size of your legs never changes, either?
It feels like the growing season was over in my original body, but if it's an elf... no, it's probably about the same. Even if it grows any longer, it will be difficult to do the opposite.
Well, I'm buying a new pair of shoes in less than a year for this one, and is it more likely that the shoes won't work before the feet change? Especially in our case, because we walk long distances, and incongruities anyway.
"The strings are also made from Darls Bear leather. I don't think it's going to run out sooner, but I'm going to put a spare set on it."
"Thank you"
"Tell me if you have a problem. It's a life-threatening condition."
"Okay."
Say thank you again to Mr. Gantz, and we'll leave the store behind.
By the way, this boot is Darls Bear's Leather Bring in, 25 gold coins per pair.
I thought it was a pretty good price, but Natsuki said, "Even in the original world, I would do more if I had expensive leather shoes," so considering the low cost of labor and bringing in materials, maybe it would be a reasonable price.
However, if you dare to say, this leather shoe is different in that it is consumable from a leather shoe that would probably be a single organism if it were in the original world… If you think of it as a life-saving object, can you even think of it as more valuable even if it can only be used for a short period of time?
◇ ◇ ◇
Back at home and enjoying the bath for the first time in a long time, we had a neat discussion in the living room, eating the food we had stored.
This living room, initially the one with the sofa and chairs, was going to be a western living room, but that's this house full of Japanese. In a relatively short period of time, that policy was transposed.
Though the fact that the sofa and chair are there has not changed per se, the room is completely ground-footed. A carpet is laid in the center of the room to allow you to gobble freely.
In the corner of the room there is also a repository, which contains drinks, treats, snacks, etc., so that you can eat and drink without ever leaving the room.
It's a pretty comfortable space, and all of us, we're mostly gathered here in our spare time.
Especially since Natsuki and Toya can't air conditioning with their own magic, and it's troublesome for us to keep using magic alone, it also affects how efficient it is to get together and spend time.
It's getting a little hot lately, so the Hulkas are prototyping Goza.
I plan to lay it instead of a carpet once it's done.
For once, we also sell demon props for air conditioning, but if we're going to buy them, we're going to need quite a while in order production, and it's a little hassle to make our own. The current situation is not too troublesome, so it is not good, and it is left unattended.
"In the meantime, I have about three days planned for this holiday, but that's good?
"Is that about Darls Bear's armor?
"Yes. If it's not finished with that, you can either extend your holidays or you can extend your receipts..."
"Hmm, isn't that good? But what's next? After all, we're moving on to that one?
Toya refers to the area where Dungeon (presumed) Skeleton King was, the ramp that appeared there.
"Or explore the woods..."
"If you just think about making money, maybe the woods are better, right?
The undead looks almost out of stock, but the money you get from demons that come out in abandoned mines and the money you get from demons that come out around abandoned mines. Comparing demon stones alone is more than 10 times different.
Of course, the hand strength is completely different, but from our current arms, there are parts of the demon in the abandoned mine that are too null, so I'm a little concerned about making that the main target.
Maybe you can't even expect it in terms of experience.
According to previous verifications, this forecast is probably definite, as the experience gained if normally fought is under the impression that it is almost proportional to the purchase price of the Demon Stone.
The important thing here is to say, 'Even in a proportional relationship, experience is not constant'.
Hard to understand?
For example, when level 10 is reached, "Demon Stone gets 100 EXP from 100 rare enemies" and "1,000 EXP from 1,000 rare enemies", and when level 20 is reached, it feels like "Demon Stone gets 10 EXP from 100 rare enemies" and "100 EXP from 1,000 rare enemies".
In other words, the experience gained from Demon Stone prices is predictable, but in the case of enemies who are too weak, experience will not be gained.
Maybe even if we kill crisp goblins with magic right now... it's about 'practiced magic' experience.
"But it's hot in the woods..."
It was Toya who expressed dissatisfaction with my opinion.
The time of this return was before noon, and should have been off the hottest hour, but still, when we fought, we were at temperatures as hot as sweat flowed today.
Given that temperatures are on the rise for some time to come, I understand that Toya would like to avoid the forest, and I agree.
"You're a little worried there... But diving into a dungeon... I also feel like I should know more about dungeons and demons."
"I do want a book about the dungeon, and a book about the demons we've been talking about for a long time."
"If it's a lot of books, it would be Kerg... but it's not a good idea to go now, and the town beyond is hard"
The town ahead of Kerg is called Pinning, and it is the capital of Viscount Nenas.
Naturally, it's the biggest town around here, and there's probably a wide variety of books you can buy, but you should think a little bit about whether you should avoid Kerg and go for that town.
I don't know to what extent the Kerg mess is, but I can't deny the possibility of being alarmed just by saying that it came from that side.
Ms. Diola asked, "Do we negotiate with Viscount Nenas ourselves? He said," If I had that letter of introduction, things might go smoothly, but on the contrary, the hassle of 'negotiating with nobles' increases.
You should consider it well, including if you should go pinning.
"For one thing, as I look in this town bookstore... do you want to go to Sarlstadt too?
"Over there. Digging, there's something to expect."
Because this is where I got the magic book of space-time magic for cheap.
"It's getting hot, and it's a little different than heat protection...... but how about going both leisure and fishing? instead of vacation."
"Fishing and waterboarding...... good!
"I didn't say waterboarding...... well, yeah"
There is absolutely no reason to disagree with that proposal by Natsuki, and the holidays in this town are shortened to one day.
The appointment to go out the day after tomorrow was passed lightly.
"Speaking of which, don't you have to report to the guild about the dungeon? That's pretty much a dungeon, isn't it?
We'll look each other in the face at Toya's words as I recall.
"Is it a report? You didn't say," I need to report it, "when you register."
"You've hardly been briefed on the dungeon either. Maybe it's because it's nowhere near here."
The explanation I received from Diola about adventurers is basically about rank.
Actually, isn't the dungeon that important?
"But wasn't we talking about needing rank to get into the dungeon?
"Right, you're above Rank 4. In dungeons managed by the Alliance, though."
"I mean, I'm free to let you in if you're out of control...?
Match my words, face to face, but no one can answer, only twist my neck.
There is no way that the unknowledgeable can be gendered where they gather together.
It is useless to argue only.
"For once, the next time you go to the guild, tell Mr. Diola a word. If you have to, you'll tell me everything then."
In the end, that's what it is.
◇ ◇ ◇
Free movement the next day.
Toya and Hulka, Natsuki went to the bookstore, Yuki went to buy food, so I went alone, to the temple.
Throw in charin and big silver coins as usual and ask for experience.
- Um, one level up?
I have not killed any very strong enemies, but the number was quite high, so is it because of that?
"Thank you for everything"
Now go home, and I was just looking back at the beautiful priest I see so often in this temple.
Someone who greets Nico lovingly because of my frequent visits and every time, I put in clothes.
"I've seen you a lot lately."
"Ha ha... because I also believe that it is with the protection of Lord Advastris that I can live safely"
Pretty serious.
If I didn't have the skills or level up, I'd probably be dead soon.
Without them, we wouldn't have gone on to work as day labourers, probably dying about middle-aged?
But as a cleric, he raised his voice with his eyes round, wondering if it was surprising that I was serious about that, like an adventurer.
"Well! Your faith heart will surely reach God"
"Uh, I'm afraid?
Faith is that much - no, I believe in God himself, but I have no idea about doctrine, so it's kind of hard for people to say faith or anything.
What I want is the benefit of this world.
So I had a Japanese ambiguous grin and planned to fade out as it was......
Why am I in an orphanage behind a temple?
No, never, I was distracted by the grasping of my arm, the soft feeling I could feel there, held in gassilli by Mr. Sister.
Look, if you can't pull it out, it could hurt Mr. Sister, right?
Thanks to my work out, I'm pretty strong, too, huh?
- Yeah, I lied a little bit.
He was a beautiful Mr. Sister, so I can't deny that he followed me.
If this was a man cleric, I'd think he'd normally be home.
It's just, well, it's not a lie that I was a little interested in the orphanage. Because I think it will be a barometer that measures the state of security and governance.
Seems so bad here, I'm anxious to settle...
"Is this the orphanage...? How many children do you have?
"There are 23 of us now."
The guided orphanage is for about two slightly larger detached houses in Japan.
It would be bigger than my two houses, but surely narrower than Natsuki's.
By garden, or athletic field, the land that comes with the building is quite large, so it seems like enough to run around and play, but the room seems small.
Although the building itself is somewhat in season, it does not appear to be fatally damaged from the outside.
There's a lot of room for management, is there?
"What's the funding here?
"It's the money the lord gives us and the care you give us. So I'm trying to do something about it..."
There's not much room, he said.
Although many of the buildings that have been prompted to enter can be seen quite ancient and have been repaired, is it not bad considering that repairs have been carried out?
"Shinkanshama ~!"
As I walked through the orphanage as I was guided, a little girl ran over from across the hallway and said, "I was there," and she noticed what I was like and braked in a hurry.
"... right?
A toddler girl who looks up at me and puts her neck up.
The clothes are a little dull, slightly skinny, but quite adorable.
"This is... you're the one who's donating, right?
The clergyman who tried to introduce me...... no, the clergyman? says, after a little silence, like that.
I mean, why did they bring me here?
Maybe you want a donation... because you thought you were faithful?
If you looked at the current situation in the orphanage, would a person of faith give you money?
"Oh. Thank you very much."
A girl with tongueless, polite words and a peppery head down.
When I accidentally looked at the clergyman, I was sooo distracted from my gaze.
No, if they show me this, I'd rather give money, than be asked to donate weirdly by an adult, but come on.
... not bruised?
You felt that way about me, Chief Cleric, as he panicked, calling out to the girl, not gazing at me.
"So, Remy, what the hell is going on?
"Oh, it was! Brother Koro and Brother Jay are having a rough time!
"Well, well, you shouldn't!
'You shouldn't,' he said, without looking too hasty, and the chief cleric took Remy's hand and went to the back of the orphanage.
For a moment, I thought I'd keep turning my heels back and go home, but that's also difficult because Remy walks away with a flickering look back at this one.
The child's gaze is cowardly.
I gave up and followed, and the one who arrived was the dining room?
In the spacious room, two boys, about seven or eight years old, roll over the floor as they make a combination.
A child who sees it far away, a child who plays in the corner of the room without my involvement, rather a child who stands up as if to incite.
Boys, girls disturbed, many children gathered in the room.
The child who had just stood up noticed the appearance of the clergyman and said, 'Yabeh!' And he hastily moaned, but the two who were working together did not realize, and they are still engaged.
No, even if I say we're in a fight, it doesn't look like a very serious fight, either way it looks close to each other.
To those two, Mr. Cleric's thunder falls.
"Here!!
"" -! Yabe! Run! "
What have we been working on so far?
The two men, who uttered the same words as if they were hammered, separated from each other and fled to the back of Statata and the orphanage.
"Ugh, those two... Sorry to disturb you."
"Oh, no. When you're a kid of that age, it would be like that. I think you're doing well, don't you?
At least, because you have the energy to make a combination.
However, the meal doesn't seem to be very luxurious, and I can see you struggling with your clothes, so if you are too well and your clothes are torn, I don't think you will have any trouble as a clergyman taking care of you.
Especially in this world, because the worse you do, the more expensive you become an asset.
I don't know what casual old clothes would be worth in Japan to the extent that they are sold and bought per weight.
"Oh, I'm late for my offer. I am the chief cleric in this temple, my name is Ishka."
"I am Nao, an adventurer based in this town"
"Mr. Nao, right? Go ahead, go back."
After I left the dining room, I was guided to the bedrooms of the orphans.
I was guided without going home because, of course, I was interested in an orphanage.
Once again, firmly, my arm gripped by Mr. Ishka, has absolutely nothing to do with it.
2 bunk beds in a room of about 6 tatami. Seems like a room for 6 people. That's six rooms.
I only use 4 rooms now, but they used to not get into this room and used to use one bed for two.
Fortunately, since Ishka became in charge of this orphanage, I'm just saying that there's nothing like all the beds being filled...
"Are orphans all over town here?
"At least we can gather the orphans we know of here."
Our neighborhood once hit an insecure area in Raffan, but we've never seen a street childrens orphan before.
There is no slam, and even if I say insecurity, there is a risk that someone with somewhat poor patterns (mainly adventurers) will just walk and be suddenly attacked - well, not to mention us now.
Most people in this town are firmly in the "Kagi" profession, and I guess the ranked adventurer who has children is almost zero in this town, with the assumption that it's hard to have an orphan.
"Thanks to you, this town is pretty critical, but it's still not easy. I wish you and these children had more protection."
With that said, I don't speak clearly, Mr. Ishka, who looks at me still.
And look equally still behind it Remy + alpha.
Yeah, guess what, you mean? I understand.
But 'shelter', hey.
I've come here to believe in God's reality, but I still don't believe in the framework of people's religion, and I don't intend to believe in it in the future.
But I got the 'benefit'. of increased EXP.
I don't really feel it, but I just don't think God will tell a lie...... No, I want to believe it.
When I was "first logged in," God had this orphanage thing too, a bit of an atmosphere that I cared about... should I give it some?
"Really... there's not much I can do but just feel"
Saying so, I gently handed Mr. Ishka five gold coins.
I can't say a lot of money, but it would be somewhat of an addition.
But the amount I gave you seemed more than I thought it would be for Mr. Ishka.
When I opened my eyes slightly, I smiled softer than ever, bowing my head deeply.
"Thank you. Let me take care of your feelings."
Uh, if you think of it as an adventurer based in this town, is five gold coins big enough?
But if it's for the orphans here, isn't this much of a donation in itself to spare?
If I'm going to continue to be an adventurer, maybe my kid won't have a zero chance of taking care of me here.
- I don't have any plans to get married!
"If I get a chance, I'll drop by again. … I have trouble expecting much"
"Of course it is. If you could spare a little of your time and divide it between those kids, that would be enough."
That said, lovely child and beautiful clergyman.
When I can come in a combo, I'm going to be a little forced to donate and suck.
Especially if you get along poorly with the kids.
Yeah, let's retreat early.
I'll tell Mr. Ishka I'm free to leave the room.
And Remy, who was stuck with the chief cleric, waved 'blah, blah, blah, blah,' and I left the orphanage behind.
- Well, I'm sure you'll be involved in the future.
Because we cannot distance ourselves from the Temple of Lord Advastris more than there is a 'level' thing.
