"Well, from today on we're going to work, but the Marys are leaving a message, okay?

"Yes!"

The day after the welcoming party, Mary replies well to Hulka, who asked.

"It could be months in a long time,"

"Of course - that? Are adventurers leaving their homes that long?

Mary nodded naturally, but wondered at the unexpected information contained in Yuki's words.

"Not in some cases. I've been stuck in a dungeon for about a month now."

"Trapped...? Dungeons...... 1 month......?

To the further information given additionally, Mary comes confusion.

Sometimes it's unfamiliar to say dungeons in this neighborhood, but I guess it's hard to imagine a situation where you'll be trapped for a month.

In fact, we would have died without prep and a magic bag.

"That's what happens, right? An adventurer.... Ah, becoming an adventurer, don't you like it?

"You mean you don't like it... I can't imagine"

"Oh well. Yeah, well, that's it."

Yuki arms up and nods at Mary with a slightly bewildered look on her face.

In fact, I wouldn't even feel it if I didn't experience it, and now it's like that?

"Well, that's not true, so I'm going to be back in about a week."

"Something's wrong with not going as planned."

Toya mixes up Yuki's words to reassure him.

Hulka slapped Pessili on the head of such Toya and followed him further.

"If anything goes wrong, talk to Tommy, the blacksmith who was at yesterday's welcoming party, or Diola, the Adventurer Guild. 'Cause I don't think they're going to make me evil."

"Okay."

"This is the living fund. I put more in it, but you're also gonna use it to think about the possibility that we won't be back for a long time?

"Yes."

Mary receives the sachet given to her by Hulka as if she were a little nervous.

For once, I have about 100 gold coins in that, so if I don't luxury it for the time being - if Mary and I are going to have the same level of living as we used to, we will be able to live on a yearly basis.

I don't need rent.

- Honestly, leaving only 9- and 7-year-olds to vacate their homes for days, etc., is surely a parenting abandonment "neglect" in Japan.

But Mary seems to have been doing her own chores even when her father was around, and this common sense doesn't make it so strange.

Some kids go out to work even when they're about 9 years old, rather, they might be pretty good for giving away enough money.

"I don't think thieves will come that way... but if they do, keep the door tight and stay in the house. Maybe because it's safer than running poorly."

"Yes."

It's almost a lethal trap. It's a setup.

There will be no such thing as fucking mud that you can come in avoiding this.

"If necessary, the potion kind is free to use. You remember where I left it, right?

"Yes."

"While we're gone, if you take care of the garden to some extent, you can spend as much time as you want. And then..."

Mary smiles bitterly at Hulka when she says her meticulous attention.

"Um, it's okay. Go with confidence."

"Really? Are you okay?

Hulka, it's an out-of-the-box concern.

"Yes, I'm not a little kid."

That's Mary with her chest stretched and Don and her chest slapped, but from us, she's a little kid, no matter how she sees it.

Considering your age, I'm pretty sure you're pretty solid though.

"Ma, Hulka. Let's trust you there, huh? Even Meatier can help your sister, right?

"Of course it is!

When Toya said that as she gritted Meatier's head, Meatier nodded, too, and with a good reply, gripping both hands.

Seeing that still seems a little anxious Hulka and us smiling a little bitterly at such Hulka.

You noticed that gaze, Hulka dyes her cheeks a little red.

"Wow, I get it. Shall we go?"

"" There you go (are)!

Two healthy voices dropped us off, and we haven't been out to work in a long time.

◇ ◇ ◇

This job is a challenge to the third tier of the dungeon.

As an example, Lafan's Adventurer Alliance has no good job and is a choice that expects the coolness of the dungeon.

Perhaps, as a earner, it's subtle, but much better than getting sweaty and walking around the back of the woods.

And for another purpose, to try the 'transfer point'.

From the last lesson, I - and Yuki worked pretty hard to practice space-time magic, too.

As a result, "Area Teleportation" can be used quite a bit, but there is a bit of anxiety in terms of distance and transfer volume.

Setting up a transfer point makes it somewhat easier, but if it's still a transfer for everyone at the party, whether it reaches one kilometer or not. So my magic is almost depleted.

It's a racial problem, and she's a little inferior to me in terms of magic, but she's also available to some extent.

Even if it doesn't have to be the same level as me, if Yuki can take one person to transfer, the number of people I will transfer will be drastically reduced from five to three, and even if that's not possible, Yuki herself will move in the Transfer Teleportation, the burden will be lighter.

This would allow me to move more than a kilometer, but to check the map, it would be impossible to move from anywhere in the dungeon to the entrance.

What is realistic is that we will install a transfer point over a place where the hierarchy is likely to change, or about a shortcut of a place that is likely to be a roundabout, so that we can come back even with a collapse like the last one?

With a metastasis point, you can safely metastasize.

Without this, on the contrary, it is quite dangerous to transfer far away.

There is some corrective function in the magic itself, and when it is transferred, dangerous places appear in the form of failure of metastasis, but to a very high degree, if it is very unlucky, things like 'being in stone' can also happen?

According to the Magic Book of Time and Space.

So many beginners, and unless you're so unlucky, it seems almost impossible, but quite scary.

Given that, the installation of transfer points would still be mandatory.

By the way, there are 5 magic props for this transfer point I made.

Because Yuki and I use it in common, we have registered two magic powers, but this is like a beacon, so sometimes I have the disadvantage of saying that if I don't replace the demon stone, I won't be able to use it.

I'm probably supposed to keep it for about a year, but after that, it's going to be totally useless - not really. If you replace the demon stone, it will naturally come back to life, and even when the so-called "so-called" battery is dead, it will be somewhat of an aid, so it is never in vain.

One has been installed at home, and the last three are to be installed on the entrance to the dungeon and on the ramp that collapsed last time, and on the stairs leading to the third floor, so there will be one spare.

For once, I plan to install a staircase to four floors there, but I don't know if I can get that far this time.

I don't even know if there are 4 layers in the first place.

"When it's hot like this, transfer me to the entrance to the dungeon - I'd love to say something like that"

"Toya, don't be impotent. I won't be able to move, and it's too far away in the first place."

Though my heart agrees with Toya, who speaks such stupidity while heading to the dungeon, I deny it with my mouth.

Even if I had only one "transfer", "teleportation", and the condition that a transfer point has been set up, I probably won't succeed.

"Besides, hunting on the road is important, right?

"You support our income and food plainly, don't you?"

I had a fair amount of meat stocked up on my magic bag, but I can't say luxury because I was out pinning, locked up in a dungeon for a period of time, and even more recently I haven't killed a lot of oak.

Sometimes, lately, Aela has a mix of different kinds of meat to wholesale, other than task-bore and oak, but that seems to be an out-of-the-box favorite.

Basically, the meat seems to be used at lunch with the meat posté we sell in the early morning, but I can't get tired of eating all kinds of meat, and that seems good.

Of course, it is only with Aela's arm that any meat is delicious to cook.

"By the way, is there any chance you could possibly travel from house to dungeon?

"Uh-huh, when the level is about twice what it is now, it could be possible."

"So you can't do it on a yearly basis?

"I haven't really leveled up lately."

Me going to the temple like a habit, but sometimes I haven't fought very strong demons lately, or my level's slowing down.

I train and mock fights, so I got to 20 at once... 40 would be a pretty far story.

Luckily, life expectancy is long, so it wouldn't be impossible if we kept the adventurer in the serious...... if the Natsukis retired, maybe me and Hulka would retire too.

"You can't help what you can't. Look, Toya. Here comes the meat quickly. I need you to collect it."

"Raj."

Toya gently responds and pulls out her sword and heads to handle the oak.

If you think about it, we've grown quite a bit too.

Because I'm no longer nervous about the oak.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Now, where do we install the transfer points…"

He appropriately killed the demon while coming, the dungeon entrance.

Me and Yuki were walking around the neighborhood looking for a place to put the transfer point we took out of the magic bag.

I leave my stuff in the middle of an empty room unwrought, but that's not why I'm here.

The size of the transfer point itself is plate-shaped about 50 cm across and 3 cm thick.

I'm fine with the extent to which I step on it, but if I tap a weapon or hit it with a stone, it usually breaks.

You can't put it where it's bad considering the demons roam, and if it's not somewhat of a flat spot, it can get out of balance and get hurt when it's metastasized.

"Uh-huh, do you want to bury it? If you bury it in this heap, cement it with dirt magic, and then lightly soil it, it's safe, and it doesn't look natural?

That being said, what Yuki showed was a slightly wider square in front of the entrance to the dungeon.

It was previously a place where skeletons and others used to tumble.

The transfer point itself does not need to be on the ground separately, so say yes.

... No, a pretty good idea?

"Right, will you? It's not a good place."

"I'd have trouble getting it broken, but if they moved me to a weird place, it'd be deadly. If you get poisoned in the river, you could drown as soon as you transfer."

"Right."

Quickly dig about 50 cm into the centre of the square and install a transfer point at its bottom. Cover the soil and solidify it firmly with soil magic. If you put more dirt on top of it...

"Can't you figure it out in a few days?"

"It's summer, hey. Wouldn't it grow grass in a week?

Now I can see the traces I dug back, but no one will come to this place sooner, and I won't have to worry about being dug up.

"Done?

"Oh. You kept me waiting. Come on in."

The Hulkas were waiting in the sunless dungeons, but they seemed to come out to see our work done.

"It's just a little hot to work on."

Yuki wipes her sweat while she drinks the cold tea out of her magic bag and gives it to me too.

I picked it up and drank it while moving into a sunless dungeon.

"It's better yet because I'm using magic."

I worked with both drilling holes and filling them using the soil operated "Grand Control," but it's hot enough just to get in the sun.

In the woods, the sun is somewhat blocked by the trees, but before the dungeon it was a square, so it was completely exposed to direct sunlight.

"Okay, the destination is a ramp to two levels. Let's go crispy."

"Right. One layer doesn't get very good demons."

We follow Toya, who started his journey on a small run, to a small room with a ramp to two floors.

Because I hadn't been here in a while, or most of the demons were growing, but ignoring and pushing things I could ignore, I arrived after noon earlier than I expected.

A peek into the slopes that were blocked by the collapse showed no sign of a collapse there.

"... that's the dungeon, I guess I should say"

"Will this get blocked again when I get down there?

"What do you think? I'm not sure how much the dungeon costs to operate, but normally, it's going to cost a lot, isn't it?

Assuming the dungeon is operated with magic, dungeon points, or something like that, Natsuki is right, this way, no trap? is likely to be classified as a necessary gimmick of maintenance costs.

Moreover, if it is a mechanism whereby every time a party goes down to two layers, it works and goes back to normal by going outside, the party that can break in at a time will be limited to one party, and it seems inefficient.

"… first, do you want to set up a transfer point"

"Right. With that, you'll be back soon."

It's not that far from the bottom of the hill to this room, so even if I use Area Teleportation alone, I won't be able to move.

"So you dig a hole. It's a little troublesome though."

"Magic, it's hard to work."

That should be called a dungeon, or about the surface, it doesn't have much effect, but if you try to manipulate it with soil manipulation "Grand Control" deep down, you increase your magic consumption at once.

Dungeonally, "Dig the Wall and Shortcut" may be a problem, but it is a little troublesome.

I don't have a problem digging it by hand, except for the shallow areas on the ground and walls of the dungeon, which is like a pretty hard rock bed, so that's pretty hard.

Well, if it's a little bit, magic or arm power, I can handle it with my strength.

In cooperation with Yuki, holes and holes are emptied in the size where critical transfer points enter and installed on the bottom.

Add the excavated soil and consolidate.

"... yeah, you're working fine"

I was a little anxious that it would be ok to fill it within the dungeon, but the transfer point gave me a decent response.

Me and Yuki looked at each other and breathed ho, urging the Hulkas we had been waiting for, we all walked to two levels.
