We resumed our normal work the next day, and whatever it was, we were here to confirm the dungeons that had become ours.

Confirm...?

Isn't it a little different?

I've been here many times, and I might be right to claim ownership.

The purpose is to install signs.

I've never seen anyone in this dungeon, but I got it because of it, so I should make a clear claim here.

"Is the place good around here?

"Right. It's out there. You can't go through the 'I didn't get it in my eye'."

Mostly Toya works hard, strikes a pile next to the dungeon inlet and strikes a sign.

Put briefly what it says there: 'No entry here, and because the six kilometres radius is private property. There is no guarantee of life for trespassers' content.

Just because someone came into the surrounding woods, I'm not going to attack you all of a sudden, but for once, we're in a position to admit it now.

Well, I think it would be a little harsh in public if we weren't surrounded by a fence or something, at least to show private land.

"After that, put a fence at the entrance and you're done."

"Yes, they don't know much about it, so I'm sure it's okay."

When I say fence, it's like an average platform, and there's just a board hanging there that says no entry.

In other words, it is like a barricade in a construction site.

It's easy to cross if you intend to, but at least you can only prevent it from breaking in by mistake, and if you did, you don't have to hesitate to attack us as well.

"Well, long time no see, Dungeon Attack, let's get started!

"That said, I rehabbed in the meat area for a few days, meat collection, but hey"

"Mary and Meatier checked their arms together,"

"I'll do my best!

"Work hard!

To Hulka's words, Mary and Meetier hold both hands and put in a mood.

As for the plans, as Yuki said, for a few days or so the meat area - hunting demons that become meat in the six, seven, and eight layers of the dungeon and wholesale them to the guild and Aela's, this meant a quick cash income and more meat supply to Raffan, as well as confirming the condition of the Marys who were parting with us in the training of the lead soldiers in the pinning.

If this does not seem to be a problem, we plan to take Mary and the others to collect the fruits and nuts after the eleventh layer and challenge them to the boss of the twentieth layer.

Sometimes it's cooler in season, and it was a little debated whether to move on to the dungeon or kill demons around here to make money, but the conclusion was that the dungeon was chosen unanimously.

Profits from the sale of milk were also significant, but the deciding factor was the fruit.

Since it's been over a month since the last harvest, isn't it time for the next one to be eaten? There was no one to disagree with Yuki.

Of course that's the same for me.

There are tons of dindles, but that's it, this is this.

It's impossible to miss an edible fruit, isn't it?

◇ ◇ ◇

Training in the pinning was not in vain, apparently, so that the demons that emerged in the meat area, and if they were one-on-one, could be defeated dangerously by both Mary and Meatier.

Big Ostrich was the only one who got a little harrassed, but that would be the point because the two of us were working together and killing him properly.

Most importantly, Mary and the others can confront each other one-on-one without worrying about any other demonic intrusion, because we follow them around.

So even if I'm wrong, it's not at the level where just the two of us can be adventurers...

"Duh, what do you think?

"Me, I did my best!

I look up at the two faces a little anxious, and we look at each other and nod.

"Yeah, isn't that okay? This one."

"Yes. Isn't Mary comparable to Yuki if it's just power?

"Uh, is that right? - Hey, I don't think so."

"No, you're not perfect"

I'm gently wielding a one-handed sword.

Now it's time for Yuki to be taller and manage to cover the difference in power due to race differences, depending on his physique, but the smallest of us - no, even from the average of high school students, he's a small Yuki.

Considering the age difference, if Mary keeps growing well, she's likely to overtake Yuki in the near future.

Because there are levels in this world, arm strength and physique are simply not proportional, but given the difference in arm power between us and Toya, we can see that race difference is outrageous.

Well, I mean, it's almost certain that Yuki will lose to Mary, and possibly Meatier, with her arm strength in the near future.

"Fine, fine. I'm better at technology! You can't beat me! Mary!"

"Yes, no! I haven't."

"Here, Yuki, what are you gonna do by sticking with Mary? I know you're in a position to lead."

Consider the difference in skill levels.

Besides, Yuki has a [skill copy], so it's almost impossible for Mary to beat Yuki with her overall strength.

At least not as long as you're acting with us.

"I agree with you that Mary and I don't have a problem. The avant-garde won't be a problem, but as a support."

"The avant-garde has me and Natsuki. You'll be fine if you base it on" we can handle it without you. "

"So you're taking the two of us forward, so you decide?

"Right."

"Thank you!

"Thank you!

Mary smiling and bowing her head, and Meetie bouncing with joy.

Well, if this doesn't work, we're going to be practicing voluntarily at home for a while, and as for the two of us, maybe it was pretty exciting.

"Well, once we collect some more meat, we'll go home, get ready, and then we'll move on."

"" Yes!

With the confirmation of the status quo of the Marys, after that, we also took an active part in the fight, with the momentum to hunt down the meat area demons - no, we hunted down virtually entirely and recovered the meat.

He also processed the boss who had been resurrected and temporarily returned to Raffan.

And some of the collected meat was wholesaled to Mr. Aela and the Adventurer's Guild, and the meat, which could not be sold very high, was hand-sourced to an orphanage, but Rafan's orphanage remained unchanged and peaceful today.

It's a sight to say it's nothing, but if you think of the sense of training that was felt right after the conflict at the Kerg orphanage, and the Baron Diaz territory where there wasn't even an orphanage, it's rather the lack of this change that makes you feel precious.

"Ah, Mr. Nao! Good morning."

Kane, a cleric apprentice, was the first to speak to us when we visited the orphanage.

"Good morning. Do you have a chief cleric?

"Yes, please wait a moment"

When I returned my greeting, Kane immediately went inside the orphanage.

Although we've visited the orphanage several times, the truth is that we haven't had much opportunity to talk to the caregivers Kanes.

For this reason, although I have received an introduction from Mr. Ishka, the relationship is at best facial familiarity.

I couldn't say I was very close, but the other day, in relation to me and Hulka's request for a grasshopper, I felt that Kane and Sydney, who were the rates at that time, had some time to converse and just got a little closer.

In a way, for the first time in this world, a friend of my generation... no, is it too early to say a friend? Candidate for friends, is.

Come to think of it, there's almost zero acquaintances of my generation in this world. Except my ex-class mate.

And there's Saira, an assistant cleric, and Ange, an Orthodox cleric, but that's all.

The same generation - no, Mr. Aela, who looks rather younger, is actually older too.

I guess it also has to do with the extent to which our scope of action relates to work, but where do young people our age work...? Other than adventurers.

"What's wrong, Nao? Sounds like you're thinking of something."

"No, we don't have a lot of friends our age," he said.

"Well, you are. There's Tommy and stuff, but Mr. Gantz and Mr. Simon, and Sazius and stuff, they're pretty old."

Toya snorts at my words, as convinced.

Is Mr. Simon's workshop or something like that just about us?

I don't really have a chance to get involved because Simon handles it when ordering.

"Right?"

"But what's wrong with that?

Yuki asks me that again, and I get a little lost in responding.

"I'm not even wacky that something's wrong... should I make friends for a little while, or something?

To my answer, Yuki nods, puts on her neck and says something fundamental.

"But? Nao didn't have that many friends originally?

"Gu Hu!"

Well, he wasn't the kind of person you could be proud of if you had many friends!

"Oh, I'm sorry. That was a bad way to put it. About us, isn't it normal that we don't have a lot of friends our age outside of school?

"Right. If you're studying or something, you may get to know each other there, but you spend most of your time in school, and it's normal to play with friends in that relationship on holidays."

I'm glad you followed me, but I didn't have that many friends at school, so you can't heal my wounds, can you?

That's pretty much what I would have done if I knew someone at a level I would normally converse with, but someone I would play with outside of school...... that's only a few.

I was, well, there were Toya and Hulka, so I didn't miss her!
