"All right, HP hypothesis, we've got a number of requests."

"Thank you. Bring it to you."

"Okay."

The day after this month's action was scheduled, Yuki and I revisited each of Forestania's guilds for a brief help quest.

In my case, Gunner Guild becomes Alchemy Guild, then Formula Guild.

Gunner Guild and Alchemy Guild didn't have any special help quests, so I'm in the process of taking a conditioning quest with a conditioning guild.

"... Yes, quality is fine too. That concludes the work."

"That's good. I was worried about the quality."

"That's okay. That conditioning set is pretty rattled, so it won't be of the highest quality..."

"Is that okay?

"... just don't get the highest quality, it's just right to make potions to wholesale in the store"

"... well, if that's what you say, I don't really stick around"

I should have said I did use it and felt uncomfortable, but you didn't just say it wasn't what I usually use, reason.

"Anyway, this is the end of the work. Please bring this one to the reception. You will receive the prescribed request fee."

"Yes.... By the way, I'm not very familiar with Forestania, is there anything unusual or interesting about it?

"Is it an unusual or interesting place?... Few places in Forestania have said that. More than that, there will be almost none. It is a country that continues on a millennial basis, but there are few that can be called historically important heritage, and there are no tourist attractions, as we do not deal with many tourists, etc. Either it's a closed country, Forestania."

"Right...... No, that's fine. Thanks."

"No. Thank you for clearing up the work that was accumulating this way. Please come back when you get the chance."

"Okay. Bye."

Receive a requisition form bearing the mark of completion of the requisition and return to the reception.

I asked a similar question earlier while I had the procedure for completing the request at the reception, but the results were the same.

It seems that Forestania itself does not invest in tourism or anything as a country.

When that happens, there will be very little place for you to look around.

After confirming the request, Yuki and I will rendezvous when we receive the request fee.

Use Transfer Gate Square as a meeting point to rendezvous with Yuki.

Transfer Gate Square, where Wang Du and Zipan have quite a few players, but there are extremely few people in Transfer Gate Square in this country.

I also hear that not many players have been able to enter this country, and I guess it is not used much as a meeting place.

... In fact, Gunner Guilds and Alchemy Guilds were also the main services that seemed to be intended for residents of Forestania.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Twa.... in the middle of something?

Yuki came to me thinking.

Looks like Yuki's been doing his quest in the culinary guild, too.

"Oh, Yuki? Thoughts, I thought there were a few players."

"Speaking of which, right? There were quite a few other players in Mana Reef, but you don't see them in this country at all."

"Well, that's the thing.... All I was told was that there was almost nothing to talk about this one, but did Yuki have any gains?

"Um, I wonder if I have any gains, too. There are no special places like tourist attractions. I don't know what to do, Twa."

"Well, do you want to walk the city appropriately"

"Yeah, I get it. Let's go."

Even Yuki and I will follow the transfer gate square.

I walk out of Transition Gate Square onto the boulevard and towards the market side of Forestania, but I don't see anything dizzying about this.

Although the market sells a variety of items mainly based on ingredients, this does not seem to be a rare item.

In fact, Yuki's trying to get to the next place like she lost interest when she saw it all the way through.

From my eyes, there is no crop that I can call a specialty, and I'm guessing Yuki, who usually deals with ingredients, is even more so.

"What do you say, Yuki? Was there anything unusual?

"Yeah, I wonder if there's anything in particular. Ingredient items are also likely to be bought in other countries..."

"Sounds like it. Well, then where did it go?"

I don't know what to say, but you really don't have anywhere to go.

Even though it's rarer to suddenly come into contact with a special resident (NPC) like Zipan, I wonder what's wrong with nothing so far.

Well, I wonder what's going on.

"... oh, you two. Is there a problem?

When worried about future plans, residents spoke up.

"Yeah?... Yeah, I was wondering if there was any place interesting."

"Interesting place.... you two, if you're not from Forestania, do you see any?

"Oh, we're Gentiles."

"I see. Then I'm satisfied with the question. Forestania is closed and not a tourist destination, for better or worse. I'm also convinced to say there's no place to walk."

"... well, that's what I'm saying. Don't you know somewhere interesting or something?

"Hmm, okay. So you spoke from here. Let me show you to a market where only local people go. I'm Leaf. What about you guys?

"I'm Twa. So this is Yuki."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Reef"

"Oh, do me a favor. This way, then. Follow me."

Follow the guidance of the woman named Leaf and follow.

Leaf takes off the boulevard and into a side trail, swimming through a residential neighborhood.

"... Is this a residential neighborhood? Every place is full of wooden buildings."

"Forestania is rich in wood. It's easier to build a house with just wood than cut out stone."

"That's right.... but it's going to be tough if there's a fire or something with all these houses lined up."

"Fire. True, wood is vulnerable to fire. However, wood used as a building material in Forestania is specially processed. It's not going to burn easily. I wonder if there's ever going to be a fire."

"Right. By the way, can you learn that technology?

"Well, are you interested? There won't be anything you can't learn, but I don't think that makes much sense. Techniques are used that do not work unless they are large enough to be used for building wood. It looks like we're still doing research day and night, but there are no reports that effective results have been achieved with equipment sizes that humans wear."

"Really? If we do, we can't help it."

"Before that, it's also a question of whether there's a basement to learn. I'm talking about having to be familiar with witchcraft and alchemy as well as my knowledge of plants. There won't be anything you can't learn, but whether it's useful to fulfill it"

Um, you can handle witchcraft and alchemy, but you don't have any knowledge of plants.

I feel like some kind of flag, but should I touch it lightly here?

"Witchcraft and alchemy have more than some strength. Is it hard without the knowledge of plants?

"That would be difficult. In the first place, I don't know if learning this technology will help the Gentiles. Without the magnitude of the building material level, this technology will not work. It just makes it harder to burn, so the intensity doesn't change. If you're thinking of using it for armor or shields, give it up."

"... I knew I couldn't"

"You can't. Instead, you think Forestania hasn't tried that?

"Right. No, forget it."

"No, no, the mindset of trying to get to the unknown is very preferable. Well, I'm just saying it was off target this time."

"It would help if you could say that. So, the market and they're in a residential area like this?

"That's right. It's the kind of place that sells crops that only local humans handle. Isn't it also convincing to set up a place within a residential area?

Is it like a supermarket in real life?

Normally, a market set up in a big city sells everything like a department store.

I guess that's what it'll look like as a comparison object.

"... Turn right here. Here we go, here we go."

"... Sure, there's a market in the middle of a residential area"

"That's full of ingredients I've never seen before."

"If you're interested, you should take a look. Ask him how to cook, and he'll tell you."

"Okay. Twa, I'm gonna go."

"Oh, be careful."

Drop Yuki off on a small run inside the market and I'll ask the leaves.

"So, what brings us here?

"You don't seem satisfied with mere whims...... Well, if you're a Gentile who can get into Forestania, you're pretty confident in the fight, aren't you? I need you to give me a hand."

"Fight, hey. We're craftsmen for once."

"What, enough if you don't take a step back from the monsters in this country. Yeah, I'll tell you more when she gets back."

Sure, because listening to Yuki and I separately is just gonna be a hassle twice.

"Tell me what you want to ask for briefly, and I want you to help me investigate a little ruins. What, it's not hard to get rid of monsters because I need your help."
