We have a level system in place for mankind.

I woke up at the nursery the next morning, and I looked around. The children are asleep. Many children sleep in the cold with their bodies rounded.

"You need heating. The firewood stove is in the home center."

The closest home center to here is in Tennoji Town. It's now called the Beastman District. They call strange beasts like animals like orcs humanized beasts.

The only breakfast was a drink made with powdered milk. Powdered milk seems to have a lot of buyout. Elena, who's finished cleaning up, is approaching.

"You're going to Little Ghost District. I'm coming, too."

Elena's outfit is easy to move denim pants and windbreakers. And he carries a backpack, and he has something like a soba bar in his hand.

"Maybe you have skills in sticking?

"Do you understand? Yes, it is. And Mr. Moki?

"I have. It's the best fighting technique for me, but if it's a stick, it's less lethal, so it's not for a sturdy enemy."

"Yes, but this was the only attack skill I had to choose from."

"Right. Wouldn't you rather practice with a bow next time?

"Is it a bow? I can't get it."

"Today, when I'm done transporting food, I'll go to the home center and I'll find it."

"Then I'll go too"

"No, I don't know what the situation is, so I'll be the only one at first to make sure"

Elena seems to have convinced us, so we headed to Shimojo Bridge. He entered the Little Ghost District by speaking out to Sakuma, who was on watch at Shimojo Bridge fort, abbreviated as Shimojo fort.

I ran into six goblins by the time I got to the supermarket. Elena says if she only has one goblin, she can defeat it, so she decides to have it fought for her level as well.

Yesterday, they ran into two at the same time and defeated one, but they got a soba stick bounced off the second one. In times of danger, he managed to defeat Goblin when he let him fight in a state where he could put him in help.

"You look really okay. When there's more than two of us, I'll make a mistake, so let's keep fighting."

"You're going to help me raise my level, are you saying?

"You should raise your level and be able to explore by yourself if it's a little ghost district"

Elena clouded her expression a little.

"After all, Mr. Moki is going somewhere else"

Seems you got the word 'alone' when I went somewhere else.

"It's not like that. I haven't thought about the future yet. I'm just looking into the city without a neighborhood. If you do, you'll be leaving nursery for a while."

"Then I'll do my best"

That brings me to the thought that I need to protect Elena, who makes me smile. It's not about romantic feelings, it's like protective greed.

Just before the supermarket, when Elena defeated Goblin,

"Oh, I've got a level up"

After I said that, Elena gave me a painful look. I guess the kind of pain that alters your body is attacking you.

Lift Elena, who was about to fall, and let her sit in the transport chair in the supermarket backyard. After a while the pain that struck Elena healed.

"Do I have to endure this pain every time?

"No, you don't have to worry, because the pain will be smaller step by step"

"Good. What skills can you acquire… 'Cardiolithic Processing'? Do you know anything about it?

"You should get that one. Skill in processing cardiac stones obtained from different beasts into various things. It's convenient."

"Really? Then I'll get it."

The actual acquisition was made after I returned to the nursery and I packed the food in the backyard warehouse in a shadow bag. The rice will be full in about 120 kilometers.

I'm 20 kilos of rice and Elena decided to put 10 kilos of flour in the backpack and go back. Return to Fort Lower Bar with heavy baggage. Give Sakuma and the others five kilos of rice bags.

"Isn't that amazing? You found rice."

Sakuma is smiling. There are dozens of people in Higashikami-cho who are working on exploring the Little Ghost District and bringing back food, but fewer people are dividing rice with long shelf life into Sakuma's.

By the way, those people are called explorers.

"Something like a fantasy or a game world."

"That's what they all say. It's like the world has become the world of games."

Elena laughed. Apparently she thought the same thing herself.

I went back to the nursery and tried to put food in the kitchen. But I realized there was no place to put it. The nursery kitchen is cramped and there is no room for large quantities of food.

"Talk to Director Tsuchii"

"Right."

Me and Elena headed to a place where there was a twist.

Director Tsuchii was helping to prepare the meal.

"Oh, you were fast."

When Elena talked about the situation, Director Tsuchii suggested that if you leave it in the unused infant room. Since there are currently no infants, the infant room is not used.

In the meantime, I decided to leave it in the nursery and put a blue sheet on it. Stack the rice bag from the shadow bag.

"It doesn't feel careless to leave precious food here."

Elena also leans her neck and roars, "Let's not."

"Right. But there's nowhere else to leave it."

"I have no choice. Let's think about a proper storage area later."

Moving food, Elena began choosing her skills. One seems to have decided on "Cardiolithic Processing". When you level up, it seems Elena is the same person who gets three skill points. I wondered what other skills I would choose, and this time he said he would save up later just because of 'heart stone processing'.

I had lunch at the nursery and left Elena out of East Cape Town. Enter Little Ghost District and take the shopping district a little south, turning west in about ten minutes. This path is closer to the Beastman Home Center.

However, this street had a lot of goblins in the Darkless Arrow Cod "Mummy Yamada". Thanks to this, I threw three or two goblins and fastened them with a knife to get the heart stone. The Inuyama Agricultural Cooperative building in the heart of Little Ghost District caught my eye.

"What. Goblins come out of the Farmers' Guild one after another."

Looks like the Farmers' Association building is turning into a goblin habitat. That's when I remembered the zombie terror. There's a horrible presence inside that building.

My signs perception skills captured something other than normal signs. It was an ambiguous thing called some kind of presence, but it felt as sharp and spiritual as a blade made of ice.

"There's something minotaur over there."

Looks like you'd better stay away from that building. I decided to avoid the Farmers' Association and head to the Animal District.

From the street where the building was located, we entered one of the neighboring streets and went west. Doing so reduced the number of goblins encountered.

"But the number of goblins coming out of that building is unusual. Is there something in the Farmers' Association building?

Enter the Beastman District while defeating Goblin. Looks like the Beast has a territory. There may be no beasts near the border of the territory, where they can rest or camp.

When I walked around the Beastman area for about five minutes, I ran into an oak. I turn my money into a cow knife. To manipulate a cow knife, it is desirable to use the knife technique, but there was a problem.

The technique that the level system classifies as knife technique is the technique of manipulating a knife with one hand. The technology was not such that it could be mastered in the deep and short term.

As a result, I fought like a cow knife with stick technique. Still, an oak can knock you down. Because Orc was just wielding a cow knife at his disposal.

Proceed while defeating the oak and retrieving the heart stone. I see a familiar building. It is the largest home center in the city of Jesuit. It's a three-story building, with the ground floor serving as a grocery store.

I went to the grocery store upstairs to confirm. Everything was gone. I also tried to get into the backyard, but there was no food here either. Maybe the employee got away with it.

Food gave up and went upstairs. There is a section in the back of the second floor that sells sports equipment and outdoor equipment, where we look for bows and arrows. This place was also vandalized, but not as much as a grocery store. About half of the product remained.

I found the bow in the showcase. It's a western bow called a recurve bow, and it also has arrows and arrows. There are three different prices and I decided to bring all three back because I don't know which one is better.

"The bow and arrow I promised Mr. Elena, I hope so... firewood stove next? You must have seen it before."

I remember seeing a firewood stove at the home center about a year ago.

I relied on my old memories and headed upstairs.

"There it is. Firewood stove."

There was only one firewood stove left. It is a square firewood stove with glass windows. There were also chimneys and firewood. I figured out why there was only one left, trying to lift that firewood stove.

Enhanced by increased levels, even I'm so heavy that I'm likely to struggle to lift it.
