We have a level system in place for mankind.

At the end of the consolation meeting, we gathered in one of the rooms of the Inn. Misaki is with me.

"Misaki, how's the wound?

Elena asks, Misaki replies okay.

"Looks like the potion worked. There are different beasts of wood in Jesuit City."

I nodded.

"Oh, there's Trent."

"Heh, promising town. Cardiac stones of wood attributes are precious, so it's better to keep them in storage."

"Stash in? Is the potion precious?

"There are also people who think that heart stones will replace currency in the future."

Some scholars expect it to be a currency whose value changes depending on the type and size of the heart stone. And among the cardiac stones, the tree attribute is used for medical care, so it is said to be more valuable.

I turned my gaze to Misaki.

"Misaki, what are you going to do now?

"... I'm just lost right now. I think the special elite team will be disbanded once the mission is successful. Mr. Keung Lo asked me if I could continue to work as a prefectural explorer."

Seeing Misaki's face, he doesn't seem to like the offer of an exclusive explorer.

"Why don't you come to Higashigami? There's a place to live."

"Right. You might want to work out again in Jesuit City."

Elena looks strange.

"I think it's strong enough."

"I was no match for this guardian. And I know that protector is not the strongest."

"To live as an explorer, you have to be strong, do you mean?

"That's right. And I don't think the Seeker's mission is just to collect what he needs to hunt the Beast."

"What do you say there is?

"I wonder if humans will survive and reclaim the world from different beasts"

Hearing Misaki's words murdered his family by a strange beast made everyone look serious. And I remembered telling your handwashing mayor, 'If you're the mayor, try to take back the city of Jesuit from the beast'.

"Get the world back... we need grounds for that."

Kawai snorts yeah.

"If it's based on grounds, I'd prefer Higashigami."

"Right, I'll think about it. By the way, it took a while for that guardian to drop his neck and then turn into a heart stone, but why?

I took out the shadow bag, as Elena remembered, and took out the guardian's nails.

"I was going to ask you why this is still there."

Eight nails in all, metallic gloss and iron-like weight. Seems to have different ingredients than human nails.

"That's the skill I got when I defeated my guardian. We can cut only some of it out of the remains of the beast."

Kawai showed disappointment. I couldn't seem to imagine what it would do.

Misaki pointed her sharp gaze this way.

"Can you process the material you left behind into something?

"Oh, my new skills are called 'special weapons making'"

Elena looked unconvinced.

"But if you were a weapon, you could have made it in" Heart Stone Processing, "right?

"Now the material is different. It means we can build weapons out of some of those claw-like beasts."

Once a cardiac stone, no matter how tough the original is, the material that can be formed from that cardiac stone is precise in steel. But guardian nails are likely tens of times tougher material than steel.

It feels like we can build weapons that aren't comparable to steel if we keep them that way.

"Awesome. Can you make weapons? Then make me a sword."

"If only the material was in place."

Kawai turned his attention to the guardian's nails.

"Can't you make it out of those nails?

"Guardian's claws are only enough to make a normal sword."

By the way, when Misaki's weapon asks him what it is, he says it's a sword. They were destroyed and torn apart by their guardians. Misaki said no when I suggested I make a sword out of my nails.

"Those claws are the loot that Kozillow won with his life. Use it for your own good."

Muto pinched his mouth.

"What is the province going to do with the coal-fired electricity that will get them back on track? It's not like we're handing out electricity to residents' homes."

They're moving recycling plants and other plants.

I rounded my eyes to the answer I never thought I would.

"You don't even have to recycle now."

"You don't understand. What countries and prefectures want is precious metals like gold."

"No way, shall we collect money from the foundations of electrical products, etc."

"No way. The governor used to call it a city mine."

According to Misaki's story, he recovers precious metals used in electrical products and other products and uses them for trade. The amount of gold that can be recovered from urban mines throughout Japan appears to be 6800 tons. By the way, I remember hearing that the gold reserves in South Africa, famous for their gold, are about 6000 tons, so it must be a great amount.

"What are you going to do with electricity in Higashigami?

Misaki asked. We looked at each other,

"I have to talk to the town hall, too, so I'll decide. Well, we'll decide eventually."

I haven't done anything. Just talk to the town council, and the decision is ours. I was only thinking about how much electricity I wish I could use at first, but let's think carefully here.

Our first expedition is over. Among us on the armored train, there's Misaki. Looks like he decided to work out again in Jesuit City.

"Soon we'll be in Jesuit City."

Immediately after entering the city of Jesuit, an armored train passes through the poisonous bug district. It's a district full of poisonous bugs, and poisonous bugs strike armored trains. If even one of these guys gets on the train, it's imperative that we make a fuss.

Safely passing through the poisonous bug district, the train arrived in Higashita town.

"Finally home"

Muto, who went down to the platform, raised his voice.

"Let's get back to Higashigami"

I raised my voice.

At that time, the sound of bread echoed the platform.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I see the mayor of your hand wash and Ryuzaki. The sound now sounds like the mayor hit Ryuzaki.

"What have you done? I told you not to let those people take it personally."

"But I assigned the placement in the prefecture. I couldn't do anything."

I heard that voice. I guess the mayor is angry when he finds out about the rations. Moreover, the prefecture has been instructed to distribute electricity even to Higashigami town, which is furious.

I had a little sympathy for Ryuzaki.

"Now let's go"

I raised my voice, as Misaki said I should stay out of it.

We leave the station and head to Grass Dragon District.

"That's right. Defeat Swordsaurus and Blade Crow to get Materials"

I wanted to test my newly acquired skills. Everyone else agreed.

Immediately encounter Swordsaurus. With a spinning stick in my hand, I attacked him with an auspicious limb. A spinning stick hits Swordsaurus' head. Is it because of increased muscle strength because of the leveling, the giant head bounced up and the neck bone made an unpleasant noise?

Broken neck bone. Swordsaurus stopped breathing. But it doesn't turn into a cardiac stone while keeping its appearance.

"It was true."

Kawai raised his voice. Didn't you believe this guy? When I turned my gaze, I laughed and misled.

"Which part do you leave behind?

"Fin like a sword on my back, I guess."

I answered Elena's question. The fins looked pretty sturdy, so I thought they could be used for something.

When I designate a fin, it leaves a fin and turns into a cardiac stone. Misaki and Elena picked up the fins.

"Pretty sturdy."

Misaki tried to bend it with all her strength. When I put a lot of effort into it, I bend over. When I let go of my hand, Pong and I went back to normal.

"That's a sturdy, resilient material. Could it be used as a bow material?"

Elena rated it as material. I'll take it and look at it with all my strength. It has some strength and bends when more than a constant force is applied. And when I lose my strength, I return abruptly.

"All right, let's make a bow out of this guy"

When I thought so, various ways of making bows came to mind. This also seems to be a force of skill.

He then encountered a herd of blade clowns. This guy's nails have tremendous cleavage. Suitable for producing blade-based weapons. When asked if it was just for the Great Sword... let Kawai wait.

We recovered numerous Swordsaurus fins and blade claws as materials.

We broke up with Kawai and Muto on the way back to nursery school, surrounded by children.

"This man, who?

Coletica asked. Teach me I'm childhood friendly.

"Uh, Dr. Elena's rival."

Misaki laughed.

"Really? I'm Elena's rival."

"Sorry, kids say weird things"

Elena blushed and hugged Colletica giggly.
