"Demon lord you say, the kind that wants to rule the world?""Yes, the one who wants to destroy the world.""Where is it coming from?""I don't know, maybe hell?""Don't look at me with those eyes~ From what was written in the book, it's said that they're invaders from a foreign world.""Is foreign world different from another world?""I'm not a scholar so I don't know.""Is that 66-year cycle thing true?""Yep, there are records where the demon lord appears a bit sooner or later, but they generally seem to appear in 66 years.""So, it has almost been 66 years now?""It was 62 years ago since the last demon lord, but seems that it has been stealthily gaining power while in hiding. Since the demon lord before the last appeared 132 years ago, it wouldn't be strange if the current demon lord appears any day now."Kagari frowns forming a duck mouth. The beautiful little girl's look is ruined."I see, any sign of its coming?""If the world is in crisis, the god will tell it to the oracle~
It's aggravating to be filled with bad imaginations with no way to prove it. Even if it's the truth, the heroes should win against the demon lord like how it usually goes. If they lose, then I'll take responsibility for defeating the demon lord in place of the dragons.I take a deep breath several times and I'm becoming calm.Having high Mental Strength surprisingly has its merit.I come back to my room. Returning to the main subject.I want to do further verification and alchemy. Since the chanting practice needs to be done steadily, I have no choice but to do it on the way to the labyrinth city.First, let's verify the storage.I take out the meal.It's still warm.I lightly bite it. The taste is still the same.I put back the remaining meal to the storage.It's a bit late, but the item's name is [Seryuu Grill]. It needs a bit more ingenuity.I added a new memo called Storage Verification. I wrote the date and the state on the memo.For now, It can keep something warm, maybe it even
I take Kagari to the wagon. On the way there, I meet Martha-chan in the tavern, but she doesn't look particularly shy and offers me a meal.Since I intend to eat outside with Liza and the girls, I decline.When we got to the courtyard where the wagon was, the 4 girls were waiting while looking bored.When Liza notices me coming, she comes as the representative."Master, is it fine to put the luggage on board?""Let's see... Tomorrow, since we'll be picking more luggage from the merchant guild, let's do that tomorrow, but if we leave them here we'll be troubling the landlady huh."Kagari whispers to me when I'm still thinking about it."Let's keep them in my Item Box? Don't you think that it's safer there?""There are only people we know now, so it's fine I guess."I instruct the girls to pile the luggage inside the wagon for now.The three small girls get up to the wagon to receive the luggage. Since Pochi and Tama have strength stat on par with two large adults, they handle the heavy
I walk the town while enjoying the morning sunlight, feeling refreshed.Yosagu-san was unlike me, yawned constantly looking sleepy. I invited him for breakfast but since he didn't come home his family was probably mad so we decided to part ways outside the shop."If I made it big in the labyrinth city, let's come again.", I shouted him that.Even though it's early in the morning, the people who are having meals on the stalls, and the people who are selling fresh groceries are lively.The vulgar atmosphere that usually permeates in the east district was probably the fault of the visitors.I'm smelling something good from the stalls.Although I'm not particularly hungry, let's buy some souvenirs for the girls. Though I can't buy sushi in wooden box pack like those fathers from Showa era.I buy a big handbasket made from thin wood from a street stall. It's about as big as two rice bowl. I also bought two lidded containers for soup and put it inside the basket.I buy warm meals and put th
The bookstore is kept by the already recovered gray-haired old man, Semone-san isn't in the shop. I'm not able to worship that glorious proportion... regrettable.The shopkeeper gave me the map to Labyrinth City.How do I say this, it's a map that screams, "Measurement? What's that is it tasty?". Although I didn't expect it to have map symbols or contours, it's questionable if this thing has the concept of cardinal directions.My business is over with this, but the shopkeeper, demonstrating his commercial spirit and kindness, recommends me various books.Books that looks like they'll be useful for journeys like, "Journey to Royal Capital", "Dictionary of Herbs", "Carriage Repair Reverse Dictionary", etc, I'm charmed by their titles so I buy all the recommended ones.There are introductory books for woodworking, smithing, engraving, and various manufacture-related books, but since there's no demand and coupled with that they're old books, they don't sell well at all.When I show an int
The wagon makes a clattering and rumbling noise as it travels through the highway between hills.Whenever small animals like rabbits and rats show up near the bushes, Pochi and Tama react as if they're going to jump out of the wagon. Every time it happened, Liza seized the two by their waists. Although the wagon is only about 20 Km/H fast, they won't get hurt even if they jump out."Pochi, Tama, you'll fall if you lean over too much, sit on the back of the coachman's stand."The two reply with good answers and place themselves on the left and right sides of the coachman's stand.Though it's probably only until they find something else.The winds are slightly cold, but since it's cloudless the warmth from the sunlight is pleasant.After we got out of Seryuu city for a while, we came into a forest, or rather, a gathering of branching thickets.The wagon shakes as the wheels climb up. From behind, I'm hearing Lulu's small shriek, and Kagari's abusive language, but I'll pretend that I di
After I've finished taking care of the horses, I begin to compound for deodorants behind the wagon. I want to do something about the intense smells of goat leather and wool.During compounding, Liza comes to ask if the meal is fine without soup since the firewood isn't enough. It's cold, and the black bread without the soup would be too hard.I catch a sight of the Light Hot Plate beside me which I've used to heat water for compounding.I decided to use this to help with cooking. After heating the soup with this, you could put the burning firewood until it's boiled. I'll leave the magic supply for Light Hot Plate to Kagari.Still, I didn't think that gathering fuel would be this hard. I should have bought them in Seryuu City.I'll take out scrap wood from the Storage if we get in a pinch. The fact that the Item Box could only store items with particular size is a bottleneck.I, who had been making deodorant behind the wagon, could smell the nice aroma of the soup. The finished deodora
"Yes~ 10 straight victories!""It's only Kagari who wins, unfair~ Pochi also wants to win~.""Tama too~"I can hear the little girl's voice from behind. The members beside me have been playing the learning cards for about 2 hours.Since I couldn't really look away, I don't know the details but it seems that Kagari has continued to childishly win."Kagari, here's the commemoration for 10 successive victories.""What is it? A picture book?""If you could win that many, then you should be able to read it right?""Nnn~ I could probably do.""Then read it for Pochi and Tama. If they're only studying the learning cards, they would get bored before they remember the letters.""Aye aye."At first, Kagari was reluctant with the picture book I held out, but she finally consented and spread the book open on the floor.Still, it's amazing that she could learn it in two days.Pochi and Tama who were complaining since a while ago, quietly sat and perked their ears when the story began.With nothing
