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
I know from the radar that there is one flying ant coming here. Since there is a considerable speed difference, it's just a matter of time before it catches up."Lulu, evacuate from the coachman stand. Kagari, are you confident with your aim using the stun magics you mentioned earlier?""As long as the range is within 20 meters, it's fine."I take out a cane from the back of the wagon-actually take it from the Storage- and give it to Lulu who passes it to Kagari."Eh~ It's plain, but it's quite a good cane."I won't speak of it, after all it's more expensive than Kagari."Shoot twice then fall back even if you miss and switch with Liza. Pochi and Tama will cover Liza.""Kay~.""I understand, master."Pochi's and Tama's answers are a bit late."Is it okay not to throw the stones?"Oh yeah, I forgot about the throwing stones. Since I want to confirm the stun magic type for now, let's keep them as reserves."This time it's fine not to throw the stones. I want you to concentrate on the an
The flying ants formed groups of 8 ants and then started to head toward this wagon.I pass 4 crossbows to everyone except Lulu who is handling the wagon, and give them a simple lecture on its operation.Use the lever to pull the bowstring, then put the bolt on the rail and pull the trigger. If you don't think the hitting the target part, it is actually quite simple."Take a stance... shoot!"Matching my signal, the bolts fly. The target is the approaching swarm.Three ants were shot down. After setting the next bolts, we shoot once again. This time we hit two.We won't make it for the next volley, but Kagari unleashes Shock Wave as we've arranged before, and shoots down the remaining three.Because the next group is getting closer than the one before, after shooting one volley of bolts, we decrease their number with Shock Wave, and then, the remaining two ants fall prey to Liza's spear and my zero-distance bolt shot."Master, do you have any MP recovery medicine?"I gave three of them
