Thanks to this group subjugation doubling as a re-survey, the forest monsters are almost gone, apparently.
They’ll increase again given time, but we’re safe for a while.
As expected of the veterans; almost no casualties, and this group subjugation can be called a big success.
Glad tells me so with a smile that makes his face look even worse.
In the middle of that, scary-faced Gordon finds me and comes over.

“Ah, there you were. Oi, miss. You sure fooled us.”
“Hello. And what do you mean, fooled.”
“Don’t have a skilled adventurer play beginner. We were surprised.”
“Eh, no. I am a beginner too.”

Actually, I only started adventuring recently. Continue reading →

The next morning I get up and go straight to yesterday’s furniture shop and buy a big pillow.
The only one they had is a bit smaller than I am tall, but it can’t be helped. Better than none.

On the way back I stop at the inn for breakfast.
The fluffy omelet and crisp bacon are superb.
The mistress’s food really is delicious, yep.

While I’m at it I stop at the guild, and there’s a notice that the nearby forest’s no-entry has been lifted.
Herb-gathering requests have piled up so I think of taking one on the way, but I hear new adventurers take those, so I hold off.
Maybe I’ll take a forest subjugation instead.
If there are a lot of monsters, gathering requests are dangerous too.

I wasn’t the only one who thought to cut the monster numbers as much as possible; other adventurers are talking about going to subjugate forest monsters too.
Fumu. That thing. Everyone looks scary and they’re kind.
They’d probably deny it if you said so.

“Ou, miss. What’re you holding?” Continue reading →

Back from the Adventurer’s Guild to the inn, after a delicious lunch.
I pack my few things and go greet the inn mistress.

“It was a short time, but thank you for taking care of me!”
“Oh my, you bought a house at that age. Amazing.”
“Ahaha. Well, a lot happened.”
“Come anytime. I like the way you eat.”
“Thank you. I’ll probably come again soon.”

To eat delicious food.
Delicious is always justice.

“That so, then I’ll throw in extras again!”
“Yay! Thanks!”

I take her hands and bounce, and she shows a happy, hearty smile. Continue reading →

Today is house-hunting day.
The bath incident reconfirmed how important a house is, and besides, I’ve always done my own things myself, so having meals and a bed provided doesn’t sit right.
Well, the mistress’s food is delicious, so I’ll still go eat it.

Anyway, if you want information, the guild is the place.

“So, Liza, Glad. Know a good house?”
“Sorry, I haven’t found one yet.”
“Muu. I’d take pretty much anything at this point.”

The church was pretty run-down, after all.
Drafts and leaks were bad, and I didn’t even have a room of my own.
While I’m saying that.

“Not that there isn’t one, but.” Continue reading →

The dungeon exploration ended in a swing and a miss, so today I come to the Gernika ancient ruins again.
Last time I was in a bit of a hurry, so this time I mean to explore thoroughly.

“Now then. Hope there’s something… Ring, map.”
“—Analysis complete: displaying the map.”
“Thanks.”

Umm… last time I went that way, so this time this way.
While I’m checking the map, Ring speaks in that usual androgynous voice.

“—Ouka, I have a report.”
“Nn, what?”
“—The recording media obtained here last time: analysis complete.”

Oh. Those silver cards, I guess.
Unreadable letters carved in, but they got analyzed.

“Good job. So what were they?”
“—Hero combat records. The combat record installed in Ouka, and the Hero Shimauchi Hayato’s combat record.”
“…Meaning?”
“—Presumably pseudo-lifeforms produced with combat records as a medium.”

Hnn? I don’t really get pseudo-lifeform. Continue reading →

“Nn? A dungeon?”

Lunchtime. At the Adventurer’s Guild, Liza brings up something like that.

“Apparently a new one was found near the capital.”
“Heh, that so.”

A dungeon. Untamed land where monsters live.
Caves, ancient ruins, that sort of thing, but anywhere monsters have nested is generally called a dungeon, I hear.
There’s apparently more to it, but honestly I don’t get it well.

They show up at some point and monsters start spawning, I guess.
I remember hearing that once you find one you have to survey it, and periodically hunt a certain number of monsters.

Frankly I wasn’t that interested, so I don’t know the details.
Looking after the kids mattered more than dungeons.

But now, going to try one might be on the table.
I’d like information that could be a clue, if there is any. Hnn.
And I want to go to the Gernika ancient ruins again too.
…Whatever. For now, maybe I’ll try a dungeon once. Continue reading →

Chapter 42: Letter Delivery

After talking with Glad, I get to cook the guild meals sometimes when I have free hands.
And from now on it’ll be accepted as a standing request.
Apparently at the Adventurer’s Guild they’re often too busy to cook, and dinner is just bread sometimes.
Really a harsh workplace. I’ll come make food as much as I can, yep.

That aside, today is work again.
Unfortunately there are no subjugation requests, so I take a delivery.
Just deliver a letter to an old man in the port town Asura.
Normally they send it with a merchant-caravan escort and it takes a month, but I can do it in a day.

So today I go through the sky in good spirits.
If I fly high, monsters don’t attack; it’s peaceful.
I fly in a lazy mood, looking at clouds in the blue.
Oh? A flock of birds. Flying low; maybe rain. I don’t want that.
The clouds aren’t black, but I’ll be careful. I don’t want to fly in rain.

That worry seems unnecessary; I reach Asura without incident.
The letter just has to go to this Adventurer’s Guild, apparently.
I deliver it right away and get a receipt stamp.
That completes the request, except. Continue reading →

On the way back I stop at the guild and settle today’s goblins.
Uumu. The pay really is pretty good.
Maybe the adventurer trade is viable… no, it isn’t. Scary, and dangerous.
I think a bakery or a diner suits me better; no matter how far I go the town-girl nature doesn’t come out.

Even now I can’t help wanting to cook huge amounts of food.
Cookware I can use without worrying about getting it dirty, a knife with a terrific edge, and the capital’s main street lined with all kinds of ingredients.
My hands honestly itch.

I eat delicious food at the inn every day, but I want to make something soon.
Ingredients I never even saw when I lived in town, I can buy in bulk now.
Maybe this cooking method, maybe that seasoning.
I end up thinking things like that.
I might even leave the inn and rent a house.

“That’s what I think, anyway. Do you know any good places?”

For now I try asking my reliable older-sister figure for when I’m stuck, Liza. Continue reading →
