The day after we trained our slaves to fight, we decided to resume our journey to Atarime. The new slaves decided to put half of them in the 'room' and the other half into combat personnel. Because the carriage is just getting full.

The new slaves were also surprised by the 'room' they saw for the first time, but succeeded in convincing them with a word of secret power. I guess you don't think it's weird what we can do anymore.

The slaves in the "room" are given points of trial and production to make things. The potion has only been awarded 1 point and beats out a higher quality than me and Sakura. No, can't we make an accurate assessment of the comparison...

That's why I also let Dora make hyppotions. Hypotion only adds a few ingredients to the potion, but there are surprisingly few people who can make it because Level 3 is required. Dora succeeds in creating hypothesis that is 1.5 times more effective, naturally. That's why I can't sell it...

And two days later, we arrived in the city of Atarime. The toll to the city is the same 1000 gold as usual. They all decided to get it out of the 'room' and pay for it, that's a lot of money in 14,000 gold. By the way, if slaves go through, all you have to do is pay a fixed fee for handling things (lower than tolls, 200 gold being the average). No, I'm paying the average price because I don't plan on making it public that I'm a slave.

Search the map as usual to get to the inn where you can stop the carriage. The city of Atarime is somewhat strange. I don't know... I should say that Japanese architectural styles are mixed everywhere. Even though it's a western-style building, you can see buildings that are pulled in or that use tiles only on the roof. It feels like a Japanese compromise halfway through.

Q: Why?

A: This is the result of the architectural method left by the brave man being used halfway.

Brave... it's you again. No, this country is solid in quality and profit-oriented, so from that Japanese, there's something about reasonableness in buildings that's uncomfortable, too, … maybe. In a way, it is a sight that is no more attractive than tourism.

"What is it..., this strange feeling of nostalgia and not nostalgia at all..."

Sakura seems uncomfortable too.

"I was hoping a little because I heard about the roots of Japanese culture in Castar, but this is different."

Mio seems to be out of range to be admitted, too.

"Well, you'll get used to it one of these days..."

"If I get used to this, I feel like something will collapse as a Japanese"

"Maybe going to Wangdu will make it worse..."

"Stop? Go to King's Landing."

"Exactly, I won't say that much..."

The Japanese group is roaring, but as an original member of this world, I didn't get empathy because it feels like 'That's an unusual building'.

Oh, I didn't stop you from going to the King's Capital. Maybe there's a perfect Japanese house.

Yes. I remember something important. Looks like this city deals with rice. Since there seems to be a regular retail, I plan to buy it thoroughly. It wasn't until just before I entered the city that this fact came to light, but I immediately installed a 'portal' nearby. Now you can always come and buy it.

The inn decided to take two rooms. Original party and rookie slave group.... I tried to split them between those two to be exact and Coco and Lolo said they would like the same room as me. Then Sicily, who goes around about Koko, told me that this was a good one. So Sakura and Serra went to the rookie slave group and split into seven people.

It's the result of Grandpa, but when I think calmly, I feel the room is roaring. More so, the near-looking Sakura and Serra disappeared. Except for those two, they're basically just going to be young kids... Hobbies? No, no, it's a coincidence.

"" "" "" "" "" "" "" I'll have it "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" ""

Yeah, that's a lot. I asked the innkeeper to have lunch in the room. No, because I felt like putting this many people in places like the dining room.

When I asked for 'cooking with rice' in my cooking order, it was like Doria that came out.... No. I use rice, but that's not what I'm looking for. I made an order about this. Me and Mio are bad. Looks like the rice I'm using wasn't the same type as Japan. They say the varieties they make vary from region to region. Now the task is to find rice that looks like Japan.

A: I have a store that deals with West Side Boulevard.

Yes, over. Let's go buy it later.

"... your comedy..."

Dora... you have a surprisingly sharp taste.

But this is delicious.

Oh, Dora's right, this was delicious now.

After dinner, we decided to head to the Adventurers Guild. Finally, it's the adventurer debut of the new slaves (G-rank on the senior side).

"Please register as an adventurer. There are eight of us who sign up."

Turn to the receptionist, and let him go. Unlike the city of Connoe, the Adventurer Guild had gorot-like guys sitting on the table. It was a drawer, by the way.

"Yes, I did. Please fill out this form and submit it"

Is that it? No matter how you look at it, my early teenager is coming to register, but he won't stop or ask... I wonder which is right as the basic stance of the receptionist.

A: It depends on people.

In the meantime, the registration form shall be written and submitted. Some kids can't write letters, so in that case, it's proxy.

"Yes, I accept. Please wait."

Handing over the form, the receptionist headed for processing.

"Oh, boy, we got a bunch of kids and registered adventurers. Oh, you look like one."

Ah, temple.

So approaching is a skinheaded, scratchy adventurer on his face.... an adventurer, right? This is more convincing to be called a bandit...

In the meantime, I was worried about what to do because the temple of those who were talking to Mio came...

"Temehe, you're not ignoring me..."

That much, adventurer? clogged the words. Naturally, Maria's the adventurer, isn't she? Because I have a sword on my throat.

You just used Maria, right? It sounds like Serdik's move, and I told him not to be too big... I'll have to scold you later.

"Dear Jen, may I?

If I said I'd cut it, I guess I'd cut it without hesitation. I'm not going to do that much just about temple.

"Let go."

"Yes."

That being said, Maria draws the sword. Adventurer? You have a great cold sweat, too.... Well, maybe it's a natural reaction to all that being done before you get seriously involved.

"So, what can we do for you?

"Yes, no, nothing..."

An adventurer completely lost momentum by Maria? went back to being awesome and at the table.

I wanted you to work a little harder there.

"Your guild card is ready. Please register your ownership"

So stain the guild cards handed to you with the blood of the slaves.

Well, shall I take the request as soon as possible?

Goblin Swordman's Crusade

G-Rank

Crusading five Goblin Swordmen near the West Gate.

1500 Gold

Crusade for Slime

G-Rank

Crusading 5 slimes around Atarime.

500 Gold

Etc...

Honestly, it wasn't a big deal to ask for G-rank. I guess that means we can break the demons around the village. Although not always requested, the deadline is longer than a week. My only concern would be that I can't find the target demon. There's a map. It's none of my business.

By the way, to get from G-rank to the top F-rank, all you have to do is successfully request G-rank or no rank 10 times in a row. You can fail once in the meantime, to be exact. Besides, even if you take it at a party, it adds up to everyone, so if you're not really a talentless person, it's an easy wall to cross. Yurica? I guess you don't really have the talent of an adventurer.

When we got the request, we decided to split the party up just like the new slaves did with their combat training. There's still a lot of anxiety to get it organized just by the newcomers.

This time I changed the organization slightly from the last time.

Me, Mio, Sella, Claude, Adele, Coco and Lolo are the first parties.

Maria, Sakura, Dora, Illis, Sicily, Knott and Julia are the second parties.

This time I decided to disperse the long-range firepower. I tried to make Mio and Sakura a separate party. The formation of the newcomers is the same as before. Sakura leads the second party in anticipation of Maria being older.

I don't care, but everything so far has been done within the Adventurer's Guild. At first they looked uncommon with all the kids, but Maria's active? Apparently they thought 'something sucks' by, not much attention has been paid to it. I mean, they keep watching the chills just because there's nothing left to look at in grandeur.

The horrible thing about Maria is that 'no Alliance employee has seen' where she poked her sword. So nothing has been noticed, and the adventurer has decided to avoid it...

"Well, if you share and finish two requests, look for them again all over today."

"Okay. Don't reorganize the party today."

"Oh, I'm going to set a theme and organize a party every day and get a request here for a few days"

"Yes, then take care"

"Be careful over there, too."

If anything happens, just read it.

Yes, thank you for your attention.

Maria and I had a light meeting to dissolve. Oh, G-rank adventurers can only take up to two requests at the same time, so we need to get back to the city for a little while. I'd like to take 10 cases and get it over with...

Get out of the city and look for a crusading demon. Naturally, map search makes it easier.

"Your husband. How do you know where the demons are?

"Secret power."

"Oh, yes."

Answer completely tempered. In the meantime, I think I'll tell you a little more about our psychic powers (from Himitsu onwards).

"Oh, there are three Goblin Swordmen"

I know.

"Can we fight alone again?

"We're getting used to it."

"Okay. Leave it to me."

So far I have left most of the battle to the newcomer slaves. No, I'm not skipping. If it seems dangerous, I can always support it.... I'm sure it's safe on the map.

We went out of town five times on request, half a day in time, and we ranked up to F-rank. The Marias were ranking up in about the same time. Sounds like it's usually rarer not to have a request, like the city of Connoe.

That the task of interpreting demons is necessary on a regular basis, and that by determining the target demons by rank, there is a purpose to prevent them from reaching out to demons beyond their control.

"We're free time because we signed up at Connoe, but didn't you guys get the fastest rank up or something?

"Ranking up in half a day is incredible."

A nearby official talked to me as I waited to process the rank up while we talked about that.

"Ha, that was a shame. Looks like there's a real example of a recent ranking up in another city in an hour, so it's not the fastest. It's happening in another country, and it's probably the fastest in this country..."

"Mindless..."

Mio dropped his shoulder disappointingly. In an hour..., no, I can do that if I make full use of my abilities too, but can I do that to normal people? You're not a brave man... I'm sorry to think so. Next time you raise a slave, turn your hand around to end it in 30 minutes...

I finished updating my guild card while I was talking about that. Now you can take an F-rank request. Naturally, the F-rank is stronger than the G-rank. Let's focus on that tomorrow.

So I went to the weapons store and decided to buy protective equipment that I couldn't have prepared for everyone. It's basically a light outfit.

"Then, starting tomorrow, I'm going to untie only melee weapons and put together tactics that also put ranged weapons and magic in perspective"

"Can your husband also use magic..."

Dinner (this time Japanese rice was eaten. super delicious) Then gather everyone in the room to talk about tomorrow's plans.

I have not used magic in previous fights. Sakura made him fight with his skills, and Dora's Dragon Magic is forbidden. The recovery is done in potion, so I don't know we can use magic. Well, it's on purpose...

"I mean, I can make you guys use magic too"

"Who is your husband?

"I can't teach that yet. I 'forbid' you to ask."

"... Yes"

"Sooner or later, I'll tell you when you've served us well enough."

"Okay. We will try to get your husband's letter."

Claude nods. The other slaves follow suit.

"Well, that's what we talked about. Do you guys want to use magic?

"I want to use it. The Magic Swordsman is the best of dreams I've ever given up."

Claude looks with anticipation. You had a surprisingly greedy dream. It's not as good as Maria's, but it suits the all-purpose type, so I wonder if it would be a problem with that kind of build. Basically, you're my subordinate... and you're going to have a style of combat similar to mine.

"I do blacksmiths, so I think it would be useful if the magic of fire could be used. Maybe a little out of the way..."

"I'm wind magic. I want to move fast like Senior Maria."

Knott and Koko also seem to have a clear purpose.... right.

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to have Julia use the magic we've decided on here."

Rarely have I spoken to my personal choices, so the newcomers look surprised.

"That's unusual. Your husband gives instructions in combat style."

"Oh, for a reason.... Ask Julia to use Spiritual Magic and Spirituality"

These two magics I took from the vertical roll, but no one has ever used them before. There's a little reason for that.

Spirit Magic

Ask the spirits in the atmosphere to pay MP to exercise their magic.

An advantage is that the chant is performed by someone other than himself, so it does not interfere with the person's behavior. Ability to exercise the magic of multiple attributes in one skill.

The downside is that the Spirit takes the margin, so the MP consumption is large. That you can't use magic without spirits around you.

Spirituality

Serve by direct covenant with the Spirit. I can manifest the Spirit by summoning. Always consume MP during manifestation.

Q: What's a Spirit?

A: It is an energy life form that presides over the attributes that are in this world. He is also the one embodied by the magic (MP) that drifts in the atmosphere. It becomes active in places related to the host attribute. When the amount of energy increases, you have a clear self.

Simply put, it wasn't the kind of skill I wanted to use at level 1. Some portions are convenient, but if you look at all of the attributes that were available at the time you took them from the vertical roll, they were high MP consumption and there was no demand for skills that depended on the environment. Just look at the name. Mio used it. I sealed off what I was doing.

"Okay. If that's what your husband says, there must be a reason."

"I'll give you the magic now. Others say that if there is hope. Not all of this is gonna happen."

As it were, I decided to give all slaves two types of magic skills, one point at a time, to make them remember. I've decided on two for this convenience for Julia, so I decided to make her remember another one at the service. He really wanted to use the freshly remembered magic, so I threw it in the 'room' and let him use it until I was satisfied, and everyone was passed out because it was something that I used MP to the limit that I wouldn't normally use at all. I don't mind using it until it's critical if I get used to it.

The next day, just like yesterday, when we were asked to do the crusade, we decided to do it all day, with practice including the use of magic. The newcomer slaves, who improved their status slightly and were able to use magic as well, went on to crusade the F-rank requested demons at risk.

That raised the Adventurer Rank and allowed it to become the E-Rank by the end of the day. The Adventurer Rank has several walls, the first to visit is with the Intermediate Adventurer Wall, D-Rank. Next up is the senior adventurer's B-rank, and later it seems like it's hard not to interrogate anymore because it's full of walls. Simply put, the next D-rank is the only wall against us.

"I can't believe we, the slaves, can be E-rank Adventurers in two days..."

"Your husband's secret power is amazing."

"You don't have to be afraid of some demons. It's huge."

"Yeah, a lot of demons still can't win, but you can't lose a goblin or anything"

Much leeway has also been given to the battle of the newcomer slaves. It would also be significant that magic is now available. I have to be careful with the MP operation, but I used it once to make it fall down, so it seems like it's time to feel bad.

Given that I operate magic while tweaking the area with the status of Chirii Eye (System Window), can I say Spartan quite a bit? If you look at the effort alone, there will be more newcomers.

The original members and newcomers will even be D-ranked in a few days. With that in mind, we head to the Adventurer Guild the next day. Somehow there are people in the Adventurer Alliance. Is something wrong?

"Stampede! Stampede!"

"They've got tons of demons coming out of Tyra's Woods!

"He said it was Tyra Forest! That's the recommended subhuman demon nest over B-rank!

"There is one village in the direction of progress. After that, I'm going to come to this city!

In a raucous noise, I was able to pick up information that seemed important. A demonic outburst (stampede) has occurred, and they're coming to this city not far away. As far as I'm concerned, this is my chance to take my skills and stats. I decide to ask the newcomers to leave a message or be thorough with their support because it might be tight.

Q: What is a demon outburst (stampede)?

A: It's about demons moving in unison. There are several causes, many of which are called 'Escape the Threat'.

"Be quiet! The Alliance Commander will pass on the policy!

When one shouted out loud. That said, the surrounding gaya gradually dwindled.

The guild leader and thinkers come forward. You're as strong as Joseph. When I looked it up, I found out I was an A-rank adventurer. After all, it looks like S-Rank is missing one head. I didn't end up meeting S-rank adventurers in the city of Connoe...

"Adventurers of the city of Atarime! As you know, a bunch of demons are turning to this city right now! It is our policy to think of three things: one is to head to a village that crashes into a herd in a while, and fight defense ahead of it. The other is to form a line between the village and this city, where they will fight in defense. The last thing you need to do is close the gates of this city and defend this city."

Simply put, abandon or not abandon the village that will soon be attacked. If we defended ourselves in the city, the inhabitants of that village would be almost wiped out.

"For once, I'm telling the village dwellers to head this way, but it would be a subtle place to be when they all ask if they can make it. Because there are no horses, no horses, and you're going to be on foot."

If a woman, a child, or an elderly villager were asked if they could move faster than the demon progresses, the answer would naturally be no.

"We can be somewhat prepared if we are going to have a line of defense between the village and this city, but if we try to contain the damage to the village, we cannot be prepared or anything, and we cannot make it if we do not continue on our way. Therefore, it is the guild's policy to get some preparation in this city before heading to the village to create a defensive line. And I'm going to protect only those who can."

This means abandoning people who didn't get to the defensive line.

"I think there's a yes or no. But there's not enough power in this city to protect everything. If I badly unprepared and came forward and wiped out, I wouldn't even be able to protect this city. As a compromise, we all want to understand."

You didn't say anything wrong. If I put the damage and brother-in-law on the scale, the area would be nearly dropped.

"I'm sorry, but defense warfare becomes a compulsory request. I need you ready as you can in half an hour! Later, if there is an adventurer with a carriage, ask for help from the people who are fleeing the village!

Oh, you have a carriage, us. So you mean the clerk who picks up villagers as much as possible.

This could be a chance. Picking up rescuers in a carriage means getting close to stampede that fast. That's how many demons can be dealt with. There's no reason not to go.

Even if the village itself has no big deal, it is decided that as little damage as possible should be done...

A: …….

Oh, what? Say it again...

A: …….



"Maria, Serra, hurry up and get ready for the carriage. Other members joined the defense in this city to vacate the carriage. Leave an application for the Alliance to rescue him by carriage later!

"Yes! I'm coming, Serra!

"Yeah, yeah."

Maria doesn't hesitate to follow instructions at times like this.

"Your husband! What do you mean!?

"Jen, what's wrong!?

I don't have time. We need to get to the village as soon as possible.

"Explain later. For now, we're leaving, so do what you say."

That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna take some of the original guys to the carriage. Let's take Mr. Tamo and Midori as well.

Now that we're ready for the fast track, we're headed to a village that's about to be attacked by Stampede on the map.

"Hey, mister! Explain it to me."

Hey, hey, hey.

I'm sorry. I'll explain it right now.

"Jen, your sudden behavior means you found something."

Ooh, Sakura's only known each other a long time, and he seems to have figured out something about the area.

"Oh, the villages that are about to be attacked..."

Why I want to protect the village.

It's a Japanese rice region!

A: The specialty came out for dinner yesterday, the same kind of rice as Japan.
