"Brother Carr! Welcome back! How are you?

Chiara welcomed me home fine.

"I'm home. You've grown up in a little while. That's great.

Chiara, who was smaller than my neck, is big enough to reach the neck. Is it still a long year?

"The lady over here is not black! Why?"

"I've decided that! Because black is prettier!

Black is prettier. Is this a Dark Elf value?

Brown skin, blonde hair close to yellow. Yeah, you're a gal after all.

"Oh my God! That's cool!

Whoa, did we get along early? I'm sure he's close to his mental age. Oh, we went to the bath together. Are we friends after all?

Well, no, let's talk about the status quo right now.

"That's what I'm saying. I want your mother to help me somehow.

"Totally... I didn't think you'd be back in a year... ok. It's a good story for me, too, and I'll work with you.

Profit to your mother? Where the hell is that stuff from right now? Well, no.

"Thanks. I just want to go to King's Capital, but when's Chiara's graduation? Besides, what's the path?

"This weekend, three days from now. The way forward is the magic school in Wangdu.

"Oh, we're going to Wang Du. And it's surprisingly normal with a magic school.

I wonder if that sounds like Chiara.

"Right. The prince and I seem to get along a lot better.

It was... it was there... so it's the king's capital! Come on, Franz bastard...

Fair enough... Mother and Marie cooperated. Now we can win!

Three days from now... I can't stand still. What are we going to do until graduation...

By the way, Alec is home tonight. It's been a year...... let's sleep alone tonight.

I tried not to open the door in my room, and the silence went off. Now nobody gets in the room until morning, hehe.

"Wake up, Curse. Alex is here.

"Ugh... Mother? Oh dear..."

It's morning. You slept well...

"Good morning, Curse. You slept a lot.

"I had a hard time getting rid of the magic. It's nice to be so cautious.

That's right, Mother. Have you unlocked all that magic? Automatic defense to range alert, and silence. Besides, they even move the iron cube I put in front of the door.

Oh? Look closely outside. It's already noon. Have you overslept? Well, you have no choice, do you?

"By the way, what does Alec want today?

"I'd really like to relax with Curse, but you'd better take the guild's request. I haven't done anything in about a year.

"So is that. Shall we try something affordable?

"I have a meal for you. Eat before you do.

That's my mother. Thank you.

"Ernin, are you finally up? I went to wake him up a few times and his defenses are too tight -!

"Oh dear. Did you sleep well?

"It's perfect. What are you gonna do today?

"Uh, I'm going to the guild. Because of this, let's all take a proper request.

These three, plus the five with Ko and Kamui in it. Any request would be straightforward. I don't do escorts, though.

Arrive at the guild. I see you don't have any good requests left at this hour. I don't know much about it because I don't usually take requests in the first place.

All right, let's go find herbs in the Green Glass Meadow. If you pick without a norm, you'll get paid just the percentage you pick.

"I'll take this, please.

Submit the wooden plaque with the requisition number to your desk and query it with your guild card to get it accepted.

"Ah, Mr. Curse? Mr. Curse told me to come to the union chief's office if I needed him."

"Okay. Then this is a souvenir. Split it up for everyone.

Properly hand over the demonic meat that was left in the magic bank. I haven't done this in a year.

"Well! Isn't that Wyburn meat! Thanks!

Wyburn, there's still a lot of meat left, isn't there? Should I organize my inventory one of these days...... hmm too much trouble......

Take Alec and Cromi to the union chief's office. Knock it off. Hello.

"Get in!

"All of them, Mr. Gorellius. Happy inauguration, though I'm late to say hello.

"Congratulations.

"Chi-su.

Note that Ko and Kamui are waiting around the entrance to the guild.

"Oops. You're finally home. Well, sit down. Hey.

Hmm. Same goes for the previous Donovan union leader, but is it also a tradition to have a guy who's a union leader?

"Excuse me.

"When I was in trouble with Chi. You came home at a good time.

"Oh? What is it?

What do you have to worry about in a well-armed Kutanatsu Guild?

"Lake Stix, you know what?

"Yeah, sure.

"Around Lake Stix, there's an explosion of Evil Girasolet, you know?

What... so...

"That's your first ear. So, how long is that?

"You think they're dense enough to surround that fucking wide lake of Stix? Well, to that extent, it's not a big deal. It's just a plant.

Humans, demons or whatever, shoot in seeds and breed nasty sunflowers. Just plants are rigid.

"Yabe is slime.

"Is it slime? That's unusual in that desert.

"We're talking about a surviving mon. Then Lake Sticks is slimming through the whole thing. It's important to talk half the time.

"Huh..."

I have no idea what that means. Same goes for all those lakes being slimy...... then why are all the surrounding Evil Girasole breeding? You usually eat anything slime, huh?

"That being said, it's that fucking wide Herdeza desert. I can't think of a way to cross that desert to the soldier or the kuttanut. But, yeah? If... if you come, it's over, huh?

"Right.

How big was that lake? At least not at a level where you can see opposite shores. How big a slime.

"I'm also concerned that Slime and Evil Girasolet are delivered in one place. It's a cause or circumstance. Can you do it, Curse?

"Let's try.

"Success rewards are ranking up. I think it's the sixth star of Kutanutsu. Five large gold coins, of course, as a separate crusade reward. Bullshit. Come on. Hey!

"Patience!

Oh, boy. Slime...

Hmm? Could it be used?
