In any case….

I wonder why all the losing versions all matched up with the stuff I like…

The losing potions, the losing antidote herbs…

They don’t appear on the market because they’re considered to be the inferior versions of the originals.

If I went out to town and checked the market, I would probably find many types of ingredients.

However, I knew that I would never find the ingredients people called “losing versions” there, when in my eyes they were a winning prize.

…What should I do?

For now, I should check the losing versions for many things.

There must be other herbs out there other than antidote herbs, right? I wonder what there are. Could it be that people called spicy things like chili peppers and wasabi a losing item too?

SInce they’re spicy, I’d have a terrible time trying to get them from the market. Not only do they not have effects by themselves, they’re so spicy they’d make you cry during a battle and you wouldn’t even be able to open your eyes. Wouldn’t that put you in danger?

Hmm. As I gave it some thought, I only came to one conclusion.

The people here definitely avoided bringing back losing versions of things.

…I can’t imagine anyone else being so carefree about it like Rofas-san.

In any case, I’m amazed that such a careless person like him could work as an adventurer.

Well, in any case, if I wanted to get my hands on many different losing ingredients, I’d have to ask Rofas-san or Bryce-kun. That, or I have to find them myself.

The only people I could ask for help from are the ones who know about this.

Hmm…

If I want to find them myself, I have to level up so that I can go to different areas.

I’m sure the MP potion field is probably impossible for me right now, since I’m lower level than a five-year-old.

No, maybe it’ll be fine, and I can just ask.

The winning MP potion is cola after all. There’s a big possibility that the losing MP potion is something too.

I wonder what it is.

When I woke up the next morning, there was no one in the dining hall.

All of the pots and utensils used have been cleaned up and put back neatly.

It’s great that they didn’t forget to clean up even after drinking.

……Are Rofas-san and Bryce-kun sleeping in an unused room? I wondered. Saga-san works for the army, so maybe he went back?

What should I do for breakfast then?

As I thought about that, I heard some explosions coming from outside.

Ah.

Ah…

Special training, huh?

I took a glance at the situation outside from the door, and saw Rofas-san and Bryce-kun doing their usual special training… together with Saga-san.

It felt like Rofas-san was the physical type, Bryce-kun was the magic type, and Saga-san was the swordplay type… Not to mention, with magic as a plus.

Hmm, let’s see. It looked like it was Rofas-san versus Bryce-kun and Saga-san.

…For some reason, Bryce-kun and Saga-san had incredible synergy together. Was it because they hit it off yesterday?

Actually, what about Saga-san’s job? Are things going to be okay?

Well, whatever.

Let’s go make breakfast.

Since we had sushi last night, maybe we can have bread for breakfast.

I want to have sandwiches filled with vegetables.

I want mayonnaise.

But there’s no mayonnaise anywhere. Sigh. If only I have oil, then I can probably make it.

There’s definitely oil for sale somewhere, right? What should I do if it turns out to be a luxury item like sugar…

Ah, that won’t matter, because mayonnaise needs eggs. There must be eggs for sale, right? There are mountain birds, so they definitely have birds in this world.

I have vinegar already.

Hmm. I guess we’ll have to eat whatever we have already, so maybe I’ll go with another octopus dish today.

We didn’t have much of a variety here.

For now, let’s go to the field and see what I can find.

Climb, climb.

I climbed up the rocky mountain towards the field.

The special training was still ongoing, but they weren’t doing it near the dungeon, so I didn’t have to fear being hit by their attacks.

Haah. The morning sun was bright.

When I got onto flat land, the morning sun was shining through the cracks of a mountain.

Wait, that’s not a mountain!

I thought I saw the silhouette of a mountain, but it was actually the kraken’s head! I wish someone would deal with it soon, since the kraken is casting a shadow over the field.

Ahh…

Um, let’s see. Tomatoes.

Okay, let’s use tomatoes today.
