729 Story 675, second place.

"Good job, it's been a while." Are you all right? "

The vigilante showed his face from the building next to the entrance to the cave.

I was fine, but I just wanted to ask you a few questions.

A vigilante leans back at his father's words.

"This cave is for beginners, right?" And yet, more than 30 monsters attacked all at once. Is this the usual thing? "

What? Thirty? No, in this cave it's usually around ten… Thirty?

I knew it wasn't normal.

Following on from the previous cave, today's cave... it's too bad luck.

Is there something about the activity period?

"No, according to the records of this cave, this kind of phenomenon has not happened even during the activity period." Besides, the results of the investigation show that this cave is not susceptible to the effects of the activity period... How did you get 30 monsters? Maybe it's the influence of the higher monster with the earth magic? "

Top monster with earth magic?

"Yes. When a superior monster skilled in earth magic passes by the cave, a large number of monsters appear inspired by its power." However, this may be wrong because we are investigating it. "

What kind of monster are the top monsters that are skilled in Earth Magic?

I think I'll ask my father later.

"In the meantime, I need to ask you to investigate the area around the cave." Um, were you really okay with the injuries? "

The vigilante turns his attention to Arias and the others.

“It's okay, Druid has joined the fight.”

The vigilante with a reassuring look at Mr. Arias' answer.

"Great. Excuse me, but could you tell me more about the monster that attacked us?" We'll have to investigate the inside of the cave, too. "

"Very well. Ah, I'll exchange the magic stone for a gift certificate." Who has the magic stone? "

"It's me."

When his father received the magic stone from Lilia, he went to the vigilante building with Arias.

Leah let out a sigh as she watched it go.

There are only two places left, but if we go into the cave, we'll have a problem.

And I smile bitterly.

It is only the second place, but it is so.

When this happens, I wonder if I should go to the third cave.

I don't like it if anything happens again.

"It's a coincidence."

Tan Rus shrugged his shoulders and looked at Leah.

"Coincidence? What if something happens in the third place?"

That's just not a coincidence, is it?

Leah laughs bitterly at Tanras' answer.

That's right.

As expected, if there is a problem in the third place, it is not a coincidence.

I might be a little scared to try the next cave.

"Ah, I'm back. Welcome home."

"" I'm home. ""

Ms. Arielus and her father smiled at Leah's words.

“I booked a third cave, was it okay?”

Reservations for the third place?

When I leaned my neck, my father showed me a wooden board.

Two days later, the date is engraved on it.

"When the second place in the beginner's cave is over, you get the right to enter the third place." And the third place is reserved. It's the biggest cave for beginners, and it's going to be one night in this cave. ”

One night?

Are you staying in a cave?

Think about Sora and the others in the inn.

If I stay over, can you come with me?

Oh, you're practicing staying in a cave.

Practice.

I'm a little discouraged by what your father said.

Explaining that today's cave is also a practice to get used to caves, Sora and the others decided to stay in the inn.

If I told you that the third place was a practice staying in a cave, you might not come.

That said, I hate to leave everyone for a night.

What do we do?

“Ivy, Sora and the others are going to be fine.”

Yeah.

I laughed and nodded at your father's words.

That's good.

Now you can enjoy the cave with everyone.

With reservations, the number of adventurers would be small, and I'd be looking forward to it in two days.

“Staying, maybe it's my first time staying in a cave.”

Ms. Arielus nodded when she saw what Ms. Lilia had said.

By the way, you never stayed in a cave on this trip.

Sure, I went into the cave and collected a lot, but I didn't stay.

Well, it's not normal to stay in a cave because of Shell.

When your father smiles bitterly, Arias and the others laugh as well.

That's not true.

After all, the monsters didn't come anywhere near me, so I didn't have to worry about being attacked.

Return to the village and discuss what you need to stay in the cave.

My father is ready, but Arielus and the others seem to be missing many things.

"Let's go shopping tomorrow." Let's buy something that Ivy doesn't have. "

Yeah.

When I was talking about tools, I noticed that I had forgotten to buy a talisman.

I was surprised by this.

Well, that's right.

More than traveling, it's a necessity because it's life-threatening.

However, when I was travelling with Sheil, I was late when I finally bought it.

I don't remember since when.

Haha.

Once you're back at the inn, make sure you have all the essentials for your trip.

"Welcome home."

I'm back.

I greeted the gatekeeper and went into the village and out onto the main street.

While browsing the stalls, everyone decides what to buy.

I knew you wanted some sweetness, right?

Lilia's words nodded, lining up with the sweetness stalls that I had given up on last time.

Mr. Arias and Mr. Tanlas went to buy alcohol when they heard that there was alcohol only available in this village.

"Doesn't your father have to go with you?"

I'm a father who likes alcohol, so I think you'd like to choose it.

It's just lined up in the stall, so you can come and see me.

“It's okay, I gave you hope.”

Is that so?

Well, I'm talking about Arielus and the others, so I wonder if you know your father's favorite drink.

Ivy, which one do you want?

Huh?

The stalls are lined with colored dumplings.

It's so cute, isn't it?

There are 10 different colors of dumplings that can be eaten in one bite.

What does it taste like?

When I looked at the stall wall, there was a description of the taste.

"Um... eh, are these all vegetables?"

The description says the name and color of the vegetables.

"Is it a vegetable? It's sweet, isn't it?"

Your father is also attracted to the dumplings, so he turns his attention to the dumplings.

"All the vegetables used are sweet, but..."

Is it delicious?

Ah, even vegetables with a bit of a habit are used.

"Nhh, please give me five of each type." This should be conquered. ”

Huh?

Looking at Lilia, she had an interesting look on her face.

Well, the rumor said it was delicious, so it would be fine.

I'm a little worried.

I nodded to my father's words, even though I was in front of a stall.

At that time, the shopkeeper and his gaze met and I felt a little awkward.

It's good because it's delicious.

I smile and thank the shopkeeper for his words.

It's embarrassing.

"Hey, it seems that there are suspicious people out there as the inn is gathered."

Huh?

Does that mean there's a "Tomorrow Roll"?

That's not suspicious, it's a man chasing a sick lover, right?

A sick lover?

Speaking of infirmity, don't remember the man you were looking for by mistake.

"Is that so?" I didn't know. Is a man a bad guy? "

"That would be true. Even though he's sick and weak, he's running away. The man persists in listening to the guests staying at the inn without giving any details."

I see two men talking.

Looks like a village man, not an adventurer.

"Dad, that's what I'm talking about."

"It must be that guy."

I'm looking for someone, and I wonder how they got away with it.

I mean, I'm still looking.
