199 195 stories, Master. I'm out.

I'm impressed to see someone overflowing the boulevard.

I knew it was a big town, but I can't believe how many people there are.

Day 4 noon from Mr. Druid's success report.

A day behind schedule, but today is the day the masters return.

Already in festive condition, such as the town folks decorating the boulevard in the morning.

Unlike before, you don't see people drinking.

I wonder why?

"Amazing. Or is Mr. Druid good today?

"Because no one drinks and makes a scene today. Normal security is fine."

"Really?

"I have an idea that it would be rude to be drunk to welcome a hero who's fought for his life. The guy who drinks today is about a hero and his family."

I see, that's why there are so few people on guard.

"Still, you're pretty handy this time"

"Really?

"Oh, it's rare to decorate and welcome the boulevard so far. I'm guessing that's how it affected you."

View the boulevard decorated with collected flowers.

Many flowers are found in the woods.

I'm sure many people have gone out to the woods in the morning to collect them.

"Ah, you. You."

I heard voices from behind like I'd heard somewhere before.

Looking back...... oh, he's a slaver.

Unfortunately, I can't remember the name.

"Uh, it's been a while"

"I wanted to see you."

"What?"

Oh, speaking of which, I told you to look for a slave who fits the criteria, and I forgot to say no.

What should I do?

"I'm sorry. We haven't been able to find a new slave yet because of Grubbal."

That's right, good.

You know, I found something for the trip.

"Oh, really? Good. I've been worried I'd keep you waiting."

Ah, I've done something wrong.

"Excuse me. I forgot to say no"

"No, I had no choice because I was in a difficult state. Well, if you need anything else,"

"Yes, thank you"

The slaver's shop owner handled it without looking particularly concerned.

Good, I couldn't turn it down if they told me I'd found it now.

"You're the shopkeeper of the Gorga slave trade, right now"

Gorga?

Was that the name?

"I forgot my name"

"Haha, that's unusual"

"No, I'm here sometimes. Someone I can't remember very well."

Mr. Dorgas couldn't remember either.

I managed to remember, though.

"Hehe, isn't it sexually appropriate or something like that?

Am I?

... I guess so.

Talking slowly with Mr. Druid, he was hailed by the gates of the town.

Apparently, he's back.

Cheers keep spreading through the city.

Watch it somewhat strangely.

"Don't you have to go near it?

"Yes. It's fine here. Where's Mr. Druid?

"Ahhh, you don't like the noise there"

Mr. Druid and I are a short distance from the festivities.

Looks lively and fun, but too many people are a bit bad.

So it's just about as good as looking from the outside.

"I don't like masters either. It's so noisy."

"Really?

"Oh. 'You can't complain if you screw me up,' he blurted."

Master would not hesitate to say, 'It's depressing!'.

The two of us laugh at the look of the master we see.

Sure, my face is drawn.

Plus, he's laughing, but he's smiling like he's got blue muscles standing.

"Wow... didn't you just stare at me?

"You looked like you were staring."

"That one's dead, and we're gonna get caught up in cowardice later."

"Hahaha. Still, that's awesome. I can't believe you tried to touch that master."

Watch people try to touch a smiling master whose face pulls on and somehow feels even murderous.

I don't have that courage.

"For once, it makes sense to say thank you. It sounds like harassment when you get there."

Well, I know you really appreciate it, but there's too many of them.

Wherever you're tired. Then it's a little pathetic.

"Well, my master and Gilmouth look fine, let's go"

Away from the boulevard with Mr. Druid.

We've cleared up the Gulbal thing, so we're going to discuss the future.

Which neighborhood will we cross winter as we move towards winter.

They're going to need to be ready for that, too, because it's going to be a trip for two.

Go back to the square and spread the map over your desk.

After that, prepare paper and brush.

"In the meantime, don't write down what you need"

"Yes."

Mr. Druid writes down what it takes for two people to travel on paper.

"You can't have so much luggage."

"Right."

"Oh, I need to talk to you."

"Yes, what is it?

"It's a tent, but can I try to use a tent for 3-4 people? Or would one of you be more comfortable?

A tent?

For 3 to 4 people means to use it together, right?

There's nothing wrong with that.

"We'll be fine together"

"Good. It's a crusade I used to take with my master, and I have a tent for the magic items I got. I think it helps because it can separate the inside of the tent and it performs well"

"Magic item tent?

"Oh, it has the ability to keep your voice from leaking outside. And the size of the inside is different. It's a tent bigger than it looks."

"Amazing. Do you have a tent like that?

"It's a pretty rare tent. I don't think it's a problem for Sora and Flem to get a little violent, either."

Mr. Druid laughs with pleasure.

"I'm looking forward to what kind of tent"

"Oh, I'll put it out for inspection. 'Cause I think I'll probably find out soon enough."

What does that mean, we can find it?

"My master gave me the desk. Yeah, that said, there must have been a bunk mat somewhere."

"Sleeping mat?

"Hmm? Don't you know?

"Yes."

"It's a magic item bunk, they're cushioned and comfortable to sleep on"

"Apparently?"

"Oh, I've never used it. Where did you get into it? Is that the room?

Don't get kind of geared up for an amazing trip.

Is that okay?

It's all Mr. Druid's, though.

"Um..."

"There must have been about four of them, so Ivy's share and mine. Do you want to take the rest as a spare? It won't even be so much baggage because it's going to be small."

"Ah, yes. Um."

"What's up?

"Can I use it with you, too? Even though Mr. Druid is the most important thing he's ever gotten."

"I wonder if you'd be happier to use it. Because it's all dusty stuff in some room."

"Really?

As far as I can tell, it's a pretty good magic item, or a rare thing.

Isn't it because it was important that you kept it on hand without selling it?

"I kept it on hand to sell if I was having trouble with the money, but I don't even need that much money if I'm alone. Until I was invited on a journey, I forgot all about being."

That's an amazing idea to sell if you're having trouble with money.

If I were you, I'd be switching to money fast.

"Um, then I won't hesitate to use it"

"Oh. So I have one favor to ask you."

"What is it?

"Can you help me organize my house? There must have been something else I could use for the trip, but I can't remember where it is. There are three rooms I use for storage, and I think there's one of them."

"I don't mind, I'll help!

"Thanks. Yeah, sell stuff you don't need. I can add it to my travel expenses... and I'll probably sell my house later."

"What! Are you selling it?

Reminds me of a house I went to once.

It was a bit of a rusty place, but it was a pretty big house.

"That house is like I bought it to avoid people. Come back from your journey and live in this town again. I don't need you there anymore."

Was that house an escape place for Mr. Druid?

But he said he didn't need it anymore.

Oh well... hehe, I'm glad to hear that.
