'Yes, sir. I evolved them. They evolved a Hawk, a falcon, and a crow. I chose Hawk myself, but the other two seemed strong as well.

Oh, I'm so relieved.

Well, if it's all chicks, I'm worried. They also asked me about other as-yet-unknown bears, lions, and owls. As I was answering politely, one of the male players asked me.

'What are the three sizes of Lady Lily and the others?!

I don't know. Well, I'll give him credit for being brave enough to ask that in the air here. The female players and their summoned beasts gathered around him and forced him away. He never came back.

Luke asks me if I'm trying to change the atmosphere he's created.

'Well, let's see. You're not going to challenge the boss, Takuto-san?

'Oh!　That bothers me too. You were originally going to take on the attack team, weren't you?

Yeah. But I decided not to challenge it. I mean, it's like that boss is a bad idea to challenge him, you know?

What?

Mr. Lewin asks on behalf of me.

'Wait a minute!　What does that mean?　It!

It seems that the boss seems to be the guardian deity of the young tree forest and is forbidden by the state to be killed. I actually went to the Adventurer's Guild and heard from the staff, so I'm sure of it.

What's that, and how are we going to get to another town?

Mr. Crowe asked the obvious question.

'They're going to pay the guild to get around in a carriage.

...

All of the players are exclaiming. Well, it happens. That's what I was going through, too.

'When did you learn about it, Tact?

'Well...I believe it was after the incident. It all started when the manager of the store I was staying at said that if I had that much money, I could move to another country.

I mean, it's like a trigger to make more than a certain amount of money... a nasty setup...

Agreed. It's not easy to pull this trigger with an attack group.

You certainly won't save any money if you keep challenging the boss.

''Tact-kun, even if you don't, you do have plans to go to the next country, don't you?

Yes. Tomorrow, I'm heading to Freetia, the land of the free.

Okay. Do you have a country name?

Mr. Crowe asked me, and I told him all the countries and their characteristics.

'I see. Then Tact-kun should have chosen Fretia.

'I mean, Samonar and Tamer are supposed to go for that country. I could dare to pick another country, though.

'Is Mr. Crowe in the mining country of Vaneleaf?

Of course.

Ah... good luck, Mr. Crow.

Mr. Tact, what do you know about it?

''Well, you see. Actually, there was a quest to help a certain NPC in the Wakamiki Forest yesterday.

That's a common quest. Do you know what the NPC's name is?

Hephaistos.

Mr. Lewin froze. 'Well, you will, won't you?

'Who is it?　That guy,

You don't know, Mr. Crow, do you?

Crow... are you... are you going to stop being a blacksmith?

Oh, I agreed with Mr. Lewin. Then I told him about Hephaistos.

'You fought that werewolf again.

I can only imagine a picture of a werewolf being beaten to a pulp!

Mew says so, but...well, it was a terrible battle. My disclosure continued after that.
