Wind Port
The only port city in the Magic Continent
It's a toith a lot of hills and slopes You can see the entire city from the entrance
The majority of the houses are ic Continent, but there are a feooden structures mixed in as well
Theywood from the Milis Continent
There's a shi+pyard at the end of the town
It ht be because it's a port city, but there are very few stalls near the entrance of the city In contrast, there's a lively atmosphere closer to the harbor
It's a toith a bit of a different color from the usual
Then beyond the port
Then outside of town spread an enormous ocean
When was the last time I saw the ocean?
Probably around middle school when I went on a field trip
It seems the ocean is the same no matter which world it is
The blue sea, the sound of the waves, the seagull-like birds, and the boats raising their sails
This is the first time I've seen a sailboat with my own eyes
They occasionally appear in e and excitement when you actually see a wooden sailboat with its sails
As expected, in this world they ainst headwinds
No, it's this world after all They can probably just ic or some other sort of method
The moment we arrived in the city, Eris ju
”Rudeus! It's the ocean!”
The words that cae
She has ree on a daily basis now
Ruijerd and I were trying to use Dee as much as we could to talk
The plan was a success Recently, Eris' Dee has improved quite a bit
After all, it seee is to live in a place where it's commonly used
Still, she can't read or write with it
Incidentally, since we caic even once
Putting aside voiceless incantations, I'ic
”Wait Eris, where are you going before we even decide on an inn!?”
After hearing s abruptly stopped
Incidentally, this is the third tie
The first tiht on a street corner
There won't be a third chance
”That's right! If we don't decide the inn first, we'll get lost right?”
Eris returned to being cheery while looking at the ocean
Co the ocean
There's a river near the Fedoa region and she would occasionally go play in the water with Sauros on holidays
Unfortunately, without me
”Can you swim?”
”Eh? You can swim in the harbor?”
”I want to swim!”
I want to see Eris' enchanting 13 year old body as well, but
”We have no swiht?”
”Swimsuit? What is that? We don't need it!”
I couldn't hidestatement
Swimsuit? What is that? We don't need it!
We don't need swimsuits
I wonder if that o nude
No, there's no way that's the case
Even in this world, there's the culture of feeling embarrassed over nudity
That's why, yes, most likely in underwear
We'll play in the water with underwear on top
The underwear that sticks to the skin as you get wet, transparent flesh showing through, pocchi[1] rising to the surface
That's strange, asn't I involved in the river play in Fedoa region? Exactly where was I?
I guess it was because I was busy
In those days, I was living a fulfilling lifestyle everyday
However, just once, just once I wish they had told
No, there's no point in thinking about that now
Focus on what is before ht now
Live in the now
Yes, I'ht now!
Alright!
It's the ocean!
”No, it's probably better if you don't try to swim in this ocean”
Then Ruijerd comes in to throater on the mood
”Eh?! Why?!”
”There's a lot of monsters”
That seems to be the case
It would be fine if Ruijerd and I just annihilated all the monsters
Is what I was thinking, but surprisingly that living organisht not be all-purpose
It probably can't detect very well in the water
No, but couldn't we e to bathe in the sea for at least an hour or so?
Swierous, but I couldsiic
Though, in the 1 in 10,000 chance that so happens
There ht be soe special ability
They ht over the fish preserve
If it was an octopus we could have an ero event start up, though if it was a shark it would be Jaws
Cannot be helped
It see in the ocean here
Really, it cannot be helped
”We'll go without swi this time After we decide on the inn we'll head for the Adventurers Guild”
”Yeah”
Eris was downhearted
Hmmm
However, even I have a healthy interest in Eris' body
I haven't been able to confirrown up over this past year
It's hard to tell with clothes on top, since that's the case I thought it would be good liberating near a shore, you never knohat ht happen
”Even if we can't se can still play on the shore”
”Shore?”
”The ocean has a sandy beach sort of thing The sand pit continues on all the way along the beach”
”What's fun about that?”
Even if you ask me what
”Uet some water from the beach and pour on it?”
”Rudeus, you're ain”
”Uh?”
”Though it sounds interesting! Let's go later!”
Eris said that happily and kicked off the ground, ju back onto the lizard
It was a wonderful ju ability
It was a jump purely with the power from her ankles
In ter
Eris's legs have been trained rather well
Though this matter is fine as it is
I wonder if in the future she will end up looking like Ghyslaine with bulging muscles
I'm a bit worried
For starters, we decided on an inn, left the lizards in a stable, and then started walking to the Adventurers Guild
Thewill be held before we sleep
Windport's Adventurers Guild
There were a large nu noise
It was a familiar scene, but it felt like there were quite a few human races
If we cross over into the Milis Continent, then it will probably increase even more
First off, let's go with our usual routine I moved in front of the notice board
”Are we not planning to quickly cross the ocean?” Ruijerd asked
”I' money in the Milis Continent would be better after all”
Earning money is easier in the Milis Continent
That's because the currency is different
The currency in the Milis Continent can be divided into six types: Royal Notes, General Notes, Gold Coins, Silver Coins, Large Copper Coins, and Copper Coins
If we use the fact that one stone coin is equal to a single yen as the basis and look at it then:
Royal Notes - 50,000 (500 USD)
General Notes - 10,000 (100 USD)
Milis Gold Coins - 5,000 (50 USD)
Milis Silver Coins - 1,000 Yen (10 USD)
Milis Large Copper Coins - 100 Yen (1 USD)
Milis Copper Coins - 10 Yen (10 Cents)
That sort of reasoning
The B rank jobs on the Magic Continent generally have rewards between 15-20 Scrap Iron Coins in total
If we convert that into stone coins, it would be 150-200 stone coins
If we ives the same amount as the second tier of their currency, it would be 15 Large Copper Coins
After conversion, it would be 1500 stone coins
That's 10 times more It would be better to earn it in Milis
However, if it seems like there will be quite a bit of ti some jobs here
Fundamentally B rank jobs
A rank and S rank jobs aren't just dangerous, but most of them take over a week or at minimum a number of days
If ant to constantly do a number of jobs in a period of a few days, then B rank are the best
That's e have no intention of rising up to S rank where you can't accept B rank jobs anymore
After you reach A rank, you can accept S rank jobs as well
Since that's the case, I first questioned why anyone would bother rising up to S rank
I asked the staff es if you rise up to S rank
I wouldn't know unless I specifically investigate it uild will distribute s
Also, they'll close their eyes to a s that violate a contract
Those kinds of things it seems
If we focus our efforts around A rank jobs, staying at A rank isup to S rank
Although, it seee benefit when it co labyrinths for adventurers(!)
We haven't tried exploring any labyrinths
They're dangerous and they take too long
We have been focusing our efforts around B rank jobs
For those reasons we have no plans to rise up to S rank for the ti
Eris seeh
Rather, the conversation has gone off topic a bit
In any case, we joined the Adventurers Guild with the intention of earning money
Since that's the case, it's better if we take the shi+p as soon as we can and earn money in Milis instead
”Come to think of it, I wonder where the shi+p takes off from?”
”The port”
”I mean where in the port?”
”Let's ask and see”
I moved up to the counter
Standing there was a female, probably from the human race
Why are there al at the counters?
And why is the ratio of large chested ones so high
”We want to go to the Milis Continent, but do you knohere we can go to get there?”
”Ask those sorts of questions at the checking station”
”Checking station?”
”Since you'll be crossing national borders when you board the shi+p”
It's a probleuilds' jurisdiction
Since that's the case, the guild staff has no obligation to offer an explanation about it, it seems
H station
Maybe we can hear a detailed explanation there?
”Hey you!”
Just as I was thinking that
I heard a loud yell within the guild
After turning around, Eris was punching a human race male
Our nuclear warhead is energetic today as well
”Where and who do you think you're touching?!”
”It it was an accident! Who would want to touch a brat like you?!”
”It doesn't matter if it was an accident! I don't hear any sincerity in your apology!”
Eris has becoe
And then, as she ihts increased
”Gyahahaha! What's this what's this, a fight?!”
”Oh my, oh my!”
”Hey hey, don't go getting beaten up by a child!”
Incidentally, fights between adventurers are actually a pretty couild doesn't really interfere
Rather, there are staffand take bets
”I'll crush you!”
”So Sorry, it's ?!!”
Just as I was thinking about that, Eris had rolled the guy over in no time at all
Eris' ability to drive people into a corner especially recently has been strong
They start to become afraid before she even touches them and not only that she accurately drives them into a corner
What are you snapping over? Just as you're thinking that they're rolling on the floor and being stomped on the crotch
The C rank adventurers here and there can't do anything to stop it
Then after a certain ae has been done Ruijerd steps in to stop it
”Stop”
”Why, did you stop me?!”
”The fight is already decided, let hio with this much”
This ti her like a cat
Thea certain part of his body
”damn it, you're insane!”
It's the usual spectacle
I can't really stop it
If I grab her fro on their own
When I start rab weird places, then it's my turn to be beaten half to death
”A baldy and a red haired violent little girl?! Could it be you bastards are [Dead End]?”
The uild hall became quiet
”[Dead End] you mean the Superd race?”
”Idiot! It's the party name It's been rumored to be fake recently!”
”I've heard ru as well”
Oh?
”They're violent, but they really aren't bad guys at all?”
”Violent but good guys, isn't that contradictory?”
”No, it means they're not all violent?”
Zaa
Muruild
This is the first time we've been in this situation
It seems, we've become quite a bit famous
I wonder if it's fine if we don't sell Ruijerd's name in this town?
”Just a three person party made it to A rank after all?”
”Ah, that is aardless of whether it's a fake or the real thing, I can believe it if it's those two”
”[Mad Dog Eris] and [Watch Dog Ruijerd] right?”
Eris and Ruijerd have nicknames!
Nevertheless [Mad Dog] and [Watch Dog], huh?
I wonder why they're both dogs?
I wonder what kind of dog I am?
I guess I'll listen for a bit and see
[Fight Dog] is unlikely
It'scool like that
I can't i either
If I had to pick for ][2] but
This past year I feel that I've been working as a sort of operations tower though
After all it should be some kind of intellectual name
[Patient Dog] maybe?
”Then, that et in the back would be [The Owner Ruijerd]!”
”I heard that the [The Owner] was the one with the worst personality a them”
”Yeah, everything I heard about him was bad”
And there it is
My name name hasn't been remembered
No, certainly I often nah
Every tiood happened on our travels I would say ”We name ourselves Ruijerd of the Dead End, please take care of us” as such
And then, whenever soh ”I a
Since that's the case, why did they end upthem?
Hnnn
Even though we've been quite active for this past year, I'm a bit shocked by the fact that only my name hasn't been remembered
Well, I guess it doesn't matter
It was sellinganyways, it's not too bad since it's not my real name
Also, The Owner isn't too bad as well
I'd certainly like to put a collar on Eris and lead her around
”In any case, he's small”
”I'm certain that's small as well He's a child after all!”
”Hey hey, if you say it's s!”
”Gyahahahaha!”
Just as I realized it, they're laughing at so totally unrelated
However, I'm sorry to disappoint you
Recently, I've been growing favorably
Oh, I can't
If I let theain
Just as I was thinking about that, she was sneaking looks in my direction with a red face
Oh, that seems cute
”Eris, what's the matter?”
”No nothing!”
Dyufufu
If you're interested feel free to coht
What? I'll give Ruijerd detailed instructions to allow it to pass
Since that's the case how about we bathe together
If that beco like with ue
Putting jokes aside
For the ti station
Just like The Owner, I headed out of this place full of dignity
”Eris-san! Ruijerdoduria-san! Let's go!”
”Why do you so”
”Hmph!”
The surrounding stares were gathered on us as we left the Adventurers Guild
We ca station
This town is in the Magic Continent, but after you get on the shi+p it will take you into the territory of the Holy Milis Kingdom
There's a tax on anything you bring in and there's an inspection upon entry to the country
Whether it's in order to prevent crime or otherwise just to earn money
Well, the reason doesn't really matter at all
If they ask us to pay we just have to do it
Just as I was thinking lightly of it
”Two huic race, but how much will it cost?”
”Huic race?”
”Superd race”
The staff meing open
Then after looking at his bald head he let out a sigh
It was a face without any motivation
”Superd race are 200 sreen coins”
”2 200 coins?”
This time it was my turn to be surprised
”Wh why is it that expensive?!”
”Even if I don't say it you should understand right?”
A reason why it would be expensive to bring Superd race on the boat
I get it!
I understand now since I've seen how things went during the travels up until now
However, it's way too expensive
”Why is it that absurd amount of money?”
”I wouldn't know Ask the one who decided on it”
”Old uess?”
”Ah? Well, probably a counter- one transported in as a slave and then having it go wild in Milis Continent and such”
That seems to be the case
I already understood that the Superd race are treated like a bomb
”You guys are that fao to board the boat they will properly investigate your race I don't think there's any point in showing your vanity and paying the 200 sreen coins here?”
Thankfully the official gave us that sort of warning
In other words, even if ere to try to falsify hiurd race, it would be revealed
”If you try to lie about your race is there some sort of fine?”
”Yeah, you'll have to pay a pretty expensive fine”
According to the staffis okay
What a money-based doctrine
The sun was starting to set as we returned from the check point
We returned to the inn and decided to eat
The food they brought out in the inn was a port city seafood specialty
A shellfish about the size of a fist was the ht
It tasted like it was covered in butter and stea
It's good
Out of all the food I've eaten on the Magic Continent this would be the best one
”This is delicious!”
Eris was eating it all happily whilea mess
During this past year, she seedom style table manners
Using the knife in your right hand to slice the food, and then stabbing it with a fork and bringing it to your mouth
At the very least she wasn't just picking up the food with her hands and putting it into her mouth, but there were no manners about it
If Edona saw this, she would probably cry
Is it my responsibility?
”Eris Your manners are bad!”
”Mogu like manners”
Even Ruijerd has better manners
Although this one is also lacking soance
He doesn't use the knife at all and cuts the food up with just the fork
Just sliding the fork across theh as if it were butter
I can feel the skills of a master
”Now then, in that case, even though we're in the ”
”Rudeus Talking in the middle of a meal is bad manners”
Eris said that with a sour face
After we finished eating and our sto
”The voyage expense is 200 sreen coins It's way beyond reason”
”Sorry about that, it's my fault”
Ruijerd frowned
I didn't think it would cost this much myself
Honestly, I wasn't thinking too much about the toll cost
As long as ork a bit ould quickly be able to ride it
In reality, the human race are only 5 scrap iron coins a person
Even other reen coins
Only Superd race are such an absurdly expensive amount
”Father, that's going too far”
”I'm not your father”
”I know It's a joke”
In any event, 200 sreen coins, huh
It's not a normal amount of money
Even if we focused on doing A rank and S rank jobs in this city to earn money, it would take a number of years
It seems like the Milis Continent really don't want to accept any Superd race
”However, it's rather troubling It's not like we can just leave Ruijerd behind here”
Leave Ruijerd behind
That would be the fastest way
We're already pretty experienced as adventurers at this point
I' with our journey even without Ruijerd
Even though I say that, obviously I have no intention of doing that
Ruijerd will be with us until the end of our journey
Our friendshi+p is eternal and indestructible, that kind of thing
”Of course on't leave you behind”
”Then, what do we do?”
”In terms of methods? There are three”
After saying that I held up three fingers
Everything starts with the number three
No matter what ti ahead, returning, or stopping
”Oh?”
”That's a, there's three ways?”
”Fufun”
I'll wait a bit on the explanation, I haven't thought of them yet
Umm
”First off There is the legiti off to Milis”
”Though that way”
”Yeah, it will take far too much time”
If we just gave it our all at earning money, it would still take us at least a year to earn it
There's a guarantee that so that period
Carelessly dropping our wallet for example
”The second Enter a labyrinth and find a ic itele trip we can earn a considerable amount of money”
Magic crystals sell for a high price
I can't say in specific how ave it to the official at the check point, I'h to allow the Superd race to travel
”Labyrinth! That sounds good! Let's go!”
”No way”
Ruijerd rejected the labyrinth option
”Why?!”
”Labyrinths are dangerous I can't see through traps with my eye as well”
Even though Ruijerd's eye will react to living things, it won't work at all for traps made in a labyrinth it seems
”Even though on't know unless we try?”
”I was the one who suggested it, but I don't want to go either”
If we proceed carefully, we could probably e it soh attention to his feet, somewhere I would most likely make a fatal mistake
This is where we need to listen to Ruijerd's advice
”Third option We look around this city for a sler”
”Sler? What's that?”
”In places like this where people cross a border, they transport things across in return for a fee In such examples like in our case where we're forced to pay absurd prices Most likely, if it were a merchant, they could transport it for a lower price”
”Is that the case?”
”That's the case”
If that weren't the case, then each species wouldn't have a different price
”A as transported publicly, there are people ill transport it for a cheaper price”
Well, it's also possible there aren't any
However, if we try talking to some merchants around here, I'm sure we could find soreen coins either way
The price set at the checkpoint is clearly strange
If we violate the rules just a bit, it shouldn't be too much retribution
No no, I can't think like that
If we try to take the easy route out, there will be a pitfall
I've already learned that through experience
For the most part I've included it as an option, but we should try to avoid doing anything bad as much as possible
For the ti, those three are all that I can think of
Legitmoney
Get rich quick from a labyrinth
Ask an underground merchant
None of the options are very good
Ah, that's right
There was one more method
I could sell , Akuahatia]
Putting loss and gain aside I really don't want to consider the option of selling this
It was so I received on my birthday from Eris
I've used it preciously until today
I'o
However, this could be the best method
That night I had a vision
Hitogami said
”Buy some food from a stall and then search alone in the back alleyways”
And
Since I have no other ive it a try
”Is it ano other means?”
No, well, buying food, and going into a back alleyway, I already understood it was that sort of event
”You understand it?”
It's that right, there will be soht?
Then they will soht?
”That's exactly right, a!”
Then, after I save that child, it will becorandchild of the shi+pbuilding guild head or soht?
”Fufufu, that is so to look forward to for tomorrow”
What is there to enjoy myself about it
There wasn't even a single one of those enjoyable developments up until now
Rather, hey you! It's been a year since we last talked you know!
Look, I was just starting to feel relieved that you would never show your face before ain
”Well~ , didn't you get into a bit of a troublesome incident because of my advice last time? It was just a bit difficult to show my face after that”
Ha!
So, even God has times like that
However, don't be mistaken
That was my own personal mistake
Though, incidentally, I would like you to tellwould have been the correct answer
”Even if you say correct answer, if you had just nor with Ruijerd as well”
Eh? Was it that sort of simple event?
”That's right If you had just become allies with them, then Nokopara wouldn't have had his eyes on you Really it was outside of h in my own opinion, it was pretty fun to watch”
Inone bit at all
”However, thanks to that, you ht?”
