It's about time for us to stop working in the dining hall, it's getting hard for us.
Thinking such things while selling lunch boxes, master Aldo unexpectedly came to me.
“Huh(Are)? Master is also going to have a lunch box too?”
It seems that potato bun doesn't fill a dwarf's stomach.
Usually, they buy a large amount of bacon, a dish that I cooked in the morning fried with potatoes.
So they rarely come to buy a lunch box.
“No, I've something to do with missy today.”
“Me?”
“With Yu-nee?”
Well, it's as predicted.
Aldo-san comes directly to me most of the time if he is short on materials.
Whether the clay has run out or –
“Actually, the wood is not enough”
“Oh, that reminds me …….”
A month ago, before the first team arrived, I left a lot of timber on the grassland.
And the amount is about 100.
But last month, Aldo-san is building cottages for the adventurers to stay, as a result, it's probably been used up.
And while there are people here, I can't use my inventory.
In other words, in order to resupply the wood, it's necessary to take it by hand directly from the labyrinth.
Of course, it's troublesome, so recently I haven't resupplied the woods.
“That, it's troublesome right?”
“I’m sorry. I wish I could get it…..”
“Right now, most of the adventurers are only able to descend to the second layers, right? Then, replenishing wood in the third layers is quite difficult.”
“We could manage somehow if it's just firewood”
Firewood is essential for human life.
This wood is available in the second layers with a larger amount that is obtained from Elder treant.
Because the guild is also buying firewood so far, firewood won't be on short in the village.
“When it comes to construction use, I won't go well either.”
“In the first place, providing cottages for adventurers is a lot of waste”
“At first it seems the guild was taking a rental fee, but there's no inn here.”
“Miss, do you want to run an inn?”
“Please don't say something unreasonable”
I'm already very busy just by selling lunch boxes, running an item store, and serving the adventurers in the dining hall.
There's no way I can run an inn here.
In the first place when it comes to an inn, isn't it impossible to resupply if I've to open an inn?
As soon I stop being an adventurer, all the lifelines like fruits, beef, timber, salt, fish and milk will be cut off.
Of course, it could be managed somewhat with trade …… but the expenses will be increased.
“Well, that's of course. Leave it as it is.”
“I think that Hill-san also thought about that”
He did say that they were inviting people to immigrate.
If there quite a few chefs and merchants who want to have a store, I would be relieved a little.
And if the adventurers can reach the third layers, they will be able to bring fruit and timber.
I will endure until that day comes.
Besides, right now I need money.
Even though five percent of the resources produced from the labyrinth will be given to me, but right now the payment is insignificant because there only a few adventurers in this village.
I can't reach my goal to move from here, let Alicia go to school, and set up a house in a town.
I think that Alicia needs friends of the same age besides me.
I also need education, and most of all I want to see a normal woman's behavior and remember them.
There are women here as well, but they are female adventurers at the end, so there are some points that are missing.
Rudis-san is an ideal woman for that … but it is better to have a better example.
I also want Alicia to see and learn about femininity.
For her, the most familiar woman is me, so Alicia's behavior is very…… boyish.
Of course, Alicia is very cute, but it's only a child's loveliness, not as a woman.
If you grow up like me, you might become a very defenseless child.
I'm very concerned about it now.
“Well, it’s been a month since I came here. It's about time the second team will come.”
“Let me see. Then, why not make a new hut for an inn rather than cottage?”
“As I said the wood is not enough”
“I see. Even if I bring the wood, I can't carry a lot at once…”
“Then, shall I lend you cart for transport?”
“Ah, are you sure?”
Transporting equipment is also an important tool for Aldo-san.
Won't lending it to adventurers who frequently fight with monsters quite risky……?
“I don't mind. I'm the one who asked it”
“Understood, then we'll go to collect lumber today.”
Thus we decided to go to the third layers today.
The large cart borrowed from Aldo-san had a structure that was divided into two parts.
It has a structure that one of them is attached to the end of the cart, and the other one is tied to the opposite side and pulled.
For the time being, I brought the cart with Alicia until the labyrinth entrance.
Since at the time we depart the morning has passed, there are no one around. After checking the surroundings, I stored the cart in the item inventory.
“Mumu …”
“What's wrong?”
“No, this cart is heavy”
Basically, I thought there is no item in Midgard Online able to store more than 1 weight, but this cart had 100 weight. [TN: let's make the weight to kilos, it's much better I think?]
It's not that heavy with my physical strength, but … I don't understand the law.
“Well, whatever. With this, my movement won't be restricted. Alicia too, be careful from here onwards okay?”
“Un”
Alicia had a stick and a torch in her hand.
The reason for having a torch is that there is a possibility that if she was wearing the crown of Holy Fire, it will attract people.
An item that illuminates the surroundings just by wearing it on your head is very much useful.
Therefore it's not bad to be vigilant.
Since Alicia can also use inventory, we decided to use it. If we get into battle you just need to take cover and pick it up.
Her inventory is faster than mine, so it is suitable for such work.
“Well then, let's go. Because it’s darker than usual, be careful with the surroundings.”
“Got it”
Today’s weapon is not the usual Kunitsuna, but it is a two-handed sword called Stormblade, which focuses on attack speed.
This is to increase movement speed, and I also brought other equipment with autocast to make it more effective.
As expected autocast equipment indeed stands out, but the attack speed with this equipments are unrivaled.
Just by equipping this, Yumir can reach the attack speed limit.
Its speed, made ten attacks per second.
Can't be seen by the eyes, and slashing like a storm.
The attack power is considerably inferior, but with this speed, it should be enough.
As we went further, a sound of clashing swords from the front can be heard.
It seems that other parties are fighting.
The stairway is ahead, so we watched the battle until it's over.
About four people were fighting a Shadow Wolf at a passage ahead.
“Alicia, let’s not get in the way”
“Yeah, is it all right?”
“Hmm? Well, I guess it’s okay. They seem quite strong too.”
Although there are still plenty of distances, but the formation, nor a person has fallen. [TN: distances with his skills]
They seem to be suppressing enemies steadily and subjugating it.
Suddenly I heard recovery magic being shoot from the shadow.
“A, are(huh) …….”
“Hmm?”
“No, nothing. Un.”
“Ah, it's the brother from yesterday!”
The shadow reacted to Alicia’s voice.
Ah, it would be better if you didn't notice it!
“Ah, perhaps …… Yumir-san!?”
“Oy, Charon! Don't look away, you are still in battle!”
“Yes, sorry!”
As expected, it's him? Let’s slip through before it becomes troublesome.
The battle is going as smoothly as it is, Shadow Wolves are going to be subjugated soon.
After the battle ended, Charon began to run toward us. Don't come.
“Yumir, why are you here!”
“No, I'm also an adventurer, I'm going to go down.”
“A woman like you … no, it will be okay if it's you”
“That’s why. I would like to proceed if I could? Besides the battle haven't finished yet “
From behind him, Yege-san let out a sigh.
“As that girl said. Adventurers finished the battle after subjugating the enemies, finished looting and checking the safety of the surroundings. And what more, to run to a woman without doing that, what is this about?”
“Sorry, I’ll do it now.”
Scolded by the leader, Yaju-san hurriedly dismantles the Shadow Wolf’s fur.
As expected wolf meat is very smelly, even the guild won't buy it.
However, the strong durable fur has a high demand as a mantle, and the fangs can be also used for accessories at a reasonable price.
In Hill-san's story, it seems that Shadow Wolves are so unique that it rarely showed in the labyrinth, so it seems to have become a special product.
“It was Yumir-chan”
“Yes. To be called with chan, it's horrible.”
“Then …I'm sorry, do you mind I call you Yumir-san?”
“Yes, I'm more comfortable with that”
Yaju-san speaks while smiling.
Carving a wild face, that looks like it just had been roughly scraped off.
“I'm sorry about last time. I can't do anything about it. Just a little, but this is the reward from that. It may be impolite to try cleaning up things by money, but there's nothing else I can give you.” [TN: If you forget, it's the event that happened at cp 30]
“It’s fine. I didn't help for the reward anyway. Besides, as for me, it’s better for everyone to become stronger with that money and move on.”
“Even so …….”
“Rather please proceed. Otherwise, you will be carrying a log like right now”
If they go to the third layers, they will be able to do the lumber collection request.
If that happens, my burden will be reduced, and the kickback of the resource will also benefit me.
“Ah, come to think of it, you were the owner of this place …… that’s right, rather pushing the reward forcibly, I can contribute to you more with that.”
“It's good if you understand”
“Then, we also have to train our skill and move on, for that …”
“It's necessary to make “That” person to be a full-fledged person.”
That said while looking at Charon who was dismantling the wolf.
Until that's ready …… looks like the destination is still long.
“Well, please do your best”
“O, Oh ……”
“Then I'll excuse myself because there is a request”
“Oo, be careful”
“You too”
Somehow I had wasted time in vain…… I felt anxious about the future while heading to the lower layer.
