The addition of "Shieldsman" to Job 3 increases the status corrections for defense and magic defense by one level.

The addition of a new job will ensure those status corrections are duplicated.

The MP bonus will also be duplicated. The MP bonus for "Interferer" + "Swordsman" was 12, but now it is 14 for "Shieldman".

Well, I knew it but hadn't ruled out the possibility that "Interferer" had 0 MP from the start even if it was a default, but this confirms everything about it.

The MP bonus would become duplicated. So the MP bonus is my strength.

With the exception of magic jobs, the initial MP usually seems to be about 2.

I think that's a pretty serious number, but I don't have any skills to use initially, so maybe that's not a problem.

I can use skills from all jobs, too.

This is also, well, it's something I knew.

Does "shield enhancement" increase the shield's defense?

The fact that it's not "slightly stronger" or something like that, which is common in level 1 skills for combat jobs, adds to the mystery.

It's not a job that makes the attack stronger, so I wonder if the skill structure will be different again.

I guess it's called a tank job.

The status corrections are defense and magic defense, which is just like that. It's very promising.

I wonder if I can get a skill to strengthen the shield bash.

The reason I chose 'Shield Warrior' is simply because I will definitely use a shield in the dire situation.

I have a brand new wooden spear in virtual space, but I don't plan to use it, so it's basically useless for me right now.

The rest is a magic gun for emergency use. I'm thinking of using both of them together with my shield.

Except for "Interferer", there are two jobs that can be set up.

It would be interesting to have one as an attacker and the other as a defender. It's an offensive and defensive job structure that most people in this world can't do.

I'm a little concerned about the otherworldly people like me who say they were sent elsewhere.

If they are also making use of "interferers", depending on what they do in the future, there is a fear that there will be a leak of information from them or a conflict of interest… it's a possibility, right?

At least at this point in time, there's no point in having a conflict, and if you believe the white-haired girl, it seems that other otherworldly people aren't living properly or have got killed while hunting monsters.

It's a bit of a problem if otherworlders, who have settled down in their lives, start looking for the same otherworlders in the future, but... well, let's just get rid of the problem, with all our might.

Now is not the time for that, it's time to make money and hunt for goblins.

"You're going to eat the ironclad sword + shield job configuration!"

Saying that I beat up any stray goblins I encounter.

It's really starting to feel like I am smashing them down rather than sputtering and cutting them down. I can crush the enemy with my mass power.

If a person is aware of the voice of the last warning that the goblins squealed at the battle site earlier, he is surely taking a detour to see if there might be an ambush.

"However, there is a risk that this could be read as well," Elliot said.

Because the Lord of the Goblin Pack, the monster called 'Lord of the Goblins' as it is, has that much wisdom.

"I'm sure it dove as deep as it did a while ago, but there's no sign of the flock. It's best to assume that we're being warned."

Elliot muttered while brushing away the bushes with his sword.

It's possible that the army from earlier was one of the main forces of the pack, but they usually leave some forces in the village when they create a new pack.

He said that we should assume that there are at least as many left as there were earlier.

Earlier, the traps set by Patch were successful, and now it looks even more dangerous if we attack from here...

Let's do our best not to die.

"Eliot, stop. I can feel the wind flowing...maybe there's an open spot."

Marie was on to something.

So Elliot, Marie, and Patch went around to scout out the area and I was to escort Trisiera to her current location.

Trisiera seemed to choose a tree with a thicker trunk to climb and keep a vigil with her bow from above.

Hmm, I guess I'm going to be the first to die with this group, let's do our best to break the flag and then proceed.

"Trisiera, I'm not going to marry you when this quest is over."

"Oh, yeah? Are you going to marry me?"

"Yeah. I would never do that."

"Yeah. ...so?"

"No, it makes sense to declare it. You might as well say it, Trisiera, that you are not going to marry Elliot."

"I'm not thinking of marrying Eliot and ... he's my master. And that's none of your business."

"Oh, no. Oh, well."

What happened to the death flag? Once again, it doesn't come up that often.

Let me handle this one! Or else I'd die and then... yeah 'Game Over'.

Trisiera will take care of it despite it being a tough assignment to keep me alive if I ever stepped on a death flag.

Oops, this is not the time to feel defeated. I'm a bit faint-hearted, so I'll be ready to take out my magic gun at any time.

While I kept putting one hand in the virtual space to avoid being exposed under my clothes, Marie returned after about 30 minutes.

She's not in a hurry, so there's no indication that the enemy is heading our way.

''How did it go?''

I whisper. I think I'm finally going to be able to get my hands out of the virtual space.

"Is Eli back yet? We split off in different directions along the way…" [A.N - For those of you who are wondering, Eli means 'Elliot']

"Are you planning to meet up here?"

"Yeah. I'm not getting anything. But I think there's something around here but I'm only half guessing."

But until now, it was rare for Marie's intuition to be off.

Maybe it's not just a hunch, but a well-founded hunch based on empirical memory. That kind of intuition often comes true.

"You'll be able to find out if it's a good idea. Well, let's see."

Marie visibly spotted Elliot heading this way from a distance.

Patch is following close behind.

As expected, he doesn't let anyone but Marie act alone. I'm sure he's worried about her.

"Eli, how are you doing? The harvest is warm."

"It was perfect. I found what I think is a settlement. I left a couple of simple traps with the help of Patch."

"Wow! Great, I didn't have to waste my time. What's the distance? Is it far?"

"No, not really. If we hurry, we'll be there in five minutes or so. Shall we do it?"

"I don't know."

Marie looks over at the rest of the group.

Neither Patch nor Trisiera would comment.

If Elliot is willing to do this, he's not going to object.

"Well, I'm good too. I'm going to work a lot more decently than I did earlier."

This isn't a death flag, is it? Right? [A.N - A death flag is a term which usually comes up in Japanese RPGs, which means to be in a situation where you can feel death is close]

All right, let��s not kill the spirit. If we can sweep the whole nest, we'll make more money than I could ever hope to make by solo leveling up. Maybe I'll even get a nice bounty. This is the bonus point of the game, yo' boy!

Yeah, well I can't be a harem man like Eliot if I don't step forward because I'm scared. I'll show you the man in here.

Huh? It's starting to feel like a flag...well, fuck it.

The Goddess of Destiny only smiles on those who challenge her.

Wise words. I just made them up.

"Are the roles the same as they were in the morning? Or are you planning something special?"

"Hmmm, if we get into an encounter, so much for this one, you'll be on the right side playing defense. Be resourceful."

"Yeah, I'll remain highly flexible and resourceful,"

"If we can get to the front of the settlement unnoticed, I'd like to narrow down their path while setting up a Patch trap and, if possible, ambush them from the first surprise attack."

"It's a long shot, but I'm hoping that we can set up a trap to prevent a counterattack. Yohei, I want you out of sight as much as you can."

Marie orders me around.

But I've never really learned the art of distraction or anything like that.

I'll take that as a learning experience.

"Just give me a few minutes before we go in, even ten minutes, no five minutes is okay. Marie, can you at least give me some pointers?"

"Come to think of it, you've been getting all sorts of information from the party, stealing all sorts of techniques, and you haven't paid any particular price for it."

"I'm sorry."

"When you get ahead, I'll give you something great."

"That's all right. But rather than fail, let's take a break and see what happens. Yohei, why don't you just do what you think you're supposed to do and get rid of all the distractions? The area is full of goblins."

"Is that the setup?"

"Well, yeah. But it's actually one of those situations."

"Indeed. I'll just walk through the grass over there for now."

From there, Marie taught me for five minutes, or maybe ten minutes more, and she drilled me in the basics of how to move my feet, how to be conscious about my surroundings, how to breathe without making noise, and so on, in rapid succession.

The wisdom of an experienced person is amazing, after all.

Even with that alone, it became a pretty covert way of moving...maybe.

"Now, let's get going. I've found the route, the location of the trap, and the point of attack, and I've pinpointed it all for you, so please follow behind me without breaking formation. Yohei-kun?"

"Name-calling. Well, I'm the main culprit. That's right. I'll follow you, leader."

"Mm."

"Yohei, handsome. A handsome man who drives women crazy in the slums!"

"Mm-hmm."

"Don't be stupid."

We began to move in the usual arrow-like formation of Elliot, Marie, and I on either side, Patch in the back, and finally Trisiera, with a narrowing of the sides.

Elliott is tenser than I've ever seen him before, paving the way as he stomps away with each step.

Marie really doesn't make a sound. She seems to be walking so quickly, but I wonder what gravity is doing to her.

Both Patch and Trisiera are moving much more smoothly than I am. Patch has a small body, to begin with, and it would be hard to notice her if she's oblivious to me.

Is there a covert system with jobs?

I'm pretty sure the job of a scout or something like that was in the book.

''...''

Elliot stops and directs Patch with eye contact, and a quick trap is set. Here we go. She's already planning on sparingly scattering the rest of what she has on hand.

In addition to the trapezius, she also stretched long and thin pieces of what looked like barbed wire and even created a simple pit.

Amazing, Patch.

It seems that they are trying to make a trap zone on their left, right, and rear so that they can't get around.

But it also makes it difficult to retreat.

Isn't that what you call a backwater?

I'm a little scared, but I can't go back now.

Elliot turned around again, put his index finger to his mouth, and then looked forward again.

It's a 'quiet' gesture that existed in this world, too.

I climbed up a slight slope and peered down and saw that the basin-like area which seemed to be maintained as a goblin settlement.

There was the shadow of a creeping creature moving about.

10...maybe 20 of them.

The five of us naturally move closer together and begin the final strategy meeting at the minimum volume of voice they can hear.

[A.N - I am sorry I didn't do this sooner but I think some dialogues were hard to follow so I am using brackets to denote the person who is speaking it (when there are more than two speakers in a scene)* from now onwards. ]

"How many goblins are there? I don't think it's less than 20 just because I can see it." (Marie)

"There's about 30 to 40 enemies. Some of them will be out in the vicinity. There are two scouts and one mage. I don't see any leaders or masters in sight yet." (Trisiera)

"That's a manageable number. It's time to show them what we're really about. Look, Patch will attack first with her magic tool and I'll jump out of the way. Marie is a free agent. Trisiera is my backup. Yohei-kun, you'll be guarding Patch and Trisiera in the back." (Elliot)

"Is that what you want?" (Me)

"Of course, you can join us when the enemy is at a certain point. First, we'll see what these guys are made of." (Elliot)

"I see. If the wrong rearguard is attacked, everything will fall apart. Okay, I'll take care of it." (Me)

"You're on it. I'll draw the enemy to you and you'll cover me when I have to." (Elliot)

Everyone nodded.

Elliot leaped into the center of the settlement, and Marie seemed to have a policy of slaughtering the back, the entrance, and the returning enemies.

Elliot's seriousness, I'll have to let you see it with your own eyes to believe it. These guy is no dense carefree forever-fated-to-be-nice-guy-virgin-and-get-cucked-by-golddiggers guy. When he's serious… let's just say you wouldn't want to left alone in his vicinity.

Elliot checked his equipment and started counting down with just his fingers.

It's time. My heart is about to jump out of my chest but I've also lifted the ban on Job 3. This isn't the time to stand still here!

All fingers were clasped tight, and as Elliot raised his hand, Patch threw something at him.

(Is that.....a bomb? You've got some egregious stuff, Patch...)

Trisiera held her bow still and didn't move. Patch thought she'd released another object into the distance, and then her vision was obstructed by a puff of smoke.

A smokescreen. If it's a surprise attack with a small number of people, would that be a factor in our favor?

The goblins in the central square of the settlement begin to make a lot of noise.

One by one, the goblins come out of what looks like a house as well.

Then, Elliot fires his light blade at them.

After the first shot, he shoots a number of them anyway, without a tamper.

Rather than causing real damage, he's trying to cause confusion. Your opponent will hesitate, thinking he's been attacked by many.

The smokescreen begins to be dispelled by an unnatural wind.

At the back of it, a goblin with a staff is wavering his staff.

Is it wind magic?

Elliot's light blade pierces the goblin merge.

It's the right decision. And the movement is not stagnant.

Elliot rushes into the collapsed goblin defense network with his whole body glowing.

It's conspicuous, but that thing is scary if it gets hit.

You might think you can't win with that rare light effect but boy it's effects are scary.

By the time the chaos of the goblins had subsided, the first twenty goblins I saw had sunk into a sea of blood.

Goblin reinforcements seemed to be coming one by one from the back.

I could hear Trisiera firing arrow after arrow at them from the sound.

Patch didn't notice them during the previous battle, but it seems that she also has some kind of skill to fly them at a distance.

She's applying a bit of magic to Elliot at the front line.

Recovery?

If a shiny guy like that slashed into me while instantly recovering from his wounds, I'd think he was a monster.

What can I say...the "Flower Warrior" is amazing.

I mean, is Elliot great at making effective use of that prominent skill?

Since there aren't even any enemies leaking from the front, I lightly scout behind and to the side. There's no sign of an enemy.

"The traps aren't moving, and the enemy doesn't seem to be behind us. Can we move forward?"

I ask Patch, who is gazing at the battle situation.

''Well that's right. It seems that Marie-san is becoming more available, and her guard should be fine, just in case. As expected, Elliot-sama seems to be getting tougher and tougher enemies, so please go help him."

"Good. Duly noted. Sometimes, is the magic you shoot healing one? If you have an auxiliary system, I'd like to have it hung up too."

"It's mainly for recovery. It's no problem for you, as I'll multiply it by itself. Go ahead and ramp-up to your heart's content."

Was it fatigue recovery?

Well that's it… .A glowing warrior who doesn't stop moving.

And he has a nice smile on his face. Yeah, it's scary.

He grabs his sword and kicks down to the basin with his shield at the ready.

I shove the normal or scout who is trying to get behind Elliot from the side.

With the shield.

Without killing his momentum, he crushes another goblin with his sword.

Mmmm, the surprise attack worked out nicely.

Elliot is confronted with a big-bodied goblin and several elite-looking goblin groups while being wrapped in a smokescreen.

There seems to be a couple of Mages, too, and they are actively burning Elliot, but the fire goes out while Elliot is unfazed by the hits.

A skill? Or is that what happens when the magic defense is high?

The leader deploying left and right looks annoying.

Elliot is defending brilliantly, but he's becoming quite outnumbered by the deco goblins and the left and right pincers.

He's hunting the normals around him and messing with the leader on the left.

His defense and demon defense corrections have gone up a notch, and even if he takes a few attacks from the normal goblins, he shouldn't die.

I prioritize pulling the leader away from Elliot.

Sure enough, he manages to thrust into the leader, despite being hit and slashed several times by the normal on the way.

But he's guarded by a shield as hard as he can.

This guy's got a shield too, that's just the way I fight!

I beat the normal goblins away while circling around in a circle.

These guys don't jump in, so they can't take care of them all at once… as expected of the main unit.

Arrows will occasionally fly into the normals and reduce their numbers, so even with the opponents' reinforcements, there will be only three to five of them.

It's a bad idea if they go to the rear guard, but as long as they're aiming at me, I'll be fine.

There doesn't seem to be any archers on the other side. They weren't even in the previous party, and I wonder if they haven't made a thing called a bow?

I managed to do battle with the leader while keeping the normal in check.

I guess he thought I was completely easy to give credit to, and the leader has completely moved away from Elliot.

I don't have time to watch him slowly, but I guess that makes it easier?

I don't want that part to fall apart.

At worst, I was thinking of kicking the normals out with the magic gun, but I can hear Marie's voice, and I'm holding the line. It seems to have been done. Then it's not the stage to push it.

Well, in a way, we're pushing it.

We're going to be surrounded and we're going to be able to take out the leader while he's in check. This is our current mission.

I'm going to set up at a time when the number of normals is decreasing, but even though I have better physical strength than them, they've been able to pass it off well.

And he's trying to wear me out. Correct.

The enemy's goblin leader is, in a way, a lot like me. Their first priority is to avoid taking decisive blows from their opponents, and they are cautious at best, and languid at worst.

My opponent is also unable to give me a decision while surrounding me.

Well, that's largely due to the presence of Trisiera and Marie, who are covering me from behind.

I'm not even out of breath from earlier, and I feel like my wounds are healing when I notice them, so they've done a lot of patching and I know they're in there. Thank goodness.

But the MP in Patch's body shouldn't be infinite either.

I've been supporting Elliot since the beginning of the war, so it wouldn't be surprising if he ran out of MP at any time.

If this continues, I'll be the one dragging my feet again. I need to make a decision as soon as possible.

The three normals that were trying to come around from the left fell down at once.

It's not just Trisiera's arrows… .is it Marie's throwing sword?

Take advantage of this moment.

We step in at once. However, because of this, the leader pulls back his body with caution.

Even if he swings his sword like this, he'll be swept away by the shield and sword again successfully and he'll be back to normal. Phase 2.

My hands are hunched over I feel like I've seen this situation on TV, you know?

Oh, that. I don't know when it was the Rugby World Cup, but I was trying to figure out how to avoid a guy who was trying to tackle me, so that he could take me down (In a videogame ofc… what did you expect? A NEET who was a Rugby Player LOLOLOL). The players were faltering about whether they could do it....

Let's try it.

I lower myself and hold up my shield. I take a big step forward while holding out my sword.

My opponent reads the timing and twists his body and plays with his shield.

It doesn't matter. That's not the real deal. I continue to step in the next foot and lower my stance further.

The goal is a leg. The weapon is his arm!

I defended from my opponent's sword with my shield as I swing down, and send his body falling as it is, but firmly kicking his legs behind him as he flies.

I scoop up the leg as if to hug it and pull it in at once.

It hurts as I too hit the ground.

But the opponent was completely caught off guard and fell from his waist to the ground.

The weapon I can use now is ...shield!

I swing my shield down near the opponent's face. It's guarded.

He doesn't care if he swings down. And he does swings it down.

The goblin screams at the shield's successive blows, shattering his entire guard.

Good, I've been waiting to hear your voice!

The sword was let go as I dove in. I hit it with my free right hand. Kicking while getting up. Stepping on it.

Then, gaining momentum, I swing my shield down at his face.

Swinging down, swinging down, hitting and kicking.

When the resistance has gradually weakened, I suddenly become calm and pretend to have my hands on my hips and hold the knife from the different space in the right hand.

After sinking it firmly into its chest, the goblin stopped moving as if he had given up.

Without being caught off guard, I stab the knife in the neck as well with a perilous stab to stop it.

Phew, that's a relief. I looked up.

The other people who had defeated the enemy were observing me with a bit of a drawback.

''....Ah. You, why are you acting like a berserker like that when it comes to battle?''(Marie)

What? I am not all like this. I'm just fighting like it's my life on the line.

"I can't afford to be less serious about this. If I raise my arm, can I do it as brilliantly as Elliott?" (Me)

"Huh, that's an auspicious gesture. But I don't think my brilliance is something that can be duplicated by anyone else, but don't let that put you off, will you? " (Elliot)

Yeah, it's a relief that Elliot seems to be back to normal now.

I mean, while I was wrestling with the leader, the rest of the leader and the goblin lord were overthrown as well. You've done it. You're a hamper, Elliott.

I was flattered and surprised for once today.

"I don't think we'll have any more big reinforcements, but there may be some parties out there. Let's keep our guard up and handle it." (Elliot)

"How would you handle it?" (Me)

"Burn this house down if you can. Make sure it can't be reused. There's gonna be others in there. We're gonna find them and we're gonna kill them. That's a cruel thing to do. But kill the kids too. All right, we'll split up and look inside."

I rolled up the cloth at the entrance to the house I'd been assigned to, and the squeaky, miniature goblins and the colored goblins appeared threatened. These were the female and her baby goblins?

I use my shield to catch the attacks and make sure to crush their heads one by one. It's a bit pathetic, but it doesn't come to my mind as much as I thought it would.

Come to think of it, I wasn't particularly emotional when I first defeated the goblins that were humanoid, either. ...Am I this kind of person?

I've seen documentaries about how some of the soldiers who have killed people have PTSD... but conversely, all but a small percentage of them have come home unscathed.

It doesn't mean they're any less ethical or worse people than those who have been traumatized. No. I was just on the right side of things.

I ended up thinking about it.

As we moved on to our third house visit, I found something creeping around in the back of the house.

Is it a goblin?

I carefully peeled off the cloth and quietly held my sword up to observe... A person, or so I thought.

''Umm… what....?''

She was dirty, but probably a reasonably young girl, and she was naked. The vines tied around her neck were tied to the pillars of the building, which made me imagine that she had been locked up here.

"Are you all right? Were you kidnapped by a goblin?"

"What?"

The girl looked at me.

''Ki… Kyah!"

Why did she scream? It sounds like I'm in the wrong.

"Sorry, but we're in enemy territory and I can't promise to look away or anything like that. There's a lady in the party. I'll get her."

"Well, wait ... I'm sorry ... um ... party? Are you guys adventurers?"

"...Adventurer? I'm a private contractor."

I left her saying that to get the others.

"Yeah, yeah. All right, get the girl up here." (Elliot)

"I'd better do a quick safety check first, though. Do you want me to take the neck thing off at least?" (Trisiera)

"Yeah, yeah. Yeah." (The girl)

She approached the girl and tried to put her sword against the ivy that is being used as a collar, but it won't cut. If you try to remove it, it's difficult because it might choke you.

"Sorry, I don't know how to get it off. Wait here for a bit longer."

The woman looked disappointed, but she still didn't say anything in particular, as if she didn't want to be left naked in this house.

"I found one human girl. She's tied up with a collar or something like that, can one of the women go and remove it?" (Trisiera)

Trisiera said to the other members who have gathered a while later. They didn't seem to find anything weird except for me.

"A girl? Then I'll go with the three of us." (Patch)

"Yes, please. We'll keep a lookout out there." (Me)

"Being held by a goblin. That's an unfortunate girl…"

Elliot looked down.

He's got a bit of a feminist streak, you know.

...Well, he's surrounded by sex slaves, though.

After waiting for a good hour while dealing with the goblins that had returned on the way, etc., the women finally returned.

Next to them, I could see a girl walking over clad in the cloak that Marie was wearing, looking down as she took each step.

It wouldn't be a good place to ask what happened, so I guess the situation is over for now.

''I'll tell you the situation later, but for now, I've decided to take this girl back to the city."

Marie explained, indicating the girl with her eyes.

"She says her name is Aawinda. Is Arda okay?" (Marie)

"Yes, that's fine. Thank you for your help." (The Girl)

Aawinda bowed her head firmly. Whoa, I watched it blankly, thinking that bowing is a habit.

The way back was a bit slower pace since Aawinda was there. If the goblins are there, we'll take the shortest possible route south, taking a detour.

In the middle of this, Marie explained to me that Aawinda was a good little lady who had traveled from the west to rely on her relatives.

But apparently she was about to enter Slag from the north when she was attacked by bandits and her guards were scattered. [A.N - Sorry I have been mistyping the city's name as Slurge, Slarge, Slurge in previous chapter. I am really sorry about that. But I am too lazy to go to the drafts of previous chapters and look for the city's name and replace it. So please don't hate me for it and it's "Slag" i.e the name of the city]

So she went into the forest and tried to escape by scattering her pursuers, but she found that it was a goblin forest.

The warrior who had followed her was killed by the goblins, and she was handed over to the village and kept in captivity.

"Who else was held captive?" (Elliot)

"No one else." (The girl)

"Well, it's a new settlement. So you just happened to be the first casualty?" (Elliot)

Elliot comforted her with a light hug on her shoulder.

And that girl was screaming at me for just meeting her, and now she is allowing him to do that. Wtf?

This is the "but only for handsome guys (including the atmosphere)" thing? Damn.

''The bandits...moved in because they thought the Slag was tasty due to the goblins' increased price, or maybe they wanted to take advantage of the warrior group's shortage...Either way, it's just the result of a combination of misfortune with the bandits, the proliferation of goblins, new nests, and misfortune..'' (Elliot)

"...Yes." (The girl)

"What happens to the girl who is captured by the goblins?" (Me)

"I mean, she's the daughter of a good family, but the fact that she was captured by the goblins make it more difficult to get engaged?" (Elliot)

"Oh, or should we just cover up that fact?" (Me)

"Huh?" (Elliot)

He's not gonna cover his mouth, is he?

He gives me the creeps sometimes.

"I have to ask you the unthinkable but what do you think is going to happen if you go home? If you want to pretend the goblins didn't get you, we'd be willing to talk about it." (Elliot)

Aawinda gulped with a huff, then slowly opened her mouth.

''Well, that's true. I have to think about those things, but...We're not a nobleman, so I thought it was okay. I think so. In any case, I will not do anything to hinder everyone who has saved me."

We spent the night just outside the forest that day, and the next day we kept the battle with the goblins to a minimum, escorting her back.

Before we entered the city, Marie and the others preceded us and got Aawinda's clothes together. Then we all entered the city again.

Since it's not a day trip, we pay one silver coin each.

Tch.

I decided to leave Aawinda to Elliott, Marie and the others and follow them a bit behind.

Worst case scenario, if they're about to be wiped out, do I run away?

I don't know where but it's time to start thinking about living in another world.

Would it be fun to move my base of operations?

For today, Marie was going to escort Aawinda to her relative's house, and I left her at the gate.

Since the priority, this time was to take care of Aawinda, and since there were enemies that I had defeated alone, it was decided to divide the materials among me.

The rest could be redeemed by each of them.

In the meantime, I was tired, so I sent some miscellaneous materials to virtual space and took a hotel.

Mmm, that sounds good, doesn't it? Agility has gone up a notch, and the overall level of agility has increased. (Well, a little bit.)

After making sure that nothing else had changed, I folded the status and enjoyed the feel of the bed for the first time in a while, and found himself falling asleep pretty quickly.
