The group left the river logistics city of Baase.
　At once, they headed for Medrio, a town at the southern end of the Alp Guard Country....

I feel sick. There are too many curves in this country, too many grades.

Do you mind?　Ryota-sama's magic power is stored in his liver. He used his magic power all at once by drilling a hole in the cliff and doburoku at the launch. Your liver is screaming.　I don't want to waste my etiquette bag, so please get up on the car.

　To put it simply, I'm suffering from a triple whammy of magic sickness, hangover and car sickness. But I had it coming because I was drinking till morning at the farewell party with the workers at the Barzee, so I had it coming. And it's just painful and not life-threatening. So I was relegated to the roof of the armored car for being a nuisance.

'Not much ... it's sunny, but this time the sun hurts, and the shijimi boil is not good either.'

　Midia made me some herb-infused shijimi soup. I heard it works, but the taste was out of the question...

　My body enhancement is a fuel-efficient version with an energy-saving rating of maybe 5 or higher. It's a typical Japanese cheat. But it's only a modification surgery, so the total amount of magic power is small, but the recovery is slow.

　I got used to the area and the recovery speed went up, but it's only about 3%, so there's no difference. Because the magic reserve is close to empty, it's expected that it will take about a week to recover naturally. I'm going to take in the magical elements in the atmosphere with my breath and turn them into magical power without any pressure.

It's going to be a vacation to recover magic power even after arriving in town. The side effects of the nuclear potion may cause it to turn into a demon.

　In case you're wondering, I'm currently on schedule to recover 7 more 35mm main gun rounds from refueling. It's a good level to leave them in the first place, because they're not very good to start with.

　And, the projectile is primitive in its manufacturing process, and the hemp and wood did not fully recover even after 20 days of production. Still, it's 75% of our planned stockpile, and we're loaded with hemp yarn and can manufacture armored vehicles, so it's an afterthought.

　However, the window flowers are obsessed with the Type 79 adhesive guided munitions. They're so big that it's hard to get a chance to replenish them. So he proposes to wait at the border town and urge them to come back.

If I insist, Sagume-sama will force herself with her underpants again and if I insist... I want you to stop using that method because if you find out, you will lose a lot of things, but is Tengaku-sama conscious of being a goddess?

　So, suffering from car sickness, we arrived in the border town of Medrio three days later.


The border town of Medrio

'Limited release licenses are exempt from censorship, convenient. But there's a lot of people in this town for a small one.
'There's a lot of newbies because of the exam. We don't have much to do with it, though.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more information on this topic.

I don't care about those exterminators, but is that what new guards do after they get their license?
If the inn is as good as you say, it might be fully booked. We could stay in an armored car, though.
It's empty except for maybe the cheapest hotels, right?　Unlike us, newbies don't have a lot of money...

　I see, a rich newcomer wouldn't be in such a hurry to get a job, and there's a way to get it. But the newcomer who comes here doesn't have enough money to want a job right away.

That's not true, but a novice craftsman is just as good as a novice.

　Hmmm, come to think of it, I haven't had to deal with that kind of hardship, I've been provided with weapons and money from the start. If you think about it, this is quite a cheat, isn't it? Whether you become or not depends on the money, it seems to be the same in this world as well.

　With such a newcomer at my side, I trusted Midia and looked for an inn with a garage and emphasis on cleanliness, and easily found it. The information is correct, and it seems that lodgings for merchants are expensive for newcomers and brokers.

You're going to be waiting here to supply the goddess of guided missiles after all, window flower?　In the meantime, I've heard there's going to be an opportunity to resupply within a month... do you think the cost of the accommodation will fall on expenses?

The Type 79 guided missile is the best firepower available. Why don't you take a day off and get paid for it?　I'll take care of your lodging expenses with my benefit package.

　Extra days off and paid holidays, really great.
　In a bad company, the paid days go away on their own...
　And while I'm at it, I'll send a reminder to the Goddess.

　I'm working all the time, just not reporting the details of my work!　I'll have my attendance sheet emailed to Window Flowers as proof!　...I wonder if my thoughts reached the goddess?

　Now, I'm bored with just restoring my magic. I'd like to enjoy some hobbies and leisure activities during my vacation.

It's a good time to recover your magic power, or maybe a hobby if you're on vacation.　There was a beautiful lake near the town. I haven't wanted to do some fishing in a while.

　Then I give my wrist a quick lift to the window flower.

　Fishing by the lake, in the shade of a tree, at a folding desk and chair for a picnic. But I don't care if you are a monk or not. The main purpose of this time is to enjoy the scenery and the cool breeze from the lake and forest.

Can I come with you this time?　I missed my chance at Aegis...

　Monk's best non-stop fishing. Not for the impatient kids, but....

You can't catch them like the ocean.　I'm more interested in relaxing at a summer resort than fishing, but if that's okay with you, do you want to go with me?

'Whatever... I still don't know what it is to play, and it would be fun to just go to the lake with Ryota with a packed lunch.'

　The old man's tear glands are loose, so stop right there!　We reject non-blurry fishing. We'll try to make it fun for sure!

　However, the trout type is delicious but difficult. Alright, let's try an easy carp. That one will eat anything, and it's big enough to catch and enjoy first.

"Do you want to go fishing, Manya?　Don't be shy, okay?

My father is a dwarf, so I've never been to the waterfront. Sir, I'll prepare your lunch.

　This one should be enjoyed by Manya.

　Carp are omnivorous, but they have a sweet tooth. How will you feed them? I'll need three traps and some opaque thread to mend their bulletproof suits. You can use a slime membrane as a substitute for a floatation stopper.

　We don't sell poles, but we can buy three good-looking pre-processed wooden poles from a bow maker. For the floats, you'll need to work on the branches, you can also make a fishing net and a bikini, and you can make needles right away at the factory.

　All we need is a tarp and a rug. The problem is food, preferably sweet potatoes, but they are not sold. Carp are omnivorous, and any kind of food will do, but if you mix sweet sake lees with the dumplings, they will bite easily. If it's the kind that dissolves slowly in water, the sweet taste will lure them to come to you.
