I see the three of them off to the royal castle. Then I call out to the players who look at me.

'What are you doing here?'

'Well. I was wondering if you were going to open a store.

'Oh yeah. Because it was never a secret meeting with an NPC that bothered me or anything!

Hey, you!

'Well. Without her lines.

Raiden, you can't do that. That Tyrol guy isn't good at this kind of thing.

"Oh, I see. Mr. Lewin will be opening the shop, so you'll have to come then.

I was about to enter the store when four people came to stop me.

''Wait a minute~!

'What? I've been busy leveling up and doing new quests.

A new quest!

I think everyone's eyes lit up.

''I'm telling you, this has nothing to do with those three guys from earlier, okay?　The kind you'd normally get in the Adventurer's Guild.

The four of us are disappointed.

''It's very unusual for you to take a quest from the Adventurer's Guild, Tact-kun.

Ruin and his friends are here. Oh!

'I see you've all changed classes. Congratulations.

'Thanks to you. I think maybe all of our servers have changed classes.

Tact-kun is the clear winner of the event, right?

You did.

'You don't have to imitate me. I'll talk to you inside so we can discuss events and rewards.

Yes, sir.

Excuse me.

Why are they coming in?

The first thing they all say is this.

"Is it getting smaller?

I'm not getting smaller!

I demand a correction!

Lily and Ion say so, but Setia says so.

'You both said that about yourselves,'

"Ug...

Shall we start with Lily and the others?

'The price of dragonization. Well, maybe it has to be something like this to balance it out.

Rather a bit sweet?

'I suppose that's because of what's to come. There was a dragon egg as a reward for this one, so we may have a dragon in the near future.

So that would mean that a normal dragon is stronger than a normal dragon.

'Tact, you arrived at the capsule, right?

Everyone listens. You two have a lot of guts, don't you?

I'm sorry. The point at which you stepped on the last robot appearance trigger was enough to exchange it. But thanks to that, I didn't have to level up.

'It was worth it, wasn't it?　What was that all about?

I look over at everyone and see Tyrol.

'I'm sorry. It's a rather sensitive subject and I can't disclose it for a moment.

'Huh?　Did you look at me and judge me?

'Of course... you couldn't tell me earlier, is it really that bad?

Worst case scenario, we'll have to cut off our country and guild ties and live on a deserted island.

What?

We'd all be surprised, but it looked like it could have been, in fact.

'Was it that dangerous?'

'Yes, sir. Of course, I took steps earlier to prevent that from happening, so it's probably okay.

That's good to hear. Well, you can tell me about this when you're ready to talk about it.

I promise.

Then we talk about other points.

''You're going to trade the Intermediate Furnace for the Intermediate Blacksmith's Hammer.

'Yes. I think Hephaistos needs it, and we need a good weapon, too.

'You're firm. So you're wondering what to do with the remaining 7600?

''Yes. I'm trying to decide whether to use an attribute stone or some other item.

Yeah. The first thing I'd recommend is an expanded inventory, an intermediate safe. I'm just curious about the camping set.

I didn't know there was such a thing. It's nice to be able to increase the amount of inventory, like 10 for 100 pts. It's certainly nice to be able to store more money and items since the intermediate vault is owned by the store, and for 3,000 pts this is something that is sold in the Adventurer's Guild as well.

The mystery camping set bothered me too. I was told it was an item that would allow us all to log out in the field. 3,000 pts, in case you were wondering.

As I was puzzling over it, Tyrol dropped a bomb.

'Aren't you going to replace the brushes, Tact-san?　I have a brush for summonses.

The summonses in the shop had a super reaction. I didn't notice them at all. Oh, there's a brush for sub-races and a brush for summons. Both are 1500 pts.

''Jee~''

Gaze attacks from all of us. You don't have to look at me like that, I'll trade you. I didn't reward Gray and the others.

I ended up spending 2 brushes, a camp set, and the other 1600 on expanding my inventory. So, I'm going to test the effectiveness of the brushes immediately.

Lilly first!

So I'm going to brush Lily's hair.

'Wow. ......'

Lily's mouth is open and her eyes are narrowed. When I stop, she comes to her senses. When I summon Gray, too, his eyes narrow and he gurgles.

'Kuhn...'

I've never heard Grey sound like this before.

''I can't believe that Grey-chan, who was so cool, has degenerated to this level...''

"Terrible brushing attack by Mr. Tact.

What is that pathetic attack? In case you were wondering, I made this attack into an ion.

'Hunnya - ......'

Catified. I'm going to try to make it into a setia.

'Oh... no... this is... ah...'

I was writhing. It smells like crime, so please don't do it. Love Fire said it would be a tail on request.

''Soo...soo...''

I fell asleep. It seems to be working great.

So, I'll continue to talk about what happened, brushing them all off. I'm currently brushing Conoha, and she's squinting her eyes and looking comfortable.

''I'm seriously worried about the war merit points. I'd like to use the status orb to increase the agility value of the black iron, do you have any other recommendations?''

If you care about Hephaistos, there was iron ore or something down there, right?

What did you say? I checked and found it...it looks like it can be redeemed for 200 pts. I got to 200 for Ix's weapon! After doing this, there were 21,000 pts left; I exchanged 50 for the love fire weapons and other things, and the rest was decided on the agility value of the black iron.

I immediately made a weapon request to Hephaistos. Love Fire's iron one-handed sword and my iron one-handed sword.

'It's so typical of you, Tact, to spend points on ores and summons when the players are going for weapons and skill scrolls.

When I finish talking, Mel and the others will be there. Everyone is early today. Then I remembered our deal. I'm so sorry... but I forgot. But I can't give this away. I think I know what to do with it... and I think I know just the thing.

"You know, you promised me equipment as a thank you.

Hmm?　I did say that, but you're giving me an event reward?

No way. I found just the right quest for you. I'll give you this, no promises.

Quest?

Everyone is surprised when they see the quest.

''An area liberation event!

Hmm? What's going on here? I twist my head around and Luke explains to me.

'These quests that open up new areas are called area release quests.

I see. Sure, if we can clear it, we can go somewhere new. But what does that matter?

'These quests are special and have good rewards.

Surely an iron weapon would be a good reward at present.

'I see. Well, good luck clearing that up.

Wait a minute. Tact isn't joining us?

"I gave you a quest, why wouldn't you want to participate?

'That's true, but...'

Kago stagnates good. Rekha says.

'It wouldn't be the same as the promise if Tact didn't cooperate, would it?

Do I get paid to do that?

Rekka realizes that's definitely not right, either. That's when Yuko says.

'Well then, with my sword and armor.

Why do I have to raise two?

That's the extent of your love for the three of you, Tact!

Then I'll stop talking about it. Just wait until I get the strongest weapon I can find. I'm going on this quest alone.

Wait!

We were all stopped. Why?

'Events like this are something we all work together on. Mr. Tact.

Is that so?

Yes!

Oh, oh. If everyone says so, then it must be true. Well, we all cooperated with each other at the management event. Let's cooperate in this quest as well.

Then it's decided by the members of this place!

Luke says so, but that's not what you said, is it?

Aren't they all?

'Maybe this is a request quest, so anyone can take it. Just put up some strategy information and it shouldn't be a problem.

So that's how it works. So, I'll do my best with the members here, then.
