After finishing dinner, I logged in and everyone was gathered in the strategy room, naming in one of the living rooms.

The proposition was to defeat the Draugle Beast in the Young Tree Forest. This has come as an official request in the Adventurer's Guild.

The quest to defeat the Draugr Beasts of the Young Tree Forest: difficulty level A-.
Compensation: varies according to results.
Time limit: Yes.
Quest Challenge Period: 4 days to go.
Quest Challenge: One time only.
Subject: All players.
Defeat the Draugr Beast in the Young Tree Forest.

This isn't like any of the previous quests... is there a time limit or something... what happens if the time is over? I don't want everything I've cleansed up so far to disappear in a cloud of dust.

Ruin-san, aka Commander, speaks.

'The Draugr Beast is a raid boss and there are no restrictions on player participation. However, there's a time limit on how many quests you can take. This seems to mean that the Beast Demon Guild will move if you exceed the deadline.

Well, if you don't do something about that place, it's pretty tough for new summoners.

Many of the other summoners will want to try out different things now that they can get attribute stones in the dwarven village.

''This time we're not the only ones, there will be players from other countries joining us.

Wouldn't that be a huge number? By the way, the reason why players from other countries are participating is because they weren't able to satisfactorily level up in the event this time.

It is already known that Freetia defeated the zombie horde with the fire meter, and they think that using it to defeat them is also possible.

''That's why Tact-kun isn't going to participate, right?

Yes, sir.

"What?

Why are you surprised? I'm not surprised.

"You know... we're in desperation. There's no way we can fight in this situation.

Then Mel speaks up.

"But you could be useful in directing operations and all that, right?

I can't. My commanding limit is 30 for Lilly and her friends. I've proven that before.

I was completely defeated by Mirai in an earlier event. But the guys aren't giving up either. Now it's Luke.

'Tact-san, you can join in with the Clean Slime, Yululungru, and the new vampire, can't you?

'You're a level one vampire to a slime that needs to be carried in a group fight. Sabik will be active, but we can't just put the burden on Sabik and let him die.

Everyone shuts up. Then Ruin speaks.

'Tact-kun, do you think this mission... is it clearable with the fire meter?

Mr. Lewin asks me, and I answer immediately.

'Probably not possible.

Why is that?

''Garou-san said before. That Lily's attacks were able to destroy the magic circle, and that a dragonized Lily would be able to destroy the magic circle in the Young Tree Forest.

''You did indeed say that... so there's a chance that this time the Draugle Beast will be resurrected infinitely if you don't destroy the magic circle.

When Ruin-san said that, Mirai made a surprising statement.

''...There was a disarming magic in the skill that was released in the last battle. ...When I used it, it was a magic that destroyed the magic circle and made it impossible to use magic.

I'm not sure if it's the same as the seal magic I'm getting, but it seems that the seal magic prohibits the use of the seal magic, but the cancellation magic makes it impossible to use the magic you've used.

It's a good idea to have a good time with them. If you can disarm any magic with little magic, you'll lose a lot of money every time you use big magic.

My image of the magic is that it's exclusive to wizards. Of course, it would be effective against monsters as well.

The only thing I can think of that will work is a spell to disarm the magic circle... and then we'll have to prepare.

They all look at me. To them all I answer.

'I can't go get a pine tree or anything right now, so good luck with that.

All of them look reluctant. The pine and oil, the heart of the fire meter, was used up without reservation in the last battle, and as a result, there was very little left.

Well, it seems that oil can be made with alchemy, and fire arrows can be created as well. But I'm still told that the pine material is better.

I understand the anxiety of not being able to use materials that worked well last time, but I want everyone to do their best.


After the strategy meeting, I'm going to use Puyosuke to clean up the outskirts of Freetia.

I can hear the admiration from the knights in Freetia. You guys, do your job.

I had nothing to do after the cleansing work was done, so I went to the Agricultural Guild.

I was looking for something to do since I finished my quest for the village of Verdore, and I found a lot of quests. Among them, here was the one I was most interested in.

Request Quest "Resurrection of the Field": difficulty level C-.
Reward: Cotton Seeds
I want you to revive the cotton field.

Request Quest "Resurrecting the Field": difficulty level C-.
Reward: corn seeds
I want you to resurrect a corn field.

Request Quest "Resurrecting the Fields": difficulty level C-.
Reward: Seeds of Brassica
I want you to revive the cruciferous field.

Requested Quest "Selection of Herbs": difficulty level E
Reward: Mint Seeds
I want you to sort out the mint mixed with weeds.

Cotton is known for its clothing material, cotton.

On the other hand, it is also known as a premium salad oil, cottonseed oil. I personally recommend tempura because of its mild flavor and subdued flavor.

Tempura is so good!

Next up was corn. This turned me on to a biofuel tip my sugar cane grandmother gave me.

Of course, you can use it in cooking as corn, and the fact that it can be used as fuel means you can use it as salad oil.

However, corn oil is not suitable for frying. It is often used in dressings.

You'll want to check this one out.

Next up, cruciferous! It's the famous rapeseed oil. The most famous canola oil is mayonnaise. It's also used in bread instead of butter, and in dressings, frying and stir-frying.

Like sugar cane and corn, it is used as a biofuel.

Finally, there is mint. When you think of herbs, mint is the first one. Mint is known for its mint tea, but it is also used in cooking.

The quests are the same, but the number of times you can clear them is limited, so we'll decide on the priority. The most important thing is probably cotton. I still want the material for clothes.

The next one is oil. The oil's usefulness makes cruciferousness the winner. The corn is delicious... but the sugar cane made it a lower priority.

Well then, I'll take the quest and give it a shot! Oh, I can't see Mr. Ruin.

What do you think? Would you risk going to the village of Verdore?

Well, I guess we'll just have to sit tight... and stow all the money we have in the house, and all the items we have in it, including equipment. We won't need to worry about Despenser.

All right, then. Shall we go?

Huh?

Lily and the others were looking at me through the door.

'Ahhh...I'm going out for a bit.'

"Only the tact is not fair...

'You can't hide it!　You're going out there, aren't you?

Everyone nodded at Lily and Ion's words. Kuh...no violence in numbers. It can't be helped...I'll have to explain the situation and let them stay at home.
