"Excuse me.
I'm so glad that Jiro came at the right time to help my sister.

The interceptor (Kaylee) thumbs up, thanking me and saying thank you, and the person who created the catastrophe (Suella) for being so upset and using magic.
I'm sure you'll be happy to know that we were able to stop the duel before it ended in the office, as our adventure is just beginning.
Currently, several members of the tester section plus Suela's contracted spirits are cleaning up after the brawl with magic.
You're going to be able to get a lot of phone calls from the housewives if you broadcast this trick on your phone shopping, and it's just as quick as watching a rewind video.
At this rate, we'll be back to normal in a few minutes.
As you can see, there was no damage, despite the brawl.
Speaking of the most damage, ......
It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has been affected by magic, because I jumped in between the two with my spirited defense.
I'm still undergoing recovery magic with Suela's knee pillow.

I'm not going to be able to get it for you.　I thought about what to do when you jumped in and said, "I don't know what to do. You're going too far, even if you're trying to stop me.
That's right, Jiro-san, even if I had been adjusting to it, I felt my blood run cold when the magic hit me.
"My body moved too quickly, sorry.

It's not just that I'm a chivalrous person, it's that I'm not the reason for my actions.
I'm not afraid to take a direct hit from the magic, but I've learned to tolerate it, and my body has become sturdy, and I'm trying to escape from reality, while escaping from the reality that the bundle of documents that I thought was made with a lot of effort is about to be erased, and I'm not going to start over!　And my body just jumped out at me.
Well, I understood that it was because of the business trip at the beginning, so it's not so serious, and that's why it happened.
That's not going to cut it.

Well, okay, as far as I'm concerned, I'll just chill out and let Suela do her job and I won't complain.
"......
"Suela?　You're not thinking of giving up your job yet, are you?
No, as expected, I was not cool with it either.
"It's a little out of the blue, I don't think Master Evia forgot to call you.
"Really?
Yes, well, it's because I inadvertently heard a rumor that I hadn't seen Jiro-kun for three months and that he was okay.

The expression on Suela's face when she dropped the bundle of papers was amusing, said Keely with a laugh. ...... Brutus, you're the one who caused the disaster.
I'm sure it's not the case that she forgot to inform her department of the importance of a person's business trip, especially one that crosses over into another world.
Could it be that my trip was a last minute decision?
The fact that the rumor comes first and the report comes later is a rare easy mistake for her, which makes me suspect that she has an agenda.
It's true that there is a sense of discomfort, but even if you think about it, you won't get an answer.
Then it's better to prioritize time.

"But what to do, I thought Suela was going to be my escort.
I'm not going to be able to do that, I have my own job and my own department over there, you know?　Well, maybe not if Suela can beat Master Evia.
"I'm going to go out for a little while to the old shrine.
"Wait!　What are you going to sign up for?
"The spirits you're using now can't stand up to you, but he can!
"Calm down for now, Suela.

To avoid being knocked off your knees, you get up, straining your abdominal muscles to avoid being knocked off your knees, and pull your head into a hug.
If I think about it calmly, Kaylee is certainly right.
At any rate, ever since I joined the company, Suela has been supporting me.
We became lovers and I wondered if we would naturally continue to work together.
However, it would certainly be unbecoming to pull the job from a different department.

Therefore, I don't know anyone on this trip.
Well, I don't have a connection to the intelligence community, and I don't have a Suela, as expected.
You will.
Well, what goes around comes around.

You may say so, but I think you need to do some advance preparation and information gathering as well.

Speaking of which, Jiro-kun, when will you be leaving?
Next weekend, we have to prepare for this and that.
Why?
You can't bring in our stuff, can you?
"Ahhhh.

I'm not going to be able to get rid of it.
It's natural, of course, but in going to the other side (Isual), it's strictly forbidden to bring modern equipment.
Even if you bring them, they will not be useful, but you should not bring a compass or a survival knife.
It's a difference in technology.
A screw in one of ours could be considered as an overhauled part over there.
So

I need to get my equipment from the mall. They say the money will come off the cost, but I've been instructed to get it myself and not leave it to others.

Basically what you need was written in the requirements, but there are probably other things you need as well.
I don't want to inconvenience you as much as possible, even if you have to go without at worst.
Fortunately, most of the underground stuff is fine.
Now it's just a matter of figuring out how to make the trip comfortable while avoiding the mines.



"Suela, since we don't have to dive in the dungeon this week, do you want to come stay?
"Yes!　Well, I guess I'll go and get the job done.
"You know how to deal with the dark elves, don't you?
"I don't want to be called unworthy,

If I'm going to be away for three months, I have a personal desire to be with you at least until just before I go.
I'm going to see Suela off as she resumes her work quickly and quickly, and I'll follow her back to work, saying that it's important.
I think I'll just get in the way if I stay here and get ready for my trip.
That said.

"I'm going to be here,

The places we rely on naturally lead to familiar places.
I haven't heard that he's back.
But I thought that I might and stood in front of the usual slightly old wooden door.
The sign for Memoria's tool shop is of course closed and the curtains are closed.
I wondered what exactly Memoria's business was, and I hadn't seen her in three weeks already.
I'm going to miss you if we haven't seen each other for this long.
You're two-timing, but what are you talking about?
Of course the door is

"I'm open?　Did you forget to lock the door?
"You haven't forgotten?
"Whoa!"?

I let go of the door as quickly as possible when I heard a voice that I thought was not going to open back up.

"As a lover, I'm shocked that I'm suddenly surprised to see you after so long.
"Sorry, Memoria," he said, "did you go home?
Yes, he was home. I thought you heard from someone and came to see me, but it was just a coincidence. Should I be happy that you came to see me in person?　Or should I be disappointed that my expectations were not met?

This fast-paced tone no doubt .
The door opens slowly and a girl comes out from inside.
The gesture is mysterious and frightening, as expected of a vampire.
It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

So, now can you help me clean up the store?
Just so you know, there's room for a little cleaning.
Thank you, I'll serve you a cup of tea when you're done.
"If you can, tell me a story, too.
Let's think about it.
"Oh, and
What do you want?
Welcome home.
"...... I'm back!

I figured I'd say it while I still had time, and I guess I was right.
It's hard to tell, but I can't miss the slight reddening of her cheeks.
Pausing for a moment, I look away and follow Memoria into the store.
As if she had been working a moment ago, cleaning supplies were set out in the store.
You naturally pick up one of them and start cleaning.

Is the store closed today?
I'm off, but I'm not sure I'm ready to start again.
"Hey, hey, come on, okay?　It's our go-to place.
I can't help it, I got my orders personally from the Demon King, I can't resist.
"Oh my God, can I hear the instructions?

I didn't want to cut off the conversation by not seeing you again for a while, even though I thought it would probably be no good.
I've already been here many times.
You have some idea of the arrangement of the goods and you chat with them while you clean and dust.
You can use magic, but although cleaning magic is effective for large areas, such as gymnasiums, it's not really suitable for small areas.
It's simply that the number of times you use it increases, but it's also foolish to waste your magic power.
I simply can't use it, but when I asked Memoria before, she told me
"It depends on your mood.
That's what I was saying.
I guess that's how I'm feeling this time, too.
You will be able to find a lot of people who are in the same mood as you, but who are dressed in sturdy traveler's outfits, not the usual clerk's uniform like a young lady, but rather a sturdy traveler's outfit that you don't mind getting dirty, while Memoria and I cleaned the store smoothly with our hands while our mouths were rolling.

"Yes, that's fine, the contents are relevant to you as well, so I didn't have to go through the trouble of picking you up since you came to me.
"......

I was looking for the content of the conversation, but I couldn't help but reply with silence.
At this point, I've pretty much figured it out.
As it pertains to me at this point in time.

Is Memoria's family home a store or something?
"You're doing that too,
Is there a merchant corps, too?
Yes, that's where we get our products from.
Ahhh.
By the way, the reason I was away for a month or so was that there was a problem in the trading corps, and my father was supposed to solve it, but it was my turn to go, so I was really in trouble.

She's a really fast-paced lover.
You can also have a look at the following tips to help you get a better idea of what to expect.

But it's not bad if you say that opportunities like this one come around, because it seems that my background has caught the attention of Evia-sama.
Then again, the merchants on this trip were
"I will be at my place.

My prediction was spot on, and it seems that the difficulty of traveling to another world, not to a foreign country, is somewhat lessened when you don't know anyone.

The merchant force is just you and me, though.



I take it back, the difficulty seems to have increased considerably.
I was expecting a small to medium-sized merchant corps of ten men, if not a large one, but I didn't expect a corps, but an individual.
I was sure that the merchant corps that we talked about earlier would be present, but I was wrong.

Isn't it called peddling?
I'd say yes.
I guess that's all you can say: ......
"No, it's me, the merchant, and you, the bodyguard, the merchant corps. And a large merchant corps is more conspicuous. I guess that means they are a select few.

Certainly, the more people you have, the safer you are, but the more attention you get, as if in proportion to that.
If there are more people, you can do more, but the possibility of leaking the information you are collecting will increase.
Then it would be better to work with a small number of people to minimize the risk of exposure.
My trip is like a tour of duty, it makes more sense.

"The base is on the other side. We'll just move it in order.
It's nice and easy.
Yes, as long as you're careful about demons, thieves, and then filthy aristocrats, clerics who don't know what's clean, and merchants who are greedy, it's no problem.
"It's full of danger.
Yes.

I don't know if you're more at ease with Memoria or with the bad environment out there.
The use of the word "even" is so questionable that the destination is apparently unsafe.
Compared to the safest place on earth, it's like an acorn in a barrel, isn't it?

What about transportation?
I'd say a carriage, but we're on foot to the first town, so you'll need to keep your luggage to that bag. The magic bag is too obvious to use.
"It's going to be really minimal.
"Also, I forgot to mention that they don't rely on my fighting ability to hide their vampire abilities.
"It's really full of danger,

The more I listen to it, the more insecurities are rumbling out.

'Has Memoria ever been to Isreal?
I've peddled a few times, so geography is not a problem.
Then tell me what you need in your luggage?　I've never done anything like this before.

If you forget to buy something like we have here, there's no convenience store.
You just have to deal with the parts you can manage as best you can.

As long as we have water, a fire, animals, and a blanket to keep us warm, we're good to go.
Hey, I'm going on a business trip, right?　You're not going to survive, are you?
It's a joke.

Please, if you're joking a little bit more, just give me a look that says I'm joking and I'll try to understand.
I'll try to understand, I thought I could live with that.
Putting my feelings aside, the store is mostly cleaned up and it's time for me to do my business.

"Wait a minute, sir.

Memoria, with her cleaning supplies propped up against the wall, went straight into the storage room in the back.
Less than a minute had passed.
She returned with a hooded cloak of the same color as the one she wore in one hand and a shoulder-borne leather bag in the other.

"Both are common things you use when traveling.
"I see.
In total, that's 50,000 yen.
"You want to get paid?　It's no wonder.
It's a business, and even lovers draw that line very firmly.

The sight of her calmly typing the cash register is somehow distracting, and you feel comfortable with your first interaction in a long time.

"I'll need a receipt for everything later, please.
Okay, now for the food. This is Isual's preserves.
"I knew it, but ...... looks bad.
"It's actually bad, it's usually a soup when you eat it.

And then I was shown something black named rocky dried meat .
To be honest, if I was going to eat it, I'd bring a can of it with me, but I don't think I can do that either.

"Is it okay if I bring some condiments?
Refill it and there's no problem. I'm going to take it with me.
"Yes!

I can't help but bust a gut when I hear that.
It is the same with overseas business trips, but I am generally worried about the food situation.
Even a bad meal can be managed with just a little seasoning.
With a glimpse of hope, I decide what to take as it is, while consulting with memoria.
I was worried about how it would work out, but now I know it will work out.

"The total is going to be 74,500 yen.
"Fall in expenses?

At the last minute settlement of accounts I received a receipt and was laughing with Memoria at the amount.

Word of the Day
At first I thought I was going on a school trip to a fantasy world, but before I knew it, it was firmly back to work!
