Preparation is extremely important for the job.
　If you're in sales or something like that, is it easy to understand if you're preparing for a presentation?
　You have to acquire the groundwork for what you're going to do, go there and ask for instruction, and then use your experience to create the material.
　The result of your efforts will appear on the stage in the form of a presentation, and you will have the choice of flying or falling to the ground.
　The more prepared you are, the more results you get, and the less you cut corners, the further away you are from the results you seek.
　I understand that, I understand that. .........

What kind of quantity is on this buy list?

　I approve the shopping list of several sheets of A4 paper with a sigh, but I don't know whether to be a little bit amazed or amazed at my friends' ability to act when the need arises.
　The items on this list were explained to me, and I was convinced that it was the right thing to buy.
　The total amount of purchases listed at the end of the list is quite a lot of money.
　Who are the people who have come up with such an amount of money?
　Due to a much heated purchasing meeting, the normally calm Kitamiya now joins the line in front of me and looks shyly to the side.
　And while Kaido and Minami try to cover up with an affectionate smile, Amelia and Masaru have a bitter smile on their faces as they realize they've gone too far.

Well, I can't help it, but ......... that's a tough one to ask Memoria for everything.
"Huh?　Is it impossible?
It's not that I'm not interested in this, but I'm not sure I'm going to be able to find the right one. It's a good idea to go to a specialized store for potions, consumables and magic bags, but when it comes to other magic tools, weapons and armor, as well as special medicines, it's better to go to a store specializing in them.

　A quick check of the list shows that there are many special items.
　I suppose it would be possible to get all of this from Memoria, but if it's not in her store, she'll have to order it from me, which would be inefficient.
　That's inefficient.
　At any rate, we've been relying on the store for memoria, and when it seemed impossible to get something like armor, we went to another familiar store.

Then we need to split up for efficient shopping: .........

　When I made the decision that this time I must visit all my familiar stores with vigor, there were about two people with a twinkle in their eyes.
　One is naturally south, but the other is surprising.

"Are you that excited about it, Amelia?
"Yeah!　I've never done so much shopping before!
"Heck, this pure smile is dazzling, that it is!
It's because you have a dirty mind, isn't it?
"What?

　They're two people with contrasting vectors of gleam in their eyes.
　South is the type of person you shouldn't let a lot of money in your pocket.
　It's fine when you're serious, but if you have a hint of ulterior motive, you're going to buy a hell of a lot of stuff.
　In contrast, what can I say about Amelia?
　Does she have the eyes of a boy who desperately wants to save up to buy the car he wants to buy in bulk?
　I'm genuinely looking forward to this shopping spree.

Wake up, South, for now.
"Ugh, my chest, my chest hurts, that it does.
I guess this is a good time to repent for my behavior.
But I will not be defeated, that I will not be defeated!
"You are not a pussy.

　I tried to point out my usual behavior to Minami, who was holding his chest and collapsing, but he laughed at it and returned and then looked at the list.
　And after nodding with a huff.

You're going to be able to get some supplies for Kaido, Katsu and Minami, buy the little things that you can't buy at Memoria's, and me, Kitamiya and Amelia will buy some magic tools.

　Say the split formation.
　No one spoke up against the decision.
　They all said yes.

All right, here we go.

　And if it's decided, then hurry up and do the right thing, and we'll move to the underground facility.
　All of us together on the way to the underground facility, it's completely peaceful.
　It would have been better if it had been.

Senpai, have you seen us?
"You're being watched, well, it's supposed to be the company's top tester party. It's supposed to be a top tester party in the company.

　A few minutes after leaving the room.
　You will find that the women's expressions are a little sullen as they look at each other from the surrounding gaze, and the men's reaction, other than hostility, is a little insensitive to Kaido's bluntness, and Katsu looks a little uncomfortable.
　And speaking of me, I don't mind, I'm going to take everyone with me.
　Perhaps if the six of us move together, we'll have eyes and vision.
　And if it's famous to some extent, you can't help but naturally follow it with your eyes.
　I'm wondering if this is how famous people, such as idols, feel.
　I suspect that most of these eyes are on the newcomers undergoing training, and I think it would be troublesome if Kawasaki's eyes were on me, so I proceed quickly.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that we've become famous too.
The quality of your gaze is different from mine, though.
".........
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not blaming Kitamiya. It's past time.

　The answer to Kaido's question about the attention he's been getting from the attention turned out to be an indictment of Kitamiya, and I immediately corrected him.
　It was simply a simple matter of speaking out of my head.
　When I just joined the company, I could not say that I was very comfortable with the way she was looking at me as a solo performer.
　So I just wondered how much that gaze could change with a change in person.
　Kitamiya, who was on the receiving end of those unpleasant glances, and I now work together to complete the dungeon.
　Relationships can change at the drop of a hat.
　That's just what I thought.
　I have no ulterior motive.
　I'll wave to them and say I'm going to go, and the rest of the members, including Kitamiya, will follow.

"Well then, don't waste your time shopping!
I know, that I do, but, Leader, if you find a bargain, you don't mind buying it, do you?
"I don't know who's going to give me permission to say that with a determined look on my face.
"Huh!"?



　Then he chops at Minami, who blurts out a blur as he's about to leave the underground facility.
　With his head in his hands and Minami cowering at his side, he tells her where to meet.

Kaido, meet me at the Hands store after you're done shopping.
"Yes, sir!

　Unlike the game, weapons and armor must be purchased according to their individual characteristics and are the last to be bought.
　Therefore, as well as consumable potions to buy ahead of time, strengthening potions to conserve magic power for strengthening magic, consumable magic tools such as bombs, and support supplies such as amulets.
　This facility, which seems to have everything like a department store, is laid out like a shopping district.
　You have to go through several stores to get the supplies you want.
　So after hitting the south again, I went shopping with Kitamiya and Amelia in tow.

Speaking of which, Kitamiya.
What's up?
What happened to Katsu?
".........

　I asked her about the development of her relationship with Masaru in the course of chatting, but she didn't get embarrassed, stammer or panicked, she just quietly looked away.
　It's not a good idea to ask.
　I guess there's no progress at all.

I'm sorry.

　So I apologize honestly.

"Don't apologize, if you think about it dispassionately, you've never been in love with anyone but Toru.

　And Kitamiya, who is revealing her lack of experience in love with a little sadly, softly tapped her shoulder, telling her not to spread the wound any further.
　Although the spirit of Sheng is calm, it is still not cured.
　It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends.

By the way, how is Amelia?
"Me?
Yeah, you're a working girl in high school. You have a flirtatious story or two. You know, the guy you're interested in.

　I know it sounds like my dad, but I'm just trying to change the atmosphere.

That being said, I don't think I've ever heard of Amie's love life either.

　It takes a little bit of courage for me, as a guy, to talk about it, but I think it's safe to talk about it, so I'll just dump the flow of the conversation on Amelia.
　Kitamiya is also interested in the topic and asks Amelia how it is going.
　The conversation turns to Amelia, who crosses her arms and tilts her head in a thoughtful gesture.
　I'm not sure if I have any idea what she's doing, but Kitamiya and I try to get our hopes up.

"Hmm~inine!

　It was Amelia who easily betrayed such expectations.
　After struggling for a while, what came out of Amelia's mouth was a denial.

''Huh?　Totally?　Like cool people.

　I'm not sure if I'm curious about this as a woman or not, but Kitamiya asked Amelia to give her a little prodding.

I hadn't had any friends until recently, but after the last kidnapping incident, I started to make friends. I've made friends with boys, but they are all childish and in my opinion, in my opinion, the best!

　Amelia's words in return to Kitamiya made sense, oh.
　This might be inevitable.
　As a result of the fact that there are many older people in the workplace, I feel that Amelia has basically set her sights on adults who are independent or have some perspective on reality.
　Maybe that's why she reacts coldly to the feelings of bragging rights or the love interest of those who are in love with her if she has a good-looking Amelia as a girlfriend.

"Besides!　It's not a problem because it's more fun to do a lot of things with Karen and Jirou right now!
I see.
Is that okay?

　She is the youngest of the bunch, but she will be a career woman in the future and a lifelong bachelor, so I got a glimpse of her anxiety when she was younger.



　As they chatted, they arranged the items on the list, one by one, and whoever was able to put them in the magic bag was carrying them, so everyone was wearing a bra.

Hands, you there?
Hey, Jiro. Come to drop off some money?
That's about it.
"Oh, you're a rarity.

　We arrived earlier than them, and when we entered the store, Kaido and his friends were nowhere to be found.
　Hands of the giant tribe, who was working on something at the back of the store, comes out from the counter with heavy footsteps.
　A stern face and a stern physique as usual.
　You'll be able to see that he's as healthy as ever, and a smile will appear on his face as well.

We're going to challenge the Dragon King's dungeon. I want to buy some new weapons for my party.
Oh, at last, if you're going to take on a dragon, you'd better have a good weapon!
"Don't push any weird weapons on me.
I won't, or rather, I can't. Master Evia ordered it. It's because of that incident that I have to file paperwork to sell my magic sword. That's a pain in the ass!
We'd be grateful if we could prevent this from happening again.

　And when he finds out we're buying weapons, his mood goes up.
　Hanz smiled sternly and patted me on the back.
　When I warned him in a roundabout way not to push the magic sword, he looked a little uncomfortable and easily complained that he couldn't sell his magic sword anymore.

Our signature product is not selling well, please.
I trust your stuff, I'm going to get my first big purchase in a long time.
"Gahahahaha, then good!

　I've been listening to Hanz's complaints while taking the heavy hand from the back of the store, and I've been in a self-contained good mood.
　It's a very good idea to have a look at the weapons, while Kitamiya and the others went to look at them.

"Hey, Hands, what's that?
"Huh?　You can see that.


No, I know.

　There are more corners that weren't there when I was here last time.
　I couldn't help but tweak Hands when I saw the content.

"That's a mineral tree, isn't it?
"Oh!　You've made me famous, and I thought I could sell it.
What do you mean it's a series?
A variety is more convenient, right?

　The corner entitled the Minerju series.
　The one in the glass case was an entity that could not be mistaken for a mineral tree.
　The only difference was that unlike the mineral tree series of that time, which was only one of them, the number of genres had increased.
　Not to mention the large-sword type I bought, there were dagger types, axe types, bow types, and staff types, a lineup that corresponded to each profession.

"Hey, are you sure you're okay?　A mineral tree is one in thousands of swords to become a decent sword, right?
"I'm ready to make you laugh and cry.
"......... tacky

　If you ask me what I'm trying to do with all these gambling weapons, I'm sure some of you will think that since I'm using mineral spirits, there must be a secret to my strength, so I prepared this series of mineral spirits.
　The signboard Hanz pointed at was set up as a warning sign so that there would be no problem if any complaints came in.
　Looking at Hands' teeth, which glisten with a thumbs-up, all I can say is: "Business spirit is strong.

"Good for business.
Because that's who I am!

　The voice of Hands, laughing with a hahaha, reminds me of me a year ago.

　Word of the Day
　It's nice to have a nostalgic item in the store.
