When Aigis Shield Country was in sight

　Aigis Shield Country. If you were to compare its location to the earth, it would be in the region of Biermonte, Italy.

We should be getting there soon. Is the soap in Aigis olive oil?　I'm sick of the new Emperor Ares' tallow soap that stinks.

'It was Ryota-sama who said you didn't need soap to replenish your supply, right?　Use it up, no olive oil soap until then. We couldn't even stay at the inn because of the wastefulness of the yesteryear's town and money!


Investigation Diary / Ryota's Wasteful Spending Record

zenith month x day
　I was worried that the goddess would cause me to go bald from my jibble. In a town I happened to visit, I found a hair-growth product that I was sure would work. I was skeptical, but I couldn't resist buying it.

　I'm old enough to check for hair loss when I wash my head. After all, it was only expensive and fake...

　You were running low on syrup. Could it be evaporation?　But the sweetness didn't change and I splurged, buying more on the way. It's so light that my wallet is about to fly off the shelves with the hair growth products.

　The syrup is made from the sap of a tree that seems to be of the palm family. We would have liked to collect it from the native trees, but it was all under government control.

X number of days
　Benefit snacks are a syrup-saving device. Bulk them up with roasted nuts and dried fruit, spread a thin layer of syrup on them, and bake them until they have hardened. Finally, they are finished with cocoa powder and coconut flakes from the supplies.

　The inside work of pastry making continues tomorrow....

　Now that they've cooled and hardened, I finally got to try the prototype pastry. The way Midea eats them is cute and squirrel-like. Anya nibbles into it boldly like a rice cracker.

　We are happy to see that the response has been better than we expected.

X day of the month
　Any excess of any kind of thing is a quicksilver pull. Midia's nibbling accelerated, reminding her of a shredder. Myrna's nibbling disappeared and became a bite.

　And, for some reason, the syrup stopped evaporating...

　I feel threatened by the rate of sweetness consumption and cry to the Goddess. I was given a small supply of genetically modified yeast for wheat. I succeeded in making sugar from wheat, the wheat is reduced but still cheap.

X day of the month
　I found what looked like natural yeast in the sap and smelled the alcohol. I was tempted, so I kicked out the beetles and secured it.

　We begin our doburoku production experiment.

X day of the month
　We moved on to trial production. I learned how to make doburoku from a farmer I used to go to as a part-time mushroom harvester. If I don't have money, I'll make it.

　Looking back, I should have bought barley. You can get hops from the mountains and you can make your own malt. Now I want beer yeast.

　These are the reasons why we were poor and couldn't stay at the barrier station in Dore.


Around Aigis Shield Country

The area surrounded by blue circles is Aigis Shield Country
The entrance to the blue● along the highway from the Mura no Mori is the checkpoint

'Ryota, we're at the barrier. Did I put the warranty card in the sun visor?　A fine parchment warranty this time.

　This time the warranty was for another country, so he stamped the official seal of the magician.

''The parchment is fine, but this time the official seal is more valuable than the paper itself.

　It's your turn to change seats.

Welcome to Aegis Shield Country. 　You're the famous Orc Terminator!　Now, come on in.

　What's the Orc Terminator?　Are we finally going to have two names?　I don't like the fact that he's an orc, but finally a celebrity... well, it's probably just a local name around the Speckled Forest area.

Ryota-sama, we've collected audio from this area. Even though they are Orcs, their speed is extraordinary, and there are rumors that they are going to be destroyed. The rumor originated in the Speckled Forest. It was a peddler who spread the rumor.

Oh, my God, we're getting famous!　This isn't a pseudo-exterminator anymore, is it?
Your husband's an a**h*le, and you heard about him in a few days!　I'm taller than you.

Well, what do you think?　He's an orc after all. More importantly, this is a small town and inconvenient. Let's go all the way to the big city at once!

　He was famous in a bad way!
　Let's get far away from here.
　If they get settled, it's worse.
　No more orc extermination for a while!


We drove around to the big cities.
(Per the star on the map)

'The word hasn't reached the gatekeepers here. The city is poor for a big city, but there is a lot of activity, so the work itself seems to be there. I've heard there are a lot of demons here.

Aigis Shield was founded by a hero, but it was approved by the Orin oracle as a buffer state against the new Ares empire. The capital city is a reasonably prosperous land transport hub, but geopolitical conditions take precedence and most of the country is poor.

But the king of Aegis is a great monarch, famous for his kindness and fairness to his people.　He said that even us mixes have a chance to be successful. But the mix is poor and uneducated, so there aren't many of us who make it.

　Hmm. So it's a tough start, but there's a chance for success, and if you're good enough, it doesn't matter what your birth or background is, right?

But I don't know, I just got here. Elf cover is the usual. All I need is a place to stay, on a budget, with a garage and a clean bill of health.

　The roads are clean, and many of the shops are old but well-cleaned. The inn looks promising.

I'm going to get off at the main road and get a job from the arranger. We'll do some research while we're at it. You're a hero, even for royalty, you know the folklore.

　I walked down the main street to find the arranger's office to get work and information. After walking for a while, I see the sign for the arranger's office, which is a thriving business with many comings and goings. There are some of my colleagues and ordinary workers in the office. The receptionist for extermination is separate from the general workers. An old man with a white beard was in charge.

''Hello. I'm a temporary demon exterminator in the Alp. I'm here looking for a job as a demon exterminator, do you have any requests for me?''

　You don't want to come to a dispatcher's office because the atmosphere is similar to that of job security...

　No adventurer's guild?
　This other world doesn't breathe, you know?
　Try harder!
