I wake up at the sound of the bell, go to the restaurant, eat, and then leave. This is the basic cycle of my life.
　But today, I woke up a little earlier than usual. I woke up, but not at the sound of the bell. I go downstairs.

It's even earlier today. The innkeeper is probably still preparing the food.

　The innkeeper, who was cleaning, called out to me. I wondered when he was sleeping.

Do you have a recommendation for a restaurant that is still open at this hour?

　At any rate, I ask him. You have some money to spare, and sometimes you want to eat a meal at a restaurant other than the one next door (it's important to note that you don't want to be exposed to the loud voice of the old man at the restaurant every morning.

If you're looking for a place to eat near the guild, that's probably a good idea. It's a little bit expensive, but there's a restaurant for adventurers with unstable activity hours, and it's not as good as the one next to ours, but it's good. I'd recommend the adventurer's set menu, it varies from day to day, but it's good.

　A restaurant near the guild, or maybe a set meal restaurant?　Let's go there for now.

　We've reached the guild. There is indeed a restaurant open, so we go in.
　I'm not sure if it's the one the innkeeper mentioned, but there is no other restaurant open. It must be this restaurant.

Come in!

　I felt betrayed. It is true that this restaurant is different from the one next to the inn. The owner was also a woman, unlike the neighboring restaurant.
　However, there was no difference in the volume of her voice, so I could not expect the quiet meal I had hoped for.
　No, the volume has not changed much, in fact it seems to have worsened.
　The owner's voice is lower than a standard woman's. She is tall and well-proportioned, and looks manly, but she is a woman. Naturally, her voice is higher than that of the owner of the restaurant.
　That's why her voice stings my ears even at the same volume. Give me back my peace of mind.

"Oh, adventurer's set meal, please. ......

　I order from the innkeeper's recommended menu, completely depressed. The price is 100 Tel. Naturally, I get a response.

"Hey there!

　is the reply. The innkeeper was kind enough to give me two ! mark on it. You're welcome. As usual in this world, the food comes out fast, but it doesn't soothe my broken heart.
　I try to eat. The menu consists of some kind of stir-fried meat and vegetables and bread. It's not as good as the restaurant at the inn, but it's good. The bread is similar to that served at the inn's bakery, or rather, it seems to be the same. Maybe they buy from the same bakery.
　I paid the money and left the store, my heart but my stomach satisfied.

"Thank you!

　Please stop. My life is already zero.
　I'm going to collect herbs. You should be able to collect herbs until midday. Then I'm going to have some food and pick up my gear.
　It's nice to eat in the forest because you can relax. Thanks to the tentacles, I don't have to be so careful.
　Looking forward to the meal, you continue to gather herbs today. When I find a herb, I run up to it, crouch down, snap it off from the root, and store it while standing up to move on. This takes about 3.5 seconds. I'm used to the work, I'm even skilled at it, but I wonder if my speed is a little slow because of the tension.
　Anyway, I just keep collecting Zunana grass. After about an hour of collecting, I found something that caught my attention.

　It's zunnanakusa. But it's not just zunnanakusa. It's about 12 cm long, and although the price is lower, it's at a level where you can buy it.
　But there is no ▼ mark on it. This may not be zunnanakusa, but it may have some value. I will try to evaluate it without picking it.

　Zunnanakusa (immature, useful)
　Description: An immature herb. It has hemostatic and potentiating effects.

　It has a hemostatic effect and a potentiating effect. The potentiating effect may refer to the fact that it becomes more effective when mixed with other medicinal ingredients.
　If there are useful things, there may also be useless things. I would like to see the useless ones, so I think only of the immature forms of zunana grass. Since it is not good to overexploit even the small ones, I will leave the immature zunnanakusa alone.

　The mark has increased. There are about ten times as many as zunana plants. I'll try to identify the closest one other than the one I've just seen.

　Zunana plant (immature, useless)
　Description: Unripe Zunana plant. Causes diarrhea and stomachache if taken orally.

　Hmm? Isn't this a description of dokuzunana?
　But in the appraisal window it says "Zunana plant". If I don't believe this, I don't know what I'm supposed to believe.


　Does a useless, immature zunana plant change into a dokuzunana? Or is it a completely different kind of immature plant that turns into a useful one as it matures?
　Considering that the guild does not buy plants smaller than 10 cm, it may be the latter.
　Dokuzunana may have been a mutation that caused it to grow in a poisonous state in the past, but now that it is no longer eaten by animals, it has multiplied. I don't know why the stems are square, though.

　And that's all for now. I came here to pick zunnanakusa. I change the display to show an image of ordinary zunana grass.
　The lowered tension seems to have returned, and my speed has increased slightly.
　Several hours passed as I continued to gather herbs. The sun was almost overhead, signaling noon.
　I sat down and took out a loaf of bread from the item box. After all, it is good to eat in peace.
　The forest soothes me with its tranquil atmosphere that I can't believe it was ravaged by the herb gatherers just a moment ago.

　Now that I'm back in the swing of things, I decide to head back to the guild to pick up my gear, and head up the gentle slope of the forest to the guild as usual.
　The Zunana grass is not a burden, but it would be better to deliver it quickly.
　When I entered the guild, I found Sally at the counter. One of the two windows is occupied by other adventurers, but luckily hers is empty.

Hello, I'm here to deliver some herbs. I only have until noon today, so I'm a little short.

　You take the herb from the item box and place it on the counter. The item box was labeled 252.

Yes. That's not much. That's only 252. That'll be 7560 Tel.

　As if she had given up, Sally disposed of the zunana grass as usual, and handed me the coins. I feel bad as I toss it into the item box. It wasn't much, after all. I leave the guild, thinking that maybe I should have picked up a few more.

　Anyway, I need to get the wand. So I head to the wand shop. It's that loli wizard's store.

"Excuse me, is your wand ready?

　There was a loli wizard, so I called out to him.

"Pfft, pfft ......

　"Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft. You're a rude loli. Well, she's a loli, so I forgive her.

"Oh, excuse me, I was just... The wand is already in place. The wand is already ready. It will only increase your magic speed by about 2.5 times, so you'd still be better off running up to it and using it as a melee weapon.

　The loli wizard then takes out a small wand from the box. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I think it's a good idea. It's such a delicate size.

Thank you, that's all I need.

　"Thank you, that will be enough. There is a vertical joint near the middle, and it is heavy for wood. I wonder if there is an iron core in it.
　There is still some time before I receive the armor. I should go and test the power of this staff.
　I think the guild has a request to kill it, but I don't want to hunt long enough to accept the request.
　I'll go into the forest and gather herbs while going a little deeper. If you find a green dog, you can cast a spell on it.

　Equip your shield again, grab your staff, and go out into the forest.
　You fire a spear of rock for a test. Obviously the spell is flying faster than before. It must have been about 100km/h.
　If I use a wand like the one the loli wizard had, will it be a spell that lands the moment it is cast?
　I don't know if I'll use it, but I'd like to have a long wand just in case. I'll get around to it.
　As for the armor, it occurred to me that I don't need to shoot the spell at the monster from the top of the fur, I could just cast it directly into its body. I thought of this and tried to make a rock spear appear directly in the tree, but I couldn't do it. It seemed to be impossible even if a part of the generated area overlapped with the tree. It's a pity, but it's a good thing that I found out that it's impossible.
　I left my right hand open and used it to collect herbs. As I proceeded to the back while gathering herbs, the tentacles caught the reaction of the green dogs. There is only one of them.
　You quickly fire a rock spear at its head. The rock spear, which was about the same size as before, flew at the green dog much faster than before, but it still shattered when it hit.
　Tetteret!
　I leveled up. It was a bad hit and the green dog was killed in a single blow, but judging from the injuries, it seems that the increased speed doesn't change the power.
　It was getting dark, so I headed back to town. My MP had increased by 500 after all.

　I think my speed on the road back to the city has increased because my AGI has increased. I don't know how much it's increased.
　I guess I didn't go as far as I thought I would because of the herb gathering, but I soon arrived at the city. I heard the bell ringing. Best timing.
　Instead of smashing through the gate ...... at the same speed, you show your guild card and go inside, aiming for the armor shop.

Hello, I'm here to pick up my armor.

"Yes, it's ready. Try it on.

　Try on the armor. The structure of the armor was completely different from that of Japanese clothes, but somehow I understood how to put it on.
　The structure of the armor is completely different from that of Japanese clothes, but somehow I understand how to equip it. I check if I can move smoothly with the leather armor on. It felt right.

It's fine. It feels good.

"Okay, come back to my store if you need anything else. Of course I'll charge you.

Okay, I'll leave you to it.

　With that, I went back to the inn with the armor on, and experimented in my room with something I was curious about.
　I thought to myself, "I'd like to store my armor in the item box. You do.
　Now you want to equip the armor instead of taking it out. This is also done.
　The same thing seems to be possible with shields. You can use this to move lightly and change quickly in battle. Like a magical girl.
　Well, in the case of magical girls, they can move faster in battle gear.
　Anyway, I put all my gear in the item box (keeping my clothes, of course) and go out to eat.
　The loud voices of old men at the restaurant do not bother me much in the evening. I ate my food with a tolerant heart and went back to the inn to sleep.
　Tomorrow I'll accept a request to kill a monster in earnest.
