　 We pass in front of the guild, which is the busiest area, and head for the inn's cafeteria. The inn, like the guild, has dark brown floorboards, pillars, and white walls, but it is more decorated and looks more gorgeous than the guild. The walls are hung with alternating lights and mirrors reflecting the lights, and the corridor is much brighter than I expected.

A man of a little bit of everything, Ochazuke suggests. Although he has a small appetite, he orders many kinds of food, and often leaves some behind, but he is often stuck eating it all because he is caught up with everyone else.

He is often stuck eating all of the food. "You don't have to go along with me," he says. You don't have to accommodate me. I'm sure I'll be off log in time in the future, and by the next time I see you, you'll have caught up on your levels during my break."

In the past games, except for Ochazuke, I have often been rather higher level than him, Leo and Kikuhime sleep earlier than me, Peter has longer hours at work than most, and Shin usually has shorter login time than me due to his long commute.

The fact that Ochazuke knows about it means that there are already people on the board who have changed jobs for the second job, and since Shin and the others are now 14, the fastest ones must be further ahead.

　At the intersection of the main street from the south to the Lords' Hall and the main street from east to west, there is a square, and the temple stands to the northwest of it, surrounding the square for a quarter of its length. The square worship hall in the north alone is larger than both the Adventurers' and Commercial Guilds combined, and is truly a chalk temple.

　The reception desk for new jobs is located at the eastern entrance, and it was probably added later because of the different style of the building. The reception desk, the office, and the priest's residence are connected to the hall of worship through the prayer hall.

　There are six gods worshipped in this world: Asha, the god of war and rebirth in the form of a fierce red-haired youth; Val, the god of freedom and travelers in the form of a graceful silver-haired woman; Dur, the god of fertility and earth in the form of a gentle old woman; Lusha, the god of merchants and craftsmen in the form of a blond manchild; and the god of love and hunting in the form of a blue-haired girl. The statues of the god Far, the god of magic and alchemy, Tasha, the god of magic and alchemy, the old man with a long beard, were enshrined in a corridor-like building that ran around the courtyard.

　In front of the hall immediately after entering the temple was the courtyard, which could be seen without any doors. There was a huge hardwood tree that seemed to be over the roof of the temple, and several young trees that also had magnificent trunks. The rest of the trees are well-kept undergrowth.

　I didn't want people to see me from the corridor, so I stepped through the undergrowth and went under a huge tree. Since it is surrounded by shrubs, I guess that I can't be seen from here. Looking up at the giant tree, even the first branch is three times my height, spreading its branches all over the courtyard and creating a thick shadow. I sit down with my back against the giant tree, thinking that if I sit down I will not be able to see it completely, and serve myself the tea I made this morning. The sound of leaves rustling in the air is pleasant to my ears, and the wind is blowing well for a courtyard surrounded by buildings.
