　On the first day of a three-day weekend, I woke up at almost ten o'clock.

　I fell back to sleep.

　It seems that everyone except Kikuhime and Shin are already in the room.

　Just then Peter wakes up next to her. They seem to have logged in at about the same time.

"Good morning.

"Good morning, did you get some pajamas?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, I don't want to sleep in my outfits or underwear forever, even if they don't get dirty."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Underwear might be possible if no one is around. Actually, Shin doesn't mind sleeping in his underwear, naked man.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'll buy one, too, if it's a kimono."

"Because I'm a ninja?"

"Because I'm a ninja."

"Why don't you ask Princess Kikuhime?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll do that."

We talk while washing our faces and eating.

"Oh, I got a text from Ochazuke asking me to go somewhere when Shin and the two of them come over."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I got one too.

How's the cat?

"He was too energetic, so I locked him out of his room. He's been visiting his parents lately. I was looking for the Thieves' Guild and I found the Assassins' Guild.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's a mess, man.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I can't tell you where it is, though, because they said if I told anyone, they'd have their assassin's license revoked and they'd have to switch locations."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You will be, won't you?　Assassin.

"Well, I found a used bookstore in the street and I want to tell you where it is, but I'm not sure if it's safe to tell you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's called the mysteries of the world, don't let people tell you what to do!　Solve it on your own!　That's the direction I'm headed."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I think it's safer not to teach. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't know, if the quest is a mystery, it would fall under . I mean, I talked to Ochazuke and the others yesterday before the announcement about the conditions for being a friend of the residents, so I think it's already branched off into a general quest, not a mystery."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Quests that are treated as mysteries of the world are not reflected in the list of quests until they are completed, and are listed in the list of mysteries after completion. If you complete a quest knowing the answer before solving the riddle yourself, it will be listed in the quest list instead of the riddle.

　It is said to be safe as long as you do not say anything definitive, but I think that the location information of the person you are looking for is in the wrong category. However, if you have a mysterious flag in your party, you can talk about anything with your party members. Peter is saying that he and I fall into this category.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Unfortunately, other people who are in the party but have not been flagged are excluded.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know if this is a mysterious flag or just a prelude to a general quest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So let me tell you..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah. Oh, the residents gave me a patrol car, I have to go collect the flags."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The little girl.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, it's not. Don't pull that!

"I also need to buy grapes at the stall and equipment at the craftsmen's quarter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So we took a group of people and came to the stall area, where there was no second-hand bookstore stall but a spice seller.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Excuse me, don't you sell used books here?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ah, the old used bookstore guy changes every ten days or so. I can't take time off, and if I don't keep the store open, I might have to move to an unpopular location when I decide where to open my next store.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see, so that's why they were unwilling to do it. And the mysterious sundries they had with them were tools for mixing and crushing spices.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We leave the stall area after talking about how we can't ask our competitors to take our place in the market even if we are good friends.

"I'll come back to buy some food, but I'll be patient."

"I was there the first night, so if you do the math, it looks like I'll be there every day. If it happens to be a weekday afternoon, it will be a long day.

He says he is going to the artisan's quarter, too, and is about to leave for the plaza when Peter stops him and walks with him, saying he will teach him about the secondhand bookstore. I won't let him get on the wagon!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oops, it's closed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Maybe it's because I'm here. Maybe you have to collect the flag to get in."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This used bookstore has a very tight guard.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, can I stop by the apothecary's guild?　I want to buy some recipes and stuff."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I went to the artisan district via the apothecary guild located in front of the east gate, wondering if I had broken the flag without going on the quest or not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder what the sword is like.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It seems that not only strength but also dexterity or speed are added, although which is still under verification.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Swords and axes have power, throwing has dexterity, staffs have magic or spirit, bows have dexterity and power, and thrusting swords have speed and power, or so I understand now."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guessed that the spear would have power and dexterity and the sword would have power and speed. There is a suspicion that the materials used are different, so the results are inconclusive. I think that the aptitude of a swordsman is usually determined by his occupation, but a swordsman who is not mainly a shield fencer has a wide range of weapons. But it seems to me that there's something about how easy you are to use, so I guess you should try out various cheap weapons and get the skills for the ones you find easy to use.

　I'm not sure if this is a good time to introduce White to you, but I'm sure you'll be able to find a party.

"The cheapest one-handed swords start at 1,000, so it's quite expensive to try everything except the initial one-handed swords. Why do they even sell hand spears?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, no, first of all, just because it's a party doesn't mean that white is visible, and white might not like it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Even if you sell it off, it will be less than half the price, and if you only go to the store in the square, there are still only orthodox ones."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'll check with White later.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll just buy a sword type one, just to see what he likes. If it doesn't suit me, I'll try a big sword.

　While choosing a weapon, I think about something completely different and come to a conclusion on both sides.

　I will not ask Luba to strike until I have at least decided on a direction and have some money to spend.

　He picks up a mass-produced weapon of average price and performance.

"What will Peter do with his main weapon?　I'm under the impression that you're going to buy a few dark weapons."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Maybe a dagger for now. I'd like to make a small dagger or a ninja sword, but I don't think there is a Japanese sword type of the same sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The sword I have is a thin, single-edged, warped but fantasy-looking weapon.

"I'm sure the whole country will be discovered or implemented along with rice, Japan.

"Well, until you find one, why don't you use your existing sword and paint the blade black to make it look like a sword?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh. I'll do that."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Peter can't handle two-handed weapons well because of his occupation, which seems to give him a negative compensation, and I had a problem with swords when I was a mage. You are free to choose your weapon of choice, but each profession has its own rank, and you must choose the weapon that suits you best. Not only the profession, but also the weapon and the material used for the weapon, which is compatible with the skill.

　It's hard to face the boy with the cane. I'll have to go with the long staff and the sword. Suddenly the face of the boy in the workshop comes to mind, and I wonder again about my main weapon.

　I sell the robe and the plate I was wearing in time and buy a coat at the same store as Peter. He can wear light armor, but it feels uncomfortable to wear it because of the robe he had on first, so he decides to wear the coat and the small hands and metal-reinforced boots.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course the plate has a higher physical defense, but the coat has a higher magic defense instead and does not interfere with evasion.

　By the time I had finished shopping, the sun had set and a yellow moon was peeking out, following the white moon that had been in the sky during the day. Many workshops had already closed their shops, and the alley was a little deserted.

　Ochazuke called me and said that Shin and Kikuhime had not arrived yet, but that we should meet at a restaurant.

　It's time for the horse-drawn carriages, and I've already come out that I don't like horse-drawn carriages.

Good evening.

I answer Leo's wave and take a seat.

　I ask the waiter for a pot-au-feu-like dish and a ginger ale-like non-sweet soda, and Peter gets a sausage platter and a beer. I wonder if iced tea is available in this city. I'm fine with something warm if I'm just going to drink it. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, kanpai~!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Clink glasses and make a toast, Japanese style. Leo does this every time, so the first drink is always by the glass. I don't know why Leo likes to make toasts if he can't drink either.

"Shin and Kikuhime haven't come yet, but let's make a plan. Let's go to the boss and go to the next town, shall we?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I thought you had to be D-ranked to be allowed to go to any other town but this one."

"Yes, if you register for a transfer stone, you can move around the city quickly for a fee."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When someone defeats the boss, the city is released and people can come and go, but they must travel on foot or by carriage. The bosses can be transferred in an instant by registering the transfer stone dropped by the boss at the gate of transfer in the temple, so that other players who follow the person who liberated the city will eventually defeat the boss.

He showed his knowledge that he had acquired by browsing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, yeah?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"There's no way to get north from this city, so I guess we'll have to go through some other city."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Let's go straight north~!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Leo begins to talk nonsense.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, no, I have a feeling we'll end up lost.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, the distances between towns are usually long in this world, and you are bound to get lost if you go down a road without a path.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I would like to explore the roadless areas after at least knowing the direction of the town on the map. By the way, it took me two and a half days to get to the neighboring Secant.

"If the enemy is too strong and we can't make it, we can go right back."

Peter agrees and the oatmeal is poured.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm off tomorrow, so that's fine, but if I'm not, I'm going to have to fall in the field for real, and if Shin and Kikuhime are okay with that..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Come to think of it, I used to like ruins in real life too, Leo, though I never accompanied you on your explorations.

We need to set up camp.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I won't be able to get there in one day!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We waited for Shin and Kikuhime to log in, prepared our campsite, and set out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was up to them whether to go west or north.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Either way, they decided to take a rest while they could. We also need to decide how to reserve a room at the inn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'll e-mail Shin and Kikuhime when I log out. I'll call you when the time changes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then at 12:30.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Have lunch!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We made plans to reconvene and logged out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had already eaten lunch or brunch, so I decided to prepare for dinner.
