Arriving in the Kingdom of Beryl, I arrived at the fishmonger's shop while enjoying the subtly disconcerting situation of walking alone in the royal capital. I bought several kinds of fish, but unfortunately could not get the eel I wanted. Apparently, eels are a poor man's food. The question is whether to play the knowledge cheat or to care about the people in the slum. Well, let's see how things go in the slum.

I walk towards the slum that the fishmonger told me about. I'd like to summon Sylphy, since I've heard that it's not safe there. But I'm a bit embarrassed to summon Sylphy so quickly after I've told him that I prefer to travel alone.

At any rate, I'm sure I'll be licked if I'm dressed like this, so I should change into my adventurer's gear in the shadows. If I carry a hammer of a certain size on my back, I can't be easily attacked by them. I'm afraid of surprise attacks because of the lack of a wind wall, but I should be able to defend myself to some extent, so I should be able to handle it.

One problem is that they might notice my presence because of the huge hammer, but it is a far away country and I believe that they will be fine only in the slum. Now it's just a matter of getting into the slum and seeing where it comes from.

The slum is located at the back from here. ...... The buildings are old and the atmosphere is rough but not filthy, probably because of the spread of magic in daily life. The slums in the labyrinth city were also clean to some extent, and the benefits of the life magic are quite amazing. Carrying a magic hammer, I step into the slum, keeping a watchful eye on the surroundings.

........................ can't find anyone to talk to. I can see a figure in the distance, but it slips away from me as I approach. I knock on the door of a nearby house, but no one answers. I have heard noises coming from the house, so there is a high possibility that the person is using his/her answering machine.

I've come to a conclusion! Mr. Sylphy help me. I summon Sylphy as fast as I can, without shame or shame. I don't think I'll lose easily in a fight, but if I fight a large group of humans, I'll lose my grip on them and my hammer will be used to make mincemeat of them. I don't care about zombies, but I don't want to be minced by humans.

My fantasy is about to come true. We can't just go in there like that. You can't go in well-equipped. Slums are hard. Maybe the safest thing would be to get an introduction from someone who has a connection to the slum, but I don't know anyone like that. What am I supposed to do?

I replied to Sylphy, and scary-looking people came out from the alley blocking my front and back. If I failed to negotiate, I would have to fight with these people. I don't want to feel bad about this trip I'm looking forward to, so I'll try my best to negotiate.
