Loloi sells relics that are not sold at all.

How this Loloi lived is gradually becoming clear.

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

First, the food.

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

Loloi's staple diet consisted of the meat of wolffish and the plants and trees that grew wild around the area.

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

He ran around the ruins on a solo treasure hunt.

Turning back monsters that attacked him.

Recovering mana from the monster's body.

And he was dismantling the corpse of Wolfes and using it as a food source. He said that he had cooked the manna through fire.

If we get a lot of mana," he said, "we can buy Kodlis with a little extravagance sometimes. Sometimes they would splurge and buy codlice. But the moo moo in Albas is much better!

Water, by the way, was just like ours. They drank mainly from the city's shared well.

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

Sometimes they drank water from the river, too...

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

What kind of meat is urfes? They don't usually use it for food, you know?　And if you drink the river water around here, you'll get a stomach ache.

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

But there was nothing else to eat, so we had no choice. But I had no choice because there was nothing else to eat. Also, I've never had a stomach ache, so I'm fine.

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

Seriously?

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

You ate goblins too!

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

And they're okay with river water, too...

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

I'm not talking about a wild child here.

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

I mean, Loloi. You've never taken a quest before!

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

'It's not like a treasure hunt, so I kind of didn't want to. And I don't really know how to do it."

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

Seriously?

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

In the first place, Loloi had not even registered with the Adventurers' Guild.

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

He was a very good player, but he was not a good player. After defeating Wolfe's... antlers and skins?"

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

I asked fearfully.

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

'They were inedible and of no use, so we threw them away. They were usually gone after a little while.

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

Seriously?

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

That's too much of a waste!

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

You can usually sell them to a material store.

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

It's much more profitable than selling relics.

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

Or, someone is stealing it.

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

Loloi had too little common sense as an adventurer.

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

He and Burgess were stunned.

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

I don't know how he survived until he was this age.

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

We had done nothing but talk in the street store plaza," he said.

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

I'm going to take this to the extreme," he said. I'm going to train Loloi to be an adventurer.

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

Burgess was getting all worked up.

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

Loloi is a treasure hunter!　He is not an adventurer!

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

But he was easily turned down.

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

But..." "But... But... I'm willing to go on adventurer's quests to prepare for a big treasure hunt!

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

And so, the four of us decided to form a party.

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

We had to do some quests in order to collect funds to dive into the ruins.

Chris is a boy swordsman.

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

Compared to when we met him two months ago, he had become such a skilled adventurer that it was hard to believe he was the same person.

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

First of all, his equipment is different.

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

Two months ago, he was equipped with a "longsword" that emphasized appearance and a stiff "full mail" that covered his entire body, also emphasizing appearance.

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

But...

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

Now he is equipped with a narrow "saber sword," which suits his physique, and a "part maille," which partially covers his chest to abdomen and thighs, protecting only the most critical areas.

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

The helmet had also been changed from a full-face to a half-type.

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

Looking at his face again, he is quite a handsome man.

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

He has a neutral face that would look good if he were dressed up as a woman.

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

I guess he is following the Burgess Theory, which says that "it is easy to catch a beautiful girl when you have a good-looking boy with you".

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

I was a little ...... creeped out.

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

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it will work.

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

The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your car is to get the most out of your car.

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

The first thing to do is to make sure that you have the right equipment. The way he dexterously hunts them down one by one with hit and away is already quite a sight to behold.

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

Maybe already.

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

He could probably hunt down 10 Wolffes by himself without any problem.

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

If this is what Burgess has been preparing in the past two months, then he is a very good instructor.

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

Even if his ulterior motive is 90%.

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

For Chris, the boy swordsman, Burgess would be nothing more than a mentor.

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

But.

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

Ugh...wow!"

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

Chris is driven to the point of no escape against the trees at the invitation of Wolfes.

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

His tactics are still not very good.

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

Well, still, he's already a hundred times stronger than me!

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

Toooooooooooooooo!"

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

And Chris was rescued by Loloi just in time.

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

Chris!　Are you okay!

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

Loloi rushes to Chris after fighting off a swarm of Wolfes.

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

Oh, oh..."

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

Chris was helped up by Loloi.

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

Then, after looking at each other for a while...

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

Chris looked away in embarrassment.

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

Burgess is looking at the two of them with a satisfied look on his big brother's face.

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

Burgess.

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

You.

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

I think you really want to get close to Loloi....

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

That's why you invited Loloi to the party.

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

Those two.

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

If you leave them alone, they'll probably fall in love just like that.

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

'Cupid Burgess.'

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

I was getting a little weepy with those two names in my head again.

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

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

After that.

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

We spent a few days doing multiple quests and earning a decent amount of mana.

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

As for the fighting, Burgess and Loloi handled it with little danger. These two are usually strong.

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

Chris, who supports them, is also getting good at what he does.

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

By the way, I was just collecting corpses.

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

With a party of four, we were earning 5,000 to 8,000 mana from our daily quests.

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

If we earned this much. It was enough for the whole party to make a living just by doing a quest once every few days.

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

It was no longer a problem to call it an intermediate to advanced class party.

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

By the way, if I were to leave, we could definitely call ourselves an advanced party.

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

Normally, this party would not have to work so hard to complete the quests.

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

However, our objective was to collect funds for exploring the ruins, so we continued to accumulate funds through repeated quests.

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

We also wanted to earn as much money as possible before our competitors entered the market. I tried to open a barbeque stall in the mornings and evenings.

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

I was making good money from that.

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

But today, I'm closing up store.

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

If we use too much moo moo meat, there will not be enough for Loloi to eat during the treasure hunt.

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

Therefore, the opening hours were set a little shorter.

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

When the occasional customer complained, it was time to advertise.

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

'Moo moo meat is rotten if you go west to Morto Town!'

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

And.

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

"And then, by all means, stay at the Arcana Public Bath Inn in the nearby village of Yak!"

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

And so on.

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

The party's shared mana was accumulating rapidly.

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

With that mana, we steadily prepared for our exploration of the ruins.
