Let's have a strategy session.

What exactly is going on here, sir...

　We returned to the inn and promptly rented our usual room. Then we sit down at the table to discuss our future plans.
　It's all because of the announcement that came out earlier, 【Double UR Unit Discharge Campaign】. It says on the banner that the campaign will be held in 10 days from tomorrow.
　I must collect as many magic stones as possible before then.

''That's why I'll tell you the plan. I won't accept any rebuttals, okey?

Oh I'm not going to do it, sir!　Is this a plan that will be refuted!

'No, I'm fine. I'll just be a little reckless.

I don't feel all right at all...

　Noor sounds anxious. 'I'm not going to say anything crazy like that either.

'Well, let me put it simply. First, we're going to the usual forest to hunt black oaks.

Unchanged, right?

　It's the Black Orcs that drop the magic stones. So I'm sure I'm going to hunt this guy.

''However, even if I hunt for 10 hours in my usual hunt, the efficiency of the magic stones per day is 10 to 11. This isn't good enough.''

What do you mean?

　It takes 50 of them to get 11 in a row each time. If I was doing it at the pace I've been doing it, it would take almost 5 days to pull one out.
　The previous day's hunt was going to the forest sluggishly and spending about 2 hours, including the time it took to get home. Plus the hunt was a couple of hours loose and I was home before dark.
　So the amount of magic stones he earned in a day was about five at most. This kind of pace is not worth talking about.　　

''So I've come up with an innovative idea to increase this daily efficiency to nearly 50.

Oh, that's great, that's five times. So, what is the method?

　How can we improve efficiency? Increase your efficiency, which means increasing the speed at which you hunt black orcs.
　Even now, a Nole can take out a black orc in one hit. So where do I save time?

"I'm going to run it into a repop place.

Huh?

That's why I'm running into the repop place.

　So here I am, thinking. So far I've been waiting for them to come out of the woods. If taking them down was a blow, then the only thing left to do was to shorten the time I encountered them.
　Then the shortest thing we can do is find a place to repopulate. Demons don't usually come out of their realm for a certain amount of time. However, they come out when people pass near the area.
　When I was hunting in the forest, I knew the extent of it well. The only exception would be when the number of them exceeds a certain number, they would come out in groups.

'Do you intend to go into the forest, sir!

That's what I'm talking about.

It is dangerous!　This is a madness!　You will be lost!

That's where this map app comes in. Now you won't get lost. Once you've gone and specified a location, you can get to your repop location in no time. Plus, you'll know where the enemies are.

　Show the phone to Noll. This map app, it shows the enemy's location as a red dot. You can even leave a mark on the map, so once you're there, the rest is easy.
　In a forest, visibility is poor and it may be difficult to notice the approach of enemies. But with this, you'll know that too.

'As for the battle, Noor. I'll let you do your best.

Are you an ogre, Okura-dono?

I told you I'd be with you the rest of my life.

Yeah, and I've been meaning to talk to you about...

　With a troubled voice, Noll squirms her index finger together.
　Without her, this plan wouldn't be possible.

'Please Noll, you're the only one I can count on.

All right.....

I needed to hear those words.

　He seemed unconvinced, but I was able to make him shake his head.
　I'm not going to take no for an answer.

''So, I'll aim for 50 hunts a day.

Fifty?　That wasn't an example, was it a quota?

'Don't worry, we'll take our breaks. And I'll take this on the way home.

　Collect 50 per day, the number of times you can draw 10 times in 10 days; if the odds are the same as the GC odds, the UR is 1%; if it's twice as many, the odds are that you'll get an UR one out of every five times in 11 series.
　Since I didn't have time to leave, I used the beacon I'd pulled the other day. I wanted to leave it in my room, but I couldn't, so I hid it in the grass outside the city. It'll only take a second to get home.

I repeat: Our target for the day is 50 beacons. Collect as many magic stones as possible.

　You can get nearly 10 in a couple of hours. That means I can get 50 of them in about 10 hours.
　I just have to get up a little early in the morning and hunt a little longer. Yeah, no problem.

●

　Day 1 of recovering the magic stone.
　Me and Noll headed to the forest early in the morning. When we got to the vicinity of the forest, naturally, goblins and orcs would come out from inside.
　Normally, we would wait here and hunt the ones that came out. However, this time, I killed them all in the blink of an eye and walked into the forest.
　Visibility is not that bad in the forest, and the light of day is coming in, so there was no problem. Some of the plants and trees were trampled because of the orcs passing through, or some kind of walkable path. Noll would be close enough to respond at any time.
　I move on while I map it out on my phone. All the while, demons are attacking me, but Noll kills them in the blink of an eye.
　I'm going to go through the drop items until I figure out where to repop them. I turn the magic bag forward and sling it over my shoulder. Now I'm ready to pick it up and put it in immediately.

'Whoa, there's a spring. You mean that's the repopulation point?

That's the way demons come in, isn't it?

　I could see a slightly larger area that wasn't covered in trees or anything else. There, I could see the light gathering and the demons being born, just as they glowed and disappeared when the demons were defeated.
　So this is the repopulation zone for the demons. I quickly add the markings on the map app.

Okay, let's move on to the next one.

What, I thought we were going to stay in there and hunt?

Don't be silly. Who said anything about hunting at one repop point?

He's a devil...

　There should definitely be more than one repop location. If you're looking for efficiency, it's better to hustle through multiple repop zones, not just one repop location. While you're waiting for time to spring up, move to another repop location to reduce waste. Ideally, you hunt with no time to wait for a spring.

'Phew, that's how we're going to end the day.'

Sigh ... sigh ... I'm dying ... I'm dying, sir.

Do you want me to take some vitamins?

Are you sure it's a vitamin?

　We've been hunting since early morning and the sky is starting to turn a sunset color by now. Today, I got 52 magic stones.
　Nohl also looks tired from hunting. I call them vitamins and give him a potion I found at the grocery store. This will make him feel a little better.

　Day 3.
　We took turns hunting while going to each repop location. I also deal with goblins and orcs, and pick up some drop items.
　I found five repop locations on the first day, and now I'm going through the three closest ones in order, and when I finish hunting the third one, the first one springs up just in time, so it's pretty efficient.

'It's depressing to see the same demons all around...'

Really?　It's just easier.

　As soon as it springs up, I take down Noll, but he seems to be slightly less energetic. I'm motivated by my greed for messes, but was it too much for her?

'Ugh, I don't want to eat oak meat for a while..... Lately I've been seeing orcs and goblins in my dreams.

It's only seven days away. Good luck with that.

　Nol grunts when he hears it's the 7th. I'm really sorry. When this is all over, I'll have something good to eat... or is the meal too delicate?
　We have successfully collected 52 pieces today and have collected 162 pieces to date. That's going well.

　Day 5.
　I'm on the hunt again early in the morning. But there is no conversation between us.
　I use the map app to inform them of the enemy's location, and Noll handles it silently and unobtrusively.

You okay?

I'll be fine, sir.

Yeah?

'Yes. I'm fine.　

　The reply was as if there was no emotion in it, and it sent a little shiver down my spine. I think I'm going to be stabbed from behind. That's what the thought of that is going through my mind.
　The total number of pieces of work done to date is 246. Noll's reaction may have slowed down a bit. I hunt as much as I can, but I should stop picking up drop items and focus on the hunt.

　Day 8.

Black Orc. Black Orcs are welcome. Oh, there's an orc!

Hey, get a grip!　This is a city now!　Also, that's a human being, it's rude, stop it!

Hehehe, Nole, I love meat.

　I cut off the middle of the day and came back today. There are now a total of 396 magic stones. The figure is for the original 38 combined. It's not much, less than I planned.
　The original plan would have been 438 here. I pulled up today without being able to collect 50 of them.
　That's because Noll's behavior went completely wrong in the middle of the hunt. I started crying with laughter in the middle of the hunt. Removing the helm didn't bring me back to my senses and I had no choice but to come back with a beacon.
　When I got back to town, I found a fat man and pointed at him and laughed that he was an orc. Too rude. I hurriedly hugged him and held him down and managed to drag him back to the inn.

''Ugh........orcs........orcs.......oh, I'm going to kill you........''

Is this too much?

　As soon as I put her to bed, she falls asleep. I wondered if it was still mentally tough on her.
　She even seems to be fighting with orcs in her dreams. She has only two days left.
