The next day with the house extension. I was relaxing in my own home that I was able to live in.
　Well, it's kind of nice to have a home. It's not new construction, but it feels so good.
　Now we are all sitting around our desks in the living room, but it was hard work yesterday. I spent the whole day buying and carrying furniture and stuff and then bringing it into the room.
　Well, thanks to the power bracelets, I could carry the bed and desk by myself, so it was a lot easier than it was in the original world. It was quite noticeable when I borrowed a cart to carry them, but it can't be helped.

'Okura-dono, are you sure it was a good idea?'

Yeah, no problem. I don't mind sleeping on the floor.

　There are currently three private rooms in this house. The rooms were added after the aisle was extended. The added rooms have white walls and ceilings with no windows and wooden flooring. I think the size of the room is about 10 tatami mats. There is some sort of ventilation fan that seems to be able to replace the air itself... but I don't know where it is connected to.
　It's more spacious and clean than the two rooms that were originally here, and I thought that was just the power of the items from the gacha. The points are quite expensive, but it's well worth it.
　So, these three rooms. I'm using them all as private rooms for the girls. There is no room for me. They all told me that I should use the added room, but I gave it away for later.
　The comfortable home-grown power was appealing, but I wasn't in such a hurry to get it. So I decided to sleep on the couch in the living room or roll around in my sleeping bag until I had my own room.
　He's always been good to me and I want to make him a priority at times like this.

'I'm not sure I'd be happy in that room,'

It is good. The room is good enough for me.

'I don't mind it either. Like Okura-san, I don't mind sleeping on the floor.

　As a result of our discussion, it was decided that Estelle would use the expanded room and Nol and the others would use the original room. I don't know what room they will be using, but they were able to decide on the room in an amicable manner.
　They say they don't mind if Sisuha sleeps on the floor like I do, but I want her to be in bed there. You don't want to be like me.

Now that we have a base of operations, what should we do?

''Hmmm........there's also the expansion of the base, so should we still prepare for the gacha?

　I wasn't aiming for it, but the flow from the item gacha got me to the house in one fell swoop.
　
　The moment I heard that, I stared at Noll's face and clasped her hands in both of mine.

'Wow!　What is it, Okura-dono?

'I'm fiercely emotional right now I never thought I'd get the word from Nol that I'd be ready for the mess. Finally.....finally....you understand how I feel!

　There was a time when Nol was so reluctant to collect magic stones, but now he's spontaneously decided to collect them? My efforts have finally paid off.......welcome to the swamp of the mess. I feel like I'm going to be in tears.

"Oh, no, no!　No, sir, not at all!　I don't think I understand--

'You don't have to be shy. Well let's live up to your expectations and find a hunting ground other than the north cave. There are four of us already, maybe we can find another more efficient place to hunt.

'You're looking for a new hunting ground!　Now I want a good place to step forward too!

　He's waving his hands in the air and saying no, no, no, no, no, no, but he's embarrassed?　You don't have to be so shy. You should be more honest with yourself.
　Sisha is being too honest and I hope you'll weigh in. I mean, don't hope that you'll be the one to step forward, you're a priest, for one thing.

'Noor........'

'What? It's my fault, sir!　But even Esther would have thought of that!

'Yeah, right. You can expand your house with gacha, and it's not a bad idea to go for it and mess around.

　Jit-eyed, Esther is staring at Noor. But apparently she had the same idea.
　That's right, that's right. Gacha is a good thing, you know. And on a positive note, even if this thing blows up from this, you can still think of it as getting bait to turn it into points... is that okay?
　Well, at any rate, everyone seemed to be positive about the mess, and I'm glad I did the house extension.

'Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So...

But if he goes off the rails again, right?

Oh, yes...

　Estelle held her wand and an electric shock gushed out from the tip. After that, she looks at me in silence and smiles at me.
　

''So how many magic stones do you have now?''

Now that I've played the item gacha, that's 596.

Adequate quantity, yes.

　If I get 4 more, I'll have 600, which is equivalent to 12 times if I convert them into 11 stacks. Even with the current amount, it's possible to turn in a reasonable amount of gacha.
　But there's a chance of a 33-ring gacha, and I can't be relieved no matter how many magic stones I have. If only these were in the thousands.
　One day I would like to gacha without worrying about the limit... though if I do that, I feel like I'll forget something important.

''Hmm, for now, let's go back to the beginning and go to that forest.

　I'm in Brunne. It's been a long time since I've seen orcs in the forest.

I'm thinking...

　I had walked on foot before, but this time I took the magic carpet and got there quickly. I saw a few adventurer-like responses on the map along the way, but I avoided them and continued on.
　It's been a while since I've been here, but there are still goblins walking in front of the forest. It's a place that hasn't changed.



Hey, I'm sorry about that.

　I was about to go into the forest, but Noll, remembering the first campaign, made a reluctant noise and hesitated to go inside.
　Even thinking about it now, I'm sorry I did that.......I'll be careful not to do something like that in the future. But if it was Sisha, I think she'd be happy to do that one.......

''For someone with a big body, he's weak.

'When you say that while blowing up your body in plain sight... well, even we could afford it when we were low level.

　In fact, he was lightly stabbing an orc with his staff that had just jumped out like Sisha was going to walk by for a bit. The orc that was attacked in the head was not only blown off its head, but its entire upper body as well.
　 The efficiency of the hunt here now.................was already a blow to us since then?
　In the sense that we don't have to worry about getting hit, though, it seems like we can hunt with ease.

''Come to think of it, back then we only ended up finding a repop place, but I wonder what's going on in the back?

'Well?　Doesn't the forest go on forever?

　Last time I was hunting in a relatively shallow area. Looking at the map, the forest is quite extensive. The repopulation point itself doesn't seem to be that far away, but is there something deeper in this forest?

"Exploring is good for you, sir!　Okura-dono, let's go to the back!

'It's getting a bit exciting to be on an adventure!　I'd be happy to have a stronger enemy in this one.

I don't like the idea of being in the woods with all those bugs but it does sound like a bit of fun.

　The Noles are pretty flippant and are trying to get to the back of the house. We have a map app and a beacon at home, so we don't have to worry about getting lost when we get to the back.
　We've never done anything like exploring before, and are you happy to be able to do something like this?　I don't like having strong enemies, but I don't think there are any strong enemies in a place like this.
　I don't like bugs a bit either, but maybe I should try going deeper. Maybe there's something that will give you an item, like in the big defeat.

''Hm?　What is this?

What's the matter with you, brother?

Yeah, look at this.

　After going on for a while, a small black circle appeared on the map. It didn't appear when I was looking at it on the overall map, but when I got closer, it suddenly appeared... what does this mean?

What is it, sir?

'Does that mean there's something in here?'

　
　It's like they're telling you to go, that the map app bothered to show it to you.......it's kind of scary.

''I don't know if I'm worried about it, let's go.

　I wouldn't have had the option to go when it was just Noor and I, but now there are four of us. I can handle some things.
　Okay, we'll have to go and we'll move on.

'Hmmm?　What's this?

It's like a doorway.

　After walking for a while, we came to a spot marked on the map. There, the soil rose to a half-dome shape and there was a big hole in the ground.
　It is big enough for a person to pass with room to spare. When I looked inside, it was completely dark and I felt as if I was being sucked in. Maybe this continues to the underground?

Isn't this just like the labyrinth?

Labyrinth?　...I think we do look alike.

　It's definitely unnatural, like the entrance to a labyrinth. It feels unnatural, as if it wasn't something that was originally there, but suddenly appeared there........
　Hmmm........should we enter this one?　It's possible that there are demons like a labyrinth.
　........Let's go inside for now and check the demons before we proceed, or should we think about it?
