When I got back, all the rimel birds went out to greet me.

The slimes were present too, but they couldnt say anything.

As I let out a lifeless voice in the mines, I fed the slimes and arranged my luggage.

In order to feed the charcoal-eating cleaner slimes, I started building a kiln for them.

The place I chose was the wall of rocks next to my house, in an area between a tunnel entrance and the entrance.

I dug a hole right next to the existing tunnel, then gradually expanded it until it became a room shaped like an ellipse.

It was good enough for me to just use Rock to supplement the room from time to time, so it didnt take that much effort to make.

By the time I was done, the room was high enough for a child to walk around and big enough to accommodate one or two adults as a tent.

Next up are the slimes.

I called an earth slime and a huge scavenger slime.

As the earth slime rode the huge scavenger slime, the huge scavenger slime raised it up near the ceiling.

When it was near the ceiling, it caused a part of the ceiling to turn into sand and collapse.

Like that the slimes were able to gradually bore a hole through the ceiling.

After creating an entrance from the tunnel, we went a step further and created a path leading to the tunnels above.

The slimes looked like they still had a lot of energy left, so I had them reinforce the walls as they came back.

With this the chimney was mostly completed, which meant that the charcoal kiln was also mostly complete.

It was so easy that I couldnt help but wonder to myself if it was really okay like this, but the kiln works, so I guess thats that.

There are other ways to make a kiln.

Theres the traditional method which involves digging a hole for the kiln, building a frame, stuffing it with wood, then burying it with wood and dirt.

Theres also the drum method which involves a drum and a fire.

Theres a lot of ways to make a kiln, but the key point is to prevent the heat from escaping and to maintain the air to bake the wood.

In my case, Im going to put a cover over the chimney to keep the heat from escaping.

As for the maintenance of the air, red soil kneaded with stone and water will do.

And thats that for the kiln.

Next, Ill go and do some rounds around the mine.

This part of the mine hasnt been reached by the management much, so the area around my house is full of weeds.

But when you think about how all these weeds can be used for fuel, its not so bad.

The weeds have grown high enough for me to be able to hide in them, but if I trim them and place them under the sun, depending on the weather, I could use them to get material I can easily start a fire with.

Of course, I could also use them to make charcoal.

—I suddenly heard the cries of the rimel birds.

When I looked up at the sky, my rimel birds were flying together as usual, but something was different.

The light in the backdrop made it hard to see clearly, but it seemed like there were a lot of other small living creatures flying.

The rimel birds surrounded them in the air.

They seemed to be using magic too, as the other flying creatures were… Ah.

When the movement of the other flying creatures were restricted, Eins let out a shrill cry, and in the next moment, all of the other flying creatures fell at the same time.

Theyre like a pod of dolphins hunting.

Even though theyre supposed to be birds…

Surround the enemy, then use the nightmare birds special mind-type attack.

I dont know if their targets all fainted or not, but they all fell into the ground as if theyd lost control.

I saw some of the rimel birds eating some of those other flying creatures while still in the air, though.

Were they snitching food

As I thought that, I went to the area near the top of the mountains were those things fell.

“Found it.

Hey!” [Ryouma]

“Ah, never mind.

Just eat.” [Ryouma]

My timing was a bit bad when I called out to the rimel birds, as a result, they ended up replying while their beaks were still full, creating a rather splattery sight.

So, those other flying creatures were cave bats, huh.

When I asked that, one of the rimel birds took off and came back after chirping in front of a tunnel.

It seems theyre in that tunnel.

Its not to the same extent as before, but it seems some monsters have made a home for themselves again after I left for a while.

Does he think I want some because I was staring Drei had brought one with him, but I dont really want to eat a bat.

Still, if there are any leftovers, Ill be sure to preserve them.

How much they want to eat, however, is completely up to them.

Its their kill.

Its a load off my back if theyre hunting the bats, so I just wished them luck and left.

In the past, whenever I saw them hunt, they hunted alone, so its a bit unexpected to see them hunt together.

…Come to think of it, since they can use wind magic, I wonder if they can use Sound Bomb if I teach it to them.

If they can, then thatll make it even easier for them to hunt.

Ill try teaching them next time.

The next day.

“Good morning.” [Ryouma]

“Oh, Ryouma-kun.

Are you working here today” [Maelyn]

When I dropped by the adventurers guild early in the morning, I happened into Maelyn-san who was sticking some jobs onto the bulletin board.

“Yes.

Theres not a lot of work to do at my store right now, so Im thinking of going back to my adventurer work.” [Ryouma]

“Oh! Really Thats good to hear.

What kind of job are you looking for” [Maelyn]

“Actually, theres something I need to deal with and was hoping to get some advice.” [Ryouma]

“Dont worry.

Part of our duties is to support the adventurers.

So if theres something you need to talk about, Im all ears.

I cant promise Ill be very helpful, though.

Itll depend on the topic.

Afterwards…” [Maelyn]

“Y-You cant!” [Receptionist]

Hmm The reception area is getting noisy.

“Oh… Excuse me.” [Maelyn]

“Cant be helped,” Maelyn-san muttered as she approached the two men and the unfamiliar receptionist girl.

“Hey, you two! Can you please not tease our receptionist so much” [Maelyn]

“Oh, Maelyn-san.” [Male 1]

“Sorry.

We might have been pushing it.” [Male 2]

The two men quickly apologized and left, and now the receptionist girl is apologizing to Maelyn-san Why

While I was wondering what was going on, Maelyn-san called for me.

“Is something the matter” [Ryouma]

“Let me introduce you.

This girl here is Paena-chan.

She just started last week.” [Maelyn]

“H-Hi.

Im Paena.

I-Its nice to meet you.” [Paena]

“Ryouma Takebayashi.

Its nice to meet you too.” [Ryouma]

“I think you get it already, but shes a really shy kid, so its easy for young men to tease her.” [Maelyn]

“Uu… Im sorry.” [Paena]

Hmm… I guess shes about the size of a high-school student She looks human to me, but her small stature gives her an aura that resembles that of a small animal.

She doesnt stand out as much when lined up with Maelyn-san, but shes good-looking and shes also unsophisticated.

Shes the sort of person thats easy to get involved with.

…Oops.

I started going down the gloomy road there.

Lets change the topic.

“So, Maelyn-san, did you need me for something” [Ryouma]

“As Ive said before, its part of our job to hear out adventurers.

So I was wondering if youd be okay having this girl hear you out instead.

Of course, Ill be present too of course in case she needs help.” [Maelyn]

“Oh, thats no problem at all.

Ill be in your care, Paena-san.” [Ryouma]

“Y-Yes! Ill do my best!” [Paena]

After that I brought to another room.

It wasnt particularly big, but there was a chair and a desk, so it was more than enough for a little talk.

“Didnt know there was a room like this here.” [Ryouma]

“Its often used to guide neophyte adventurers and interrogate adventurers that have committed a crime… Ah! Please.

Take a seat.

Also, tea…” [Paena]

“Oh, its alright.” [Ryouma]

“Sorry to keep you waiting.

Ive brought drinks.

Now.

Lets start.” [Maelyn]

After finishing sticking the jobs on the bulletin board, Maelyn-san came back with drinks for all three of us and urged us to start the counselling process.

“So, what did you want to seek advice about” [Paena]

“Its about my future activities as an adventurer.

Ive managed to set a goal for myself, and although Im only an E Rank right now, in the future, I should be able to rank up to a C… So I was wondering if it would be possible to get a list of jobs related to the monsters in this list that I could do while working toward my promotions.” [Ryouma]

“Can I see that …Treant.

Mad Salamander.

Karifu Monkey…” [Paena]

When I handed her the list of monsters that could be found in the Great Shurus Forest, she started comparing the monsters in it with those in her documents.

“…There are monsters here that are beyond an E Rankers jurisdiction.” [Paena]

“Thats alright.

Ill just take those on when Ive been promoted.

Still, it would be nice if I could get some information on those monsters right now.

I hear the guild also deals with information on geography and monsters.

Would it be possible for me to get such information too” [Ryouma]

“Absolutely! It would cost you money and several days worth of time if youre looking for much information, but it is definitely possible.

How much information do you need” [Paena]

Lets see… Id like to at least know basic information of the monsters in the list, such as their habitat and ecology.

The most-up-to-date information would be great, but Im sure thats impossible… Still, theres no point in knowing where the monsters have been spotted if a long time has already passed.

I think Ill just ask them to provide whatever information they can.

“Also, if you can get the information on the Great Forest of Shurus and all of the monsters living in it, that would be great too.” [Ryouma]

“Wait.” [Maelyn]

“Is something the matter” [Ryouma]

“The Great Forest of Shurus… And this list of monsters… Are you planning on going there” [Maelyn]

“Thats my goal.” [Ryouma]

I gave her the same explanation I gave to Serge-san and the others.

“…And thats the gist of it.” [Ryouma]

“…I see.

Sorry for butting in.

So long as you increase your rank and do the proper preparations, the guild has no right to stop you.

Continue.” [Maelyn]

“…This much information would take quite a while… Sorry, senpai.” [Paena]

“For the documents, the completed documents will require enough money to cover the costs of the paper used, as well as the ink, and then theres also the salary of the people that worked on the documents.

The scope of the information youre looking for is fairly expansive, so itll take more than two weeks but less than a month to gather everything.

In the worst case scenario, youre looking at 10 small gold coins in damages or in the best case scenario, just one small gold coin — Is what she should have told you at a time like this.” [Maelyn]

“The costs wont be an issue.

I would rather not try to haggle with the price, only to end up with insufficient information.

Ill pay as much as necessary, so long as you can get me accurate information.” [Ryouma]

“The guild guarantees the accuracy of the data.

After all, since its you were talking about, Im sure youll be able to pay… Well then, Paena-chan, can you please prepare the contract and the blank form for the exchange.

Ive taught you the process, right” [Maelyn]

“Yes!” [Paena]

After she left the room, only Maelyn-san and I were left.

“I cant believe youre from that place.” [Maelyn]

“Are you familiar with the great forest” [Ryouma]

“Hmm~… Only because of work.

But I do know that its a dangerous place.

But after finding out where youre from, its all starting to make sense.” [Maelyn]

“What do you mean” [Ryouma]

“Your abilities are simply too great compared to normal children.

Even back there at the mines, you were put in a B Rank group, and you even fought hordes of goblins… You dont know about this, but youre actually a rather popular topic among the employees…” [Maelyn]

“R-Really” [Ryouma]

T-They were talking about me Scary…

“Ufufu… We werent talking about anything bad.

It was all praises.

Something along the lines of how skilled you are or how you got rid of the work that have been piling up in the dust.” [Maelyn]

“Thats fine then.” [Ryouma]

“Talking about skills, though… I guess if you were able to get out of that place alone… If you were skilled enough to leave… I guess its only natural that youd be strong, huh I hear the monsters there are on a completely different level.

Even if two monsters are the same type, their individual strength, the frequency of their attacks, and even the likes of goblins are different when theyre at that place…” [Maelyn]

“Sorry to keep you waiting!” [Paena]

Paena-san is back.

Did she forget something …No.

Just now she saidSorry to keep you waiting… And shes also handing a document…

“…Yup.

Good job.

Thisll work.” [Maelyn]

“Thank you very much! Umm… Please confirm the contents and sign here.” [Paena]

“Ah, sure…” [Ryouma]

…I dont see anything wrong with the contents.

The things I mentioned earlier have also been included.

“Done.” [Ryouma]

“Thank you! …This is the proof of your exchange with the guild.

Youll need to exchange it with the document when the time comes.

Please dont lose it.” [Paena]

“Understood.

‘Item Box.” [Ryouma]

I doubt Ill lose it if I store it in here.

“Umm… This settles this case, and uh… Next… Oh, what job will you be taking today” [Paena]

“Lets see… I need to rank up.

Do you know of any difficult jobs nearby Preferably, one that doesnt take much time to do and something that could easily bring up my rank.” [Ryouma]

“If you want a hard job, I think there should be a couple, but… Oh! Please wait a bit.

I have just the job for you.” [Paena]

Paena left like the wind and came back with a sheet of paper.

“Sorry to keep you waiting! Here it is.

Umm… Just to confirm, that spell you used earlier, thats dimension magic, right So you can use dimension magic, right Because if you can, this job might just be what youre looking for.” [Paena]

“A transport job… The destination: Kereban.

I know this place.

I heard a magic tools fair is meant to open in it soon.

But… The fixed date isas quickly as possible” [Ryouma]

“Umm… Apparently, after loading the transport carriage with the goods and sending it on its way, the client forgot to load this one package… The client wants this delivered on the afternoon of the day after tomorrow if possible, but you wont have to take responsibility even if you fail to make it.

After all, the client was the one who made the mistake.

So long as you dont lose it or break it along the way, the job wont be marked asfailed.

If someone had noticed the package when the next transport was being loaded, we wouldnt be in this predicament…

So, anyway, I was thinking that since you can use dimension magic, you might be able to make it in time… So… Umm… Im so sorry…” [Paena]

“You dont have to apologize! I wont fail and youre really doing a good job, so..” [Ryouma]

She was frighteningly fast in preparing the documents and she even brought a suitable job for me after seeing me using dimension magic nonchalantly… The documents were also properly formatted even though she worked on them so fast.

It cant be helped if she doesnt fully understand the contents of the job, right At first, I thought she was a clumsy girl, but considering how its only been a week since she was recruited, isnt she actually really talented

When I turned to Maelyn-san, she made a troubled face and nodded her head while smiling.

“She can do her job well.

Its just that shes really timid.

Thats why I keep telling her she should be more confident…” [Maelyn]

“Sorry…” [Paena]

What a difficult person…

But the job she recommended is pretty good, so I think Ill take it.
