Year 7445, Month 1, Day 22

Yesterday we returned from the dungeon. Since we teleported into a passage with a lot of ogres in it yesterday we ended up having to explore until quite late. But, thanks to that were able to set a new record of 34 ogres in one day so while everyone tired myself included we were feeling quite good. Although, after we returned to the surface I ate some food and then went right to sleep. Furthermore, the goblins that appear here and there are just a waste of time so we just ignore their corpses without gathering their magic stones.

In any case I guess the fatigue has built up I ended up oversleeping a bit this morning. When I finished my preparations to go running and appeared in front of "Boil Manor" and the sky was already turning red (since there's still the outer crater the sun isn't visible yet), and only the two slaves and Basutoral were waiting. Basutoral seemed to be more exhausted than anyone else but it seems he woke up through sheer guts.

Soon after everyone appeared so after we went running, I called out Zenom and Giberuti and we all went to a restaurant called "Mensato" for breakfast. They have some delicious diced olives that are pickled in olive oil and salt. If you add a small amount of mayonnaise with that to some bread with vegetables and ham on it and it somehow becomes an extravagant sandwich.

These diced olives pickled in oil aren't sold anywhere. Giberuti has been giving it best to reproduce them but it seems that due to problems with the amount of salt and time pickled he still hasn't succeeded. Giberuti trying to ask the owner of a restaurant the recipe is something commonly seen for the {Slaughterers} but since it's how they make their living they aren't willing to teach it so simply. After all it's this stores specialty. I guess that means if you want to eat it then you have to come to the restaurant.

After eating breakfast and relaxing for a bit we went to sell all of the magic stones we earned in the dungeon this time. Since we didn't make it back until late last night we ended up eating and falling asleep without selling them. When we sold 62 ogre and 21 sand shark magic stones it exceeded 52,000,000 Z (52 gold coins) by just a bit.

All of the members other than Basutoral get 1 gold coin and 4 silver coins, I give Basutoral half that amount 2 gold Shu and 2 silver coins. Since it's only been a bit over a month since he joined the {Slaughterers} and in just entering the dungeon a mere three times he's made a bit over 1.5 gold coins in compensation Basutoral was greatly pleased.

Since he seems to have been the guitar and vocalist in an indies band in his previous life, the way he's diligent betrayed my expectations based on that sort of image in a good way. Since we've still only been together for about a month I can't lightly come to a conclusion but at the very least as far as I know he's using all of his spare time to practice writing and with the spear independently. It seems the details themselves were taught by Gwine but while it's just the basics he's repeating the same forms without getting bored. I think it was during a day off just before the day of judgement, I tried asking him.

"Hey~ Basutoral. You might be bored from just continuing the same forms but when you're thrusting you shouldn't just look at the end of the spear. Even if it's vaguely you should look at the entirety of your assumed enemy. Wouldn't it suck if they threw the weapon in their hands at you in desperation?"

He was a bit surprised when I suddenly called out to him during training but he quickly turned around to me and after standing his wooden training spear on the ground with his right hand Basutoral said this.

"Ah, Al-san. I see now, looking at the entirety of the opponent is it...However, I'm not bored of it. It's the same as the {guitar}. In the past, I think it was when I was still a middle school student, I went to a guitar class in the music class. The teacher of that class was good at teaching but their reputation wasn't very good. Why do you think it was?"

"No, I have no idea~"

"Normally they teach you how to play one or two simple songs after teaching you the most fundamental basics but that teacher was the type that taught the basics thoroughly. The average six string guitar, if you include the difficult ones has 187 types of chords but among those 84 types are said to be the fundamental ones. The teacher wouldn't let us play any songs until we could remember all of those 84 fundamental types. That sort of thing is boring or isn't that unreasonable? That's why that teacher wasn't very popular. Since there was a different guitar teacher in that class, once one student switched to that teacher and in no time at all almost everyone switched over there."

"Hn, well I'm sure that's true. I can somehow understand their feelings."

"Yeah, that's right. And, I hesitated on what I should but in the end I went to the class intending to change teachers. I went to the class just a bit early intending to tell the office worker that I intended to change classes but it was at that time, it was by chance but I could hear a tremendously skilled guitar. And, I ended up saying to the office worker. I want to learn from the person playing that guitar."

"Ah, I've read the ending. That extremely skilled person was the unpopular teacher right?"
