Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne?

Year 7445, Month 9, Day 2

Miduchi and I left the dungeon around the time the date changed and after returning to the inn we left our horses we fell asleep until morning just like that. The two of us are still young and have healthy bodies so staying up one night or so is no problem but obviously it's not as if we don't want to sleep. We're just simply tired and there's no reason we need to return to Boil Manor in a hurry so it was just troublesome and we fell asleep like that.

Just past dawn we woke up and after checking out of the inn we returned to Boil Manor. It was just four hours but we properly got some sleep so it's no obstacle in being active. When we returned to the inn it seems it was after everyone had gone out for running. Now then, shall we go and run as well? I urge along Miduchi as she makes a slightly bothersome expression and after we put our protectors on and fill our rucksacks with weights we started running. I don't know if it's because of the increase in ability values in proportion to my level or just simply because I've been running for several years and used to it so my fundamental stamina is different but if I don't carry along the added weight including Miduchi I quickly put distance between everyone else.

After we returned to the inn and the four who were dispatched to the {Butchers} and {Sooner}(Since Zulu and Angela are in a different inn it's probably before they joined up) were already gathered in front of Boil Manor fully equipped. Gwine and Basutoral who weren't entering the dungeon didn't have their equipment on but were on the spot as well. In front of Toris, Bel, and Ralpha Zenom was saying something like, "Let's do a proper job again today without letting our guards down."

There the two of us returned from running and out of breath.

"Oh Al, Miduchi. Morning."

Zenom noticed and called out to us first. While breathing with a Ze~Ze~ we replied and as we had our hands on our knees catching our breath everyone greeted us. After regaining my breath I went to call out to Basutoral but ended up going into a coughing fit. During that time Miduchi finished up greetings and started talking to Gwine.

"How was yesterday?"

"No~ They brought out some pretty good alcohol and the meat was delicious as well. After all {Gehenna.Flare} is an interesting party right~"

Gwine replied with a smile. Of course I mean you're pampered like an idol after all.

There's no way they wouldn't make it fun for you.

"Also, Garun-san, he's kind and cool, I look up to him~"

Ah is that so, eventually I feel like I'll end up receiving a request for saya from you as well..

While looking at those two on the side I called out to Basutoral.

"Basutoral, do you have any plans for today?"

"No, just the same as usual with not much difference. Together with Cathy and Larry on the meat mincer.."

"Ah, that, about the meat mincer. Sorry but you're out of time. Sorry about that. As long as you have the materials I'll make the roll today. If it's necessary then additionally the knife and plate as well. Go and get some brass ore or copper-nickel ore before coming. I'm sure it's not all that expensive so at least pay for the cost of materials yourself."

Brass(Brass*), copper and nickel alloy, and additionally bronze all exist as ores. Furthermore, brass refers to brass* and when it comes to something familiar to Japanese people it's the material used in the 5 yen coin. It differs from what is commonly referred to as brass ore. It's also my number one candidate for cartridges in the future. Since the bracelet Myun had was made of brass as well I thought that alloys were being produced. When I went to Keel and tried asking in a blacksmith, I was a bit surprised to hear that it was normally being taken out of ores during the refining process.

When I found out about this I thought it made quite a bit of sense. Eh? About how low the techniques are in regards to the production of alloys and metallurgy on Orth. I mean, if a large number of metals already exist in the form of ores then the only thing that will develop is metallurgy for the sake of mining. It was to the point where I thought if I search I might find ores for the special steel that makes up the materials of my sword as well. Well, it doesn't seem to be major so even if it does exist it's probably only just a bit though.

He must have been at his limit, when I smiled at Basutoral as he was overjoyed, I took a breath and entered the inn while wiping my sweat.
