Year 7442, Month 12, Day 29
Morning, brother and the others stopped by Boil Manor. Since he had a practice match yesterday I thought he would drag out the day they return by one more day but it seems they're departing today just as planned. It seems that he'll be able to come around the middle or near the end of April next. Also it seems that the delivery of goods and taking orders will be the main thing that time but I was asked once again to find a good place to use as a headquarters in the capital. Of course I intended on that so I said leave it to me like you're riding on a large ship, but obviously he didn't get it like with Myun.
Rather than that, in regards to the condoms made intended for the royal family that I had them bring along but there were 50 bags this time. There's no way the royal family could need that many. I guess they intended for me to offer them as samples to the nobles and high-class brothels in Rombertia. After listening to various stories it seems that brother still sees room for improvement and is trying to make adjustments to them. I still don't have any experience on Orth but brother was saying things like "And, how was it? I think the ones I sent you last time should be a bit better than the last time. If there's anything you've noticed let me know."
It can't be helped so I said "How about making them ribbed along the way?" and he showed great admiration. He said, "What! Making them ribbed huh..After all you can notice things well. Once I return I'll try making a prototype right away. I'll need to remake a new model but I think it's a good idea.
Honestly speaking it's not my idea or anything like that.
I was overflowing with feeling like I wanted to lower my head to the makers of hygiene products in my previous life. I'm stealing their achievements and saying it almost like I thought of it myself. I feel sorry but this as well is all for the sake of preventing the spread of disease on Orth. Ah, though I feel like making them ribbed has no relation to the prevention of diseases though.
After talking until noon about our rough plans from here on out and the reputation of our current products, older brother and the others left.
After that I broke a sweat by running and then after getting some practice in the dungeon, I had dinner with Zulu and Angela and spent the rest of the day resting.

Year 7442, Month 12, Day 30
Today is New Year's Eve. Although, just because it's New Year's Eve doesn't mean there's any changes to the town of Baldukk like in Japan. When I was having breakfast with the slaves just in case I told them that dinner might be late for today. I went and bought another sandwich bento and while using my empty flask as a lunch box I entered the dungeon.
Today I intended to investigate the mechanism on how the room bosses revive which I had been putting off until now. Up until now I've always avoided entering the rooms to avoid the worst case possibility of danger when I'm in the dungeon alone. Today I intend on spending half a day until night to investigate it.
I quickly wiped out a group of goblins I encountered on the way and after taking down the Black Gargantuan Leech that was the boss of the first room, just in case I dragged the corpse to a corner of the room and then sat down on a stone in the opposite corner of the room. Of course I haven't collected the magic stone from the corpse. The current time is 7 in the morning.
30 minutes have passed. Nothing has changed.
Another hour has passed. Nothing has changed.
One hour has passed. Nothing has changed.
One hour has passed. I can hear the footsteps of what appears to be a group of monsters approaching the room.
I prepared my bayonet and was ready to fire off a spell but in the end the footsteps started go far off.
One hour has passed. It's just become noon. I had my lunch while being careful of the corpse that's covered in the darkness of the corner on the opposite side of the room. My caution ended up meaningless.
One hour has passed. Nothing is happening.
One hour has passed. I can feel the call of nature. While remaining cautious I took care of my business in a different corner of the room then covered it with dirt.
One hour has passed. There's no change at all. I'm starting to get tired of it already. I made some tea.
One hour has passed. There's still no change as usual.
One hour has passed. It's already 5 pm. I'm almost out of time huh?
30 minutes have passed. Just when I was about ready to head back already. Something like a haze started to swirl in the center of the room. But, it's just swirling around and there's nothing in particular that occurred after that. I tried to Identify the haze but I couldn't do it. I started to get afraid so I left the room to get as far away from the haze as I could. If it's something like poison gas then it would be bad after all.
While observing it from outside of the room I noticed that the haze gradually started to get thicker. I wonder if this is the revival of the room boss? I'd rather not approach it right now but I think it should be fine if I observe it a bit longer, even if I Identify myself I'm still healthy and there's no change to my condition it seems.
The thickness of the haze gradually increases, the center of the whirl is almost like a thick fog with how deep white it's gotten.
The white portion of it is gradually getting bigger. I think it's already been around five minutes since I noticed the haze.
And, from the center of the whirl there was a flash of white light. It wasn't all that strong. I guess so, something on the level of a 30-40 W fluorescent light. The light immediately disappeared. The fog cleared up at the same time as the light disappeared. And right now where there was a whirl of fog until now there's a monster in the center of it.
It's a Scavenger Crawler. It's just appeared and it's trembling with a purpuruto~
