Year 7443, Month 3, Day 12

Today, once again I tried going to the real estate agency aimed towards businesses. If possible a building which has a storefront attached on the main street close to the castle would (Obviously enough space for one family to live is also necessary) be good. Since it will also act a work place it needs good water circulation, in other worlds a location where it's easy to use the drainage is desirable. I conveyed these conditions and said to contact me at the Boil Manor of Baldukk where I'm staying if something is found. I told them that if it was a purchase then 30,000,000 Z (30 gold coins), or lease then I'll pay up to 2,000,000 Z. This amount is slightly higher than the market price.

Since I said everything I wanted I quickly left the real estate agency but since I did a preliminary inspection of places that seemed to be good prospects it ended up eating quite a bit of time. During that time Gwine and the others went to Gwine's house and loaded all of her belongings for the time being into her carriage. I'm sure it's not a lot of stuff but it seems she's also going to discuss with an acquaintances company about taking over the grains and vegetable seeds remaining in inventory as well.

I was sure they would take a reasonable amount of time so I thought my business would finish sooner but they had already arrived at the meeting place. Since we didn't know at all how much time we would take we just vaguely set the meeting time to afternoon so it can't be helped but I felt a bit sorry I made the four of them wait. However, it seems they only arrived about 10 minutes before I did so it was perfect timing.

Looking at the carriage and their belongings are one backpack that seems to belong to Toris and this should be Gwine's stuff, there's two large baskets that seem to be came from rattan, three or four small baskets that I can see.

They all seem to be made of knitted rattan and have a lid on them. As expected she has more belongings than Bel and Ralpha.

Furthermore, in regards to Gwine's horse and carriage, we ended up setting negotiations with me buying the two horses for 5,000,000 Z and 6,000,000 Z each, and the carriage for 2,000,000 Z for total of 13,000,000 Z. The reason the prices of the horses is different is because it varies based on their age. The average lifespan of a horse is around 30 years. It seems rarely there's individuals that live over 40 though.

One of the horses was 12 years old, the ideal age for working and breeding so it cost the highest level of money and the other horse is 20 years old so that reduced the price a bit but honestly it's still around 1,000,000 Z more expensive than the market price. The carriage was right on the market price. Gwine was grateful for it, but it's fine. If it's gratitude that can be bought with money then it's a good idea to buy it when the timing is right. Seeing that the three others each made different expressions. Obviously, it's an amount where I asked the market price at a horse merchant and added a bit of a bonus to that so I didn't seem like an idiot who doesn't know the market price, or at least I'll just say that.

After we finished up all of our business in the afternoon, it's finally time to depart to Baldukk.

Since the luggage has been reduced by quite a bit there's no problem with two on the coachman's seat and two in the back of the carriage. Yeah, well if I think about travel from here on out and while the price of the horses was a bit high it wasn't a bad purchase. Once I've made a headquarters for the company the convenience of having a carriage is completely different after all. Until then it'll be fine if I use it like this as a small bus.

We met up with Zenom and the others as they were pulling out of the dungeon before dinner and once again started doing introductions while we all had dinner. It's deviating from our usual plans but tomorrow morning we're to do cooperation training. It's because it's necessary to properly confirm Toris and Gwine's movements before we enter the dungeon.

It's probably dangerous to include Gwine in the combat potential for the time being but it's still necessary to see how she carries her body, her stamina, and speed. We're adventurers who have finally just peeked into the 4th floor but since I'm here we rarely ever run into situations where we're troubled with combat or need to retreat. However, you never know what will happen in the dungeon.

It's not like every place has been explored after all, like that strange trap we've only run into once on the 2d floor, there's a countless number of unknown points in the dungeon. There's not even a perfect map of every corner of the 1st floor. I'm sure this would be different to produce even with Gwine's Unique Ability. Since she can only store information she's seen with her eyes in memory, it's the same that there's no information on traps after all.

Year 7443, Month 3, Day 13

One day has passed and it's Monday, after breakfast we're all doing cooperation training. Toris was born in a Viscount family and it seems that sword techniques were pounded into him, but that night, it seems he lost to Bel in arm-wrestling so I remember him talking about it with a complicated face.

"Toris, Gwine, listen well to what I'm going to say. The sword and spear have several roughly decided forms. As a matter of fact there's only a handful number of forms you absolutely have to remember. Putting it simply just remember boxing. Jab and straight. The basic punches are these two. If you go into application then there's the hook, uppercut, but ultimately it's fine with just the jab and straight. It's crucial to first be able to use the jab accurately and look for the best timing to use a straight. If you can do this properly while you might not make it to champion you should be able to do decently. Is up to here fine?"

I show the way to punch with a shadow while saying that. While looking at the two of them nod I,

"In terms of the attacks of a punch those two are fine at the start. But, what you must never forget is the method of defense. Step, guarding with your arms, swaying, ducking, weaving, there's far more methods of defense than there are attack. Of course, there's also countless methods to move from defense to counterattack as well. That's why if you can just properly practice one or two fundamental attack methods, after that I think it's just a matter of polishing your technique to protect yourselves."
