Year 7442, Month 6, Day 30

The first month since Bel has joined our party is about to pass. Every week we challenge the dungeon on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and we've set Wednesday and Saturday as our rest days. In particular because my party does {search and destroy}, we progressively try to fight as much as possible so when we start exploring we get pretty tense and exhaust our stamina and mentality quickly. In reality I thought about putting a day of rest between each but around the time we enter the 2nd floor I thought that we might end up having to spend the night in the dungeon so I stuck with 2 days of work 1 day of rest as the base.

During this roughly one month period we've been careful not to overdo things and if anyone gets hurts or right before lunch we turn back. Combat occurs every time we enter the dungeon. That's why in regards to gathering magic stone's were largely in black on the balance right now. There were no bonuses like obtaining the articles of deceased adventurers like the first day but other than Zenom and I everyone has gained 1 level each. I've stopped at just assisting all of them occasionally and since Zenom was originally a pretty high level it takes a lot of experience points for him to get to the next level.

Furthermore, I wrote a letter to my family, and just in case Webdos Company. I drew a foot template of Ralpha and the others feet on some paper and included that. I wrote that I want Ralpha and Bel's to be made slightly large but I don't know how much time it will take for it to reach Bakuddo. I think at the shortest it should take about four months for them to arrive but I wonder if that will actually be the case? Since I left it with a caravan heading towards Keel I can't predict it at all.

Since today is Saturday it's a day off. After eating breakfast together with Zulu the same as usual, I handed Zulu his wages for this month of 5 silver coins. Annual income of 600,000 Z. It's an income that's slightly larger than a small farm owner that doesn't own any slaves and is the equivalent of 10,000 Z per week pay. Honestly speaking, in a large town like Baldukk it would be difficult to live on just this amount but since I pay for his inn and food costs it's an exceptionally high pay for a slave. Though, I decided on it after watching him for this month. He can be useful. He listens well and he can decently use the sword as well. And above all it seems that he's quite loyal so unless an extraordinary talent appears from now on then he's going to be my head slave.

Since we've only started to get to know him for about a month as expected we still haven't told him that we're reincarnated people. It's because I somehow got the feeling that if he knew there could be conflicts between groups of reincarnated people that appear from here on then he might think of searching for them. Since this isn't modern day Japan, I know it's not good to be nervous about him being scouted or betraying but I'm not so optimistic nor have I seen through enough of his personality in just one month so it shouldn't matter right. For the most part I've told the other members about this as well.

On the side of Zulu who's grateful for his high pay, I'm getting right to setting the goals for next month. This month I had made a secret goal of "confirming the ability for our party to cooperate and if possible improve that" but since you could already say we've more or less cleared it so I need to decide on next months goal.

- In regards to clearing the 1st floor we're still just randomly wandering around and haven't properly drawn a map. It seems impossible.

- I feel it's unrealistic to try and draw a proper map with this situation where Ralpha's MP is still 3. I've told her not to use her Unique Ability but magic twice every day but going off this pace it will take another five months before her void magic reaches level 1. As expected using magic three times a day and getting her MP to 0 is something I want to avoid because of her age. It can't be helped betting on the 1% chance of raising her MP and above all Ralpha seems to stay the night the same room as Zenom so it would be too late after something happens. I somehow don't like the idea of her visiting Zulu at night for sex as well. Maybe I'll buy a map. Then it's not a dream of clearing the 1st floor... If she just had 7 MP, if she could just reach 7. Since it's already started to feel annoying I was thinking maybe I should just starve her and then have her use up her MP to 0 then after feeding her let her go to sleep. If I wake her up in the middle of the night and make her do it twice then she should be able to earn 5 experience points a day and it will level up in 2.5 months. But, I guess it's a bit too pitiful...not letting her eat properly together with everyone else.

- In regards to the objective of leveling myself up I feel it's kind of half-hearted but if I were to seriously stand at the front and engage in combat all day I can solve it all at once. If I felt like it then I could even go and do it all today I'm sure. Though overdoing it is no good because I have no backup members. It's not so important to make into a goal.

- It might be a good idea to get one more additional combat slave. My earnings for this month have exceeded 10,000,000 Z by a little bit. I've given Zenom, Ralpha, and Bel about 300,000 Z each in bonuses. If I increase the number of members who can fight then we should be able to have more stability in combat I'm sure. I've used quite a bit of the money I received from father and even if it doesn't quite reach the original amount I've been able to recover back to close that much. It might be a good hand to add one more slave around here. If we earn another couple million Z then I think I should still have plenty of leeway even after buying a slave. Let's go with this.

I was lost in my thoughts while sipping at my bean tea after breakfast but after deciding on the next goal there's nothing left than to take action. I bid farewell to Zulu for a while until dinner and after leaving the restaurant I went back to my inn to put my protectors on and go running for today. Ah, I've haven't said it until now but the inn I'm staying at is the "Boil Manor" and the inn that Zenom and other's are staying at is called "Shuni" it's just a step above a cheap lodging house.
