What a waste!
"Oi, what the hell is this?"
Owen-san, who had finished checking everything, looked away from the blueprint and glared at Galvano Ojisama.
"Hmm? That's a cane. Can't you tell by looking at it?"
Galvano Ojisama answered with an innocent look on his face.
"Don't be stupid. Is there such a small cane? The size is for children... no, for babies, right? Why would you need this kind of thing."
Owen-san slammed the blueprint with a bang...

The Unchanging Daily Routine
After finishing the interior design request, there was nothing urgent for us to do.
In other words, we are back to the same routine we had before we started collecting materials.
It was halfway through the day and too late to go hunting Ogres, though, so we were just going to show up at the Adventurers' Guild.
The Vardmoi Adventurers' Guild, which we visited after a long time, was bustling even more than before.
I wonder if somet...

Shop Renovation (2)
Yes, the concept of my shop is a women's clothing specialist shop.
I plan to handle everything from everyday wear to stylish outfits, and even leather armor for female adventurers.
Besides that, there are also products that would be difficult to handle if not sold at a women's clothing specialist shop.
I have to put “those” up for sale.
“What kind of products can only be sold in a women's clothing specialty store?”

"Eh? Requests!?”
"Look, things like cooling jugs and cups, or magic heat plates used with magic stoves."
"Ah~..."
Now that I think about it, I did ask Ojisama for that.
"I knew it! You have not only good ideas, but also a lot of magic power. If you understand how to write magic circuits, you'll surely become a first-class magic tool craftsman in no time. How about it? Won't you become my apprentice!?”
And, apprentice!?

Shop Renovation (1)
Once we were done with the equipment request, we went to consult about renovating the shop.
I already had a letter of introduction from Alizée, so I headed to the construction company.
Following the map, I arrived at an elegant-looking shop.
It didn't seem like a typical construction company.
Maybe it's meant to be high-end?
There's no use in feeling timid, so I entered the shop.
Immediately, there was a receptionist, so I hande...

When we arrived in the town of Gista, we headed straight to the Adventurers’ Guild.
"Hey, Takumi, we meet again!"
"Oh, Sieg-san!"
Then, luckily enough, we encountered Sieg-san whom we had met right in front of the Dungeon of Scorching Heat as soon as we entered the guild.
"What, could it be that you are just returning from the dungeon? I thought if it was you, Takumi, you would have finished conquering at least the first floor and come ...

Material Delivery
We used up almost a whole day searching for a store, so we ended up being one day late to deliver the materials to Teysa and Hannon.
When I apologized for it, they laughed and said, “You were off just by a day.”
Now, about the materials, it seems that since the bones of the Metal Giant were in stock, it had been already forged into a sword.
The only thing left was to adjust the balance.
The issue lied with the remaining equipment—it a...

First, I asked the Saintyan priests to focus on preaching in the areas marked on the map. It's a straightforward plan, but I believe it will be effective.
Although I had hoped the impact this time to extend to nobles and even the national level, I was concerned whether it would resonate with people who lacked education. The result is what it is today—its reception turned out to be unexpectedly different.
To counter that, I came up with a solu...

Looking for a Store Location
"Why are you trying to get me to open a shop?"
This was the biggest mystery for me.
I am a Copper-ranked merchant, but I don't have my own shop.
On top of that, my merchandise sells well even in stalls.
So why are they insisting that I open a shop?
"Well, first, it's about keeping up the appearances of Copper-ranked merchants. The Trade Guild would prefer if Copper-ranked merchants avoided doing business solely through stal...

As a result of teaching magic to Tomoa and hunting many Gaya Tortoises, we ended up loading Daigo Seventeen to its limit.
Although the speed of Daigo Seventeen slowed down with that much cargo, we managed to return to Vardmoi without resupplying.

After loading the Treant materials, we continued our journey.
It took over a week to reach our final destination, the habitat of the Gaya Tortoises.
We were currently on a hill that overlooked their habitat, and I couldn’t believe how many Gaya Tortoises there were...
Despite the surrounding desert, the Gaya Tortoises seem to live leisurely, paying no mind to it.

It's said that the Treants reside within this forest.
However, the Treants have a tricky nature.

This dungeon had a pattern of temperature shifts: warm, cool, warm. And the temperature differences were quite extreme~

This must be the Wonder Deer.
It was even larger than I had heard.

The bones of the Metal Giant can be procured in a nearby dungeon, so they are relatively easier to acquire.
But for the other materials, it seems to be quite challenging.
