After Sarah and the others defeated the trolls, Belle and the others returned with many mushrooms and medicinal herbs, and we continued our training, heaping praise on them. After two days of repeated battles with the trolls. Sara and the others were able to defeat the trolls in a safe manner, though they could not defeat them with a single blow.

The strategy of aiming at the eyes and mouth with the first ambush was effective but lacked decisive power.

Let them fall down and beat them up from above. It is an indescribable strategy, but it is effective, so there is no problem. But from the outside, it only makes me feel a little sorry for the trolls. Three days in total. We train hard and leave the labyrinth.

"Whew! It's a relief to get out of the labyrinth. Good job, guys."

Previously, Sarah and the others had an easy time, so it was easy for me to just relax and watch over them. This time, however, it was a tough battle, and there were some dangerous situations that kept me on my toes, so I was pretty tired.

"Master. Thank you very much.

When Sara bows her head, Marco and Kikka also bow their heads in a hurry. Sara is as serious as ever.

You're welcome. But as I told you before, I'm using Sara and the others to get back at those who make fun of the genie-surgeons, so you don't have to take them so seriously. As long as you do what you're supposed to do, there's no problem.

Yes, sir. Yes, I understand.

Sarah nods her head in agreement, but her attitude doesn't seem to change much. I'd appreciate it if she was a little more easygoing, but that's a hundred times better than being ...... impudent, so maybe I'm being too extravagant.

"Yeah. Okay, I'm going back to the inn."

He urges everyone to walk toward the inn. Sarah and the others have had the hardest time on this search, so let's take the day off tomorrow.

I'm going to ...... go see Marie and ask her to introduce me to some carpenters while I'm wholesaling materials. I need some advice on how to build a house in the land of the dead by myself, and fortunately I have a lot of money, so it might be a good idea to have a mobile house built for me.

"Martha, I'm back. Can you give me the keys, please?"

"Oh, hey, you're back. Well, look. Here's your keys. What do you want for dinner?

"Extra as always, please. Can I have it in my room again?

Yes. Two hours later?

"Yes. I'm going out for a while, so if I'm not back, give this to Sarah and the others."

I ask Martha to move to Sarah's room.

"As you heard, Martha will bring us dinner in two hours. I'm going to the grocery store for a while, so pick it up if she doesn't come back. Also, I'm taking tomorrow off, so you might want to make some plans."

I'll be there with Gina's sister!

I guess I missed something last time, so that shouldn't be a problem. We'll have no problem getting Sylphy to go with us again.

"Beru? Do you want to go with me?"

Belle tilts her head and asks. There's nothing much to do if I come along.

"Well... I'm just going to talk to Marie, so you guys can do whatever you want.

Can I go for a walk?

"Okay, but be back in time for dinner."

Yes, sir."

The belles cackled out the window and went for a walk. I have a feeling I'm going to discover another food stall. Basically, there are many stalls offering orc meat and rough bird meat, but Belle and her friends seem to be pleased with the difference in taste and are checking them out quite closely. Perhaps they are the most knowledgeable about the food stalls in the labyrinth city.

"Well, I'm off then."

I leave Sarah and the others and head for the general store with Sylphy.

**

"Mr. Yuta. Welcome.

Sonya suddenly appears. I'm not surprised, since I had some idea of what to expect, but I'm curious as to how she knows I'm coming, and how she manages to show up without giving me any sign of her presence.

"Is something wrong?"   

"No, no. Nothing. I'm sorry to bother you on such short notice, but can I see Marie? If you are busy, I will come back and let you know when would be convenient for me."

"Yes. Yes, that's fine. I'll show you in the back.

Ms. Sonia leads us to the reception room. I haven't checked Marie's schedule, do you know what her schedule is? Maybe he also has a secretarial role.

One moment, please.

A while after Sonia went to pick up Marie, her muscular brother came with a cup of tea and smiled at me. ...... Is this that? Are you confirming my previous suspicions of masculine loli shota?

After the muscular brother left, Sylphy came over to talk to me. His normally cool expression looks as if he is trying to hold back his laughter or is in some kind of pain. I guess I was right.

"Sonia is checking to see if Yuta's eyes were on that muscle-bound guy. It's okay, don't look at me like that. He says he didn't feel any different."

That's true, but it's a headache when it's confirmed. Maybe I shouldn't complain since I'm the one eavesdropping, but I feel like complaining even though I know.

"Yuta-san. Thank you for waiting. How can I help you today?"

While I was in agony, Marie and Sonia came in. Yes... They're wearing normal clothes, so there seems to be no blatant temptation like last time. I feel a bit relieved.

"I was thinking of selling magic grass and almighty grass wholesale..."

When I said this, Marie looked surprised. What's wrong?

"Well, ...... Yuta, did you report to the Adventurers' Guild that you broke through the 50th layer?"

"No. No, I didn't. Is something wrong?"

"Then how did you get the materials?"

Hm? I don't see what you're talking about.

"I just went out there and I collected it, you know?"

That's a lie. I'm sorry.

"How? I have information from our Chamber of Commerce that the Adventurers' Guild has set up checkpoints at the 49th level staircase to find the breakthroughers, even if it delays the operation. ......"

Seriously? No. Don't show it. Keep your head down. If Marie finds out about the magic bag with the time-stop function, it'll definitely accelerate the whole misdirection thing. She might actually offer you her brother!

"Oh, that. I don't have any problem with that. I won't tell you how, though."

"I see. ....... You're the one who slays the fire dragon. Maybe you can do that much. ......

Okay! You convinced me. He has his suspicions, but I feel like he avoids harassing me by going into details, but as long as he doesn't pursue it, there's no problem.

But I was unexpectedly sweating cold sweat. It seems that the Adventurers Guild is doing its thing. For the time being, I'll stay away from the 49th layer. Shall we focus our efforts on the cultivation of the land of the dead?

"Yes, it's easy. So, do you need any herbs?

Sylphy. Don't smile so much. I'm embarrassed too.

"Of course I need it. The guild of merchants and the guild of apothecaries are urging me to do so.

He takes out a herb from his magic bag and gives her the same amount as before. I thought about asking him about the mithril, but I don't want to get into too much trouble right now. Sonia takes the herbs I gave her and leaves the room.

"So, Yuta-san. Yuta-san, do you happen to have any herbs of divine power?  

"I don't have any. I don't need to go any further at the moment. We talked about this before. I broke through the 50th level because I was harassing the Adventurers' Guild.

Wow. He's blatantly disappointed.

"I see. I can't say I'm too selfish, but if you get the sacred power plant, please give it to us.

"I'll bring it to you when I get it."

Hmmm, since we know it's going to be a powerful card, it might be a good idea to go and get some Jinryoku Grass, but how to get through the checkpoint at the ...... stairway is the problem. I can hide my face and force my way through, but I'll have to think of another way.

"Thank you very much. And you know, the last time you told me that I can tell you about Yuta when I can no longer hide him from you, but I think I may be nearing the end of my rope. My father says he will stick to his limit because it will be beneficial to him, but the pressure is increasing day by day."

Well, I guess so. My plan was for the Adventurers' Guild to find me sooner. So the Adventurers' Guild can't get the information by themselves, but will be given it by the commercial guilds. This is going to be a hardship for the Adventurers' Guild.

I understand. Please tell them to take it easy.

"Thank you very much. But are you all right? Royalty, merchants, adventurers' guilds. You will be inundated with invitations from all sorts of sources. Especially if the national army catches your eye, you could get into trouble.

"Ha-ha-ha. I'm surprisingly strong. I can fight or run away.

I have confirmed Sylphy's power. I made a deal with Dene, Nomos, and Dolly. To be honest, I don't think we even need the protection of some other power that we had in mind at the beginning.

"I see. I understand. I'll let them know.

Marie's mouth is a little tight. Oh, Ms. Sonia is back. ...... This time a handsome prince-type man comes with a fresh smile and brings the money. I think my eyes are dead now.

The next time he brings out a child, I'll give him a reason and lecture him. The man left and Ms. Sonia stood behind Ms. Marie after she had lightly whispered an earful to her.

"Here is the price of the herbs, 220 million Euros. Is there a problem?

"Yes. "Yes. I'm fine."

Same price as last time. I'll put the bag with the money in it. I think it's time to go home. ...... Oh, I had a question I wanted to ask you, too.

"Mr. Marie. Do you know any good carpenters? Also, if you know anyone who was kicked out of the guild for being a necromancer and is now languishing in a labyrinth city, please introduce them to me."

"...... I can introduce you to carpenters because I have a connection with our Chamber of Commerce, but I don't know of any spiritists. If you are a spiritualist, you must be very skilled or you will be disliked. Most of the inexperienced ones live their lives hiding the fact that they are a genie, so I don't have any information.

I knew it, but once again, I was told that the genie is out of the bottle. I understand why they are disliked, but I think they are disliked too much.

Looking at Sara and the others, I think that the necromancers are pretty good. It's not going to be easy to recruit people, so we'll have to scout steadily.

I see. Then can you introduce me to a carpenter?"

I understand. I'll prepare a letter of introduction. Sonia, please.

After a brief chat, I receive the letter of introduction and leave the general store. The discussion lasted about an hour, which is plenty of time for dinner.

I return to the inn, discussing my future plans with Sylphy. I greeted Martha and returned to my room. Another boy who looked like an unfamiliar spirit bowed his head to me. I wondered if he was a friend of Belle and her friends.

"Belle. Who's the boy?"

"Meraru!"

It's very cute how they cheerfully raise their hands in the air, but that doesn't really tell us much about them.
