I visited Mel's workshop in the labyrinth city and asked for a job as well as recommending castings. I am not sure if I can make an enameled pot or a tagine that can cook without water, let alone a peeler, but I am sure that the earnest Mel and the highly motivated Meral will manage to reproduce them.

"I see, so precision and weight with no gaps are important."

I explained everything I knew about the enameled pot I wanted him to make, and Mel nodded gravely as if he understood the difficulty.

I carefully explained the importance of the precision and the weight of the lid, and Mel seemed to understand that these were the key points.

"Yes. It's important that the steam doesn't leak, so do your best."

"Yes, I'll do my best!"

I have seen the story of the development of enameled pans on TV, and I understand that it is a difficult job, but I have a tremendous trust in him because of his magic and the fact that he is a dwarf, so I am sure Mel will make it.

I am looking forward to seeing the finished product, as enameled pots and stews go well together, and curries made with anhydrous cooking are excellent.

I could see Betty screaming in my mind as she is involved in the commercialization of the ...... pot, but I hope she will get over it by eating delicious curry.

Well, I'd better leave now.

I feel sorry for Kikka, who doesn't seem to have enough fun with Mel, but Meral seems to be having a hard time keeping Belle and the others company.

"Oh, yes. Also, I'd like to invite Mel and Meral to paradise, can you give me some time?"

I don't think so. I almost forgot what I wanted to do and just left with the job.

Well, it's strange to ask them to take a day off from work after assigning them a job, but they will be busy when the pot is finished, so it's better to visit paradise while they still can.

***

After discussion with Mel and Meral, it was decided that I would come to Paradise once I had completed my immediate tasks.

Since they said they can make arrangements in ten days, we can stay with Mr. Victor during that time and let Sara treat her brother with respect.

Well, ...... it's time to face the reality that I've been looking away from.

(Sylphy. You're at the training ground, right?)

"Pfft... ...... yeah, I'm here."

The laugh that leaked out from Sylphy is very disturbing, but if she's here, so be it. Let's go see her.

But first, let's ask the Belles, who might be adversely affected by the situation, to leave the room.

(I've got some business to attend to. (If you find any delicious-looking food at the stalls, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know.)

"Yatai!" "Queue!" "That looks good!" "Coo!" I'll find you!""" ......"

Mm. They are very good and honest children who go out to play without any doubts.

I'd like to separate Gina and Fukuchan, but I'm sure I'll see them many times, so I'd like to check on them when I'm with them.

"Soooooo..."

I take a deep breath, calm down, and enter the Adventurers' Guild.

The adventurers are buzzing when they see me, but I'm used to it by now and don't have time to worry about it, so I ignore them and head for the training grounds.

"No, no. No, it's not like that, Julio. I understand the temptation to flap your cape in the air. But we are thieves and gentlemen. We only flap our capes and show off when the occasion calls for it. To always try to attract attention is a sign of dishonor.

"Yes, Master!"

The moment I entered the ...... training grounds, I saw the scene that jumped out at me and instantly wanted to leave.

I have many questions about dignity and the necessity for a gentleman to look good, but before that, I don't understand Julio's outfit.

Why is he dressed so perfectly as a gentleman in a mask, tuxedo, and cape?

A tuxedo that perfectly fits the boy's figure could only be custom-made, right?

I've heard from Mr. Lee that those tuxedos are quite expensive because they are made of demon materials.

I don't think Mr. Julio has that kind of money, so it must have been supplied to him.

I am afraid that I can feel the strong will of the masked gentlemen that they will never let Mr. Julio go. 

"Uh, Mr. Porte. May I have a word?"

"Oh, it's Yuta-dono, isn't it? I don't mind, but please call me Darkmoon when I'm in this form. 

"Ah, sir. It's been a while. Look at that. Does it suit you?

"Hey, Julio. A gentleman does not flaunt himself like that."

This conversation between master and disciple is painful.

Above all, I have never seen Mr. Porte in his other form, and I don't want to call the masked gentleman Mr. Darkmoon, even if he says he is in this form.

But you know what? I came here with the intention of confronting my sins, but now that I've gone through all this, my guilt is gone and I feel better.

Julio seems very happy now, so I'll just say that everything turned out all right.

"Not a bad figure for a contractor of mine, the ruler of the ever-darkening world, don't you think?"

......I can't seem to get this conversation under control when the white raven, the ruler of everlasting darkness, joins the conversation, even though this master and disciple alone are troublesome.

For now, I'll ask Sylphy, who is holding back her laughter, to deal with the ruler of everlasting darkness.

"Yuta can't talk to you right now, so please let me talk to you.

I asked Sylphy to look at me and immediately Sylphy spoke to the ruler of everlasting darkness.

Now that we have reaffirmed that it is too late for you, Julio, let's get on with our other goal.

We check on the disciples who are watching their masked master and apprentice.

Gina is safe to say that she is ...... a bit, or maybe a lot, withdrawn.

Sara, yes, her emotionless smile is scary, but from the looks of it, she won't be affected.

Marco is looking at his mentor and disciple with ...... sparkling eyes. Perfectly out of character. I'll have a talk with Marco later as a teacher.

Kikka looks ...... amused, but more like a curious animal than an interested one. Just in case, let's take care of Marco and talk with Kikka at the same time.

Huku and her friends ...... seem to be even younger than Belle and her friends, but fortunately they don't seem to know much about it.

We will wait and see and if they seem to be affected, we will guide them through Gina and the others.

In the meantime, I will accompany Gina and the others for a while when they attend Porte-san's training, and I will ask Lee-san to take responsibility for introducing Porte-san to the group.

He said before that he doesn't want to embarrass his friends, and if he tells us about his embarrassing experience, Marco's eyes will be opened.

Excuse me. So what can I do for you, Mr. Yuta?"

Mr. Darkmoon, who had finished educating his apprentice, spoke to me, but I had already finished my business.

"No, I don't have any particular business, I just came to check on Julio-kun, so please don't mind me."

I can't say that I came to check the kitchen level of my students, can I?

"I see. Julio is a wonderful and talented person. We will do our best to nurture him without destroying his talent.

"I see. Then you are happy with ......? Good luck. Thank you for your time.

I hope that the abundance of talent is as a bandit or a necromancer, but what do you think?

I am very afraid to ask for details, so let's not go into it too deeply.

I take Gina and the others and leave them. I'm feeling a bit tired, so I go back to Mr. Toruku's lodge to rest.

"Oh, Mr. Yuta. It's been a long time.

"Oh, Tom, it's been a while. ...... What are you wearing?"

Just as I was leaving the training site, I met Tom-san who had just come inside. It was good to see him because I was a little worried about him, but he was looking a little strange.

Why is he carrying a big backpack?

"Oh, this is it. I took Yuta's advice and thought about it a lot. It's a little difficult to move around, but I'm getting used to it.

My advice?

......Oh, I see. Sylphy was laughing at how funny it was going to be, but I guess he was expecting this to happen to some extent. 

No, Tom. When I said support, I meant support with recovery magic, not physical support.

"The most important thing for a healer is to protect himself, so it would be a mistake to sacrifice evasion by carrying a baggage on his back, wouldn't it?"

I'm talking about support, not portering.

"What? Oh, no. Of course, it doesn't mean that I don't carry baggage, but I don't think that I want to be a baggage carrier. Look at this.

With that, Tom took out from his backpack a large shield and mace.

"I'm not good at evasion and I'm going to use this to protect myself. The less time they have to spend defending me, the more they can concentrate on attacking.

...... You mean a restorative lineage spiritist with a shield and mace?

Is this possible?

Compared to Porter, who I misunderstood, it seems to be by far the right choice, but something is different about him as a spiritist.

No, I'm also equipped with a light dragon, and there is no restriction that a necromancer needs a robe or a staff, so I'm not wrong?

"......Yes. The main problem is that healers will not be able to heal, and it's not a mistake to give them more defense ......?"

But I still think something is wrong.

Is it because of the image of magic workers as being weakly equipped in games that this discomfort is so common?

...... Well, compared to the gentlemanly style with the mask, a mace on a shield is a fair choice...... right?
