A little knowledge at the grocery store? You pretend to be a good guy, and finish your shopping at the bookstore. The rest is furniture stores and adventurers' guilds.
We walk through the labyrinthine city, looking at the map. Belle and her friends are moving about the city in all directions. They occasionally ask other spirits for something, but it is unclear what kind of answers they receive.
At the moment they are mostly interested in food, so they may be asking about good food.
(Sylphy. What happened to those goons?)
"It's falling apart. It's like they don't trust anyone anymore except the people they've been with their whole lives."
（I see. Thank you.)
Now they won't mess with me. I've cracked our friendship, but it's my own fault.
****
Arriving at the furniture store. ...... Huh? There are wooden chairs and a chest of drawers, but I can't find a bed. It's a small store, or did I come to the wrong place? Let's ask the lady at the counter just to be sure.
"Excuse me. I need a bed. Where do you keep it?"
"A bed, huh? We make beds to order. They use demon material and take up a lot of space. What kind of bed do you want?"
They're made to order. Can you do it while I'm in the labyrinth city? Well, it won't be a problem if you come and get it. It won't take long to fly in.
"I'm staying at the Goumu Torque Inn, do you know anything about the beds in that inn?"
"Hmm? Yeah, I know. It's what we do. You want that?"
Is this the same store that made that bed? Then I guess we're in the clear.
"Can you double the size of that bed and make it a little softer?"
The beds at the inn are a little smaller than singles. I would like to sleep comfortably in a larger bed if possible. This will help me sleep with someone, even if I have to sleep with someone else. I don't know if I'll ever find one.
The adventurers' guild, where I'm most likely to find someone, hates me. I'm supposed to meet a receptionist and a female adventurer ...... who's going to be great. It's hard to let temporary feelings get the best of you.
"I can handle the size, but the softer the material, the higher the rank of the material, the higher the price..."
How much will the whole thing cost?
Well, if you use one of the higher ranks, it would be about 400,000 elt. The bed at Torque's place was 150,000.
Four hundred thousand ...... is a high price, but it's a price you can afford. Then I'm curious to see what's one more up there.
****
"Well, I'll take this one, please. The price should be 1,200,000 elt, right?"
"Yes, but you are also very particular about it. This is the level of a small rich person. Are you sure about that?
How much is the level of small money? I have a little money in case you're interested: ....... However, I was so enthusiastic because I can ask for every detail when I order. I'm not regretting it, even though I've raised the rank of the material .......
"Where I come from, we are told to use the best quality bedding because we spend a third of our lives in bed. That's why I splurged."
"Heh. Sounds like a good sales pitch for a bed. I'll take it under advisement. It'll be ready in about ten days at ....... I can deliver it to you."
Hmmm, a little further than your scheduled stay in the labyrinth city. Well, I guess I'll stay a little longer, pick up my bed and come back. They don't deliver to the land of the dead, do they?
I understand. I'll come to the store to pick it up. I need some more furniture, so can I pay you after I get everything?"
"Yes. Buy lots of stuff."
Auntie's in a good mood. Well, we need a table and chairs. With the current group, it's just me and the big spirits who use the chairs. Belle and the others are eating on the float, so we should buy extra ...... for our guests.
It's the land of the dead, so we won't have regular guests, but we don't want to be in trouble when Sylphy and her friends come to visit or when we have more members. We should buy two extra chairs. Buy that big table, do you need ...... a chest of drawers and a cupboard?
I won't need it if I keep it all in my magic bag. Should I buy a small cupboard for interior decoration? I don't need ...... to come back and buy it when I need it.
"I want that big table and seven chairs, how much will it cost?"
"That's 80,000 for the table. That's 80,000 for the table and 6,000 for the chairs. We only have five chairs, so do you want to make more?
Then, please. I'll come back and get the extra beds and stuff."
"Yes."
Pay the money and store the table and chairs. Again, I was invited to work in the store. With my magic bag, I could probably make a living as a delivery boy. I tell him I will be back in ten days and leave the store.
"Yuta. Did you go to bed? Do you want to sleep with Beru, too?"
（Yeah. I bought a big bed. It won't be ready for ten days. Belle can sleep on it if she likes.)
"Sleep."
Rain, Tulu, and Tamamo, who had been listening to the conversation, also flocked to the meeting. I guess I'll have to sleep with Belle and the others when my bed is made. We quieted down the happy and excited Belle and the others and headed for the Adventurers' Guild.
(Sylphy. When we get to the guild, will you check out what people are talking about? (I need to know what they think of me.)
"Okay. I'll check it out."
(Please do.)
Now, this happened a few hours ago.
**
It was all over. When you enter the guild, there are a lot of stares and more whispering. I'm sure Sylphy is checking on me, but it's scary how happy they look.
"Hello, Eltina!"
Hello. Can I help you?"
Oh, not even a friendly smile. No expression at all. Also, the bustle around us has stopped, and there is a lot of attention. I've never been so conspicuous in Japan, so I'm a bit intimidated.
"The Adventurers' Guild offers a beginners' course, right? I'd like to sign up, is that OK?"
"...... you need it? You seemed pretty confident. You also secured a lot of magic stones, didn't you? Didn't you defeat him yourself?"
Finally, they don't even call me by name anymore. It's damaging my heart. But they suspect you of the magic stone? You've seen the power of the hammer, so you shouldn't be so suspicious. Maybe I shouldn't have said "the land of the dead"?
"I'm a beginner. Confidence and knowledge are two different things. When are you going to have a beginner's class?"
Let's be brazen and thick-skinned.
"...... tomorrow. It starts at 8:00 a.m."
Nice timing.
"Okay. I'm in. Please complete the necessary paperwork. I would also like to purchase some magic potions.
I will take care of it. The magic potion is sold at the store next to the tavern.
I didn't see any change in his expression. I was greeted with the same blank expression at the store. I could get at least a minimal response to my questions, but I felt very isolated.
I just needed to buy some low grade potions and mid grade potions. I bought a lower-grade antidote and an intermediate-grade antidote. The price of the lower class was 7,000 elt for both, but the price of the intermediate class was much higher.
150,000 elts for the intermediate potion. Intermediate antidote 200,000 elts. I heard that there are also advanced and special ones, but I wonder how much they cost. I wonder if I'm getting ripped off a little.
I leave the guild, feeling the eyes on me. Word has spread completely. We'll hear about Sylphy when we get back to the inn.
Oh no... I forgot... I forgot that I have to return the temporary ID given to me when I enter the labyrinth city or I'll become a criminal. I forgot that after getting the guild card, I had so many things to do.
I'll stop by the gate before going back to the inn. It's a long way, but I'll be a criminal if I forget to return the card after the beginner's class tomorrow. I'm sure Guilmouth will be happy to turn me in to the guards.
**
"Oh, hey, you're back. Your husband's been waiting for you. Just listen to him for a minute."
Before I could say anything, Martha shouted, "Hey you, I'm back! I want you to listen to me.
I hear a pounding sound of running. I'm afraid the floor will fall out.
"Oh, Mr. visitor. You're awesome. I was skeptical, but I tried it and the meat tastes better. Why is that?"
He asks me as he slaps me on the back. It hurts so much. I question the effectiveness of the armor I bought. Does it hurt more than the armor because of my strong arm?
"Hey, it hurts, please stop."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I got a little carried away. So what makes meat so good when it's cooked over charcoal?"
He is full of curiosity, and brings his tough face with cuts and scars close to me. I'm scared, to be honest. Well, how do I explain it? I don't think they understand infrared or quicksilver.
"Well, I think that charcoal grill makes it easier to cook the meat inside and keeps the flavor of the meat. Also, the fat that falls on the charcoal creates smoke that gives the food a good smell."
The explanation is a bit vague, but it could not be clearer. I hope you will agree that charcoal grilling makes the food taste better.
"I see. I see. I think the meat cooks faster, too. Smoke smell. It's like smoking. That's a good point. All-you-can-drink ale tonight. Drink plenty and eat plenty."
Mr. Torque returns to the kitchen with a big smile on his face. He's a bold man, isn't he?
"I ate it, too, and it sure tasted good. Let me know if there's anything else.
I'll tell you when I think of something. Can I have the key, please?
I'm happy to have more good food, but I'm getting tired of dealing with all these people. I don't know what to do. I'm worried about asking them to improve the bread. I'll give it some more thought.
"Of course. Here, here's the key.
"Oh, I would like to extend my stay for five days, is that OK?"
No problem. You told me about the charcoal, so I'll only charge you 30,000 elt this time. I'd love to give it to you for free, but you'll have to forgive me.
Oh, that's 20,000 less. I don't like the idea of staying for free, and that's enough. I thank him and pay him.
Well, let's go back to the room and listen to what Sylphy has to say before dinner. I have to keep my mind strong because I know she has a lot to say about me.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

I don't know what to do. I'm worried about asking them to improve the bread. I'll give it some more thought."Of course. Here, here's the key."Oh, I would like to extend my stay for five days, is that OK?"No problem. You told me about the charcoal, so I'll only charge you 30,000 elt this time. I'd love to give it to you for free, but you'll have to forgive me.Oh, that's 20,000 less. I don't like the idea of staying for free, and that's enough. I thank him and pay him.Well, let's go back to the room and listen to what Sylphy has to say before dinner. I have to keep my mind strong because I know she has a lot to say about me.
