Chapter 66
Ah, it's already Morning.
Depending on the guild’s report today, I would have to go to Gorudo forest later today.
Alright, let’s do this with high spirit’s.
Getting up from the bed, I checked the condition of my body for abnormalities as usual.
And then, a bit of stretching exercises.
"Alright! There doesn’t seem to be any problems with my body."
Alright then, let’s get a move on.
I left my room and moved downstairs to get my usual morning breakfast.
And then, I was unable to spot Iguru’s figure today.
Ma~a, there are some days when this happens.
Sari came over after spotting my lonely figure after quite a while.
"Ah, Good morning, Yuma-san!"
"Ah, Good morning, Sari. By the way, where is Iguru??"
"Iguru-san left a couple of minutes ago. He left while proclaiming that he would definitely raise his level by the end of today."
Understandable, Iguru must be working hard to prepare for the Great Invasion.
I definitely cannot lose out to him!
(ED: You probably never will, lol)
"Is that so, thanks for telling me Sari."
"Not a problem. I shall serve breakfast soon, please wait a moment."
And then, I had my breakfast as usual.
"Thank you Sari. It was delicious as usual. With this, I can work hard for the rest of the day."
Sari was quite pleased when I said that.
"Yeaaah, I feel extremely happy when you say that Yuma-san. Please work hard today as well! Please look forward to Dinner as well."
"Ah, then I shall look forward to it. I’ll head out now."
I came out of Zinnia after that, and then headed toward the guild.
After a while, I was able to arrive and opened the door.
And from the inside,
"Oi, the Head hunter has arrived. I heard from the announcement that you went in alone and exterminated all of the Rare-cla.s.ses in the Stone forest yesterday, yo."
"That’s absolutely amazing. Doesn’t that mean that the Head hunter is not just an A-Rank, but an S-Rank in terms of strength?"
"That is certainly so….no way, from the facts it might be possible."
"Anyways, Head hunter has been working hard for our sake’s. Therefore, we must also get stronger for the Great Invasion, for the sake of protecting this city."
Fumu~
Somehow, the guild seems to be much livelier than usual.
That’s nice. If it’s like this, then just maybe we can somehow repel, and win the Great Invasion. We~ll, let’s not worry too much over this.
I headed over to where Meru-san was to check if the reconnaissance report of Gorudo Forest had arrived.
When,
"Good Morning, Meru-san. Has the investigation report from Gorudo Forest arrived? If the report is here, I shall depart as soon as possible."
"Good Morning, Yuma-kun. You seem to be in high spirits, as for the investigation report, unfortunately it hasn’t arrived yet. It will probably arrive tomorrow."
Fumu, it hasn’t arrived yet.
It can’t be helped, the case of Gorudo Forest shall be moved to tomorrow.
While I was dwelling on those thoughts, Meru-san said,
"Yuma-kun, the investigation report of Gorudo-forest has yet to arrive, why don’t you take a break today and have a good rest? The fact that Yuma has been working very hard is known by all the people of this city, but taking a rest sometimes might also be good."
A day off huh?
Come to think of it, I haven’t taken a good rest for quite some time.
The last two days were particularly hard on me.
I guess doing it might not be that bad.
"That might be so. I understand, I shall take
Hmm, I don’t feel like going back to Zinnia so soon.
Let's go somewhere.
Un, It’s been awhile since I stepped into the weapons shop.
I could feel it when I cut the head off the Gorotorisu, I increased my strength stats. I was able to cut the Gorotorisu’s head with less power than before.
Maybe I can handle bigger weapons now.
Like, maybe a Long Sword. A weapon that can perform long range attacks without the use of MP might also be good.
I was thinking such thoughts when I reached the weapons shop where I bought the Demon Ripper from.
Since I was able to remember the route, I was able to get there quite easily, in only a few minutes.
Opening the doors to the shop, I went inside.
I could see that the inside of the shop was clean as usual.
Comparing Risa’s shop to this one, the former is a bit dirtier, but the latter makes it look more beautiful.
From the back came the old man.
"Welcome, n? If I remember correctly, you’re the kid that bought the dDmon Ripper. You seem to be doing fine, did something happen?"
"Haha, I’m quite thankful for the weapon."
"Im very glad! Then? For what reason did you come by today?"
"Actually, I wish to buy a large number of daggers, is that fine? A large quant.i.ty of cheap products will also do. Aa, and also, a large spear as well."
When I said that to the old man, he made a face as if asking what am I was going to do with them.
"Hmm? Well, if you’re the one buying it, then please wait a moment."
After a few minutes, there was a large quant.i.ty of daggers, and a huge spear in front of me.
"Oooh, if it's this much, then it shall do finely! Thank you very much Old Man. I will buy all of it."
"What in the world will you use it for anyways? Whatever, it's fine. How about a Gold Coin for all of these?"
I don’t understand if that’s quite expensive or quite cheap, but I shall trust him.
"Yes, then thank you very much."
After handing over a Gold Coin to the Old Man, I was able to get a large quant.i.ty of daggers easily.
I stored the large amount of daggers into my Item Box.
The Old Man watching from the side said,
"Hmm, Magical ability is indeed quite convenient."
"That is certainly so. Then, I shall take my leave, thank you very much."
Informing the Old Man of this, I stepped out of the weapons shop.
Hmm, I got some great goods.
Then, I guess it’s about time to return to Zinnia.
Thinking such thoughts, I walked over there.
After a few minutes, I was able to safely get back to Zinnia, and there was quite some time left before dinner time, so I got back to my room and relaxed on the bed.
As expected, the bed is quite comfortable and relaxing.
After a few hours,
While I was comfortably relaxing on the bed, there was a banging on the door.
"Yuma-san, are you awake?"
Sari was in front of my room door.
While thinking it was quite unusual, I got up from the bed and moved to the door.
"What happened, Sari? Is it dinner time already?"
"No, that's not the reason. I heard from Risa’s place today that Yuma-san was fighting hard to stop the Great Invasion."
Ah, I can understand that.
I knew that Sari would worry too much about this, so I didn’t tell her about it.
"Probably, Yuma-san will continue to fight even if I do say anything about it, but promise me two things. Firstly, make sure not to die. And also, make sure that you return to Zinnia!! Understand?"
I expected her to tell me to stop fighting.
I could see that Sari seemed to worry quite a bit about me.
Make sure to return to Zinnia, she say’s.
"Aah, it will be fine Sari, don’t worry too much, I will make sure to return here. It is similar to my own house after all."
Sari’s face blossomed when I said that to her,
"It’s a promise! Then, I shall go prepare dinner as usual, so please wait for a while."
Sari went downstairs after saying that to prepare dinner.
And as usual, I was able to have a delicious dinner that Sari prepared along with Iguru, and then returned to my room.
I laid on the bed while I was reflecting on the words that Sari said.
This may be the first time that someone was truly concerned about me.
There weren’t many people who were concerned about me in my previous world, there actually could be……Mother and Father were probably quite concerned about me.
I was just unable to notice it up until now.
"Haa, it’s already quite late to regret it now."
This time, I shall not allow any regrets to manifest.
I will make sure not to make Sari and the people who are concerned about me worry.
I'll make sure to live and return back here………
I have become extremely determined.
