Chapter 75
The things inside the karate clubs training room were scattered about due to Ayas tornado.
But, how did this happen? Its like a wind swept through this place. Its not me, its Ayas fault.
Im sorry.
That was rare, Aya obediently apologized. Aya began to clean the training room up alone but Mai-san and Yurie-san helped her without saying anything. By the time they finished the clean up of the training room, the three people became really close. Aya acknowledged the strength of Mai-san, and they seemed to become a complete kohai and senpai. Visually, it doesnt look that way at all Yurie-san seemed to like Aya in various meaning, other than doing skinship somewhat a bit too much, she gave off a good manager-like feeling.
Then, the three people get along with each other and enjoyed a new member welcome party at a ramen shop. In the end, Mai didnt ask about Ayas magic.

When it was almost evening, Elena started her activity at last and went to the shopping district. She came to see how the obaa-chan of the Japanese sweets shop were doing. But, the attitude of the people who come and go at the shopping district is a little strange. They seemed to be more amiable to deal with than usual.
Upon arriving at the Japanese sweets shop, innocent faced is working hard in making Japanese sweets.
Hello! How is obaa-chan doing? Elena-san!Im sorry, I wasnt able to properly say thank you this morning.
Innocent faced looked slightly different from usual, he deeply bowed to Elena courteously.
No no. So, is obaa-chan fine? Yes, her condition has already improved to the extent that she wanted to work immediately. Ive told her to sleep well today so shes sleeping at the back.
This guy, isnt his atmosphere somehow changed too much?
Is it fine if I go and see her? By all means, youre welcome here!
Elena went to the room at the back, in there, obaa-chan was sleeping on the futon.
Obaa-chan, how are you feeling? Oh, if it isnt Elena-chan!How could I ever thank you for saving the life of this senile old woman.
The obaa-chan jumped out of the futon and bowed deeply while sitting in seiza. The attitude is as if the God has visited.
Please dont say that youre a senile old woman. Because I love obaa-chans sweets very much, please rest well and recovery quickly. You can take no matter how many Japanese sweets you want.
Somehow, the obaa-chan is also feeling deeply grateful to Elena. Had we really gone too far?But, its not something that can be exchanged with life In the end, Elena returned home with a lot of Japanese sweets from innocent faced.

That week, there was nothing strange happened in particular. Aya spent all her time training with Mai at the karate club. I looked at her status at home and herBody techniqueshad become level 3. Elena remained as usual, she cast good luck charm at the shopping district and came back with lots of things. It seemed that the goods that she was getting were becoming more and more luxurious. As for director, he was asking me persistently on when will the next sample be available, I avoided it properly withMonday next week. Rather, has that 1 already been used up?

With those, weekend came. Per usual, I confirmed the current location of Nancy who tours around the Earth and Azide-san who travels around Delaidos Kingdom.
Nancy visited Thailand and India. Currently, shes about to depart from India. As for Azide-san, hes about to depart from Ikebu town to Shinju town.
It seemed, I will be able to go to Shinju town next week. After solving the issue of Delaidos kingdoms war, I wonder if its fine to travel abroad?
Well then, lets investigate the village that was destroyed by the demon lords army. Yes.Ye~s.
We teleported towards theIkebu town.
Although I didnt notice when I was here previously, there are quite a number of stern-looking soldiers wandering about. What are these guys?
While thinking about the soldiers, we head towards theAdventurers guildfirst. I inquired about the village which was destroyed by the demon lords army. The village name isScab village1, it seems that it was located a few days to the north. Although theres a proper road, there seems to be a lot of monsters that appears frequently so theres now a few people going to that place. I also inquired about the tower of sunrise but the information that I obtained was about the same as the one I got from Azide-san.
Anyway, I tried to check on the request board and there was this D rank request. Subjugation request Orcsubjugation (repeatable request) Contents: Subjugate 1Orcmonster. Bring in theOrcs tuskas the subjugation proof. Reward: 100 Aurum
Seriously, there are more than 100Orcsinside the inventory. I think we could rank up to C rank immediately when I turn in these tusks?Well, theres no particular meaning in raising rank so not for now.
It seemed that the only request for E rank is still only theWolfsubjugation as before.
, we went to theMerchants Guild. As usual, theres a shortage of wheat. I sold the 25kg wheat flour which I used a little bit in the church last time. Although, its in the condition where I used a bit of it, it was still sold for 2,500 A. When I asked about the shortage of wheat, it seems that the aristocrat who governs the Ikebu town gathered all the soldiers for war. It seems theres not enough wheat to secure the food of the solders.
, we went to theCraftsmans Guildand sold 12Stimulat potion +3. TheStimulant potion +3were sold for 2, 000 Aurum per vial, totaled 24, 000 Aurum. With this excessive money, we dont have to worry about luxury.. , we looked forPurple nettleandHoly waterwhich were the ingredients forCurse healing potionthat Id like to make but we didnt find both of them. I have to get them somewhere.
Because as we gather information, we went to places we could go around the town, we found a temple-like building.
Elena, isnt that a temple? Yes, thats the temple ofOracle. That temple doesnt enshrine a mana crystal but a huge flat rock called Monolith. I see, theres also a temple of mana crystal unexpectedly.2
After not getting a particular valuable information, we decided to hold a strategy meeting during lunch at the dining room.
Well, our goal is to go to the scab village but thats where the problem lies.
Usually, we could go to that place by borrowing a carriage We wont be able to return till tomorrow even with a carriage, its a little troublesome.
How about running? Ill become a hindrance. Not, If I run alone. Are you going to go by yourself, Seiji-sama!? No, Aya and I will run in turns. Me too!?But, taking turns?
Because I can useTeleportationto drop off and pick up Aya at any place when its time for the shift. I see. Well then, is Elena going to remain here?
I-, I will also run. Sorry but Elena cant use any speed magic likemovement speed reinforcement,TailwindorQuick Thats right Elena, when Aya and I came back tired, well rely on you to recover. Yes, I understand.
Our determined strategy was Ayas turn will be in the afternoon while mine will be at night.
Aya, I dont think you would get lost since you only need to follow this road all the way to the north and be careful with the monsters, okay? Un, leave it to me!
We saw off Aya who departed from the north exit of the town triumphantly. Theres a low possibility of encountering a dangerous monster during the day, with Ayas speed, it will be easy to escape. I will noticed it usingVigilancewhen it gets dangerous then I could go there and help usingTeleportation.
Elena and I rented a room in the inn. I decided to take a nap while Elena stayed quite inside the room.
Translator notes and reference:
1Sekabu village, I thought Scab would fit because it was destroyed and its like a scab? lol. 2Okay, Im confused about this part, maybe a typo?.
