I have to raise my level, but I’m going to finish where I’m concerned first.
First is Irza.
We need to go talk to her to see if she might know about the magic crystal.
I know where it is, and the reconstruction has progressed a lot.
Perhaps business has also resumed.
The three of us get together in the morning and have breakfast and talk.
However, we have not yet told Alena about Bamil territory.
If I told her, she would fly away immediately.
And there is still time.
Until we are ready, I’m going to work on my level up.
“So, what shall we do? I could head off on my own to the place of this Irza, …….”
[To be honest, that’s probably a good idea. I’ll go back to work on leveling up.]
“That’s right. Then Alena, you will work with him again to complete the request.”
“Okay!”
Given the current situation, I really should focus on leveling up.
Seriously, it’s just too inconvenient. ……
Should I just dive into the dungeon already?
No, but are there any good dungeons around here …….
“There is”
[There is?!]
“The cave where Alena and the others went, where the magic crystal was said to be buried, is a relatively safe dungeon managed by the guild. If we ignore the safety aspect, then there are two …… dungeons.”
Apparently there are two dungeons, one nearby and another one further away.
The dungeon that is close by seems to be where the C rank level adventurer is recommended.
They are not managed, so even if you go down to the lowest level, there is no magic circle, and you have to come back by yourself.
But that is only if you don’t use the magic circle in the church.
It seems that if you have the magic stone that you get from the magic circle in the church, you can come back immediately.
And the dungeon in the distance is a dungeon recommended for D ranks.
It seems that adventurers in the middle ranks are always going into those dungeons to sell off the materials of monsters for a high price.
Since it will be just me and Alena this time, we might as well head for the dungeon that is recommended for the D rank.
I think it would be best to leave the information gathering to Houen and Lise.
Houen will probably have the hardest time, but I’ll leave it to him to do his best.
“Is Houen alright? It must be very tough to do.”
“I have to do it. It’s kind of fun to be a detective!
“Detecthief?”
As expected, this world doesn’t understand this kind of occupation ……maybe?
Well, I never hear about that kind of thing.
I’m sure it would be fun if there were.
“Then, I’m going to go there as soon as possible.”
“Yes, I’m going to go. We’ll go to the farther dungeon.”
“Oh, yes. Don’t forget to bring a map, food, and information, okay?”
It seems that this area will be completely entrusted to Alena. ……
Is everything going to be alright?

Side -Houen-
Now …… I guess this is the right place to find Irza Magic Tool Store, right?
However, it is quite crowded, isn’t it?
The crowd is obvious from the aerial view.
The line may not be long, but it seems to be prosperous, as you can see that there are people standing in line.
Since I was going to have an important talk with them, I decided to enter the place after a few more people had gone.
However, I wonder how long this will last. ……
Since I’m not busy, I might as well ask the people in line about Irza’s character.
“Can I come in now?”
“Eh? Ah, yes. Wait- Houen-san!?”
“I’m used to this reaction.”
A single customer shouted out my name, and the eyes of the people around him were drawn to me.
This is also something I am used to, but …… I don’t know why it always happens like this.
I don’t think I’m that famous.
Well, I guess the main problem is that I stand out.
At least, I know that much.
But being noticed is not such a bad thing.
Somehow, this is the end result of getting carried away like this.
Let’s put all that aside for a moment and talk about what’s going on.
I would like you to tell me a little bit about this Irza person.
“Ah, she is the owner of this store, isn’t she? Despite her young age, she adopted an orphaned child and now runs this magic store with the children. She has a good personality, and above all, the magic tools she makes are very good.”
“Really?”
It seems she doesn’t have a bad impression of them.
However, magic tools are basically expensive items.
Do they have a selection of goods that commoners can afford? ……
No, but Reizen said that the little witch had been modifying the magic crystals.
Do they optimize their magic tools…… or have they established a mass production method to sell them cheaply?
Either way, magic tools apply to magic crystals as well.
That’s something I wouldn’t be …… crazy to know about magic crystals.
“What kind of magical tools do they sell?”
“Well, you’d better go in and have a look at them. But most of them are quite small.”
“I see. Thanks for the information.”
“Hey, are you going to go to the store?”
“I’d like to take my time. I’ll go in again when there are fewer people.”
“Is that so? The store closes before sunset, so you’d better be back inside by then.”
