“It’s over. Thank you for waiting, Lydia-san.”

“Thirty sure. Toru, 7 silver 20 copper.”

“Thanks every time. Good work, Ashima.”

Without waiting for me to finish speaking, Ashima sat down on the bed.

“It’s rude to say something like this when Fujima-kun is here, but huh… I’m tired.”

“ Don’t overdo it. Don’t let Ashima overdo it.”

“It was bad…”

Of course, there’s a reason why I’m scratching my head.

Both SP and MP are required to work with Ashima. Until now, I’ve been taking breaks, but when the amount of materials I bring back increases, she can’t keep up with the work while taking a break. Ashima continued to work while forcing herself, becoming exhausted, scolded by Lydia, and incidentally scolding me.

“Hey Ashima. Shouldn’t the materials be put in a bag? Don’t force yourself to do it all at once…”

“It’s no good… Then I’ll be a hindrance…”

“What is it? It’s much more annoying if you force yourself to death.”

“Fujima-kun, you were able to say that line well.”

“Usse (Shut it)!”

A look of exhaustion appeared on Ashima’s face. ……But I was relieved that she could afford to smile thinly.

“I think I should buy the bottles for you guys. It will save both Toru and Ashima a lot of work.”

“No, no!　Then I won’t be able to increase my experience in smelting and processing!”

Ashima gets up from the bed with a thud. No, you should be resting.

“I want to collect sand too. Kobotaro is now able to collect orpheus sand.”

“He still makes a lot of mistakes, but if he can stabilize the collection of Orpheus sand and get a D grade, Kobotaro may be able to collect epee grass. So for the time being, I want to let him collect sand and get used to it.”

“Kobotaro can collect sand?.”

Lydia’s ice-blue eyes widened. 

“One out of three times he succeeded with the Orpheus sand.”

“Bullshit.”

“What am I going to do with a lie, …..?”

I know that Lydia has no malice in her heart, but I frowned at her as if she suspected me of lying about kobotaro.

“Because.”

The reason being is that few people have summoning as their main skill, and in most cases, summoning is learned by wizards as an adjunct to other magic and used as a “wall” during the chanting process.

Then you can safely hunt monsters from behind a wall of powerful attack magic and summoned monsters, and there is no need to make a living by gathering them. No wonder people don’t think of using summoned monsters for gathering.

“I didn’t know that summoned monsters could collect.”

So it was understandable that Lydia thought so.

“No, I didn’t know that either. Kobotaro asked me for a pair of gloves for gathering, and that’s when I first learned that it was possible to gather.”

“Kobotaro asked for them? It is a real mystery.”

Lydia is amazed at Kobotaro’s humanity. I’m …… kind of proud. I was tempted to summon Kobotaro and show him off to Lydia, but I’ll just have to wait a little longer until my MP is fully restored.

I noticed that Ashima was sound asleep on the bed. Lydia gently pulled the covers over her.

“Toru”

“Hmm?”

“I heard from Ashima that the contract will expire the day after tomorrow.”

“Oh……”

In real life, on a Monday in Arcadia, I signed a contract with Ashima, saying, “I’ll hire you for just one week.” Strictly speaking, the contract expires exactly at noon the day after tomorrow, but…

“I’ve been wondering about Ashima for a long time. What will Toru do?”

“Hmm……”

“I care.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Fujima-kun, can you renew the contract…?  I’m excited.”

“Is that so?”

“Are you going to renew your contract? “

“……Am i?”

While suffering unreasonable emotional wounds from her second imagination, she casts aside the illusion.

“It depends on Ashima. If she thinks I’m useful, she can stay.”

“Is that enough for Toru?”

……………………………………………………………………………………. That’s the only way.

“Yes.”

Lydia surely knows what’s inside Ashima’s heart.

Loneliness is nobility.

Loneliness is strength.

“Is that what you want, Toru?”

I was so weak that I had to exert myself to live my life in such a way.

People drift toward the easy way. They try to put down their heels whenever the opportunity arises in order to become stronger.

That’s fine. Even muscles need breaks.

But the problem I have is that the breaks, the sunshine, is too gentle for …… me.

I want to stay here forever.

I wish I could stay here forever.

It’s not a break anymore, it’s an act of turning my calf muscles into flab.

I, who have nothing, who have only the flimsy pride that loneliness is strength, now wish for a daily life that is so sweet that it seems to melt my heart, and for that I am lifting up my heels as hard as I can.

……It is not funny.
