I look at the map I got and think about where to go.
"The largest is the royal capital." The next largest is a city with a port and a city with a mine, a frontier city adjacent to a forest where monsters live, which is highly recommended for earning money and becoming stronger.
Kanum, the frontier city, is recommended. I have the ID card I received, but I heard that it would be easier to enter and exit the city temporarily if I registered with the adventurer's guild. Conversely, if you don't have your ID, you can't stay long in a place where the guild isn't summoned.
Since monsters frequently appear in the area, they are constantly summoned, so adventurers inevitably gather in Kanum.
Decide where to go to Kanum, [Teleport] to a nearby forest, show your ID, pay the amount, and go through the city gate. Rish is an answering machine.
Although it's called a city, it's small in scale, but it seems that only places that are recognized as cities can have city walls and gates.
There was only a place that was attacked by monsters, and a splendid city wall covered the surroundings. It seems that in other cities, simple documents are required, but here there are many people coming and going, and above all, because they want to attract adventurers and merchants as much as possible, the examination is lax. Even if the pattern is a little bad, it's okay if I can defeat the attacking monsters.
While shopping, I walk around town and reconcile with the knowledge of this world that I've been taught. It was as I had heard, but I didn't really feel it.
First of all, the clothes, my clothes are common in shape, but they are all brand new and stand out. And maybe my appearance. I quickly bought a clean hooded robe at a second-hand clothing store to hide my face and clothes. I also heard about a store that sells bags to put flour in, so I bought a new one because I'm going to put food in it.
"Walk around and buy tableware and farming tools." The garden is left pristine so that you can plant whatever you like. Seeing that the grape vine crawling on the wall had beautiful leaves, I handed him a gift and received a branch.
"Kanum is a miscellaneous town." Adventurers and those who do business with adventurers, peddlers who buy goods and sell them in other towns. Although the danger of monsters is great, a farmer who came because he was attracted to the land he cultivated and became his own.
The houses within the city walls are narrow, and the buildings stretch upward, adding to the miscellaneous feeling. In contrast, the wheat fields outside are spacious and refreshing. Well, if a monster appears from the forest on the other side, it seems there is a possibility that it will be ruined all at once.
For linens such as sheets and towels, let's take a peek at the store in the royal capital. I don't want something that is a little stiff here to be normal. Just a normal sword and armor?
The feeling of walking is the same feeling as listening. The price of things is high, and the price of labor, or the price of people, is low.
Depending on the location, slaves are also bought and sold, and there are even edible slaves. The harvest of crops depends on the weather and the damage caused by monsters, and it seems that it is quite unstable.
Fortunately, no, it's only natural that I chose it, but the climate around my house is mild, the crops are stable, and the sale of slaves is prohibited in this country.
Monsters are ordinary animals possessed by evil spirits. Animals possessed by ordinary spirits are called holy beasts. Furthermore, when they start speaking human language, they are called gods or evil gods.
"Well, it's just a matter of whether it's convenient for humans or not."
"By the way, where is the store that sells weapons?" When I asked the lady who gave me the branch of grapes, I wondered if it was because of this kindness, or because of this face, she suddenly grabbed some people in the neighborhood and started interviewing them, and told me about three stores with good reviews.
One is a weapon shop, one is a leather armor shop, and one is a metal armor shop. The blacksmith also told me about it, but since I have a sword, any sword of similar weight and length will do, so I'm a little sorry.
"Go to the weapon shop and choose a sword that can be wielded with one hand or both hands, with a thick blade that cuts." It's a sword that often appears in fantasy comics, isn't it a little long? I was able to swing a few with one hand and both hands, and quickly decided.
It's well-balanced and easy to swing, but it's useless for me, who has never touched a sword other than the "Zanzenken", to worry about it.
It seems that some great swords are used to strike with their weight. A metal sword I had never heard of was also displayed on the wall behind the counter. I listened to the clerk's explanation while watching [Appraisal], but I couldn't judge if it was suitable for me.
"I got a sword with maintenance tools and a sword belt." Two more knives.
Next is the leather armor shop, according to the old lady's information, metal armor will die in the summer. Hearing that, I imagined a picture of a fried egg being cooked on the hood of a car, and decided to wear leather armor.
I was going to buy a breastplate, but it's difficult to move, so I bought leather clothes with high defensive power, although they were a little expensive. It seems to be the leather of a goat monster.
They seem to deal with all kinds of leather products, including boots, gloves, bags, and waist pouches. Added a belt to which a knife can be attached and a leather maintenance tool.
The bag is like a cylindrical leather bag with the ends tied and attached to a belt, and when opened it becomes quite large. It's the one you put in when you hunt rabbits and wild boars in the forest. It is said that the inside is slippery and even animal blood can be washed off cleanly. There is [Storage], but it's not a normal ability, so don't be suspicious.
Preparations are complete after buying wound medicine, bleaching, and alcohol for disinfection. They were selling ``Potions'' that heal injuries instantly, which is common in so-called games, but it was ridiculously expensive. Is it because there are few people who can make it, or is the material expensive?
"I'll use [Appraisal] for the time being." If you look at it, when you find the ingredients, it should appear in what you can make with [Appraisal].
"I'm going to the adventurer's guild in this outfit, but tomorrow." I bought an apron and today I'm grinding.
In order not to be suspicious of going in and out of town too often, I booked an inn and [Teleported] in that room. I want to eat food from this world, but I'll have to do some research so I don't get upset.
"When I tried [Appraisal] in Kanum because I wanted to eat around the food stalls, there was a good chance that the sausage had Clostridium botulinum..." [Healing] is available, but I want to avoid it.
Plant grapes near the support of the shelf outside the living room of the house. If you sprinkle a pinch of "powder of growth" on it, it will take root in no time, grow vines and grow leaves. It's still out of season, but it doesn't bear fruit yet, but I've got a beautiful grape trellis.
After eating lunch, grind the flour as planned in the afternoon. When you thresh it and put it in something like a funnel above the millstone, it falls into the millstone that moves little by little and turns into powder.
"There was a replacement with a different number of grooves on the millstone, but for now I'll use the one that came with it." It seems to change the grain depending on whether it is ground finely or coarsely.
The powder falls underground from a funnel-shaped receiver, and a powder bag is set at the tip. I decided to leave the grinding to the water wheel and take a walk in the forest because the bag would not overflow.
The forests in the mountains are mostly beech and oak, but there are also wild chestnuts, apples, pears, and apricots.
"[Appraisal]" said that the acorns should be fed to the pigs, that mushrooms tend to grow under this tree, and that the surrounding branches should be removed to allow more sunlight in. Food relations really come out in detail.
As you walk through the forest, you will find last year's chestnut burrs and dead leaves spread brown on the wet ground.
The red plums were shaped like bells, and the flat peaches were different from Japanese peaches. When I tried eating plums, it was sour, so I guess it was jam. Peaches are slightly sweet and quite delicious, so I [store] those that look good.
The area around the house is gently sloping, but the temperature is quite different between the bottom and top due to the steep slope. It's still warmer than the island.
"I've also been able to grind wheat, and I've harvested various things."
Wide fresh pasta with plenty of Gorgonzola cheese. Cheese is often entwined with wide pasta, eat quickly before it cools and hardens. For dessert, after eating flat peaches in the daytime, I wanted to eat something made in Japan, so I chose peaches. I hope Rich eats meat soon too.
"Shall we try some wine?" "I haven't turned 20 yet." How old do you have to be to drink alcohol here?
University was disappointing, but unexpectedly I was able to get a life with food, clothing and shelter guaranteed, and I'm happy. Enjoy the freedom of being alone for a while, doing what you want to do and not doing what you don't want to do.
"No one should harm me, but for the time being, the floor-to-ceiling window that people can enter has an iron grid, so I'll close it."
Take a bath and go to bed, the bedding is much better than the inn. Rish looks up at me.
"Are you feeling a little better? Good."
He's barely moved from his cage, and his eyes don't seem to open as usual, but the tears around his eyes have disappeared.
I gently stroked her head and fell asleep.
