Now then, we departed from the campsite and stayed in a village for around three days, but nothing happened at all so we decided to move to the next village.
Hmm, how could I say this… this happened often in villages pretty far from big cities, but they made light of adventurers, or even disdained them…
In this kind of rural area, adventurers were considered to be the bottom profession the third son or younger children did once they got expelled from their own house. That made the adventurers who happened to stop by to be looked down upon unreasonably.
Honestly, they shouldn’t act like that to the adventurers who took a request to exterminate goblins in this village.
If the adventurers didn’t get rid of the goblins, they would die, okay? Don’t they understand that? But they didn’t seem to notice.
As a result, the adventurers who took the request completed their task while feeling uncomfortable. Then they reported how they got tested after returning to the city where the guild branch was based, causing no one to accept the request from this village anymore once the news spread. Apparently, the village we stopped was that kind of village.
After all, this kind of village often beat the reward down after the adventurer fulfilled the request.
And what made us uncomfortable was that they mistook us to be adventurers who took their request for some reason and unreasonably told us to defeat the goblins. They even called us useless. When they knew we weren’t taking their request, they scolded us for not helping them, and that we wouldn’t make any money without taking their request.
Depending on the flow, I might feel like taking the subjugation request, but I was very discouraged… Well, we decided to move out without staying for even an hour, though our initial plan was half a day,
And the damage caused by the goblins in this village was quite bad… The village wouldn’t be able to handle it if this kept going on and had to break up. I wanted to tell them that, but they should realize it on their own. I didn’t care about what’s going to happen to them.
However, having people hating adventurers didn’t only happen in these villages, but also in big cities. Even so, that wasn’t very frequent.
Yet these people did accept heroes and heroic adventurers they heard in saga and bard songs. Why? Didn’t they think those heroic beings could be the ones standing in front of them? To be fair, I wasn’t some kind of hero, though.
“That was a terrible village…”
“We won’t stop by that kind of place often. Don’t worry.”
“Those terrible places aren’t that many~”
“Hmm…”
“Let’s go somewhere a little bigger next time.”
“You’re right.”
And for a few days, we rushed past several villages and stayed in a place that was more like a small town than a village. There were no walls protecting it, but the fences were stronger than in most villages. There were also empty moats, inns, and blacksmiths, complete with Adventurer’s Guild’s branch.
By the way, you normally wouldn’t find guild branches or branch offices in a village. Sometimes it happened to be there, but they were the minority.
After arriving in the town, we first looked for an inn. There were three inns in this town, one of which had a cafeteria and bar and the second floor was an inn. That would make it noisy at night. One of the remaining two inns was cheap and the last one was the most solid, so we decided on the last one. By the way, the fee was also the highest. But then, we could only park our carriages in the last place or the inn with a bar, so we basically had no choice.
After booking the inn, we immediately took a walk. By the way, Norn had to guard our room. Sorry.
This place seemed to be a small town with a lot of people coming and going along the roads around here, and I saw quite a few travelers, merchants, and adventurers.
Hmm, the townspeople were doing pretty well, so it might be a good idea to make a base as an adventurer here for a while.

There were many places to have a meal in the town, such as a bar and dining room with inn service, or other restaurants that serve a light meal. Other than that was stalls that sell vegetables and junk-food-looking meals managed by uncles, aunts, boys, and young men.
As we were purchasing items from an open stall aunt who sells vegetables, we asked her about a delicious restaurant here. Just as I expected, she told us that restaurants with inns usually didn’t serve delicious food.
Adventurers who stayed for a long time usually chose cheap inns or inns with taverns, and that caused problems such as noise and fights… It’s unfortunate, but let’s not go there.
And the most delicious restaurant here was a dining room. We probably would go there often, then. If I could rent the inn’s kitchen, I could also cook for myself. But I didn’t want to make trouble again… how annoying.
After having a late lunch at the delicious dining room we heard about, we decided to take a peek at the Adventurer’s Guild and walk around on foot.
“The restaurant is pretty good.”
“Is that so? I’m used to Ren’s cooking, so I don’t think it’s that delicious.”
“Me too~”
“Nah, I think it was delicious since the soup has a lot of vegetables, you see? That’s nutritious and good for the body.”
“Ah~ That makes sense.”
“Muu. Arisa, you traitor!”
The main sauteed horned rabbit meat was quite bland, but the bread was surprisingly white! It was soft and easy to eat, so it got nice points for the girls. Well, it’s still inferior to my own yeast.
But that thing would be pretty complicated for adventurers… Munching black bread gave its own kind of satisfaction, but you wouldn’t be able to eat white bread regularly, especially during an expedition. If anything, I think people went to that dining room to celebrate something or have a little luxurious dining out. Did they have visitors coming in? Was it profitable doing that kind of business…?

We arrived at the Adventurer’s Guild while having an idle talk. In addition, this place also established a bar attached to the guild’s building. Why is this kind of dual-purpose bars popular here…? But this town had no specialized bar, so maybe a lot of people demanded it? But that would make it harder to take requests in the guild, so I felt complicated. It would be better to open a new bar if people wanted to have fun… Ahh, but that would help to take measures against people who came to make trouble. Other adventurers might come to help. Plus the staff seemed like they could handle a lot of things too. Oh well. It’s not like I had any plan to start a business here.
When we entered the guild building with Bell, there were people drinking alcohol in the daytime. I could also see a party that seems to have returned early, and a party distributing rewards to their members. Their line of sight gathered at us for a moment and immediately dispersed. This could be a normal reaction when seeing someone unfamiliar coming in, I guess? I’m nervous, you say? I don’t mind. I’m used to impolite gazes.
Let’s regain my mind and look at the bulletin board filled with request forms.
“…This is….”
“Yeah. It’s already past noon after all.”
Only a few requests left, such as several goblin subjugations, one kobold subjugation, and a few specific herbs collection… Hmm, boring. The challenging one was subjugating the demons found in the spring deep in the forests. In the first place, what should I do in subjugation requests? We were a clan, not a party. As long as we acted together while collecting herbs, there shouldn’t be any problem. But…
“What are we going to do?”
“How about reconfirming it tomorrow morning~? It’s already pretty late now.”
“Hmm, But with this lineup, I think it’s going to be pretty much the same when we come back tomorrow morning. Maybe the varieties are wolf, orc, bear, or something like that? We can go for orcs, but Arisa, you once said skinning bear fur was hard, right? We actually accepted it before, but my magic wasn’t very effective. We only managed to finish it in the nick of time.”
“Ah, we’re going to be fine~ It should be easy with this sword~”
“Ahhh, right. Arisa has Ren’s sword… And I also have a ring, so we’re completely different from that time… Hmm.”
I see. Since the equipment I gave them was superior, the range of the subjugation requests we could take would expand… But I would like to operate ‘Magic Armor’ in actual battle. If my age limit wouldn’t restrict me anymore, should I take the subjugation requests? Hmm…
“Then how about we come back here immediately tomorrow morning?”
“I think that’s fine.”
“But we won’t have much free time if we do that…”
“…What should we do then?”
“I don’t really mind with anything~”
Arisa had stopped thinking recently… Well, that’s fine.
“Then, rather than taking a request, why don’t we walk around the outskirts of the town? We can also collect things that look good.”
“Ahh, that’s a good idea.”
“Okay, let’s go right away!”
Arisa… No, it’s fine! It’s really fine! But hey, can you be a bit more…!
We then moved to the entrance of the town. When we told the gatekeepers at the entrance that we wanted to check the surrounding terrain for future requests, they willingly let us leave. We moved counterclockwise once we went out of the town. The other side was filled with fields, and that would make it impossible to look for herbs.
I think they should put water in this empty moat… Hmm, but when combined with the high fence, the defense power was high, I guess? Mumumu.
This side didn’t particularly cut through the forest, and the forest looked quite deep… That’s why people requested to exterminate the monsters that had settled down here.
Going in for a while, I could see the nostalgic trees that I often saw deep inside a forest… Wait, isn’t this a bamboo! I had to confirm this!
Lily and the others dashed after me who suddenly started running. But that was bamboo! A bamboo! Bamboo shoots!
“…There’s no doubt. It’s bamboo.”
I used [Appraisal] on it, and I found out that it was moso bamboo. Bamboo shoots were delicious. I didn’t hate square bamboo, but they probably didn’t grow together… What a shame. I had to find them separately.
However, I never thought I would find bamboo in this place…! This alone made our trip to this town worth it! Yay!
(This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)
(Please visit Re:Library to show the translators your appreciation and stop supporting the content thief!)
I collected it immediately. I stored the entire ground in [Storage], together with the rhizomes. I managed to secure a lot of stocks, so I’m satisfied. But I had to pick up bamboo shoots early in the morning, so I didn’t collect that now. It’s April now, the season for bamboo shoots. I would definitely pick them up! Absolutely!
“We finally caught up… What are you doing?”
“I found what I was looking for.”
“What are you doing with this scooped ground?”
“I collected a little bit of the soil.”
By the way, let’s also look for places where bamboo shots were likely to grow. It didn’t really matter now, though.
“…Are you still looking for something?”
“Yeah. Delicious foods are growing, so I want to come to pick it up early tomorrow morning.”
“Early morning? You can’t pick it up now?”
“It tastes bad unless I pick it up in the morning.”
“…I see. Then I have to do my best too.”
“Delicious food… I will also help~”
Oh? They would help me? They probably did it for the delicious food, but I got labor help!
After that, once we finished dinner and returned to the inn, I found some things when I asked the inn staff about bamboo.
First of all, the bamboo was planted by a swordsman who came from Hourai a long time ago. And no one used the bamboo to craft items or make products. They didn’t eat the bamboo shoots as well. What a waste…
But I didn’t want to stand out, so I didn’t disclose any information or cook any bamboo related dish. But I had a little idea when it came to cooking. Let’s check it tomorrow.
It’s a little early, but let’s go to bed now. I had to get up early to pick up bamboo shoots and then go to take requests. How busy!
