When I woke up, it was pitch black in front of me. Of course, there is no electricity here, so that’s natural.

I prayed that I may not be in a dream today.

Nearby, I can hear Miria’s regular breathing.

I looked at the clock to see what time it was, but it was only five o’clock. It’s been a while since I woke up so early.

After a little bit of stretching, Miria began to wriggle. Apparently it happened because she woke up just now.

“Huh? Oh, good morning.”

“Yeah, good morning Miria.”

As I pat Milia on the head, I think about what I’m going to do today.

For starters, I’ll have Miria learn all the jobs she can learn now, just like I did yesterday. I might as well ask her directly which job she wants, to get the most out of it.

Let’s just say that the excuse is that we took a bath together yesterday.

“How is Miria, how are you feeling?”

“Oh, yeah. I think I’m okay?”

Still half asleep, she stretched her hands to the ceiling, opening and closing her palms.

“Why? But why are you in the room? Uh? And why are we sleeping inside the same futon?”

After all, it seems that she is still tired. Usually, one would be screaming right now in a situation like this.

“When we took a bath yesterday, you fainted because you were exhausted. So I brought you from there to the room and took care of you.”

“Oh, I see. Sorry for the trouble…?! Oh!? Why are you in your underwear?!”

“Because tt was hot, I took off my clothes. I was starting to get sweaty.”

Miria’s warmth was still lingering, but I said that and got out of bed and used my fire magic to light the candle.

“Huh!?waa, waaa ,waa, My underwear! My underwear has changed!”

“Well, you did take a bath. I didn’t want to carry you naked and soaked to the bone, so I gave you a pair of underwear I got from the tailor. Those panties are cute, aren’t they?”

“You saw it. I was seen. I was seen…”

She covered herself with the futon, embarrassed by the reminder.

“I don’t want to move anymore. I don’t want to be more embarrassed.”

“It’s okay. There’s nothing more embarrassing. When I washed your whole body yesterday, I checked every corner to make sure there was no dirt left over.”

“Every corner! Ah, I can’t stand this. I can’t marry anyone now…”

“It’s okay, I’ll take care of that. Leave it to me with confidence. Now, let’s get on with our day!”

She hadn’t come out of the covers for any length of time, so I tried to force her out of the futon, but she wouldn’t leave.

“No! No, I don’t wanna! No! No!”

It seems that her head isn’t catching up when she wakes up. She’s like a child. Well, she is just a child. (FBI: Knock! Knock!!)

I can’t help it, so when I tried to leave the room to wash my face, I opened the door a little without making a noise.

I guess she heard Milia’s voice, and Mia is peeking at me through the gap.

Oh, our eyes met. I’m scared! An assassin!

Miria is still saying no. It seems that she is not aware of Mia peeking.

“Then, I’m going to eat Mia’s delicious breakfast, so wait in bed.”

“What!?”

“If you don’t want to leave the room so badly, you won’t be using magic anymore. You are sealed for life as a mage.”

“Eh?!”

I wonder if the excuse of sealing magical potential has worked, but Miria jumps off the bed and runs and hugs my arm.

“I’m.. I’m going too!”

“You said you didn’t want to go with me. Then, I’m going to go alone. I can feed you as well as Miria.”

“No! I’ll go with you!”

What a cute creature she is. I look at her, smiling softly. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen her like this before, but Mia looks at me with a surprised look on her face.

“Do you like me?”

“Like! So I’m going with you!”

“Are you going to transfer the slave right from Mia-san to me?”

“Transfer! I’ll transfer and go with you!”

Do you even know what you are saying? Miria is cute when she just wakes up. It’s just like an infant.

“Is it alright? Mia-san.”

“Yes!”

“It can’t be helped. This child was originally purchased not to be used as a slave, but as our child. We thought the transfer would be when the child would get married, but if you’re going to go that far, I can’t object to it. ”

Seeing Mia enter the room while saying that, Miria froze with her mouth open.

“Eh…? When!? Where?!”

“Hmm? I saw you from the time you were whining around in the futon.”

“Noooooooooo!”

You took the time to come out of the Amano-Iwato , but you went in again by yourself. What are you doing now?(TN: Amano-Iwato is also known as Heavenly-rock cave )

“Well, that’s why. Takashi, please make time for this evening.”

“Eh? Ah, yes. I understand.”

Saying that much, Mia-san left the room. I am going to get Miria!?

Contrary to my attitude, which was pleased, Miria spoke again in her futon.

“Oh, what am I saying…”

For starters, I take out a set of Miria’s equipment and say something to egg her on.

“‘Look, Miria. I know you were frustrated that you couldn’t boil the bath, and today I’m going to raise your magic power. So hurry up and get dressed.”

“Magic! Is it true?!”

Yes! And she came out of the futon and turned her eyes to me. She must have been so frustrated. There is no hesitation in her now.

“Magic! Can you really increase my magic!?”

“Oh, maybe I can. I will try my best, so get dressed fast.”

“Really!? It’s true! It’s a promise! Yeah!”

I guess she’s getting used to living with me to the extent that she was jumping excitedly in her underwear.

While she was cheering, jumping up and down, I put some of her clothes out for her.

“Let’s have a meal before that. We have to decide today’s schedule, and let’s talk again while eating.”

“Yes!”

She was crying, laughing, and feeling happy. Gradually, I am starting to find out more about the busy Miria.

While moving Miria’s head to the dining room, she decides what to do today while having breakfast.

“There are things I want to experiment with, so let’s do a hunt request. So let’s do our work afterwards.”

“What do you want to try? How long does it take?”

“Hmm, I didn’t take 30 minutes yesterday. But it’s up to you, because I’m going to make you do it today. Still, I wonder if we will finish in a hour?”

“I’ll do my best!”

It’s just a matter of learning the skills, and it won’t take long.

But, then there will be quite a bit of time between the evening and my meeting with Mia. I’ll need money to do anything further, and I wonder if there’s anything I can do to earn some cash while I’m training Miria.

“Hey, Miria. Is there any good way to make a lot of money?”

“Well, I think I’ve said it before, but it’s quite hard to get requests, but money’s a sure thing if you can get one. And you’ll get the materials from it too.”

“Oh, then, isn’t there a material that is extremely valuable?”

“There are comparatively weak monsters around this country. However, there are usually unique monsters like the Black Wolf yesterday, in the place where the monsters are. There are of course high rewards if you defeat them, but one should challenge them with several parties. It’s dangerous for solo work.”

Speaking of which, yesterday, the wolf that the guild’s old man killed was unique. Was it so dangerous?

But even though it was unknown and boosted, I killed it in one shot. I didn’t feel that strong. Well, I was in control, otherwise it would have been dangerous if it was more of a crowd.

“What other unique monsters are there around here besides the Black Wolf?”

“No way! You aren’t thinking of fighting it again?! It was such a close call yesterday!”

“Of course I’ll fight? It’s for money. And there’s a magician in my party now.”

“Um… I’m glad to hear you say that about me, but I was able to win because we had such good luck yesterday!”

I know that. But I’m confident that if I could have used magic at that time, I would have been able to defeat it without taking damage. Fighting it with two or three parties is probably the recommended number of people, if they’re rank E adventurers who can’t use magic at all.

“It’s ok. Even with three times less fighters than yesterday, we can manage.”

“Well… where does that confidence come from?”

“If it comes down to it, I’ll be able to use my own magic. Instead, do you know where other unique monsters are in these places?”

“Yes, I know. There are about 6 more around here. I haven’t had any information recently about them being taken down, so I think they’re probably still here.”

The reward was 8 gold for killing the Black Wolf. Originally, it would have split it among three parties, so it would be about 44 silver each, but there are only two of us. If we killed all the unique monsters, we’d get 8 gold x 6, or 48 gold. That’s a lot of money all at once!

Wouldn’t it be possible to become a millionaire just by defeating them? But the reality isn’t so sweet, is it?

“Does it come out even if you defeat a Unique?”

“Yes, even if it is unique, it is a head of it’s flock, so if you defeat it, the next head will take its place.”

“How often is that?”

“I think it happens once a year.”

Is it really a year? With that long wait, it’s likely that we would have to find other ways to make money as well.

“Okay, let’s finish the work today and go hunting all the unique monsters.”

“What? You’re going to do it after all!?”

“Of course. Do you not want money, Miria?”

“I’m a slave. I can’t hold more than a certain amount of money.”

Huh? This is the first time I’ve heard that information. What a cliche.

Yeah, but Miria is a good girl, so that’s good, but it sure seems like many people would think that it would be bad for a slave to have money. It’s kind of upsetting.

“Really? I didn’t know. By the way, how much can you have?”

“About 50 silver. I can’t hold more than that.”

“Okay. Well then, here you go!.”

I take 45 silver and 94 copper from my inventory and place them in front of Miria. It’s almost all that I own.

“What! What is this big pile of money! I don’t need it!”

“No. Keep it. You’ll be in trouble if something happens to me.”

“Yes. If Takashi-san is like that, I understand.”

The money I put in was carefully counted and put in her inventory. She’s quite disciplined.

“Wow! Wow! That’s just 50 silver when combined with the money I’ve accumulated!”

Well, yeah, that’s right. I can see your money. Oh, but isn’t it bad if others can see? Let’s act appropriately.

“Oh, that’s great! It was all I had, and when you put it all together, it’s like we’re perfect for each other! We’re all tied together by a thread of destiny, after all!”

“That’s not happening, but it’s still amazing!”

Why are you so cold, Miria? Well, it’s a trivial matter, because you’re happy.

“Okay, then the schedule has been decided, so let’s start now.”

“Yes!”

After a meal, we relax a bit, return the key to Mia at the counter, and leave the inn.

Our first destination is the guild.
