Passing through the not very high but well-constructed walls,
Walk on a dirt road with lots of carriages and people passing by.
A horse-drawn carriage full of supplies and people looking at the scenery from above.
A boy can also be seen holding a map and already looking out for his surroundings, as if he is about to go on an adventure for the first time.
Although it is outside the castle walls, there are still many people.
“Isn’t there a place where there are no people and there are weak monsters…”
As I walked a little further, the grass became slightly thicker and I started to hear insects.
There doesn’t seem to be anyone passing by.
Clap-clap- Clap-clap-
“Huh? That looks similar to the slime I saw on the flyer earlier, right?”
I encountered a monster similar to a slime that the guard had told me to watch out for.
Just in case, I stepped back and looked,
Unlike the dark green color of the leaflet, it was light green in color.
This doesn’t seem like a very dangerous monster, so let’s try an experiment.
Concentrate your strength on your fingertips and shout while imagining a sharp projectile.
“Black Spear!”
Shuuung-
“Keee!”
A projectile of black light shot from the tip of a finger that focused its senses pierced the slime’s body,
The projectile that penetrated hit the tree behind and exploded with a loud sound.
Although the tree was not broken,
Smoke rose from the charred impact point, giving off a smell.
“Oh… it penetrated cleanly.”
The slime that was pierced by the projectile stopped moving in an instant.
It looks like it’s dead, as the liquid that made up its body has lost its shape.
Unlike what you see in the game, it doesn’t disappear or drop loot.
It seems that the corpse is left behind with the cessation of life activity.
It seems to be a lot more powerful than I thought… Let’s walk around a bit more.
After about two or three hours, I started to feel hungry.
I circled around the road and killed all the big and small slimes nearby.
Even if you do it for exercise, you are likely to feel hungry.
“I think I caught about 20, but I guess the level didn’t go up?”
I took out my personal book and opened it with the expectation that my level would have risen to this level.

————————————————
I don’t feel like anything has changed much, but
Still, I like how visible the growth is.
Suddenly, even though I worked hard in my past life, I couldn’t see it clearly.
I remember wondering if I was really doing well.
But in this life, I can clearly see it with my own eyes.
It must be worth the effort.
Of course, I didn’t catch any slimes and see any decent loot, but
Now that you know what it feels like to use magic and how to grow, let’s go back to the village.
***
I passed the castle wall again and returned to the village.
Since lunch is not included in the lodging and meal options… let’s eat it somewhere else.
I went into the alley next to the inn, which I hadn’t been to yesterday, and turned around and came out the back.
I saw things that couldn’t be seen on the main street between the inn and the hideout.
Among them, a store with a large image of steak on the sign caught my eye.
“The name is very simple. Steakhouse…”
Seeing that it is proudly written without any special brand name, it seems like it must be a pretty good restaurant.
Open the door right away and go in.
“Welcome! It’s empty over there, so sit over there!”
A man with a handsome mustache greeted me with a bright smile.
He asked, approaching me with a tray already filled with empty plates.
“We only sell bore steak and beer,
Since you are a woman, can I give you a little less than one serving?”
“Yes. Please leave out the beer.”
“Okay! Excluding the beer here, it’s a little less than 1 serving!”
“Hey!”
The atmosphere is like hearing ‘Irasshaimase!’ in a Japanese restaurant.
By the way, if it’s a bore steak, what kind of animal is it grilled from?
If you say boar, do you mean wild boar? Or maybe it’s a similar monster.
“No, who is this? Isn’t it you?”
While waiting for my food and thinking about what it would taste like,
I heard a somewhat familiar and cheerful voice.
“Ah! Mike, are you here too?”
“Haha. What a coincidence. How can a young wife and daughter come to a place full of these guys?”
Come to think of it, I am the only female customer here.
Haha… the fact that I’m a woman isn’t that awkward anymore.
“Don’t eat there alone, eat with us!”
“Yes! I really like it.”
At Uncle Mike’s recommendation, I joined Jake and Uncle Mike’s table.
“Hello, Mr. Jake?”
“…Hello.”
Jake said to me sternly, with an expression full of emotion, ‘We’ve met again.’
“Hehe. This guy seems a little low today,
I’m here to buy you some energy-boosting food.”
Why do I have no energy? Because I was very busy yesterday… hehe.
“Haha. So, did you remember anything?
Or something you decided to do.”
“I don’t remember well, but I heard that Gloria has a talent for magic.
First, I plan to become a wizard and go on an adventure.”
Uncle Mike took a sip of his beer and asked about me.
I told him that I wanted to work as an adventurer and wizard.
“Oh… that’s cool. My wife was also a wizard who used fire magic when she was young.
I fell in love with that gorgeous gift and proposed to her first! Haha!”
As I enjoyed my meal that followed and listened to the man tell stories from his youth,
Before I knew it, the plate was slowly getting empty.
“Now that I think about it, would you mind doing a request with us?”
“What kind of request…”
“Brother. There is a wizard we decided to hire, right?”
“Uh-huh! Please wait a moment. Since we’ve just met, wouldn’t it be nice to help you?”
Jake was trying to block my uncle’s recommendation because I was uncomfortable, but
Regardless, the man said he would help me and explained the request.
“Have you heard about the toxic slime that has been appearing in the outskirts recently?”
“Yes. The guard I saw yesterday gave me a leaflet.”
“The task is to catch the horned rabbit that ate the corpse of that toxic slime.
It seems like they have become resistant to physical attacks, perhaps because they have consumed slime for a long time.”
A monster called a horned rabbit whose properties changed after eating toxic slime.
It seemed to be quite troublesome as it had physical resistance and toxic attacks.
“Originally, the horned rabbit is a slightly stronger monster than an ordinary slime,
The guys we need to catch this time are quite strong at level 5.”
Uncle Mike and Jake are usually good at using physical attacks,
It is said that they hunt low-level monsters such as borers and lizards that can be sold for meat or leather.
Perhaps the monster corpse he was holding when he first saw it was of that type.
“If I can be of help, I’m happy. Rather, I am just grateful.”
“Haha! This is good. It’s too expensive to hire a separate wizard…”
It is said that there are few wizards in the guild in Freed Village who specialize only in magic.
So, jobs that require magic are highly remunerative, and
The cost of hiring wizards also seems to be very expensive.
“It may be a bit lower than the percentage that wizards usually receive, but…
Still, I’ll give you quite a generous amount. Then, let’s meet at the hideout tomorrow!”
Uncle Mike and Jake left the restaurant first.
Jake seemed to be glaring at me as he left here.
“Anyway, level 5 is higher than me.
Is there a big difference from the slimes you caught earlier?”
I caught quite a bit of slime today,
While talking with my uncle, longer time passed than I thought.
I decided to carry out my first party request tomorrow,
Let’s take a break today to save up our stamina.
***
The next morning.
“Now! So, everyone is ready, right?”
Uncle Mike carrying a heavy iron club and Jake carrying a sword at his waist.
The two men and I walked to the outskirts of the village, being seen off by the guards.
“If you walk for about 30 minutes from here, you will reach a forest where horned rabbits live.
It’s not a very threatening mob, but still be careful just in case.”
The quest our party must complete today is to catch a poisonous horned rabbit and take its horn.
If you collect a lot of horns and bring them to the hideout, you can receive the reward entrusted to you by the client.
Of course, my goal is also the compensation,
The real purpose is to test nanomachine skills.
According to the man, it was quite a long trip with camping outside.
In the meantime, I’m thinking of testing it on two people.
After walking hard for over 20 minutes,
I reached a place that was a bit more lush and deeper than the place I visited alone yesterday.
“At this rate, it’s time to come out. ah! I can see it over there.”
The guy hiding behind the bush, as its name suggests, was a rabbit with white fur and black horns.
Seeing that the color hasn’t changed, I don’t think it’s that guy.
“Today, I should be looking at a different guy, not that guy.
If it is green, it will be similar to the color of the bushes, so it will be difficult to find.”
“Uh! Brother, isn’t that it?”
Jake is surprised and taps Mike on the shoulder.
Me and Mike heard that sound and looked in the direction Jake was pointing.
There is something we must eradicate today,
There was a horned rabbit covered in sticky green liquid.
But that… looks a lot stronger than the horned rabbit I saw earlier. Will it be okay?
