âWell then⊠hmm⊠wait a sec? This remind me, it doesnât really matter what are we celebrating, right?â (Soma)
âAah, yeah⊠isnât alright to celebrate the success of the ruin exploration?â (Aina)
âThat is even though when we didnât find what we aim for, isnât it?â (Aina)
ââŠBut, it yielded something.â (Sheila)
âHmm, from the viewpoint of adventurers, it can be said that it is a success, but⊠well, I have another idea, so would you like to hear it? ThenâŠâ (Soma)
âŠA toast to the success of the ruin exploration.
Four voices overlapped. It was a light sound, but⊠âthatâ didnât echoed.
The reason was simple.
In order to make it resonate, Somaâs group extended their arms to the fullest, but it was impossible to hit each otherâs cup.
The chair and the table where the four were sitting were basically intended for adults.
Although it wasnât suitable for all of them, the difficult part was just the arms length.
Even their foots didnât reach the groundâŠ
It was possible to hit the cups if they stood on the chair in case they wanted to do it, but⊠this place wasnât the place to do so.
Therefore, the four of them bitterly laughed at each other in such a situation and they stopped holding the cup.
Then, everyone made a sound âFuhaaâ almost at the same time.
By the way, what was filled in their cups was milk and water.
There was no specific law that prohibited minor from drinking in this country, but the body simply couldnât accept it.
Although it was a bit inappropriate considering such a place, it was happening at present.
AnyhowâŠ
âWell, whether the luck was good or bad, I am not sure about the result we got.â (Soma)
âWhy not? If looking only at the result, shouldnât we considered lucky?â (Aina)
âIt will be different based on how you look at it.â (Lina)
ââŠYes, from our view, it was bad. âŠBut, it was good as adventurers.â (Sheila)
âThatâs true. When thinking about the future, it can be said that it will get easier, but⊠itâs already good enough from the start. Therefore, itâs not bad at all.â (Soma)
While saying so, Soma looked what was on the table.
Besides each otherâs cup, there were meals that could be called as feasts.
As for Somaâs group, it didnât really have the right quality, but given the location, it would be appropriate to call it so.
Soma actually wanted to say this earlier⊠that the ruin exploration was successful⊠and it was profitable.
When they came out from the hall, they immediately noticed that there was something wrong.
Although the hall could be reached when they had to turn right in the passageway earlier, what was in front of them at present was a passageway that turned to the right.
Basically, it was strange because the passageway didnât turned to the left.
But, when he thought that he needed to start all over again, it made him felt like he already got used to it.
It wasnât weird to think that the transition would happen even if they were in the hall.
One of the options was to wait for the transition to happen again, but by judging that there wasnât much time left to wait for the passageway to change to the left, they just turned to the right as it was.
And when they went ahead, they discovered another hall.
However, there was nothing there that Soma and Sheila hoped for. On the contrary, it was a success to find another hall as adventurers.
It was a place where things that could be called as treasures such as precious metals and jewels were present.
Soma didnât know whether to consider them as lucky or not because the treasures were discovered, but⊠there was no reason not to collect what they had found.
For the time being, they held the treasures without arranging it according to the value. However, they immediately did it after leaving the hall.
It was a familiar scene where the gate that led to the outside was present. They carefully advanced in order not to activate the trap again, but there was no particular sign of something to happen.
In that way, Somaâs group successfully and safely escaped.
That was the end of the ruin exploration. After that, they head toward the guild of Lumberg. They exchanged the treasures they brought back, and now, they were celebrating the achievement.
âWell, speaking of earning enough money in Yeasta, that much is already enoughâŠâ (Aina)
âWe donât need to buy anything in particular anyway.â (Lina)
âHmm, it isnât enough if we buy something luxurious, but ten gold coins are good enough on normal stuff.â (Soma)

Ten gold coins.
That was the amount of money Somaâs group got in Yeasta. It was earned from the monster they took where they killed it while on the way to that town.
If one didnât live in luxury, it was sufficient for a general household to last for three month with a single gold coin. Therefore, if he wanted to considered it as travel expenses, it already exceeded the necessary amount.
That was the reason why they didnât need to stay in Yeasta as adventurers.
Nonetheless, that monster was strong as it was, but since it was something they could easily defeat it, they were initially surprised with the price offered⊠Well, Doris should have no reason to pointlessly offer higher price, so it seemed the price was appropriate.
In the first place, an adventurer needs an income anyway.
Not to mention weapons and armor, potions and others were also necessary.
Together with such expenses, it was inevitable for the transaction amount was likely to become high since the price of monster materials was determined by the supply and demand.
As they listened to the talk, Somaâs group also bought potions and others, but as of now, they were not in the situation to use those items.
Even in the ruin earlier, they wasnât any problemâŠ
ââŠThat remind me, arenât you going to buy a sword, Soma?â (Sheila)
It seemed that Sheila had been thinking about it for some time.
Surely, they had earned enough money to buy a sword. Moreover, the sword that Soma used was a wooden sword.
However, Soma didnât plan to buy a new sword in particular.
âHmm⊠well, I donât have any problems with this. Besides, I made it myself, and it might be because Iâve been using it until now, I have grown a strange attachment to this sword.â (Soma)
In the previous life, he wouldnât say such a thing.
A sword was something people should treat even as their own half, so there was no reason not to use good ones.
However, Soma was already a swordsman and not a swordsman.
Although he used a sword, since he didnât walk on the path of the swords, he wasnât a swordsman in a right sense.
Hence, he decided to remain like this until the wooden sword broke or until he needed a new one.
âWell, as a matter of fact, thatâs really good enoughâŠâ (Aina)
âAs expected of Nii-sama!â (Lina)
By the way, this hadnât been mentioned until now. Actually, Aina was wearing a black robe and had a cane made of wood.
Even though it was made of wood, the material didnât come from nearby and it wasnât produced in a similar way like Soma. It seemed to be made by a skilled craftsman using quite good quality wood.
Together with the robe, those gifts were given by her parents when they knew Aina had talent in magic.
When she ran away, she took it along with her.
Speaking of running away, when Lina joined Soma and Aina, she was properly equipped.
Although it was light equipment, the breastplate was firm, the sword size was compatible with Aina, and it was a considerable sharp sword.
She secretly brought along the equipment which were given by Sofia. With all that, those two didnât need to buy any equipment in particular.
In a sense, the one needed the most was probably Soma.
He was barely equipped with any armor.
In the beginning, Doris told that it was ridiculous.
And yet, he wasnât equipped because it wasnât necessary to do so.
For starters, he seemed to be doing the same in the previous life.
It couldnât be helped since he already got used to it. Plus, he could easily cut off all attacks.
When he said that, even Aina and Lina showed an expression of this guy would say anything, but they reluctantly consented even though he practically displayed his abilities.
In any case, Somaâs group didnât really cost much as adventurers.
âBy the way, I think about this from a little while ago. It is surprising that everyone is not speak up.â (Soma)
ââŠ? What do you mean?â (Sheila)
âNo, I mean, if people look at us, they will see us as four children, right? Therefore, it is not strange to get involved. This place is also a common place for that to happen.â (Soma)
He turned around when he said that, what was there to say was a scene that could be said as squalid.
Anyway, there were muscular men everywhere, and they were eating meals and drinking.
Despite the appearance of women, many of them didnât differ much from men in terms of speech and conduct.
When considering the place, it was suitable, but it was certain that at least it wasnât a scene where an ordinary person would want to approach.
Radius Kingdom, Arvent Barony, Lumberg Adventurer Guild Branch, and here was the tavern setup.
After cashing the treasures in the guild, Somaâs group was in such a place because it was troublesome to go to other places. Moreover, there were a possibility of being said in various ways if they entered other shops.
For that reason, they ordered the feasts as it was, but from that time until now, they were not entangled with anyone even though they were observed by the surroundings.
It was honestly surprising because as far they had heard, the impression toward the adventurers was that they were crude people.
âSurely, it is strange to be told that.â (Lina)
âWell, when you look around again, it is something inevitable, isnât it?â (Aina)
âHmmâŠâ (Soma)
And then, Soma also looked at the surroundings again⊠and he also felt that the people were strangely taking a distance.
Or perhaps it should be said that they were looking at them while saying somethingâŠ
ââŠâWhite Devilâ? It seems that they are saying those words while looking at Sheila.â (Soma)
âShe certainly covered with white robe on the whole body, but⊠whatâs with the âDevilâ?â (Aina)
Rather than saying that, she was hiding her face with the robe.
However, it should be a reason to call her âDevilâ.
They thought that there must be a reason, and⊠apparently, Sheila seemed to know about it.
â⊠Maybe the cause is a meddling when I came here with Doris?â (Sheila)
âSo, what did you do?â (Lina)
ââŠNothing serious. âŠItâs just that I blew them away.â (Sheila)
Perhaps, it wasnât exactly like how she said it, but Soma understood her.
If that was the case, she wouldnât be called as âDevilâ if such a thing didnât happen.
Maybe, it happened in a considerable flashy situation.
And since Doris was also there, they could somehow imagine the situation.
Even if they couldnât see her face, they knew that Sheila was a child just by looking at her.
Did they call her âDevilâ because of that gap?
âHmm⊠if there was no trouble, you didnât have to do that right?â (Soma)
âYouâre right.â (Aina)
Since he thought about her promise of saying the real intention, he was also concerned if they got involved, but as he didnât want to do it without dragging Aina and Lina, he ought to think that it was all good.
AndâŠ
ââŠYou guys, over there. Can you give me a minute?â (??)
At that time, a voice called them out.
