After getting out of the shower and calming down a bit, we began a meeting to report on each otherâs current status and condition.
âfuu, I really feel refreshed. Having a personal bath really is the best.â
âI know right! I never could have guessed how much of difference having it would make to our day-to-day mood.â
âWhen we were in Realzard, maybe we should have switched out from [Shangri-la hotel] after all? I did occasionally go along with Chris to a nearby public bathhouse, but man that cost a pretty penny too.â
âHmâŠâŠ..Iâm donât know about that. It would have been impossible to get here without the life we had back then. I donât think we would have appreciated our current condition as much either to be honest.â
âThereâs certainly truth to that. When we were still living in the back streets, or when we were barely managing our day to day while hunting goblins; itâs because of the struggle we had experienced back then that made us constantly try and aim even further and get to this point.â
âThatâs trueâŠâŠ..well, enough talk about baths. Letâs talk about how our weeks went.â

Having enjoyed my bath after a long week, I unconsciously ended up talking about it in appreciation.
Returning back to the real topic, we began talking about our weeks.
âAs for our accomplishments for the week, we have report to make to Chris.â
âReport?â
âYeah, actuallyâââ
âI got promoted to Silver rank!â
Ralf sunk back as Esta announced so with a loud voice.
I see, so Esta has finally risen to Silver as well.
She hasnât failed a request yet, and had been constantly completing Designated requests so I did wonder if it was about time she made it.
âTo be honest, I thought you might get there while we still in Realzard but still, congratulations on finally getting promoted.â
âThank you very much, all of this thanks to Chris-sanâââ
âNo need to thank me. This is a result of your own hardworkâŠâŠâŠ.And what of Ralf?â
âHmm, itâll take a bit longer. A pretty big gap still exists between me and Esta because of the time I took during my rehab.â
âthat makes sense. Well, donât be hasty and continue finishing requests as always and youâll get there soon. Anything else to report?â
When I asked, both of them put their fingers on their chin and began pondering.
âŠâŠ..Well, what weâre doing here is not so different from how we were back in Realzard.
âThat Greath didnât pick any more fights with usâŠâŠ..yeah, I donât think we have anything else to report outside Estaâs promotion, do we?â
âitâs fine if you donât. Until Ralf gets promoted as well, Esta you will continue helping Ralf as always.â
âYes, understood!â
âThen, itâs your turn now Chris. What all did you accomplish in the past week?â
Well, Where do I even start.
Well, I should perhaps stick with chronological order otherwise it might be hard to keep up with everything so I began talking about my visit to Shantell first.
âBefore I went to the forest, I made friends with the Alchemist here.â
âBy that you mean, the store you showed interest in back then?â
âthatâs the one. Itâs run by a young alchemist woman, about the same age as ourselves. And I got some good potions from there as well.â
I took out the potions I bought from [Travelling Cat Store] and handed one each to both of them.
âHuh, is it different from the usual ones? Looks exactly the same though?â
âIt has a cooling effect mixed into it as well which helps in reducing irritation and inflammation by cooling the wound, or so I was told.â
âAmazing! Someone as young as us made a potion like this?â
âShe seemed pretty knowledgeable about areas surrounding Oxter as well, so Iâll introduce you two later on. Her personality is a bit annoying to be honest, but sheâs not a bad person at heart.â
âCanât wait to meet her! Maybe sheâll sell us things cheaper if we become good friends with her eh?â
âI donât know about that. She seemed to struggling with money these days so that might not happen.â

After taking about Shantell, I began talking about the Carlisle forest next.
âSo how did your trip to the forest go? Was it better than the one you used to go to?â
âI donât know if I could give a simple conclusion like that. The forest I used to go to was definitely a lot more peaceful which was nicer. It had a decent variety of poisonous plants and it was pretty easy to just devote yourself to gathering and harvesting them there.â
âAnd in comparison, howâs the one near Oxter then?â
âWell for one, the number of monster is crazy huge. But on the other hand, the variety of poisonous plants was much bigger here as well. I was able to find the ones I was looking for as well, and if everything goes well, I should be able to get pretty damn strong in this forest.â
Not just physical abilities, I could find one that could provide me a Skill as well.
There was a lot still unknown about the âThe apple of deathâ Ongneer but on the contrary, its potential seems incredible as well.
And so I explained all these things to both of them.
