…Here . You can have this . ’
‘Oh, thank you . ’
Several hours after the mushroom hunting .
I accepted the finished potion from the Dryad .
…It was an MP recovery potion that returned your MP to the state it was in 10 minutes ago .
Fighting a dragon would be much easier with this .
‘Are you sure that’s all you want? You can take more if you need . ’
The Dryad asked as she carried a slime who was storing a large number of recovery potions .
I answered her .
‘Yeah . I don’t think I would be able to use the other ones anyway . ’
Still, I ended up accepting what was considered 10 refills for a normal human .
I was originally going to let her take all of it, but she had made more than expected .
She said she could give me twice as much, but I didn’t need them .
I was only taking them as a backup, even if they weren’t very effective .
Perhaps I could pa.s.s them on to a friend one day .
After all, the Dryad’s potions were actually stronger than most medicine… It just seemed like nothing when you wanted to use something like h.e.l.lfire of Death .
And I would only run out of MP during a fight . There was no time to drink down several liters of the stuff . So it wasn’t too useful to me .
And as it was quite valuable, I thought the Dryad would make better use of it .
‘Thank you . I’ll keep it then . Let me know if you ever need any help . ’
‘Got it . I’ll contact you through the slimes if that happens . ’
And with that, we parted ways .
Now…I guess I could take it easy and wait for the scouts to return .
Several days later .
I heard that the scouts had returned with their report, and so I headed over to the guild .
“Here is your reward then . ”
“Thanks . ”
They found nothing wrong and so I was able to receive my reward .
I had only reported that the dragon had disappeared, and yet I received quite a sum .
…Now I would be able to leave the city .
In spite of everything, this place was actually quite comfortable to live in, and I wouldn’t have minded staying here and taking on quests… But waking up in another world is not something that happens to everyone, and so I wanted to go around and see more .
Besides, there was probably a safer and more comfortable place to make my permanent home .
I was quite sure that if I stayed here, the manager would start making strange requests .
I thought about this while looking at the quest board .
There was nothing that looked interesting to me .
…I left the guild when that was done and saw Tina and Lisa were also there .
They had come to accept a quest .
Yuji . Are you going to go on a quest today too?”
“No, I didn’t accept anything . I was just looking at the quest board after accepting my reward… But there was nothing interesting, and I’m thinking about going to a different town . ”
“Oh, you’re moving . That’s too bad, but Adventurers don’t like to stay in the same place for too long . …So where are you going?”
Tina asked when she heard that I was leaving .
Apparently, it was quite normal for Adventurers to move around .
However, a location…
“…I haven’t thought of that yet . Do you have any recommendations?”
“You were going to move without even thinking about a destination…”
“What about Rikardo? It’s not so far, and I think it would be very comfortable for an Adventurer . ”
Lisa said .
Rikardo, eh? I didn’t know anything about it, but Lisa seemed like a veteran . So, if she said it was comfortable for Adventurers, then I had high expectations .
But there was one thing I needed to ask first .
“Do strange things ever happen over there?”
“Strange?”
“Yeah . Like dragons suddenly appearing or B-Rank monsters entering a valley that was safe for 100 years . ”
Tina and Lisa heard this and…erupted into laughter .
“What’s so funny?”
“Everything . There’s no town anywhere where such a thing would be normal!”
“Exactly . It’s as if this town is doing a bargain sale on ‘Abnormal Activity’! This never happens!”
…I guess there was no worry about history repeating itself then .
That was a relief .
“Thank you . I’ve decided to make Rikardo my next destination . ”
And I would go as soon as possible .
…My only hope was that I would not get involved in another strange incident .
