Now I’ve got a new home I’m going to dive into the labyrinth again .

Since Patty had already declared she’d buy the furniture I’ve left her to it .

Jenny-san has been chosen this time it seems .

I told Jenny-san about my new home or [our secret base] as it now seems to be called . Whatever, it’s all good .

I’m joining Meg and Jean today . It’s our first meeting since we split up 4 days ago so we intend to plan our future .

While I was looking for a new home Jean and Meg had gone to the labyrinth as porters .

If this carries on there will be a difference between us as adventurers .

Saying that it’s not like I was playing all the time either .

Yesterday I developed new golems to expand my offensive options .

Do you know of a bird called the hummingbird?

It’s a small bird with a beautiful blue colouring weighing about 220g . They flap their wings anything from 55 to 80 times a second and can hover in the air .

My newest golems were made to imitate hummingbirds .

20cm in length and made from thin mithril plate which struck the best balance between strength and weight .

I used 3 G cla.s.s demon stones making 3 of the hummingbird type golem .

All 3 bodies can communicate with each other .

[Experience to next level] – (Cannot level up)

As you can see it’s a golem with an emphasis on mobility .

My design philosophy comes from a weapon called funnel which appears in a certain national robot anime . (TN . Don’t know my mecha at all so I had to look it up . It’s Gundam (scroll down to funnel) for those like me that don’t know . )

The funnel is a remotely operated weapon operated by the user’s thoughts . It is capable of high-speed manoeuvres and can attack from any direction .

My golems are really similar to funnels though they can move independently .

All I have to do is designate an enemy and the golems think and attack by themselves .

I chose to do it that way as I’m not a new type and there’s no way I’m skilful enough to operate multiple turrets at the same time .

As I’ve mentioned before, the amount of golems I can use is equal to 20 demon stones worth .

Gobu has 10, Bari, Banpero and Bola have 3 each so that’s 9 meaning I’ve used 19 demon stones in my golems .

Since I had 1 left

left I made Hikaru-kun golem . (TN . Hikaru means to s.h.i.+ne/be bright)

It’s a lantern that has grown hands and feet so it can walk along lighting my way so I don’t have to hold a lantern anymore .

Though its simple its very useful .

Hikaru-kun doesn’t have any weapons, instead, I equipped him with a flash function like cameras have . I made the flash much more intense than one in a camera though . It’s simple but in the dark labyrinth its useful to blind attackers .

I also modified my handguns by adding torches to them and turned 5 I rank demon stones into grenades by applying fire magic to them .

With this my offence is complete but my defence is lacking .

I wanted to make a small armoured car for security but the tunnels are narrow and it would be difficult to operate . Not to mention it would require an E rank demon stone to work .

It’s still in the future but I’d like to make myself some power armour eventually . (TN . FOR THE EMPEROR!)

“Oi, Ossan! Over here!”

When I got to the meeting place in the plaza, Jean was jumping up and down catching everyone’s attention .

The monkey is noisy as usual .

Ah, Meg’s. .h.i.t Jean with her mace handle .

“Jean, you should be ashamed . ”

“… . . Why!!”

“I see you 2 have become friends . ”

“Where? With who?”

You can see they are on good terms with each other as they bicker .

“h.e.l.lo Ippei-san . Did you find a house?”

“Hi Meg . I found a good place yesterday .

. I plan to move in 2 weeks . ”

“That’s good . Then do you have any issue with going to the labyrinth tomorrow?”

“None at all . I’m ready to go . ”

Jean becomes excited all of a sudden .

“All right! It’s finally time to activate our party . Until now all my earnings depended on my hard work as a porter!”

That’s right . Until now, no matter how hard you worked you would only get a fixed amount as a porter, however, when going in as a party you earn money for yourself .

Because it’s only the 1st floor the demon stones and materials are not very good but I can understand his feelings and the dream will grow .

“Let’s do it Jean . Let’s aim for the 10th level . ”

“Oh . Let’s do it!”

“I’m excited . Let’s have fun tomorrow . ”

We decided to hunt in the 5th ward for 2 nights and 3 days .

I’ve never been to the 5th ward but Jean and Meg have just returned from there .

I’ll trust in my companions .

There’s no water in the 1st and 5th wards but that’s not an issue with my life magic .

Of course, we will keep some water spare just in case .

We decided on 2000 rim per person to buy food, firewood, bandages etc .

I purchased an accounts book and intend to study up on accounting .

“I can’t do accounts . ”

“Let’s learn together . ”

“That’s right Jean, we’ll teach you . Do your best . ”

Jean can read and write so we will manage somehow .

While buying medical supplies

buying medical supplies I told the 2 of them about myself .

“Actually I’m also a pharmacist . I can create life potions so you don’t need to buy medicine . ”

“What?”

“Really?”

“Remember that potion I used the other day in the 6th ward? I made that . ”

“It was incredibly effective!”

“I’ve asked before but why does Ippei-san want to be an adventurer?…… . ”

“And another thing . I can use recovery magic as well so don’t hesitate to ask me if you get hurt . ”

“Wh!! I want to ask myself . Why are you working as an adventurer ossan?”

“Because I want to go on adventures . ”

Jean looked at me with a surprised face .

“… . I understand somehow . ”

Meg didn’t look satisfied with my answer but Jean seemed to understand .

With that statement, I had told these people most of my secrets .

It felt good to tell them as I was struggling keeping the secret from them .

The only thing I haven’t told them about is the body strengthening potion (x10) .

It doesn’t have much of an effect on someone like me with such low values but if someone with ability drinks it they would gain monster like strength .

When I let Patty have one is a prime example .

Its existence is almost unknown but its the kind of thing that could start wars if it starts being produced .

Only this will I keep a secret .

My contributions that I will spread around the world are the Beiappoi special and hair growth tonic both of which are fine .

ED medicine and a hair restorer won’t start wars .

………They shouldn’t right?
