Today, on the second day of the tenth month, a thin moon is floating in the sky.

 

Good evening everyone, this is Kent. I'm in the Devil's Forest now.

 

The reason why I am in the forest at night is to have special training.

 

Yesterday, I took a training course in combat techniques in the guild, and Donovan-san told me to attend the training on wind day of next week.

 

What's more, I was strictly ordered to clear the task of swinging a wooden sword.

 

What a cruel, unforgiving magistrate.

 

On my way home from the class, I saw Otto-san and asked if there was a way to avoid attending the clas, but the answer I got was hopeless.

 

"Ah, as expected of Donovan ... anyway it's a good thing ... ... thanks for your hard work."

 

"No, you don't think it really is good, right?"

 

No, Otto-san, don't look away!

 

"Hmm ... Donovan has a bad habit, and if there is a young person he likes, he feels like he has to train them properly."

 

"Well ... but I'm not good at casting magic, and as an adventurer ..."

 

"Well, you survived in the Devil's Forest even with a failure appraisal, so It's as expected."

 

"Ah ... can I just skip class ..."

 

"That's no good."

 

"Hey ..."

 

"Donovan is a central figure for the adventurers of this guild, so it's better to think that if you look at it in the opposite sense, it will be a lot harder to live."

 

Wow, isn't it the basis of your life?

 

"But what if I can't live up to his expectations ..."

 

"Oh, that depends on your efforts, do you understand that you can't cut corners?"

 

"Hmm ... it's already ..."

 

"Well, if you work with him, I'm sure you'll be stronger for free, so don't give up and try to struggle."

 

"Hah ..."

 

That's why I decided to take special training to clear the task of swinging, but when I brought back the wooden sword, I was caught by Amanda-san this time.

 

"Hey Kent, what's that, I said, no dungeon!"

 

"No, no, this is a self-defense training, and when I took the guild class, I was noticed by the instructor, Donovan-san ..."

 

"Hmm ... isn't it a lie?"

 

Amanda-san, who has a good sense, cornered me, and I was completely in the state of a trapped mouse, and when she glared at me, as if she could see right through me.

 

"Oh, that's true, because he's so strict that I'm in trouble."

 

"You don't feel like diving into the dungeon, right?"

 

"Of course, I won't do it."

 

"You're not thinking about going to the Devil's Forest, right?"

 

"That, ridiculous, I'm sorry but I don't want that scary feeling anymore."

 

"Yes, that's fine, but ... it's no good."

 

"Yes, yes, it's enough already."

 

Even though I said that, it's difficult to swing in the neighborhood of the boarding house, and after thinking about it, I came to the Devil's Forest using shadow movement.

 

Amanda-san isn't okay with it, so Basten-san stays in the room instead.

 

If Amanda-san comes, I will move back to the bed with shadow move.

 

"Well, what is this space? Reinhardt."

 

[ Buhahahaha, how is it? We have prepared a special training ground for Kent-sama. ]

 

I'm sure I must be in the Devil's Forest, but the trees have been cut down, the ground has been leveled, and the space of a baseball field has expanded.

 

Well, when I came here yesterday, there wasn't such a field, I wonder he made this while being replaced by Basten as my escort today.

 

"Hmm ... well, it's okay because no one will come anyway ..."

 

[ Then, Kent-sama, we'll start with swinging tonight! ]

 

I can't help but be scared of training with a vicious skeleton who doesn't seem to know the word "moderation", but I can't replace my stomach.

 

Going out of sight of Reinhardt is absolutely prohibited while being trained.

 

I think I don't need this kind of training because I'm a mage type.

 

[ Kent-sama, the step is shallow, stronger and sharper! ]

 

"Urya! Oh! That's it!"

 

Already, it's a mess, let's just do it.

 

After swinging, running toward the erected log, running, muscle training using the weight of a natural stone ... until the date changes, while sandwiching the self-healing stretch many times on the way, it really hurts my body is a mess.

 

After the training was over, I washed up in the river, returned to the boarding house, and fell into bed.

 

The moment I lay down, I fell asleep instantly, and I wonder if I could be kidnapped by an alien without realizing it, and even have a switch attached to my head.

 

In the morning, Reinhardt wakes me up and I make a strange voice while doing a self-healing stretch.

 

I think I slept for about three hours, but because of the light attribute magic I can manage to get rid of it if I eat well.

 

I wonder if it's really okay, there are no dangerous side effects.

 

"Kent, it's just a thought, but can't you get rid of that strange voice?"

 

"Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not sued to work yet, and when I wake up my body is full of pins and needles."

 

"Oh, is that right, because Meisa is absolutely sure she hears something strange ..."

 

Gikku-I don't think anyone could have seen it.

 

It's absolutely awkward to have three vicious skeletons.

 

"No, no ... I can't keep anything because I'm doing my best to live ... hahahahaha ..."

 

"Ah, that's not the case ... but if you bring in something weird, it's going out."

 

"wow, I know, it's okay."

 

I will have a good breakfast this morning and head to work.

 

No, really if I don't eat it, I'll fall down.

 

Today's job is trans-shipment work at the Garm potato warehouse, which is a three-day contract from yesterday.

 

Garm potatoes are like sweet potatoes and taros added together and divided by two, and the taste is like a sweet potato.

 

It is a potato found in a region far north of Volzard, and I'm told that it is used as a staple food because of its high yield.

 

It seems that this time is the second harvest time, and the old potatoes that had been piled up in the warehouse are being moved to the front and new potatoes are being loaded into the back.

 

It's already heavy physical labor.

 

Since it is a task to move the potatoes to the designated place, only force is used.

 

So, since the daily allowance is not so good, it's a very unpopular job.

 

Even so, for me now that I need to increase my physical strength, it's the perfect job, so I'll do my best from monrning till evening.

 

"Hey, Kent, let's finish it."

 

"Yes, and I'm carrying this much."

 

Everyone hired with me went up quickly when the time came, but if you carry about five more bags, the dolly will be cleared up, so let's do our best.

 

It's been a little over two weeks since I came to this world, and I haven't grown taller, but my body is completely different.

 

I was sickly around my abdomen, but my abdominal muscles are now cracked, and my arms, legs, shoulders, and so on have a lot of muscles.

 

Oh, but I'm sure I was a cheat magician, why am I joining the physical camp ... Huh?"

 

When the work is done, I will bathe in the well in the back and get the salary for today from my employer, Samiel-san, and go home.

 

That, isn't this quite a lot.

 

"Samiel-san, this is a lot, I was promised a daily allowance of 350 Helts, but I have 400 Helts."

 

"Good, good, Kent is working well, it's a bonus."

 

"But only I get a lot ..."

 

"What are you saying, it's still not much, and the other guys are messing around, and half of what Kent gets is fine."

 

"No, but ..."

 

"It's fine! Keep quiet, instead I'll ask you to come again tomorrow."

 

"Yes, thank you, excuse me."

 

Hyah-Igot a bonus-I went to the boarding house while skipping.

 

It's completely dark, and the city is lit with magical tools and lamps.

 

Thanks to that, the central street is bright, but the side roads are quite dark.

 

However, thanks to the darkness attribute magic, I can see at night, so I will not be worried about my feet.

 

That's why I've noticed that they are there for quite some time.

 

The trio that came out of the dark are the people who were working together with me at Samiel-san's.

 

"Yo Kent, are you going home now?"

 

"Yes, thank you!"

 

"Oh, you're fine even though you worked all day, you ..."

 

"No, I'm in a situation where I have to do my best ..."

 

"Well, that's right, let me give you a little help, because it'll be done soon ..."

 

I'm talking cattily, but he doesn't seem to have any intention of letting go by holding my arms from both sides.

 

Well, I don't need to think about the requirements, though.

 

I left the central street and entered the back alley, and was taken to the back alley again.

 

The destination is a dead end surrounded by buildings.

 

"You, it's annoying, you're an eyesore for working hard."

 

"No ... I'm getting money, so it's natural to work seriously, right?"

 

"Bah, can you work seriously with such a cheap daily allowance?"

 

"No ... I know from the beginning that the daily allowance is cheap, and if I don't like it, I'll do another job ..."

 

"Shut up! That kind of good kid act makes me sick! Well, tomorrow you should work like us, don't work like today! It won't be good!"

 

He's screaming and terrifying, but I'm not really scared because I have more opportunities to come in contact with the real thing like Reinhardt and Donovan-san.

 

"No ... what happens if I say this ..."

 

"It has been decided ... ..."

 

The man grinned and pulled the knife out of his pocket to show it off.

 

"If you say no, you'll just be a body that can't work for the time being ..."

 

"Huhhhhhhh, aren't I just a little kid?"

 

"Far from the moment, you may not be able to work for the rest of your life ..."

 

From my point of view, all three are old men, but when Funayama gets older, he may look like this.

 

"Hmm ... I just came to Volzard, I'm not very familiar with it, but sometimes monsters appear here, right?"

 

"Huh? What are you saying, there's no way a monster will appear inside the walls ..."

 

"Is that so? I heard that a skeleton appears in the dark ..."

 

While talking, I tapped the ground lightly with my toes.

 

"Huh? A skeleton? That kind of thing ..."

 

Reinhardt appeared behind me, as we had a telepathic conversation.

 

Thanks to my night vision, it looked good when the three people lost their words and turned pale.

 

"Ahhh ... uhhhhh!"

 

"Well, please help me!"

 

"It's a monster, a skeleton has come out!"

 

The three ran away toward the central street.

 

"Good work, thank you Reinhardt."

 

[ Kent-sama, I wish I had hung them up and threatened them so much that their soul could come out of their mouth ... ]

 

"No, if you do that, even though I might be a dark magician, this is enough."

 

[ Well, if Kent-sama says it's okay, it doesn't matter. ]

 

The direction in which the three escaped is somewhat noisy, so I will continue on the back alley and return to the boarding house.

 

I don't know anything, it's true.

 

"I'm home!"

 

"Ah, welcome back Kent, I'll send Meisa to call you after a break, so please wait!"

 

"Yes, I understand!"

 

Amanda-san's shop seems to be thriving tonight as well.

 

I called Amanda-san from the back door of the kitchen and returned to my room on the second floor.

 

It's time for the cafeteria to be crowded, so it's dinner time for a while longer.

 

When I sat down on the bed, my stomach rumbled loudly.

 

"Uuu ... I'm hungry."

 

On my way home from work, I was thinking about buying and eating at a food stall, but I missed out on eating because of the entanglement of the trio.

 

[ Kent-sama, should I buy something? ]

 

[ No, no, I'll be a little more patient, if Reinhardt is found, it's going to be a big fuss. ]

 

[ If that's the case, that's fine, but if you don't eat well, you won't be able to get fit. ]

 

[ That's right, but well, I'm good because I can use self-healing, but if an ordinary person has Donovan-san set his eyes on them, that would be hell. ]

 

[ Well, adventurers and knights, those who work hard must do their best to survive if they want to survive. ]

 

For Reinhardt, who probably trained his subordinates while he was alive, that's a matter of course, but it's difficult for a peace-blurred Japanese junior high school student to understand.

 

[ Even if I'm told I'm doing my best, I don't really see it ... ]

 

[ But Kent-sama is experiencing a dangerous situation after being attacked by a goblin. ]

 

[ Yeah, well, that's right, but I don't remember well except for being eaten by goblins and asking for help, and after that, I've been leaving it to everyone and I'm not fighting myself. ]

 

[ I see, ifyou say so, that's right. ]

 

It was all Reinhardt who got rid of many monsters while passing through the Devil's Forest.

 

All I did was help strengthen everyone.

 

[ I see everyone defeating monsters, but I haven't defeated them with my own hands, so when it comes to fighting with a sword, I feel like I can't do anything. ]

 

[ No, that's not true, you weren't afraid of the three of them earlier. ]

 

[ Today, I didn't feel desperate because they weren't really serious about it, or because they just intended to scare me from the beginning, I was cornered. ]

 

I was threatened by them showing off their knife, but I wasn't too scared because I didn't feel any danger from that knife.

 

[ Um, Kent-sama is calm, so if you can afford to observe the other person calmly, it's okay even if the other person is upset. ]

 

[ Hmm ... I wonder ... I'm pretty worried. ]

 

[ Kent-sama, the worst thing on the battlefield is when you lose your calm, if you lose your calm, you will make a mistake and it can lead to a worse situation. ]

 

[ I see, that's true, but I wonder if I can move when that happens ... ]

 

[ Kent-sama, in order to be able to move in a hurry, you avhe to train repeatedly until your body remembers so that you can react without thinking. ]

 

[ Well ... it's not something you can enjoy learning. ]

 

I don't know what level Donovan-san wants, but for the time being, it seems I have to continue this special training life.

 

It's funny, if you come to a different world and get cheat abilities, you should have a fluffy development with a cute girl next time, but why is it a hard event with a rugged old man?

 

As I'm about to cry, I can hear footsteps fluttering up the stairs.

 

"Kent! Kent! Supper!"

 

"Thank you, Meisa-chan."

 

With the door open, Meisa-chan is observing me.

 

"Well, what's wrong?"

 

"What does Kent always do in the room?"

 

"Why?"

 

"Because the room is always pitch black."

 

Giku--Yes, I forgot to turn on the light because I'm getting used to night.

 

"It just happened to happen, yes, I was tired just now, so I lay down a little."

 

"Hmm ... eh!"

 

"Buho! Also ... suddenly what?"

 

Meisa-chan suddenly punched me in the belly.

 

"Oh, it's getting harder ... but it's still ..."

 

"Even so, Meisa-chan, isn't it terrible?"

 

"That's why if you go to the dungeon, you'll die, because the person who was before you was harder but didn't come back, so you can't go."

 

"Uh ... I know, I won't go ..."

 

"How about ... Kent, something suspicious ..."

 

"Oh, I'm not suspicious, I don't know ..."

 

Hmmm, despite being a little kid, she seems to look at me with Amanda-san's eyes, you'll be surprised.

 

"You guys, if you don't come down quickly, you won't be able to eat!"

 

"Hey, I'm going now, you see, she got angry because of Kent ..."

 

"Well ... it's my fault? Wait a minute ..."

 

I also went down to the first floor, chasing Meisa-chan, who ran down the stairs quickly.

 

Today's supper is a stew of stewed pork guts and beans, with boiled garm potatoes.

 

"Look, Kent, eat up, because you have to eat to grow up."

 

"Yes, I will."

 

The stew uses a unique spice, and it doesn't smell like offal at all, it's stewed until it's soft and fluffy, and it's really delicious.

 

"Mom, Kent isn't there yet, so don't let him go to the dungeon."

 

"Gufu ... That's why I'm saying I won't go, because even today I've been carrying these potatoes and doing my best."

 

"Hey, if you are going to work in the garm potato warehouse, it will be unavoidable to make strange voices when you wake up."

 

"Ahh ... I'll be careful."

 

"Mom, Kent must have something weird, because the room is always pitch black."

 

"So, I'm not keeping anything, you can see everything in that room if you open the door, right?"

 

"But Kent is suspicious ..."

 

"Ahahaha, Meisa, even if you say suspicious, that's a tall order for Kent."

 

"that's right, hahahaha ..."

 

"Kuu ... Amanda-san, please change ..."

 

"Aiyo! Eat a lot ..."

 

"Kent has to grow up!"

 

"Yes ... ..."

 

They are basically good people, but somehow my treatment is terrible.

 

The rice is delicious, but it's very terrible for me.

 

It's funny, I didn't think cheat life was like this.
