Isekai Yururi Kikou - Raising Children While Being An Adventurer - WN Chapter 00-35 (Shinsori) (NovelEPUBs)
「I am terribly sorry!」
Who are you?
An unknown silver-haired youth is suddenly prostrating in front of me on the floor.
Around 20 years old…… I think he’s younger than me.
Because he’s facing the floor without flinching, I can’t see his face.
I don’t understand…… why? I think that he surely has a well-featured face.
The reason why he’s prostrating in front of me is unknown.
Because I have woken up in this unknown place just a several minutes ago.
That’s right.
Before I noticed, I already was in a room I don’t recognize.
A room surrounded by white walls from every direction.
The size is around 8 tatami, I think…… There are two white doors. There are no windows.
There are two leathered-covered sofas for two people facing each other.
A jet-black glass table is in between the sofas. Nothing else is here aside from that.
Uun…… because of the white walls, this room seems like a “typical” president’s office.
Maa, that does not matter, though.
Since I don’t recognize this place, is this a kidnapping?
I thought so at first, but I’m not restricted and above all, I think that the kidnapper is quite
a considerable person……
After wandering around the room aimlessly, I return my sight at the youth on the floor.
Un, he’s still lowering his head.
Is that it? You won’t do anything unless I say something thing?
I would already like the explanation.
Can’t be helped, let’s greet him first.
「Ah~ Umm, who are you and what do you want from me after bringing me here?」
When I spoke, the youth finally raised his head.
Un, as expected, he’s a terrible handsome young man.
A green eyes together with silver hair. A tall figure with facial features that would put
Hollywood stars to shame.
The clothes he is wearing are plain and white, but that makes him look rather attractive.
I can’t find any faults.
This goes past envy, it may be worth of respect.
While I’m on such topic, he was also staring back at me who is impolitely observing him.
…… He’s still sitting on the floor, though.
Because he was looking at me like that, I had to tell him 『Wait』 as I would command a
dog……
This, am I the bad guy? Am I getting misunderstood? I’m not a bad person, though!
He has been apologizing since the beginning, so I shouldn’t be at fault. Probably!
「…… How do you do? I’m Kayano Takumi」
「Thank you kindly for the politeness. My name is Sylphreel. Please, call my Syl」
「…………」
「…………」
Haa, he sighs and introduces himself while bowing.
He doesn’t do anything aside from that.
He properly answered me. Yosh, I can go ahead like this! Is what I though, but――。
――The conversation didn’t continue……
Why did it end with self-introductions?!
Where’s the follow-up? An explanation, please!
The one who knows the circumstances is you, Syl!
「…… Ah~――Syl-san, who are you, where am I and why am I here?」
「No need for honorifics. ――From Takumi-san’s standpoint, I’m a god. This place is
called a Holy sanctuary」
「………… Haa!?」
This youth is a god and this play is a sanctuary?
Is this a new scam?
「This is not a scam」
「!!」
Eh? Were my thoughts just read?
「No. Although I can read minds, I didn’t read that before」
「Then, how do you know!?」
「Somehow, I thought you wouldn’t believe so I intended to correct it」
Nonono! You have been like an abandoned puppy a while ago, why are you suddenly so
calm?
It’s strange no matter how much I think about it!?
But, I understand! I have understood that I will get only tired talking to this person in a
serious manner!
「……… Can you explain simply?」
「Ah, I’m sorry. I have killed you by mistake」
Too simple!!
Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children
While Being an Adventurer~ - Chapter 2
Chapter 2 – The explanation, please
Has it been approximately after an hour that we started walking again? Allen and Elena
started suddenly running.
「Eh? What!?」
What came into my sight was two children chasing after a huge boar three times the size
of them――I saw them charging at a Giant Boar.
「Allen! Elena!」
They run with all their power, but they doesn’t seem to be able to catch up. They are
obviously chasing after a monster.
I can’t shoot the monster with magic because the two are there.
What should I do!? While thinking so――
Allen and Elena vigorously run towards one of the Giant Boars without stopping and give
it a flying kick.
The Giant Boar they kicked screams『Buhi』and gets blown off backward.
Once they kick it, they jump up right after landing and give an axe kick to the Wild Boars
neck.
The Giant Boar goes doshin and collapses.
「………」
So strong! What are these five-year-olds!!
These children certainly are level 12, but… Eh, is this normal!? A common sense of
children of this world?
That can’t be true. Normal children would die.
While I unconsciously stopped running because of the shock and stood in place
absentmindedly, Allen and Elena returned to my place as if nothing happened.
「「………」」
「…… Haa――― You two… you knew there was a Giant Boar so you started
running?」
Two two children nod at my deep sigh.
They seem to understand.
「Would you tell me next time you found something before you start running?」
The two children nod again.
Don’t they have any sense of danger…? It’s a great achievement that these two young
children survived like this until now, but if they keep on running away each time a
monster appears, I will be in a bind.
I’m taking care of the children, letting them protect me would be foolish.
After confirming the two aren’t injured I lightly pat their heads, then I face the defeated
Giant Boar.
They probably don’t know that monster meat can be eaten. Allen and Elena are ignoring
the downed monster.
They don’t have a knife to dismantle it, nor they are able to build fire to cook it, so it may
not have any significance for these two.
I collect the Giant Boar while the two look at me with “What are you going to do with
that?” expressions.
First of all, let’s store it inside my《Infinite Sotrage》. If I can sell this in the town, I will
purchase supplies for these two.
After deciding, I beckon the two children and walk towards outside of the forest.
After that.
Following Giant Boar the three of us encountered the Bloody Bear, Red Wolf x2, Great
Monkey x2.
Each time, when Allen and Elena noticed a monster, they would pull on my clothes or
arms to let me know.
However! Right after letting me know, they would immediately run off and start chasing
monsters bigger than me.
Not knowing what to do with them, I checked for injuries then patted their heads. The two
children close their eyes and smile in comfort while I pat them.
Are? Doesn’t this mean I’m praising them?
That’s why the two run off chasing after monsters…?
I thought that my real intentions didn’t transmit, but I couldn’t stop myself from patting
Allen’s and Elena’s heads.
Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children
While Being an Adventurer~ - Chapter 5
CHAPTER 5 – THE FIRST CAMPING
(I thought it was strange. The starting location being A rank『Gaya Forest』, after all. No
matter how you look at it, you would normally start at such impossible place! But, I was
able to leave the forest before encountering a strong monster. Besides, it’s strange for
children to be in such a place! Moreover, they are “Human?” you know? At first I thought,
there’s a race like that in this world~ but, when I arrived at the town and appraised the
people there, everyone was a normal human, demihuman, and suchmon. I was fully
suspecting you, Syl. So, what’s going on?)
(Uu~)
(Don’t cry and start explaining. It’s not like I will get angry or anything)
Syl bursts into tears while prostrating.
Nono, you are a god, right? First… no, first is Malianor-sama so you are the second most
important person, right? Why are you so brittle?
(Go on)
(It can’t be said from my mouth……)
(…………)
When I urge the sobbing Syl to explain, he lets out some unexpected words.
What? “Can’t say”…… moreover, Syl said, “from my”…
N~…
Is he forbidden to speak?
From whom?
No… if that’s the case, wouldn’t that be strange?
If he imprudently spills it out, would he get in trouble…?
An existence that can forbid Syl, a god from speaking, I can think only of those four.
(Say, Syl. Wind God, Fire God, Water God, Earth God, do you share nonaggression,
territory or such things…between each other?)
(……… We do)
I see. They do……
That means, there’s another god who has a relation with Allen and Elena?
I don’t think it’s Malianor-sama. Then, it’s someone between Fire, Water, and Earth…
(It’s just, those children are no ordinary children, leaving them would be dangerous…… I
can tell you only that)
(I understand. I won’t ask anymore. Just… am I all right?)
(Takumi-san has become a part of my family, but it doesn’t change the fact that you will
be living on Aetherdia like a normal human so… There’s just no control restriction, so
there’s no limit to what you can do)
(Is there no problem with you assisting me?)
(Yes. It doesn’t change that Takumi-san is my family and since you have received a
blessing from Malianor-sama it’s only natural to offer assistance)
(So, in the end, we are using a loophole……)
Allen and Elena are related to a god. Moreover, not just followers, something more
important.
It’s just my conjecture since I can’t get more details, though.
…… At any rate――
(……… Wasn’t my existence godsend?)
(… You are angry…… right?)
(Speaking honestly, if only you told me right away instead of stealthily scheming…… is
what I’m thinking)
(I’m really sorry……)
(It’s okay already. It’s okay to rely on you when I encounter trouble, right?)
(Yes! I don’t mind no matter how trivial it is. Please, contact me anytime!)
(I understand. I will be relying on you at that time. Laters)
The conversation with Syl was forcibly ended in the middle.
Syl himself is hopeless, I can understand his reasoning, but I was used, after all, I couldn’t
erase my negative emotions.
However, I’m definitely not angry nor disappointed.
My new heart just probably didn’t settle properly yet. I think there won’t be any problems
if I give it a while. Once it’s settled, I will contact Syl again and make many demands.
That will make the offset.

A good amount of information is written on the card.
Ah, I’m glad. It says I’m an ordinary Human.
There are 5 “*” main entries are obligatory to display, therefore, it, fortunately, doesn’t
display the family. I feel relieved because the other information is optional and can be
hidden. With this, only those with permission will be able to see my details.
There’s a possibility that Guild staff would need to read it, but it should be all right if I just
conceal the necessary details.
After that, Allen and Elena drip their blood on the cards and I don’t forget to alter their
settings.
「There’s a fee for reissue, so please be careful of losing it. Would you like to hear the
explanation about the guild?」
There’s no fee to register as an adventurer, but it seems it costs 2,000G (2 Large Silver
Coins) for reissue the card if lost.
I have the knowledge about the rules of the guild, but because it would be troublesome if
there is some discrepancy, I request for the explanation.『Well then』 Miss receptionist
bowed and began the explanation.
First, the explanation about the ranks.
The ranks begin at F, and raising to E, D, C, B, A and S.
Rule of a thumb of the ranks――
F Rank – Newcomer
E Rank – Fledgling
D Rank – Full-fledged
C Rank – Skilled
B Rank – Superior
A Rank – Superior+α
S Rank – Hero
When I wake up in the morning, Allen and Elena were already up. They are clinging on
both of my sides staring at my face fixedly.
This has become a habit since our first camping in the forest.
「…… Morning」
「「……Mor… ning…」」
「!!」
They greeted me!! Allen and Elena spoke!
What adorable voices!
I who was greatly impressed hugged the two children reflectively.
◇◇◇
After having my fill of embracing the two, I finished preparations and we went to the
guild.
It’s full of people, unlike yesterday. I go towards the low-rank Request Board while Allen
and Elena are tightly sticking to me in order to not get separated.
A low-rank male and female adventurers around my age are gazing at the board.
A great number of Requests are closely packed together on the board.
There are three main types of Requests.
Gathering Request――A gathering job of a specific herbs or monster material.
Subjugation Request――A job to defeat a designated monster. After defeating it, a part of
its body is necessary as a subjugation proof.
Escort Request――A job to escort a person/item from a town to a town or protect them in
a specific location.
There are little to nothing Escort Requests for low-rankers. So I will be choosing between
gathering and subjugation.
N~ what should I pick…… Would taking a gathering herbs request at first be better? With
that, Allen and Elena can go with me…
Thinking that, I pick one of the Requests and stand in the queue at the counter.
「The next person」
「Thank you」
My turn finally came.
The receptionist behind the counter is the same that took care of us yesterday, Luna-san.
「Ara, Takumi-san. Good morning. A Request?」
「Good morning. This is the Request, please」
「Excuse me…… A gathering of Lilie Grass, I see. Your Guild Card, please」
I hand the Request I picked to Luna-san after light greetings.
Luna-san confirmed the contents of the Request, received my Guild Card and quickly
operated the crystal.
「10 Lilie Grasses is considered a batch so please be careful. The time limit is until three
days later」
Luna-san explains the important points of the Request.
「Thank you very much」
While saying my thanks, I received back my Guild Card and we leave the Guild.
We go towards the south gate at once.
There is a small forest in the south of Shirin. There are no monsters aside from E, F Rank
slimes, and wolves. It’s a relatively safe area so it’s just the right place for newcomers and
unskilled adventurers.
「Allen, Elena. This is the Lilie Grass」
After getting to the forest, I immediately find the Lilie Grass and show it to children. It has
a dark green stalk with several jagged maple-like leaves.
The Lilie roots aren’t necessary so I cut the stalk and pick it up without the roots.
「If you find it, gather it like this. Understood?」
After Allen and Elena nod, they start searching the area for Lilie Grass at once.
They found it immediately. They timidly hold it in their tiny hands and trot over to me.
They uneasily look at me while holding out the Lilie Grass to me.
「It’s all right, this is the one. You did great~」
I pat the two children’s heads and receive the Lilie Grass while praising them.
Happy for being praised, kya, kya they make a merry and run off looking for another Lilie
Grass.
I’m glad. It seems that their emotions and voices are returning little by little.
I feel relieved that they are growing in the right direction.
Now then, I should also start looking around~
I found the plant right after I began the search.
Oh, Cren Grass and Maryoku Grass are also there. There was a request for that too if I’m
not mistaken. Let’s gather that too. Even if the Request won’t be there anymore, I can just
store it in the《Infinite Storage》for the time being.
Thinking that, I gather one plant after another.
Along the way, Allen and Elena learned the characteristics of the various plants I was
picking and also started looking for them.
Our gathering in the forest continues until the noon and the prepared jute bag was full of
gathered herbs.
We gathered a sufficient amount.
「Allen, Elena. Let’s stop for today」
When I call the two, they trot over to me with hands full of herbs.
「You both gathered so much~ Amazing~」
When I praise them after receiving the plants, the two children make joyful expressions.
So cute~ The two laughed a lot today.
「Yosh, let’s return to town after eating a meal」
We left the forest, sat in the middle of a meadow with a great scenery, and returned to the
town after eating the food I bought at the stall in the town.
◇◇◇
When we return to the Guild, I go straight to the Request Board and look for Requests
with other herbs.
Umm… Cren Grass, Maryoku Grass, oh, Fenze Grass is also there.
I pick the Requests after comparing the gathered plants with the Requests. I have many
plants that are insufficient numbers so I decide to store them in《Infinite Storage》and go
to the counter.
「Welcome back」
The one who greeted me at the counter was Luna-san again.
「We have returned. These Requests in addition to the Request we have received this
morning」
「I will confirm. Put the materials in this basket please」
After exchanging greetings, I put the Guild Card together with the new Requests on the
counter. Luna-san received them and took out a basket.
I place the herbs into that basket. Because all kinds of herbs were in the 10 Requests I
picked, I line them up while counting.
「… Y, you have quite a lot. It’s quite difficult to gather this much in half a day…」
「It’s because the children did their best」
The herbs turned into a heap because the basket is unexpectedly small.
Luna-san was a slightly surprised at the amount of herbs I took out, but she promptly
started checking the herbs.
「This is this time’s reward」
Once the confirmation of the herbs is done, the reward money is presented. I confirm the
amount of money at the counter and put them into a bag.
And when I think of returning――
「Why are brats in here!」
A large, bald adventurer comes over while shouting.

「Rather than that, Takumi-san! You went into the Gaya Forest?」
「Eh?」
「What’s going on!!」
「… Yes. There were medicinal plants I needed」
What an amazingly angry look……
Gaya Forest…… was there such settings?
「Is the reason you asked about the materials at hand when you came first to the Guild
possibly…」
Ah, she noticed. Luna-san, you remember it…
「Do you have them?」
「………」
What to do?
Luna-san is staring at me with a great vigor. No…… no those are eyes looking at a
prey……
「You have them, right? …… Right?」
「…… Yes」
Chills ran through my back for some reason.
In the end, I was completely defeated by Luna-san’s insight.
Therefore, I decided to sell the materials I obtained in Gaya Forest.
As expected, because a number of days passed since then, I keep silent about the materials
in the《Infinite Storage》and decided to sell only the one processed Red Wolf’s magic
stone, fur, claws, fangs, and medicinal plants and fruits.
There wasn’t much, but Guild staff including Luna-san were overjoyed.
There are many calm zones in the outskirts of Shirin except Gaya Forest. The security is
tight, the flow of people is high because the town is near the borders, but there doesn’t
seem to be many veteran adventurers.
There are only a few adventurers who recently went to Gaya Forest so the stock of
advanced materials significally decreased, Luna-san earnestly explained.
「Which reminds me, Wald-sama. Didn’t you come to talk with Guild Master?」
「Yeah, regarding an expedition. We periodically go to the Gaya Forest to thin out the
monsters. If left alone, the monsters would start pouring out which would be really
troubling」
「Is it a joint expedition of knights and high ranked adventures?」
「Yeah. The number of people I can take is limited because I can’t take everyone along. If
I don’t go into the depths, I won’t have enough people」
「It’s an A Rank forest, after all~」
「Because of that, Takumi. You are participating」
Haa? What are you talking about?
「Nono, I’m an F Rank, you know!?」
「If you are able to go alone and defeat a Red Wolf there are no problems, right?」
「………」
Crap, I made a mistake. I shouldn’t take out the Red Wolf materials!
「Oh, it looks that Guild Master is free now. I will make an official request later, don’t run
away」
「Wa, wait!」
Saying just that, Wald-sama walks into the Guild Master’s office.
「……… I can reject a designated request, right?」
I ask Luna-san after a while of silence.
「It’s not impossible. But, when it comes to official request from the Knights, it becomes
a request of the country so……」
Why did your voice become cloudy at the end!? Please confirm that I can decline!
Why did it become like this? Where did I make a mistake?
Where? I did take out the Red Wolf materials, right……
Uwaa, it’s my fault! Aah, mou…
「Anyway, I’m going home for today……」
「Yes, thank you for your hard work」
「Allen, Elena. We are leaving~」
I lift the two who are still uneasy and leave towards the inn.
◆◆◆
◆◆◆
Few days after Allen and Elena KO’ed the bald adventurer.
At present, we do Requests for two days and take one day off. I’m taking on Requests like
this in order to not burden the children’s bodies. We were able to steadily raise our ranks
to E.

=====
We defeat monsters on the side while doing Gathering Requests, my level slightly rose,
my skills and skill proficiencies increased slightly.
I even obtained a【Savior】title.
Did I receive it only by being together with Allen and Elena?
I don’t know what the standards are, but obtaining titles is not as surprising as meeting
with a god, therefore I decided to leave it be for the time being.
◇◇◇
◇◇◇
There was still some time until sunset when we arrived at the dungeon.
The plan was to arrive in the evening, stay overnight and go to the dungeon the next day.
This happened because Allen and Elena walked better than I expected. Their pace was fast
with small steps.
There’s no need to hurry that much, I told them, but the two didn’t lower their pace. In
addition, their stamina is better than that of an ordinary adult so we have arrived earlier.
Now then, what should we do?
The fourth dungeon “The Dungeon of Earth”.
A 15-floor underground dungeon with an earth attribute. A dungeon with relatively high
capture rate.
The entrance to the dungeon is hollowed in a two-story large rock.
From there, a sloping road spreads out. It’s wide enough to fit three adult men. The depths
are not fully visible.
Spend a night here as planned or to enter the dungeon nearly……
「In」
「Go~」
While considering what to do, Allen and Elena exclaim.
「Is it really okay? Are you not tired?」
「「Is al~right」」
Since the two say they are okay, I decided to go inside. I will only watch their condition
properly and take a break before they get fatigued.
I illuminate the surroundings with《Light》before descending. I can keep on
the《Light》for one hour before having to cast it again. As it can only illuminate the
surroundings in 1m radius, I locked hands with Allan and Elena and started walking.
「Looks like a normal tunnel, huh」
There is a hall further down. A hall that looks like a tunnel in a large mine.
The walls and floor are made from earth, but it seems to be very sturdy as it’s not easily
damaged. In addition, it’s wide enough to swing a sword in all directions. The route in the
distance seems to be complicated as a maze, though.
The first straight path comes to an end quickly. It splits into two passages.
Allen and Elena restlessly look at the passages.
Speaking of mazes, walking along one side of the wall will bring us to an exit (the
previous path in this situation) without problems… what to do?
The Guild is selling the dungeon map, but it’s only accurate up to the fifth floor so I didn’t
purchase it.
Ah, which reminds me, wasn’t there a map function in the menu?
I open the window screen at once.
N~ there’s no map while inside a dungeon. There’s auto mapping function instead. It
displays only the way we went.
But, with this, we won’t lose our way no matter which road we go and we will be able to
easily return back.
If that’s the case… let’s let the children choose the way.
「Allen, Elena. Which way do you want to go?」
「「? …… That way~」」
They point in the same direction at the same time.
Then, let’s go that way first!
Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children
While Being an Adventurer~ - Chapter 13
CHAPTER 13 – DUNGEON OF EARTH・CAPTURE 1
Proceeding in the directions Allen and Elena have picked, we quickly found stairs leading
below.
Looking at the map, this is possibly the shortest way.
In addition, the two children’s opinion which way to take didn’t differ even once. They are
demonstrating the twin power to its fullest.
Beshi.
Dokan.
Zuruzuru…
Batain.
Allen’s and Elena’s exploding kicks.
It gets blown off and crashes into the wall.
It slides to the ground just like that.
It ceased to breathe.
How many times did I see the exact same scene…
Un. There’s no enemy! Hahaha.
Because the monsters in the Low Class dungeon aren’t that strong, I let Allen and Elena
deal with them as they see fit.
Thereupon, all Slimes, Ground Moles, Ground Spiders (Indeed, this being “Dungeon of
Earth” the monsters that appear are mainly that of earth attribute) who appeared ……
were defeated one by one.
For now, I let the kids run wild, but such training in the future, would it still be okay?
Being strong is not a bad thing. Especially in this world where the average lifespan is
shorter than on Earth.
They are still small, so it’s okay, right? In Japan, they would be in pre-schoolers. Pre-
schoolers should be playing vigorously, right?
Once they grow up a little more, I will start teaching them, or let them attend school!
Everything would be all right then!
We have arrived at the 5th floor without an accident; there is a small room, so I decided to
call it a day and camp there.
First, I clean their bodies with《Washing》. They are not that dirty, but keeping hygiene
is good.
Next is the dinner preparation.
I take out portable stove magic tool. Maa~ it’s similar to a tabletop electric cooking
device. Although it’s not running on electricity, but on fire magic stones. I have found this
magic tool while walking around the town. This was the only magic tool for a reasonable
price. But, even if the price weren’t reasonable, I would buy it on the spot because of the
convenience.
I put a pot with soup on top of the magic tool and warm it up.
I asked the『Komadori Pavilion』boss if he could cook something for me and this is it.
It’s soup with a tomato base, lots of meat and various vegetables.
The sweetness and acidity are refreshing.
Then, I made a potato salad with a fresh bread I bought back in the town. Unfortunately,
they didn’t have a square bread, therefore I had to use a round one.
Un, seems good! Well then, itadakimasu.
After eating the dinner, it’s preparations to sleep.
That being said, my sleeping posture is leaning on the wall while sitting wrapped in a
blanket with two children clinging to my sides. The same as in Gaya Forest.
Normally, it would be necessary to set up a barrier with Barrier Stones. It’s a defensive
measure against both monsters and humans. Bandits for example. Also, I’m afraid to say
that nasty adventurers also exist. They would attack an unwatched place and steal all your
belongings.
But, I’m the only one of us who can stand a watch. I have a feeling that my body would be
able to go on without sleep for a few days, but I have no intention of trying it out.
It’s all right. We will definitely wake up when a person with ill intent approaches us.
That being said, good night.
Beshi.
Dokan.
Zuruzuru…
Batain.
Ah, a wolf flew again.
The enemies are still lacking. We keep on advancing at steady pace.
◇◇◇
The capturing proceeds and we are currently on the 8th floor. We have captured half of the
dungeon.
The quality of the monsters increased a little. An insect monster with a hard shell that
Allen and Elena can’t defeat in one hit has started appearing.
The kids have a bad affinity with insect monsters, unlike the usual animal type. Although
they won’t get defeated, they will hurt their bodies by hitting that hard shell over and over
again, so I decided to take care of the insects myself.
In addition, the monsters have stopped appearing alone and started attacking in groups.
From small groups of 2~3 up to a big group of around 10.
We don’t have any problems, but the first obstacle for the young adventurers is most likely
this 8th floor.
While advancing――
「Uwa――――!!」
A cry echoes from ahead.
「Please run a~way!!」
The desperate cry was from a party of adventurers. A party of young men and women in
their teens.
A group of monsters is chasing the party. Wolves, Horn Rabbits and Slicer Bats, tens of
various monsters in a group.
「Wa, hey! What are you doing!?」
A young adventurer stops right after passing us and shouts at us in panic.
“I want to escape quickly” and “We should have left it alone” emotions were transmitted
to me from his expression.
「《Wind Cutter》」
When all people in my field of vision disappear, and all in front of me are monsters, I cast
wind magic while emphasizing the magic power behind it.
Several wind blades pour on the monsters who changed the target on us.
Un, most of them got defeated.
However, a monster slips from within the cloud of dust. But, at that moment, Allen and
Elena charge towards the monster and drive a kick into its body without reserve.
「Eeeeeeeeh―――!!」
The young adventurers who witnessed that shout in disbelief.
Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children
While Being an Adventurer~ - Chapter 14
「「Picked up~」」
Allen and Elena collect drop items and run up to me with their small hands full.
They seem to properly remember what I was doing in the seven floors until now.
「Thank you. Are you unhurt?」
I receive the items and pat the two children’s head who nod.
「Oniichan will go and have a talk with these people, can you two go and pick up more in
the meantime?」
「「Un!」」
There are still many drop items the two weren’t able to carry so when I request them to
pick them up, the two energetically answer me. They look overjoyed. To think they would
be so happy just because of my request, these children are seriously cute! I pass a jute bag
to the kids, tell them to put the items in that and send them off.
Then, I turn around and look back at the boys and girls adventurers who were escaping.
「Now then, have you activated a trap?」
「We are terribly sorry!」
They are not prostrating as Syl normally does, but the boys and girls are bowing down
enough that their body height halved.
They seem to understand correctly.
The adventurers have unspoken rules.
To explain it simply――
・The monster priority goes to the party/adventurer who attacked it first.
・Drop item belongs to the one who defeats the monster. However, if he leaves it without
picking it up, it’s considered as abandoned and other adventurers can pick it up without a
complaint.
・Interfering is prohibited unless asked for help.
These are the unspoken rules.
In addition to these, there’s one more important thing. Only this one unlike other is
considered a crime.
That is――
・Monster scapegoating act.
We have advanced smoothly through 8~10 floors with few short breaks.
The number of people coming in and out on these floors steadily decreased, and the
hidden rooms and treasure chest we discovered are scarce.
The contents of the treasure chests were Low-grade Stamina and Mana potions. Stamina
potion is a magic potion that replenishes stamina while Mana potion is used by mages to
recover magical power. They are the game’s standard items.
They come in Low grade, Medium grade, High grade and Special grade, the quality and
amount of recovery increases the higher the grade is.
The ones we obtained are of Low Grade so their recovery power isn’t that great. But,
magic potions itself are expensive goods and are precious drops for adventurers in this
dungeon.
「「That way~」」
I’m afraid to say that I have come all the way here without being tired or feeling a loss of
magic power, though…
Maa~ there might be a time where they will be useful so let’s set them aside without
selling them.
Speaking of magic potions, a magic potion that cures diseases and wounds, a Healing
potion also exists on Aetherdia. In addition to drinking, it can also be apparently used
directly on the wound. Furthermore, potions used for detoxifications and potions that
temporarily increase physical strength also exist.
There also is a secret medicine among the Healing potions. Maa, you won’t be able to see
one easily, though. The secret medicine can heal any incurable diseases and apparently
even restore lost limbs. I’d rather connect the torn off arm than grow a new one……
N~ I want to see it, I don’t want to see it… a complicated feeling.
The items in my possessions are generic drugs like medicine for cold and stomach
medicine, but I don’t have any Healing potions. I think there won’t be any problems since
I have a Healing magic, but I would like to get my hands on one just in case.
「「Here~」」
Oh! The two children found stairs leading to the next floor.
The moment we descended on the 11th floor, a Wild Ape has leaped towards us.
「Kiiiiiーー!」
Wild Ape is an orangutan-like monster.
Despite the sudden attack, Allen and Elena pour kicks on the Wild Ape straight away.
The Wild Ape crashes into a wall. The Wild Ape who was suddenly flug against a wall in
counterattack looks dumbfounded.
Allen and Elena pursuit that momentary opening. The defenseless Wild Ape ceased to
breathe under the twins’ kicks.
It’s neck evidently snapped……
The Wild Ape’s corpse disappears and leaves behind a drop item. It’s Wild Ape’s fur. It’s a
good thing for a Low Class dungeon. But, this much is not enough to make equipment of
it. Let’s deposit it in《Infinite Storage》for now.
Still, the perception and hand-to-hand combat sense of the twins is terrific.
They advance without getting lost and can discover monsters quickly.
Even though no one taught them, even I who know close to nothing about Martial Arts can
understand their splendid movements. They are most likely moving on instinct.
I’m genuinely happy that some influential person does not shelter these two.
The thing Syl might have been worried is this.
However, I have a certain feeling that I’m also taking advantage of them, but is that all
right……
「「Kita~」」
Allen and Elena discovered another monster. A snake monster, Clay Snake has appeared.
「Oh, wait a moment!」
I stop Allen and Elena who were going to leap at the enemy.
The two obediently stop moving and fixedly stare at my face.
「That thing has a poison in its fangs, let me take care of it」
That’s right, the Clay Snake has a minuscule amount of poison in its fangs. Similarly to
the Poison Spider from before, it’s a monster I want the bare handed children to avoid
fighting with.
When the two nod in affirmation, I shoot out the《Wind Cutter》.
Of course, it was an instant kill. The dropped item is Clay Snake’s skin.
As soon as I pick it up, another monster appears. Three Giant Bees, honey bees the size of
an adult.
「Be careful of the stinger」
「「Wa~i」」
When I remind the children to be careful, they cheerfully reply.
Un. Although it was only one word, the two’s vocabulary steadily increasing. It’s a good
thing.
The Giant Bee is a monster with considerably nimble movements. They take full
advantage of their aerial movements to attack Allen and Elena. Allen and Elena smoothly
dodge that and counterattack. However, the Giant Bees retreat to the air where the two
can’t reach.
Allen and Elena who have unusually hard time turn in pursuit of the Giant Bees.
Un. It’s a game of tag no matter how I look.
I intend to help as soon as it becomes dangerous, but how can I destroy the spectacle of
the twins having fun?
Oh! They have been chasing it individually at first, but the two now move in a pincer
attack.
Elena chances while Allen sneaks around to the Giant Bee’s destination. They safely
brought it down the first one.
Cooperation is the twin’s field of expertise. They can determine their roles just with an eye
contact.
They knock down the second one immediately. N? …… I feel like they didn’t make an
eye contact.
These two, are they actually using telepathy to communicate? The cooperation was so
splendid it forced me think that.
「「Defeated~」」
Allen and Elena had a hard time dealing with the bees at first, but in the end, it took them
less than ten minutes to deal with the three bees. They pick up the bee’s drop items and
trot over to me.
「You worked hard」
I receive the drop items while praising and patting the twins’ heads. The dropped items are
1 Bee Stinger and 2 jars of Honey.
Oh, it’s honey! A very precious item on Aetherdia which lacks sweetness.
Of course, the sugar is also being sold, but its slightly higher in price. The price for one kg
is around several thousand yen. It’s around ten times more expensive than in Japan?
It’s enough to be called a luxury for a commoner. You would be able to stay a night at an
inn with two meals at that price.
Because I have an absolutely higher income than I have had in Japan, I can buy anything
if I say so myself.
However, I shouldn’t do that. I’m hesitant about buying it. The quality isn’t that good.
Therefore, I can’t help, but keep on thinking about getting a normal honey……
Moreover, the honey inside the jars have a beautiful golden color and look incredibly
delicious.
Un, if we meet more Giant Bees, let’s take an aggressive stance against them!
We encountered Giant Bees immediately even without searching. Despite there being five
of them this time, Allen and Elena defeated them right away.
Isn’t their learning ability amazing? I thought that, but since there’s nothing wrong about
it, I decided to leave it alone.
The drop items are 1 Giant Bee’s Wing, 2 Stingers and 2 Jars of Honey.
Doing well, so smooth!
Nevertheless…… is there a problem that the twins defeated 70% of the encountered
monsters……? The monsters I defeated are only poison monsters and hard-shelled insects,
and I also acted when we encountered big groups. Allen and Elena dealt with everything
else.
If I had to say, the two are advancing while fighting. But, they seem to be having fun, so I
let them dealt with it unless it gets dangerous.
However, if other people saw it, won’t they say that I’m working the children too much?
Because I’m just watching from behind while the two children fight.
Shouldn’t I be more responsible as a guardian? It’s not like I’m forcing them to do it, so
it’s okay, right?
「「Found it~」」
The two found the stairs to the next floor. Do I rely on them too much?
Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children
While Being an Adventurer~ - Chapter 16
Good morning.
Today is the third day since we entered the dungeon.
We have crisply advanced through the 12th floor yesterday and were able to find the stairs
to the 13th in the evening. I have decided to stay the night before proceeding further.
Therefore, we are currently staying at the entrance to the 13th floor.
The plan was to head back to the town in three days, but I think we can capture the
dungeon today or tomorrow if everything goes smoothly.
I have heard that once we defeat the boss on the 15th floor, we can use a transfer device
that would take us directly to the first floor.
In the worst happens and we are not able to defeat the boss, we should be able to get back
on the day before the next request.
Having decided to keep on advancing, I prepare the breakfast first.
Today’s menu has been decided.
I beat eggs, sugar, and milk together to create an egg wash, soak the bread that was within
the food Syl prepared for me in it. I melt butter in a pre-heated pan, put the bread in the
pan and carefully cook both sides.
Un. It’s the French toast.
I pour the honey we obtained yesterday over the dish. U~n, it smells nice.
Well then, itadakimasu.
Oh! Yummy!
I understand the deliciousness with just a bite. Even though there’s intense sweetness, it’s
not too heavy. Giant Bee’s honey…… delicious. Indeed, this is worth obtaining by all
means.
Allen and Elena also seem to be pleased with it. They are eating in a trance.
After I had observed Allen and Elena eat for a while, I wanted to resume my meal, but a
group of Giant Bees suddenly appeared from within the passage. The prey came to us on
their own.
「I will take care of it, you two eat up」
I stuff my cheeks with French toast, inform the two while trying to chew it down, stand up
and face the Giant Bees.
「《Air Shot》」
First, I aim at the group and shoot a sphere of air.
I was able to shoot down several of them, but more than a half were able to avoid because
of their nimbleness.
「《Wind Cutter》」
I shoot several wind blades this time.
The Giant Bees got shot in succession by the wide blades.
Yosh, I was able to defeat them all this time.
After beating all the Giant Bees, I went over and collected all drop items rolling on the
floor.
Most of them were wings and stingers, but I was able to obtain two more jars of honey.
While returning to continue my breakfast, another monster emerged from the passage.
Are? It’s another Giant Bee. Let’s clean up for the time being.
But, why do they keep on appearing?
I take a look at our breakfast and suddenly realize. Did the bees smell the sweet scent of
honey and came over?
Oh! Could the Giant Bees be lured out by any chance?
It may be worth trying it out.
=====
【Dungeon Record】Fourth Dungeon “Earth” 15 floors captured.
【Title】Captor of a Low Class Dungeon
=====
When I took out the Guild Card to confirm, it was well listed there. Un, this is not okay. I
will get exposed when I receive a Request……
The capture itself is not the problem. The problem is that we have captured the dungeon
only in a few days… First of all, let’s keep quiet by not receiving any requests for a while!
That means the earthworm meat is getting stored inside the《Infinite Storage》!
When I came to a conclusion, tosun, I felt a light impact on my legs. Allen and Elena
rushed to me and clung to my legs before I noticed.
「Good?」
「Over?」
「Thank you for waiting. It’s over. You are not injured, right?」
「「Al~right」」
I was careful not to shoot magic into the children’s direction, but I confirm to make sure.
Un, no problems here.
Speaking of which, what about the records on the two’s Guild Cards?
Thinking that, I take out Allen’s and Elena’s Guild Cards to check, and find that the two
have the same records properly listed on their cards.
The condition seems to be to reach this floor regardless of actually damaging the boss.
――Gogogogogo.
It was just about noon when we got out of the dungeon. We ate lunch in front of the
dungeon and set on grassy plains to return back to the town.
And then, I notice a snow-white dog fur? No…… wolf? 10 meters in front of us.
Isn’t that wolf sitting in a proper posture while vigorously wagging its tail? Is it someone’s
pet or a monster, a quite worrying scene.
If I had to say…… a pet? Its actions are that of a perfectly trained pet dog…… Also,
Allen and Elena are not cautious of it at all.
After thinking if we should intercept or avoid it, I appraise it just in case――
=====
【Name】
【Race】Fenrir[Takumi’s contracted beast]
【Age】5
【Level】25
【Skills】
Water Magic | Ice Magic | Claw Slash | Evasion
Shrinking | Night Vision | Presence Detection
=====
……………
…………
………
…… Un, it’s a monster. Moreover, a Fenrir. It’s an S-Rank monster……
Fenrir is water and ice attributed wolf with quick movements, strong claws, and fangs
which likes to fight at a close range. An awfully strong monster, normally…
It can’t be seen as a monster while wagging its tail like that.
But, this, what’s going on……
My contracted beast, what does that mean? I don’t remember making any contracts,
though??
When I check my status just in case, the skills【Monster Handling】【Taming】
and【Monster Contractor】suddenly appeared.
I have no knowledge about this. This must be that. It’s Syl, right?
I can’t leave it as it is, so when I beckon it to come over, the Fenrir’s tail wagging
increases and it runs over. And then, when it comes to my feet, it sits down again.
Un. Good doggy.
Nevertheless, looking at it up close, it’s huge. Even after it sat down, my line of sight
nearly didn’t change…… Is it bigger than a cow?
The children would be completely squashed during a play. Even I’m in danger……
While observing the Fenrir in front of me, the Fenrir was also jii~ staring at me with its
blue eyes.
「You are a contracted beast?」
『Wafu』
It replied to me when I asked.
It seems to understand what I say. If that’s the case――
「Hand」
『Wafu』
「Second」
『Wafu』
「Down」
『Wafu』
Un, flawless.
It seems to have received general training.
『Wafu!』
「N?」
The Fenrir barks, drawing my attention back to at it as if it was expecting something.
What? But, a typical pet dog would be like this, right?
「……… Yoshyosh?」
When I pat its head, it snuggles up to me comfortably. Seems like I was right. A complete
pet dog!? You, are you really an S-Rank monster?
While patting it, the hem on both sides of my clothes are being pulled. Allen and Elena are
pulling on the hem.
「What’s the matter?」
「「…………」」
When I look down to match their eyes, the two lift my hands up, turn my palms upwards
and put their little hands on it.
………………
……………
…………
… N?
「…………………………………………………… Hand?」
「「Wan!」」
「~~~!!」
What is this cuteness!!!
Because they were too cute, I ended up hugging the two unconsciously.
Hand!! What!? Imitating the Fenrir!?
Eh? Jealousy? Where they perhaps jealous because I paid attention to the Fenrir!?
I was troubled about treating the Fenrir as a pet, but they imitated it!! That’s seriously
adorable, though!? I must pay full attention to those two!
I squeeze Allen and Elena in my embrace so tightly they kya, kya happily, while the Fenrir
rubbed its face against us and began to lick.
In the end, Allen, Elena and the Fenrir ended up mutually hugging each other.
Ah, because leaving a contracted beast alone in a place like this is impossible, I named the
Fenrir Joule1, put Allen and Elena on its back and set towards the town.
The town walls are visible. We have arrived at the town before it got dark.
There, I decided to take Joule into my shadow.
Thanks to Dark Magic, contracted beasts can enter the shadow of the user and be
summoned back if necessary.
Unlike Tamed monsters, Contracted beasts are not required to always accompany you.
That is the strength of Contracted beasts, is what I think.
Like this, I can walk around with S-Rank Joule without attracting unnecessary attention.
Allen and Elena were reluctant, but it would definitely get noisy if we walk with Joule
around, right?
It seems it can become small as a puppy with its【Shrinking】skill, but because I have no
collar, it’s better like this today.
I better prepare a collar soon. While thinking so, we entered the town.
Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children
While Being an Adventurer~ - Chapter 19
CHAPTER 19 – THE SPILLED TRUTH
After entering the town, we went straight to the temple first. Of course, it’s to talk with
Syl.
(Syl, you here~?)
(Uwa――――――――n!! Takumi-sa―――n!!)
Uwa, what happened!?
As soon as I spoke, I could hear Syl’s outrageous crying voice.
(I”m glad…… gusun…… yo”u came to see meeee~)
Syl continues to cry.
Did I do something? N~? …… Nn!?
Ah! That thing!? That thing when I picked up Allen and Elena!
Which reminds me, I didn’t contact him since then. I just had nothing to talk about, but
does Syl think that I’m still angry!?
It’s Syl, he’s definitely under that impression.
(Ah~…… Syl, sorry…… I’m not mad at you so stop crying)
(Dullard… No…… I was in the wrong…… gusun)
Un. I can’t tell him that I completely forgot about that matter……
(Look, don’t cry. I’m at fault for not coming sooner, but I have something I’d like to ask
you)
(Ye”s. What is it?)
I decided to stop worrying about the crying Syl and get down to business.
(Today, my contracted beast has appeared, but it was sent by you, right Syl?)
(Contracted beast?)
(The monster Fenrir. It’s now in my shadow)
(Fenrir!? Ah―――!! Water’s! So cunning!! Even though I wanted to send one first!!)
Oya? Looks like it wasn’t Syl. But, he seems to know the sender. They are related to a
god, after all……
(Even though I told him to wait!! Mou! I will also send one immediately!!)
(Nono, wait a moment! Before that, by “Water’s” you meant that the one who send it is the
Water God-sama?)
(More precisely, the Water God’s family. It definitely was the Nagas. It looks like they
wanted to express their gratitude. I’m also looking after many other things for you. I will
send it now)
Before the excited Syl could do something I stopped him and confirmed the sender of
Joule for the second time.
Water God… It was from his family.
――Piron♪
The next day, we left through the south gate and arrived at a prairie. Because we came
without visiting the Guild, I’m in a complete whole picnic mood.
Allen and Elena are already chasing Joule around the meadows.
――Piron♪
I was relaxing while watching the kids play. And then, I heard the sound I already got used
to recently.
Then, a shadow of an animal entered my vision.
Are? There are two?
Doesn’t it say they are both my Contracted beasts when I appraise them?
=====
【Name】
【Race】Thunderhawk [Takumi’s Contracted beast] 【Age】3
【Level】20
【Skills】
Lightning Magic | Beak Peck | Flight | Surprise Attack
Farsight | Night Vision | Area Investigation
=====
The Thunderhawk is a small falcon with gold-colored feathers.
It manipulates Lightning magic, and its quick movements itself are that of lightning, it’s
an A-Rank monster.
Even though I said small, it’s around 30cm tall. Is it just barely able to stand on my arm?
As a test, I display my arm horizontally, before long, the Thunderhawk who was circling
above me lands on my arm.
These doesn’t seem to be any problem. However, its nails unexpectedly cut into my arm.
I’m wearing a leather jacket, so it doesn’t hurt, but would an arm cover that Falconer use
necessary in the future?
The second beast who came along is already rubbing its head against my stomach while
emitting a rumbling noise from its throat.
=====
【Name】
【Race】Celestial Tiger [Takumi’s Contracted beast] 【Age】5
【Level】25
【Skills】
Wind Magic | Flight | Claw Slash | Evasion
Shrinking | Night Vision | Presence Detection
=====
It’s a tiger…… a white tiger with blue eyes. Celestial Tiger is an S-Rank monster.
A monster which can manipulate the wind and run in the sky freely. It’s said that Celestial
Tigers can pass even through devastating storms.
Its size is similar to Joule.
Syl was torn between a cat and a bird…… It’s a bird. Thunderhawk is definitely a bird.
The Celestial Tiger is…… well, it certainly is a feline, right?
However, I didn’t think he would send me both.
I named the two new additions immediately. The Celestial Tiger is Feat and the
Thunderhawk is Bolt.
Then, I retrieve the items from《Infinite Storage》that I received from Syl. There was a
hill when I took it all out.
Seems like Syl prepared quite a lot.
He said he would prepare a collar, but it’s not just that, there’s also a pendant, a bracelet,
and a ring.
A mountain of materials. Detailed embroidery, leather items, and even metal armor.
From simple to cute and gorgeous clothes. Various items that could support every hobby
you may want to do.
Furthermore, it’s flexible to the degree that every person and even beasts would be able to
use it.
The same old lavish hospitality…
「「Sparkly~」」
Before I noticed, Allen and Elena returned to me and looked at decorations in their hands.
…… Are? Wait… a moment……
These are jewels!? All these stones are jewels!? I thought they were Magic stones, but I
was obviously wrong!
Sapphire, ruby, emerald, diamond!?
The items Allen and Elena were looking at were all made with gorgeous jewels. Of
course, it’s sparkly~ then!
No~ that seriously surprised. It was a jaw-dropping surprise.
More than a practical use, this would have an artistic value, right? It’s that. The rich
people attach it to their pets to brag about their superiority thing……
For Joule and others? Nonono, nai wa~ Anyway, I decided to put things that didn’t look
necessary right now away.
I like More simple, or rather more modest design~.
「N~… this is good」
=====
【Collar of Nullification】
A collar with a (medium) abnormal status resistance.
=====
What caught my eye is a smooth leather belt with a silver embroidery and a large magic
stone. The effect it has is good. Let’s use this. There seems to be more than one.
A blue magic stone for Joule. I then put a collar with a green magic stone on Feat,
confirmed the collars’ sizes, and made them both shrink.
「Un. Seems all right」
The collar properly shrank with the body. Magic tools are seriously convenient~
「「Wanwan!?」」
『Kyan!』
「「Nya~ nya~!?」」
『Na~u』
Suddenly, Allen and Elena got surprised at Joule’s and Feat’s small appearances and
imitated them to ensure that they are Joule and Feat.
Joule and Feat properly replied to Allen and Elena’s call.
I really wanted to take a photo of the scene of two children playing with two animals, but I
don’t have a camera, so I gave up. How regrettable…
Pulling myself together, I pick the next item.
「Ah, this may be good」
=====
【Strong Arm Bracelet】
A bracelet with (small) physical strength increasing effect.
=====
What caught my attention next are golden bracelets. An increase in offensive ability is
good. I took the small bracelet to Joule’s and Feat’s forepaw, and it shrunk to fit their
small sizes.
Joule and Feat should be good with this. I decided to find a magic tool for Bolt next.
=====
【Pendant of Nullification】
A pendant with a (medium) abnormal status resistance.
=====
=====
【Bracelet of the Gale】
A bracelet with (small) speed increasing effect.
=====
These two?
I put the pendant and bracelet on Bolt immediately.
Will his balance worsen if I put it only on one leg? Thinking that, I let Bolt fly in the sky
once with the magic tool on.
Ah~……… Un, doesn’t seem to be a problem. Bolt smoothly flies in the sky.
He comes back, lands on my shoulder and sings『Pii』while rubbing the top of its head
against my cheek. Looks like he likes it.
When I finished choosing magic tools for the three beasts, I looked at Allen and Elena
who were staring at me while carrying Joule and Feat in their arms.
They looked so jealous the whole time I was choosing the tools…… Joule and others have
matching tools.
Is this good? Nono, this is not a choker, but a collar. You two can’t wear this, okay!?
Eeh!? Don’t feel so down…… I will choose something for Allen and Elena right away, so
wait a moment.
「Here Allen, Elena. How about this?」
I showed the two the magic tools for our use I found after I looking for magic tools for the
beasts.
=====
【Angel’s Pendant】
A pendant with a (medium) magic attack resistance effect.
=====
=====
【Tough Ring】
A ring with a (small) physical attack resistance effect.
=====
=====
【Trackign Ring】
A ring which indicates the location of the wearer on the map.
=====
A wing pendant made out of silver on a leather strap. I put rings on both sides of the
pendants and tie it around Allen and Elena’s necks.
In Allen’s and Elena’s case, defenses were the first choice.
In addition, a tracking ring. This is a magic tool that functions as a GPS, which reflects on
my map. This was the only magic tool that was standing out.
Syl must have intentionally prepared this, so I know their location even if we get
separated.
「「Ehehe~」」
「You like it?」
「「Un!」」
Allen and Elena lift their pendants and joyfully stare at it.

Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children
While Being an Adventurer~ - Chapter 21
CHAPTER 21 – SHOWING INTEREST
Allen and Elena are showing off their pendants to Joule and the others.
They seem to be quite pleased with it.
I in the meantime check the contents of the《Infinite Storage》.
To be honest, I have been lost in the contents of the《Infinite Storage》myself.
Furthermore, a lot of things were added into it yesterday and today.
Therefore, I decided to organize before it’s too late.
Let’s confirm the newly obtained things first.
I view the screen with the list of items I received from Water God’s retainers.
The characters lined up in a row. I confirm them one by one.
A lot of clothes and waterproof overcoats. Ah, there’s even a tent! Then there’s fish,
seaweed and other marine materials and products.
Uwa, there’s even a water bottle that can be refilled with magical power! Super~
convenient! Moreover, it’s not just one, there are several of those tools, so generous.
Food, clothes, weapons, armors, medicine, magic tools, monster materials……… I assign
each and every item in its classification.
I can even equip Allen and Elena because there were item bags! They may be a little
concerned about it, but because it’s a small belt pouch they will surely quickly get used to
it.
What do I put in? Surely some money. Should I also make them carry their own Guild
Cards? Next the water bottle… what about preserved food? Dried meat? Also, some dried
fruits for snacks and some candy.
Extra clothes, an overcoat, and towel. Ah, a knife too. There are small folding knives, so
this should be good. Materials…… mithril? Un, why not? Since we have enough! Let’s
not worry about it.
In the end, I filled it with items that 5-year-old child wouldn’t really need, but…… oh,
well?
I’m just worried that Allen and Elena would get targeted if they use the items in public.
「Allen, Elena」
I call the two and tie the magic bags to their belts.
「This is Allen’s and this Elena’s. Be sure not to lose it while going outside, okay?」
「「Ye~s」」
When entering the town, the two joyfully took out their Guild Cards from their magic
bags.
◇◇◇
「………」
「Elena, what are you looking at? …… A general store?」
While walking back to the inn through the shopping district, Elena stops and jii~… she
stares at a certain place. When I look at what’s she’s looking right at, I see a female
oriented general store-like shop. I see girls choosing hair ornaments over at that shop.
As expected, a girl would have an interest in things like these.
「Elena, want to take a look?」
When I ask her, Elena’s face starts alternating between the shop and me. After a short
while, she lightly nods.
She seems to be interested, after all.
Various clothes and colored threads are on display in the shop. Rather than a general store,
a handicrafts shop?
Still, it sparkled Elena’s interest as she restlessly looked around the shop.
I also looked around the shop and found a white lace ribbon among the displayed
products.
「Oneesan, can this ribbon be used as hair ornament as it is?」
「Yes, it can. They are all 50G each」
I thought it might be a handicraft that needs to be sewn on first, but it seems it can be used
as it is.
Of course, I don’t know because I have never bought something like that before. Should I
buy it?
The price…… un? Even if I ask, I don’t know if it’s cheap or expensive. It’s the price of a
single meal on Aetherdia. Is that a reasonable price?
Maa, we have more than enough to buy it so there’s no problem.
「Elena, come here」
I crouch down near Elena, I bunch the hair behind her right ear together and put the ribbon
in it.
Doesn’t it have quite a nice feeling? The white ribbon makes Elena’s azure hair flourish, I
think it looks excellent.
「How nice, it suits her well. Oniisan, how about another one on the second side?」
「Yeah. I will take it」
Certainly, this hairstyle will look better on both sides.
While thinking that, I receive the exact same ribbon from the good at business lady and do
the same on the left side.
「How nice, how nice. I have a mirror here Ojouchan, take a look」
The shop assistant lady takes out a hand mirror and presents it to Elena. Elena jii~ at her
hair… then her smile blossoms.
「You like it?」
When I ask, Elena gives me a light nod.
She seems to be pleased with it, let’s buy more in different colors.
「Then, shall we buy some other colors? Elena, what colors do you like?」
When I look at Elena who faced the display of ribbons and chosen her favorite colors――
She chose a green and black ribbons and picked them up.
I thought she would definitely pick a pink or red, but that wasn’t the case.
「You like that one?」
「Un!」
「… N~ Elena, I think that color won’t go too well with your hair color, though?」
「This! Oniichan’s color!」
My color? Certainly, it’s close to my hair and eye color……
「She really loves Oniisan, I see~ Hey, ribbons don’t have to be primarily used in hair」
「…… That’s right, huh. Elena, is one of each color okay?」
「Un!」
Certainly, there’s no need to use it in hair especially, let’s buy it since Elena picked it
herself.
Besides, she chose my hair and eye colors, she did something adorable.
「Then, this pink, cream, and light blue too? Two of each, please. Also, is that mirror
perhaps for sale?」
I choose another three colors that seemed suitable for Elena.
Also, might as well buy a mirror, rigth? But, would a handicrafts shop sell those?
「This? I’m afraid to say not. This is something sold three stores from here」
Ah, as expected. But, let’s buy it later since it’s close.
「Rather than that, Oniisan! I have a favor to ask」
「A favor?」
「Yes! Won’t you dress the children in this for me to see!?」
The slightly excited woman presents a white-hooded cape in each of her hands.
「I think it’s okay, but」
「Really!?」
When I approved, the woman approached Allen and Elena to put the capes on at once.
Then, as expected, the two quickly hid behind my back.
They are able to speak in public, but they can’t talk yet directly with someone except for
me. Because of that, having someone dress them is…… impossible.
「Ah~……」
「Ah, indeed. These children are not used to strangers. Could you lend it to me?」
I received the capes from the depressed woman and helped the two put them on.
This time…… rather than the two putting it on themselves, they want me to put it on for
them, huh~ Is it okay to be enjoying this sense of superiority? No, I can’t… I have to let
them become accustomed to strangers bit by bit……
Nevertheless, this cape, it feels nice on touch? Was it made with a good fabric? The cape
is thick, it doesn’t look like it could be worn after it gets hot.
「Can you put the hoods up!?」
「?」
After I had finished putting it on, I put the hoods up as the woman said.
「!! This is~~」
The hood surprised me. This is so cute!
There are animal ears on top of the hood!
Allen’s are semicircular ears, Ellen’s are triangular.
Allen and Elena titls their heads at me who is in agony, but that gesture wasn’t something
an ordinary person can survive. It can’t be helped, but to fall into even deeper agony,
right?
「So good! Amazingly nice!! Ah~ As I expected, it really suits these children!」
「You made this?」
「That’s right. I’m also a tailor, after all. This is something I made a long time ago, but
you see~ the moment I saw these children, I couldn’t help it, but want them to put it
on!!」
This person is apparently also a tailor. That explains why several clothes are on displayed.
「Are you selling this?」
Because the two are adorable in it, if she’s selling it I would like tobuy it. The seasons
already changed, but there’s still room to grow so when it gets chilly again, they will be
able to wear it.
「Of course! But, is that all right? It’s made from a good fabric so the price is quite high.
It’s an unsold item so there’s a discount, but…」
「It’s all right. It suits the two well, after all」
「Really!? You saved me!!」
Thus, I immediately bought the two kemonomimi capes.
Ah, before I forget, we also visited the nearby shop to purchase the mirror.
Because I have bought lots for Elena this time, I will have to buy Allen something next, is
what I thought, but…… but, what do you buy for boys?
…… Nn? What would be good?
Girls are easy to understand. It was a ribbon and a mirror this time. It will be accessory
next time. A stuffed toy after that…
Then, for a boy? When I ask, the answer gets jammed.
What did I get when I was small?
―――Games and manga? They don’t have that in this world……
―――A soccer ball or baseball glove? That’s also not here…
―――A plastic model? Not here…………
―――Building blocks? Would it be useful even if they sell it? In the first place, would
the two play with building blocks?
Nn? This is no good…… I can’t think of anything good……
After thinking for a while and not figuring anything out, I have decided to put Allen’s
shopping on hold.
Sorry, Allen…… I will think about it, so when there’s another opportunity……

While Being an Adventurer~ - Chapter 22
CHAPTER 22 – THE KNIGHTS’ SUBJUGATION
REQUEST
◇◇◇
One the appointed day. I stopped by the Adventurer’s Guild with Allen and Elena first.
My purpose was to check the details about the request.
Honestly, I didn’t hear what sort of request this time’s request is. Just the usual situation.
I didn’t so I wanted to grasp the contents of the requests, so I won’t get in the way. The
Guild is on the way to the west gate, after all.
Therefore, I scanned the request board and then went to the gathering place at the west
gate.
There, Knights loading several carriages and adventurers who also accepted the request
are already gathered. When the people noticed our presence, they looked at us with a
suspicious and sharp gazes.
I know I stand out because I have children with me, but what an unpleasant atmosphere.
For now, I ignore the stares and approach Wald-sama who is giving instructions.
「Ou, you came!」
Wald-sama who noticed us lifts up one hand and walks towards us.
「Good morning, Wald-sama」
「You properly came. The little ones came too as expected」
「Since I have received the request I would naturally come. Besides, Wald-sama
understood that the children would go with me when you have given me the request,
right?」
Wald-sama knows the circumstances of Allen and Elena. If you knew, why would you
want me to participate in the request!
「Hahaha. You guys will be all right. Besides, I put you guys into my team」
「You have dived us into teams?」
「Three teams in total. A line-up of fifteen people. The parties of adventurers were kept
together」
「From what I can see there is no other three person party beside us?」
It’s easy to see each party from the way the adventurers are gathering.
「I let you guys participate on my own, after all. We have two more people in the team.
Ah, that way the number of knights decreased」
You seem to have been at least paid considerate in the party dividing.
「If you can pay that much consideration, you should have at least explained about us to
the other knight-samas. You didn’t even tell them about us participating? I can feel their
cold gazes since a while ago」
「Oh! I forgot!」
This person……
The knights who were listening to our conversation attentively looks at Wald-sama with
indifferent expressions. I wonder if Wald-sama is always like this.
But, it should have been transmitted that the person who asked us to come was Wald-sama
himself. I hope this would make conversing with the unit a bit easier, though……
Allen and Elena who are sensitive towards the surroundings took the stares of others as
“hostility,” but they still thankfully didn’t lash out, but clung closely to my legs instead.
I decided to lift the two up because it was hard walking like that. I lifted one, I lifted the
second, and now they cling to my neck instead.
This will last for a while, huh……
◇◇◇
We moved by the carriage to the Gaya Forest. Because the carriages can’t be left behind
outside the forest, knight-samas who don’t participate in the subjugation will take them
back.
We will arrive in four to five hours.
I was able to exchange a few words with the knight-samas in the carriage. I’m glad their
attitude softened a bit.
Because I was “Forced by Wald-sama”, they had a sympathizing atmosphere around them,
though. Apparently, Wald-sama regularly stirs up his surroundings.
The atmosphere in the carriage loosened and we arrived at the place of destination in
peace.
「Oshi! The preparations are complete. From here, you will move according to your
party’s route towards the camping point」
This subjugation expedition is planned to last for five days. First, the three parties will
move through the forest separately.
The party we are in has 10 Knight-samas including Wald-sama. Also, 4 men
party『Dragon Breath』containing an A-Rank adventurer Rudolph-san. 17 people in
total.
Without delay, I follow Wald-sama’s team while holding hands with Allen and Elena.
After walking in the forest for a while.
「There~」
「Coming」
It seems that Allen and Elena sensed a monster. They point to the left with their fingers
while pulling the hem of my clothes.
「Thank you. Wald-sama, a monster is coming from the left side」
I immediately report to the captain of this team, Wald-sama.
「N, from left? ――… Takumi, nothing’s there」
「There’s still some distance. But, you should see it soon. What to do in a situation like
this? Everyone takes care of it?」
The extent of Allen’s and Elena’s detection is vast. Therefore, we have a spare time to
prepare to confront the monster.
「Gilm, can you detect it?」
『Dragon Breath』leader, A-Rank Rudolph-san immediately checks with his party
member.
Rudolph-san has a dignified, well-built stature, and he’s carrying a spear with an ax-like
blade attached…… a 38 years old man carrying a halberd. Indeed, a person emitting a
“veteran” atmosphere.
The one he checks with is a C-Rank scout named Gilm-san. If I’m not mistaken, he
possesses a detection skill. The other two are a B-Rank swordsman Zack-san and the only
woman, C-Rank magician Iris-san.
「No, there’s no reaction」
「Oioi, that true? Don’t say such spew such nonsense to me」
「………」
It seems like Gilm-san’s detection still didn’t react.
The surroundings become noisy.
Hearing Gilm-san’s results, Zack-san jeers back in doubt. But, Rudolph-san as if
observing something looks at the children and me.
I have a【Detection】skill, but this uses me as a center to spread magical power and
allows me to search for magical power other than mine. It uses quite the quantity of the
user and is considerably different from presence detection.
Even though he has the same【Detection】as me, since the amount of magical power I
have is overwhelmingly larger, I can search wider area.
And although similar to【Detection】, Allen and Elena have【Presence Detection】. It’s
an ability which allows them to sense a malicious intent in a certain scope.
Although we have to activate the skill on our own, Allen and Elena are using the skill
unconsciously.
And, the effective radius of Allen’s and Elena’s【Presence Detection】is vast. I checked
this fact myself with my【Detection】.
That’s the reason, Gilm-san’s detection hasn’t reacted yet.
「Ah!」
「What’s wrong?」
「There’s a reaction. Incoming!」
It seems the monster finally appeared in his detection.
「What!?」
「Really?」
『Dragon Breath』members and knight-samas simultaneously look towards us.
Nono, it’s really the truth. It’s not like I would say something irresponsible in a place like
this.
Hey, what are you going to do about that? You shouldn’t be paying attention here?
Immediately, a single Red Wolf enters the view. When it’s seen, and everyone enters a
ready for battle mode――
「Ah, oi!」
One of the knights points to a direction.
Ah, crap!
When I look to what he’s pointing at, I see Allen and Elena charging at the Red Wolf.
When we were in the dungeon I told them “when you find a monster it’s all right to defeat
it”, I remembered too late.
I forgot to tell Allen and Elena to behave……
The two drew close to the Red Wolf immediately.
There, Allen quickly kicks the chin of the Red Wolf from bellow. The Red Wolf raised a
bit because of that kick and this time Elena drives a drop kick on its head.
The Red Wolf crashed into the ground and stopped moving.
『…………………』
The knights and adventurers all have the same dumbfounded expression with their mouths
agape.
Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children
While Being an Adventurer~ - Chapter 23
「「Defeated~!」」
Allen and Elena return as if nothing has happened. While drawing the defeated Red Wolf
by its forepaws behind them……
They have completely mastered the dungeon’s action of “picking up dropped items from
defeated monsters.”
However… I should stop you from dragging the Red Wolf’s large body with your little
bodies…… everyone got even more surprised, after all……
「Ah, un. Good job~ Are you unhurt?」
「Un」
「Ok~ay」
First, let’s pat the heads of the two who safely defeated the monster. It already became a
habit. If I don’t do that, the children will look up at me with anxiety.
「Ah~, also. This time, Oniichan and the others will fight the monsters, why don’t Allen
and Elena take a day-off?」
「「? Understand~」」
I tell them before I forget. There are 15 experienced adults, Allen and Elena shouldn’t
need to fight.
The two tilted their heads in puzzlement, but they seemed to understand. Like this, even if
they find a monster, they won’t recklessly charge at it.
「Oi! The hell was that just now!」
「No~… just as you saw?」
Even if you ask me what…
「Red Wolf is a C-Rank, you know!」
「Didn’t you, Wald-sama assess the children as C-Rank adventurers yourself?」
「That was you! Did you want to make your opponents careless because he was facing
children!?」
Eh!? Did you interpret it like that?
「…… Even if you thought so, I have told you about how I found these kids, right?」
「That talk about them being orphaned, right? What about it?」
…… Seriously?
Did he not notice anything……
You, how could you want me to join in the request then?
「I told you I found these children malnourished in the Gaya Forest」
「I have heard that」
「!!」
Wald-sama looks like he doesn’t understand yet, but the silver-haired, grayish blue-eyed,
stereotypical “brains” like looking vice-captain Isaac Risner-sama realized it. He opens his
eyes wide in surprise.
「…… By that, you mean “the children have originally lived in this forest”…… right? 」
「Ah!!」
With Risner-sama’s words, Wald-sama finally understood.
「That’s right. Were they defeating the monsters, or were they running away from them? I
don’t know how they lived until now yet, but they have certainly survived in the forest for
several days」
『……………』
Everyone is at a loss for words.
Everyone knows the dreadfulness of this forest. For that reason, they can imagine just how
harsh those several days Allen and Elena lived here must have been.
「Anyhow. These children were originally strong, so even if you ask me I won’t be able to
answer you」
I said while patting the heads of Allen and Elena on both of my sides.
If I say it like that, there most likely won’t be anyone who will ask further questions.
「Well then, here you go」
To not linger about this topic anymore, I present the defeated Red Wolf to Wald-sama.
「Ah?」
「The Knights are collecting the defeated monsters, right?」
「Yes……」
The defeated monsters are at once collected the Knights, then purchased later. A suitable
price depending on the contribution will be paid separately from the request payment.
So I said, why do you still have such complicated expressions?
「……… You guys can keep that」
「Is that alright?」
「Yes. If I include that in the check, I would feel guilty for stealing from the kids…… N?
Takumi, do you have a magic bag? Should I lend you one?」
「No, it’s alright」
I’m told that we can harvest this Red Wolf.
Because the wolf was completely defeated by Allen and Elena only, he would feel
awkward to collect it.
Even though he doesn’t have to worry about it~ But, well if he says so, I will take it
without any reservation.
「……《Infinite Storage>》? A space-time magic user…」
「Eh!?」
Rudolph-san points out when I collect the Red Wolf.
How did he know!?
I have made an unnatural reaction because of your sudden comment!
「The flow of magical power of magic bag and《Infinite Storage》is different. That thing
on your waist is definitely a magic bag, but you have collected it elsewhere, right?」
「………」
That surprised me. To think he would be able to distinguish the difference of magical flow
between magic bag and《Infinite Storage》……
「That’s amazing. To be able to perceive such a small difference in magical flow」
「It’s only possible for people who excel at perceiving magical power」
A proficiency of a skill, huh…… As expected of A-Rank. Indeed, not an ordinary person.
The others aside from Rudolph-san look surprised. I wasn’t planning on concealing it
forever, but I was unexpectedly exposed early.
But, like this, I will be able to use it without holding back, so let’s not mind it?
The surveying of the forest has resumed.
And then, after a while――
「「Ah!」」
Allen and Elena suddenly run off and squat to a tree’s base.
N? Is there something? Ah, a medicinal plant.
「「Here!」」
What the two brought back is a Demon Spirit Grass.
=====
【Demon Spirit Grass】
A medicinal plant growing in places with a demonic element in the air.
A special condition is necessary in order to cultivate demonic element. There is no success
in its cultivation so far.
A useful medicinal plant mainly used for magic potions.
=====
「You remembered well~ However you see~……」
「「Can’t~?」」
This is a medicinal plant which we gathered for a request once before. The two
remembered it well.
But, we are working in a group right now, so I can’t have them going out on their own.
It’s not good. Normally I would……
I glance over to Wald-sama. Then, Allen and Elena look at him too.
Then, once again.
「「Can’t~?」」
They request with puppy eyes.
If it were me, I would get defeated instantly. How about Wald-sama……?
「…… I don’t mind if you follow without falling behind」
He closed his eyes for Allen and Elena.
Since listening to the talk about Allen and Elena a while ago, the other knight-samas
watch over the children with lukewarm expressions.
Allen and Elena sense that too, they are able to give simple answers.
We have become quite well-known, but that may have been good.
Un, all turned out good…… I think?
「Don’t go too far」
「「Ye~s」」
Allen and Elena who received permission start running here and there energetically. They
collect medicinal plants and fruits one by one.
But, you see, I didn’t teach them about the medicinal plants in the vicinity? …… Eh, did
they see them before?
… Yes, when I met them in the Gaya Forest for the first time. I was indeed gathering
various things that time. But, I was collecting it alone, did they remember just from seeing
me?
They remember well~
My body was inserted with knowledge and appraisal, so I had it easy, but these children
really are talented~
「Oniicha~n」
「Get that~」
Allen and Elena seem to find something again and trot over to me. Then, they point their
fingers at a big rock, trying to show me something.
When I look towards the direction they are pointing at, I see a moss growing in the shade
of rocks.
I see. This can’t be gathered without gloves. These children even remember the proper
gathering method.
=====
【Iwami Moss】
A turquoise species of moss growing in humid, dark places. Especially in shade of rocks.
Causes rash in contact with bare hands.
Medicine for an itch when mixed with several kinds of medicinal plants.
=====
「What’s that?」
「That’s an Iwami Moss, isn’t it? They are really smart children」
All members stop and look at the shade of the rock.
Most of the people tilt their heads in puzzlement, but Risner-sama seems to know of it. My
brains-like impression of him wasn’t wrong.
「This is a material mainly used for skin itch medicine. Captain, you were previously
lamenting when an anti-itch medicine wasn’t being sold, weren’t you? It’s used for that.
The reason that medicine isn’t sold that much anymore is because the Iwami Moss’s
acquisition has recently decreased」
“Mainly used for skin itch medicine” Risner-sama makes it sound good, but…… in other
words, it’s that. Medicine for athlete’s foot.
Wald-sama… you have an athlete’s foot, don’t you……
Are? Why are so many people staring at the moss? You guys too!?
「Seriously!? Oshi! Let’s gather it all!」
「Captain, you can’t!」
「Wald-sama, you can’t!」
Wald-sama who really wants an itch medicine quickly moved towards the moss. Both
Risner-sama and I stop him in panic.
「Captain, if you touch it bare handed you will get rash. Please, think a bit about why
those children didn’t gather it themselves but called Takumi-san instead! Even though I
told you to『Stop working by instinct』so many times! Besides―――」
Risner-sama started his lecturing. The other knight-samas look like this is a normal
occurrence. Being a vice-captain to a captain who moves on instincts seems tough.
While the lecturing is going on, I put on leather gloves, shave off the moss clinging to the
rock with a knife and collect it.
However, even when I was done with the collecting, the lecturing time didn’t come to an
end yet.
Is it still going to continue?
Let’s confirm with the other knights.
「When will this finish?」
「It won’t end for an another hour」
…… Another hour? No~ I can’t wait that long……
Can’t be helped……
「Let’s release the ultimate weapon…」
「The ultimate weapon… is it?」
「Right. Allen, Elena. Come here―――」
I whisper to their ears and send them out towards Risner-sama.
「N?」
The two approach Risner-sama and pull on the hem of his clothes. Risner-sama noticed it
and stopped his lecturing.
「What’s the matter?」
「Here」
「For you」
Allen and Elena hand Risner-sama the gathered Iwami Moss.
「You are giving me this?」
Risner-sama who crouched down checks the contents of the bag and confirms with Allen
and Elena.
「Un」
「For you~」
「Thank you very much」
「「Un!」」
They were able to end the lecturing time safely.
Allen, Elena. You did well!
Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children
While Being an Adventurer~ - Chapter 24
CHAPTER 24 – PHANTOM BREAD
◆◆◆
After all the bread was baked, it was time for sampling.
「So good!」
I receive praises from Road-san.
「「Yummy~」」
Allen and Elena who observed me the whole time finally bit into the samples which they
really liked. Although they were only samples, but because there were four kinds of bread,
they filled their mouths plentily.
A~ah, if they eat so much, they won’t be able to eat dinner later~
And then, the bread I made (strictly speaking, they weren’t my ideas) became the talk
of『Gold Wheat’s Shop』.
Of course, I have approved of it. If it sells, I will be now able to buy it from a shop.
Because the custard cream tends to spoil, I had to explain its method of making, though
carefully.
After that, Road-san did various trials and errors and put the products on sale.
◆◆◆
The rumors of 『Gold Wheat’s Shop』 Jam bun, Raisin bread, Cinnamon roll being first-
class bread from the town of Shirin spread around.
The rival bakeries now started selling them too.
Maa, but no matter what happens, their rivals won’t be able to reproduce it properly. But
still, there are one or two shops that are ahead of『Gold Wheat’s Shop』.
But, the Cream bread made with custard cream is a specialty of『Gold Wheat’s Shop』.
They won’t allow its ingredients to be known to anyone.
The culture of “Bread, the main protagonist” was born……
… I honestly didn’t know. When did it become like that……
I didn’t think that the Cream bread would become so famous it would be called “Phantom
bread”……
「Moreover, there’s a talk it sells out a few minutes after selling. Takumi, you bought
it!」
「No, this is something that was personally made for me」
「Haa!? What’s that! They shouldn’t be accepting orders for that!」
I did order anything from Road-san.
Rather, why is Wald-sama so knowledgeable about this? Did he perhaps not eaten it yet?
The Knights including Wald-sama are looking envious…… The adventurers of『Dragon
Breath』who are not from Shirin didn’t seem to know of it, but they are now greatly
interested…
「Kiddos, share a bit with me」
「「No~!!」」
Please don’t go taking food from children!!
Ah~ my Cream bread inventory…… ah, there’s enough for all people here.
Can’t be helped~
「Only this one time~」
「Seriously!? Alright!」
When I take out the Cream bread, everyone gathers.
Calm down a bit! This is『Gaya Forest』be a little careful of surroundings!
『Buhiiiiiii~』
After the unexpected break, a group consisting of six Orcs and one High Orc has appeared
after we resumed the survey.
Knights in pairs take on the Orcs, while the『Dragon Breath』party engages the High
Orc.
And I’m also responsible for taking care of one Orc.
Although Allen and Elena are here, I confront the Orc alone.
Seeing that, Rudolph-san and Gilm-san offered help, but I of course declined.
There’s only one opponent, after all. There are no problems.
「《Wind Cutter》」
I quickly cut its head off, case closed!
Orc has a large body with great power, but its movements are slow so it’s easy to defeat.
All you have to do is aim and shoot. A big body means big target.
Easy peasy!
「Haa~!」
As for the Knights, one person attracts the Orc’s attention and the other person strikes at it.
They keep repeating it wounding it little by little and then give it a fatal wound. It’s a very
steady way of fighting.
I just quietly watch, ready for a follow-up anytime.
However…… They way of fighting is completely opposite of me who can only fight with
brute strength.
It’s a way of fighting that I, who lived 20 years without a single fight can’t do.
In the first place, I didn’t do any other exercises back on Earth than running (I wasn’t fast
by any means). I was not athletic at all.
Un, I was a klutz. What a sad thing……
In ball games, I was catching the balls with my face~ It’s all old memories now.
However, I can now run fast because of the present body, my physical ability can’t be
compared to my previous one!
Iya~ moving freely is splendid! I could avoid any ball now!
However, even if my physical ability increased, my martial experience is zero, so I may
not be able to provide much support……
I know I can’t help because I never had any interest in things like these, leaving me with
limited knowledge.
Allen’ and Elena’s fighting style is strong, should I learn a bit from them? Dojo… is there
a place like that somewhere~
There should be a place that teaches basics. Let’s look for one next time.
「Oriyaa~!」
「Buhiiii~」
Ah, looks like Wald-sama and others defeat all of the Orcs. There don’t seem to be any
injuries.
「Haaa!」
「Buhiiiiiii~!」
Oh, Rudolph-san’s halberd beheaded the High Orc.
With the High Orc’s cry of agony, Rudolph-san shouts not losing to the Orc.
「Uwa!」
When all Orcs are defeated, Rudolph-san looks at me with a stern expression. Then he
suddenly asks while grabbing my hand.
「Takumi!!」
「Yes!?」
「To instakill an Orc… just who are you!」
Even if you asks me that.
I understand that an experienced Knight will have troubles against Orc in a one on one
fight, but I think that anyone with some skill in magic can behead such slow monster
easily?
Moreover, the others also didn’t take that much time to deal with their opponents.
Why are you grabbing my head?
「「Uu~」」
「Allen, Elena. It’s all right. Wald-sama how about releasing your hand? The two are
wary of you」
I’m being bullied? The two probably thought so and let out cute growling noises.
Hearing my words, Wald-sama notices Allen and Elena clinging to my sides while glaring
at him. He awkwardly releases his hand.
「Allen, Elena. Look, I’m okay, calm down please~」
For now, I pat the two U~ u~ growling kids’ heads.
「To have that done to him and be alright!」
「Perhaps captain wasn’t serious enough?」
「No, that was serious. I can tell. That was a considerable amount of power」
「… Inhuman」
「Right. He’s not normal」
Because I was held with all his strength, I felt pain. However, I have a physical attack
resistance. Moreover, it’s MAX’ed!
Therefore, although I felt only a little pain, an average person would be finished. The
Knight start whispering among themselves after witnessing me not showing any reaction
to Wald-sama’s attack.
Hey, you guys…… I can hear you.
They are certainly not wrong. I’m a God’s retainer “Human?”. You are not wrong,
but…… that’s somewhat rude.
「Wald-sama and others also didn’t take much time to deal with their opponents」
「We were in pairs! Moreover, we can’t do something like instakilling it! You are an F-
Rank fraud!」
「No, I have raised by one rank, so I’m an E-Rank now」
Adventurers normally start at F-Rank, right? Then, they steadily improve they rank.
I’m not a fraud!
「Doesn’t change the fact it’s stra~nge!」
So cruel……
「Rudolph-dono! I will contact Guild Master too, but once we return, please tell Guild
Master to raise this fellow’s rank immediately!」
「Right. I will definitely talk with him」
「………」
Oya?
「With a high ranker’s recommendation, the Guild Master can raise one rank to some
extent」
Rudolph-san who saw my bewilderment explains.
Something like skipping grades? I see, so there was such a system.
As expected, I didn’t know such information.
Probably, even though Syl knows basic information, he isn’t aware of small details like
this. It’s not necessary for him, after all.
It wouldn’t be bad to raise my rank, right? The extent of requests I could take will
increase.
What procedures should be taken after returning to the town?
Maa~ Rudolph-san said he would talk to the guild’s top so I should probably just wait
since they will be contacting me?
「First of all, let’s clean up. Fuse, Cain. Rudolph-dono and others dismantle the High Orc.
Collect as much meat as you need. Others take the Orcs」
People start dismantling on Wald-sama’s orders.
I also collect the Orc’s materials.
First, the magic stone.
Next, the testicles…… it’s apparently an ingredient used for male-oriented stimulants. I
will absolutely never drink it, but…… this seems to be quite high in demand.
High Orc’s materials are same as Orc’s, magic stone and testicles. Also, it’s skin is used
for protective gear.
Also, both have an enormous amount of meat.
This is a problem. Several of 3~4 meters tall Orcs leave behind quite a lot of meat.
It’s food. It would be normally brought back, but today is the first day of the expedition. If
we secure it now, it will spoil before we could get back to the town.
Unfortunately, in a case like this, we can only secure enough for us to consume.
「Yosh, we are done. Then―――」
And, the rest is burned, so they don’t turn undead.
―――Normally, they would be burned, but……
「Wald-sama」
「Takumi, what’s up?」
「Have you forgotten? With me, we can collect everything」
In my《Infinite Storage》the meat won’t spoil.
『Ah!』
He seemed to forget because he’s not familiar with it yet, but the time stops in space-time
magic. It should be known that time stops inside the《Infinite Storage》.
Thus, we have decided to collect the rest of the Orc meat.
Because it would take a time to dismantle, I just stored everything inside《Infinite
Storage》 just like that.
「Nevertheless…… to think there would be a group so close to the town」
「This is unusual」
「What do you think, Rudolph-dono?」
It seems to be rare to encounter a group half a day distance of the town.
They are mostly seen alone.
Wald-sama and Risner-sama confirm the situation with Rudolph-san.
「Umu. I have a feeling that the atmosphere in the forest has been quieter than
before……」
Rudolph-san’s meaning isn’t “it’s calm”, but “it’s quiet before the storm”.
「Captain, it might be better to investigate this carefully」
「Yea, I agree. Let’s move with more care from now on」
We advance further to the forest while cautious.
Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children
While Being an Adventurer~ - Chapter 26
The next day when I woke up, everyone was staring at me with expectations to make
breakfast.
Of course, I made it……
I mean, I might as well make something delicious.
Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children
While Being an Adventurer~ - Chapter 27
CHAPTER 27 – RESCUE
「Captain! That!」
The second day of the expedition advanced smoothly. We are a little ahead of schedule
today as all three teams are going to gather at one camping point.
At that time, an accident has happened.
One of the knights all of sudden loudly shouts and points towards a direction.
N? A red light is visible.
「It’s a flare! We are rushing to join up!」
Wald-sama says quickly changes the direction. Others follow him.
Only I follow without knowing what’s going on.
By flare they mean the red light, right? Does it have any meaning?
「What is that?」
「It’s light from an emergency magic tool. We use it when encountering an unmanageable
monster, when in need of assistance. One of the teams must be in trouble」
There seem to be various colors with different meanings, the red means that help is
requested, and on the other hand, blue is used when there’s no need for help.
There also seem to be smoke flare types, but light flare types are used in places like Gaya
Forest where the view is obstructed.
Risner-sama quickly explained while speedily advancing towards the flare.
The reason we do not run at full speed is that it’s highly possible that we will have to fight
before getting to the destination. We wouldn’t be of any help if we got exhausted before
joining up.
Everyone moves at a quick pace while suppressing the feelings of impatience.
「It would be better to hurry up?」
「Yes, that’s right」
「Then, we will go ahead. Allen and Elena―――」
「「Going~」」
It’s an emergency with human lives on the line. I shouldn’t be stingy.
Because I can use Wind Magic to accelerate, I will use that and go ahead.
Therefore, I have thought to let Allen and Elena stay with Wald-sama and
others―――but they spoke faster than me.
It seems impossible to persuade them now, so I decided to take them along. We shouldn’t
be wasting any more time.
「Wind, gather around me and form a gale. 《Accel》」
I chant with Allen and Elena in my arms. It looked like Wald-sama was saying something,
but I ignored it, enveloped my body in wind’s power, and started running.
Several minutes later, we arrived at the place of destination.
「Is that it!」
People opposing monsters with their swords appeared in my sight.
I jumped up with the momentum and landed on a branch where I overlooked the situation
from.
The monster is Red Wolf’s higher variety, B-Rank Bloody Wolf. Moreover, it’s a whole
pack.
Bloody Wolf is a wolf with a fur red as blood. Confirming visually…… there are 7 in
total?
The path of retreat has been cut off. Furthermore, there several people on their knees.
Wounded? They don’t seem to be severely wounded, but it will get dangerous if it
continues.
「Allen, Elena. I will reduce the numbers first by bit, will you help me with clean up?」
「「Un!」」
「Thank you」
「「Ye~s」」
The situation is worse than I thought. It feels like they are “Barely holding their ground”
and won’t be able to hold any longer.
I wanted to help alone, but it doesn’t look I will be able to rescue them all on my own, so I
asked Allen and Elena for assistance.
「《Air Shot》」
First, I aim at the Bloody Wolves from the top of the branch and shoot seven air bullets.
―――Doon.
「Gyaun!」
「Wha! What!?」
The air bullets hit. A cloud of dust rises together with the cries of Bloody Wolves and
surprised voices.
I immediately blow off the cloud of dust with wind to clear the visibility.
Apparently, the《Air Shot》hit only four targets. Moreover, the air bullets only damaged
them, I wasn’t able to kill them off.
I held back on my magical power so I wouldn’t involve the people nearby, but it seems
that the magical power wasn’t enough to kill the wolves.
I retrieve a『Water Katana』from the《Infinite Storage》. This is something I received
from Water God’s retainers.
I pull the blade from its blue scabbard while jumping off the branch and kill one of the
injured Bloody Wolves. The Blood Wolf cries it’s last「Gyaun!」and falls down.
I immediately pull the sword from the dead Bloody Wolf and instantly behead another
one. With this, two Bloody Wolves have died.
―――Dokon!
Following me, Allen and Elena jump down and land on two Bloody Wolves, killing them
right away.
The squashed Bloody Wolves sunk into the ground, but that’s a trifling matter, right?
Now then, this leaves three more Bloody Wolves.
Allen and Elena face a nearby Bloody Wolf together.
「Be careful, okay?」
「「Ye~s!」」
An energetic reply.
I think it will be all right, but no matter what I’m worried about the two children.
「Y, you guys certainly are… the people Wald brought along……」
「Yes. We have come to back you up」
One of the knights approaches and asks me while supporting his body with a sword. This
is the team’s captain if I’m not mistaken.
I look at the people that were attacked.
Everyone has some kind of a wound, but including the people that are on their knees
without being able to move, there doesn’t seem to be anyone with life threating injury.
「First of all, we will tidy this up. Please, gather the people that can’t move in one place
in the meantime」
「O, oi!」
After saying that, I turn around and confront the two growling Bloody Wolves.
I think I have heard a disapproving voice, but I disregard it, and set up with the Water
Katana in my right hand, and magic ready to be shot in my left hand.
「《Air Shot》」
First, I face one of the wolves and shoot an《Air Shot》at it to keep it in check and
assault the other.
I evade the Bloody Wolf that attacks me from the back. The Bloody Wolf I kept in check
with《Air Shot》imemdiately cut the distance between us.
I twist my body to evade the other charging Bloody Wolf and swing my katana at it, but it
was able to dodge.
Strong! As expected of B-Rank monster.
Bringing the four down with a surprise attack might have been a big win.
While glaring at the two Bloody Wolves, I take a glance at Allen and Elena. They are
skillfully poking the wolf down.
It somehow looks like they are playing. No, judging from their happy expressions, they
really are playing.
But well~ They seem to be okay at the moment.
When I return my sight at the two Bloody Wolves, they rush at me as if they were waiting
for this timing.
Now then, what should I do?
I could easily defeat them with some extra magical power, but I would damage both the
wolves and surroundings too much. That is no good, right?
The fur of Bloody Wolf is selling for a high price. They appear to be used to make coats
for noble ladies.
If I’m thinking like that, could it be that I got used to an adventurer lifestyle?
N~ I don’t want to damage the fur, after all~ It’s a pity, but I don’t want to waste much
time.
「《Air Shot》」
First, I shot several air bullets at the same time.
―――Don!
They hit the ground here and there, causing a cloud of dust whirl up. This time, I charge
right inside the bad visibility cloud.
「Ha!」
I swing down the katana at the sign of presence.
「Gyaun!」
A sense of feedback.
I make sure once the cloud of dust clears up. I see a wolf head at my feet.
Un. I was able to defeat it. Moreover, not the body, but it’s neck. I did better than I
expected.
The other Bloody Wolf groans at the loss of its companion.
A one on one charge?
I was about to strike that fellow down with my sword.
But, at that time―――
「Gyaun!」
Something came crashing into the side of the Bloody Wolf.
「……… Are?」
The thing that crashed into the Bloody Wolf is! Another Bloody Wolf.
When I look at the direction the Bloody Wolf flew from, Allen and Elena were there.
Their flying kicks sent it to the crash course.
The flying Bloody Wolf is already dead, but the one it crashed into is still alive, so I
finished it first by slashing its neck.
「Oi! You alright!?」
「「Onii~chan!」」
The two children jump at me more enthusiastic than usual.
I was a little surprised, but I was able to catch them and gather them up in my arms.
「You two seem so happy」
「「It was fun♪」」
……… Un. You two were playing, after all.
「Are you unhurt?」
「「Un!」」
I make sure if the two are not injured, but it seems to be okay.
I understood that they could defeat a B-Rank monster without getting injured.
Though I intended to do my best to avoid the situations Allen and Elena have to fight, but
it’s also important to support them to my best ability.
「The hell is this~!!」
After arriving and seeing the situation, Wald-sama who froze in a spot with his eyes open
finally snapped back to reality and shouted.
The other members are having a similar reaction.
Injured colleagues, 7 Bloody Wolf corpses and two children in high spirits…… Ah~ Un. It
certainly may be a delicate scene.
「…… Isaac, see the injured first and treat their wounds」
「Understood」
Hearing Wald-sama’s orders, Risner-sama takes a few subordinates and checks on the
injured.
「Iris, check on injured」
「Yes!」
Iris-san also goes to check on the injured. She can use Light Magic, so she’s able to cure
severely wounded people with Healing Magic.
I can use Healing Magic too, but… umm…… they don’t need my help… right?
Indeed, I don’t want to show more than this.
Un, I will leave it to everyone.
「Now then, Takumi. Did you defeat all these Bloody Wolves yourself?」
Uo!! Wald-sama inquiries with a menacing voice.
He’s unreasonably scary. Moreover, his stare is piercing?
「…… No. You are wrong?」
Allen and Elena helped me. I didn’t do it alone.
「Correction. Did you and the two shorties defeat all these Bloody Wolves?」
「……… That’s correct」
The brightness in Wald-sama’s eyes became even sharper.
Seems like I won’t be able to deceive him.
「…… I see…… that helped. There’s no time to dismantle, but collect everything, for
now」
「Roger」
I stood steady ready for next Wald-sama’s incomprehensible action, but he lightly
claps ponpon on my shoulders, then he went to check with Isaac-san on the situation.
…… It didn’t look like he was angry.
First of all, let’s do as told and collect the corpses of the Bloody Wolves.
When I finished collecting them, the emergency treatment ended as well.
Unfortunately, the low-grade drugs and Iris-san’s Healing Magic is not enough to help all
members recover completely. I see bandaged people here and there.
Only about half is completely recovered.
After a little bit, the last team joined up with us.
But, it wasn’t possible to immediately move to the camping point so we have changed the
location of the camp.
「Furious, I want to confirm the situation with you, is that all right?」
「Ou. No problem」
The leader of the team that was attacked by the Bloody Wolves, Captain of the Third Unit
of Shirin Knights, Furious Tierra-sama.
Tierra-sama is the eldest son of a Count House and Wald-sama’s friend.
Also, he’s the person supporting his body with a sword who called out to me before.
Although he was cured with Iris-san’s Healing Magic, his face is still a little bit pale from
the loss of blood.
「Even though I say that, the one who defeated the pack of the Bloody Wolves which
assaulted us was…… Takumi? They saved us. Nevertheless, Wald. You have brought an
outrageous fellow along. He defeated the enemies all of us couldn’t match without getting
hurt」
「Although I was the one who brought Takumi and the children along, I didn’t know that
much about his real ability. Speaking frankly, it was unexpected」
It’s tough being the subject of the topic, though……
I can’t even leave because Wald-sama forcefully made me sit next to him……
「It’s hard to believe, isn’t it?」
「Brad, it’s certain that Takumi-san possesses tremendous ability」
「Isaac? I see… Even without conclusive evidence, if you are the one saying so, it must
be true…」
The leader of the last team to join up, Vice Captain of the Third Unit of Shirin Knights,
Brad Ganforg-sama listens with a bewildered expression.
「Hahaha~ Takumi doesn’t look strong at all, after all~」
「Uwa!」
Wald-sama claps on my back while laughing.
Slightly painful…… moreover, above all, my whole body is shaking.
「Captain again…… the children will kick you flying, you know?」
The kids growl while glaring at Wald-sama again.
When Risner-sama brings it up, they are already ready to jump at any moment.
「「Uu~」」
「I, I’m not bullying him or anything!?」
Wald-sama defends himself in panic, but the two didn’t stop growling at him.
「Allen-kun, Elena-san. Next time Captain does something rude, it’s all right to kick him
flying okay? However, make sure he doesn’t die in the process please」
「「Un!」」
「Oi!? Isaac, why are you giving them permission on your own!?」
「It’s all right. I told them to not kill you. Start learning please if you find it
disagreeable」
「………」
Hahaha~ If you tell that to the children, they will really kick Wald-sama flying, you
know? Allen and Elena responded with sparkling eyes…
Rather, aren’t those two relatively good with Risner-sama? Moreover, it’s because he
always stops Wald-sama when he jabs me… is that really because of that simple reason?
Also, isn’t the way Risner-sama is handling Wald-sama gradually getting rougher?
「Iya~ Looking at the children, I got worried that our Captain is too much of a good for
nothing. I intend to take this opportunity to make him learn properly」
「Haa…… is that so?」
As if hearing the voice in my mind, Risner-sama answers while smiling.
Your face is smiling, but your eyes are not!? Just how much trouble does Wald-sama bring
to Risner-sama every day!?
「「Can’t~?」」
They probably saw my troubled expression. Allen and Elena ask to confirm. However, if
these two plead me like that…… I can’t refuse.
「Ah~… You got Risner-sama’s permission so… is that really alright?」
「Yes, I don’t mind」
「Oi!?」
「Want to have a kick at once?」
「「Can I?」」
「Why!?」
Tierra-sama, Ganforg-sama and everyone around who heard our conversation starts
laughing.
Wald-sama starts looking around timidly.
「However, don’t you think the forest is a bit strange?」
After the laughing calmed down, Teirra-sama suddenly says with a serious expression.
「Yes. Our unit encountered almost no monsters since yesterday. Speaking frankly, it’s
strange」
Ganforg-sama reports while frowning.
「I was thinking it’s strange since a while ago. Rudolph-san is of the same opinion」
「Ah. The number of monsters we have encountered is too few. Despite that, the monsters
attack in groups」
Every subjugation unit feels that something strange is going on in the forest.
Based on that, we should be talking about the future plan.
「「Ah」」
「N? Is something the… matter……!!」
In the middle of the conversation, Allen and Elena suddenly leak out small voices.
Feeling somehow uncomfortable, I look towards the direction the two are looking at.
There, I see a big serpent coiled around a thick tree aiming at us.
「Wha…! Above!!」
I raise my voice to notify the others who didn’t notice yet.
What a thing! My attention was elsewhere so I wasn’t aware something like that got so
close to us.
「Wha!!!」
「!!!!!」
Shurushuru the sound of hissing resounds.
Everyone is lost for words because of its size.
「… Evil Viper!!」
An enormous snake tens of meters in length. An A-Rank monster, Evil Viper has
appeared.
Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children
While Being an Adventurer~ - Chapter 29
CHAPTER 29 – VS. WICKED SNAKE
「Sha――――――!!」
Evil Viper jumps down from the tree with its mouth open wide.
「「「Uwa―――――!!」」」
It swoops down on the Knights who were resting near the tree.
「「Yaa!」」
Allen and Elena had approached the Evil Viper before I noticed, they get past the Knights,
ready to kick the Evil Viper’s jaw.
「! Allen, Elena get away!《Wind Cutter》」
I quickly get the two in panic and release a Wind Cutter.
Allen, Elena… when did you move there? No, un…… you have excellent moves, but…
don’t surprise me like that……
The Evil Viper got pushed 1-2 meters away, but there was no visible damage.
「Earth, penetrate《Earth Needle》」
Several sharp pillars project from the ground in pursuit of the Evil Viper.
「You guys, quickly withdraw!」
Farius Tierra-sama shouts loudly and evacuates the Knights who are near the Evil Viper.
The one who used who used the Earth Magic a little while ago was apparently Tierra-
sama.
The Tierra House is famous for producing people specialized in Earth Magic. He himself
is probably a knight with Earth Magic as a specialty.
「Takumi, right? You were great help」
「No, Tierra-sama had a great follow-up」
「I don’t like being called with my house name. Farius is all right. Rather than those,
these pipsqueaks are amazing. They reacted faster than anyone」
「These two acted intuitively…」
Farius-sama stands beside and adresses me.
If not for this situation, I would like to have a nice long talk, but we can’t afford that at the
moment.
「Evil Viper, huh. A nasty fellow has appeared. Oi, wounded people fall back! Don’t get
in the way or all of us will die」
Rudolph-san clicks his tongue, prepares his halberd and tells the injured to stay away.
I also give instructions to Allen and Elena to stay away from the Evil Viper.
「Iris, Gilm! You two provide support. Zack! Don’t act carelessly!!」
「I know!!」
Iris-san and Gilm-san take some distance, and set up their bows and throwing knives.
Zack-san draws his sword and lines up beside Rudolph-san.
「Gill, provide support」
From another party,『Flaming Soldiers Troupe』, swordsmen Gantz-san and Mick-san,
and a mage Gillbard-san take battle positions.
The Knights who can move also draw their swords.
As expected, the half of the Knights that were attacked by the Bloody Wolves and『Black
Twin Sword』party fell back.
「Seiya!!」
When the battle preparations finished, Rudolph-san begins by slashing his halberd.
「Tsk! Ineffective as I expected. Didn’t leave a single scratch」
It has received almost no damage so far.
Evil Viper’s body――its shiny black surface doesn’t get damaged by both physical
attacks and magic. It’s a first-grade material for protective gear. Soft and light attacks
won’t injure it.
―――Doshin.
Evil Viper’s tail strikes the ground.
Uo! What a terrible sound. If that hits, won’t one receives a good amount of damage?
「Ha!」
「Yaa!」
「Fire, congregate《Fire Ball》」
「Light, pierce《Light Arrow》」
Offensive ranged attacks. Magic attacks. One after another hits the target, but to no effect.
Where is its weak point?
I observe the Evil Viper while shooting magic.
「「「Guwa!!」」」
Some of the knights get blown away by the viper’s tail.
The Evil Viper hisses as if sneering at us.
And the next moment, it rushes towards Zack-san.
Fast!
「Gu!!」
Zack-san tried to avoid, but the Evil Viper curved it’s body and instantly changed
directions. It rammed into him, and he got blown off.
Furthermore, it continues to charge into other knights.
「「Unyuu~」」
Eeeeh~!?
Allen and Elena caught the Evil Viper’s tail and stopped its charge.
Again!? Mou~ why don’t you obediently wait for me~!!
The Evil Viper’s charge was stopped thanks to those two? The damage has been thereby
suppressed, but… However, see, because you stopped the Evil Viper’s charge, it turned
towards you two~!
「Allen, Elena! It’s dangerous so release the tail and get away from it!!」
I immediately retrieve a knife from《Infinite Storage》.
Then, I throw it at the Evil Viper who is glaring at Allen and Elena.
If the skin is hard, how about its eyes?
「Sha―――――――!!」
The skillfully thrown knife stabs into the Evil Viper’s left eye.
The Evil Viper shouts in pain and starts violently thrashing around.
Dotan, batan, the sound of the ground getting hit resounds.
「Nice, Takumi! Haaaa!」
Wald-sama envelops his sword with a flame and slashes at the Evil Viper.
Is that a magic sword?
Ju… the sound and smell of burning spreads. The attack seemed to work a bit, but Wald-
sama’s sword was repelled.
Then, the one-eyed Evil Viper furiously stares over here――at me.
I suddenly had an unpleasant feeling. And I at once averted my gaze from Allen and
Elena.
「「Ukya!」」
It aimed for that moment.
The Evil Viper hit Allen and Elena with all its might.
「Allen! Elena!!」
The two are blown two meters away.
Shit! What a terrible mistake!
「Iris!」
「Understood!」
At Rudolph-san instructions, Iris-san rushes to the two.
「……」
I also wanted to run over immediately.
However, the one-eyed Evil Viper aimed for me as it fixedly watched me.
If I run over to Allen and Elena now, the Evil Viper will definitely charge at me.
Therefore, I can’t leave from this place.
「it’s okay. They will be able to get up immediately」
「Yes, I know」
Rudolph-san calls out to me who is worried about the children.
Certainly, Allen and Elena got up immediately.
Therefore, I calm myself down, but a certain emotion gushes out.
「… Rudolph-san, can you gain me a bit of time?」
「What do you plan to do?」
「I will use an advanced Wind Magic」
「…………… You can use it?」
「I have never used it before. However, I feel like I will definitely be able to use it now」
Un, there’s no problem proficiency wise. I should be able to use it.
Even if I normally wouldn’t, I feel like I would be able to do anything at this moment.
「………… I understand. Leave it to us」
「Thank you. Separate from the Evil Viper on my sign please. If possible, please evacuate
behind me」
「Roger」
After requesting Rudolph-san, I start gathering a significant amount of magical power.
I extend my right hand and concentrate all the magical power I gather into it.
How much…… is this much okay?
I give the signal to Rudolph-san, and everyone evacuates behind me. And then, I activate
the magic.
The Evil Viper who wasn’t being restricted anymore started creeping towards me.
「Sha――――――!」
The Evil Viper creeping on the ground raises its head and cries out.
「Wind. Reap my enemy《Wind Edge》」
Just like reaping grass with a sickle…… a wind scythe aims towards the Evil Viper’s
neck.
―――Zashu!!!
The condensed wind explodes.
That instant, the Evil Viper’s head supan snapped and rolled on the ground. Without the
head, the rest of the body crumbled to the ground.
The moment I thought it’s finally over――
――――Mishimishi… doshin, mishimishi… doshin!
「Ge!」
Three trees thick as four adult men joining hands, fall to the ground.
The wind flew far better than I expected.
『……………………』
「Ahahahahahaha~~」
Shit! I used too much magical power……
And I even thought I stopped increasing magical power at the right moment……
It looks like if I used a bit more magical power, there would be a recreation spot created
inside the forest.
Advanced magic, scary!
The spectacle of an A-Rank monster was splendidly blown away.

=====
My level increased considerably, and my skill proficiencies rose too.
A new entry,【Contracted Beasts】appeared.
And, strangely, I have obtained【Water Magic】.
Because its proficiency is not in the single digits, I think it means that I didn’t learn it
naturally, but it’s something that I was given. It’s not something the Wind God Syl could
give me directly, but I think he somehow has his hands in it.
Speaking of Water Magic, it’s something Allen and Elena have, but never learned how to
use it.
But, unlike the advanced knowledge about Wind Magic that was implemented into me, I
have little to no knowledge about Water Magic…
In the first place, because all the knowledge about the use of magic was implemented, I
have no idea how to teach them.
Would they sell magic books in the bookstores? Let’s look for a bookstore later.
Takumi-san!」
We visit the Adventurer’s Guild today. It’s to complete the procedures required for us to
receive the Gaya Forest expedition request reward.
Risner-sama said to come to the guild to receive the reward the other day.
When we enter the building, Luna-san jumps out from behind the counter.
「Luna-san? What’s the matter?」
「I was waiting for you!! Now then, let’s go to the Guild Master! Hey, quickly! Allen-
kun, Elena-chan too, come quickly」
「「!! Onii~chan~」」
Guild Master?
While not understanding, Luna-san drags me deeper into the guild, and takes me to the
Guild Master’s office. Allen and Elena trot after me while confused.
「Master, Takumi-san has arrived so I brought him」
「Ah, come in」
When Luna-san knocked at the door and stated her business, she immediately received a
response from the other side.
When I opened the door, I saw a man with gray hair sitting on the front office desk. The
man stands from his chair and shows us inside.
「I work as the Master of Shirin’s Adventurer’s Guild. Johann is my name」
「I’m Takumi Kayano. These children are Allen and Elena. It’s nice to meet you」
This man is the Guild Master. He seems to know about me, but I introduced myself just in
case.
The Guild Master urges us to sit on a sofa in the middle of the room. I sit on the sofa as
told, Allen and Elena sit on both of my sides.
「……. This man? He doesn’t seem like it…… However, if Ruven-dono and Rudolph-
dono are saying so, it can’t be wrong……」
Wald-sama and Rudolph-san?
While I let Allen and Elena sit down on the sofa, the Guild Master mutters something to
himself. I wasn’t able to hear properly, but the two’s names came up, right?
「…… Umm?」
「Oh no, I was told leaving your rank as is would be foolish. However, you don’t look
that strong to me……」
It appears that the business was about a rank up.
Which reminds me, Wald-sama and Rudolph-san were talking about something like that in
the Gaya Forest. The talk went quite quickly……
And then, the Guild Master looks directly at me and states bluntly.
「Don’t think badly of me. I have initially raised to the post of Guild Master by doing
secretary work, I don’t know much about fighting. But, seeing adventurers for so long I
have developed an eye for strong individuals, but…… unlike the other adventurers I have
seen before…… I don’t understand well…」
To adventurers, being told『You don’t look that strong』is something that would make
them angry.
Actually, since my neurons were destroyed once before……
Therefore, the Guild Master’s standard for judging adventurers can’t be applied to me.
Also, the aura of the strong? Is it because I don’t have something like that?
At any rate, I didn’t go through the “getting stronger little by little” process, so it’s
impossible to have that.
「…… Well, you real ability was without a doubt endorsed by those two. I intend to make
you an A-Rank」
「Eeh? A-Rank!?」
I thought it would be C-Rank, but A-Rank?
To be honest, I got so surprised a strange voice left my mouth.
「What about examination and such?」
「There’s no problem since Ruven-dono and Rudolph-dono confirmed your ability. You
have defeated Bloody Wolves and Evil Viper, right?」
You have completely given up your judgment of me not looking that strong, didn’t
you…… is it okay to rank up that easily?
Whether it is a nobility and captain of the Knight Wald-sama or Rudolph-san who is a
high-rank adventurer who guaranteed my ability, it is, after all, information from someone
else. But, if the Guild Master accepted it so quickly, he must trust those two quite a lot.
「So, an A-Rank?」
「The Guild Master’s authority can grant rank only up to A-Rank. An approval of several
Guild Masters is needed for S-Rank, so that’s indeed impossible for me」
It’s the opposite, opposite! I was uneasy because my rank raised too much!
Nobody can complain about not becoming an S-Rank!
「According from what I heard, those children are also strong. What do you want to
do?」
「…… What to do?」
「I can also give rank to these children, but if children like that receive a high rank it will
most likely have the opposite effect. But, if they at E-Rank you won’t be able to accept
high-rank requests because your party will stay at low level」
Ah, indeed.
Because the members’ average rank determines the party rank, the party rank at this rate
would be “D” I think?
It’s not problem for me, but if the Guild needed me to take a request I would be able
to……
He asked for our convenience rather than going straight for the profit first.
Chirari, when I glance at Allen and Elena, they obediently sit while smiling at me. They
are not alerted at all.
It’s no doubt that this Guild Master is a good person.
In that case, let’s compromise.
「I’m okay without raising the rank of the two, but…… if it’s a problem for the guild how
about increasing their rank to D?」
「Fumu~ If that’s the case…… the party rank would be C? That is reasonable……」
If Allen and Elena become D-Rank, the party rank will become C. It’s possible to receive
requests that are one rank higher, in other words, B-Rank requests. A-Rank requests are
very rare, so we will be able to receive almost every requests.
「Umu. Well then, let’s finish the procedure」
◇◇◇
We left the office of the Guild Master, went to the counter to update the Guild Card, and
received the reward which was our original purpose of coming here.
When everything was over, Luna-san looked at me with sparkling eyes as if she was
expecting something.
「Now then, Takumi-san!」
「Umm…… what is it?」
Did Luna-san and I make some kind of a promise?
「Materials, the materials~! Please sell me the materials from Gaya Forest~ I have
received info from Rudolph-san that Takumi-san has a lot in his possession!」
「Ah, so it’s about that」
「That’s right! I have waited for Takumi-san’s arrival!」
It seems that she marked the Gaya Forest materials. Indeed, Luna-san said something
like『Please get a lot』.
I have several Red Wolves and Bloody Wolves so it may not be a bad idea to sell them.
And then some medicinal plants? Allen and Elena worked hard and got a lot, so it may be
alright to sell some?
「Should I take them out here?」
「Ah! That’s right, sorry. But, it’s okay! I have secured the biggest warehouse that will
even fit the Evil Viper! I will lead you there right away~」
Luna-san knew I have Evil Viper in my possession. Did you heart that from Rudolph-san
too……
Ah, that’s right, I’m in charge of looking after the Evil Viper, but the Knights and the other
three adventurer parties gave up their rights. Indeed, I refrained from receiving a whole
corpse of an A-Rank monster, but…… I was ignored.
Therefore, the whole Evil Viper eventually became ours.
「Over here」
We were taken to the Guild’s largest warehouse. Certainly, if it’s this place, it will fit if
straight, but it will be pretty close if the body bends.
Luna-san contacted the dismantling staff beforehand. They are full of motivation.
But, there’s something I have to check first.
「I’d like the Evil Viper’s skin for our protective skin, but…」
Because I felt like it’s not needed, we didn’t use protective gear until now.
A normal shirt and pants with some magic tool accessories are what I usually use.
Allen and Elena are the same.
However, after Allen and Elena received an attack, I started thinking it may not be that
bad to use it.
Heavy armor is not possible, but leather breastplate, gauntlets and such would be good.
Also, strong boots that suit Allen’s and Elena’s fighting style.
BI think that the Evil Viper’s skin is ideal for that.
「Ngu! Not all of it, right!? You will sell us a bit, right!?」
When I tell that I’m unwilling to sell the Evil Viper skin, Luna-san goes into a panic.
「Is there something?」
「To tell the truth…… the Merchant Guild who caught the rumors are persistently
contacting us」
Ah, so it’s something like that. They probably heard from the Knights or the adventurers
that were with us. They probably contacted the Adventurer’s Guild immediately after that.
It seems they are eager for profit.
「It’s large, after all. Of course, I won’t be needing everything, I will properly sell」
「Really! Thank you very much!」
Rudolph-san said that Evil Viper’s blood is precious. I retrieve the corpse from
the《Infinite Storage》.
「Uwa~」「… So big」「Amazing!」
Seeing the Evil Viper’s body, the entranced staff in the warehouse leak voices of
amazement.
「Hey! Everyone, stop staring blanky and begin to work!」
The staff came to their senses after hearing Luna-san and start working on the Evil Viper.
Although Evil Viper’s skin is very hard when it’s alive, it’s quite easier to handle once it
died. That being said, it would still be impossible without special Mithril knives and good
strength.
「Because the dismantling takes time, should we talk about the sale in the meantime? The
dismantled materials will be held in the Guild’s warehouse, will you come for it
tomorrow?」「I understand. Also, I would like to sell this too, please」
Red Wolf, Bloody Wolf, Giant Boar, Great Monkey. Also medicinal plants. It was not
everything I have, but I take out what I thought would be good to sell from the《Infinite
Storage》.
They are not all from the Gaya Forest, but they came from Aetherdia, so there shouldn’t
be a problem?
「Kya―――――!!!」
Luna-san who saw the goods I took out screams in joy.
Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children
While Being an Adventurer~ - Chapter 33
I’m sorry, I lost it a bit…… Ah, right, right. Takumi-san, the Head of the Woodworking
Department of the Craftsman Guild said that he wanted to see you」
Luna-san whose sanity has returned suddenly recalls something.
The Craftsmen Guild is as the name suggest a guild where craftsmen register, in other
words, a commercial and industrial organization.
Woodworking Department――Craftsmen specializing in wood processing such as
carpenters and furniture craftsmen.
Blacksmithing Department――Craftsmen specializing in a metal processing of weapons,
armors, cooking utensils and such.
Cooking Department――Craftstmen specializing in food such as bakers and chefs.
Medical Department――Craftsmen specializing in medical treatment such as therapists
and pharmacists.
―― And so on. There are much more various departments.
It’s a place to regulate and share information, to arrange work and disciples, and to create
connections between craftsmen.
「Craftsmen Guild wants to see me?」
「Yes. Takumi-san brought large trees from the Gaya Forest, right? I think they probably
want to buy those from you……」
「………」
Luna-san…… You know even about the trees that I have knocked down and collected?
Moreover, it’s not only known to the Adventurer’s Guild, but even the Craftsmen Guild
knows of it?
Evil Viper, trees…… just how much information do you have…… Although it’s not
regulated, don’t you know way too much? It has only been a day since then you know?
I left the adventurer guild and decided to head towards the craftsman guild while dropping
my shoulders at the information leak.
◇◇◇
「Hello」
After leaving the Craftsmen Guild, I visited the『Gold Wheat’s Shop』.
Ünexpectedly, long time no see? The last time I came was before conquering the dungeon.
「Ou, Takumi……」
「Are, you look somehow down? There are also no products even though it’s just past
afternoon?」
Road-san’s complexion was bad at first glance. In addition, there were no products lined
on the shelves. There should be many products lined up with customers lining up until the
evening, but……
What happened?
「Road-san?」
「No…… you see……」
Road-san begins to speak in a small voice.
His story was like this――
This noble coerced him『Sell the Cream bread』by using his power.
Road-san didn’t defy and made Cream bread with all ingredients he had left.
It seems to have ended at that time.
However, that noble told him to teach him the Cream bread’s recipe next. Naturally, Road-
san didn’t respond to that.
A recipe is cook’s treasure. It’s not something that could be given out so easily.
Besides, I was the one who taught him the Cream bread recipe so it’s not something he
could teach others on his own.
Is he too loyal or what should I say…… Road-san is an extremely diligent craftsman. But,
I have good feelings about Road-san because he’s like that.
After declining him, the noble started making an uproar『They stole our secret recipe』
this time. Furthermore, he pressured other stores not to sell the wheat flour which is
always necessary for a bakery to『Gold Wheat’s Shop』.
If there is no flour, he can’t make bread.
――Because of that, he had no choice and suspended the business.
What a dirty thing to do!
「If you told the Cream bread recipe, the opponent would pull back, but telling him
obediently would be unpleasant…… Road-san. I’d like to investigate for a bit, could you
wait for a few days?」
「Of course, I have no objections. It would be annoying just to give up after resisting this
much. Rather, sorry for taking your time」
「Please don’t mind it. I’m not unrelated to this matter either」
Speaking of which, it’s my fault for teaching Road-san.
Besides, I don’t like people who use such dirty means. I feel like beating him up.
Un? It’s okay, I won’t beat him up physically. I can do it though if it’s the present me. But,
because the opponent is a noble, I would most likely become a criminal?
「Ah, right. I almost forgot. I would like a bit larger amount of bread made, would that be
alright? I will be using the ingredients I have at me」
「Ah, I don’t mind. I’m free anyway」
「Then, I would like this please」
I retrieve the necessary ingredients from the《Infinite Storage》, hand over the paper with
number and types of bread to Road-san and left the store after saying I will come
tomorrow again.
Now then, let’s start with collecting information!
Isekai Yururi Kikou ~Raising Children
While Being an Adventurer~ - Chapter 34
The name of the noble who is applying pressure on Road-san is a baron from Guardia
called Gilbert.
The mastermind unexpectedly became apparent. I went to the store where Road-san
usually buys ingredients, and when I asked the shop assistant, he answered me. Plainly.
The person in the shop didn’t want to do it, but『I couldn’t go against a noble. I’m really
sorry to Road-san』he said.
“The slave trade”, the trade of people is authorized in this country. And there are two
kinds of slaves. Crime slaves and Debt slaves.
Crime slaves, as the name suggests are people who committed a crime. They are forcibly
sent to mines where they have to do manual labor while strictly monitored.
The other one, Debt slaves are people who couldn’t return borrowed money and those who
sold themselves. If they can pay off their principal, they will be released.
They are used as a work force, but their human rights are guaranteed. Therefore, there’s an
obligation to provide meals and minimum necessities of life.
But, owners who treat them like products, not following the responsibility to protect them,
and make them do criminal acts are never ceasing. This trader is one of those.
The patrolling guards and the curious onlookers realize that and look at the slave trader
with cold eyes.
「If it’s the shop assistant of my shop, he can provide the proof!」
「If you tell that to your shop assistant, it will become an order. It won’t be a proof」
It’s easy making things convenient for yourself.
Rather, this must be a daily routine for this fellow.
「Even if it’s truth that these children resemble the children from your shop, it’s not
restricted only to these children, right? You are a criminal who kidnaps children. Weren’t
the children slaves in your shop actually kidnapped?」
The patrols and the onlookers hold their breath at my words. I hear『Surely not』from
here and there.
With the interaction so far, it has become “It wouldn’t be strange if true”.
「Let us hear more detailed story back at the station」
「What have you said!?」
The patrol restricts the slave trader and drags him off.
「I would like to hear your side of the story too, but……」
「I don’t want to go to the same place as the trader. The children are frightened」
I didn’t feel the obligation to go to the station with the guards, so I refused. The patrol
guard seemed to understand and didn’t force me to go.
But, I told him my name in case something comes up.
The patrol leaves, the onlookers scatter, I hold Allen and Elena in my arms and
immediately leave the place.
「「Onii~chan……」」
「Everything’s all right. I will be with you as long as Allen and Elena want to stay by my
side」
「「Un……」」
When I reassure Allen and Elena who are full of anxiety, they cling in my arms even
stronger.
