The morning came.

I easily raised my level with Asha’s breakfast.

It’s like this together with last night’s drinking.

Well, it is just a normal level without significant difference.

Although, it’s like this if it’s compared to the adventurers around.

It means that a difference of 30 levels is very significant!

Anyways, I finished eating my breakfast.

I let Laura eat the remaining food by letting her open her mouth wide.

It is the useless goddess, as usual, being fed with the daily food.

“We’re going after we finish eating okay?”

“([]nGunGunGu), su wher?”

“I want to test many things. I mean, don’t talk while eating.”

“nGu.”

Laura closed her mouth. []MoguMoguMogu, she chewed.

“What do you mean by, experiments......?”

“It’s about Femil.”

“It is about me huh......”

“Well, I’ll explain later on about that.”

We went to the guild after finishing our meal.

I searched for some kind of quest.

Quest

It’s dynamic chopping firewood1!!

Difficulty

I want B or C!

But if you have confidence in your power, I don’t might if it is G!!!

Rewards

The basic salary is 4000!

But depending on your hard work, it can be 20000 or 30000!

It is not just chopping firewood.

It’s Dynamic Chopping Firewood.

I can imagine how dynamic it is from how its name and rewards are.

“Just a suitable quest.”

“Ehhhh?!”

“What is it? Femil.”

“D-D-D-Did you not see the notation?!! The recommended rank is B or C you know?!!”

“Isn’t G is alright too written as well.”

“That is true, but......”

“That is my Kehma after all! It is alright like great and famous!”

“You trust in him, huh............”

“W-W-W-W-Well, if it comes to his skills that is!”

When Femil said that with the look of aspiration, Laura acted weirdly with a red face.

How can I say this, this makes me disconcerted.

We came to the quest’s place.

There is a small weapon’s shop there.

Although I said it is small, it is bright inside the store, and the prices are high as well.

One short sword costs 200000.

“It was a quest from the Golden Prairie, huh......”

“Do you know about it? Femil.”

“It is one of the several trading groups.

They are the people who have the motto of『Good quality is expensive naturally』and in return for having good quality, they sell at an appropriate price.”

“I see.”

I picked up one sword.

The sword’s blade that shone really seemed sharp.

To test it, I pulled out one hair and dropped it.

The instant the sword’s blade touched the hair, it cuts it cleanly.

It’s this sharp with just a short sword.

It’s better to think that their skills are quite good.

I went to the back of the store and went towards the counter.

Short blonde hair and goth lolita clothes.

I called out to the girl with beast ears growing on where humans ears are.

“I came for the chopping firewood quest.”

“You are the one who accepted the quest this time huh!”

“Yes, that is right.”

“You’re so thin???. Do you eat meat?!!”

“I think that you shouldn’t say that because you’re pretty much the same?”

“To think that you would ridicule this Golden Princess, Lalana Highlord. Can I take that as a declaration of war against the Golden Prairie?”

“If you’re saying something like that, if you’re making a fool Kehma, that’s a declaration of war against me!!”

“It means that it’s war huh!!”

Where in the world did she take it out? The girlーーLalana pulled out her axe.

“Fueeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!”

The goddess that is useless got frightened in an instant.

She made a face that is about to cry within three seconds and clung to my body.

“You, really......”

I could only look at her, but I’m happy because she defended me for an instant.

I embraced her as if to protect her and said to Lalana.

“Don’t bully her too much.

This girl, she’s an important existence for me.”

“Kehma......?”

Laura became entranced and flushed her cheeks.

I embraced her strongly and whispered.

“This damn small fry Laura who acted so cool, but is immediately about to cry, she’s my property......

This damn trash of a girl with a sexy body is a bullied meat slave just for me......!!”

“So cruel?! Aren’t you so cruel that it exceeds just a little?!!”

“You’re so cute......

Laura, you’re so cute......

You when you are being bullied by me, is like an angel......!”

“Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”

No sadist!! Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”

Laura strongly struggled, but I intentionally did not let her go. I rubbed my cheeks against her and looked how lovely she is.

After seeing her loveliness for a while, I returned to a serious face.

“But well, leaving the jokes aside......”

“Joke?! Is it is it really, really a joke?!!”

“Of course right?”

“You have a beautiful and fresh face, but I somewhat feel bad?!!”

“Anyways, I’ll go and chop firewood or whatever, just guide me.”

“U-Umu......”

Lalana nodded as she felt like backing away.

We were guided to the back garden.

“What I want to use as firewood, is this.”

“This......?”

“Umu, it’s this.”

“No matter how you look at it, it only looks like five chunk of black boulders were lined up......”

“If you talk about firewood in our industry, it means this so it cannot be helped?.”

Lalana swung her axe with a one-sided blade that is 140cm long including its handle that is as tall as her.

“Ssei!!”

“Doryaa!!”

“Uryaaa!!!”

She swung down, she swung to the side, making the chunk of boulders into a square.

And even so, there is still one-meter height and width.

Lalana cuts off a part of its edge like a bar of sweet jellied adzuki‐bean paste.

She places it on a steel stump and strikes it like “Serryaa!!”, “Serryaaa!!”.

And after that, it became square blocks that are 5cm each.

“And so, it’s like that.”

“What a beautiful firewood!!”

“It is really beautiful, huh......”

“This, is it really firewood?!!”

“Isn’t it firewood no matter how you look at it?”

“It’s firewood no matter you look at it.”

“No matter you look at it, I think it is firewood......[]pyon.”

It looks like this thing,『No matter how you look at it』it’s firewood in this world.”

“You only need to make one of those as firewood before the sun sets.

It is 4000 Barse with that.

If you have leeway, do the remaining blocks as well. It is 4000 Barse per block.”

“If it’s 4000 Barse per one, it’s only 20000 even if all of it was taken care of right?

I feel like it was written in the quest paper you would pay 30000 too.”

“If you make firewood out of all of it, I’ll pay it as a bonus.”

Lalana who answered casually laughed.

“Well, I don’t think you can do it though.”

“Is that so?”

“This Golden Princess, an executive of the Golden Prairie can’t do it you know?

There is no way that an adventurer out of nowhere can do it.”

Lalana said with full confidence. I carefully made a sign to Laura.

Laura used her Identify and touched my hand.

She showed me Lalana’s status using the Sense Sharing power.

Blacksmithing LV4 80/500

◆ Race Explanation?Dwalf

The descendants of the race that are said to be born between the Originator Dwarf and Originator Elf.

It is completely random which characteristics they will be born with.

Having many people with golden hairs, and having plenty of excellent talents, the organization that manages them is called『Golden Prairie』.

She’s strong just like how she said it.

It is the first three-digit level excluding me and that forest’s monsters.

If her axe can be said as a high-level class, then her blacksmithing is master-class.

Well, she’s not my opponent though.

I mean, having this much is already a great person in this world huh.

I feel like the Lion and Boar are too strong, but the power balance in Earth was like that as well.

It just means that『Guys who can defeat monsters without using weapons are inhuman』, whatever world it is.
