Day 361
He is the chosen of the 【God of the Sun】, the 【Hero of Sunlight】. The village in which he was born and raised was destroyed along with all the villagers that had been living there, including the one he dearly loved, leaving him with nothing but a vow of vengeance.
His real name, Sigurd-Eighth-Sven. The first time I met him was in front of his murdered lover, and we ended up fighting when he was in the grips of his rage and need for vengeance, but I was able to escape without being totally swept up by it.
His eyes were dyed by hatred at the time, so that all around had been seen as the enemy.
Once he reached the state of 【Mad Warrior Berserker】 he mounted an attack, targeting anyone, regardless of their being friend or foe. Even though I was already an Apostle Lord at the time, I was attacked by his runaway rage.
However he was dominated by feelings of anger and his movements were monotonous and linear, but they were certainly faster than normal because he was running at full power, with no thought of the consequences. It was a simple matter to deal with him, because his movements were so easy to read and, with only speed going for him, the fight ended with his defeat, with barely any struggle as a result.
Afterwards he returned to his senses, and asked for the power to get his revenge, signing on as a subordinate with me.
---
After that he trained from day-to-day, along with new companions who he met through many twists and turns, leading to the battle against the enemy Insect hero in the previous [Holy War].
After he prepared his part of the battlefield, hiring on a huge number of magicians, up to the last minute, while wounded along with my companions, they killed the Insect hero that had become a variant of a huge Insect demon, letting his revenge play out brilliantly.
After finishing the [Holy War], he departed alone in order to visit the tomb of his lover and, separated from his colleagues, a couple days passed. This morning, he returned to the Great Forest base with the sunrise.
Coming back along with that sunshine, he seemed to have become a different person.
Before, he had worn a constantly gloomy atmosphere, a man who was honest a wet blanket.
In his eyes dwelt a light stained with revenge and madness, a consciousness honed towards the targeted revenge, but still sharp enough to hesitate in approaching the evil.
While greedily seeking power, in a certain field of battle there had been a day-to-day heated discussion led by the Dontetsu knight.
He was a man who lived for just that purpose, constantly pushing towards his revenge.
However, after returning home he had no such purpose left, the 【Hero of Sunlight】 had become a good young man who welcomed the fresh morning sun.
Honestly, I cannot hide my surprise in the transfiguration of that first sight.
Who is this guy?
"Good morning, master. It seems that today will be a nice day." That was delivered with a refreshing smile, and I reacted defensively.
Wow, what is this bad feeling?
There was a sense of discomfort that left me with goose bumps.
Eyeing the person in front of me with suspicion to figure out whether or not he is a fake, I observed him thoroughly and in detail, listening to the various stories surrounding him leading to the conclusion that, apparently, this is how he originally was.
This means that he is no longer in the avenger, only focused on revenge, you could say that he has regained the original appearance as the 【Hero of Sunlight】 chosen by the 【God of sunlight】.
But it is still a change, and not a fake.
If he was, the minute body 【Parasite】 would be missing inside Avenger. The level of darkness in him has returned to a more stable balance.
There is also a dark atmosphere around him at the moment, it can be seen that the existence of his Ying and Yang balance is formed from the dark part along with the newly formed light.
Like the two sides of a coin, there are two sides to anyone.
If you do believe so, I am convinced that it's that kind of thing.
I was surprised even in the morning but, taking care, tried fighting his new balanced self in the morning training.
Defeating the Insect hero seems to have further raised his base level ability, letting him become even stronger in the future.
After completing the training, and enjoying lunch from the sisters who carefully crafted the taste, I later changed location along with Kanami-chan using the 【Demon Howl Gate】 to reach 【Holy Seafoods Cavity Of The Fierce God】 .
Using the【Demon Howl Gate】 , we exited in a submerged cave, a certain room that I've created.
Here, members can leave the 【Demon Howl Gate】 which is installed in the center of the room. It is a square room of about thirty meters and the entire area was prepared in order for them to move freely through the water filled 【Holy Seafoods Cavity Of The Fierce God】.
Since, basically, only clan members can access this place, there is no road that leads directly here so that an outsider cannot wander in by mistake, so there is no way to enter or exit the room except through the warp gate.
Kanami-chan and I came here, through such a secret room, after preparing for a day out by ourselves.
Kanami-chan's race does poorly underwater - there's a danger that she will unconsciously freeze the surrounding area with her cold - so, after receiving it earlier and letting it remain in my item box, we decided to go with 【Vesper's Outer Shell: Octorp】.
This is an 【Ancient】 class magic item that we received by clearing the previous 【Frontier Psalm〔Vesper Octorp〕】, with an effect that seems to cover the wearer in an exoskeleton in the shapes of a High Octorp.
This is a transformation that can work without problems in the water, but this time it was very much different from before, creating a different shape.
When I used it, it was shaped nearly like a High Octorp, but now it fit closer to the female body for Kanami-chan to use it.
The head comes with something like a coronet tiara made of shark bones, it grows tentacles like an octopus and moray eels from the back, and the lower body is spread casually like a dress in the shape of a sea anemone.
Although the upper body does not change much, Kanami-chan gained a kind of atmosphere such as a queen that rules the ocean, which I don't mind at all because that is little different from the everyday, but it is more of a thicker presence.
I tried thinking of my options for a moment but as I couldn't come up with a better idea, I have settled on wearing 【Thundershark Dragonlord's Scales】 that was already part of 【Equip Exoskeleton】.
Even if we were spotted by men and women from any age range there would be no problem, they would have only seen two people using strange magic items.
In addition to this, we triggered the ability 【Aquatic】, and started moving with Kanami-chan using a warp gate.
Our destination is quite a ways towards the back from the original entrance, where pillars of rocks made a compartment that created a shadowed overhang.
You should be careful when using a warp gate, as to being cautious so as not to be seen, just because there are people who could take advantage of any opening they can get to.
Thinking so, we moved around quickly to confirm no one else was around.
There was no sign of any other people around, and it seems we were not seen by anyone either. Being filled with peace of mind, I looked at whether Kanami-chan felt the same, but she seemed a little surprised by a strange feeling that suddenly appeared in the water.
Using 【Vesper's Outer Shell: Octorp】 she was able to breath easily, as well as being able to swim faster than a fish using the lower body part.
Still, after practicing with the 【Vesper's Outer Shell: Octorp】, we went on to collect several food items while enjoying our sea dating.
Since I've been here before, I know the different types of food-based items at hand, the number of fish-based monsters that swim around are more than enough, such as seaweed and shellfish. The amounts and variety are also in abundance.
We spent a large amount of time as a result of continuing to collect the noticeable items. About two hours, so the item box was stuffed with a large amount of food.
In outline, I thought it would be good enough to spend our time like this: an elaborate, fancy, and normal underwater date for us.
As a small school of fish swam by flashing their beautiful scales, it created an interesting sight to watch, leading to a good atmosphere.
After that, Kanami-chan and I returned to land and spent the rest of the day relaxing.
======
Day 362
Early in the morning, after spending the night in a luxury hotel named after the forest base Kikoku -it would be easy to recognize our base - we returned after a morning of training. After I had eaten I went to the «Workshop» where the Blacksmith-san's worked.
In the «Workshop» the craftsmen swung their hammers while streaming sweat, with the constant sound of them breathing life into metal resounding while scattering sparks.
The most important work of these members is maintaining our weapons and armor on a daily basis, and today my main job is to help the Blacksmith-san.
Like before, in the same way as not having the culinary skills to help the sisters, I could not directly lend a hand to the Blacksmith-san working at the smith's.
From Blacksmith-san's level of expertise, it would be like barely putting my foot a hair's length in, like an amateur.
As for what I can do, so far I have taken in about dozens, if not hundreds, of the magic metals that were mined and taken from each dungeon into my silver arms, making armor utensils for use in the «workshop» like the artisans desired of the alloy to be produced with the ingots.
Originally, it was necessary to prepare the magic metal alloy according to certain guidelines.
Although, with research, it is still possible to somehow work with a small amount, but it becomes quite difficult when it comes to making alloys in large quantities.
In my case though, I can take in a wide variety of magic metals in my silver arms only changing them into ingots while shifting the respective ratio needed.
An analogy would be easier to understand, the process would be like building some mass then kneading it like clay, making as many lumps as possible.
Getting a more accurate example would be tough, but this is close enough as a rough image.
Either way, this is too easy to do, but more than half of our visitors came to tour all of the work, it still would not have been meaningful like this.
I tried various mixtures while changing the ratio in a short period of time, led by the master dwarf that wields a huge hammer, they carefully craft various armors as our Blacksmith-san are serious enough you could not imagine a smiling expression as they continue forging.
Each dwarf enters a dedicated workshop, while flames are incessantly leaking from the furnaces that are using spirit stones.
High-pitched sounds come from the hammers hitting the magic alloys, violently flying sparks scattering incessantly.
Slowly and gradually, the work which has the soul of the craftsmen will be built.
There was certainly the mark of craftsmanship there.
So far their technology has been cultivated by practice, inherited and passed down first by tradition, it is the final result learned after countless trial and errors.
The characteristics of the magic metal that is used as a raw material, probably due to the【Job】 of 【Blacksmith】, can make an armor with magic, and afterwards it becomes sublimated into a magic item that surpasses any regular armor.
A Long Sword with improved sharpness and an added heat strike, a tower shield to prevent the wearer from attacks even by the wind, a sling staff that would generate gravel shots automatically, even such a mace that would strike again at the same time lightning as the initial strike, the items being worked on have a wide range.
The sight of a real blacksmith is simply fun to watch, and I was inspired by it, I also decided to try to build various things.
Of course, because Oniwaka is the child of Blacksmith-san he was there in the workshop with his mother in a corner, wielding a hammer alongside Oniwaka.
Material to be used is stacked in the corner, it is suitably the magic alloy extracted from my silver arms.
Since the magic alloy has a larger amount of mithril blended in it is slightly bluish.
With a whistling like a kettle and while being advised by the Blacksmith-san, Oniwaka struck with the hammer for a while.
What was finished by trial and error by Oniwaka was a thick knife, almost like a hatchet.
I just polished a horn in a corner, and fitted them with a magic alloy handle, but the material's sharpness to the material was outstanding.
Even dropping a rock is cut by its own weight, there is also 【Automatic Repair】 along with other various skills. It might be exactly good for disassembling knives when dismantling prey or for subordinate armor with good usability.
The one that was first completed and presented was to Oniwaka, and we planned to make more together for the rest of the children - Auro, Argento, Nicola, and Opushii, we decided to continue blacksmithing again.
I knew the way was already possible, so we would continue to the working as father and son.
Anyway since Nicola still can not be use it because she is the baby, the other kids are also pleased, so it ended up being good after all.
Because of this experience, I want to continue building things.
=======
Day 363
Today I visited each facility in the base.
However, there seemed to be no particular problem at the «Airport»,which is the air base for the refined dragons, in particular also the «Original Mine» and «Residential Area» that is the living area for our members in the settlement did not seem to have any major issue. There is nothing to see.
Since we already use the «External Training Grounds» frequently for large-scale combat training I really have nothing to visit today, so I just went to the same place as yesterday, to the «workshop» where the blacksmiths are.
Although it is worth it to visit the «Parabellum hot spring village», the number of non-elf customers has begun to increase recently, but it is going to take a bit more time, it will be even better at a later date.
That was why I headed to the other locations this time-
Dorianu and the agricultural dwarves are managing the «Large Farmland»
«Familiar Magic» bound such creatures as wolves, horses, bears, and other monsters that are then bred as domestic animals, such as Big Cocco, in the «Ranch» to have such as free-range livestock.
In the «Factory» we have mass-produced goods created by the production line system used by the black skeleton mechanism.
With the «Mall» we are selling the produced goods and it also serves as training for work outside the base in the future.
Finally, the «First Mine» was a pioneer mission to mine a mountain a little distance away.
- Altogether 5 places.
First we headed to the «Large Farmland» and here we are growing a wide variety of vegetables on land that was taken from the woods.
With the harvest of those vegetables we can gain powerful benefits from the land linked to the Great Forest, or it could be because of the effect of our improvements and use of spirit stones in the soil, or all those acts together, the growth rate is even faster than any other, but above all the quality of the produce is high.
The vegetables harvested here are also delicious, becoming popular products even with the outside as a popular product, it has become one of our financial resources.
Once harvested any vegetable is as delicious when fresh grown, but that flavor falls over time, except the strength of ours lasts longer at market because there is a means to airlift them there.
Since recently it has become famous as the brand vegetables, I'm thinking of going to contract directly with a well-known restaurant, it being considered as such.
It is easier to produce a quick and large amount of high-quality food here, contributing greatly to our rate of self-sufficiency, it is one of the more important facilities.
Those who work here are mainly agricultural dwarves, Porevikus, as well as the humans and plant systems etc. who acquired the [Farmer] job to assist and the like.
Everyone there just say that they prefer farm work than dangerous combat or troublesome customer relations, while working there for a while I even broke out in a sweat, but I found myself cheerfully working with a smile.
Middle-aged men with a body that have been trained in agricultural work are swinging down a hoe along with the younger workers, harvesting the crops at a rate fast enough to make you doubt your eyes, farmers gather to work on the breeding and improving of the vegetables gathered.
It would not be bad for a work environment.
Finished with the visit of the «Large Farmland», the next location I am headed for is the «Ranch».
Here was where we began with the «Familiar Magic», so livestock like Big Cocco and Boruforu are being kept.
While there I was looking inside the barn, at the occupant's growth condition, and looking through the documents submitted by the members that work here.
To improve the taste of our livestock even a little, every trial and error the workers went through was written in those documents, as they kept at it day and night at the «Ranch».
This is, the research material that was their result.
The research materials begins with the "taste of the changes due to the feed given to livestock", "what to do to make a stress-free environment", "or how the taste will be affected by the change created with a level up", "disease list that should be addressed in advance", and so on, they have ranged widely.
I ran my eyes ran over to it thoroughly, and instructed them to continue thereafter.
Everything is time consuming, the only way to learn is through failure.
Members are as in the past, good if given the chance to work at it.
Although not say that any missing team members are lazy or low in energy, but the hard workers will be issued a bonus as a result, to work or not is up to the team members.
By the way, Jiro and black Saburo were also here and they were playfully attached to me who came to visit. Since resting on my back, I will properly provide an opportunity to play.
The other Kumakichi belonging to Minokichi-kun, and Kanami-chan' beloved horse are both also there, but their presence is thin, even so, they still live in that area.
After the «Ranch», we left towards the «Factory», but products are silently produced like a machine.
Constant quality is ensured, it can be mass-produced at a fixed price.
There are many other products that are superior to the goods that are produced here, but ours are better because they are provided cheaper as a commodity.
As far as the production of such goods here is concerned, it seems there is no particular problem.
I try to invent a line of new products for development, as well as making any improvement learned while listening to the members that work here.
After «Factory», we next went to the «Mall», that is not to say that we went for anything in particular.
Originally this was a location to prepare for working in stores outside the forest, but outside information is constantly being shared by the earcuffs, learning how it works as a clerk comes back from the outside, with the guidance of smiths our members have completed a method to guide the junior team members.
Since this was all there was to see, we went down the «First Mine» after that examination, to some extent.
Since we are a bit far from the «First Mine», this time we can ride a skeleton truck.
At the end of the straight path laid out to penetrate in a line through the woods, there was a mountain that has remained unchanged in size.
Originally, this is one of the mine located in the large forest the mine loving Asue-chan was the first to find.
Asue-chan found it in the middle of taking a walk and digging for more than a hundred meters with just one other demon, but she had been left alone for a while because it was not interesting, being just an ordinary mine, so it had been left alone as three were other things to be done.
Rare magic metals are not mined here, but a mine is still a mine. Attempts to re-use has risen a bit because there's not much trouble here, it is now being used as advanced mining by members who became "Mine demon ground lords" in fact.
There are places that are deeply dug in advance by Asue-chan, so that it takes away much of the time and effort, it is likely that such facilities are going to be increasing in number in the future.
To accumulate know-how now for the future, teaching others how to be careful, how to avoid cave-ins, and other accidents etc.
Traveling until end the of the visit, as the large forest around us is being dyed red with the setting sun, we spent a lazy afternoon in front of the mansion chewing and munching on caterpillars when, from the [Warp Gate] Minokichi-kun and Asue-chan returned.
So just say, I decided to eat the caterpillar together for the sake of nostalgia.
Me and Kanami-chan, now a group of 4 demons with Minokichi-kun and Asue-chan, entertain ourselves with the story of the goblin's rise to the elite hobgoblins era.
After all, one year from being reincarnated passes in such a short while.
Goblin and Hobgoblin era was short in terms of the period, it felt somewhere distant as if an old age.

Day 364
Today we planned to have the opening ceremony of the birthday festival planned to last three days, we decided to have it synchronized with our birthday.
Even if we do have an opening ceremony, we try not to give long speeches, and bring them to an end in short order to break up into groups quickly.
The festival this time is not going to have a large battle as the main event.
No, there is definitely going to be a tournament and a competitive battle is planned for tomorrow, but even if it is separated according to battle class, almost all the results can be expected.
There's no doubt that it will be exciting, although it is our special birthday festival, it's probably unusual if it isn't too different from what we would usually do.
So besides the battle tournaments there are street stalls where simple food is made scattered around the base here and there, this time there is a games area, where a you can test your aim with ring throwers or practice punches, to win a prize according to the results.
There are also places where you could enjoy a sports game really similar to badminton or basketball, etc. with [Foreigners] brought in as competitors . A prize is given to those who compete for the individual who participated or a team, going out by the order, so there might be a member challenging with another member he's on good terms with here and there.
Anyway after saying all this, it's like a mixed festival day.
It's a festival that began from the morning, but I spent that morning enjoying a game of badminton with my children.
DARADARA the afternoon time was spent while properly taking a walk.
When I went around briefly through the stalls, a preliminary meeting place for the battle tournament which becomes the main attraction of tomorrow is prospering the most with the crowds, but the street stall that feed their courage is taking some too and the sports stalls where dungeon drop items from the labyrinths can be gained are almost the same in terms of people, I eat and watch as the excitement seems to rise.
There is also a street stall where excellent silver work made by the chief dwarfs is sold and another street stall where alchemists sell magic medicine for night, popular with the couples.
That food dishes and liquors were the only things prepared for this day, so that everywhere is heard cheerful laughter.
Even if I am the one saying it, but isn't it a good festival?
By the way, since today and tomorrow the festivals are meant to be for yourself, so that the elves and the animal people which are the visitors of ≪Parabellum Hot Spring Village≫ don't participate.
That way people with a social relationship, like the father elf and his daughter, may be invited, but because there is no intention to let an unknown number of outsiders into the base in anything other than a division of ≪Parabellum Hot Spring Village≫.
However, it is a special festival.
Then, for the final day of the festival, even ≪Parabellum Hot Spring Village≫ will be part of the entertainment, with a planned cut in price.
It would be better to share a good festival and enjoy oneself.
=====
Day 365
Today is our birthday.
It been just one year after my reincarnation. Suddenly a lot of my memories are coming back to me, really a lot of a storage is needed in a year as dense as this one.
That night, which is a beginning as well as the end, I was killed by Aoi Aoi, who was like a little sister to me.
Also, even if I try to calmly look back on that now, I still tilt my head and wonder why this happened.
I totally do not have any simmering hatred to the Aoi who killed me, and am even worried that she has been arrested after that as the murderer.
If there is a complaint, it is only with my own tameness in being so frankly killed.
Even if I was stabbed in the stomach by surprise by Aoi, who is almost like a relative to me, even if the murder weapon is a special kind of military weapons, I should have made a little more of a resistance.
When I try to think of the "why" of that time - my memory is hazy. Memories of that time are not clear.
Whether it is something interfering with me, the question floats around my mind, but I decided to give up thinking on that because it became so troublesome.
Well, anyway, after I was killed, for some reason, I was reincarnated as a small goblin, engaged in a struggle for survival, and experienced various meetings and farewells.
Here I have been able to realize the rawness of life. As well as having been able to experience the death that comes with it.
Looking back on many things, like the meals shared with Minokichi-kun and Kanabi-chan, it all started with eating caterpillars that became a breakfast and munching in synchronization with all our members, including those who stopped at the level of goblins without advancing through 【Existence Evolution】.
The meat was well prepared, spilling over with juices.
Knowing what I do now, the 【Sacred Treasures】 and dragon meat is not comparable, but reminiscing of the days of being newborn, has a special nostalgic taste.
While immersed in deep emotion, I look over everyone's faces sitting in a circle.
Each seems to have eaten a caterpillar while thinking of something.
Those who simply enjoy the caterpillar. Those who have decided something. Those who are tinged with sorrow. Those who look up at the sky with a distant eye. Those who are smiling. There are really different reactions.
There were several Caterpillars distributed for the sake of synchronization per goblin.
Since there is only a certain amount, soon after they have eaten I go around pouring a drink of the direct demon liquor into everyone's cup.
The amount is about the same as a sake cup. Although there is a sense of injustice since the size of most bodies is different, it can not be helped because of a small amount of the amount of demon drink available. Here we get test our patience.
When I had poured into each cup, everyone drank at once.
Same as when they ate the caterpillars, their reactions are also different.
There are those who visibly relax their face after simply drinking such delicious sake. Those who shed tears of gratitude at drinking such a choice demon drink that is not available to their rank. Those who ascended to the great heights from the impact beyond their experience. Finally, those who shiver in ecstasy.
Even though there was someone that had more to drink, like me.
Burasato and Supesei are not sitting in our circle, I was a bit envious there, but unfortunately, our birthday festival is my main concern.
Only today the seat of the protagonist is not negotiable.
While there was such an act for the morning, just as yesterday I spent the day having fun, until around the evening.
As the world was dyed red, the finals of the battle tournament, that is the most exciting part of the birthday festival, was held.
The location of the battlefield has been selected as the «External Training Field».
Anyway, the field has been improved in the search for robustness so that it can now also reduce the damage from those fighting here, so that you can fight all out with abandon.
The ones that ended up surviving in the tournament and reaching the finals was YoIsamu and Redhead.
A combination of good and bad points, the fight of two that won out through their abilities, it led to an intensely heated final match, but progresses from start to end YoIsamu held onto the advantage.
As if there was an agreement between the two, each chose to not use any ability, fighting only with combat techniques trained from their pure physical ability.
In terms of purely physical performance, the difference between the two is not much.
Going by gender Yolsamu has more endurance and would outweigh because of his gender, but is exceeded by Redhead in agility and flexibility.
Moving around YoIsamu, that is actually set up comfortably, at high speed Redhead chose tactics intended for disrupting his balance.
Just her legs, that was all that he could catch from Redhead's movement, such was the expected difficulty for that beast who was just using both arms to reach all in his field of view, it might have been difficult to counter in a narrow battle field.
If he showed even a slight chance, the Nail Fang of Redhead, like a true carnivore, would have taken a piece of YoIsamu's neck.
However unlike before, YoIsamu prevented all the attacks from Redhead with a minimum of wasted movement, by knocking them to the side or with a simple parry.
At the Birthday Festival, it was YoIsamu who splendidly took the victory.
It is a pity that Redhead lost this time because I was personally supporting her, but still her growth rate is comparable in degree Mino Yoshi-kun and Kanabi chan.
Initially I could not help but think that Redhead was so much weaker.
Still, she might win next time, no matter others might expect.
Anyway, we presented the prize to the winner YoIsamu, and carried on to the last event of the Birthday Festival's second day of entertainment.
It was a simple concept, to hit an attacker in a circle with a diameter of about three meters within the time limit.
That is, the target this time is me.
Of course it is only natural to resist their attacks, since it is not possible for me to move from within the circle, it can either be simultaneous attacks by participants from a long distance, but those that dare could also challenge in close combat.
If it is possible for anyone to get even a single blow in, that success comes with drop items obtained from dungeon class bosses, or the equivalent in anything you desire, you can win such prizes.
The last event that began so, closed in the middle act of success.
While happening in a large forest where the noise is incessant even at night, the last of the day was spent enjoying myself.
Would it not be a good way of ending the day if it seems to be speaking to us.
By the way, the first to have cleared the last event was Kanabi chan.
If it is an attack, such as freezing the space, it could not be prevented.
What did Kanabi chan demand in the end?
That also means that there is an opportunity.
=====
Day 366
Birthday Festival, the start of the last day.
I'm at the «Parabellum Hot Springs», that is vibrant even this early in the morning, receiving Dorianu's oil massage.
Laying next to me is the figure of the father elf that has become a regular customer.
The facial expression, usually full of dignity, falls away and sloppily melts from that grandfather's face.
I did not fall to those indescribable feelings since they have already become familiar with them, but instead I had been receiving some whispered complaints instead.
Briefly summarized, it seems that for the past two days, they were struggling to accommodate the elves and beast people drawn by the cheerful voices heard from within the base. If today «Parabellum Hot Springs» does not have an unprecedented event carried out, and if it is not big enough to notice, they would will be overwhelmed by the like of them, to the point that they will not be able to fit them all inside.
It could be because Father Elf has a relationship with me, I wonder if there were many petitions?
I had to give my condolences, and only that.
Besides that, he must have felt rather frustrated, going Gunu Nu. He is not looking good being that desperate. I had to remember the frustration rather.
That sort of will is not for a pretty child, such as the daughter elf.
Well put, after receiving a massage, I look around at the state of the festival, which was transferred to the venue nearer «Parabellum Hot Springs», along with father elf.
Even if an elf is having that much fun, there are still beast people who have are chagrined, or look lost, etc., even others such as a Pig-Orc that has set up a stall to sell pork bun ramen cuisine here. Everything had a sampling of chaos but still, everyone also seemed happy.
With the added attraction of the skeleton mechanism built for today - the roller coaster beetle and merry-go-round beetle - is one of the sections that are most crowded, it seems a long queue is made.
Members who are working as staff are moving around happily, so that «Parabellum Hot Springs» would be even more flooded with clients after this.
Today is the last day and for others, rather than our own, such as the elves and the beast people, it has become a festival where the local residents take place as the main attraction.
It was alright for us to have fun on our own for all three days, but to include your neighborhood association is also be important.
We can also hope that their purse strings are loosening in the festival, but there are other reasons as well, such as, making the case for the building our fellowship with others.
Just because they can not all fit in the internal base, the «Parabellum Hot Springs» was transported to a different venue so that everyone can freely enter and leave, but even a look at the state of the festival shows that it was the correct answer.
By the way, instead of working in offices inside, I am processing the garbage that came out from the festival, including those moving the stalls that are no longer needed to a different location, or slowly transporting the people that are tired to a resting location.
After moving around the crowded «Parabellum Hot Springs», we went on to the special section that was prepared, drinking elf wine with the father elf.
Kugime gave me a few items that issued as memorabilia, that food made from dragon meat and other labyrinth products, but father elves seemed to like it very much, so that we often ate in silence, not drinking as much as we would have.
The amount is still lacking a bit, but I wonder if I should not refrain a little more.
As I thought of other things, the gathering began with Minokichi-kun and Asue-chan.
The gathering began to increase gradually, until it became like a small banquet.
I try to make other locations to eat and drink, so that there would be enough places with the same thing if you only look.
Anyway, I enjoyed drinking the sake together.
Also today, the sounds of indulging continued throughout the large forest well into the night.
====
Day 367
Cleaning will wait until after the festival.
The trash can which was installed in [Parabellum Hot Spring Village] is by a river, so it is easier to handle, making the cleaning simpler.
There is still the case that trash has to go out and we have to clean the street stalls as well as the various decorations from banquet that were freely scattered.
It was a special occasion, so I was just doing an overall cleaning of the inside of the base for the first day.
Member are cleaning the places where they are generally active and individual houses.
I rallied a part of the members and cleaned the house, in the end deciding to go around to see the Blacksmith-san, Alchemist-san, the Sisters, and Dorian.
It seems others felt the same, everyone seemed to be cleaning briskly, but still there was dirt you could not quickly reach.
I make a controlled liquid sink into a form of acidity like alkaline using [self-body fluid property manipulation] and cleaned with a cloth made of a golden thread I knit.
Then dirt was coming off in a fascinating way. There was also some stubborn dirt which doesn't fall easily, but for the most part it can be cleaned easily.
Stubborn dirt may be cleaned through force or by a magic medicine an alchemist has made.
The cleaning for the first day is accomplished using various methods.
Collected dirt and dust are taken away, and I seem able to get to quite a good sleep today.

Day 368
After the Holy War, we have the birth festival, and afterwards washed out all the accumulated dirt.
Then what will we do next, what should we do next, and should we not also be searching for new, unknown ingredients.
Regardless, we are going to be moving quietly for a while on this continent.
I want to capture the convenient [Age of the Gods Dungeons] in the more interior of the Lumen Holy Kingdom and Estgrand Beast Kingdom, I also want to challenge the [Okami] class [God Dungeons] in the middle of the area around the continent. Although there is that plan, now I want to put a little time aside.
After all, the influence of the Holy War still has not played out.
For now we are the center of attention, and our activities have been done with some in a manner that was easier to understand, for the sake of clarity.
If that's so, now we have to turn our attention to another continent.
For the sake of the unseen food in those places that we have still not reached.
Although saying that, such a difficulty as going to another continent is not terribly high for us.
Normally, it would be a voyage we would take while fighting the heinous marine life every step of the way, with an likewise armed convoy, but we happen to have Ship Ambrasm Parabellum.
It is a huge ship, the Ship Ambrasm Parabellum, and at the same time it is a [God Dungeon] but it is still targeted by some monsters. There will never not be a problem in any place you call home, but for us at least it will not be a problem - We are free, it is possible to go to another continent with a planned out route.
Even if Ship Ambrasm Parabellum did not work, we have five medium-sized armored vessels we could have manufactured using the 【Magic Armor Medium-sized Ship Making Kit】 we received before.
Those magical armored medium-sized vessels, when built, have a total length of about one hundred and sixty meters.
The power to run is supplied by a magical engine using supplied Magic as an energy source, its magic armor is made with magic metal with enough of a defense to stop the attacks of monsters coming from the sea.
Furthermore, in order to intercept and not just protect ourselves, various arms have been mounted by dwarf blacksmiths throughout its length.
For example, as a typical load-out it has, [Acoustic Explosive Needle · Actinal] installed in the ship's bottom, a small sized [Shock/ Blade Cannon] installed on the deck, twelve gates and a large [Spirit/Ballast Canon], and there is a [Helical Angle of Attack - Haldesnor] set on the bow.
There is also such things as [Hammer Cannon-Hairado] that shoots out a harpoon, the [Capture Network-Supanesu] that casts a net, but it is set in place.
A Magical Ship that holds more combat capability than most armed ships and is equal to creating a trade convoy with another continent, even as one of the [God Production Artifact] obtained in a [Gods Dungeon] I can only wonder what to say.
Even these alone will be able to sail that dangerous ocean alone.
If there was such a means available before, there was no one to properly use them.
There is also the ability to immediately come back with the [Demon Gate], but the future goal is a foray to another continent.
Well, it is going to be busy again soon.
=======
Day 369
Various preparations are being developed for our voyage to another continent.
Saying so sounds nice to speak of, or it would if we did not have the [Teleport Gate].
With it supplies can be prepared with for the Ship Ambrasm Parabellum with ease, and should I start the move, such as any supplies to start up offices, the process should be simple enough.
That is why there is not that much to say.
Then today, just one day into the job, each member was left to their own position.
Sweating and stinking with training while passing the time, playing with children to teach them approaches and how to fight, trying the delicious cuisine of MeshiIsamuItaru, finally enjoying an elegant evening with Kanami-chan.
While it is the day before going to a new land, there was nothing particularly unusual, it is a day of peace.
======
Day 370
After waking up and doing morning training as usual, taking a bath after a good sweat, I finished the preparations and assembled everything in front of [Ghost Wailing Gate], all before eating a meal at noon.
Altogether the group consisted of dozens of the main members such as Minokichi-kun and Kanami-chan, along with the children Oko, Auro, and Argento with a few other members like Redhead all gathered before me.
When the preparations were finished, I passed through the [Ghost Wailing Gate] and moved to the Ship Ambrasm Parabellum.
It's possible to see the busy trade city when I appear on the ocean where the harbor for trade is popular. The Ship Ambrasm Parabellum is moored next to Labyrinth City Dur Gha Varia which is a maze city at the same time.
Apparently, it seems to be more cheerful than usual, or at least that is what I understood after observing the Labyrinth City Dur Gha Varia for a long time from afar.
A barker's voice sounded from among the large number of customers in the festival-like ceremonies, and smiles spilled from the people who walked in the city.
In advance of the Ship Ambrasm Parabellum, during the festival apparently, a whistle arrives which announces our departure and an anchor is raised, so I'll make sure that we can take off at any time.
Since there is no other ship like Ship Ambrasm Parabellum which traveled the world periodically, this must also be an ideal event for them.
Anyway I will prepare to move after I've bathed in the sea breeze for a while.
The last whistle loudly rings once more, and a huge wheel crank is increasing the number of rotations gradually. A hull like a mountain slowly picks up speed, certainly slowly but surely, and the bow is slowly turning to face towards the vast ocean.
I hear the whistle and notice the situation here.
Labyrinth city Dur Gha Varia where you assume it was wished that sailors return from sailing safely, and that where a famous [Minstrel] from the past wrote a song that started to play.
It mixed with the sound of the musical instruments and you could also hear men's voices from the bold sea.
It is a cheerful and comfortably bold sound that is pleasant to hear.
While being seen off on such a grand scale, we also started our search for delicious new ingredients that we have not heard of yet, we set off to a new continent.
He is the chosen of the 【God of the Sun】, the 【Hero of Sunlight】. The village in which he was born and raised was destroyed along with all the villagers that had been living there, including the one he dearly loved, leaving him with nothing but a vow of vengeance.
His real name, Sigurd-Eighth-Sven. The first time I met him was in front of his murdered lover, and we ended up fighting when he was in the grips of his rage and need for vengeance, but I was able to escape without being totally swept up by it.
His eyes were dyed by hatred at the time, so that all around had been seen as the enemy.
Once he reached the state of 【Mad Warrior Berserker】 he mounted an attack, targeting anyone, regardless of their being friend or foe. Even though I was already an Apostle Lord at the time, I was attacked by his runaway rage.
However he was dominated by feelings of anger and his movements were monotonous and linear, but they were certainly faster than normal because he was running at full power, with no thought of the consequences. It was a simple matter to deal with him, because his movements were so easy to read and, with only speed going for him, the fight ended with his defeat, with barely any struggle as a result.
Afterwards he returned to his senses, and asked for the power to get his revenge, signing on as a subordinate with me.
---
After that he trained from day-to-day, along with new companions who he met through many twists and turns, leading to the battle against the enemy Insect hero in the previous [Holy War].
After he prepared his part of the battlefield, hiring on a huge number of magicians, up to the last minute, while wounded along with my companions, they killed the Insect hero that had become a variant of a huge Insect demon, letting his revenge play out brilliantly.
After finishing the [Holy War], he departed alone in order to visit the tomb of his lover and, separated from his colleagues, a couple days passed. This morning, he returned to the Great Forest base with the sunrise.
Coming back along with that sunshine, he seemed to have become a different person.
Before, he had worn a constantly gloomy atmosphere, a man who was honest a wet blanket.
In his eyes dwelt a light stained with revenge and madness, a consciousness honed towards the targeted revenge, but still sharp enough to hesitate in approaching the evil.
While greedily seeking power, in a certain field of battle there had been a day-to-day heated discussion led by the Dontetsu knight.
He was a man who lived for just that purpose, constantly pushing towards his revenge.
However, after returning home he had no such purpose left, the 【Hero of Sunlight】 had become a good young man who welcomed the fresh morning sun.
Honestly, I cannot hide my surprise in the transfiguration of that first sight.
Who is this guy?
"Good morning, master. It seems that today will be a nice day." That was delivered with a refreshing smile, and I reacted defensively.
Wow, what is this bad feeling?
There was a sense of discomfort that left me with goose bumps.
Eyeing the person in front of me with suspicion to figure out whether or not he is a fake, I observed him thoroughly and in detail, listening to the various stories surrounding him leading to the conclusion that, apparently, this is how he originally was.
This means that he is no longer in the avenger, only focused on revenge, you could say that he has regained the original appearance as the 【Hero of Sunlight】 chosen by the 【God of sunlight】.
But it is still a change, and not a fake.
If he was, the minute body 【Parasite】 would be missing inside Avenger. The level of darkness in him has returned to a more stable balance.
There is also a dark atmosphere around him at the moment, it can be seen that the existence of his Ying and Yang balance is formed from the dark part along with the newly formed light.
Like the two sides of a coin, there are two sides to anyone.
If you do believe so, I am convinced that it's that kind of thing.
I was surprised even in the morning but, taking care, tried fighting his new balanced self in the morning training.
Defeating the Insect hero seems to have further raised his base level ability, letting him become even stronger in the future.
After completing the training, and enjoying lunch from the sisters who carefully crafted the taste, I later changed location along with Kanami-chan using the 【Demon Howl Gate】 to reach 【Holy Seafoods Cavity Of The Fierce God】 .
Using the【Demon Howl Gate】 , we exited in a submerged cave, a certain room that I've created.
Here, members can leave the 【Demon Howl Gate】 which is installed in the center of the room. It is a square room of about thirty meters and the entire area was prepared in order for them to move freely through the water filled 【Holy Seafoods Cavity Of The Fierce God】.
Since, basically, only clan members can access this place, there is no road that leads directly here so that an outsider cannot wander in by mistake, so there is no way to enter or exit the room except through the warp gate.
Kanami-chan and I came here, through such a secret room, after preparing for a day out by ourselves.
Kanami-chan's race does poorly underwater - there's a danger that she will unconsciously freeze the surrounding area with her cold - so, after receiving it earlier and letting it remain in my item box, we decided to go with 【Vesper's Outer Shell: Octorp】.
This is an 【Ancient】 class magic item that we received by clearing the previous 【Frontier Psalm〔Vesper Octorp〕】, with an effect that seems to cover the wearer in an exoskeleton in the shapes of a High Octorp.
This is a transformation that can work without problems in the water, but this time it was very much different from before, creating a different shape.
When I used it, it was shaped nearly like a High Octorp, but now it fit closer to the female body for Kanami-chan to use it.
The head comes with something like a coronet tiara made of shark bones, it grows tentacles like an octopus and moray eels from the back, and the lower body is spread casually like a dress in the shape of a sea anemone.
Although the upper body does not change much, Kanami-chan gained a kind of atmosphere such as a queen that rules the ocean, which I don't mind at all because that is little different from the everyday, but it is more of a thicker presence.
I tried thinking of my options for a moment but as I couldn't come up with a better idea, I have settled on wearing 【Thundershark Dragonlord's Scales】 that was already part of 【Equip Exoskeleton】.
Even if we were spotted by men and women from any age range there would be no problem, they would have only seen two people using strange magic items.
In addition to this, we triggered the ability 【Aquatic】, and started moving with Kanami-chan using a warp gate.
Our destination is quite a ways towards the back from the original entrance, where pillars of rocks made a compartment that created a shadowed overhang.
You should be careful when using a warp gate, as to being cautious so as not to be seen, just because there are people who could take advantage of any opening they can get to.
Thinking so, we moved around quickly to confirm no one else was around.
There was no sign of any other people around, and it seems we were not seen by anyone either. Being filled with peace of mind, I looked at whether Kanami-chan felt the same, but she seemed a little surprised by a strange feeling that suddenly appeared in the water.
Using 【Vesper's Outer Shell: Octorp】 she was able to breath easily, as well as being able to swim faster than a fish using the lower body part.
Still, after practicing with the 【Vesper's Outer Shell: Octorp】, we went on to collect several food items while enjoying our sea dating.
Since I've been here before, I know the different types of food-based items at hand, the number of fish-based monsters that swim around are more than enough, such as seaweed and shellfish. The amounts and variety are also in abundance.
We spent a large amount of time as a result of continuing to collect the noticeable items. About two hours, so the item box was stuffed with a large amount of food.
In outline, I thought it would be good enough to spend our time like this: an elaborate, fancy, and normal underwater date for us.
As a small school of fish swam by flashing their beautiful scales, it created an interesting sight to watch, leading to a good atmosphere.
After that, Kanami-chan and I returned to land and spent the rest of the day relaxing.
======
Day 362
Early in the morning, after spending the night in a luxury hotel named after the forest base Kikoku -it would be easy to recognize our base - we returned after a morning of training. After I had eaten I went to the «Workshop» where the Blacksmith-san's worked.
In the «Workshop» the craftsmen swung their hammers while streaming sweat, with the constant sound of them breathing life into metal resounding while scattering sparks.
The most important work of these members is maintaining our weapons and armor on a daily basis, and today my main job is to help the Blacksmith-san.
Like before, in the same way as not having the culinary skills to help the sisters, I could not directly lend a hand to the Blacksmith-san working at the smith's.
From Blacksmith-san's level of expertise, it would be like barely putting my foot a hair's length in, like an amateur.
As for what I can do, so far I have taken in about dozens, if not hundreds, of the magic metals that were mined and taken from each dungeon into my silver arms, making armor utensils for use in the «workshop» like the artisans desired of the alloy to be produced with the ingots.
Originally, it was necessary to prepare the magic metal alloy according to certain guidelines.
Although, with research, it is still possible to somehow work with a small amount, but it becomes quite difficult when it comes to making alloys in large quantities.
In my case though, I can take in a wide variety of magic metals in my silver arms only changing them into ingots while shifting the respective ratio needed.
An analogy would be easier to understand, the process would be like building some mass then kneading it like clay, making as many lumps as possible.
Getting a more accurate example would be tough, but this is close enough as a rough image.
Either way, this is too easy to do, but more than half of our visitors came to tour all of the work, it still would not have been meaningful like this.
I tried various mixtures while changing the ratio in a short period of time, led by the master dwarf that wields a huge hammer, they carefully craft various armors as our Blacksmith-san are serious enough you could not imagine a smiling expression as they continue forging.
Each dwarf enters a dedicated workshop, while flames are incessantly leaking from the furnaces that are using spirit stones.
High-pitched sounds come from the hammers hitting the magic alloys, violently flying sparks scattering incessantly.
Slowly and gradually, the work which has the soul of the craftsmen will be built.
There was certainly the mark of craftsmanship there.
So far their technology has been cultivated by practice, inherited and passed down first by tradition, it is the final result learned after countless trial and errors.
The characteristics of the magic metal that is used as a raw material, probably due to the【Job】 of 【Blacksmith】, can make an armor with magic, and afterwards it becomes sublimated into a magic item that surpasses any regular armor.
A Long Sword with improved sharpness and an added heat strike, a tower shield to prevent the wearer from attacks even by the wind, a sling staff that would generate gravel shots automatically, even such a mace that would strike again at the same time lightning as the initial strike, the items being worked on have a wide range.
The sight of a real blacksmith is simply fun to watch, and I was inspired by it, I also decided to try to build various things.
Of course, because Oniwaka is the child of Blacksmith-san he was there in the workshop with his mother in a corner, wielding a hammer alongside Oniwaka.
Material to be used is stacked in the corner, it is suitably the magic alloy extracted from my silver arms.
Since the magic alloy has a larger amount of mithril blended in it is slightly bluish.
With a whistling like a kettle and while being advised by the Blacksmith-san, Oniwaka struck with the hammer for a while.
What was finished by trial and error by Oniwaka was a thick knife, almost like a hatchet.
I just polished a horn in a corner, and fitted them with a magic alloy handle, but the material's sharpness to the material was outstanding.
Even dropping a rock is cut by its own weight, there is also 【Automatic Repair】 along with other various skills. It might be exactly good for disassembling knives when dismantling prey or for subordinate armor with good usability.
The one that was first completed and presented was to Oniwaka, and we planned to make more together for the rest of the children - Auro, Argento, Nicola, and Opushii, we decided to continue blacksmithing again.
I knew the way was already possible, so we would continue to the working as father and son.
Anyway since Nicola still can not be use it because she is the baby, the other kids are also pleased, so it ended up being good after all.
Because of this experience, I want to continue building things.
=======
Day 363
Today I visited each facility in the base.
However, there seemed to be no particular problem at the «Airport»,which is the air base for the refined dragons, in particular also the «Original Mine» and «Residential Area» that is the living area for our members in the settlement did not seem to have any major issue. There is nothing to see.
Since we already use the «External Training Grounds» frequently for large-scale combat training I really have nothing to visit today, so I just went to the same place as yesterday, to the «workshop» where the blacksmiths are.
Although it is worth it to visit the «Parabellum hot spring village», the number of non-elf customers has begun to increase recently, but it is going to take a bit more time, it will be even better at a later date.
That was why I headed to the other locations this time-
Dorianu and the agricultural dwarves are managing the «Large Farmland»
«Familiar Magic» bound such creatures as wolves, horses, bears, and other monsters that are then bred as domestic animals, such as Big Cocco, in the «Ranch» to have such as free-range livestock.
In the «Factory» we have mass-produced goods created by the production line system used by the black skeleton mechanism.
With the «Mall» we are selling the produced goods and it also serves as training for work outside the base in the future.
Finally, the «First Mine» was a pioneer mission to mine a mountain a little distance away.
- Altogether 5 places.
First we headed to the «Large Farmland» and here we are growing a wide variety of vegetables on land that was taken from the woods.
With the harvest of those vegetables we can gain powerful benefits from the land linked to the Great Forest, or it could be because of the effect of our improvements and use of spirit stones in the soil, or all those acts together, the growth rate is even faster than any other, but above all the quality of the produce is high.
The vegetables harvested here are also delicious, becoming popular products even with the outside as a popular product, it has become one of our financial resources.
Once harvested any vegetable is as delicious when fresh grown, but that flavor falls over time, except the strength of ours lasts longer at market because there is a means to airlift them there.
Since recently it has become famous as the brand vegetables, I'm thinking of going to contract directly with a well-known restaurant, it being considered as such.
It is easier to produce a quick and large amount of high-quality food here, contributing greatly to our rate of self-sufficiency, it is one of the more important facilities.
Those who work here are mainly agricultural dwarves, Porevikus, as well as the humans and plant systems etc. who acquired the [Farmer] job to assist and the like.
Everyone there just say that they prefer farm work than dangerous combat or troublesome customer relations, while working there for a while I even broke out in a sweat, but I found myself cheerfully working with a smile.
Middle-aged men with a body that have been trained in agricultural work are swinging down a hoe along with the younger workers, harvesting the crops at a rate fast enough to make you doubt your eyes, farmers gather to work on the breeding and improving of the vegetables gathered.
It would not be bad for a work environment.
Finished with the visit of the «Large Farmland», the next location I am headed for is the «Ranch».
Here was where we began with the «Familiar Magic», so livestock like Big Cocco and Boruforu are being kept.
While there I was looking inside the barn, at the occupant's growth condition, and looking through the documents submitted by the members that work here.
To improve the taste of our livestock even a little, every trial and error the workers went through was written in those documents, as they kept at it day and night at the «Ranch».
This is, the research material that was their result.
The research materials begins with the "taste of the changes due to the feed given to livestock", "what to do to make a stress-free environment", "or how the taste will be affected by the change created with a level up", "disease list that should be addressed in advance", and so on, they have ranged widely.
I ran my eyes ran over to it thoroughly, and instructed them to continue thereafter.
Everything is time consuming, the only way to learn is through failure.
Members are as in the past, good if given the chance to work at it.
Although not say that any missing team members are lazy or low in energy, but the hard workers will be issued a bonus as a result, to work or not is up to the team members.
By the way, Jiro and black Saburo were also here and they were playfully attached to me who came to visit. Since resting on my back, I will properly provide an opportunity to play.
The other Kumakichi belonging to Minokichi-kun, and Kanami-chan' beloved horse are both also there, but their presence is thin, even so, they still live in that area.
After the «Ranch», we left towards the «Factory», but products are silently produced like a machine.
Constant quality is ensured, it can be mass-produced at a fixed price.
There are many other products that are superior to the goods that are produced here, but ours are better because they are provided cheaper as a commodity.
As far as the production of such goods here is concerned, it seems there is no particular problem.
I try to invent a line of new products for development, as well as making any improvement learned while listening to the members that work here.
After «Factory», we next went to the «Mall», that is not to say that we went for anything in particular.
Originally this was a location to prepare for working in stores outside the forest, but outside information is constantly being shared by the earcuffs, learning how it works as a clerk comes back from the outside, with the guidance of smiths our members have completed a method to guide the junior team members.
Since this was all there was to see, we went down the «First Mine» after that examination, to some extent.
Since we are a bit far from the «First Mine», this time we can ride a skeleton truck.
At the end of the straight path laid out to penetrate in a line through the woods, there was a mountain that has remained unchanged in size.
Originally, this is one of the mine located in the large forest the mine loving Asue-chan was the first to find.
Asue-chan found it in the middle of taking a walk and digging for more than a hundred meters with just one other demon, but she had been left alone for a while because it was not interesting, being just an ordinary mine, so it had been left alone as three were other things to be done.
Rare magic metals are not mined here, but a mine is still a mine. Attempts to re-use has risen a bit because there's not much trouble here, it is now being used as advanced mining by members who became "Mine demon ground lords" in fact.
There are places that are deeply dug in advance by Asue-chan, so that it takes away much of the time and effort, it is likely that such facilities are going to be increasing in number in the future.
To accumulate know-how now for the future, teaching others how to be careful, how to avoid cave-ins, and other accidents etc.
Traveling until end the of the visit, as the large forest around us is being dyed red with the setting sun, we spent a lazy afternoon in front of the mansion chewing and munching on caterpillars when, from the [Warp Gate] Minokichi-kun and Asue-chan returned.
So just say, I decided to eat the caterpillar together for the sake of nostalgia.
Me and Kanami-chan, now a group of 4 demons with Minokichi-kun and Asue-chan, entertain ourselves with the story of the goblin's rise to the elite hobgoblins era.
After all, one year from being reincarnated passes in such a short while.
Goblin and Hobgoblin era was short in terms of the period, it felt somewhere distant as if an old age.
=====
Day 364
Today we planned to have the opening ceremony of the birthday festival planned to last three days, we decided to have it synchronized with our birthday.
Even if we do have an opening ceremony, we try not to give long speeches, and bring them to an end in short order to break up into groups quickly.
The festival this time is not going to have a large battle as the main event.
No, there is definitely going to be a tournament and a competitive battle is planned for tomorrow, but even if it is separated according to battle class, almost all the results can be expected.
There's no doubt that it will be exciting, although it is our special birthday festival, it's probably unusual if it isn't too different from what we would usually do.
So besides the battle tournaments there are street stalls where simple food is made scattered around the base here and there, this time there is a games area, where a you can test your aim with ring throwers or practice punches, to win a prize according to the results.
There are also places where you could enjoy a sports game really similar to badminton or basketball, etc. with [Foreigners] brought in as competitors . A prize is given to those who compete for the individual who participated or a team, going out by the order, so there might be a member challenging with another member he's on good terms with here and there.
Anyway after saying all this, it's like a mixed festival day.
It's a festival that began from the morning, but I spent that morning enjoying a game of badminton with my children.
DARADARA the afternoon time was spent while properly taking a walk.
When I went around briefly through the stalls, a preliminary meeting place for the battle tournament which becomes the main attraction of tomorrow is prospering the most with the crowds, but the street stall that feed their courage is taking some too and the sports stalls where dungeon drop items from the labyrinths can be gained are almost the same in terms of people, I eat and watch as the excitement seems to rise.
There is also a street stall where excellent silver work made by the chief dwarfs is sold and another street stall where alchemists sell magic medicine for night, popular with the couples.
That food dishes and liquors were the only things prepared for this day, so that everywhere is heard cheerful laughter.
Even if I am the one saying it, but isn't it a good festival?
By the way, since today and tomorrow the festivals are meant to be for yourself, so that the elves and the animal people which are the visitors of ≪Parabellum Hot Spring Village≫ don't participate.
That way people with a social relationship, like the father elf and his daughter, may be invited, but because there is no intention to let an unknown number of outsiders into the base in anything other than a division of ≪Parabellum Hot Spring Village≫.
However, it is a special festival.
Then, for the final day of the festival, even ≪Parabellum Hot Spring Village≫ will be part of the entertainment, with a planned cut in price.
It would be better to share a good festival and enjoy oneself.
=====
Day 365
Today is our birthday.
It been just one year after my reincarnation. Suddenly a lot of my memories are coming back to me, really a lot of a storage is needed in a year as dense as this one.
That night, which is a beginning as well as the end, I was killed by Aoi Aoi, who was like a little sister to me.
Also, even if I try to calmly look back on that now, I still tilt my head and wonder why this happened.
I totally do not have any simmering hatred to the Aoi who killed me, and am even worried that she has been arrested after that as the murderer.
If there is a complaint, it is only with my own tameness in being so frankly killed.
Even if I was stabbed in the stomach by surprise by Aoi, who is almost like a relative to me, even if the murder weapon is a special kind of military weapons, I should have made a little more of a resistance.
When I try to think of the "why" of that time - my memory is hazy. Memories of that time are not clear.
Whether it is something interfering with me, the question floats around my mind, but I decided to give up thinking on that because it became so troublesome.
Well, anyway, after I was killed, for some reason, I was reincarnated as a small goblin, engaged in a struggle for survival, and experienced various meetings and farewells.
Here I have been able to realize the rawness of life. As well as having been able to experience the death that comes with it.
Looking back on many things, like the meals shared with Minokichi-kun and Kanabi-chan, it all started with eating caterpillars that became a breakfast and munching in synchronization with all our members, including those who stopped at the level of goblins without advancing through 【Existence Evolution】.
The meat was well prepared, spilling over with juices.
Knowing what I do now, the 【Sacred Treasures】 and dragon meat is not comparable, but reminiscing of the days of being newborn, has a special nostalgic taste.
While immersed in deep emotion, I look over everyone's faces sitting in a circle.
Each seems to have eaten a caterpillar while thinking of something.
Those who simply enjoy the caterpillar. Those who have decided something. Those who are tinged with sorrow. Those who look up at the sky with a distant eye. Those who are smiling. There are really different reactions.
There were several Caterpillars distributed for the sake of synchronization per goblin.
Since there is only a certain amount, soon after they have eaten I go around pouring a drink of the direct demon liquor into everyone's cup.
The amount is about the same as a sake cup. Although there is a sense of injustice since the size of most bodies is different, it can not be helped because of a small amount of the amount of demon drink available. Here we get test our patience.
When I had poured into each cup, everyone drank at once.
Same as when they ate the caterpillars, their reactions are also different.
There are those who visibly relax their face after simply drinking such delicious sake. Those who shed tears of gratitude at drinking such a choice demon drink that is not available to their rank. Those who ascended to the great heights from the impact beyond their experience. Finally, those who shiver in ecstasy.
Even though there was someone that had more to drink, like me.
Burasato and Supesei are not sitting in our circle, I was a bit envious there, but unfortunately, our birthday festival is my main concern.
Only today the seat of the protagonist is not negotiable.
While there was such an act for the morning, just as yesterday I spent the day having fun, until around the evening.
As the world was dyed red, the finals of the battle tournament, that is the most exciting part of the birthday festival, was held.
The location of the battlefield has been selected as the «External Training Field».
Anyway, the field has been improved in the search for robustness so that it can now also reduce the damage from those fighting here, so that you can fight all out with abandon.
The ones that ended up surviving in the tournament and reaching the finals was YoIsamu and Redhead.
A combination of good and bad points, the fight of two that won out through their abilities, it led to an intensely heated final match, but progresses from start to end YoIsamu held onto the advantage.
As if there was an agreement between the two, each chose to not use any ability, fighting only with combat techniques trained from their pure physical ability.
In terms of purely physical performance, the difference between the two is not much.
Going by gender Yolsamu has more endurance and would outweigh because of his gender, but is exceeded by Redhead in agility and flexibility.
Moving around YoIsamu, that is actually set up comfortably, at high speed Redhead chose tactics intended for disrupting his balance.
Just her legs, that was all that he could catch from Redhead's movement, such was the expected difficulty for that beast who was just using both arms to reach all in his field of view, it might have been difficult to counter in a narrow battle field.
If he showed even a slight chance, the Nail Fang of Redhead, like a true carnivore, would have taken a piece of YoIsamu's neck.
However unlike before, YoIsamu prevented all the attacks from Redhead with a minimum of wasted movement, by knocking them to the side or with a simple parry.
At the Birthday Festival, it was YoIsamu who splendidly took the victory.
It is a pity that Redhead lost this time because I was personally supporting her, but still her growth rate is comparable in degree Mino Yoshi-kun and Kanabi chan.
Initially I could not help but think that Redhead was so much weaker.
Still, she might win next time, no matter others might expect.
Anyway, we presented the prize to the winner YoIsamu, and carried on to the last event of the Birthday Festival's second day of entertainment.
It was a simple concept, to hit an attacker in a circle with a diameter of about three meters within the time limit.
That is, the target this time is me.
Of course it is only natural to resist their attacks, since it is not possible for me to move from within the circle, it can either be simultaneous attacks by participants from a long distance, but those that dare could also challenge in close combat.
If it is possible for anyone to get even a single blow in, that success comes with drop items obtained from dungeon class bosses, or the equivalent in anything you desire, you can win such prizes.
The last event that began so, closed in the middle act of success.
While happening in a large forest where the noise is incessant even at night, the last of the day was spent enjoying myself.
Would it not be a good way of ending the day if it seems to be speaking to us.
By the way, the first to have cleared the last event was Kanabi chan.
If it is an attack, such as freezing the space, it could not be prevented.
What did Kanabi chan demand in the end?
That also means that there is an opportunity.

Day 366
Birthday Festival, the start of the last day.
I'm at the «Parabellum Hot Springs», that is vibrant even this early in the morning, receiving Dorianu's oil massage.
Laying next to me is the figure of the father elf that has become a regular customer.
The facial expression, usually full of dignity, falls away and sloppily melts from that grandfather's face.
I did not fall to those indescribable feelings since they have already become familiar with them, but instead I had been receiving some whispered complaints instead.
Briefly summarized, it seems that for the past two days, they were struggling to accommodate the elves and beast people drawn by the cheerful voices heard from within the base. If today «Parabellum Hot Springs» does not have an unprecedented event carried out, and if it is not big enough to notice, they would will be overwhelmed by the like of them, to the point that they will not be able to fit them all inside.
It could be because Father Elf has a relationship with me, I wonder if there were many petitions?
I had to give my condolences, and only that.
Besides that, he must have felt rather frustrated, going Gunu Nu. He is not looking good being that desperate. I had to remember the frustration rather.
That sort of will is not for a pretty child, such as the daughter elf.
Well put, after receiving a massage, I look around at the state of the festival, which was transferred to the venue nearer «Parabellum Hot Springs», along with father elf.
Even if an elf is having that much fun, there are still beast people who have are chagrined, or look lost, etc., even others such as a Pig-Orc that has set up a stall to sell pork bun ramen cuisine here. Everything had a sampling of chaos but still, everyone also seemed happy.
With the added attraction of the skeleton mechanism built for today - the roller coaster beetle and merry-go-round beetle - is one of the sections that are most crowded, it seems a long queue is made.
Members who are working as staff are moving around happily, so that «Parabellum Hot Springs» would be even more flooded with clients after this.
Today is the last day and for others, rather than our own, such as the elves and the beast people, it has become a festival where the local residents take place as the main attraction.
It was alright for us to have fun on our own for all three days, but to include your neighborhood association is also be important.
We can also hope that their purse strings are loosening in the festival, but there are other reasons as well, such as, making the case for the building our fellowship with others.
Just because they can not all fit in the internal base, the «Parabellum Hot Springs» was transported to a different venue so that everyone can freely enter and leave, but even a look at the state of the festival shows that it was the correct answer.
By the way, instead of working in offices inside, I am processing the garbage that came out from the festival, including those moving the stalls that are no longer needed to a different location, or slowly transporting the people that are tired to a resting location.
After moving around the crowded «Parabellum Hot Springs», we went on to the special section that was prepared, drinking elf wine with the father elf.
Kugime gave me a few items that issued as memorabilia, that food made from dragon meat and other labyrinth products, but father elves seemed to like it very much, so that we often ate in silence, not drinking as much as we would have.
The amount is still lacking a bit, but I wonder if I should not refrain a little more.
As I thought of other things, the gathering began with Minokichi-kun and Asue-chan.
The gathering began to increase gradually, until it became like a small banquet.
I try to make other locations to eat and drink, so that there would be enough places with the same thing if you only look.
Anyway, I enjoyed drinking the sake together.
Also today, the sounds of indulging continued throughout the large forest well into the night.
====
Day 367
Cleaning will wait until after the festival.
The trash can which was installed in [Parabellum Hot Spring Village] is by a river, so it is easier to handle, making the cleaning simpler.
There is still the case that trash has to go out and we have to clean the street stalls as well as the various decorations from banquet that were freely scattered.
It was a special occasion, so I was just doing an overall cleaning of the inside of the base for the first day.
Member are cleaning the places where they are generally active and individual houses.
I rallied a part of the members and cleaned the house, in the end deciding to go around to see the Blacksmith-san, Alchemist-san, the Sisters, and Dorian.
It seems others felt the same, everyone seemed to be cleaning briskly, but still there was dirt you could not quickly reach.
I make a controlled liquid sink into a form of acidity like alkaline using [self-body fluid property manipulation] and cleaned with a cloth made of a golden thread I knit.
Then dirt was coming off in a fascinating way. There was also some stubborn dirt which doesn't fall easily, but for the most part it can be cleaned easily.
Stubborn dirt may be cleaned through force or by a magic medicine an alchemist has made.
The cleaning for the first day is accomplished using various methods.
Collected dirt and dust are taken away, and I seem able to get to quite a good sleep today.
=====
Day 368
After the Holy War, we have the birth festival, and afterwards washed out all the accumulated dirt.
Then what will we do next, what should we do next, and should we not also be searching for new, unknown ingredients.
Regardless, we are going to be moving quietly for a while on this continent.
I want to capture the convenient [Age of the Gods Dungeons] in the more interior of the Lumen Holy Kingdom and Estgrand Beast Kingdom, I also want to challenge the [Okami] class [God Dungeons] in the middle of the area around the continent. Although there is that plan, now I want to put a little time aside.
After all, the influence of the Holy War still has not played out.
For now we are the center of attention, and our activities have been done with some in a manner that was easier to understand, for the sake of clarity.
If that's so, now we have to turn our attention to another continent.
For the sake of the unseen food in those places that we have still not reached.
Although saying that, such a difficulty as going to another continent is not terribly high for us.
Normally, it would be a voyage we would take while fighting the heinous marine life every step of the way, with an likewise armed convoy, but we happen to have Ship Ambrasm Parabellum.
It is a huge ship, the Ship Ambrasm Parabellum, and at the same time it is a [God Dungeon] but it is still targeted by some monsters. There will never not be a problem in any place you call home, but for us at least it will not be a problem - We are free, it is possible to go to another continent with a planned out route.
Even if Ship Ambrasm Parabellum did not work, we have five medium-sized armored vessels we could have manufactured using the 【Magic Armor Medium-sized Ship Making Kit】 we received before.
Those magical armored medium-sized vessels, when built, have a total length of about one hundred and sixty meters.
The power to run is supplied by a magical engine using supplied Magic as an energy source, its magic armor is made with magic metal with enough of a defense to stop the attacks of monsters coming from the sea.
Furthermore, in order to intercept and not just protect ourselves, various arms have been mounted by dwarf blacksmiths throughout its length.
For example, as a typical load-out it has, [Acoustic Explosive Needle · Actinal] installed in the ship's bottom, a small sized [Shock/ Blade Cannon] installed on the deck, twelve gates and a large [Spirit/Ballast Canon], and there is a [Helical Angle of Attack - Haldesnor] set on the bow.
There is also such things as [Hammer Cannon-Hairado] that shoots out a harpoon, the [Capture Network-Supanesu] that casts a net, but it is set in place.
A Magical Ship that holds more combat capability than most armed ships and is equal to creating a trade convoy with another continent, even as one of the [God Production Artifact] obtained in a [Gods Dungeon] I can only wonder what to say.
Even these alone will be able to sail that dangerous ocean alone.
If there was such a means available before, there was no one to properly use them.
There is also the ability to immediately come back with the [Demon Gate], but the future goal is a foray to another continent.
Well, it is going to be busy again soon.
=======
Day 369
Various preparations are being developed for our voyage to another continent.
Saying so sounds nice to speak of, or it would if we did not have the [Teleport Gate].
With it supplies can be prepared with for the Ship Ambrasm Parabellum with ease, and should I start the move, such as any supplies to start up offices, the process should be simple enough.
That is why there is not that much to say.
Then today, just one day into the job, each member was left to their own position.
Sweating and stinking with training while passing the time, playing with children to teach them approaches and how to fight, trying the delicious cuisine of MeshiIsamuItaru, finally enjoying an elegant evening with Kanami-chan.
While it is the day before going to a new land, there was nothing particularly unusual, it is a day of peace.
======
Day 370
After waking up and doing morning training as usual, taking a bath after a good sweat, I finished the preparations and assembled everything in front of [Ghost Wailing Gate], all before eating a meal at noon.
Altogether the group consisted of dozens of the main members such as Minokichi-kun and Kanami-chan, along with the children Oko, Auro, and Argento with a few other members like Redhead all gathered before me.
When the preparations were finished, I passed through the [Ghost Wailing Gate] and moved to the Ship Ambrasm Parabellum.
It's possible to see the busy trade city when I appear on the ocean where the harbor for trade is popular. The Ship Ambrasm Parabellum is moored next to Labyrinth City Dur Gha Varia which is a maze city at the same time.
Apparently, it seems to be more cheerful than usual, or at least that is what I understood after observing the Labyrinth City Dur Gha Varia for a long time from afar.
A barker's voice sounded from among the large number of customers in the festival-like ceremonies, and smiles spilled from the people who walked in the city.
In advance of the Ship Ambrasm Parabellum, during the festival apparently, a whistle arrives which announces our departure and an anchor is raised, so I'll make sure that we can take off at any time.
Since there is no other ship like Ship Ambrasm Parabellum which traveled the world periodically, this must also be an ideal event for them.
Anyway I will prepare to move after I've bathed in the sea breeze for a while.
The last whistle loudly rings once more, and a huge wheel crank is increasing the number of rotations gradually. A hull like a mountain slowly picks up speed, certainly slowly but surely, and the bow is slowly turning to face towards the vast ocean.
I hear the whistle and notice the situation here.
Labyrinth city Dur Gha Varia where you assume it was wished that sailors return from sailing safely, and that where a famous [Minstrel] from the past wrote a song that started to play.
It mixed with the sound of the musical instruments and you could also hear men's voices from the bold sea.
It is a cheerful and comfortably bold sound that is pleasant to hear.
While being seen off on such a grand scale, we also started our search for delicious new ingredients that we have not heard of yet, we set off to a new continent.
