Magan to Dangan o Tsukatte Isekai o Buchinuku!

“Are you sure you want those three then?”

 

Ghazals confirmed that the two had chosen three in total.
He smiled in satisfaction at their reaction, as if he was proud of them too.

 

“Oh, this is fine.
I'm not troubled with money because I got paid for the request I made the other day.
That's why.
It's enough if we can get what we think is useful.”

 

He also asked about the approximate price of each of the magic tools that were offered, but the price was lower than the purchase price of the large number of cores that Ataru and Caro offered.
But the two of them didn't care about that, because they had chosen them based on what they would use.

 

“I'm glad you two are satisfied with your choice.
If you get any other unusual cores or larger ones, please bring them to me.
I'll be happy to provide you with whatever you want, as long as it comes from the two of you.”

 

Ghazals said with a smile on his face and immediately started checking the cores he had bought, seemingly unable to wait.
Caro also smiled happily at the sight of the two.

 

“I'll do that when we get something.
In the meantime, the delivery of the cores and the acceptance of the rewards have been completed, so we should be on our way.

 

Ataru softly called out to the father and son who had begun to be absorbed in the nuke and left the store with Caro.

 

 

 

When Ataru and Caro left the store, they found several adventuring parties waiting for them.

 

“What is it?”

 

In most cases, it's usually a case of asking for the reward you received, and that's what Ataru thought and began to be wary.
Caro, who had the same idea, quickly took a position to pull out her weapon at any time and stared at the other party.

 

“Hey, would you like to join our party?”

 

But that was an invitation to the two of them.
The members who participated in this request had a high opinion of Ataru and Caro.
That was why all the parties had gathered to recruit them.

 

“Hey, hey, hey.
Why don't you come to join us instead of their party?”

 

“No, don't do that, they're poor.
We'll make it easy for you.

 

The party leaders who had gathered to be the first to join the party were competing with each other, belittling each other and boasting about the best parts of their own party.

 

Ataru, who had been caught off guard by the unexpected turn of events, looked at the adventurers arguing in front of him with disgusted eyes.
Caro was looking this way and that as if she was in trouble, wondering what to do about this situation.

 

“You guys haven't talked to either of them at all, so it would be tactless to invite them.
Hey, Ataru, come join our party.”

 

Ataru heard a familiar voice and realized that it was Klaus' voice.

 

It is true that among them, Klaus and them had talked many times, and had fought together on the front lines, so Caro was not a stranger to him.
With a dazzling, fresh smile as always, Klaus held out his hand invitingly.

 

“I refuse.”[1]

 

But Ataru's answer was immediate.

 

“Let's go, Caro.”

 

Leaving the adventurers dumbfounded by his answer, Ataru gently supports Caro's shoulders as he tries to leave the scene.

 

“Wait a minute! What exactly is the problem!? Please tell me!”

 

While confused, Klaus insists on telling him.
He was not angry that he was rejected, but simply wanted to know why.

 

“First of all, Klaus is the only one of these people I know, so if I had to choose, it would be his party.”

 

Klaus's eyes lit up with anticipation as he heard this.
The rest of the adventuring party was nodding their heads in anticipation.

 

“But there are several reasons not to choose Klaus' party.”

The other adventuring parties nodded their heads in anticipation.

 

“First of all, there are members who don't like men.
As you can see, I'm a guy, and joining a party in that situation would just be awkward.
Secondly, even though I know some of these guys, I don't feel comfortable enough with them to talk about my fighting style or my weapons.”

 

When Ataru clearly said this much and pointed out the part that he was aware of, Klaus groaned in frustration.

 

“Third, Klaus is certainly reasonably competent and well-balanced with the other party members.
I don't know what kind of relationship you have with him, but you are in perfect harmony and work well together.”

 

This was something that Klaus was proud of.
But perhaps he didn't expect Ataru to praise him, and his cheeks relaxed with happiness.

 

“That's why we don't want to be a part of it.
The three of you are the only ones who can make it work, and if a stranger like us were to enter it, it would instantly lose its balance.”

 

This was a point that Klaus had not expected to hear from Ataru.
Klaus froze in a daze as if struck by lightning.

 

Klaus and his party was strong, and if two more strong people joined them, their strength would increase even more.
That was Klaus' idea.

 

The other side of the coin is that, as you saw when Caro and I fought, we have our own way of working together.
I don't think it's going to work if you three join us.”

 

The way Ataru and Caro fought was unique, and no one here could imagine Klaus and the other three joining them in battle.

 

“Surely …….”

 

It was only when Ataru told him that he tried to conjure up the image, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't, and finally Klaus admitted it.
It was the first time he had tried to think of the image.

 

“So, we're not going to join any party.
Understood?”

 

After listening to the reason so far, who would have the guts to invite them? There was no one who had the guts to ask them to join.

 

“Then we'd better get going.”

 

Ataru slipped past them, his shoulders slumping, and headed for the inn.
Caro, who had been occasionally looking back anxiously for a while, followed him, deciding that she had to go with Ataru.

 

 

 

“I was surprised…….”

 

When they are out of sight, Caro opens her mouth, holding her chest and taking a breath.

 

“I didn't expect them to want to recruit us.
But we can't be tied down, because we have our own things we want to do.
……
Does Caro want to join some party or something?”

 

Ataru thought he was going to answer immediately, but Caro pondered for a while.

 

“No, I still think that Ataru-sama and I should be alone.
I'm not sure if I'd be able to work well together if I joined another party, as I mentioned earlier.
On the contrary, when I fight with Ataru-sama, I can leave my back to you without any worries.”

 

It wasn't actually her back, but she was using it as a metaphor.

 

Ataru pats her head happily as he smiles genuinely at Caro.

 

“I'm glad you've thought this through.
Caro is my slave, but even if you are, it's not a healthy situation for you to be so reserved with me that you don't speak your mind.”

 

“Normally, a master would be offended if a slave expressed their opinion like this.
However, Ataru-sama listens to my opinions carefully, so I can talk about it.”

 

Ataru was truly pleased with Caro's answer as she flapped her long ears happily.
This is the proof that the two of them have come to know each other.

 

“Oh, you can think and answer like that in the future.
I won't be offended if you do.”

 

But perhaps still embarrassed, Ataru replied to Caro in a gentle voice, trying not to show his joy.

 

“Yes, thank you very much!”

 

Caro noticed the kindness in Ataru's seemingly casual demeanor and, contrary to Ataru, expressed her joy with her full expression and attitude.

(Garden’s corner: And that’s all the chapters for today.
I also want to say that I will change the release schedule when this year is over to around 5 chapters a week, maybe even 7, if I have enough chapters stocked up by then.)
