 After parting with John, I head to the reception desk.

 

 

“Good morning. Do you have a recovery request today?” (Rook)

 

“Thank you as always. No requests at this time.” (Sarah)

 

“I see.” (Rook)

 

 

 I heard there were no injuries today. That’s fine and dandy, but not having any work is also a problem.

 

 For a moment, I let my thoughts wander and remembered something I wanted to confirm.

 

 

“Oh yeah. Do you sell Enhancement Scrolls?” (Rook)

 

Yes, we do. We sell them for 10 gold coins.” (Sarah)

 

 

 I was a little relieved to hear that.

 

 I was sure that the price in other towns was also 10 gold coins. I was a little surprised because I thought that everything was expensive in this town. It’s the same price here, so I was a little surprised.

 

 I don’t know if the price of items sold at guilds fluctuate less, or if guilds here are more conscientious, but I am grateful.

 

 I thanked the receptionist, left the counter, and headed toward the tavern to find Mr. Nick for the first time in a few days.

 

 He was at the bar counter, chugging a morning glass of grape wine.

 

 

“Good morning. You’re already drinking this early…?” (Rook)

 

 

 When I asked Mr. Nick, he downed his wine, saying, “Adventurers who work hard in the winter are third-rate.”

 

 I sit down next to Nick, who is talking in a way that sounds like an excuse for a heavy drinker, and ordered a thinned grape wine from the tavern master.

 

 

“Or top-notch, I suppose.” (Nick)

 

“If you’re top-notch, you have to work hard?” (Rook)

 

“The very top can’t be replaced. Even if they want to take a break, work will come to them.” (Nick)

 

 

 That may be true. If there is a skill that only that person can do, then you have no choice but to ask that person to do it.

 

 

“What about ordinary adventurers?” (Rook)

 

“Normal–or rather, if you’re a full-fledged adventurer, you save as much as you can during the fall so that you don’t have to worry about not having a job in the winter. That’s all.” (Nick)

 

“Is that so?” (Rook)

 

 

 How much can you store during the It reminded me a little of the story of the ant and the grasshopper. Next year, I’ll have to start storing up a little more stuff, too.

 

 

“But that’s not all there is to being a top-notch adventurer. You have to think about the next spring, and how to move forward.” (Nick)

 

“Move forward?” (Rook)

 

“Honing your skills, making connections through political and business connections… In this town, some adventurers become temporary teachers at the Royal Academy.” (Nick)

 

“Teachers…” (Rook)

 

 

 I believe the kids I saw at the Adventurer’s Guild before, the ones with the broken engagement scenario, were students at the academy. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be their teacher, or… I can’t imagine it, and I don’t think I’d be asked to do it, given my age.

 

 

“I’ve heard that if you want to be a top-notch adventurer, there are things you can do in the wintertime.” (Nick)

 

“I see……” (Rook)

 

 

 I look at Nick as he says this.

 

 The third-rate adventurers and the very first-rate adventurers are busy even in winter, while the first-rate adventurers are doing a lot of things. And the ordinary adventurers are doing normal things even in the winter. So, Mr. Nick, who has been drinking at the bar since the morning, is—

 

 

“Hey, aren’t you thinking of something rude?” (Nick)

 

“No, no, no, no! That’s not true! I’ve got to go!” (Rook)

 

 

 I say goodbye to Mr. Nick and leave the Adventurer’s Guild.

 

 That was dangerous… So, what should I do today?

 

 I could go out and explore the town, but…

 

 

“Oh! Why don’t I look for the church?” (Rook)

 

 

 I believe I heard that many people strengthen their equipment in churches.

 

 

“What was it…?” (Rook)

 

 

 I took out a bunch of notes from my magic bag and flipped through them to check.

 

 

“Um, the first thing here is that there was a man who said, ‘If God blesses you, you will succeed in enhancing your armament,’ and he actually succeeded in strengthening his armor, huh?” (Rook)

 

 

 Flipping through my memory, I remember the story.

 

 Thanks to that man’s story, many people gathered at the church to ask for the blessing. However, due to various reasons, they began to refuse to give blessings, Still, in order to increase the success rate as much as possible, he said, he began to challenge the enhancement of armaments on the church grounds.

 

 

“…if I were to enhance mine, should I do it at the church too?” (Rook)

 

 

 It reminds me of an adventurer who failed to enhance his weapon, lost his weapon, and lost his soul in a corner of the church like a skeleton who receive [Turn Undead].

 

 

“I wonder what it’s like to be in that appearance…” (Rook)

 

 

 Well, assuming I would fail from the beginning…

 

 

“Well, let’s try looking for it for now. Excuse me—” (Rook)

 

 

 I talked to a woman at a nearby store and asked her where the church was located, then asked again a short distance further down the main street, and as I proceeded westward through town, there it was.

 

 A large site surrounded by stone walls. The building seen through the large metal lattice door was magnificent and looked larger than any church I had ever seen.

 

 

“Is this the church?” (Rook)

 

 

 The atmosphere was different from any church I had ever seen.

 

 In other churches, many ordinary people had come to pray on the grounds, and some adventurers had ascended to heaven. But in this church, only people who looked like church officials could be seen, and the doors were closed. The garden on the grounds is beautifully landscaped and looks like a nobleman’s mansion.

 

 This completely gives off the atmosphere of a place that is closed to the general public.

 

 

“It seems impossible to do any enhancements here…” (Rook)

 

 

 If you can’t enter here, where does the public pray? Or, is this really a church?

 

 After exploring the town with many questions, we returned to the inn that day.

 

 

 

 

“Oh, it’s the Great Church.” (Brydon)

 

 

 Returning to the inn, I asked the innkeeper—Mr. Brydon, about the church, and he replied with those words.

 

 

“The Great Church?” (Rook)

 

“Yeah, we call it that because it’s big.” (Brydon)

 

“It’s just like that, huh?” (Rook)

 

“Shut up, there’s no other way to call it.” (Brydon)

 

 

 Mr. Brydon put a bowl of soup in front of me as he said that.

 

 I bring it in front of me and tasted it.

 

 Yes, it still contains a lot of mysterious ingredients, but it is delicious.

 

 

“If there is a Grand Church, is there also a Small Church?” (Rook)

 

“Hahahaha, there is another small church, but there is no way it is named exactly like that. It is called Stella Church.” (Brydon)

 

“…I see.” (Rook)

 

 

 It’s kind of frustrating… Even though the Grand Church is a Big Church…

 

 I took out the meat from the stew, cut it into pieces, and gave it to Shion.

 

 

“That one’s by the wall near the slum.” (Brydon)

 

“Really.” (Rook)

 

“It’s at the end of a narrow alley, so only the locals would know about it.” (Brydon)

 

 

 But why are there two churches? No, maybe there were several churches in other towns, but I just didn’t know about them.

 

 

“So, what business do you have with churches? Are you simply devout?” (Brydon)

 

“No, I’m just looking to enhance my weapon.” (Rook)

 

“Oh, come on, you believe in the legend, too?” (Brydon)

 

“I don’t feel really believe in it, but just in case…” (Rook)

 

 

 Mr. Brydon wiped a mug with a cloth and looked at me.

 

 

“I don’t believe in it. I don’t believe that it makes any difference where or how you do it. When I was young, I tried many times to enhance something, but I always failed even if I did it in the church.” (Brydon)

 

“I see.” (Rook)

 

 

 Yeah, I think so. But these things are tugging at my imagination, so unless I get the proper data and confirm it, I can’t really know what’s really going on.

 

 

“Well, there are times when an adventurer needs to have more hardship, so it can’t be helped… You should train a little more.” (Brydon)

 

 

“Huh? Yes, well, I’m going to continue to train.” (Rook)
