　I told Terry-san that it was time for me to go back to being an adventurer.

“Terry-san, I’m going back to being an adventurer. From now on, I want you to give me a monthly income and expenditure report. Of course, I will visit you from time to time. Also, you should put a guard at the entrance to the workshop. It’s no fun if someone gets hurt in the workshop because of violent people.” (Louis)

“I understand. I’ll leave it to you. I’m a little nervous without Louis-san, but I’ll be fine as long as you show up from time to time.” (Terry)

　Terry-san looked a little anxious but said stoutly.

　I had Huey make 10 vessels and Enchanted them with [Proliferation].

　This will be enough to fill the normal order as long as it is filled with magic power until the prepared mash matures.

　Somehow, I had mastered two magic spells while I had been absent from adventuring for more than a month.

　I still have no idea how I learned them.

　If I could figure out how I learned them, I would be able to learn a lot of magic.

　The two spells I learned are [Stirring] and [Space].

　[Stirring] is an Alchemy Magic that can be stirred as the word says, and I wondered if there would ever be a time to use it.

　And [Space] is a Non-attribute Magic that can create space as the word suggests.

　However, this space, as it grows in size, takes away a lot of magic power, and although it looks like a transparent glass box to me, it is completely invisible to others. On the other hand, it is possible to put things in and out of this space, and once it is created, it is possible to make it exist permanently, but it is also possible for me to erase it. What I found interesting, or rather really strange, was the fact that people could walk through the space I had created, but they could not see what I had put in there.

　I have no idea how it works, even though it is magic that I use. But I don’t understand it because I can also use other spells just by remembering them.

　At first, I thought it was just invisible, but I could only see the glassy space, nor could I physically touch the things I put in there.

　I could see it, and I could touch the glass-like surface outside, but I thought that maybe the space I had created was in a different dimension.

　However, as I created and erased the space several times for verification, I realized that if I created the space with proper awareness, I could fix the space and make it physically difficult to destroy, in other words, make it solid. In other words, if it is made solid, it may be indestructible. I have also found that if I make it so solid and fix it in the air, it can even go up like a staircase, and by making it solid, it can be used the same way when someone else touches it as it is when I touch it.

　I thought that if I trained it, I could develop it into more useful magic, so I decided to add this to my daily training. Incidentally, since it doesn’t affect the surroundings at the moment, I can create a 20-meter square space in no time by repeating the space experiment after finishing the water ball control training after I get home.

　I thought that if I could grant space to a bag with enchantment, I could make a magic bag, but I could not do it immediately. The success rate of the magic tool enchanted with [Space] does not seem to be high, but I have a feeling that I will be able to do it soon, so I decided to continue my training.

　Instead of going to work at the Soy Sauce Workshop, I went to the market to buy some food.

　I still had plenty of wheat and rice, but I had to replenish my supply of vegetables and spices.

　I had been so busy with the Soy Sauce Workshop for the past month or so that I had forgotten about it, but I went to see Hector-san, the blacksmith, and asked him what he had done with the Vampire Bat material.

“Hector-san, how was the Vampire Bat material processed?” (Louis)

“You’ve come just in time. Look.” (Hector)

　What was presented to me was a slender sword.

“A rapier? No, it’s a florete.” (Louis)

　Compared to the rapier I had seen in the store, the sword was thinner and more flexible, with a pointed tip, so I should think it was simply for piercing.

“It’s a hit. The reason I chose Florete is that it is light and flexible and is a dedicated stabbing weapon. I made it on the assumption that it would have the same effect as the dagger you made, but it doesn’t seem to be exactly the same. You can even appraise it.” (Hector)

　I received the sword and tried to appraise it.

[Vampire Sword: Florete, the effect of draining the target’s blood, weight reduction.]

　It is light. My first impression of the sword is that it is extremely light. Perhaps due to the weight reduction effect, it is so light that it is hard to believe it is a metal weapon.

“It’s very light. It doesn’t even weigh as much as a dagger. The effect is that it draws blood, and it was appraised as a Vampire Sword.” (Louis)

“The dagger you made didn’t have the ‘instant’ effect, did it? It’s a first-class product that is close to a special-grade weapon because it has the combination of a blood-sucking effect and weight reduction. It became a light weapon that could be wielded by a woman.” (Hector)

　You’re saying it so matter-of-factly, but it’s a prototype weapon, isn’t it?

“It’s not just a first-class weapon, it’s a special-class weapon, with a blood-absorbing and weight-reducing effect. You can’t find a magic sword like this anywhere else.” (Louis)

“I would have thought so too before I saw the dagger you made, but now I’ve seen something better than this. I plan to offer this sword, with the scabbard attached, for 200 gold coins. If it sells, I’ll let you know through the guild.” (Hector)

“Thank you. I’m going back to work as an adventurer, so I’ll bring something back when if I get a material. Thank you for showing me that interesting sword today.” (Louis)

“Oh, come back again. You are always welcome.” (Hector)

　I left Hector’s workshop and went to the guild.

　There were no quests on the guild’s quest board, so I decided to just say to the receptionist, Rosa-san, that I was back.

“Rosa-san, I’m back, so I’m planning to take a quest again.” (Louis)

“Louis-san! Welcome back. Thank you very much for that time. I will let the Guild Master know that you are back.” (Rosa)

　That time? Do you mean when I used [Heal] on Terry-san’s foot?

“Oh, don’t worry about it. By the way, what happened to that dungeon?” (Louis)

“You were absent for a while, so you don’t know about it, but that dungeon is now under the management of our guild. If Louis-san is back, there might be a nominated request.” (Rosa)

“Eh? The A-ranked and B-ranked adventurers are back, right? Aren’t you going to send the request to them?” (Louis)

　I answered in surprise, and Rosa was surprised too.

“What? Louis-san is the guild master’s favorite adventurer! I don’t think there’s any way he’d leave you out.”

　What? When did that happen?

　I don’t know, but I told Rosa-san that she doesn’t have to tell the Guild Master that I’m back.

　I’m sure she’ll report back to him because it’s her job, but just in case.

　I finished restocking the necessary supplies and went to the guild again the next day, and Rosa-san caught me.

“Louis-san, as I said yesterday, there is a nominated request from the Guild Master. Please go to the Guild Master’s office.” (Rosa)

　Prompted to go to the office, I went to the office on the second floor and knocked on the door.

　When I heard the reply, I opened the door and entered the room. Harold-san, the Guild Master, who was facing the desk with a difficult face, looked up.
