“This is… well yes, it’s a Light Magic Crystal….
well, the current purchase price is…”

 

 

　The receptionist stood up, before saying, “Please wait a moment,” pulled out a stack of papers from the back shelf, rolled it up, and returned while checking something.

 

 

“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.
This D-rank Light Magic Crystal….
Well, they are purchased at 30 gold coins, is that okay?” (Receptionist)

 

 

　The receptionist put the stack of papers she was reading on the desk and looked at me as she said this.

　The search for the hidden room took much longer than I expected, and I decided to return to the surface after I finished exploring the 20th floor underground.
I was surprised to find that the white magic stone of the ghost I killed on the way there was more expensive than I expected.

 

　Hmmm… I’m wondering if I should sell it…

 

　In the meantime, now that I’ve got my Magic Bag, I don’t have a problem adding some more items to it.
I can stock up on items that might be useful for something, though…

 

 

“Then please.”

 

 

　I’ve decided to sell it after all.

 

　I’ve decided to get a new set of armor.
For now, I’m more interested in money.

　To be frank, my equipment, especially my armor, is almost at zero.
I’ve got some pants and shirts to wear inside my robes, but my cloth robes remain intact.
I’d like to start wearing some decent armor soon, and if I’m going to buy something, I want it to be as good as possible.

 

　So now I want money more.

 

 

　I received money from the receptionist and left the adventurer’s guild.

 

 

 

 

　I walked through the town, which was dyed red by the setting sun, towards my usual inn.

 

　The main street was filled with people hurrying home, and the barkeeps of the bars that stayed open at night were lighting lanterns hanging from the eaves.

　In this world, there is the magic of [Light Source] and lanterns, but most people don’t use such things on a daily basis.
Not many people can use [Light Source], which is a Life Magic of light, and using lanterns or lighting magical tools would cost a lot of money in fuel.
So basically, they are active when the sun rises and sleep when the sunsets.

 

　The main streets around here are well lit at night, with many stores open, but the back alleys are completely dark.
If you don’t have a light, it’s hard to walk around.
Therefore, people who are in a hurry to get home want to get home before the sun goes down.

 

 

　Perhaps it was because I was so excited to have the magic bag that I unconsciously walked faster, and sweat began to trickle down my forehead.
I wiped it off with the cuff of my robe and suddenly realized,

 

 

“What is this… is it getting hot?”

 

 

　No, when I think about it, it’s already been a few months since I came to this world.
I’ve been in this world for a few months now, and when I first came here, it was a little chilly, so if it was spring, it’s no surprise that it’s turning into summer after a few months.
Well, if the seasons are the same as on Earth, that is.

“Yes, it’s summer…”

 

 

　What do adventurers wear in the summer?　Do they wear light clothing, or is it the same? I think it’s a bad idea to wear light clothing and reduce your defense just because it’s summer.
But if it’s fur equipment, it’s going to be hard in the summer and I’ll probably have to take it off.

 

　But can the average adventurer afford to carry multiple pieces of gear, one for summer and one for winter?　Most adventurers live in lodgings as I do, so there’s no place to stock up on extra gear.

 

　In the dungeon, it’s cooler because it’s underground, and the temperature is probably similar all year round, so the equipment of the adventurers in this town might be the same all year round.

 

 

 

“Well, I’ll think about that after going to the armor shop.”
