The trio left.
　The first man clicked his tongue and stared at me evasively before leaving, while the other two looked at me with a look of regret.

　Eve also walked away.
　She was the one who caused the mood to turn ugly, but she didn't care about it at all, and she left, chewing on carrots at her own pace.

　The rest of me and Emily worked.
　We had defeated the sleeping slime in the Tellurian basement second floor and collected the dropped carrots.
　Together with Emily, I was able to hunt efficiently with a party in the game.
　As a result, we were a little earlier than our regular time, and not enough time to make another round trip, the same as yesterday.
　The two of us were able to drop just enough to bring it home.

　Today's income came to 2,000 pillows.

'Come to think of it, you don't have a magic cart, do you?

　After receiving today's purchase amount in return for the swallow's favor, Elsa said something like that.

''Magic cart?''
It's a must-have item for everyone.

　Elsa said and turned her attention to the other buyers.
　If you ask me, most of the adventurers are indeed pulling something like a cart.
　Or rather, I remember the three guys that were there earlier were also pulling the same thing.

　I'm sure everyone has one, that means it's a magic cart.
　I didn't understand what was magical about it.

Why is it a requirement?
The magic cart has several useful features. First of all, it can hold roughly twice as much stuff as it looks.
Double it?
Double it.

　Elsa nodded.
　I looked at the nearest cart.
　It's about the same size as a home improvement cart.
　At a glance, it looks like it's going to hold a lot of stuff, but it's twice as big as this one.
　That's pretty good.

There's also a feature that only the owner can take out to prevent theft, anti-vandalism to prevent monsters from attacking, and a weightless drop that doesn't weigh anything. You can also add many other types and optional features, but the basic idea is this.
'It's all very useful for dungeon diving,'
Yes, that's why they say it's a must-have.

　I see.
　With those features, it's certainly a must-have.
　Or rather, I want one.

　Yesterday and today, I filled up the amount I could carry, but when I tried to get out of the office on time, I didn't have enough time to go back and forth, so I left early.

　I can earn more money when I can carry a lot of stuff, regardless of weight.
　Even if I just simulated it in my head for a minute, I can see why that guy is called a "must have".

Where do I get that?
There's a cart shop in town where you can buy them.
Okay, thank you.

　I thanked Elsa and left the store.
　Emily was waiting for me in the sunset.

"Hi, honey.
Goodnight, sir.
'Do you have a moment before you go?　I want to see the magic cart.
Mr. Yoda, would you like to buy a magic cart?
'From what I've heard, it sounds like it would be more convenient to have one. Have you ever used a magic cart, Emily?
'I have one. I was in a dungeon with someone else before, and he had it.

Yeah, how'd it go?
His was a very expensive car. It came with an effect that allowed the party to gradually recover its MP.
'There's such a thing!

I've heard that's an option. It's very expensive.
'Oh, by the way, what did they say about options?'

　As I walk out with Emily, I think about it.
　Then again, I'd still like to have a magic cart.

　I'm sure there are many more options besides what I just heard.

'I knew there were a lot of beneficial effects for adventurers.
'Yes. Some of them are completely hobbyist, but many of them are aids for adventurers to kill monsters in dungeons and drop them. Because everything in this world is produced in dungeons.
Okay.

　I wanted it more and more.
　Then I got curious, and watched people passing by as I walked the streets.
　Once I became curious, I started to notice them more and more.

　There are quite a few adventurers pulling and pushing magic carts.
　Some of them let animals pull them or people ride on them.

　It's true, there are a lot of things.
　Yeah, I want one.

　　　　　☆

　I've learned that just wanting the world doesn't help.

'Gee, you must cheer up.

　Emily comforted me as I slumped my shoulders.
　I went to the magic cart shop, but I dared to lose out on the expensive ones.

　Because they're all priced at a million piro or two million piro or something like that.
　The more options we added like monster detection and ability check, the more expensive they were, and the more options we added to the latest models, the more expensive they were.

　To be honest, it's exactly the same as buying a car.

"Well, you know, we also have a used one.
'Used. Even ...... seems to have some pitfalls when it's used.
'Well, yes. Actually, the amount of items you put on it will gradually decrease as you use it. Plus, sometimes the stuff you put in it gets swallowed up.
I'm scared.
But they are very cheap. Some of them cost less than 100,000 pounds.

　No matter how cheap it is, it's useless if there's a problem.
　It's the same feeling around here as buying a car after all.

Well, let's accumulate and buy a proper one sooner or later.
Yes, sir.

　Well, let's just hope that I'll get stronger and be able to produce higher things on the deeper levels of the dungeon.

　I've changed my mind about that.
　I'm going home with Emily now.

　I'm going home to the warm and friendly home that Emily has set up for me.
　As soon as I put my mind to it, I was in a state of high spirits.
　Let's get home early and get some sleep, let's get some rest in the warm, bright house.

　Or so I thought.

I've found something.

　Suddenly, the city began to buzz.
　There were screams and roars from a distance, and people were panicking.
　If you look closely, you can see people running away from the direction of the noise.
　I asked Emily, "What's a haglemono?

What's a haggler?
It's about the monsters that show up in the city, and when they leave the dungeon, they become more violent and attack people at will than they are inside.
What's wrong with this? Why do you have to blame us adventurers?
'Many people don't want to fight Hagremonos because they don't drop any items at all, so it's not worth it. Monsters only drop items in dungeons.
Hey, hey.

　That's ridiculous.
　You don't fight them because they don't drop items.

　I saw people running away.
　I saw one of the houses crumbling away from me.
　A giant gorilla was there.
　A gorilla the size of a house.

"We can't leave him there. Let's go, Emily.
"--Hey!　Yes!

　Emily and I ran with her.
　We ran against the flow of people and got to the scene in no time at all.

　There were monsters there, with several buildings collapsing.
　The giant gorillas that I could see in the distance - what two of them!

　Oh, no, there are two of them.
　And I was thinking, "What am I gonna do to fight them?

"Ha-ha!
Formation Smaleca, here we go.
You ain't got nothing!
......

　A group of four men appeared from the other side and attacked one of the gorillas.

'That's .......'
It's Eve.

　The one who showed up was Eve and her companion (?) that she had encountered earlier. It was a group of people.
　The foursome attacked the gorillas in a breathless attack.

''Awesome ...... those people, they are all strong.''
'That's not the point!　We'll take this one!
"--!　Yes, sir.

　Leaving Eve and the others to deal with the other side, Emily and I attacked the other gorilla.
　As I charged in, the gorilla swung at me with a hammer punch with an arm bigger than a log.

'Yoda-san!'

　I caught it, sluggishly.
　It was a blow so strong that the ground under my feet cracked and caved in.

'It's okay!　But more importantly, fight back!
Yes, sir!

　He teamed up with Emily and engaged in a fierce battle with the gorilla.
　The gorilla was as strong as it looked.
　They were so powerful that they could gouge out the ground, grab collapsed buildings and throw them at you.
　If we fought with all our might and lost, there would be even more damage.
　When I thought that, I felt like I couldn't lose.

　I gave it everything I had to beat the gorilla.
　I'd take all of the attacks, and I'd restrain the gorilla as Emily swung her giant hammer at me, and follow up with a follow-up attack to make sure it hit.

　Other times, I would attack myself.

　I repeat the process, and finally my all-out body blow stabs it, and I manage to bring the gorilla down.
　The giant body collapses and slams down!　And the ground shook as he fell.

'Whew, you've managed it,'
Goodnight, sir.
Are you okay?
Yes, sir.

　I followed up, and Emily was unharmed.
　I was relieved to hear that.

　Suddenly I remembered to look at Eve and her friends.

"Nah, I don't want to pay for that. If she was in the dungeon, she would have dropped a tuna.
Still, it's not worth it. This guy's got a lot of tuna.
I know that much. It's a hell of a lot better than dropping anything at all.

　Eve and the other four had beaten the gorillas long ago, and their friends were swearing and Eve was fumbling around.
　None of them seemed to be wounded, and they seemed to have a much easier time of it than we did.

　I'm so lucky, I thought.
　As I was thinking about this, the people around me were cheering and thanking me.
　The people of the town who had been attacked by the gorillas had come to thank me.

　It felt a little good to help people and be thanked for it.

'Yo, Yoda, you're going home early.

　I don't know if I'm not used to being thankful, but Emily has been urging me on, as if I'm not located.
　It's cute, that's what I like about it.

　But I certainly don't want any more trouble. I can't wait to get home and get some rest in the warmth of my room.
　I was just about to leave, when, lo and behold, in front of me.

　And then, lo and behold, right in front of me.
　A gorilla dropped in front of me!
