 Chapter 2: Traces That Connect "Today's one is... here, it's like this... Heh. What a weird shape..." The night had deepened and Kanata lay wrapped in a sleeping bag stitched together from scraps of cloth while writing something onto a stone with a piece of charcoal. Relying on the crackling light of the campfire nearby, he peered closely at the Rubbish he'd picked up that day. Kanata's hobby of collecting Rubbish had started two years ago, the same time when he began battlefield scavenging. His father was long gone and his whereabouts unknown. His mother had gone into town to shop one day and died shielding a noble's child, right in front of him. The people of his old village were all good, decent folk but naturally none of them had been wealthy enough to keep an orphaned child around for long. A little over a year later, Kanata found his way to the Karejasu Mercenary Company. He was eight years old at the time. It wasn't as though he'd been drag...

 Chapter 18: The Billion-Yen Retirement Plan I'd finished up today's exploring and made it back home. A twenty-year-old two-room apartment in Hachioji City. I'd picked this place for being close to my university but now that I was an Explorer, it turned out to be a great find for a whole different reason. The rent was 60,000 yen. With that said, I was still living off my allowance so I owed my parents plenty of thanks for that. I was already earning income as an Explorer so it wasn't like I couldn't cover it myself... but I figured I'd let myself mooch off them a little longer. I stepped into my room and sank into the sofa. Normally, I'd feel a fair amount of fatigue after getting back from the dungeon, but not today. Right — I'd finally lifted the ban on taking a taxi home. Shimotsuki-san had given me an exasperated look over it. I even got a "Must be nice, being so well-off" out of her. Nice. Today's income was 28,900 yen. At that rate, s...

 Chapter 4: Encounter "Yep, perfect weather for exorcising!" After transferring trains and riding a bus for about two hours, they finally arrived at their destination: a privately owned mountain somewhere in a certain prefecture. "Is there really such a thing as perfect weather for exorcising? Come to think of it, I guess a clear afternoon really isn't great conditions for a youma." As a general rule, youma, evil spirits, vengeful spirits and the like grow stronger at night and the later it gets, the stronger they become. In broad daylight under a clear sky like this, that strength really did get suppressed. That said, the effect only really applied to youma at Minor Rank or below. Once you got to Mid Rank or above, they were tough opponents day or night. "So let me check one more time, this youma we're after this time..." "Yeah. What got reported to me is a Low Rank small-fry youma which is shaped like a boar. It's been prowling the mount...

 Chapter 1: Kanata's Hobby The Karejasu Mercenary Company was a small but elite group. With its Leader included, only around ten of them actually fought as mercenaries on the battlefield and now fifteen battlefield-scavenger children had found shelter with the company as well. Based in the southern reaches of the Kingdom of Starrei, it had built up a reputation. This particular war had started for a ridiculous reason: a petty squabble between villages that ballooned into a feud between their lords. The Karejasu Mercenary Company had been hired by one side to fight in it. "Worse than some kids' squabble... Damn it all..." In the campsite lit by the fire, Uval, captain of the Karejasu Mercenary Company, grumbled between swigs of liquor. As a mercenary, a third party to the dispute, this whole war struck him as genuinely pointless and not worth fighting at all. It was a war between two small territories and he'd taken the job expecting one side to back down before lo...

 Chapter 17: 500,000 Yen a Month, and a Dedicated Receptionist I called it quits for the day at a reasonable point. I left the dungeon and made my way back to the lobby of the Hachioji Guild. It was 4 p.m. Most Explorers were probably still out exploring inside the dungeon. Even at a Guild as busy as this one, the lobby was fairly empty. The moment we stepped out of the dungeon, Lapis glanced all around, but it looked like none of her Explorer friends were here today. She looked a little downcast at first, but then her face lit up as she turned toward the counter. One of the receptionists she liked to chat with happened to be free right now. She'd spotted Lapis and was waving her over. "Touya-san, I'm going to go say hi real quick!" I'd already transferred all the drops Lapis had collected inside the dungeon into my bag on the way back. Since I could handle the check-in on my own, so as usual, I let her do as she pleased. "Sure thing." Looking delighted,...
