#1007 Hiking Season

This might bring up an old story, but...

 

Let me tell you about this one time...

 

Out of nowhere, someone suddenly declared, “Let’s start a mountain club!”

 

That someone was Golden Bat, an S-rank adventurer. After a bit of drama when he quit the Adventurer’s Guild, he got the wild idea to start a mountain club to compete with the guild.

 

Silver Wolf and I managed to talk him down and get him back into the guild at...

#1006 The Saintess and the Virgin Goddess

The ground erupted in flames, and from those flames emerged a goddess.

 

You probably don’t understand what I’m talking about, but… Well, maybe you do.

This sort of thing isn’t too out of the ordinary on the farm.

If a phoenix can rise from the flames, why not a woman?

In this world, it’s just common sense.

 

Oh, and just to put your mind at ease, the area on fire is a field we were planning to clear anyway, so there’s no need to...

#1005 The Saintess’ Development

Heyyyy. It’s me again.

Feels like it’s been forever, huh?

 

Well, that’s because ever since Platy and the others announced their pregnancies, it’s been a whirlwind every single day.

Seriously, it was like a baby explosion.

 

Almost every couple we know is expecting, so we’ve been busy with celebrations, preparing for the births, and dealing with morning sickness. It’s been topsy-turvy.

 

Thankfully...the young bachelor...

#1004 The Birth of a New S-Rank Adventurer

Adventurer’s Guild, Reception Room.

 

I, Murshela, was suddenly ambushed by none other than the legendary Silver Wolf seated right across from me.

 

“Silver Wolf Martial Arts: Fang Crusher Fist!!!”

“Whoa-!”

 

I barely managed to react in time to the perfect surprise attack.

I dodged the first few rapid punches, maybe five, but they were coming too fast for me to keep up. I had to jump back to avoid getting hit.

#1003 I, Who Have Been Told to Quit by an S-Rank Adventurer, the Guild Master Took Me In and Acknowledged My True Potential

I’m Murshela.

I’m an A-rank adventurer who has supported Lord Golden Bat until now, but today, I got fired.

 

The reason was that he wanted to try out an ‘expulsion template.’“

I have no idea what that means.

 

He said he wants to see what happens after he kicks me out, even though I’ve been his loyal sidekick for years.

 

—“Once you’ve figured it all out, report back!” he said as he sent me off.<...

#1002 An S-Rank Adventurer’s Assistant

My name’s Murshela.

 

I’m an A-rank adventurer under the Adventurer’s Guild.

 

Then again, it’s not that I’ve got a bunch of impressive feats under my belt or anything.

I just happen to be one of those lucky folks who just sort of slipped through the ranks to the top.

Kinda like finding a golden ticket in a candy bar.

 

In my case, my biggest stroke of luck is being the exclusive supporter of the legendary S-rank adventu...

Before me stands a goddess, her veins throbbing with vexation...

She looks familiar.

#999 Maternity Rhapsody 8: Mendel’s Mystery

I’m Silver Wolf, the S-Class adventurer.

 

Whoops... Take two.

That was my old intro.

Now, I’m Silver Wolf, the Guild Master of the Adventurer’s Guild.

Old habits die hard, you know?

 

Last year, I finally retired from adventuring and fully took on the role of Guild Master.

Now I have more time and can handle my duties with ease, and even enjoy some leisure time.

 

A bit more free time, you know?

#998 Maternity Rhapsody 7: A Rewarded Workaholic

My name is Mamoru.

A Heavenly One of the Demon King’s Army. They call me Mamoru the Coveted.

 

Back in my officer days, I earned the nickname Mamoru of the Shadows.

I got this name because I worked quietly and effectively in the background, supporting the Heavenly Four without drawing attention to myself.

I also had the task of constantly guarding the daughter of my superior from all sorts of unsavory characters—minor nobles looking for an advantageous m...

My name is Batemy.

A woman who’s lived quite the rollercoaster of a life.

 

I was born in a remote village near the border of the Demon Kingdom, where the old human army attacked and scattered my family.

Young and alone, I joined the Demon King’s Army to survive, quickly climbing the ranks to become an aide to one of the Heavenly Four.

But then, trouble knocked on my door again.

Heavenly One Astres lost a power struggle and was deposed. Naturally, ...

My name’s Orkubo.

Orkubo the orc.

 

After work, I like to unwind at Bacchus izakaya next to the farm before heading home.

 

“...Boss, gimme a shochu with hot water, light on the water, please.”

“You’ve been coming here a lot lately, haven’t you?”

 

Have I?

Maybe. Or maybe I’m here every day.

 

But can you blame me?

It’s almost like a tradition for me to have a drink or two here.

#995 Maternity Rhapsody 4: Bitter Enemies in the Same Boat

I quit being Prime Minister!

Or, to put it another way, “Zoth Syra quits being Prime Minister!”

 

I mean, there’s no way I can juggle both raising a kid and being Prime Minister!

Being Prime Minister alone is tough enough! It’s a no-brainer!

 

And raising a child is just as demanding!

I’ve seen Platy and Puffer wrestling with their little ones up close!

 

So, I’ve got to choose one or the other, and if I have to ...

Gwynn Dragon Bloody Mary, still in utter confusion!

 

“Calm down! Calm down, Mary! Don’t think too hard. It’s not good for the baby!”

 

Really, Father? This was your idea in the first place!

 

Are dragons born from eggs or do they give live birth?

Are we mammals or reptiles?!

 

If I switch from dragon form to human form while pregnant, will it affect the baby?!

My father sent me to this farm, and everything here is so new and exciting!

I was not granted standard education, but three times a week, I use teleportation magic to go to the Farm School, and it’s a lot of fun.

Every time, I learn something completely new!

 

At first, I was terrified of Sensei, but he’s actually a great person.

I never expected the vegetables in the field to suddenly tech up and symmetrically dock and then, to top it off, say something like, “I shall transcend human and beast to become a god!” You’re vegetables, for crying out loud.

 

Stuff like this happens all the time on our farm. Come spring, the veggies start dancing, transforming, and combining themselves.
