(POV Third Person)
"Okay, you guys ready? Then let's go." Dafa said that with his usual sluggish tone, after he saw all the people who had gathered in front of the entrance of Orobas Castle.
There, Dafa sits on a staircase that connects the castle door with a large empty area at the other end, with Orobas sitting on his shoulder, and three of his comrades were seen walking towards him, from the door of the castle.
Looking at the three people, Dafa immediately got up and walked away to the bottom, which of course was followed by his three colleagues.
After they arrived at the empty area in front of Orobas Castle, Akane then became the first to decide to speak.
"What city are we going to, Bani?"
After all, last night, Dafa did not tell these three people, as to which city he was going to, and he simply said, that tomorrow he would just tell them, that tomorrow he would, by the time they were about to go to the city.
That was why, Akane immediately asked that question to Dafa, which the teenager immediately responded with his usual indifferent tone.
"We will go to Lalatian City, it is the nearest city, which is one of the cities of the Aumania State. Aumania State itself is one of the five countries located on the side of the Continent, which is located on the waterfront of this side of the Continent."
Dafa explained it as he began walking, heading North from the Castle, with others following him nearby.
After that, there was no one who asked back, where it was because the three people who did not have anything to question anymore, considering last night Dafa had answered all the questions that the three people had.
So, that was why, the four people then spent their time in tranquility, as they continued walking towards Lalatian City, which was not far from there.

While the Dafa group began its journey, on the side of Souji's group, they seemed to start wanting to continue their journey as well.

(POV Souji)
"Souji-san, is Orc meat really eating?"
I then immediately turned my gaze towards Kyouya, where this person seemed to be looking at me doubtfully.
"Just calm down, I've already checked it using my Unique Skill. In fact, Mirai-kun had already checked it as well, and he had said, that Orc meat can indeed be used as food."
Like I just said, if before we started our search for Orcs, we all had time to check, about what monster meat can be eaten.
And, the reason for that was, because we had previously met an Orc, where the EXP we got from the Orc, could be said, quite a lot as well.
So, we thought, if hunting them, it might increase our efficiency in leveling up, considering the EXP we got from them could be said to be quite a lot.
That was why, right now, I along with the others were walking towards Handel Town, while searching for an Orc along the way, just to raise our levels.
After all, in addition to being a fairly good EXP field, these Orcs can also be used as a source of our income later, because it seems like anyway, their meat is quite in search among the Bangsawasan, as well, which means if sold will be quite expensive.
"Although that is so, why should an Orc? Are there no other types of monsters we can use?"
The one who muttered in this lethargic tone was Nagisa, at the moment she started playing with a sword that was in her hand.
Not only Nagisa, but most of the women in this group, they look as sluggish as Nagisa, where they all seem to disagree with the search for the Orc.
In addition, ignoring the Orc hunt that we were doing, where it seemed to be a bit not going well, considering that we only managed to find two Orcs...
Ahem! The point is, in addition to that, I also have to think about the plan, about what we will do next, after we managed to arrive at Handel Town.
After all, our ultimate goal is not to arrive in the city, but to find our way home to return to Earth, which means we need to do things, just to find that information.
It's just... 'How do I do that? Do I need to become a high Rank Adventurer? Or do I need to open a store, where later the store will be the main place for us to look for information?'
Although I already had some options in my mind, but the problem was, I was still confused, having to choose which one, plus I still needed to tell others about it, which means, I also need to listen to the advice of all of them.
However, as if I could hear what I was thinking about, Shinomiya-san somehow asked me something, which was really related to the thing I just thought about.
"By the way, Shimotsuki-kun. What are we going to do, once we make it to Handel Town?"
Of course, I who heard the question, I immediately woke up from my daydream.
Where, I soon realized, if it wasn't just Shinomiya-san, but everyone I was with, they all started looking at me with wondering eyes.
I alone, I can only repay him with this; "Once you go. Maybe, we could be an Adventurer, or a trader."
"According to Sensei, it is better to be a trader. Because, it seems much less dangerous, than having to be an Adventurer." Ayano-sensei immediately replied to me, before everyone who was with us agreed to it.
"I agree with you, Mikasa-sensei. Being a trader, it seems much better, than having to be an Adventurer." Shinomiya-san immediately agreed to it, which Nagisa immediately followed; "True what Hina-chan and Mikasa-sensei said. We'd rather be traders than adventurers."
Then, the rest immediately agreed to it as well, with a nod of their heads.
Howwasyouranswer? Of course, I also decided to agree to it, just nodding my head, before we continued on our way.
.....
....
...
Just like that, time passed quite quickly, where without us knowing it, the afternoon had arrived, which of course caused us to decide to find a resting place for tonight.
After finding the place, I then immediately prepared a dinner, which must have been helped by Shinomiya-san, Nagisa, Ayano-sensei, and Sanada.
After dinner, I had a little chat, before each of us decided to go to bed, where I also did not forget to put a barrier around us, before I go to sleep too.
However, what I did not realize at that time was, some less pleasant eye gazes, where it emerged from the depths of the forest very deep, and it's staring at us in a way that's not very pleasant.
