「Nana, your goal from now on is serious level grinding, okay?」

The next day. As I woke up, I was informed by Rin-chan about what the plans would be from now on.

Yesterday, in the end, I wasn’t able to log in, and it became a sudden break from streaming.

Touka-chan seemed like she was getting busy with her school, so she temporarily returned home.

But still, thinking about the time it took her to commute from her house to her school, rather than forcing her to come to us, it would be easier to meet her in the game, which would give her more time to play as well.

It seems like Saku-chan was already at the 4th town. We talked about playing together once I caught up to him. His attitude of being busy with school, part time jobs and getting into games hadn’t changed at all.

「Nana, do you remember the details of the quest you have received?」

Being brought back to reality by Rin-chan, I traced back my memories.

I had a meeting with Shuten at that mysterious shrine. And the extra quest that came out from our conversation was, 《Shrine of the Edge: -The Underworld of the Kishin-》.

「I’m sure that when I raised the expertise of 《Douji》 to over 30, I have to go to the place of beginnings….something like that.」

「Well, make sure to check it properly later. What’s important is the shrine at the edge of the place of beginnings. Is there something that comes to your mind from this keywords?」

「It’s the Town of Beginning and the Forest of the Edge, right?」

Regarding Rin-chan’s question, I had the same thoughts when I heard it.

Beyond the south plains of the Town of Beginnings, in the depth of the paradise of wolves where I fought against Aria,  there was a wide-area dungeon called 《Forest of the Edge》.

Originally, my detection skill was something Rin-chan recommended for me to get so that I could go conquer the Forest of the Edge.

And then there was a shrine there. I didn’t know the exact details, but at least, these places are impossible not to think of when you hear the key words「Beginning」 and 「The edge」.

「You’re right. Regarding the shrine at the edge, to be honest, I don’t really know anything about it either. That dungeon was just ridiculously big, but additionally, there are strong monsters despite it being near the Town of Beginning, no one knows why it was placed there. But, thanks to the quests you have taken, I can somewhat see through what it is.」

「Is it about the dungeon regarding 《Douji》?」

「It is also like that, but….most likely, that shrine is not only limiting itself for kijins but has something important hidden in it for other races as well. I can’t declare that it’s for all races, but I think it serves as something you would call a door.」

It seemed like she had no definite proof, but Rin-chan seemed to be confident about it.

A door. Certainly, guessing from the details of the quest that I received, I was sure that the shrine at the edge serves as some sort of door.
