I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…-Chapter 57: Revisiting the Den
The group had visited various shops, but Logan was particularly drawn to the magical tool shop, wanting to spend more time there.
He got various ideas with each new item shown.
Some tools were simple, like heating using fire mana stones or producing water using water magic stones. One tool he was particularly interested in was a combination of wind and earth stones to produce a small but primitive motor.
If he had a production class that could work with these, he would invest time into improving that particular invention. However, he considered the potential problems it could cause and decided to push those thoughts aside.
After an hour of shopping, Logan had bought everything he came for: three monsters, all the items needed to make traps, tools, a few storage rings to help store more water, and, if possible, magical crystals.
His sack of coins did not dwindle in the slightest with everything he bought.
Logan had so far only used the coins that fell out of his large coin bag this morning—the few platinum and gold coins. This meant his wealth would last for some time, or at least he hoped.
"I am tired just from shopping; I hope we can go to a café or eat something before we go," Kai said, while rubbing his stomach.
"I’m sorry, Kai, but we need to head out or I will miss what I need to do next. How about we order takeout?" Logan suggested, but was met with everyone staring at him in confusion.
However, he quickly realized that he was with three otherworlders who did not understand what he meant, as some words could not be translated well.
He had forgotten that magic was used to help the heroes adjust to this world, including his ability to speak in the common tongue.
"You know, like one would take a sandwich to eat at a picnic," Logan explained.
"Oh, that helps when deep in the forest. True, we would just order and place it in our storage—just make sure not to forget. One time, I placed a drumstick into my storage bag and forgot about it. I took it out almost a year later, and it seemed safe. But once I took a bite, it was like eating sewer slime. It was the worst thing I tasted in my life." Kai reeled in disgust just recalling the memory.
"You should periodically remove everything in your storage, clean, and store it again. I’ve heard of infectious diseases caused by not doing so… even potions struggled to cure them," Chloe added.
"Okay, okay, let’s change the subject, also we should take food we can eat along the way. After that, we need to go into the forest. Do you think they will let us go into the southern area where we found the goblin den?" Logan asked.
"I’m sure they have cleansed that area out. It was the first place we reported, and hunters still need to hunt game, so they can’t keep people away from the forest for too long," Chloe replied.
"Well then, we have our destination planned. Let’s move quickly—we have at most three hours to go in and back out before night comes," Rubina said, haggard from the day’s events but knowing she could be useful in case something unexpected happened.
The team hurried and bought what they needed for their outing. After doing so, they met James, one of the Rosengards’ drivers, and began to ride towards the Southern BeastClaw Forest.
It wasn’t such a long trip, and Logan noticed that his usual car sickness didn’t happen anymore; he didn’t feel quite like himself, though.
An outing just wasn’t the same without the rest of his tamed beasts. He wanted to hop on and feel the wind on his new raptor mount. He even missed his slime’s soothing touch as it hugged him from beneath his shirt, acting like a portable temperature regulator.
They arrived in the same area where they had previously seen a lot of adventurers roaming about. Just like their previous visit, everyone was there, minding their own business.
Some male Knights and adventurers stared at Rubina and Chloe, but Kai’s glare was enough to make them stop having second thoughts about approaching.
Stopping to eat for a while before heading into the goblin den, they made sure to fill themselves to the brim, knowing it would take strength to reach the bottom of the cave.
Entering the forest was probably the best part for his new serpent, which quickly rushed forth trying to find prey. Even Logan’s words did not stop the newly tamed beast.
His new owl was still perched on his shoulder. It was a little heavier than Zephyr, but it seemed to enjoy riding on Logan’s shoulder.
[Master, want to sleep,] it said, placing a wing over its face. Amazingly, it balanced itself on his shoulder throughout the journey with the help of its four strange limbs.
[Ping] Logan suddenly heard someone level up. The only one that could have done so had come back slithering.
Basilisk had returned, with a noticeable bulge in its body, moving slower than before.
[Massster, ssatissfied,] it said, trailing behind everyone.
[Alright, just still close this time, make sure you are with the team,] He warned his new reptilian tame.
Chloe led the group to the area they had explored last time. It was challenging without Zephyr, but some landmarks, like distinctive rocks and peculiar trees, helped her remember the location, especially with the group pitching in ideas and memories.
Soon they reached the area with a revolting stench; the place was as dirty as ever.
"Okay, there is no doubt this is the place, but before we take one more step, I need to know why we are here again. I don’t think anyone is crazy enough to tame more than one goblin. Forgive me, Sir Logan, but I know you wouldn’t come here for that," Chloe finally asked, wondering if it was worth the effort to enter the wretched place.
"About that, I think it will be better if you two see what is at the very bottom of this place, I won’t ask you to enter with me but do know it is something important for me." Logan said, not fully intending to have them trust him.
It would be even better if both Chloe and Kai stayed behind and yet he knew that it would help if they also came along.
"Fine, but if it’s not worth my time, I will be charging you for this particular protection, Logan…" Chloe decided to trust the boy; he had not done anything to prove her wrong yet.

"I don’t really care if we go in, but at least tell me it isn’t for any of those pale blue monsters. I wasn’t expecting to fight today, and I don’t want to ruin my brand new shiny ceremonial sword," Kai begged, lifting his gold and silver sword to hug it.
"Don’t worry, I did not encounter any beasts down there, and I doubt we will see any, as during our short walk we didn’t find any traces of mutations," Logan replied.
"Alright, I will believe you then. Let’s go…" Kai said, using his fingers to pinch his nose.
