## Synopsis

Nao's party wants to settle down in Laffan, but first they want to purchase a plot of land and pay for a house on that plot! As a result, they're in need of money once again, so they start taking on new kinds of adventurer work.

Nao's party has agreed to temporarily settle down in Laffan, but that means they have to begin saving up money again in order to purchase a plot of land and pay for the construction of a house. In order to earn money, they start with the basics and take on some well-paying gathering quests for herbs, while also aiming for other options that would rake in a lot of money, like harvesting magical mushrooms and capturing giant salamanders. However, there's no such thing as easy money, so their goal of achieving a relaxing and peaceful life in this different world is still a distant dream. Money comes and goes; that's the harsh reality that Nao's party has to face.

## Afterwords

> Hello, it’s been a while. I’m Itsuki Mizuho, and I wanted to thank you all for your continued support of my works. There may be some people who only began reading my work the other day, though. By that, I mean that volumes one and two of Management of Novice Alchemist are now available for purchase from Fujimi Fantasia Bunko! At least, I think and hope that’s the case; volume two hasn’t been released yet as of the writing of this afterword. The cute art for this series is by Fuumi-san, so please check it out!

>  All right, that should be enough blatant self-promotion for now. Let’s get started with the contents of this volume. In one scene, when assigning colors to different spells, Nao’s party describes the three primary colors as red, yellow, and blue. Actually, the exact colors I had in mind were cyan, magenta, and yellow. Cyan’s closer to a light greenish-blue, and magenta’s closer to a bright purplish-red. However, it would be kind of weird to go into that much detail in a normal conversation, so I wrote them talking about red, yellow, and blue for simplicity’s sake. On a sidenote, the primary colors of light are red, green and blue, and that’s what RGB usually stands for.

>  Another thing I wanted to mention in regard to this volume is the character of Sai-kun, who shows up in the last side story, the chapter right before this afterword. He’s a character who doesn’t show up in the web novel version of this series. Well, I had planned out his character and what his actions were going to be when he first arrived in the other world, but I didn’t plan to write them out at all. My plan was for him to show up much later in the web novel. However, I was granted enough extra pages for this volume that I decided to go ahead and have him appear here. I plan to write more about him as he makes some small mistakes here and there while exploring the world with fellow adventurers who he gets along with quite well. The next step in his story is going to a dungeon city with his party and becoming more experienced and stronger as an adventurer in his own right. In a way, it’s kind of a standard narrative, but his party is all male, so it probably wouldn’t fly as the main plot of a light novel. Their party would crumble in no time if a girl approached them, after all!

> In addition, the manga version of To Another World... with Land Mines! (with beautiful art by Relucy-san) is now being published by Shonen Ace Plus . Haruka’s very cute in the manga, so please check it out as well! Last but not least, I’d like to thank Nekobyou Neko-san for the hard work on things like the design of Yuki and Natsuki’s clothes. I really appreciate your gorgeous art.
