Walking, Chapter 118: Boisterous dinner time

Yume Neiji

“The atmosphere is very lively and fun.”

“We also caught a glimpse of the cherry blossom viewing festival, and it was very exciting.”

As everyone was having fun, the Margrave and the group of Holy Knights arrived. A group of about thirty Holy Knights had also taken off their armor and were dressed in knightly uniforms.

The Holy Knights couldn’t help but smile when they saw the children having fun.

“Speaking of which, do some of you know the Holy Knights? The last time they patrolled was before the current priest was assigned, right?”

“That’s right. It’s true that there haven’t been any Holy Knight patrols since the current priest took over.”

The chairman of the executive committee is talking to the former Margrave.

Apparently, the Holy Knight regularly patrols each territory.

Hmm…. in that case, the Holy Knights may not have been aware of the current situation of the church.

Then, another person appeared in the party room.

“Oh, everyone’s here. Things are starting to move over here too huh.”

“I see. You started working on that too I guess.”

Appearing in the party room were the Guild Master and the Deputy Guild Master. They are talking to the Margrave about something.

But what it is though?

“Shun, you guessed that maybe there is someone in the guild who is connected to the church, right?”

“Yes. Ah! Did that person start making his move?”

“That’s right. The cherry blossom festival just ended today, and I told the guild staff members that we were going to the Lord’s mansion. To my headache, several people started to move.”

The guild master said so with a wry smile.

But now he was able to identify the suspicious person in the adventurer’s guild.

Then the Margrave began to speak to us.

“At present, the knights of our territory are guarding the church, and we have also closed the gates leading from this town to other places.”

“Are we going to do it tonight?”

“That’s right. So, I’m sorry, I can’t serve alcohol this time.”

“What are you saying? Don’t worry, we can celebrate again after we’ve cleaned them up.”

““““That’s right!””””

It seems that they are planning to raid the church all at once when the time comes.

The executive committee chairman and the others also had their weapons from their bags drawn and answered with enthusiasm.

Ahem, and even the wife and the daughter of the executive committee chairman have a mace.

Anyway, enough of that topic and let’s get to the meal.

“At one point, the cherry blossom viewing festival was in danger of being cancelled, but thanks to everyone, we were able to finish it off with a bang. We still can’t let our guard down, but for now, please enjoy your meal to the fullest.”

““Ou!””

“Now let’s have a toast.”

“““Cheers!”””

With the Margrave’s toast, the meal officially began.

Everyone toasted with juice and started eating.

“Shun-oniichan, this meat is delicious.”

“Mmmm. It’s curry-flavored meat.”

“I can eat a lot of this.”

“Well, that’s good. But let’s eat slowly without rushing, okay?”

The chef at the mansion have devised a dish in which curry was rubbed into the meat and grilled afterwards. Not only Shiro, Fran and Horn, but also the other children were eating curry-flavored meat deliciously.

“Oneechan, can we eat with you?”

“Sure. Come over.”

At the table of the female adventurers and the daughter of the executive committee chairman, children came to the table while bringing food.

Looking more closely, I saw that in addition to the shopping district committee members and the Margrave’s family, the other children were also heading to the Holy Knight’s table.

Naturally, everyone was smiling as they dine with the children.

It seems that the children did their best to serve customers during the cherry blossom viewing festival, so they lost a little shyness.

“Everyone has such a good smile on their faces. I hope they continue to grow up steadily.”

“Yes.”

Hearing the words of his wife, who looked at the children with a smile, the former Margrave nodded deeply.

Thus, the meal ended amicably.

Chapter 241: Just turn into desert dust

Yume Neiji

“““Hyahaha~~~~!”””

“You can’t run away from us!”

“Just be obedient and let yourself be caught! If you do that, we’ll be a little gentler. Hahahaha!”

A harsh shout echoed from behind. Desperately running on the sand, trying to get away from them, was a group of about a dozen women.

“Haa haa…… Kuu…… We can’t get caught in a place like this!”

The leader of the group, Eleonore, was breathing heavily as she continues to run for her life. Unfortunately, the distance between them and the bandits are steadily shrinking.

They are being pursued by a group of more than 20 bandits.

A group of bandits who haunt the desert are called sand bandits. They tame the Sand Lizard, a lizard monster that lives in the desert, and use it as a means of transportation.

Even though Eleonore and her companions wore special shoes suitable for traveling in the desert on foot, there was no way they could escape from the bandits who straddled this monster.

“Haa-, I-, I’m already at my limit….…”

“Anne……!”

“No, Eleonore-sama! D-don’t worry about me, just run away…… uwah!”

One of her companions reaches the limit of her strength and collapses on the sand. She remained lying down as she can no longer get up.

“That won’t do! You’ve fought alongside me up until now. I can’t just abandon you!”

Eleonore stops in her tracks and runs back to Anne.

In the end, the group of bandits catches up to them.

“There she is! No mistaking it, it’s that woman! Hahaha! This is a big success for us!”

“Hey, we can kill everyone expect for that woman, right? What should we do to the others then?”

“Come on, isn’t that obvious? We’ve got a lot of young, lively women here, let’s do it before we kill them!”

“““Hyahaha~~~~!”””

Revealing their obscene desires, the sand bandits jump off the Sand Lizard one after another.

“(In fact, this is to my advantage…! They even took the trouble to get off that lizard!)”

Eleonore was inwardly grateful for her good fortune.

She knows that she can’t win against the sand bandits mounted on a lizard. But once they get down on the sand, she still has a chance.

Not only are they outnumbered, but Eleonore and her companions are exhausted from traveling long distances across the desert.

—However, they are all skilled warriors after all.

“Gaa!? W-what the hell!? These women are insanely strong!?”

“We are Queen Embara’s protectors. We will not fall in the hands of bandits!”

Surprisingly, it’s the sand bandits who are having a hard time now. They can’t seem to break down the group that’s made up entirely of women.

While the sand bandits were charging forward chaotically, the other women responded with coordinated movements. Moreover, their fighting spirit was overwhelmingly high, which greatly compensated for the loss caused by fatigue.

While commanding the group, Eleonore was wielding her sword with a ferociousness that was hard to believe that it’s coming from a woman.

“You underestimated women and lost your cool because of your lust. That’s the cause of your defeat. Alright, just turn into desert dust! Haaa!!”

“Guaah……”

One by one, the bandits are slashed and their numbers are reduced.

However, the number of bandits was more than twice as many as Eleonore’s group. Even though the bandits were losing their comrades, their morale was boosted because it meant that they didn’t have to fight over a woman, so they never backed down.

Eventually, Eleonore and the others succumb to their force.

“……This is the end huh…… Kuu! I hate it……”

“Hyahaha! You really gave us so much trouble there. Now then, let’s have some fun, shall we?”

The women were tied up with ropes and they rolled on the sand. The surviving sand bandits, with lewd smiles on their faces, rush to jump on top of them.

“And of course, I’ll take care of you well.”

A man approaches Eleonore.

Eleonore glared at him with eyes that looked like she is going to kill, but the man twisted the corners of his mouth in delight.

“Hihihi, that defiant look on your face is actually quite arousing you know.”

“Damn you bastard!”

Then just as the man’s hand tried to rip her clothes off, “Ji~~”

“Hn? What was that?”

Perhaps sensing the presence of something, the man involuntarily stopped his movement and turned his gaze.

“……Huh?”

The man was stunned.

Wondering what the hell he saw, Eleonore also turned to the side belatedly.

“T-there’s a weird baby heeeeeeeerrre!?”

She involuntarily exclaimed.

Walking, Chapter 117: Led to the party room

Yume Neiji

“““Hello!”””

“Welcome everyone. We’ve been waiting for you guys.”

When we arrived at the mansion, the wife of the former Margrave greeted us.

The committee members of the shopping street had already arrived at the mansion, so we were led to the party room where the event was held. The wife of the former Margrave and the chamberlain were the ones who guided us there.

It is said that the Margrave’s mansion has a large room where dancing and parties can be held.

“There are times when guests come from the royal capital or the nobles from the surrounding area gather. When they do, we also entertain them in the party room.”

The wife of the former Margrave told me about it. I think it’s really hard to be a Margrave because you have to deal with a lot of people.

With that in mind, we arrived at the party room.

“Oh, here you are. This way, this way.”

“Sorry to keep you waiting, Executive Committee Chairman.”

The party room had multiple tables so that we could have dinner, and the executive committee chairman and the other members of the shopping street were sitting at the back.

While we were sitting in the empty seats, the executive committee chairman who is sitting next to us, spoke.

“I wasn’t sure what to expect before the cherry blossom viewing festival, but in the end it was the biggest one ever.”

“Yes, I was surprised to see so many people there.”

“Haha, your food also had a great publicity effect.”

The chairman of the executive committee was in a pretty good mood as he talks to me. Well, given the church’s tyrannical behavior, it’s normal to worry.

Shortly after, the children who were being looked after at the Margrave’s mansion came briskly into the party room. Perhaps because they just took a bath, the children smelled good.

“Oh, you little kids came as well huh. Did you enjoy the cherry blossom viewing festival?”

“““It was fun!”””

“I see. Good, good. That’s great.”

The children were smiling while answering the questions of the executive committee chairman as they took their seats.

The children had suffered a lot of confinement, but they seemed to be able to smile again through the cherry blossom viewing festival. Fran and Horn are also smiling again, which is really good.

“This is also thanks to Shun and the adventurers. The children should be fine now.”

“You’re here, Master.”

“Yeah, I was bathing the kids. The most important thing for children is to be healthy.”

The former Margrave also came into the party room and had a chat with us. The Margrave’s family are acting as parents to the children.

Somehow, it seems that the former Margrave is also looking forward to interacting with the children.

“Despite his appearance, he likes interacting with children.”

“It’s well known in town that Master loves children. He often gives sweets to the children you see.”

“Wha-! Hey, can you just please keep my secret for a bit!”

“““Ahahaha!”””

His wife and the chairman of the executive committee revealed the secret of the former Margrave, and the children laughed when he got flustered.

But there was nothing wrong with it, and everyone was looking at the former Margrave with mirth.

Chapter 44: Monsters

Yume Neiji

Taking a break in the dungeon is not unusual. In any dungeon, monsters are less likely to appear near the stairs. Me and the Raven Warriors took a break in the staircase rest area that connects the 4th and 5th floor.

“A combination of skills huh…… That’s out of the norm again.”

Felix-san said this in amazement as he handed me some hot tea

With the entrance sealed off, the dungeon is quiet. The rest area also has chairs left by other adventurers, a simple toolbox and the remains of a bonfire.

“….I’m really amazed by you. Having more than two skills is already amazing, but the fact that they enhance each other’s effects is really incredible.”

The tea is said to restore magical power, but the warmth from it also calms the mind.

“It’s a given that it puts a strain on the body. Even with magic, it is difficult to use spells at the same time.”

“T-that’s right……”

“I’m sorry that I wasn’t much help. Actually, my head’s starting to hurt…..…”

“Ha, haha……”

It made me chuckle wryly, but it was something I really had to be careful of. After all, there was no point in collapsing upon using it.

Even while resting, the roars of the undead echo in the distance. Surrounded by the cold stone wall, the Southern Dungeon was terribly cold.

“…… Why are they all undead?”

Suddenly, such a question came to mind.

It seems that the design of dungeons varies depending on the god or believer that have taken refuge in it.

So what about monsters?

『…… Rion, can you hear me?』

It was Sigris’ voice.

『This dungeon is where I was sealed.』

I give a small nod.

『The reason why there are so many large rooms like in the cathedral is because there were so many warriors in the temple at the time, and Valkyria is responsible for healing human warriors. Therefore, there were many warriors who came here for treatment.』

Sigris continued.

『The reason there are so many undead here is because their weapons… or perhaps their bones have turned into monsters.』

“T-then, they’re people from a long time ago…?”

If that’s the case, the ones we’ve defeated up until now are…

『Rion, there’s nothing for you to worry about.』

Sigris spoke gently. But it feels like she’s forcing herself, and it makes my heart ache.

『They are, after all, undead made from bones and relics. They are different beings from the believers and warriors of that time.』

Then Sigris stopped talking after that.

I had another question in my mind, but I didn’t ask it out.

Monsters —they are something we fight all the time, but there are many different types, from creepy undead, dwarf-like goblins, and beast-like wargs.

If Skoll, who attacked the royal capital, was also a monster, then what were they really?

『I’ll explain it.』

The gold coin trembles, and Solana rushed out. She came out the size of a doll, and no one is paying attention to her, so I guess no one else can see her except for me.

I excused myself to Felix-san and then I left the Raven Warriors for a bit. If it’s an important story, I think it would be best to tell everyone, but the Gods might have their own ideas.

I’d like to think that they’ll believe them too, but I certainly don’t know how the warriors will take it……

“After humans were created by the Chief God, monsters were also born. I’ve told you about that, right?”

Solana’s words reminded me of the dream.

“Yes…… During the Ragnarok, they attacked alongside with the titans.”

“Then, Rion, what do you think of monsters?”

I think about it for a moment.

I’ve defeated them in dungeons, but I’ve never really thought about them. There were many different types and they all differed in size. I counted on my fingers the commonalities between them, like their hostility towards humans and their magic stones.

“They possess strong magical powers and…. they’re enemies of humans….. right?”

“Yes. The important point is that they possess magical powers.”

With her small arms, Solana pointed to a thick pillar.

Thanks to the faint glow of the goddess, only a portion of it was lit up. From where the faint light is, there was a carving from long ago that remained.

“Can you see it……?”

These traces of the mythical era are probably the reason why the Southern Dungeon is called the “Cathedral of Darkness”.

There is a large human figure on the left side of the carvings. Smaller animals and short-limbed human like figures are depicted on the right. All of the creatures on the right appear to be bowing their heads.

“They are….. they are bowing to the titans?”

“Many races have borrowed the power of titans to stand out from the other creatures. Goblins are dwarfs who have fallen into depravity, and the undead are monsters born from the wisdom of titans.”

I traced the mural. It’s cold as ice.

“I don’t think it’s a good idea to use the dead in this way, or to distort a living being in exchange for power.”

I couldn’t speak for a while.

“……Even monsters like Skoll? That’s how they were born?”

“It’s a little different. They were made from titans, though.”

Solana cuts off her words and moves up.

Carved into the wall was a titan. The bones were pulled out of its limbs, and those bones transformed into monsters —I think that was the scene that’s being depicted.

“Skoll is a monster created by the primordial titan Ymir.”

It is the name of the world’s first born titan.

“They are said to have been created from Ymir’s own bones. That’s why their titles has the word ‘bone’ in it. A monster leader from the mythological era —I guess that’s how you would describe them.”

The dungeon went back to silence.

Looking up at the mural, the ribs of the giant Ymir turned into several wolves. The bones of both arms turned into large snakes. But since it’s a mural, I can’t really see the size or details.

Then I recalled the sound of a newborn’s cry echoing in the darkness that I heard in my dream that scared me to the core.

“……There’s still a lot of monsters like Skoll, isn’t it?”

“Yes, definitely.”

The enemies are targeting  me and Lu. They are definitely lurking somewhere after escaping.

“This guy…… Ymir in the mural is the main boss, right?”

“That’s…… I think we still need to look into it.”

I see.

The gods have only just awakened, and there’s still a lot we don’t know about the world. The Raven Warriors haven’t told me anything yet either. We also came to this dungeon to investigate the unexplored area.

『Rion, Solana』

Loki’s voice sounded.

I turned to face the others. It looks like it’s time to leave. Solana then turned into light and returns to the gold coin.

『……Rion. There is no need to show kindness or go easy on them in the battle.』

As I prepared to leave, I heard Sigris’ voice.

『Skeletons and Draugrs are monsters made of the magic of titans. Their techniques from when they were alive are merely recreated from their weapons and remains.』

Sigris’ tense voice made me feel her feelings. I kind of get it. They were warriors who fought to protect people from monsters, and they are now the source of the undead.

Yes, it’s kind ironic…..

This must have been an important place for Sigris. And she’s thinking about her comrades from back then.

“……Felix-san”

I stopped Felix-san.

“Is it true that the priests of the Temple of Odis come to this dungeon regularly to pray?”

The southern dungeon is unpopular, but the priests of the Temple of Odis come here often. Apparently the reason is to offer prayers to the undead monsters.

“That’s the kind of training we have.”

I decided to speak it out.

It might be a bit meddling, but……….

“If you could…… after we finish the dungeon exploration, could you say a prayer for the skeletons and draugr we’ve fought so far?”

Felix-san narrowed his eyes and looks at me.

“…… It seems that Rion-san can really talk to the gods. Is it a wish from the gods?”

“No. This is my request, uhm, I  know it’s too late, but……”

I gestured my fingers as I spoke, trying to look nonchalant as possible.

“You’re asking me to wake up the dungeon, right?”

Felix-san looked surprised for a moment. Then he immediately laugh right after. He was shaking his shoulders as he laughed, trying not to make as much noise as possible.

“Fufu, is that the reward for the alarm? You’re a real wake-up caller! And your negotiating skills are top-notch too.”

The other raven warriors looked at me as well and nodded.

Felix-san then opens his mouth,

“The Temple of Odis pays tribute to its warriors. No matter what form they take, if our prayers can lead to their restful sleep…… we make time for them.”

There’s nothing we can do about a battle that’s already over. But I thought it was my duty as the person who inherited it to do something.

“Let’s go, Gods.”

I called out to the gold coin. My right pocket got a little hot and light leaked out from it.

Chapter 43: Loki’s Duplicity

Yume Neiji

No matter how many times I check, the result is the same. The ability【Golden Flame】strengthens the detection power of 【Wild Heart】.

I could clearly perceive the sounds and scent around me. The red light, which indicates the presence of a monster, could be seen far beyond the wall.

『Hoh~, Did you finally notice?』

The voice had a hint of laughter in it.

This one really is…. He is the only one I can’t figure out well.

“Loki…… right?”

『Yes. Well, let me teach you about my skills.』

Even though I hadn’t thought about my status, the information just appeared in my head.

Skill 『God of Mischief’s Divine Protection』

【Duplicity】…… It can be used in combination with the two divine protection.

『You’re in a weird situation right now. I’m talking about the matter with the Gods.』

I nodded my head as Loki spoke.

『Even in our time, it was rare for multiple gods to lend their powers to one person. Bonds with the gods aren’t that easy after all.』

Indeed. I blew the horn and they appeared. I accepted their blessings without giving it much thought, but now that I think about it, it feels a little different from when I was with Solana.

The biggest difference is—

“You mean, I actually need to make a vow like when I was with Solana?”

『Normally, yes. Hmm…. she met you before she inherited her magic from the sun goddess, meaning, she’s in a weakened state. So it can’t be compared to when she was awakened by the Gjallarhorn. 』

Loki continues.

『You defeated Skoll. You defeated an enemy of the gods and achieved victory. That’s why you can say you’re a hero and that you have developed a bond with us through the battle. I think Thor, who is also the god of war, especially feels a strong connection with you. 』

Shouting the names of the gods while fighting monsters —such a story is also passed down among adventurers. Now hearing that I am one of those people, I’m a bit perplexed.

『It’s just…… I still feel like you are taking the gods’ blessings a little too smoothly. Rion, maybe you have a constitution that makes it easy for the gods to reside in you.』

“……T-there’s no way that’s true…..”

I subconsciously waved my hand in denial.

Seeing me doing that out of a blue, the group of Raven Warriors looked at me strangely.

『How did you know? Is there no one like that in your family?』

As I tried to deny it, Lu’s face crossed my mind. Lu can see Solana from the very beginning.

No, right? But……

『Fufu, it’s okay.』

Then I heard him clap his hands.

『Alright! The ability I bestowed on you, 【Duplicity】, is a set ability. It can combine the power of the gods like that, making it a great deal. For example….』

Loki continued.

I can envision Loki explaining with his fingers raised and his body flickering.

『The 【Golden Flame】 from Solana and the 【Wild Heart】 from Uru. They both strengthens the body, so there’s a synergistic effect.』

Synergy —I’ve heard of it. But because it’s a magical term, I don’t really get it well.

“You mean those two were compatible?”

『Mm, that’s right. The range of detection of 【Wild Heart 】 is expanding, right?』

When I looked around, I could still see a red light in the distance. The farthest one is super small. I know that it’s not because the monster is weak, it’s just that it’s in a remote place.

『It was said that a good magician can cast multiple spells at the same time. This is the skill version of that. Unfortunately, your magical aptitude seems to be quite low.』

“Really……?”

Ugh…….  I just felt a sharp pain in my chest. Then my vision blurred.

“I-, so I’m not good at magic after all huh.”

『Oops, sorry for that. Well, you have a decent amount of magical power, but maybe you’re a little too naive. You don’t have enough ambition to manipulate reality with magic.』

“……I see”

Well, it seems that a big bell has fallen on my head. I know that I wasn’t as good at it as the nobles, but when a god himself says it, it carries a lot of weight.

『You have enough magic to use Solana’s protection, but you could only use life magic…… That was the case, right?』

“Y-yeah……”

『Anyways —H-hey! Don’t glare at me Solana. We’ll  have to let him realize that anyway.』

Loki cleared his throat.

『I’m a genie, a god of magic. I’ve given you the ability to use a combination of two skills, a technique that uses magical power.』

The 【Golden Flame】 improves physical abilities and the 【Wild Heart】 improves perception. These two abilities can certainly expand the detection range.

『However, even I have never combined the divine protection of another god. So, to be honest, I don’t know what kind of skills would make this combination successful.』

As I listened, I tried to extend the detection range here and there. It seems that covering the floors of the Southern Dungeon is the limit of the current search.

“Then….…”

The safety of this floor has been ensured. Now that things have come to this, I want to try out this ability until Golden Flame goes out.

“What’s the matter, Rion-san? It’s time to leave……”

I smiled at Felix.

“I’ll try to detect the floor below as well.”

“……Huh? From this position?”

“Yes. I think it’s safer to go down the stairs and be far away from the monster swarm.”

Since it can be spread left and right, it could also be spread up and down. Little by little, I poured magical power into the power of the gods.

The light on the same floor gradually faded away, and the vague red shapes of the monsters on the floor below came into view instead. Most were skeletons, but I could also see stronger monsters such as draugr and wraiths..

“As expected, there are a lot of undead types……”

There are so many creepy monsters, which is why it has an ironic name like “Cathedral of Darkness”. It is also unpopular with adventurers, and not many people want to live near the Southern Dungeon.

It’s said that the priests of the Temple of Oudis are the ones who delve into the Southern Dungeon most often. Sometimes they can find medical items and magic books for the hospital, and since there are so many undead here, it’s often used for training.

The gold coin trembled weakly.

『……As a Valkyria, it’s a little hard to look at.』

Sigris, the Medicine God, murmured.

I wanted to ask what she’s talking about, but my head started shaking like when I was anemic.

“E-eh?”

The palms of my hands touched the cold floor.

I just realized that I was slumped on the floor. Felix-san and the others approached me in a hurry.

“W-what’s wrong?”

My head was fuzzy and my body was a little hot.

『Mm, it’s definitely putting a lot of strain on your body. Don’t worry, you were saved, so you’ll be back to normal after a 5 minute rest.』

Uhm, what……!?

“Y-you should have told me that earlier, right?”

『Ahaha, I’m sorry♪ 』

I really can’t let my guard down with this god after all……!

With my state, we decided to take a break just down the stairs.

『Fufu, but you were actually tired, right? Besides, you wouldn’t rest unless something like this happened, right?』

I don’t know if Loki’s words is an excuse or he is being serious. I heard Solana’s angry voice. I’m very grateful for her protests, but now my head is pounding more.

『.….This is fine, right? It’s about time we prepare ourselves to face the monsters. You and us, the gods.』

After saying that, Loki went silent.

Walking, Chapter 116: Going to the Margave’s Mansion together

Yume Neiji

“Okay, that completes the formalities. Thank you for your hard work for the past two weeks.”

“““You’re welcome.”””

After completing the procedures for helping out with the Cherry Blossom Viewing Festival at the Adventurer’s Guild, I really felt that the Cherry Blossom Viewing Festival was truly over.

It’s a fond memory that even though I was in charge of treating the patients and was completing the formalities for the festival, before I knew it, I was doing all the cooking.

Well, the chairman of the executive committee gave me a lot of money, so let’s leave it at that.

“Okay. Let’s inform the innkeeper first and then we’ll head to the mansion.”

““Yes!””

And then, at the warrior-oneesan’s command, we headed to the inn next to the adventurer’s guild. When we informed the innkeeper, he responded that he knew what we were talking about.

“This time in particular, there was a dispute between the executive committee and the church, so your activities have been widely known in the town. I’m sure that the Margrave will prepare a feast to entertain you.”

““Feast!””

“You guys are probably going to be staying at the mansion tonight, so go and have fun.”

The innkeeper sent us off with a smile, and we headed to the Margrave’s mansion.

“I wonder what the feast will be like?”

“Fran is also looking forward to the feast!”

“H-horn too. I’m looking forward to the food.”

Shiro with Ao on her head is holding hands with Fran and Horn in a friendly manner. The content of their conversation is about the feast that will be served at the Margrave’s mansion. 

The other adventurers are also very much looking forward to seeing what kind of food will be served.

“The people in the town seem to be having a lot of fun.”

“The cherry blossom viewing festival has ended safely so they are very happy.”

““I see.””

Sue joins in the conversation between Shiro, Fran and Horn, and they are having a good time.

I looked around as well. Certainly, people walking around the town are smiling.

When we approached the Margrave’s mansion, we saw a group of troops entering the mansion. All of them wore luxurious armor, and the horses also wore horse armor.

“Oh, that’s the Holy Knights. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen them.”

“Does that mean that the Lord is finally going to invade the church?”

“Mm, it’s true that the church today is full of evil.”

The knight unit that entered the Margrave’s mansion were certainly wearing uniform armor, and the adventurer oneesans knew their true identity.

So that’s the Holy Knights huh.

We arrived at the Margrave’s mansion as originally planned.

Maybe that means there’s a strategy meeting for tomorrow?

With that in mind, we also entered the mansion.

Chapter 240: I want to be hugged by an Eastern beauty

Yume Neiji

“I want to be hugged by an Eastern beauty!”

『….What’s with that out of the blue!?』

When I expressed my deepest desires, Lindwurm sighed in exasperation.

East. It is a term used to refer to the eastern side of the continent. It is not easy to travel back and forth between the east and the west where we have been active because it is separated by huge mountain ranges and deserts. Therefore, a unique culture that can only be found in the East has developed.

“Female samurai, female ninja, shrine maidens and geisha! There are many wonderful elements in the East!”

『……Please, have you ever been to the East?』

I’ve only been to the East once in my previous life. 

However, back then, they were hostile towards people from the West, and I was already an old man, so I wasn’t able to flirt with the girls.

“But now it seems that they have more interaction with the West.”

The other day, there were swordsmen from the East participating in the martial arts tournament. There were also few people in the audience who were clearly of the Eastern race.

“I’m thinking of going to the East.”

“Mm, I’m looking forward to it.”

“Understood, Master.”

“……No, I mean, what’s the point of going there?”

I completely skipped the introduction and just told the others my decision. Fana and Lill agreed readily while Anje glared at me with a suspicious look on her face.

“There are unique swordsmanship and martial arts developed in the East, so I thought it would be a great learning experience.”

『What you said earlier is completely different, isn’t it? 』

When I mentioned a plausible reason, Anje seemed to be convinced.

“Come to think of it, I’ve heard that the East have their own martial art called ‘Karate’! I want to try it out!”

Of course, we are travelling via the magic airship, the Seno Grande.

In a straight line, the shortest route would be to cross the great mountain range that divides the east and west in half, but unfortunately, this old airship wasn’t designed to fly at mountain range altitudes.

Moreover, there are many dragons living near the top of the said mountain range. If it’s just one, we can get by with the defense function of this airship, but if we are attacked by a swarm, it will be really tough.

Crossing the Great Mountain Range is difficult even for an airship. So it would be much more difficult for humans to cross over. Well, it is unlikely that anyone would want to travel back and forth between East and West on this route.

The next shortest route is through the desert. It is a desert that stretches in the southern part of the mountain range. Severe temperature differences, numerous vicious monsters unique to the desert, and endless stretches of sand with quicksand.…. that’s what you can expect.

Crossing the mountain range is out of the question, but crossing the desert would take dozens of days. This is also the reason why exchanges between East and West have been restricted.

However, although it is larger than the desert we passed on the way to the Great Sage’s Tower, it is not so dangerous. The oases scattered along the way are relatively safe so we can take a break there.

I decided to choose this desert route this time.

(It’s hot during the day, so swimming in the oasis lake feels really good. I’d love to go swimming with everyone. Guhehehe…)

『Don’t choose a route based on your worldy desires.』

(No, no, it’s not just that.)

Incidentally, there were other routes that will pass through the north of the continent and routes that will pass through the sea further south of the desert.

The northern route is a series of frigid and snowy roads, and if you do it poorly, it is more difficult than the desert route.

The sea route, on the other hand, was the quickest route, as long as you had a sturdy ship. However, the risks were just as great as the desert route, with ships capsizing in storms or being attacked by monsters and wrecked.

Of course, with an airship, either route is not much different from the desert, but it’s simply a longer detour and the distance is longer.

In other words, the desert route is the obvious choice!

“Oh, I can see it.”

“That’s the desert huh.”

Eventually, a vast expanse of sand came into view.

The sun was directly overhead, pouring down intense sunlight that shine through the sand on the ground. Sand absorbs heat easily, and navigating on foot on that sand would be hell.

Of course, the inside of the airship is also air-conditioned, so it is very comfortable for us.

Suddenly, Lill, who was peeking at the ground from the window of the airship, noticed something.

“Master, I can see a group of people on the ground.”

“A crowd of people? For real?”

I also looked below.

I could see a group of people straddling a lizard monster and scurrying through the desert with a cloud of dust.

“They look like bandits….. Hmm? They seem to be chasing something….”

Chapter 109: Finale

Yume Neiji

Thanks to my report, all the kidnappers were arrested.

Claire is still asleep so I brought her to the Auberge in Gandalcia. It was closer than the mansion in Belluca mansion after all. I’m exhausted too.

Char hadn’t finished molting yet, so we both slept soundly in bed.

“Young Master”

I woke up to Mary gently shaking me.

“Good morning, Mary. Is it morning already?”

“The sun is already high up in the sky. I’m sorry to interrupt your sleep, but Claire-sama has woken up.”

I asked her to call me when Claire woke up. There are many things I want to ask after all.

Char is still asleep, so I slipped out of bed and headed for the auberge.

In the Auberge’s restaurant, Claire was sulking while drinking café au lait. Even when I walked in, she just glanced at me and remained silent.

“Good morning, Claire.”

“Morning.”

She’s trying to act as if nothing happened huh.

“I have a lot of questions I want to ask.”

“I don’t want to talk about it.”

I decided to ignore Claire’s words.

“How did you get kidnapped?”

“I…… I snuck out of the mansion and hired a carriage. That’s where I was kidnapped.”

“Why did you leave the mansion?”

“I just wanted to go out and play.”

“I heard Claire had a few days’ worth of clothes in her travel bag.”

Claire put down her coffee cup with a clunk.

“Oh, stop it! I just wanted to stay at Cedie’s place! Are you now satisfied with that!?”

“You want to stay here at the Auberge?”

“I just said so! School is starting soon, and I wanted to stay in Gandalcia before then.”

Is that why she snuck out of the mansion?

“But Rochelle betrayed me….…”

“It’s okay to stay at my place, but you need to get permission from Alexei-oniisan you know.”

“He’s not gonna let me stay here! It’s Cedie’s and father’s fault for fighting!”

Whoa, whoa. She even shifted the blame!

First of all, it isn’t even a sibling fight. It’s just that Alexei-oniisan is too stubborn. But persuading that selfish Earl is going to be a very difficult task.

“Alright, I can understand how you feel. But Alexei-oniisan was very worried about you, Claire. I felt sorry for how distressed he was.”

“That’s….…”

“I was worried too.”

“I’m sorry……”

Claire apologized so sincerely!?

This is the first time I’d heard Claire apologize.

—Uh, Gandalcia Island might sink….

Until last year, it’s unthinkable that she would apologize. Maybe Claire has grown up a little since she is already thirteen.

“What about Father?”

“I already asked Dawsill to go to the mansion and inform him.”

He left on Lulu’s boat early in the morning, so he must have already arrived there. I think it’s about time he comes back.

“What about lunch?”

“I’m just about to start.”

“Then I’ll join you here for lunch. Is that okay?”

“Do as you like, this is Cedie’s Island after all.”

As we are eating a late brunch, Alexei-oniisan came in with loud footsteps. He came alone on his horse.

“Claire! You made me worry!”

Alexei-oniisan’s voice was tinged with anger, but he also seemed relieved. Then he turns to me and gives me an embarrassed look.

“I’m sorry for causing you so much trouble. Thank you.”

I can’t believe Alexei-oniisan would say thank you. Apology and thank you is something that normally cannot be associated to this father and daughter after all.

Is this really the last day of Gandalcia!?

Jokes aside, the maid named Rochelle was also caught. Apparently, she was bought by Shylock.

“I really can’t forgive her. How dare a maid like her betray her master!”

Uhm… I think the master who was betrayed is also at fault.

“If Claire had treated her better, she wouldn’t have been betrayed, wouldn’t she?”

“………”

Claire went silent.

“Enough of that. What’s important now is that she’s back safely.”

Sigh. Alexei-oniisan can’t spoil her like this. I think he should be careful as well. In the first place, it’s Alexei-oniisan’s fault for taking a bribe from Shylock. I’ve never heard of a nobleman who doesn’t take bribes, though. I’m probably the only one in this country.

“Cedie has to be rewarded this time.”

Alexei-oniisan made another surprising statement.

For real?  Is he still my Earl brother who only thinks about his own profits?

“I’m grateful for that but……”

“Well, as a reward for your work this time, I will open the magical railway under your terms.”

Doesn’t that mean he’s going to sign the same contract as with Earl Simpson?

It’s not a reward or anything!

But considering my business with Emma, it’s not a bad deal. From now on, my products can be shipped by wagons. Besides, if Polymer – Lebon – Gandalcia – Belucca is connected by rail tracks, it would be much more convenient for the people of Findas.

Since Alexei-oniisan is willing to accept these conditions, I guess it’s okay.

We then signed a formal contract on the spot.

“Alright, let’s go back to the mansion.”

With a satisfied look on his face, he took Claire and walked outside.

I’ve signed the contract so I decided to see them off.

“Let’s go for a walk.”

Claire suggested, so the three of us walked a little.

What a strange feeling…

I never thought I’d be taking a walk with this father and daughter.

“I’d like to have melon soft-serve ice cream for dessert.”

“Hoh, that sounds delicious.”

“They sell it at the beach house over there. Let’s go.”

They seem to be on good terms, which is quite good.

“Hmm, so this is it huh. I’ll have two melon soft serve ice creams.”

As I watched, I saw that Alexei-oniisan was about to hand Kemoncy a gold coin.

“No, Father. You can’t use gold coin in a place like this. You have to use small change here.”

“Oh, Claire knows a lot.”

“Of course! Ohhohoho!”

But why would they have to pay using a large silver coin?

Spending all that 50,000 crown silver coins would be a huge nuisance.

Well, there seems to be a change for it…….

I saw off the troublesome father and daughter to the bridge on the island.

A few days after the kidnapping, Paul-oniisan came to the cottage.

“Welcome. What are you here for today?”

“Big brother asked me to come.”

Did he come at the request of Alexei-oniisan?

What on earth could it be?

Looking at him, he is holding a big box.

“What’s up with Charlotte?”

“It’s her molting time so she can’t move her body. It’s almost over though.”

“I see.….”

I invited my brother inside.

“Big brother asked me to bring something important today.”

“What is it? It’s the first time I’ve ever received a gift from Alexei-oniisan.”

“It’s not a gift. These are items that originally belongs to Cedie.”

“What do you mean?”

“Inside this box are the items of inheritance that Cedie was supposed to get.”

My inheritance something other than Gandalcia Island?

“Isn’t that supposed to have been taken by Alexei-oniisan?”

“Well, apparently, he accidentally forgot to give them to you.”

Paul-oniisan said and smiled wryly.

I guess I could say that he embezzled the money….

But why would he forget to give this box to me?

It’s been almost a year since Father passed away.

“.…But why is Alexei-oniisan only giving it now?”

“It’s probably because of Claire. He seems to be really grateful. And maybe he is starting to think about things as a parent……”

“As a parent?”

“I don’t know the contents of this hidden inheritance at first either. But when I saw it, I was kind of convinced. Take a look inside the box first.”

When I opened the large box, I saw what looked like a board wrapped in a clean cloth.

“This is….…”

“Be careful, it’s an important painting.”

The inheritance is a painting?

I hope it’s not a forgery like the one that Farh Jarg deals in……

I took out the painting and involuntarily gasped.

—It was a portrait of my mother.

“Countess Mersala Dantes, portrait by Lachor Ghosn, year 217 Moura. That’s what Mersala-dono looked like when she was twenty-five.”

Lachor Ghosn was an outstanding painter who later became a court painter. He was particularly good at religious paintings and portraits.

In the painting, Mother is looking at me with a graceful smile. The contours of the memories that had been fading within me suddenly became clearer. This painting really captures Mother’s features very well.

“It’s amazing, right? It’s said to be the greatest of all Ghosn’s portraits. Apparently, my father kept it to himself and only looked at it secretly when he was alive.”

“Why?”

“This is just my speculation, but maybe he wanted to keep Mersala-dono to himself. Well, it’s because he loved her from the bottom of his heart.”

“But Father made a will to keep this painting for me, didn’t he?”

“It’s not just that painting. Look inside the box. There are still items that were worn by Mersala-dono during her lifetime. They also belong to Cedie.”

Upon closer inspection, I found that they were all memorable items. Accessories such as rings, necklaces, a box for storing makeup, an intricately crafted hand mirror —all of which are associated with memories of my mother.

“But isn’t this terrible? Why would Alexei-oniisan try to embezzle these things in the first place? Sure, they may have great monetary value, but they’re only a tiny fraction of the Dantes family’s fortune!”

I was shaking with anger.

If this were cash or bonds, I wouldn’t be so angry. However, it is a different story when it comes to items that has connection with my mother. For Alexei-oniisan, she is a stranger, but for me, she is my only mother.

Paul-oniisan gently placed his hand on my shoulder.

“I understand Cedie’s anger. Big brother is a really selfish person.”

My brother narrowed his eyes at the portrait of my mother.

“Mersala-dono was a very kind person. Although she was a stepmother, she showered us brothers with equal love. Well, my brother and I were in a rebellious phase that time, and in hindsight, we often behaved aloofly. I feel embarrassed when I think about it now.”

“Is that so?”

“To be honest, I was so jealous of  how spoiled you were.”

Jealousy? Is it because of that?

From what I recall, there were almost no contact between me and my brothers in the mansion.

“Big brother’s jealousy may have been more intense than mine.”

“So that’s why he took my inheritance?”

Paul-oniisan shook his head with an indescribable look on his face.

“That’s not all. This is also just my speculation, but Big Brother…… perhaps Mersala-dono is his first love.”

“No way….…”

“I’m sure he felt the same way as Father. He probably didn’t want to hand over Mersala-dono to anyone. But maybe this recent incident has awakened something in him as a parent. I think that’s why he regretted taking her away from her child. He just didn’t say anything.”

“I understand what you’re talking about. …..Phew, I can’t get my thoughts together. I’ll make some black tea. You want some too right?”

“Yes. Add milk and sugar please.”

When I looked to the side, I saw the painting of my mother on the table smiling at us brothers.

Chapter 108: Lead by the star

Yume Neiji

 I searched every nook and cranny of Gandalcia, but Claire was nowhere to be found.

Could it be that Claire was really kidnapped?

Knowing her, it’s possible that she staged it all, but I don’t think she’d be that foolish..… Just where on earth could she be kidnapped though.

“Upa, I’m thinking of going to Belucca now. Will you come with me?”

“Okay. I’ll follow you anywhere.”

 Just as we are about to leave, Silver came in front of us.  Redas-san is with him.

“Brrrr”

 Silver bowed his head and seemed to be telling us to get on.

“Are you sure?”

 Redas-san explains with a smile.

“Silver knows that Cedie is in trouble. He even begged me to put a saddle on him.”

As expected of Silver. There’s no horse more reliable than him when it comes to emergencies.

“You’re going to help me look for Claire huh.”

“Heen!”

We then set off for Belucca.  We travelled along the road, asking people who passed by if they had seen Claire.

“Have you seen a blonde girl about thirteen years old? She is probably with a tall maid.”

“Hmm, I didn’t see anyone like that.”

He must be a farmer who lives in the neighborhood. The man hurried back to the village.

The sun has already set and it is getting dark. There were no more people walking along the road either.

“Are you tired, Cedie?”

“Not at all. But it’s getting dark already.”

There are many stars shining in the sky. This is a world where there are almost no street lights, so the brilliance of the stars is so vivid that it was unthinkable in my previous life in Japan.

“Shall we go back to Gandalcia first?”

“No. I think I’ll head to the mansion in Belucca after all. I don’t know if it will be of any use though.”

Just when I said that, a strange thing happened.

A ray of green light stretched out toward the Cygnus star shining in the night sky.

“That’s it!”

“What is it? Some kind of light magic?”

“Not really, but I’m sure Claire is under that light.”

“I see. Alright, let’s go!”

Before I could pull the reins, Silver took off.

The side road was narrow and the branches and leaves of the trees overlapped, making it difficult to find. The star guide seems to be operating further down this road.

 Upa and I get down from Silver and moved ahead with soft footsteps.

“We’re almost there. From here on, I’m going to go alone.”

“No, I’ll go too.”

“That’s no good. Cedie, you wait here. I’ll find out what’s going on over there first.”

As we argued, the light that was pointing at the Cygnus Star began to shake slightly. For some reason, it keeps flickering on and off.

“What does that mean?”

“I think she’s moving violently while wearing the star guide. Oh no! Maybe something happened to Claire!”

They’re not being violent right!?

Looks like there’s no time to sneak around and check what’s going on.

“Damn it, let’s go!”

 As we ran down the path, I saw a small cottage at a dead end.

“W-who is it? A horse?”

“Guwaa!”

Without hesitation, Silver knocked down the two men who looked like guards.

“No, Silver, stop. We haven’t determined if they are really the kidnapper.”

“Heen…… (They have villainous looks, so……)”

“No, it looks like you guessed it right, Silver.”

When I opened the door, I saw a thin elderly man trying to snatch the ring from Claire.

“Give it to me!”

“Let go, you old fool! You can take anything you want, but I will never give you this ring!”

Isn’t that Avon Shylock, who was expelled from Belucca?

“Shylock, you were the kidnapper!?”

“Huh!? Baron Dantes!”

In addition to Shylock, there were five other men in the room. They are all holding weapons in their hands. They must have already heard the commotion outside so they are ready to fight.

One of them quickly pointed the tip of his sword at Claire’s throat.

Seeing the stand still, Shylock seemed to have decided that he had the upper hand. He gradually regained his composure and his insolent attitude returned.

“If it isn’t the Baron. Welcome to this hovel.”

“Cedie, you’re here! Get lost, you scoundrels!”

“Shut up you stupid girl!”

Shylock pulled out a dagger and placed it to Claire’s neck.

Claire went silent.

“You kidnapped Claire to get back at Alexei-oniisan, right? But this is the end of it. Release Claire. If you release her here, I won’t go after you.”

Alexei-oniisan would be a different matter, though.

“Fuhahaha, what a silly thing to say. Baron, you see, all I need to do is shut your mouth.”

Hearing Shylock’s words, Upa stepped forward to protect me.

“Oh, and don’t forget that I got a hostage here. I’ll ask you to lay down your weapon, big man.”

Shylock pressed his dagger on Claire.

“Throw away your sword Upa.”

“But ….…”

“It’s okay. Throw away your sword and plug your ears with your fingers.”

“……Got it.”

He must have guessed my plan.

Upa did as he was told, He tossed his sword and plugged his ears with his fingers. Even Silver sat down on the spot, holding his ears with his front hooves. His posture was so cute that I almost burst out laughing. Thankfully I managed to hold back my laughter.

I quickly played the deep-sea flute.

Doremi Doremi Somiredoremire ♪

As soon as the melody of “Tulip” rang out, everyone in the room fell asleep immediately.

Upa, Silver, Claire, Shylock and his thugs all fell asleep. The overweight kidnapper seems to have sleep apnea. He is snoring so loudly and his breathing repeatedly stops and starts. He’s at high risk of heart failure, so I hope he tries to lead a regular life while incarcerated.

I first retrieved the kidnappers’ weapons. Then I shook Upa to wake him up. He had his fingers plugged in his ears so he should wake up earlier than everyone else.

“Guhehehehe……”

 I thought I heard a strange laughter, but I realized that it was Claire who was laughing.

 What a way to laugh…….

“Gehe~, Cedie really. You praise me so much, but I’m not giving you anything. Oh well~, I guess I’ll kiss you on the cheek then. Gehehe…”

How carefree….

As I watched Claire who sprawled on the floor, I continued to shake Upa’s body.

Chapter 239: I don’t regret it

Yume Neiji

“O-o-oouch! Hey! ….Sure, it’s my fault that I wasn’t wearing clothes, but you didn’t have to hit me you know.”

“Oh…… I’m sorry. Tsui! I don’t regret it!”

“You didn’t!?”

Meltera woke up and punched me. 

If I was a dying old man, I would have died for sure.

『That’s what actually killed you in the previous life. Master, you are a pervert who never learns. 』

“I was so busy fighting the Demon King that I completely forgot about my clothes. I’ve been naked quite a few times recently too. I’m just a baby after all.”

Time was up. I returned to my original baby form.

“Now what? What should we do, Great Sage?”

“We’ve gotten rid of the Deophrastus, who was the culprit and the ruler behind this city. All that’s left to do is collect the taboo items.”

“You say it so simply, but the tower is full of enemies you know. It’s going to be quite a challenge, isn’t it?”

At that moment, the five old men came back fearfully. 

It’s now quiet here, so they probably thought that the battle was over.

“T-the Great Sage is nowhere to be seen……?”

“Don’t tell me…. those two babies defeated him!?”

“That’s impossible! He is as powerful as a god, right?”

Ignoring the panicked group, I asked Meltera.

“What are we going to do with these old men? If this continues, they will become the rulers of this city then.”

“They look corrupt too. I don’t think they should be left alone.”

“Then it becomes a question of who is going to govern this city…… Oh, right!”

I proposed to Meltera.

“You should rule this city instead!”

“Ah?”

★★★

After that, the magical city of Enderzen fell into chaos. This was only natural, as the Five Elders, who officially reigned at the top, had been captured by a mysterious group.

“Hmm, they’re attacking again.”

“I’ll fight back as many times as it takes!”

“Leave half to me.”

Fana and Anje joined us, and we are now standing on the top of the tower. The Magic Knights have carried out rescue operations for the elders several times, but they have been repelled each time.

“But how long are we going to keep it like this?”

“It’s okay, it’s already over. Look.”

In order to completely reverse this situation, I had done something to the Five Wise Men.

“Long live the Great Sage Meltera-sama!”

“““Long live the Great Sage Meltera-sama, long live~~!”””

“Great Sage Meltera-sama…… munyamunya.”

Yes, they had been brainwashed.

—And one of them has been sleeping the whole time.

“Hey, what do you mean!?”

“Well, you see, Meltera, you are more suitable for a great sage than Deophrastus. You are still a baby now, but when you grow up, you will become more dignified. You’re a high elf after all.”

“That’s not the problem!”

Meltera is screaming in protest, but there is no one more qualified than her. Fortunately, no one other than the Five Wise Men had seen Deophrastus, so no one would know if the higher up had changed.

“If we are talking about a great sage, then you are the most suitable person for the job.”

“No, I’m fine. I’ve had enough of it in my previous life. I’ve been reborn, so I’m going to travel the world as an adventurer in this life.”

By brainwashing the Five Wise Men, the reform of the city proceeded in the blink of an eye. Experiments and research of the taboo items have been cancelled, and all magic tools and items created have been collected.

In addition, the underground living quarters were closed, and the monsters returned to their original human form by removing the black magic stones imbedded in them. The children who had been trained as pilots of the magic giants were also released safely.

There are still many problems, but I am sure that Meltera will be able to reincarnate this magical city.

“Alright, good luck~”

“Sigh…… It can’t be helped then…… Now that I’ve fulfilled my purpose on why I used rejuvenation magic, I don’t have anything else to do, so be it……”

We said goodbye to Meltera, who exhaled resignedly, and left the magic city.
