Chapter 35: Pauline, Commander of the Raven Warriors

Yume Neiji

Moving in slow motion.

That was the perfect description of the figure that appeared in the distance.

He’s like a ghost. Illuminated by the moonlight and the adventurer’s torch, the swaying body occasionally stretches out large shadows.

I had a very ominous premonition.

“G-Gideon……?”

Even from a distance, I realized who it was. Thanks to my skills, I can see more at night than usual.

Solana whispered.

『Something’s off about him. 』

I nodded in agreement.

It is clear that he was seriously injured. He is walking while protecting his leg, and his left arm is hanging down limply. I could even smell blood in the night air.

Then Gideon stopped about 10 meters before us.

Stained with blood and mud, his blonde hair and noble attire were unrecognizable. But his eyes were arched like crescent moons.

“Haha, hahaha! The city looks a lot neater now!”

With a hollow laugh, Gideon pulled out something from his bossom.

 ……A small pouch?

“As expected, it’s marvelous. This ash is really amazing! I even awakened the dungeon……!”

Gideon looked up at the pouch he was holding and his body shook, as if squirming in excitement.

His behavior is really bizarre.

The atmosphere was so gripping that neither Mia-san nor I could move.

『Rion…… Be careful. I can sense a nasty magical power from Gideon.』

Solana told me so.

When I looked closely, I saw black smoke rising from the pouch.

『That pouch must be the same one that fell in the Eastern Dungeon. I can feel the same presence from it. 』

“……T-then, is that Gideon?”

A chuckle echoed in the back of my ears.

『Those ashes—it looks like it was imbued with magical power.』

A god informed me.

When I touch the right pocket of my jacket, I feel the hard feel of the gold coin. The voice came from there.

“A-ashes….?”

『They’re the ashes of a titan. Let me, Lord Loki tell you.』

The words are spoken as if he was singing. Loki is one of the gods who woke up from the seal and saved me. As expected, he too resides in the same gold coin as Solana.

『In ancient times, titans, like monsters, were enemies of the gods. Some were extremely powerful giants who could control fire. But just as they were about to unleash their hatred to the gods and burn the world to the ground, the sealing age happened. 』

Loki continued.

『It was an incomplete combustion, so to speak. The titans have turned to ashes and are still smoldering away —or at least that’s how it seems to me.』

I suddenly felt light headed. I wonder if I’m feeling dizzy because I’m tired, or because the story is so big.

Mia-san supported my shoulders.

“…… Is it Rion who is there? Kukuku, you can’t lay your hands on a noble you know.”

Gideon stopped talking and looked at us.

Me, Mia-san and the other adventurers who defended the city. Even when everyone glared at him, Gideon didn’t lose his attitude of scoffing at the cityscape. The Raven Warriors, who were supposed to manage the dungeons, moved to surround Gideon.

『Flame against the sealed ice. Since the monsters has been resurrected —no need to guess, that pouch has everything to do with it.』

Gideon came in the direction of the castle gate —in the direction of the dungeon. And he indeed said, “I awakened the dungeon.”

“Gideon…… y-you released the monsters?”

My heart froze from that realization.

Gideon laughed manically.

“What if I did it?”

My body grew hot. Really, really, unbearably hot.

My hand that was reaching out for my short sword clenched tightly.

“Gideon!!”

I took a step forward and thunder rumbled.

Gideon’s face turned pale and he slumped down the ground.

“Y-you…… Are you really Rion?”

If he could look so frightened, why doesn’t he understand that other people are scared of monsters too?  

Gideon’s mouth trembled.

“W-who’s that behind you……?”

A big hand taps me on the shoulder. When I turned around, I saw a fiery red hair.

『Don’t slash at low lives.』

From his massive body that seemed to be two meters tall, the god spoke to me.

『No matter how renowned a sword is, it is useless if it is stained with the blood of a lowly person.』

……Thor, the God of Thunder?

The God of Thunder appeared only for a moment and he immediately disappeared into the void.

Did he go back to gold coin?

Gideon was so shocked and a warrior has taken a step forward to him.

――There are really kind guys, but there are also really bad guys.

What Mia said to me after the duel was ingrained in me.

If I had been much stronger than Gideon in that place, I wonder if something would have changed.

“Idiot……! What an idiot……!”

Suddenly, there was the sound of wheels and the neighing of horses.

A magnificent four-wheeled carriage appeared and stopped to our left. A group of raven warriors quickly approached the carriage and opened the door. It was a little strange that they seemed to bow to the person inside.

“Gideon of House Warburg.”

As she says that, the woman comes down the carriage.

She was dressed in white. She is wearing a high hat with a staff that is as tall as her height. Because she is going down the steps, her eyes were looking down. But somehow I could tell that she has a very beautiful face.

When she looked up, her green eyes met ours.

“This is the end of your misdeeds.”

Dominance.

Her voice is high, and she may be about 15 or 16 years old. There is a solemnity like the dignity of a temple all over her. With just a few words, she had all the adventurers on their feet.

The woman’s silver hair flutters in the wind.

“Y-you…… No way.”

Unable to get up, Gideon moves his legs and butt and slides back.

The woman walks with her staff hitting on the ground. For a moment, I think she glanced sideways at me and Mia-san.

“……Eh?”

I had a strange feeling.

This person…. it looks like I’ve seen her somewhere.

“There is no nobleman to protect you. With your mismanagement of the Eastern Dungeon, you have lost your source of power.”

The woman said something to the Raven Warriors who were nearby. One of them approached Gideon and snatched the pouch from his hand.

It’s clear that the woman is a comrade of the group of warriors.

“She’s a big shot.”

“……yeah.”

Shaking the chain on her right arm, Mia-san whispered to me.

“Should we should run away?”

“Eh? …… What?”

“I’m just kidding. But it’s kind of suspicious, isn’t it?”

Mia-san, please stop……

Just as she said “Should we run away?”, a group of Raven Warriors approached us.

Then the woman who got the pouch frowns.

“……Ashes. So that’s how they came about.”

“It’s mine!”

Unable to stand up, Gideon puts his hand on his sword.

The woman stretched out her arms towards Gideon. Cold light gathers at the end of her white gloves.

“Skill Seal”

An icy, white, freezing wind swept through the area.

Gideon shudders.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!”

He forcibly pulled out his sword but it slipped out of his hands and fell to the ground.

Clang.

A dry sound echoed out. From the way I saw it, it’s like the sword has escaped from its own accord.

“M-my swordsman skill……?”

“I sealed it.”

The woman hit her staff on the ground.

“If you don’t miss training, your body will remember even if you run out of skills. But it looks like you relied on your skills for everything.”

Gideon turned pale and his head hung low.

“Telling everything you know will at least be a way to make amends.”

The Raven Warriors helped Gideon stand and took him away. As Mia-san and I watched them leave, the woman turned towards us.

“Now then.”

Her face was softened.

“I’m sure I surprised you.”

She placed her hand covered in pure white gloves on her chest and bowed slowly. Her tall hat shook and she quickly adjusted it.

“I haven’t even formally thanked you yet, my name is Pauline.”

The feeling from earlier came again. I really feel like I had met her somewhere before.

“It thanks to you that I was saved in the Eastern Dungeon.”

I looked at Mia-san.

White clothes, pure white gloves, and this voice.

“I-it’s you!”

Mia-san’s mouth opened wide.

“Pa-Parine-san……?”

The rookie adventurer who was running for her life in the Eastern Dungeon. Mia-san was her guide, but it became dangerous, so I helped…….

“Correct.”

Parine—no, Pauline-san nodded.

“I apologize for the delay in thanking you, but please let me introduce myself once again.”

Pauline smiled at us with her jade green eyes twinkling.

“My name is Pauline, the ninth princess of the Kingdom of Asgard and the 63rd Patriarch of the Raven Warriors of the Temple of Odis.”

Chapter 34: New Power

Yume Neiji

Looking up at the night sky, countless stars were twinkling brightly. Because of the fierce battle, I still can’t stand up properly.

Feeling the coldness of the cobblestones, I listen to the voice of God.

Adventurers, use the skills you have been given to defeat the monsters.
To prevent the repeat of the apocalypse.

It was the general message from God that has probably been conveyed to many adventurers.

It seemed to have been repeated at least three times.

“Apocalypse……?”

What could that be?

The night is still deep. However, the surroundings are bright because the remnants of magical power are glittering. They are all from the mighty demon Skoll and Solana, the Sun Goddess, who has regained her powers. In their battle, magical powers collided and scattered, leaving a glow around us.

“Rion”

Someone tapped my shoulders.

It’s only now that I realized that I had been slumped on the ground this whole time.

“Mia-san……”

Mia held out her hand while brushing her red hair and the chain around her right arm dangled as she moved.

“Can you stand?”

Now my sense of reality has returned.

I took a deep breath and stood up. As my field of vision grew clearer, I was confronted once again with what had become of the city.

“It’s terrible……”

It was a mess.

The densely packed buildings were burned and crumbling, and parts of the cityscape were chipped away in places as if they had been scraped off by a giant claw. In some places, I can even see through the city walls.

One after another, the wounded were brought in. Looks like the people of the city were also injured.

“I… I have to help!”

After saying that, a voice echoes in my head.

『In that case, please use Sigris.』

Following the voice, I used that skill.

Skill 『Divine Protection of the God of Medicine 』 has been used.
【Valkyria’s Spoon】…… Recovery. Consumes magical power to expand range.　

Light shot out from my pocket, and a woman in armor appeared in the air. She is holding a large spoon. With a sweeping swipe, like a horizontal slash of a spear, white light was scattered everywhere.

The gentle glow envelops every wounded person.

“I……It doesn’t hurt anymore?”

One of the injured said, and a similar voice echoed from one person to the next.

The adventurers looked at each other.

“Huh? What’s going on?”

“……I think I’m healed?”

The strange happenings continued.

From the moment I stood up, I had had a strange sensation. I feel like I’ve ‘spread out’. I can now capture the sounds and presence that could not be felt until now. I can hear and see it clearly. I guess in adventurer terms that would be called my range.

As I moved my gaze, along with the smell of burning, I could sense someone’s presence. Someone is crying.

“……Over there.”

With my left hand, I pointed to the distant burnt ruins.

“There’s a girl still trapped there. Please find her quickly.”

The adventurers looked confused. But they quickly urged each other and headed over to where the girl is.

“S-someone is really there……?!”

The rescued girl was about seven years old. Her family was also around her. Her mother and father were both holding her, shielding her from falling debris.

Mia-san raised her eyebrows.

“How did you know?”

“I…… I heard her crying.”

It’s really weird.

Mia-san couldn’t hear it either, then why could I hear it?

It’s like if I wanted to, I can probably figure out the location of everyone around me. My senses are so sharp, it’s as if my whole body had ears. I think this should be the abilities of  the『Thief』skill and the even higher level 『Ranger』skill.

I wonder if this is what the wild senses that such veterans have.

“Perhaps…….”

It’s hard not to check it out. I think 『Alarm』 skill has done something ridiculous again.

“S-status!”

Rion (14 years old, Male)
Level: 18
Skill『Alarm』
➥ 【Wake Up】⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅Wakes up a sleeping person refreshed.
➥ 【Unseal】 ⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅Cancel any type of sleep.
[+] Appraisal ⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅Seals can be identified.

Skill『Sun’s Divine Protection』
➥ 【White Flame】⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅Recovery. The blessing of the sun also exorcises curses.
➥ 【Golden Flame】⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅Improves physical ability. Further effect for a limited time.
➥ 【Sword of the Daughter of the Sun】…… Imbues the Daughter of the Sun in a weapon.

Skill 『God of Thunder’s Divine Protection』
➥ 【Hammer of the God of Thunder】⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅Shoots a powerful lightning attack.

Skill 『Divine Protection of the God of Hunting 』
➥ 【Wild Heart】⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅Detection. With magical power consumption, effects can be further increased.

Skill 『Divine Protection of the God of Medicine』
➥ 【Valkyria’s Spoon】…… Recovery. Consumes magical power to expand the range.

Skill 『God of Mischief’s Divine Protection』
➥ 【Duplicity】…… It can be used in combination with the two divine protection.

It’s not a dream after all.

From Level 11, I went up to Level 18 at once. Just so you  know, it’s a level that gradually becomes more difficult to climb after the beginner escape, but amazingly, I’ve ranked up 7 levels at once!

And speaking of skills, I have four new ones. Normally, a person only gets one from the main god, Odis-sama, in a lifetime.

Skills are likened to trees, and as they grow, they bear fruit called “abilities”. I guess the sensation and the treatment I just did are the effects of the new skills I got.

If I could receive five times the usual amount of fruits then..…

“……”

I coudln’t help but gulp.

Unconventional.

Such word came to my mind. Like the stars in this night sky, the possibilities are endless.

“Truly, other gods has awakened huh.”

I took out the gold coin again. On the opposite side of the side where Solana was carved were four new gods. The round surface was divided into four parts, and three male gods and one female goddess were carved into it.

It look a little cramped though.

As I stared at the coin like that, I heard Solana’s voice.

『 In addition to the Eastern Dungeon, the dungeons of the Royal Capital were also sealed with gods, and the continuation of the myth began with Alarm.』

……Continuation of the myth?

『The battle between the gods and monsters is not over, it has only been frozen and interrupted. 』

In the depths of the Eastern Dungeon were the monsters that had been sealed in ice. According to myth, Gods defeated the monsters and gave the dungeon and this country to us.

But it wasn’t. The Gods were not winning, they were even on the verge of defeat. That’s why countless monsters were still trapped and sealed in ice. Even Skoll, who we’d just defeated, was a monster that had maintained its power in this way.

“Then what is the apocalypse……?”

『It’s the continuation of the battle.』

In the overall message, God mentioned the apocalpyse.

Apocalypse huh….

The girl that was rescued earlier is still crying while being hugged by her family. My heart aches when I think of my own sister, Lu.

“The Great Age of Sealing, where gods and monsters were once sealed, and the last days, also known as Ragnarok that was brought about —Perhaps the same thing is approaching.…..”

I wanted to ask her a follow up question right away but a shadow swaying from the castle gate is walking towards me so I stopped talking.

I recognized that tattered noble attire.

Island Maker: Tensei Shitara Slow Life Game deshita. Nonbiri shima o sodatemasu

Chapter 89: Magic Bamboo

Yume Neiji

After returning to Gandalcia Island from the Capital, I went on a cave exploration with Nowald-sensei and Char for the first time in a while.

Char is excited because I made a lot of bento for her.

“Today’s main dish is chicken teriyaki!”

The chicken teriyaki made with soy sauce fruit is delicious and it has a nostalgic taste from my past life.

Char is also particularly fond of it.

“Father, is it time for lunch?”

“We’ve just entered the cave you know.”

It’s good that it’s her favorite, but I’m having a bit of trouble because every 300 meters she asks me if it’s time for lunch.

Well, I guess I can say it’s kind of cute.

As we advanced to the depths of the cave, we were able to collect a lot of rare ores and strawberry stones. It’s a decent amount for sale and alchemy material.

“I’m a little tired. Shall we have lunch?”

When Nowald-sensei said that, Char jumped up and down as if she had been waiting for sensei to say that.

“Okay then. Let’s go to that grove!”

There is a small hole in the ceiling of the cave through which a small amount of light shines through. Plants seem to grow thanks to that light.

When we got closer, I found out that it was a bamboo forest.

“Hmm, this is magic bamboo.”

Nowald-sensei, who was investigating the shape of the bamboo, affirmed.

Wait. I think the name Magic Bamboo sounds familiar….

“It’s a mysterious plant that can store things when processed, isn’t it?”

“Yes. I’m impressed. Looks like you are studying well.”

Nowald-sensei smiled brightly at me.

I’m starting to remember more and more.

In Island Maker, I have used it to make wands. Speaking of magic wands, many people may think of offensive magic, but the one I’m talking about is not that dangerous. The wand made from this bamboo allows the user to put clothes in it and change clothes in an instant.

As for the storage capacity, you could put a few different types of clothes in it. Well, other materials are needed as well but they’re all easy to collect.

Since it’s an item that allows the user to change clothes in an instant, everyone might be happy with it.

“I’ll try to make something good using this as a material.”

“Understand. Char will cut down everything and go home! But……”

“What’s wrong?”

“Before that, I want to eat teriyaki!”

Uh-, that’s right.

After happily eating lunch, we took home a large amount of magic bamboo.

We said goodbye to Nowald-sensei as we exit the cave, and Char and I headed for the beach.

The wand is made by combining shells, so I decided to head there first before going home.

There were all kinds of shells on the beach, but only the relatively large ones were usable.

“Okay, let’s collect as many shells as we can and put them in this bucket. However, there’s a condition for the shells we collect. We only need shells that are bigger than the palm of my han.”

To make a wand, I have to use a large shell.

“Got it! Let’s collect a lot.”

Char and I spent the entire afternoon collecting two buckets worth of shells.

This should be enough material. All I have to do is process it.

When we get back home, Char and I started working on the wand.

“First of all, let’s cut the magic bamboo into pieces like this.”

“Like this huh. I understand!”

I use a saw, and Char cuts the magic bamboo into pieces about 20 centimeters long with her bare hands.

“We’ve made a total of 124 pieces huh.”

“What’s next?”

“Char, you’ll attach shells to the ends of the sticks with glue. I’ll write the magic formula on them with magic ink.”

The procedure is simple because it is only one line. We worked hard, and before dinner we had made 120 wands.

“Alright, let me try it. First, put my pajama and swimsuit on the wand. And then.…”

Once ready, I waved the wand, focusing my mind in my pajamas.

The experiment was a success.

In an instant, I was in my pajamas.

“Ooh! Are you going to bed now, father?”

“No. I’m just trying the wand.”

Next, I changed into a bathing suit, which was also a success.

“Ooh! Are you going to play in the sea now?”

Char’s eyes are sparkling.

“No, that’s not it. I’m doing an experiment on the wand we made.”

“Ah, I see.”

This is more convenient than I thought.

Wand is a consumable item, so you can’t use it forever. Even so, it should be able to withstand about 50~70 uses. What’s more, this wand has another tremendous power hidden in it.

—The cleaning function!

When you put your clothes in this wand and when you take them out, the dirt is removed. Even the wrinkles will disappear as if you had ironed them.

It’s so convenient since you don’t have to do laundry!

“Father, why don’t you give it to Mio and the others?”

Mio-san is an employee of the Magic Railway. That also means that she needs to change into her uniform every day. This thing will surely come in handy.

It’s not just Mio-san, it’s a necessity for Lynn and Upa too. Appearance is important for chefs and managers, after all.

“Char is a genius.”

“Ehehe”

We walked around handing out the finished wands to the islanders.

Chapter 88: Race 2

Yume Neiji

It rained just before the race started. It was a heavy downpour, like a tropical squall. I was hoping that the race would be canceled, but it didn’t happen. The rain stopped after about 30 minutes.

The race will still commence.

“Hey, I heard Cedie’s horse is going to race as well?”

It was Masciolini-san who approached me. He is wearing a sleek blue tie today.

“Mm. It ended this way.”

“Hmm, let me see.…”

Masciolini-san pulled out a betting chart from his pocket.

“The most popular is Alexandria. Well, that’s to be expected. Cedie’s Silver Season is the 10th place.”

“I don’t have any track record at all. That’s natural.”

“But this get’s my gambler’s blood boiling. Hmm, why don’t I bet a hundred thousand crown coins on Cedie’s horse?”

“Are you serious?”

“Yes. I’ve seen a lot of miracles on Gandalcia after all.”

Masciolini-san winked lightly at me and went to buy a betting ticket. I don’t want my friend to lose money, but I didn’t know how the bet would turn out.

I waited for the start with a prayerful feeling.

A fanfare rang out on the racetrack, signaling the start of the main race of the day. The cloudy sky cleared up before I knew it, and the sun is shining brightly on the wet racetrack.

Oh, Char and Silver have already entered the gate. Both of them have a relaxed expression. Then all the other horses entered the gate.

Bang!

The race started.

Eh……

Silver is already in last place as soon as they turned on the first corner!

He looks confident, maybe their strategy is to catch up in the second half? Oh well, I guess asking him to race well did not work….

In comparison, Alexandria, the most popular horse, is doing amazing. Alexandria is running with unrivaled power. Moreover, it looks like she still got a lot of power left.

Even so, all the horses seem to have a hard time running. This is probably because the racetrack is muddy from the rain just now. The inside seems to be particularly muddy, and all the horses are running on the outside of the racetrack.

Oh! Silver and Char are charging into the mud!

What’s more, their speed is not slowing down, they’re actually picking up the pace.

Eh?

They should have been at the back of the line, but now they are already in the middle of the field!

Before I knew it, they warped!

I don’t know how this will turn out until the end.

Masciolini-san, who was watching the race from the side, is now cheering loudly.

“Good, good! Go on Silver Season! Keep that pace!”

Silver moved up the ranks as he rounded the second and third corners, and he is now in second place. Only about three horse lengths behind Alexandria, who is in the lead.

And then the race came to a final straight.

“Beat her Silver! Fasteeeeerrrrr!”

Silver’s expression, which had been nonchalant about the race up until now, suddenly became serious.

Was it because he could hear Masciolini’-sans voice?

“Silver, let’s go!”

Despite the buzz of the crowd, Char’s dragon voice echoes, and new power surged in Silver’s limbs.

Wooosh!

Silver accelerated so much that we could almost hear the sound effect. And in the end, he crossed the finish line five horses lengths ahead from Alexandria.

“Wooooooh, Silveeeerr!”

Next to me, Masciolini-san, who has a chubby physique, is waving a handkerchief and cheering loudly.

“Congratulations, Baron Dantes. Congratulations!”

“Thank you very  much. I didn’t think I would win.”

“Haha. This is the most interesting race I’ve seen in recent years. What a great horse. Look at that imposing figure.”

Silver didn’t seem tired and he is friendly to the crowd cheering him on. When I went down to the racetrack to pick up Silver, he licked my face, which was unusual for him.

He seems to be asking, “Did you see that? Did you see how I raced?”

“That was amazing. You’re amazing Silver.”

“Fufun!”

“Thanks too Char.”

“That was fun. Char want to race again!”

“Heheen! (Boring!)”

Char and Silver were in a good mood the whole time.

By the way, Alexei-oniisan gave me the fiefdom.

I made a contract, so he can’t complain. He signed with a sullen face.

　✲✲✲

Alexei, who returned to the territory from the capital, was quite sullen. His horse had lost, and albeit a small area, he had lost a part his estate.

It’s only natural that he is frustrated. The servants were all trembling and nervous, afraid of upsetting the Earl more.

However, there is one person who didn’t care, —Claire.

She talked to him directly.

“Father, I would like to go to Cedie’s Island for an overnight stay. Is that okay?”

Hearing Claire’s words, Earl Dantes’s temples twitched.

“At Cedie’s? No! A young girl should not go to a man’s place to play!!”

“Cedie is my uncle, isn’t he?”

“I won’t permit it, so no!”

The Earl angrily retreated to his study.

Claire was taken aback by his anger, but she was not the type to back down just because she was told it was no good.

She’s not going to waste all the dresses and swimsuits she had prepared to show to Cedie. In her mind, she already imagined herself and Cedie going to the hot springs hand in hand on the night path illuminated by the street lights.

“That’s right, love burns brighter the more obstacles there are. I won’t give up!”

“Hahaha!”, Claire laughed fearlessly.

Isekai Nonbiri Sanpo Tabi

Walking, Chapter 96: Arrival of reinforcements

Yume Neiji

The latest arrivals to the slave market were the Margrave and his men. The Marquis, fully dressed in armor and fully equipped, walked up to the children’s side.

“Mother and Shun, I am very sorry for this. I didn’t think it was going to be like this.”

“It just so happened that an act of atrocities was committed at that time, which is why we were able to save these children. For now, let’s focus getting this situation under control.”

“Leave the children to me. I’ll leave the mansion to you.”

The Margrave bowed deeply to his mother and me. After stroking some of the children’s heads, the Margrave ran to the previous Margrave.

“Father, I’m sorry I’m late.”

“No, you’ve work hard. Did you make preparations in the mansion to receive these children?”

“Yes. I have prepared a larger cabin and have appointed a steward in charge. I also made sure that they can have hot meal right away.”

“Mm, that’s good. These kids were treated so badly. We must punish the adults who behaved badly on their behalf.”

“That’s right. I’m boiling with anger seeing them like this.”

Just as you’d expect from the Margrave.

To think that he had already made preparations for taking care of the children we just rescued. The previous Margrave hadn’t wavered from his stance for the sake of the children.

“Margrave-sama, we have captured the head of this trading company.”

“Guoh-”

They brought in a fat man. He was  surrounded by several soldiers. The head of this company seemed to be aware that he had done something wrong as he could not look at the Margrave and the previous Margrave. His face is turned away from them.

Ignoring the attitude of the head of the company, the Margrave spoke with a shouting voice.

“Muhou Trading Company, I rejected your application for the establishing your own slave trading company, so what is this!?”

Oi, oi.

So this is the Muhou Trading Company in question!

What’s more, they were operating a slave trade without a license. In this case, the people involved in this company cannot say anything even if they are condemned. As the name of the company suggests, they do whatever they want in a lawless state.

“Buying and selling slaves without a license is a serious crime punishable by death. Furthermore, it’s highly likely that these children were captured illegally.”

“Damn it!”

“Thoroughly interrogate those involved!”

““Yes!””

The people involved were taken away in a horse-drawn carriage one after another.

The interrogation in this world is not like in a previous life. It will include torture for sure.

The soldiers were also quite indignant about what had happened, so they took away the people involved with great enthusiasm.

Walking, Chapter 95: Rushing to the suspicious trading company

Yume Neiji

Just because the man collapsed doesn’t mean that the anger of the former Margrave subsided. Rather, the flames of his anger seem to have flared up more.

“The law of the country strictly prohibits the abuse of slaves! Especially the abuse to small children! It is strictly forbidden, regardless of whether they are slaves or not, you should know that! On top of that, you even made a fool of me!”

“Hi-hiii!”

The man’s face turned pale and he stated retreating, but it was too late. The anger of the former Margrave exploded.

“He’s been caught committing crimes red-handed! Catch him, gather the troops and investigate this company right now!”

“““Yes!””

The gates of the slave market were closed with the guards carefully protecting it.

By the way, the man who received the angry shout of the previous Margrave fainted with bubbles foaming on his mouth.

Soon after, other soldiers arrived and dozens of them entered the building. The other soldiers then began questioning those who remained on the road.

“Wow! Grandpa is amazing!”

Shiro and Ao were delighted with the speed of the former Margrave’s work, but the little girl was stunned by the sudden turn of events.

Sue and I rushed to Shiro’s side.

The little girl has long blonde hair and feathers, and she looks like an angel. There is no doubt that she will be beautiful in the future. But now her face has wounds and stained with dirt and her clothes were in tatters.

I took out a blanket from the item box and covered her with it. Sue then began to treat the girl additionally.

“We’ve made some space over here.”

“Alright, I’m going to carry those who will be rescued here.”

As for me, I brought out several extra blankets. In addition, I put out something like a long chair so that multiple people can sit on it.

The reason why I did this is because the soldiers who rushed inside the company came out with wounded child on their arms. They are rescuing children one after another.

Me, Sue, and Ao also started treating the rescued children one by one.

All those rescued were children, all badly injured.

“Oh my God! I can’t believe such a terrible thing was happening there.”

The wife of the former Margrave is treating the children with her attendant steward. Seeing the children who were so injured and thin made her very distressed.

“We’ll help too.”

“We can’t overlook something this horrible.”

The shop owners also stood up for the plight of the children. Ao uses magic to create water and they used it to wipe the bodies of the children.　

“Damn it! Run away! Bubue-”

“I’m going to get rid of the bad guys!”

Several men rushed out of the building, trying to escape from the trading company that the soldiers had rushed into. However, they were also punched down by Shiro, who is burning with rage.

I mean, Shiro is only mercilessly beating up those suspicious people.

And at this time, more reinforcements arrived.

Chapter 224: Okay, be brave

Yume Neiji

“It’s okay. Fana-oneechan and Anje-oneechan also received this treatment. They became stronger thanks to their magic circuit being repaired. It’s not like it’s cheating, but rather, I think it’s a treatment that people all over the world should receive. I guess that time should come soon.

So, Leonee-oneechan, you should do the treatment right now. Don’t worry, there is no pain, and if you receive it, your world will surely change. You will be able to acquire the strength worthy of being called a hero for sure.

In fact, if you want to become stronger you don’t have a choice but to take it. All you need is courage to take that step.

If you don’t show courage here, when will you show it?

Oneechan, you may think that you are not the reincarnation of a hero, but maybe Oneechan is really the reincarnation of a hero, not your twin brother, don’t you think so? 

The fact that it is Oneechan who is wearing the hero armor means something right? So be brave and do it.”

Through my hard work, Leonee was finally willing to do the treatment.

“W-why do I have to be naked…… Eeh!?”

“It’s because it’s easier to do it naked. You were naked in the first place, so it’s just right.”

We are now in the dressing room in the large public bath. I took my time to look at Leonee’s naked body lying on the massage table I had just set up.

“Hmm….here, here, and here are especially cross-connected. Alright, let’s get started.”

I touched Leonee’s white skin with magical powers focused  on my fingertips.

“Nnng~!?”

“Hey, don’t move.”

“Ah~…… W-wait…… Oh~, t-this is really, nngh~….…”

“Relax a bit more. It will be easier to treat that way Oneechan. Now, I’m going to move to a little more sensitive spot.”

“Mmm~~~~!?”

Then, I took my time to enjoy Leonee’s naked body. It took me about half an hour to repair her magic circuit.

The ship should have reached the skies above the Imperial City by now, but of course, the treatment is the priority.

“Haa~, haa~, haa~…… Ughn~…… I may not be able to get married anymore…… No, I don’t think I’ll be able to in the first place….…”

Even though she had just taken a bath, she was drenched in sweat again. She is now limp on the treatment table.

“Un, it went well. Your magic circuit is already better than those of an average person to begin with, but this should make it easier for you to use magic than before.”

“I hope so……”

When we went to the control room, Anje and Fana were waiting for us there.

Leonee is once again dressed in the hero’s gear and acts as Orion.

“You’re late. We’ve already arrived you know?”

“It’s now possible to go in and out of the city. I can’t see any monsters too.”

“It looks like this place had been freed from the dungeon conversion.”

It’s been a long time since I’ve been in control of a dungeon core, but apparently, I was able to do it without making a mistake.

The fact that there are ice fortresses here and there must be the work of Meltera.

“There is still a lot of chaos in the city, but I think it will calm down eventually…… I don’t think we’ll be able to resume martial arts tournaments though. In any case, it’s all thanks to you guys. I don’t know what would have happened without you guys here….. I want to thank you on behalf of the empire. Thank you so much.”

“Y-yeah”

“.…?”

I can’t say the real reason. I myself couldn’t believe that all of this happened because of the taboo items that I created in my previous life.

We get off the airship and landed in the arena for the time being. There was an ice fortress in the place where the ring was, and many of the spectators seemed to have taken refuge in it.

“Oh, it’s the hero!”

“It’s true! It’s Hero-sama! I’m glad he is safe!”

“That’s a given! It’s just as you’d expect from the Hero!”

People who noticed Orion’s appearance raised their voices.

“Maybe Hero-sama did something about it!?”

“Yes, yes! It must be so!”

“As expected of our Hero-sama!”

Orion was taken aback by their voices.

“No, no, I’m….…”

“That’s right! This city was saved by me, hero Orion! It was a close call, but it’s all fine now!”

“Uh-, R-Reus!?”

Island Maker: Tensei Shitara Slow Life Game deshita. Nonbiri shima o sodatemasu

Chapter 87: Race

Yume Neiji

It’s race day.

Silver and I are at the racecourse since morning. Silver is in a good mood by appealing to mares and posing when people say, “What a fine horse.”

“Silver, you’re going to race in a little while. Are you a little nervous?”

“Brrrr (Not really)”

Silver is pretty relaxed.

I’m not trying to win the championship, but I’d be troubled if Silver won’t race a little more seriously. Silver is a substitute for His Majesty’s horse after all. At the very least, I want Silver to race in a way that I won’t be embarrassed and save me some face.

As I waited for the race to start, Paul-oniisan arrived.

“Hey, Cedie, you’re racing too? I was surprised when I saw the list.”

“It was decided in the last minute. What about your horse?”

“Justor’s race is in three days. I’m still having Justor adjust.”

That’s usually the case.

Hmm, is it really okay to let Silver race all of a sudden?

“By the way, did you know that big brother’s horse will also be in the same race as yours?”

“Alexei-oniisan’s horse!?”

I hurriedly pulled out the schedule and participant list.

“His horse is called Alexandria. It’s an undefeated champion.”

I see, it seems to be a horse that has been winning race after race recently. I’m sure Alexei-oniisan is happy too.

“Kukuku, it sounds like you’re talking about my Alexandria.”

When I turned around, I saw Alexei-oniisan grinning with his arms crossed.

Uh-, he is as arrogant as ever.

“Hello, Alexei-oniisan.”

“Mm. But I was surprised that Cedie is here too. Are you interested in horses now? Well, it’s a good trend for a nobleman.”

My brother is in a good mood today because of he is talking about his favorite hobby.

“In fact, my horse will be running in place of His Majesty’s horse.”

“Is it a substitute for Gibraltar Teo!?”

Gibraltar Teo is a new horse to watch and a popular rival to Alexandria.

Knowing that His Majesty’s horse would not run, Alexei-oniisan was overjoyed.

“Uwahahaha! With this, Alexandria is sure to win this race too! Well, even if Gibraltar Teo enters, there’s no way my Alexandria will lose.”

“Haha……”

I couldn’t help but make a dry laugh. Big brother is smiling triumphantly at me.

“By the way, which one is Cedie’s horse?”

“U-uhm, that’s the one with Char over there.”

“What!?”

Looking at Silver, Alexei-oniisan’s face trembled with anger.

“Isn’t that Silver Season!?”

It is no wonder that Alexei-oniisan is angry. Silver has a history of throwing him off , dodging his magical attacks and even bit him. And lastly, Silver made an spectacular escape from his territory.

“It might be fate that that poor horse is running the same race.”

“Huh?”

“Today, I’m going to show you the difference in their strength and show you what it meant to be in the same league!”

“O-oh, please take it easy.”

Alexei-oniisan is burning with rivalry on his own. It’s troublesome if I get involved in a bad way, so I’ll leave him alone.

However, despite my thoughts, big brother forced me into a difficult situation.

“Okay, let’s make a bet!”

The nobles of this country loves to gamble, and Alexei-oniisan is one of them.

But I’m not!

I know about Kemoncy, so I don’t want to gamble as much as possible. I don’t want to have to give up Gandalcia because of debt.

“I don’t want to. If Alexandria wins, you’re probably going to ask me for the management of the island, right?”

“I’m not going to go so far. Well…… if you win, I’ll give you the land around the bridge in Gandalcia. It’s 100-meter radius in size.”

The Dantes territory at the foot of the bridge?

It’s exactly the area that was previously sealed off. It won’t be bad if that land becomes my own. It also includes part of the main road so the island will not be blocked in the future.

The problem is what he will ask if I lose.

“What happens if Silver loses?”

“Hmm…… I’ll get two boxes of Chateau Gandalcia Extra. If I serve that at Claire’s birthday party, it will be a great honor for the Earl’s family.”

He even chose the Extra instead of  the Special. Extra’s fetch a lot of money at auctions. When I think about it, it’s overwhelmingly at my disadvantage.

“Are you afraid of losing?”

“I don’t want to bet because I can lose.”

“But you’re from Findas, aren’t you? Running away from a challenge makes you not worthy of the Findas nobility!”

I was Japan in my previous life, and I think there are exceptions in every world. That said, preaching diversity to Alexei-oniisan is like explaining the value of pearls to pigs.

It’s troublesome, so I don’t want to do it. But I thought I should at least negotiate.

“One box, not two. Otherwise it’s not worth it.”

“Very well. Swear with honor that you will give me a box of Chateau Gandalcia Extra.”

“Okay, I accept. Alexei-oniisan, please do so as well.”

“Uhahaha, with this, the wine is secured. I’m now looking forward to today’s race.”

Alexei-oniisan laughed out loud and walked away.

Paul-oniisan on the other hand looks worried.

“Was it okay to make such a promise?”

“It can’t be helped. I didn’t want to be entangled with him anymore you see.”

“But there’s no way you can win, right?”

“You think so? But I think it’s going to be a good fight if Silver is serious.”

“What about your jockey? Alexandria’s jockey is a veteran.”

“Our jockey is Char.”

“Charlotte!?”

Paul-oniisan was so surprised, but I have no other choice. Silver doesn’t want anyone on his back except for me and Char.

“Even so, it’s unheard of for a kid like that to ride.”

“I checked with the management, they said there was no problem with the rules.”

There is no age limit for jockeys in this world. The jockey just have to put on weights so that the weight is the same with the rest.

We went to see Alexandria to scout the opponent, and it was a really good horse. The coat and muscle are the best. I feel like I know why Alexandria is an undefeated champion.

“How is it? Do you think you can win?”

“Brrrrrrr (I don’t know)”

Silver looks bored.

“Oi oi, it looks like you have no chance of winning.”

“Mm, maybe. I’ll ask Silver in this case then. Why don’t you convince him too, Oniisan?”

“G-got it.”

“Silver, please run well. If you don’t win, Alexei-oniisan will take the wine away. Try running a little harder.”

“Please, Silver Season.”

“Brrr(Mm)”

Silver nodded in agreement.

Chapter 223: Good news

Yume Neiji

The hero, Orion, is a woman. She also has impressive big breasts. It had been hidden by the hero’s armor, but now they were on full display in the bath.

『Treating the Hero’s Armor as a nuisance… you’ll be executed, right? No, I’d rather you be executed. 』

Lindwurm is saying something like that with cold air around him, but right now I only have two words in my head, “mixed bathing”.

“It’s okay Oneechan! I’m just a baby you know! You don’t have to be embarrassed, and you don’t have to hide it! Guhehehe……”

“Y-you do look like a baby, but……”

Orion distances herself from me while clutching her chest.

“No, I mean, more than that, can you keep the fact that I’m actually a woman a secret!?”

She appeals with a desperate face.

“Hmmm, what to do? I mean, Oneechan doesn’t even want to take a bath with me…… As a baby, it’s kind of sad you see…… I’m going to cry….…”

『Are you a devil, Master?』

Orion panics.

“O-okay! You can come and take a bath! Please keep this matter to yourself though!”

“Really? Yay! Then hold me Oneechan!”

“Hyaa!”

Hehehe. I’m such a cute baby……

『Where?』

I can’t help it, so I give up the hug and float right next to Orion.

“So, Oneechan, why were you pretending to be a man?”

“Oh, that’s ….…”

When I asked her about the details, she said that the beginning of the matter goes back to a prophecy by a famous prophet in this country before she was born.

“The reincarnation of the legendary hero Leon will be born into the royal family of the Empire. Right after that, I was born. But the truth is, I had a twin brother.”

Twin brother huh.

Naturally, he was hailed as the reincarnation of the hero and was celebrated throughout the empire.

“But tragedy struck my brother. He was only seven years old then.”

Her twin brother contracted an epidemic and died all of a sudden.

“The reincarnation of the hero died of an illness, and if such a thing were to be announced to the world, the authority of the empire and the royal family, which is said to be descendants of the hero, could be undermined. That’s when me, the twin sister, who looked almost similar to my brother, stood up.”

The name Orion was the name of his dead brother.

Her real name is Leonee. But from that day on, she abandoned the name Leonee and lived as Orion.

“But no matter how hard I tried, I’m not my brother…… Nor was I the reincarnation of the hero…… However, my father started a martial arts tournament during the Hero Festival in order to make the power of the hero known. At first, it was still small, and it was easy to win if I had the hero equipment. But then the number of talented contestants is gradually increasing….…”

Orion, or rather, Lionee, who acts as a hero in front of the people, expresses the pain in her heart that she could not tell anyone.

“Un, un. Oneechan, it must have been hard……”

“……You’re nodding but you’re staring at my chest the whole time, aren’t you?”

“It’s because I’m a baby. I have weakness for breasts. I mean in the sense of appetite.”

“It doesn’t look like that though…… It’s like I feel evil thoughts in you……”

『She’s right. You’re full of obscene libido Master. 』

(What is libido? I don’t understand.)

“I know there’s no the point saying this now, but if I had continued in the tournament the way I am now, I would have definitely lost…”

“You’re right. Even if you can beat Fana-oneechan, I don’t think you can beat Goritia-oniisan.”

“I’ve failed to destroy that monster vortex, and when we went inside the dungeon, I could only hide…… Haha…… It really makes me laugh that I’m a so-called hero……”

Leonee sobs self-deprecatingly.

I then made a proposal to her.

“I have good news for you though! In fact, there is a special treatment that can quickly bring out your potential…… If you’d like to, why don’t you give it a try? (grins)”

Isekai Nonbiri Sanpo Tabi

Walking, Chapter 94: An unexpected situation occurred

Yume Neiji

The tour on the slave trading company was over, so we decided to head to the Margrave’s mansion.

At the entrance, the steward, who had accompanied the wife of former Margave, gave a souvenir to the chairman of the slave trading company.

“Thank you very much for your time today. Thanks to you, we were able to get some very good information. Please enjoy this with everyone.”

“I’m sorry to bother you, thank you.”

Slaves don’t usually have the opportunity to eat sweet treats, so I’m sure they’ll be happy with the gift from the old lady.

Just then, a carriage with the escorting soldiers of the former Margrave’s wife arrived in front of the company.

Everyone was about to see her off  when—

Crash!

“P-please forgive me.”

“Shut up! If you don’t listen to me, this is what you’ll end up with!”

Bashin!

“F-forgive me, forgive me.”

“Damn! This thing is no good no matter how much time passes!”

Diagonally across from the one we just visited was the new trading company.

A little girl had been blown out of the building and she landed into the street. Then she is being beaten and kicked by the man who chased her outside. The little girl is crouching down, holding her head tightly while repeatedly asking for forgiveness.

We all froze at the sudden event, but someone immediately sprang into action.

“Hey! Stop it!”

“Huh? What’s up with this midget?”

Shiro stepped between the man and the little girl with her arms outstretched. Ao moved to the little girl’s side and quickly casted a healing spell on her.

Well, no matter how I look at it, the man seems to be a rogue.

“This slave is my commodity. It doesn’t matter what I do to her!”

“You should not bully a little girl!”

The man spat and made a sneer, but Shiro was not frightened.

The little girl looked up at Shiro with an anxious expression.

“I can’t believe there are people out there doing stupid things like this. How pathetic it is, indeed!”

And at that moment, someone stepped out of the carriage.

Oh, this person has come to pick up his wife.

“Grandpa!”

Yes, it was the previous Margrave who appeared from the carriage. He is angry at the barbarism that took place in front of him.

“What did you say? You damn old man!”

Then, thinking that he had been further interrupted, the man started yelling insults at the previous Margrave. As the man in front yelled insults, knights surrounded the previous Margrave as if to protect him.

People walking down the street and staff from other shops were also watching the commotion, and they seemed surprised by the man’s crazy words.

“Oi oi, that guy just insulted the previous Margrave.”

“Yeah. And what’s more, he did what the previous Margrave hated the most —bullying the weak— right in front of him.”

“If he’s not careful, his head will be blown off.”

The people around us are now making such buzz and they are actively talking about what could happen to him.

Hearing those words, the man now seemed to have realized the identity of the person he had just insulted.

“Eh? T-the previous Margrave? S-seriously?”

Oi, where did all your boldness from before go?

The man fell on his butt, trembling.
