Chapter 206: I’ll avenge you

Yume Neiji

“It’s so frustratiiiiiiiiing!!”

That night, Anje felt extremely frustrated.

“Uhm, Anje-oneechan, you did well you know. Even though your opponent is an S-rank adventurer, you managed to push him to that point.”

I comforted Anje. Goritia was by far the most powerful of all the humans I had encountered since I was incarnated in this era.

I trained her last night, but to be honest, I didn’t think Anje would be able to get him to fight her to that point. When the match began, Anje performed better than I expected.

Perhaps, due to the nature of an Amazoness, she would be better off fighting against opponents who are stronger than herself, but whatever it was, I think it was a good fight to be proud of.

“As Goritia said, Anje-oneechan will be able to win eventually.”

“……”

Still, Anje looks frustrated. In a way, this competitive spirit may be the secret to her strength.

“Anje, I will avenge you.”

Anje roared at Fana’s perverse words.

“I’ll hate it more that way, you know! That would mean that I’ve indirectly lost to you!”

“……?”

Incidentally, the first round of the finals was played up to the fourth game in one day. The remaining match 5 through 8 are scheduled to be played tomorrow. Fana will appear in the seventh game of the tournament.

“You’re going to be against that hero guy in the first place. You should focus on defeating him first.”

“Mm, don’t worry, I’ll win.”

Fana is full of confidence, but it is probably without any basis.

★★★

And the next day.

“Now then, it’s finally time for the second half of the first round of the final tournament…! We can surely expect a match that will be just as exciting as the first half! I’m sure there are some spectators out there who were so excited that they couldn’t sleep! Right? Right? I’ll be honest, I am one of them…! So right now, I’m really sleepy! Please show me a fight that will blow away this drowsiness…!”

The fifth match began amid boos from some in the audience in response to the commentator, with comments like “Who cares, you idiot” and “Do a better job of commentating!”.

In the center stage, there is a man so big that he seems to be a giant, and a small young man who wields a spear. The two were complete contrasts, and the difference in physique was even greater than that between an adult and a child. However, against most expectations, the spear-wielding young man won. He was toying with the big man throughout the match with his agile movements. The spear-wielder advanced to the second round.

And in the sixth game, a knight belonging to the Imperial Knights faced off against a shabby looking old man.

The odds were overwhelmingly in favor of the knight, but once the match began, an unexpected development took place. The old man, who fought with his barehand, fended off the knight’s attack with movements like flower petals dancing in the air and he delivered counterattacks with exquisite timing. 

What’s more, the counterattacks were powerful enough that it is hard to believe that they are coming from such an emaciated old man. The knight was ultimately cornered. 

Still, the knight showed his will at the end. He was prepared to take the old man’s attack head on, and with a powerful blow, he achieved a major comeback victory.

“Valuma-shi narrowly won a victory! But to have pushed an Imperial Knights to this point…… what an old man he is……!?”

There was a lot of excitement in both matches, and eventually, it was the seventh match.

“Whoa, whoa, the excitement in the venue is at its peak! It is now finally the time for that person to appear…! Yes, it’s our hero, Prince Orion’s turn…!”

Amidst the loudest cheers, Orion, the prince and hero of this country entered the ring.

“““Kyaaaaahhh!! Orion-samaaaaaaa!!!”””

The squeals were so loud that it was earsplitting. Some of the girls were so excited that they fainted.

“And for our Hero’s opponent, it’s the A-rank adventurer Fana-shi! She is in the same party as Anje-shi, who put up an amazing fight yesterday! This is surely going to be an incredible match…!”

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

Chapter 54: When one door closes, another opens

Yume Neiji

Eugenie came to the auberge with her parents. Earl Simpson is a tall, slender man with slicked back silver hair. He seems a gentle and mild-mannered gentleman, but he also has a strong core. He is a well-respected noble with a reputation for managing his estates reliably. Mrs. Simpson is also a modest and kind lady. If anything, Eugenie resembles her father.

Earl Simpson seemed a little tired, perhaps because he had just returned from the Capital. Eugenie has specifically requested it, so I’m going to treat them to bird’s nest soup tonight.

Once again, the miraculous soup has proven its effectiveness tonight. Earl Simpson’s voice became louder with delight.

“I heard about this from Eugie but this is really amazing. It’s like energy is welling up from deep within my body.”

His wife is fidgeting too. She’s been told that her skin has become firmer and her hair has become smoother, so she probably wants to see for herself. She seems to be desperately trying to suppress the urge to look in the mirror.

There are no other customers today, so I think it’s okay to violate the etiquette a little.

“Madam, there are flower petals on your shoulders…… Please take them off yourself.”

I unfolded the large full-length mirror and stood next to Mrs. Simpson.

The season is late winter and the flowers have not yet bloomed. Even Mrs. Simpson would have known that there were no flower petals on her shoulder.

Well, it’s a bit of a neat trick.

Madam pretended to clean her shoulders and checked her appearance.

“Thank you so much, Cedie-kun.”

Mrs. Simpson’s cheeks flushed as she examined herself. She must have been satisfied. Earl Simpson seemed pleased as well.

“Gandalcia is a really interesting place. It’s no wonder that Eugie spends all her free time here.”

“I told you right, Father. This is a truly mysterious island!”

“Yeah. There’s also your beloved Cedie here too, isn’t it?”

“Father! Don’t say such delicate topics here.”

Eugenie is a little upset, but I could understand the feeling.

Why do adults make fun of kids like that?

It is making things awkward, so I wish they’d stop. Still, the dinner went smoothly, and we were able to eat the main dish without leaving any leftovers.

The restaurant is doing well, but I still have a lot to worry about. It’s about those bottled goods.

Because of Alexei-oniisan, I could no longer do business with the merchants in the Dantes Territory. Today, Emma wrote to me to tell me that she was officially unable to do business with me. Apparently, Alexei-oniisan also hindered the merchant’s side.

Dawsill and Cawsill have become accustomed to their work, and they want to make a lot of bottled goods. They are both hard workers. However, if I can’t find a sales partner, we would end up with a surplus of stock. Then I won’t be able to pay their salaries.

Sigh.

I must have had a dazed face as Earl Simpson called out to me with concern.

“Cedie-kun, you seem to be in trouble. Well, I’ve heard the gist of it from my daughter.”

“-Uh, I’m sorry that you heard such disgrace.”

I had told Eugenie about my conflict with Alexei-oniisan. Earl Simpson must have heard of my predicament from Eugenie.

“Can you show me your bottled goods?”

It was a sudden offer, but the faint hope that maybe Earl Simpson would buy it tickled my heart. I’d like to have my inventory sold out as much as possible and reward the hard work of the Dawsill and the others.

There are bottled goods in the restaurant’s kitchen so I immediately brought them and laid them out on the table.

Chestnuts in syrup, duck confit, apple and pear compote, sardines in oil, pineapple in syrup, pickled vegetables. Now that I’m looking at it, the variety has increased quite a bit. Well, it’s good to have a repertoire.

“I can’t believe this is a preserved food. What is this anyway?”

Earl Simpson looks pensive at the bottled pineapple.

“It is pineapple preserved in syrup. Would you like to have a taste?”

“Hmm, okay, let me try it.”

The meal is almost done and it’s time for dessert. I asked Lynn to serve it on a dessert plate.

“Delicious! This would be perfect for an adventure. Cedie, give me three of them.”

“Eugie!”

Mrs. Simpson is scolding the frolicsome Eugenie. I guess Mrs. Simpson isn’t too happy about her going out everywhere on Gian.

I’ll just give it to her secretly later……

“This tomboy’s snack aside, these bottled items are pretty good. I’ll introduce you to the merchants in the Simpson territory. Well, I’m pretty sure they’d be happy to buy these even without my recommendation though.”

“Thank you very much!”

Earl Simpson wrote me a letter of introduction on the spot.

Mio delivered the letter to the merchant afterwards.

Mio was upset and has been down because she had taken the spy job. She wanted to be of some help to me. It seems that she also cut ties with Alexei-oniisan. She doesn’t seem to have anywhere to go, so I decided to let her stay on this island for a while. Now she helps out at the auberge and the food processing plant and is also an assistant to Nowald-sensei. Since she is a former adventurer, she is also good at exploring caves.

Everyone is happy that Mio is working hard. It should be fine this way for a while.

✲✲✲

Somehow, the deal worked out, and we ended up shipping 500 bottles to a merchant in the Polymer town. The wholesale price is 200~500 crown coins, so for the time being, I’ve secured the salary of Cawsill and Dawsill.

I’ll aim to continue expanding our sales channels in this manner.

However, there are still problems. It’s the means of transportation.

The shipment will be to the Polymer port which is further down the road from Lebon. It’s quickest to transport it by boat, but Lulu’s boat is too small for it. It would be possible to divide it into two parts, but it would take a lot of time and effort, and it would take a lot of work for her.

Dawsill is also worried about this.

“If we could at least have a wagon, we could transport it.”

A wagon huh…….

Speaking of horses, I could go to Paul-oniisan. Maybe I should ask him for help in this. However, even the cheapest horse is still worth at least a million crown coins. I can’t afford that now.

I wonder if I can at least buy a donkey. Though it is not as strong as a horse, donkeys are strong too. Many merchants let donkeys pull carts, and they are often seen on the main road.

Alright, it’s decided.

I’ll find some free time and talk to Paul-oniisan about it.

With that decision made, I planted grass in the fields. It’s a bit premature, but I’ll need it once I get my hands on a horse or a donkey.

“A donkey? I’m looking forward to it! Char will take care of it well!”

Char watered the fields while engrossed in excitement.

Chapter 205: It’s the opposite

Yume Neiji

As I expected, Goritia’s body could no longer withstand the accumulated damage, and suddenly something strange happened to him. He staggered in the ring and fell to his knees.

Anje did not let that golden opportunity slip.

“I got you……! Haaaaaahh!”

With all her might, Anje aimed a merciless kick at the side of Goritia’s head as he is now on his knees and slightly lower to the ground.

“As one would expect from Reus-sama. It looks like the battle will end with Anje’s victory just as expected.”

“No, I predicted the the opposite though.”

“Eh?”

—It was at that moment when Anje’s kick was about to slam into the side of Goritia’s head.

“Nuuaaaaaaaahhh!”

Goritia let out a roar, and he went in to slam his head into Anjer’s foot.

It was a headbutt.

Dooooooon!

With a resounding crash, Anje’s foot and Goritia’s head are bounced back at the same time.

If you think about it normally, the head is more vulnerable than the feet. One would think that Ange would win, but—

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!?”

The one screaming and rolling around the ring is Anje, whose foot has been bent in the opposite direction.

Goritia, on the other hand, quickly stood up. There is blood pouring down his forehead and he was a little wobbly though, probably due to a mild concussion.

“Even though you are still young, you are quite strong. I didn’t expect that I, who had abandoned the maiden and released my powers, would be pushed to this point. I have no doubt that you will eventually reach S rank. That is a gift from me, as I have high hopes for your future.”

Saying that, Goritia concentrates his fighting spirit on his right hand.

“Qi bullet!!”

He shot out with fighting spirit with his eyes fixed on Anje.

“Hmm, it’s a technique used by the man who was once called a God of War.”

I nodded my head as I watched from the airship.

Qi, which is life energy, strengthens the body by circulating it in the body. However, there is a technique that allows it to be launched and used as a projectile.

“It is very draining, but in return, it exerts tremendous power. However, if used by a skilled person, it is a dangerous technique that could even cost a person their life.”

Apparently, Goritia is using it while controlling the output well.

It’s not an easy feat though.

“Just as you’d expect from an S-rank adventurer.”

Anje is blown away by the unleashed fighting spirit and was sent out of the ring.

“J-just what on earth did Goritia-shi do……!? All I saw is that he thrust his right hand towards Anje-shi, then Anje-shi suddenly flew out of the ring! C-could it be that she was blown away just with the force of his fist alone?!”

Qi can only be seen by those who have undergone a certain amount of training. The commentator probably didn’t see how he attacked. Of course, the same goes for the audience.

There was a buzz at the strange way the match had ended, but as people remembered the battles that had been fought up until that point, the murmurs quickly turned to loud applause in praise of the two strong fighters.

“A standing ovation in praise of the fierce battle between these two strong contestants…! It was a match that is far too different from the first round of the final tournament!!! Even though she lost, Anje-shi is a talented fighter who would have advanced to the finals in any other year! It’s such a shame she was eliminated here!!”

Mixed in with thunderous applause, the excited voice of the commentator resounds in the arena.

“But don’t be sad my dear audience, there are still a lot of great contestants left in this tournament!!! Alright……Now let’s move on to the third match! Ah……right…. The ring has been destroyed again….…”

Then the alchemists once again hurriedly gathered around the ring, and for a while they worked with utmost effort to repair it.

Isekai Nonbiri Sanpo Tabi

Walking, Chapter 66: Suspicious passenger

Yume Neiji

“From here, we are entering another territory.”

“Oh, we’re finally here!”

It was the fourth day since we left the Southern Frontier town.

We are finally entering a new territory.

By the way, from the border, we will change to a new carriage and ride it to the Viscountcy which is at the halfway point. That journey will last for two days.

Our journey through the Southern Margravate was truly peaceful. The weather was good, and most importantly, there were no monster attacks. So on the way, Shiro and Ao were either sleeping on my lap or on Sue’s lap. The lodgings we stayed at are also good. I was able to get separate rooms for men and women. Shiro would sleep with either me or Sue, depending on how she felt that day. Occasionally, we were asked to treat people in the villages we stop by, but that was no big deal.

Anyway, all in all, we had a leisurely journey throughout. Well, I can say that all of that is a proof that the Southern Margravate is well governed.

“I’ve heard that there is a forest on the way to the Viscount’s territory, so let’s be careful.”

“Oka~y.”

It’s not going to be a leisurely journey from now on. The passengers on board with us before had also warned me about this.

The Eastern Margravate also has border security, so they regularly patrol the roads to exterminate dangerous animals and monsters. However, leaving aside the viscountcy, the road we are going to is full of small estates. Since it’s just a small estate, the soldiers in the area are not that many and the budget for asking adventurers to kill dangerous animals and monsters is limited. Meaning, it increases the likelihood that something will happen on the road.

“Normally, adventurers sometimes accompany passengers as escorts. Well, this time, we are already here so I guess we could also do the work.”

“Un! Even if something happens, Shiro will defeat it!”

“Shiro-chan is really energetic.”

We already boarded a new carriage. We’re chatting with each other, but the passengers are looking at us with questionably.

It’s understandable though. Because we are all underage.

By the way, there are two uncles and two aunts on board with us. The uncle is not a particularly bad person, but there’s something suspicious about him, so Shiro isn’t eager to talk to him. However, it would be a hassle to change carriages just to get going, so we decided to just head off even with him.

Koro-koro-koro.

After traveling along the highway for a while in the carriage, we left the grassland and entered the forest. The road is well maintained but there are dense trees on both sides. The weather is cloudy so it’s a little chilly.

As I was thinking about this, something caught my search magic.

Rustle, rustle.

“Oh, something is coming!”

Both Shiro and Ao reacted, so they immediately took a fighting stance.

“Grrrrrrr..…”

A group of wolves emerged from the bushes. About a dozen of them are glaring at us with a growl.

“Uwaa, there are so many of them!”

“I-it’s over….…”

The other passengers are shocked by the number of wolves as they are more than expected.

Looks like they thought that we can’t defeat the wolves so they look like it’s the end of the world.

““Ei!””

“Gyan!”

First, me and Sue cast a spell to reduce the number of wolves. Of course, we did not forget to aim for their heads so that the material doesn’t go bad.

“To!”

“Kyauun~ kyauun!”

Shiro and Ao quickly closed in on the wolves that we had missed and kicked them away.

In the blink of an eye, the wolves were all killed.

Ao immediately began draining the blood from the wolves.

“T-there are no more wolves around.”

““Eh?””

I used the search again to examine the surroundings, but there was no hostile response. The passengers still don’t seem to understand that the battle is over so quickly.

“Shun-oniichan, I have retrieved the wolves.”

“Good job. Thank you for your hard work.”

“I’m going to clean up your body with life magic.”

“Yay, thank you Sue-oneechan!”

Right after that, we returned to our seats in the usual warm mood.

““““……””””

The passengers, having just seen something unbelievable, looked at us from a distance as if we were rare animals.

Hey, that’s rude!

“Hahaha, I’ve heard the rumors, but you guys are strong huh.”

“You mean, Shiro and the others are strong?”

“That’s right, you guys are very efficient. As expected of the goblin hunter.”

“Ehehe”

Only the coachman seemed to have heard about us. He was the only one who has remained very calm.

Shiro and Ao were in a good mood after being complimented by the coachman.

After that, there were a few attacks before heading to the first stop, but we easily defeated them. Well, compared to the Goblin General and that magician woman, they are no match for us unless we let our guard down.

The passengers no longer looked at us questionably but instead looked a little frightened. Maybe they were worried that we were going to do something to them because they had been rude to us before.

Of course, we will not do anything to them but I’m grateful for the quietness.

Thus, the carriage arrived at its first lodging.

Walking, Chapter 65: Beginning of a Leisurely Journey

Yume Neiji

“Shun-oniichan, how do we proceed from here?”

“We’ll get through the Southern Frontier Margravate in three days, then pass through a viscount’s territory and small fiefdoms in four days, then after that, we will finally enter the Eastern Frontier Margravate. Then in three days, we should reach the big town.”

“Oh, I see.”

Passing through the town’s defense wall, the horse-drawn carriage slowly rocks us along the road. From here, it will be a 10-day carriage journey, so there’s no need for us to rush and leave it up to the horses.

“But we’re also really lucky. I didn’t expect we’d end up going together with a goblin hunter.”

“Mmm, it also means that our safety on the road has been ensured.”

“What’s more, to think that the goblin hunter is such a cute little girl.”

“Ehehe!”

It seems that word of our defeat of the goblin horde has spread throughout the town, and we’ve become quite famous. Shiro is also being stroked on the head by a passenger uncle, and she and Ao are beaming with joy.

Well, you really wouldn’t think that a little girl like her would be able to defeat a Goblin General with a heel drop.

Sometimes we made a stop to give the horse a break, but it’s quite a pain in the butt because we are just sitting there all the time.

“In the next stop, it would be better to buy a cushion.”

“That’s right, my butt hurts.”

Shiro and Ao are fine, but Sue and I have a sore butt, so I decided to buy a cushion.

But all in all, it’s an idyllic road.

The Margrave told me before that he regularly makes his soldiers hunt monsters near the main road that is why it is quite safe here. There are only signs of ordinary animals in the vicinity, and there is no sign of danger.

Shiro and Ao are lounging in the field. Plants and trees are now starting to sprout, so it really feels like spring is near.

“Mmmm,(mumble, mumble).”

“Shiro-chan fell asleep.”

“I think that’s because they thought this was a safe place.”

Before I knew it, Shiro fell asleep in the field, so I decided to put her back in a carriage and let her sleep there.

After that, the carriage continued to move forward and then we arrived at the first village, which also served as a stopover area, without any major trouble.

“It smells good!”

Shiro seemed to have been awakened by the smell of food as she suddenly woke up.

She really can’t miss a good meal.

“Auntie, the food smells delicious!”

“Oh, thank you. Please eat a lot.”

“Yes!”

Both Shiro and Ao eats the food served in the cafeteria so deliciously. Small children eat a lot, so the people around them are also relaxed.

Sue was also satisfied with the meal and ate well. She had a small appetite when we first met, but now she can eat normally.

Some of the passengers brought bread and other items, and they had lunch in their own way.

“Excuse me, I heard that there are excellent adventurers here.”

I finished eating lunch and had time before departure, so I was chatting with the passengers when a woman ran inside the cafeteria. Then everyone inside were all pointing at us, implicitly answering that we were the excellent adventurers the woman is looking for.

Leaving that aside, this woman seemed very anxious.

I wonder if something had happened.

“What’s wrong?”

“My daughter has been in bed with a high fever for a long time, can you please take a look at her?”

“Oh, that’s terrible. Shun-san, let’s go right away.”

“That’s right, Shun-oniichan. We need to take a look at her.”

“That’s right. Then, please take us to your daughter.”

“Thank you very much. This way, this way please.”

Apparently, when she heard that there is an excellent adventurer in the carriage, she must have had glimmer of hope and took courage to go ask for help.

Led by the woman, we arrived at the house where I found a little girl sleeping in pain.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

When I checked the condition while lightly flowing magic power to the girl, it looked like pneumonia and there was a large stagnation in the lungs. However, it was quite severe and I couldn’t seem to cure it, so I handed the job over to Sue.

“What an incredible magical light!”

“Hmm, Shun-san, what do you think of this?”

Sue is doing her best to treat the girl. The mother is quite surprised to see the girl glow with holy magic.

After passing the baton to Sue, I examined the girl again. The condition of her lungs seemed to have improved, but there is a slight stagnation in her stomach as well.

Sue continued to cast healing magic on her while I check on the girl’s condition.

“We treated the patient as best we could. Not only did you have pneumonia, but you also had some swelling in your stomach. But don’t worry, she’s fine now. However, she doesn’t have much strength so please let her rest for a while.”

“Thank you, thank you very much.”

The girl’s complexion improved, and her sleeping breathing became calmer.

The girl’s mother tearfully thanked us, especially Sue.

In fact, the little girl was in a pretty dangerous state.

“Oh, you’re back.”

“That was quick. How was it?”

“It was quite dangerous, but we managed to heal her.”

“That’s good, that’s good. Oh right, I’ve heard that the lady is also an excellent support. That child is really lucky.”

“Well, I didn’t think I could cure it, so I’m really glad Sue was here.”

It just so happened that we were having a stop here and Sue was there, but maybe the girl was just lucky.

Sue’s face was red from everyone’s compliments, but there’s no doubt that she was the star of the day.

Then, our leisurely carriage ride resumed.

Chapter 18: Strange occurrence in the dungeon

Yume Neiji

When we arrived to help, a swarm of monsters was chasing the man.

“This way!”

We called out to him then Mia-san and I faced the herd. The man ran towards us.

“T-thank goodness!”

“Hurry up and stand back.”

I faced a kobold. I could read its sword movement perfectly.

“Fuu.”

Father is gone, but he left me a note. It lists the techniques he taught me or planned to teach me. I’ve been looking at it every day for over a year now, reviewing it in the process. Of course, without skills, that is, physical ability, it was all meaningless learning. But it all become a part of me.

I increased my physical ability by using 『Sun’s Divine Protection』skill.

“Gaaah!”

The kobold swirls its sword. I spin in the opposite direction myself. Holding my sword with my left hand, I use my momentum to deflect the opponent’s sword.

I blocked its attack with my short sword. Then I quickly move out of the way of the kobold’s next strike and I stabbed its chest with the short sword.

“Rion, there’s another one coming.”

When Mia-san says that, it’s when she thinks it’s okay to leave the opponent to me.

“Yes!”

I immediately turn around and avoided the sword being swung down at me. Another strike followed after, but I blocked the attack with my arm. After reducing its momentum, I hook it with my foot with all my might.

A fall is a temporary incapacitation.

The movements that I have imagined many times in my head have been brought out in actual battles. It’s like a drawer that didn’t open was unlocked. I was struggling with the hordes of monsters before, but now I can get through them without the Golden Flame.

After stabbing two kobolds to death, Mia-san killed the last one, a giant ant, with an axe throw.

Seeing that we killed all the monsters, the adventurer who has been hiding in the back comes out. It seems that he was alone and not in a party.

“Thank you so much for helping me.”

It is a face that I have seen several times.

Suddenly, his eyes widen in surprise.

“You…… You are Rion the wake-up caller, right? I’ve heard you got a useless skill….”

Mia-san snorts at him.

“Rion, are you going?”

“W-wait a second. Thanks. I’m really thankful that you guys saved me……”

The man rubbed his feet and stared at the scattered magic stones dazedly.

“T-those giant ants…… No, it’s strange. Something is definitely wrong……!”

He is shaking as he held himself. We may not be able to talk properly until he calms down.

“……Huh?”

When I look closely, I can see that there is a purple liquid on his head.

Mia-san points it out.

“That is a giant ant’s pheromone. That is why monsters are gathering towards you.”

“Uwaa.”

The man wiped his head nervously and dropped the purple liquid. It has a pungent smell.

“Uh, -uhm, I’m sorry. I stepped in a pitfall trap on the exploration level.”

I tilted my head in confusion.

There shouldn’t have been such a thing on the first floor……

“A trap? There shouldn’t have been anything like that on the first floor though.”

“I know right? It’s really strange, right? It’s indeed true that the difficulty of the dungeon has increased.”

Apparently, he was dropped down by that trap and he found himself surrounded by a large number of monsters.

This person is an adventurer who specializes in gathering. I can often see him in the exploration level. Even kobolds are no much for him, but if they form a herd, he has no choice but to flee.

His trembling fingers point to a gaping hole in the wall.

“Over there……that’s where I fell!”

I approached the exit of the pitfall. There is a slide inside and it seems to be connected to the upper floor.

Mia-san puts her hand to her chin.

“Hmm, it’s definitely a trap. Giant ants are also monsters from the Western Dungeon. I guess the difficulty level here is increasing fast.”

Suddenly, I get worried.

The difficulty of the dungeons is clearly unusual. I’m making more money, but adventurers like me who used to use this dungeon will be in trouble.

“But why……?”

As I muttered, I heard Solana’s voice.

『……Rion』

(Hmm, what is it?)

『I sense something strange nearby. 』

I decided to look around for a moment.

A little distance away from the scattered magic stones, I found a pouch lying against the wall. It’s not a dropped item. It’s a palm-sized pouch used by adventurers.

The mouth part of it is open and something black, ash-like thing was spilled on the ground.

『……What’s that? I have a really bad feeling about it. 』

When I used the 『Alarm』skill, Solana jumped out of the coin. She is about the size of a doll, and no one could see her except me so I wouldn’t have to worry about attracting attention.

“It looks like ash though.”

“Hmmm, is that so? But……ash huh….”

Solana approached the bag.

“…..It smells burnt…… It’s as if it was on fire just a moment ago….…”

Her small shoulders trembles.

“Huh?……W-what’s this…… I remember a little. …..A big shadow—a giant? Sealed ice…… fire….…”

Just as I was about to ask what she is talking about, I was called from behind.

“Rion”

““Uwaa!?””

It was Mia-san.

Solana and I gasped in surprised. Well, I don’t think Mia-san heard Solana though.

The ashes on the ground glowed red as if they were bursting into flames once again, then they disappeared.

“What’s wrong?”

“N-nothing…… It’s something that fell there I guess.”

Mia-san picks up the pouch. The contents are already empty, and the identity of the ashes is unknown. However, the pouch was made of fine silk, like what nobles use.

Mia-san asks, pinching the pouch.

“Is it a lost item……?”

There’s no point in asking each other though.

After escorting the person who fell down on the trap back up, we decided to train a little more.

I’ve gotten stronger. I can really feel that.

Today, as we leave the guild with our pouch full, the other adventurers look on dumbfounded.

After exchanging it to cash in the artisan district, Mia-san asked.

“Hey Rion, how much money did you owe Gideon?”

It was a question I knew I’ll be asked someday.

As sunset drew closer, it was getting chilly.

Mia-san sighed and scratched her head.

“Actually, I’ve been curious. I’ve heard rumors, but I wanted to hear the truth.”

“It’s 4 million Gent.”

I whispered to Mia-san.

Mia-san’s eyes opened wide when she heard my answer.

“Haaaa~~~??”

“I-it’s for the World Tree Elixir…… Well, the item I bought is worth that much. It cures all kinds of illnesses, so even nobles buy it.”

“Heh~, and he even asked for that much money from a commoner…… What an orc in the shape of humans, no, he’s a demon……”

Sigh.

In the end, Lu couldn’t be cured by that elixir. She was fine for a couple of days, but it quickly turned around.

“You did well paying it back..…”

“Actually, I worked hard for a year and only paid half of it. I worked with my whole family to save up……”

Still, nearly half of the loan remains to be paid back—1.5 million Gent.

Even if it was exorbitant and we knew it was a disadvantageous deal, it was fine as long as they sold it. That was the conclusion our family came to.

I didn’t want to repeat the loss of my family after my father was gone.

I wonder if Lu is doing well.…

“The deadline is two years, so I still have about a year to repay it. But…… I’m worried about Gideon’s behavior though.”

Suddenly, he pressures me to repay the loan or attacks me. For the time being, the Adventurer’s Guild is a witness to the contract. But Gideon’s reckless way of doing things was conspicuous. The power of the nobles may be growing even more.

“But that’s a lot of money.”

Mia-san crosses her arms with a difficult face.

“The blacksmith shop probably doesn’t need so many spirit stones. Hmm…, I’ll recommend you to another shop. There are only a limited number of shops with solid backing that aren’t swayed by nobles though.”

After all, I’m glad I met Mia-san.

A glimpse of anxiety also crosses my mind. I tried not to think about it too much, but Mia-san is going against the nobles, and I wondered if she would be okay.

“Mia-san you….…”

“Don’t worry. Even if they look down on me here in the Royal Capital, I’ll just keep going on the frontier.”

This is what I admire about her. Even if she leaves the Royal Capital, she can be an adventurer freely.

Mia-san is originally from the frontier. She’s saving money for her hometown. She’s apparently raising money to reinforce the wooden fence protecting their village and change it with stone walls.

My father was also from the frontier, so Mia-san probably knows about the “adventure” part of being an adventurer.

“Outside the Royal Capital huh……”

After saying goodbye to Mia-san, I went home.

Mom and Lu are waiting for me.

Hazure Skill “Alarm”, jitsuwa fūin kaijo no nōryoku deshita. Ochikobore no shōnen wa, nemuri kara sameta megami-tachi to yasashī saikyō o mezasu

Chapter 17: Eastern Dungeon

Yume Neiji

Dive and sell.

Dive and sell.

Dive, dive, sell.

“Clink, Clink♪, I hear the sound of coins.”

Mia-san, smiles widely. She accompanies me in my exploration.

It is already the fifth day that the two of us had dived into the dungeon. In the meantime, I’ve been wary of Gideon’s interference, but nothing has happened so far.

I haven’t told Mia-san about my 『Alarm』 skill yet, but I vaguely told her that it’s a “magic-related” skill. Many people keep their skills a secret. Mia-san also hasn’t said anything more about her skills so far.

However, at least in terms of combat, Mia-san is competitive.

『 Rion』

Solana’s voice echoes in my head. I wiped the sweat off my face from the continuous battles.

『I sense a monster.』

(Okay, I understand.)

The monsters in the Eastern Dungeon have become much stronger after all!

Dungeons for beginners are now open to skilled players. The feeling that the difficulty of the Eastern Dungeon has increased, which I had been thinking for a long time, has become a reality.

There are skeletons, wargs and even giant ants. I saw such monsters in rapid succession.

I’m sure Mia-san is also getting more motivated because of this. And this may be why the guild and Gideon couldn’t care about me for now.

I draw my short sword and braced myself.

We are at the fourth floor of the Eastern Dungeon. The atmosphere is tense. We are just above a boss floor after all so there is an indescribable sense of tension.

“Rion, it’s a group again.”

Mia-san spoke.

It was a herd that appeared. There are 3 skeletons, 3 goblins, and 2 wolf-like monsters called wargs.

“Ha! They’re in a proper formation!”

The wargs leading the group immediately leapt at us. Mia-san beats one of them with a one-handed axe and leaves the other to me.

I held my short sword tightly and then I slashed its throat as we passed each other.

Status:
Rion (14 years old, Male)
Level: 8
Skill『Alarm』:
➥ 【Wake Up】⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅Wakes up a sleeping person refreshed.
➥ 【Unseal】 ⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅Cancel any type of sleep.
Skill『Sun’s Divine Protection』
➥ 【White Flame】⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅Recovery. The blessing of the sun also exorcises curses.
➥ 【Golden Flame】⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅Improves physical ability. Further effects for a limited time.

I’m currently level 8.

Since I started fighting monsters more proactively, my level has risen rapidly. Level 10 is said to be the point where you leave the beginner stage. I’ve also been defeating powerful monsters such as hordes of skeletons, which is a big part of the reason. Normally, those are monsters that people who can clear the Eastern Dungeon would face.

The reason why I am able to fight well is because of my improved abilities due to the 【Sun’s Divine Protection】 and because of this person.

“Mia-san!”

“Yeah. Stand back.”

Mia-san wields a chain axe and blows up the shields of the skeletons all at once. Taking advantage of the reach of the chain, she threw it and swept them away.

Also taking that opportunity, I aimed for one of the goblins. I slashed it with my short sword and incapacitates it. After doing that, I jumped back and stood with my back to Mia-san.

“Rion, there is only one skeleton left, do you want to try it?”

“……Yes!”

We quickly swapped places. I left the goblins to Mia-san and then I aim for the only skeleton left.

The skeleton was surprised that its opponent has changed—it unleashed a sword skill without any hesitation.

However, Mia-san has weakened it, so it moves slowly.

Even if I use my saved trump card, the 【Golden Flame】skill, I know that I won’t be able to win against it yet.

“Alarm!”

I used 【Unseal】on my short sword. A green light then shot out from the crystal on it, sending a gust of wind crashing into the skeleton.

The skeleton’s stance was thrown into disarray. The opening that was created was like a hole in its defense. Not wasting that opening, I jumped up and then I quickly plunged my short sword into its sternum. The skeleton’s torso was destroyed and then it was reduced to ashes. Magic stones scattered everywhere.

“Woof!”

The spirit that I first used the 【Wake up】 skill lives in the blue crystal short sword and lends me its powers. After I wake it up with my skill, it immediately used wind magic. It’s like a thank you for unsealing it.

I have Solana’s protection, Mia-san’s support, and this child as well.

“It’s all thanks to you.”

The spirit spun around like a dog and returned to the crystal short sword.

You’ve leveled up. You are now level 9.

God’s voice warms my heart. I raised my clenched fist.

“I did it!”

“Yeah, you did well. The skeleton swarm is equivalent to level 15, so even with that much, you’ll level up.”

I nodded my head in understanding.

We’re also making money even faster.

Ideally, it would have been nice if 『Alarm』 skill, or 『Sun’s Divine Protection』 skill had also grown in ability. However, till now, there is no change to them.

As if reading my mind, Mia-san talked about it.

“There’s a lot of different ways to develop skills.”

With my ears perked up, I picked up as many stones as I can on the ground. Some of them would become glowing crystals and spirit stones when I use 【Unseal】.

Mia-san looked on in amazement as a light appeared in my hand and the stones turned into green crystals.

“Ah, ahem. Say for example, my Axeman skill is the type that gains more skills as I level up. But it also grows with the number of times I use it. So you see, there are various ways to it. You just have to be patient and observe ways how to do it.”

“That’s right……”

In my case, I have two skills.

As for the 『Alarm』 skill, the “number of uses” message that I had heard before has stopped recently.

Does that mean that the next condition for growth is no longer the number of times I used it? 

Or, has it stopped growing entirely?

“Hmm……”

I’m worried.

I feel like asking Solana about 『Sun’s Divine Protection』 but I’ve been struggling with this as well.

『Seal…… It reminds me of something. 』

“Hmm……”

『Hmm……』

Well, even though I was worried, I am seeing results. My level is rising, and the savings I needed to pay off my debts were steadily building up.

We split the magic stone rewards between the two of us. Since I could defeat more than twice as much I can by myself, I didn’t mind. As for the spirit stones, Mia-san was understanding of my debts and gave me a much larger share.

I feel sorry for her, but this division is very helpful to me.

Just as we are about to return to the surface, a scream echoed through the dungeon. It was a man’s voice, but the situation reminded me of a certain person.

Mia-san muttered.

“……It’s like when I was with Parine.”

“No way….. right?”

Mia-san and I looked at each other and then we rushed out to help.

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

Chapter 53: Clash

Yume Neiji

Shortly after noon, Mary burst into the cottage, looking pale.

“Young Master, it’s bad!”

Mary’s face is very pale, and her body trembles slightly.

What happened?

Even if a robber comes, I think we’ll be fine because Upa is here, but…….

“What’s wrong?”

“We have a guest, Alexei-sama is at the auberge.”

“Alexei-oniisan!?”

“Yes. Sebastian, the head butler, and some knights are with him. What should we do?”

I calmed down Mary, who was so anxious.

“Don’t worry, I’m sure big brother just stopped by for something. Or maybe he is here to make sure I’m doing my job properly.”

I know.

I am well aware that he wasn’t that kind of big brother but I said so for Mary’s sake.

Anyway, we can’t just leave him there and wait. After all, the other party is my elder brother, Earl Dantes.

I quickly get dressed and then we headed to the auberge.

Without even much of a greeting, Alexei-oniisan, whom I met at the auberge, made a shocking proposal.

“…..So basically, you want me to sell this island for 10 million crown coins?”

“Don’t make me repeat myself. With that much, it would be enough to get you to school and not worry about the future, right?”

You’re kidding.

The transaction over those jar bottles and the operation of the auberge alone generate a net profit of more than 200,000 crowns a month.

There’s no way I can sell it for only 10 million crown coins.

Above all, Gandalcia is our island. My friends live here.

“No thanks. I’m the Lord of this place.”

“I’ll take care of the islanders. They can continue to work here as they have always done. You can just live in the Capital. Will all those money, shouldn’t you just live there happily? Anyways, enough talking. I’m saying this for your own good.”

Yeah, right.

Then why did you kick me out of the mansion that day?

Isn’t it just because this island is generating money now so you are trying to take it away by offering money?

I didn’t nod my head, so my brother raised the price.

“Alright then, I’ll give you 11 million crown coins, and with that much, you can rent an apartment in a convenient place in the Capital. What about the Crenton area? It’s a stylish place.”

Did he really think I’ll be deceived by such sweet words?

I want him to stop treating me like a child.

“Even if it’s 100 million, I won’t give it away. Please take your leave.”

When I said it clearly, my brother’s temples began to twitch.

“Cedie…… are you going to go against me?”

Even if Alexei-oniisan is the opponent, I can’t give in to this.

“I’m the Lord of Gandalcia, and that’s what is registered the country, right? Paul-oniisan told me. I also have the certificate in my hand.”

“Hmmph, I don’t care about that……”

He raised his hand, and the ten knights behind him took a step forward. However, in response, our manager also stepped forward to protect me.

“Whoa, whoa. What are you going to do? If you are really planning on laying your hands on our Lord, then……”

The knights are frightened by Upa’s pressure as he cracks his knuckles.

“That man is General Upa……”

Sebastian whispers in Alexei-oniisan’s ear.

“Why is the Grim Reaper of the Battlefield on an island like this…? Tch, never mind. Since you’re being stubborn, do as you like then. But from now on, you’re prohibited from doing any business within the Dantes territory. Doing business with the Londo Company is also forbidden!”

Even with Emma!?

“How tyrannical!”

“If you want to make a deal, go ahead and do it. In return, I’ll have Emma Londo go to jail.”

“….…”

It’s like holding Emma hostage.

I have no choice but to give up wholesaling bottled goods to Londo Company then.

“If you change your mind, let me know. See you later.”

Alexei-oniisan went home with his shoulders hunched in anger.

The auberge was full of islanders who had heard the commotion. Everyone has an anxious look on their faces.

“I’m sorry for disturbing you guys. It’s okay, I’m not going to sell this place.”

“That’s right. Young Master Cedie would never do that!”

Dawsill speaks up.

“You’re right. There’s no way Cedie would do that.”

Lulu’s smile returned on her face.

Everyone was satisfied and went back to their respective homes.

The only one who remained standing in front of me was Mio-san. She looked so pale.

“I’m sorry, I’m very sorry. I had no idea this was going to happen.”

“What do you mean?”

“I’ve always thought that Alexei-sama was worried about you, Cedie-sama.”

Mio-san then told me everything she had done so far.

“So, Mio-san was reporting the things going on this island on Alexei’s orders. Is that right?”

“That’s right. I…… he told me that he was worried about his brother.”

“In that case, don’t worry about it anymore. After all, Mio-san was also deceived by my older brother.”

Mio-san seems to feel responsible for this incident.

But even if Mio-san doesn’t report it, Alexei-oniisan will still manage to find out the secret of Gandalcia sooner or later.

“Hey, don’t cry anymore.”

“But you can’t do business with Emma anymore, right? What are you going to do now?”

“I’ll try to find a merchant in Lebon that will buy the bottled goods. It’s at Simpson’s territory so it won’t be a problem.”

I don’t think I’ll be able to sell a ton of bottled goods all at once, but it’s better than nothing.

Developing the island requires not only points, but also cash.

If I have time to whine, it’s more constructive to show up at Sambabano and ask for advice. Bigma is kind, so she may be able to help.

「 Status 」
Cedie Dantès: Level 4
Points: 52
Happiness: 51%
Island Level: 2

Oh my gosh, my happiness is frighteningly low!

In any case, the road ahead for me and Gandalcia seemed to be difficult.

　　　✲✲✲

Alexei was rocking in the carriage with a sullen face. But he doesn’t seem to be throwing tantrums as much as Sebastian, the head butler, worries about.

“It’s a pity.”

“What is?”

“Master was not able to buy Gandalcia, right?”

“Well, that’s okay. It’s not going to make much money anyway. And Cedie will probably come to me soon. Anyway, how’s the winery we bought?”

“It’s going well. This month’s sales have exceeded 3 million crown coins.”

At Sebastian’s reply, Alexei smiled contentedly.

“Good. We are going to focus on making wine for a while. Let’s increase the production from this year.”

“I understand.”

Alexei was delighted to have a new source of funding.

Chapter 52: It’s smooth sailing

Yume Neiji

Emma had come for a business meeting, so I first treated her to lunch. I wanted to thank her for coming all the way from a faraway place.

“I’ve heard rumors about this place even in Belucca. They all said that you guys served an incredibly delicious dinner. The details are not known, but they say the food is more than just delicious.”

I’m sure Paul-oniisan’s friends promoted it.

“It just so happened that I got some good ingredients, so we used it to entertain my brother and his friends.”

“Oh, so that’s what it was. But it doesn’t seem like you’re planning on making a profit from it.”

Emma looked around. Many of the customers who are eating at this time are merchants going on the highway and sailors who have finished fishing or work. This is because the price is reasonable at lunchtime.

During the day, it’s a fun restaurant that everyone can easily use, but at night, I want to serve a little elaborate food. That’s why I talked to Lynn and tried to divide the time and price ranges.

“It’s nice to have fancy food, but this pasta set is also good, and at this price, it even came with dessert. It’s no surprise that sailors come here by boat.”

At lunchtime, it gets so busy that it’s almost overwhelming. Even though she is a guest, Mio-san, who can’t stand seeing us so busy, helps out with serving the dishes.

I told her I can’t make her do that, but Mio-san is a very friendly person and she is also quick on her feet.

“Can I get hired here when I’m done with my current job?”

She even says things like that.

However, even if Mio-san expresses her desire to move here, my status board does not change. If she is going to live here, I think there should be some kind of change.

Emma, who drank the coffee after the meal, looked a little serious. Finally, the business negotiation is about to start. However, we are not completely strangers. We trusted each other, so it didn’t feel so formal.

“So, Cedie, can you show me the new product that you talked about?”

Today, we had Emma come to see the new preserved food made at the food processing plant.

I signaled to Cawsill, Dawsill, who were waiting in the corner of the room. Both of them are stiff with tension. It took a lot of trial and error to make it, so I wish they had more confidence.

Pushing the cart loaded with several kinds of bottles, two people with nervous faces came in. It’s a business meeting, so I want them to smile more.

“Excuse me, I’m Dawsill, the person in charge of the food processing plant!”

“I’m Cawsill!”

Uh-, don’t introduce yourselves like Char.

It is not very cute when the two of them imitate Char….

“I’m Emma Rondo. Pleasure to meet you guys.”

Emma shook hands with both of them with grace, but the tension between Dawsill and Cawsill increased even more.

In the future, I will have them get used to this kind of meeting.

“Let’s have Emma take a look at the products. Dawsill, open the sardines in oil first.”

I asked for a smaller amount of pasta for her so that she could try tasting them all. I put a lot of effort into making a lot of things this time, so I’ll make sure she eats a lot.

“This is sardines.”

“They’re marinated in sunflower oil from Gandalcia. They taste good too.”

“Mm, yes, it’s delicious.”

Emma took a bite then her face flushed.

“The advantage of this is that I can keep the price low, and it’s a lot cheaper than the duck confit I gave you before.”

“You can eat it as it is, or you can use it for cooking.”

The gluttonous Cawsill steps forward.

“It’s delicious even if you just soak the bread in the oil.”

“Sounds delicious, I think I’ll give it a try.”

Impressed by Emma’s response, Cawsill suggests ways to eat one after another.

“You can also put a clove of garlic and a piece of umeboshi into a jar and heat it in hot water. The meat will become soft when it’s warm, and the garlic and umeboshi will add flavor. However, you must remove the lid from the jar before heating it in hot water, otherwise it will explode.”

“This guy has made the kitchen greasy.”

Emma was laughing at the exchange between Cawsill and Dawsill.

She praised what they had made, and the tension between the two seemed to be completely relieved.

Next, I had her eat pickled vegetables.

Cucumbers, carrots, cauliflower, and celery are all vegetables that Char and I have painstakingly grown in our vegetable garden. It tastes good and is rich in vitamins, so it will help prevent scurvy among sailors.

Emma seemed satisfied.

Pineapple pickled in syrup and peaches pickled in syrup were also well received.

“They’re all great. How much do you have in stock?”

“There are 300 oil sardines and fruit in syrup, and about 200 large bottles of pickles.”

“I’ll buy them all. But there’s more than I thought huh.”

“It’s all thanks to the food processing plant. It is also because of the hard work of Dawsill and Cawsill.”

Emma then called out to Dawsill, who was puffing his chest out.

“Factory manager, would you like to give me a tour of the food processing plant?”

“…..Factory manager?”

“She’s talking about you, big brother!”

“Oh! O-Of course! I’ll show you around at any time.”

Dawsill and Cawsillstraightened their backs and walked forward.

　　　✲✲✲

After reading the report from Mio, Earl Dantès nodded slightly.

“I see, although it was small, Gandalcia Island seemed to have commercial value.”

He also found out why he couldn’t sell his preserved food to the Navy.

Cedie was making preserved food, and it was what they chose. There is also an excellent fishing ground in the area and it seems that rare plants grow on the island.

Sebastian, the housekeeper who knew the contents of the report, bowed his head, fearing that Alexei would explode in anger.

Alexei, however, ordered Sebastian in a calm voice.

“Tomorrow we are going to Gandalcia, get ready.”

“Yes. But, why though?”

“An elder brother is just going to see his younger brother, isn’t that strange?”

“T-that’s true, but….…”

Sebastian is unsure of Alexei’s intentions.

“It looks like a good island, and I’m going to buy it.”

“Ah? The Gandalcia Island?”

“What else is there? I can give him 10 million crown coins.”

“What will happen to Cedie-sama then?”

Alexei’s reply is perfunctory.

“If he has 10 million, he can get into a decent school, and after graduation, he can become a notary public or a lawyer. He can also talk to me if he wants to.”

Alexei was more concerned with the profits from Gandalcia than with the future of Cedie.

Isekai Nonbiri Sanpo Tabi

Walking, Chapter 64: Departure to the Eastern Frontier Margravate

Yume Neiji

Then, today is our departure for the Eastern Frontier Margravate.

On the morning, we cleaned the room at the inn we were renting with living magic. Even if I come back to the Southern Frontier territory, I won’t be able to stay at this inn anymore, so I’m kind of emotional.

When I left the room, I met the members who are also leaving the inn. Since everyone is graduating from this inn, it seems that there is something about it that is equally emotional.

“Oh, are you guys leaving?”

“Yes. Thank you very much for everything.”

““Thank you very much!”””

“Un. Take care!”

We were seen off by the shopkeeper as we left the inn.

I truly felt that I had met a good person.

After that, we all went to the guild and say our farewells.

“It’s a little lonely when the lively ones are gone.”

“But we’d like to come here again, so please look after us then.”

“Yeah, I’ll be waiting. Oh, I’ve written a letter to the Guild Master of the Eastern Frontier’s Adventurer Guild. When you get there, give it to him.”

“Yes, I’ll take care of it well. Thank you for your help in many ways.”

““Thank you for taking care of us.””

“Mm. Take care, you guys.”

We received a letter from the guild master at the reception, greeted each other, and then we left the guild.

“Let’s form a party again.”

“Okay. The next time we meet, I want to rank up with you guys.”

“Be careful on your way.”

“Yes. Take care, everyone. I’m grateful for all the help I’ve received.”

“See you soon.”

I said goodbye to the members who were with me at the inn here.

I’m very grateful that they said “see you soon”, not “goodbye”.

“Hey, I heard you’re leaving today.”

“Be careful on your way.”

“Here’s a farewell gift. Eat it on the way.”

“Thank you!”

We used the market a lot, so we are almost familiar with everyone. Some of them even gave us a farewell gift, so Shiro and Ao were waving at them cheerfully.

The people in this town are all really nice people, and it was a very comfortable place to spend time.

Then we arrived at the carriage stop.

There, the boy and the girl along with the old lady, who always goes with us when we collect medicinal herbs, were waiting for us.

“Thank you for coming to see us off.”

“No problem. You kids don’t have to worry about it, we are indebted to you guys after all.”

“The next time you guys come here, we’ll also graduate from beginner adventurers.”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

“Yes, Shiro is looking forward to it!”

After exchanging words with the old lady and the two kids, we boarded a carriage bound for the Eastern Frontier territory.

From here, it seems that we’ll have to change carriages several times.

“Bye-bye, see you soon!”

“See you soon!”

“Take care always!”

When the carriage departed, Shiro and Ao and I turned around and waved until the three of them were out of sight.

Now it’s time to set off for the Eastern Frontier Margravate!
