A Boy Raised by Gods, Will Be the Strongest

Departure from Kukuriko Village.

When you return to the main road, go north.

"Where is the city of Northwood with Karen's mansion?"

Luna Maria shakes her head.

"I don't know. I'm blind and don't carry a map."

"I see, then-

She sees Karen's face, but she's also nervous. Her daughter is not good at geography.

Ask a merchant who walks on the highway as it can't be helped.

A middle-aged merchant was willing to teach.

"If you continue straight ahead, you will arrive tomorrow, even on the feet of a woman."

Karen is a bit sick of the word woman's feet, but in fact she is still slow.

I thank the merchant.

"Thank you, kindly"

When he bows down, the merchant

"It's a polite boy now. Are you traveling with your sister and sister?

"

Give me the word

Apparently they think we are brothers and sisters.

Is Luna Maria your sister and Karen your sister?

Certainly, Karen is so angry that she thinks it's reasonable to think so.

"I'm sorry. Will and I are not siblings. We are fiancee."

Claims that the merchant is no longer there.

Seems to complain to me.

I wondered when Karen and I were engaged, but when I disputed it, it was going to be long.

As the merchant says, find a milestone on the way. The stone was a few kilometers from Northwood.

If you do a forced march as it is, you will arrive tonight, but I did not want to force the women, so I will stay at the post town.

Then stay overnight for the next morning and enter Northwood.

"Is this the city of Northwood?"

Overlooking the city surrounded by the walls.

It is very unusual because there were no walls in Kukuriko village or post town. Of course, not at Table Mountain.

"Hey, is this a wall? It's all around. Is it to protect the city?"

"Yes, that's right. This wall has been protecting this city for a long time."

It is Karen, a resident of this city, who explains.

"Not only that, it also serves to collect taxes from those doing business in the city."

And finger.

Certainly, there is a guard at the entrance of the gate, confirming the bill of passage with the merchant who has the goods.

"If there are no tolls, you will not be allowed to enter the city, and you will be charged taxes on issuance of the toll."

"I see, that's how we collect taxes .-- But we don't have any bills of passage."

"It is okay"

Said Karen, taking out the bill from his pocket.

"Then, this is a special bill issued by the lord of this city. Not only this city, but any city in this country is acceptable."

"Karen's parents have great power."

The word is true, and half of the places I passed from earlier have the logo of Anaheim Shokai.

After all she seems to be the daughter of the city's best firm.

In fact, the gatekeeper was kind and polite when he knew that Karen was the daughter of Anaheim's house.

You are not inspected for belongings like other passers-by. Almost a face pass.

"As expected it is Anaheim Shokai."

Luna Maria also sighs.

In the town where he arrived on the way to Table Mountain, he seemed to have been touched by a helping guard.

When she felt compassionate that such a discipline or malpractice would be a difficult journey for a woman alone, she passed the Northwood gate.

Karen's family home, Anaheim, is located on the main street in the heart of Northwood.

Right next to the city hall, there is a towering building that stands out more than the city hall. Many merchants were coming and going without hesitation.

Of course, Karen wonders if he's going there, and goes through it.

He explains that he has a strange face.

"This is my father's workplace. He has been disciplined since childhood to stay out of the way."

"I don't think there's a need. Even Karen's dad would want to know her daughter's safety."

"I'm OK. I'm at home now."

Looking at the big clock in the city hall, it is 9 am. This time he seems to be still at home.

"It's my father's style to wake up to morning coffee and head gracefully to the firm."

Say When asked if he was a so-called executive, he agrees.

We follow silently behind Karen and head for a corner, slightly off the main street.

Buildings of large site increase. It looks like a luxury residential area in Northwood.

Among them, the largest building was Karen's home.

When she sees her parents' house, the shadow that comes out of the gate.

"Lady!!"

And a middle-aged man who is changing his blood.

His name is Johan.

It's like the Anaheim Butler.

"Oh, Johan, it's been a long time."

Karen smiles, but Johan can't afford it.

"I'm worried, young lady."

"Please go to your neighbor town."

"I've lost my news and I've been unable to use it. What happened?"

"Oh, yes, I couldn't fulfill my father's messengers."

He finally put his tongue out, but Johan did not get angry.

"That's okay, if the young lady is safe."

Butler sighs.

She seems really worried.

He was relieved, but looked suspicious when he saw an unfamiliar boy and shrine maiden beside the beloved lady.

"--Who are these people?"

"This is the benefactor who saved the lives of me and the lord."

"What a young lady !? Or rather, what was the young lady?"

Karen explains this to the butler who changes his blood again.

"--In other words, the Gard firms attacked the lady and had them save them."

"To be precise, Will alone was warrior."

Adds Karen, but Luna Maria doesn't look so bad.

Rather, I'm proud that I was praised.

For the time being, the butler who understands the situation relaxes his expression, but cleverly, bows deeply to me.

"I understand the child, you are the benefactor of the young lady. The benefactor of the young lady is none other than the benefactor of this Johann, but of the Anaheim family."

Butler bows down as he rubs his forehead on the ground.

She seems to be glad that she saved her so much.

"I'm just reporting to my husband that she's safe. My husband will be very pleased."

That will guide us to the mansion.

After passing between the guests, she is often parted by Karen.

He told his father that he was safe, and he wants to treat him with an embarrassment.

She smiled with a smile,

"I'll give you hospitality throughout the Anaheim family. Be prepared."

He said with patience.

What is the hospitality of the best merchants in Northwood?

I waited halfway with curiosity and half fear.
