Because Janitor-san Is Not a Hero

48 - Port cities ①

Roughly ninety days from the duel with Hayat.

The calendar had changed from Yellow Moon to Zhu Moon.

The calendar of this world consists of the Ethereal Moon, the Yellow Moon, the Zhu Moon, and the White Moon, one hundred and one day each, with the first day as the "Birth Moon" and the last day as the "Hidden Moon".

"Hidden Moon" hits New Year's Eve in Japan and "Hidden Moon" hits New Year's Eve, but customs were different from country to country and region.

It's Zhu Moon's day now.

It can be said that the sense of the collector's calendar began on this day.

For God's sake, on the day of the Zhu Moon, for the first time on this day, I knew the calendar of this world.

While healing the wounds of the duel with Hayato, the zodiac travels west along the Allerduria Mountains with the snow white to reach Tansk, the central city of Dorgan.

So the keeper said that he was not to be bothered, and he did not even come near Tansk, but passed by, and went south from there.

Continue south beyond Tansk and you will see the Laurana region.

The map seems to show just the border between meadows and wilderness is the border between Laurana and Dorgan, where traces of decaying fortifications were seen as potpouts.

Regardless, there were also one or two villages that had the function of a fort, but the collectors still passed by.

Sixty days from Salehad to the border between this Dorgan and Laurana.

The collector had him on snow and white until his injuries healed, and since his injuries healed he had run on his own feet, but his body's cardiopulmonary ability, adapted to the alpine mountains, was high, knocking him far beyond the average hunter's speed of travel.

When you enter Laurana, almost one side becomes the meadow, and the pompous and woods appear.

The Zao Man and Snow White continued further south as they hunted and collected in the meadows and woods.

And finally we reach Rondelk, the capital of the United Kingdom of El Rodriana.

Turning it into the central city of the United Kingdom of El Rodriana, it is also the kingdom capital of Yue Righteous.

But the collectors naturally ignored it there as well, going further south.

Why ignore major cities?

At an unusual rate, without being witnessed, without leaving any trace, we reach our destination.

In the unlikely event that there is one who follows right after the treasurer, we will have to follow him from Salehad. But if there is no sign of a warcraft ride and it has not been witnessed in nearby cities or villages, it should be extremely difficult to find it.

It's likely to be waste, but rather than not do it, the Zodiac executed this forcible army.

If it is also arranged to be nominated by the Hunter Association or El Rodriana, it is nowhere to go, but the collectors have no reason to arrange to be nominated by El Rodriana.

Alice is the princess of the album. You won't be able to move the power of El Rodriana.

Even as Alice searches for collectors from the Hunter Association, the Hunter Association of El Rodriana is naturally deeply connected to El Rodriana, so the political power of the album is still difficult to reconcile.

It could also be via an association of albums, but that could give Hayato's enemies information, and Alice wouldn't do that.

If the album had its main hips, it wouldn't make sense such as the possessor's disguise, but it would be blocked in eight directions to think that far.

For the time being, all you have to do is worry about getting hit in the back right now, the possessor split.

Simply thinking about it, if I stopped by Tansk or Rondelk, I would say that I felt like I was in trouble and I just avoided it.

Where does the collector intend to go?

There was another Summoning Candidate besides Snow Mountain, which the Zodiac peered at.

It is a desert.

Either way, I can't be in the Allerduria Mountains.

I'd prefer a land without brave men, if possible.

The brave man seems to have been summoned in an album, so you'd better go to another continent. Then there must be few brave men.

That's what the collector thought.

Previously, the oozy map I received from Irida also painted a solid picture of the existence of another continent, where there seemed to be a vast desert.

This was delicious and the collector decided to go for it.

There was some concern about whether snow and white could live even in hot areas, but so far the journey has also passed through dry, hot areas, but no anomalies have been observed.

Rather than, it seems to be temperature-regulating with its own magic.

Snow White turned about two years old and grew up one more time.

It wasn't entirely the size of the category Snow Leopard, it was comparable to a tiger.

Nevertheless, not a gothic translation like a tiger, but like a snow leopard, his legs had grown short and smart.

The Momonga-like membrane between the anterior and posterior legs grew larger to suit the body, and the tail grew longer. And thicker.

In this forcible army he had the phantom of a black leopard wrapped around him just in case.

Incidentally, the collector had also changed his burnt brown hair, close to black, to a dull golden color with a phantom.

That is how the Zao went south to compete with Snow White and reached the port city of Oslon, which was his destination on this continent, leaving Salehad, approximately ninety days later at dusk.

By the way, needless to say, the collector never beat Snow White.

Oslon had stone walls soaring to surround the bay and the city.

Once again, the stone walls stained at dusk, and a faint tidal breeze stimulated the back of the collector's nose.

It smelled nostalgic.

Nor did the harbour streets of this world smell of tide have anything to do with their homeland.

I just couldn't let the collector and Snow White in the Oslon.

No, I didn't go in.

The gatekeeper refused to let me into the city even if I disguised myself as a black leopard with a phantom and showed her a dark green ring.

It's a decision, so I can't help it.

I could have kept it at Warcraft Stables, but it's already going to be sundown today. The collector stopped entering the city that day thinking that he couldn't do anything about it now.

That's why the collectors were forming under trees that grew near the city's stone walls and laying snow and white on their pillows.

- Guru?

I said I wasn't going to the city. Snow White sees the keeper that way.

"Not today. Tomorrow we'll have to find the ship."

The collector tickles the throat of the urchin and snow white.

- Ugh, but yeah.

After a sudden treasurer tickle, Snow White just says it's a counterattack, he wraps his growing and even longer tail around the treasurer, from which he strokes the treasurer's jaw, the tip of his nose, at the tip of his tail.

The collector laughs bitterly.

Now if I were on my knees, Snow White would be the queen.

"... what are you doing?"

In the voice of a husky woman with a sigh, the treasurer heard you.

Yo, and I can grab Snow White's soft tail and get it off my face.

"... Irida? You're showing off your breasts again."

Elida Bergin, a brown-skinned giant species with lion-like redhead, stood with her hands on her hips in the same red and black corset-shaped leather armor as before.

"That's what I haven't seen you say in a long time. Totally, if the association tells me there's a strange hunter waiting outside the gate with a warcraft... you've never seen one before."

To be precise, the gatekeeper contacted the association and asked if Irida, who happened to be in the association, would take a look at it for a moment.

"Snow white. Probably a big black leopard. You're smart, you talk, you get through."

Elida saw the snow white with her.

Snow White is faint with his face.

"Big black leopard. Hey, that's okay. So, why did you do that and stay here? Why don't we just get into the city?"

"It's already sundown, isn't it? I can't find a ship, so I can't help getting into the city. So even in camp, I thought. This hair, well, it's a mood change."

"Ship?... Oh, wait a minute already"

So Elida turned back to the gate and went into the city.

Elida is back.

He hangs a barrel of liquor in his hand.

The sun was already completely hidden, and the three moons of Zhu were floating in the night sky.

"I have reported no anomalies to the gatekeepers and associations. Now you can listen to me slowly. Ready?"

Nick laughs and puts up a liquor barrel and a glass.

The Zao Man and Snow White looked at each other and nodded bitterly.

Irida sits somewhere opposite the collector.

"You're the same."

"So are you."

That's how Elida scrapes the liquor directly from the barrel in a glass.

The sawdust made one bowl and gave it to Elida.

Irida didn't say anything in particular, either, and she shrugged the liquor in the bowl she was given.

When the collector who received the bowl puts it in front of the snow white, Snow White smells kun and liquor and looks somewhere happy.

"... Ikel's?

"Far stronger than me."

Irida looks happy when she hears that.

"To the goddess of the moon, give thanks for the reunion, cheers"

It is the unique toast of the hunters.

Two and one list the cup and bowl slightly towards the moon.

Snow and white are tails, of course.

As far as the collectors know, it was not customary in this country to bump a cup and ring.

The treasurer, Elida, and Snow White drinks.

"And now you look like a hunter."

Elida says as she looks at the collector from top to bottom.

Dark grey curly corner large lizard (barobasili) leather armor, giant gloves, old ice warrior round shield, three-sword antler (aromeri) kukri knife and boomerang, demon gun on hips, leather trousers on left leg with several wood test tubes on leather belt and knife on right leg.

It looks like a hunter, unlike the work clothes and leather tops and bottoms from the beginning.

It would be weirder if I were trying to hunter up and down in work clothes and leather.

The hipster demon gun was a good way to secure Erica's triple demon gun, which Snow White couldn't move with poison at that time. They were going to strengthen the collector, like they did when the Ice Warrior shield, and when they gave him the demon gun just to put on a doya face and tell him to use it, the collector could only laugh bitterly.

Whenever I get scratched from now on, I wonder if you're going to do something about the chase away. For taking it away from Erica, all I'm willing to say is that you did well.

"This armor helped me a lot. Thanks."

"Atashi just took the skin to the craftsman. The money... Maxime gave it to me. Oh, shit, if he pays, he should have plugged it."

The second half was just a tone that was unpleasant to say.

What has happened in the past? Though I wasn't a collector to ask.

"And I can't believe you even gave me the giant gloves you even tweaked for race, even if you gripped them for weakness, or how much you liked them...... which one?

The zodiac laughs with his hun and nose.

"I wonder which. Knock it off."

Both, if you insist.

Though the collector himself thinks it is close to gripping the weakness.

"... hehe, that feels good"

Irida laughed delightfully, even if she was half speaking, guessing from the character of the collector.

"So, if you suddenly think it's gone, show up here. What the hell happened? Oh, you don't have to want to tell me."

The last day after he disappeared behind the cave with the brave man, Elida and the Caveman have not met.

Therefore Elida did not know the circumstances of the treasurer and the brave man.

Behind the Alerduria Mountains was an untouched land of the predecessors, and in that sense Salehad was considered one of the cities on the northern tip of the continent. However, it was not as cold as I would imagine when it came to the northern end, as it is said that the back of the Allerduria Mountains is as large as the Dorgan region.

And Oslon is located facing the sea on that diagonal line.

Well, there's a lot going on.

The collector takes the meat out of the food backpack, shakes the salt and pepper, and then, as usual, stabs it in a pile of dirt and begins to broil it with the embodied fire sperm.

The collector learned.

If we don't make some allies, we'll pack them someday.

Before you became human disbelief or you missed people, that was the fact.

No matter how far you lived from people, it's possible that an encounter of surprise, and it's not always possible that Orphea or Maxime will cover you up.

But it wasn't easy to talk to.

Because there is a risk that you will get caught up in the situation while also giving them more credit.

In that sense, Irida may be trustworthy in all respects, but she still couldn't pretend to be a collector.

"Right. So, you know the rumor about the brave man in the album?

Elida doesn't try to overhear, she tells another story.

At that time, the collectors tried to escape the association and left, and Erika and Hayato had proposed a joint hunt, but Irida had refused.

There were only two Ericas and Hayato hunting for the Six Tumors Buffalo (Gorshazo), so it was only natural to say no.

Six Tumors Buffalo (Gorshazo) lives in herds and never abandons his companions at all times. Originally, it's a prey to share roles and hunt on a ten-man basis.

It would have been a small hunt for Hayato if he was confident in his own power, but Elida was unwilling to hunt for such personal power.

Because any other hunter would be fine if hunting were to be completed individually.

At that time, I was also concerned about my relationship with the caveman who had left to flee Hayat, but I guess there was some certainty from what happened in the cave that I could deduce to a degree.

But that didn't matter to Elida.

A race like this worldless, hunter-like, chirpy, ill-made brother who doesn't know what he's thinking, couldn't let go strangely. That's all.

"No, you don't. I barely stopped by the city."

"He said he hadn't stopped by the city to get here... oh, you still don't know how. Rondelk was surprised by the rumors, but I don't know if I should stop by the city."

"You stopped by Rondelk?

"... Normally, coming to Oslon is the shortest distance from Salehad in a Warcraft car. I'll switch in Rondelk then, but if it's not up to the city, what the hell kind of road have you come down? Aren't you starting to look like Maxime? You don't think anything's gonna work out with your muscles anymore, do you?

Indeed, Maxeem was half-naked from Salehad to Rondelk.

The collector looks amazing and disgusting.

Elida laughed and spoke of the rumors of the brave man.

At this time, the collector found out that today was the day of the Zhu Moon, but anyway, here's what Elida told him, the rumor.

When the brave man returned from the judgment of fact, he was imprisoned without trial, he said.

To be precise, a fellow brave man, the daughter of a former assassin was imprisoned in the prison of a brave man said to be in the cold desert, while another brave man, Erica, was also imprisoned in the prison of Albaum.

And more importantly, Hayato, the brave man, went to jail himself, so the temporary album became noisy.

The daughter of the former assassin went to jail to atone for her crimes when she was an assassin, and Erica seemed to have been imprisoned for using the name of a brave party for a long time to do something forceful and that complaints and damage had gone up in the album, meaning to chill her head.

"Is prison in Albaum comfortable?

The collector jokes.

"Is there a comfortable prison? Well, he's a brave man, so he'll be treated pretty well, but no matter how many albums he says he's a big country, prison is terrible. Well, you're not going to die, you're not going to get sick enough."

Will Erica be a little cold with this, too?

But the caveman thinks the prison of the brave can be inferred.

The Japanese run it anyway. However, it won't be the same as Japan because it won't use locals.

It would have been better for the collectors to have a regular prison if it hadn't been for keeping them locked up permanently.

And here's an interesting story, how Alice Kingston was sent to Orphea to train for The Goddess of the Moon (Maruna Nyum).

Although it was due while Hayato was away, it was rumored that the king's indulgence bag had finally expired at the end of Alice's too much time, and he was deposited with an orpheus he had known for a long time before his bridesmaid's training to almost kick him out.

Orphia's grooming and training is so much so that the women of The Goddess of the Moon (Maruna Nhum) tremble, even if it is just a story. It would be just the right punishment for Alice.

I can only be convinced that the collector would be like that.

Very, very, very angry though.

Even if Alice is punished, I can only weep because the crime itself cannot be established without a keeper who is the victim.

In the current collector's position, brave men can't even stand trial.

I have a hunter's tag and a deep green ring so I can live without any problems as a normal hunter.

Hunter's immigration screening is not so rigorous, and although citizenship is not the only option, treatment is not so different from that of the locals, even when it comes to trial.

However, the minute was too bad for a brave man against him.

That is true of each other in a way, but if they were known to be summoners in public, the collectors themselves, did not know what would happen.

The collector didn't feel like trying it until he bothered to risk it.

"Nevertheless, Hayato Ichihara, the brave man, will come out between us."

Hayat is the mightiest brave man, the seizure of the other brave men, and the breakwater of the other brave men. When Hayato disappeared completely from the surface stage, there was supposedly a great deal of confusion, and the album with the most brave wanted to avoid it.

When Hayato disappeared from the surface stage, first of all in some countries the brave men were treated like slaves, and worse, they could also be killed.

Until now, if anything were to happen to the other brave men, because Hayato moves to do something physically, as a result, the album and Sandra religion would also raise their heavy hips, and those who give a little bit to the other brave men would be rewarded accordingly.

And on the other hand, other brave men were not too physically violent because there was also a hold on Hayat.

At one point, he said to the brave men who were too badly behaved, that since Hayat physically imposed sanctions, no other brave men had acted flashy either.

It means that it is difficult for Hayato to disappear from the surface stage, so the general lowered his head. But he was told that he would pick up Hayato.

"I see. By the way, what do you call a brave man now?

He cupped silently, as Elida was frightened, and shrugged the liquor out of the barrel again.

"Are you... oh, no more"

Irida explains it disciplinarily even though she says so.

"A brave man can vary from country to country, to say the least."

"... hey"

"Heh heh, that's actually it. Well, El Rodriana has a lot of borders, and the goddess' faith is quite strong, except for Albaum and Proven. Most of the Sandra followers are there, so Mido, said to be the Son of the Sun, was the first brave man, and there is talk of crusading the Demon King. The power not tied to the magic rules that Mido was born with is called protection, and that is also a testament to the brave. Well, it was thousands of years ago, like a myth."

"There's no such thing as a demon king..."

"It's a fairy tale. Well, if you mean Monster the Demon King (Monster), it seems possible. The rest is limited to a brave man named Hayato, but it sounds like Spiritualism has a lot of support and is trying to make contact. Explain it because you don't know it anyway, but Spiritualism is a religion that has exploded since the magic revolution two hundred years ago. Before the magic revolution, it was a small religion on the border, but now it's Sandra religion, religion on a scale second to the faith of the goddess of the moon. Well, only on this continent."

A bowl is served well in front of Elida.

Snow white.

When Elida received the bowl without looking cowardly, she shrugged the liquor from the barrel.

"Well, that's the rumor. So, where are you going? He said something about the ship."

Pass the bowl to Snow White, and Elida asks the collector.

The collector finally thinly sliced the cooked meat off with a knife and handed the remaining uncut chunks straight to Snow White.

Of course I won't forget to give Snow White one burnt in good shape.

Snow and white were cockroaches before booze and meat, and no more.

The treasurer sliced the thinly sliced meat into a plate of dirt like a mountain, and the yellow fruit of the goddess' whim (Eganadia), which he harvested and kept during the time he came here, was cut and served for ease of squeezing.

"I think I can squeeze the fruit juice as it is"

That being said, the possessor puts the plate between them and answers Elida's question.

I thought I'd take the boat to the desert.

Elida first pinched the meat that remained thinly sliced, then squeezed the yellow fruit, or sour fruit juice, into the meat and ate it.

"That's pretty refreshing. It's desert on a boat, and I don't know about people, but it's a lot of plans."

The liquor the collectors are swallowing is almost like red wine, but the alcohol content is high whether there is any distilled liquor mixed.

The tannic, intense red wine went hand in hand with this fatty meat.

"Somehow. I've wanted to go for a long time. Is Elida still on patrol duty?

Pinch a pile of meat with a puff, liquor filled Irida.

"Muggle. We're going to end up in one more country, I've been thinking about where we're going. We can go to most places here."

"I see."

"Than that..."

In that way, the two of them and one of them stayed up for more nights under the juicy three-day moon that faintly illuminated the night and darkness.
