Breakthrough with the Forbidden Master

Episode 50: Fundraising

Until quite late I played Go with Aka and went to sleep if I noticed, and it was instantly morning. But she is not short of sleeping. As expected, yesterday there were too many things. Fight with Rival. Break up with fathers and empires. And Aka who met.

"Earth ... As I said briefly, if you go straight from here, you will go out to the river. Then go straight along the river toward the mountain and you will reach the city."

A strange, sleepy Aka who has changed from me. Maybe it's my first time playing late. The sleepy auger was interesting and I laughed. However, while rubbing his sleepy eyes, I feel lonely somewhere ...

"Earth isn't going ...?"

Well, go. If you don't address it separately, there's still no clear destination. But for the time being, I wanted to get out of Empire Territory. Even today yesterday, I was chased by extra things. Although……

"Oh, Aka-san. Do you have anything you want in the city?" "Eh?" "I'll buy something before I leave. I really took care of Aka-san."

I can't go on forever, but I'm sorry that I couldn't do anything to thank Aka for her care. And Aka-san seems to be hard to go to human town, so I asked if there was something I wanted there. Then, Aka-san ... why are your eyes moist?

"Earth, it's a really good guy, I'm glad you're out."

At this time, I saw "tears in the eyes of a real demon" for the first time in my life.

"It's exaggerated. Anything is fine?-Books, furniture, anything ..."

I'll buy anything. After saying, Aka-san was a little worried ...

"I want to eat a cake ..." "........."

Aka who doesn't know the joke only tells the truth. So this is not a gag. That's true.

"It's a human-made cake, I've never eaten. If I can make it, humans may be interested in it, so try eating it first."

You can laugh and cry a little, but don't put it on your face. Well, Aka is really pure.

"Wow. Well then, once I went to town, I was preparing for various trips, and then I bought a cake and stopped here again."

"What!"

Nod to my words, Aka made a piece. No, have you liked it already? It looks like it's just a sign between us, but it's OK. I smiled and returned the piece to Aka.

And I forgot something important.

I didn't have a penny in the first place.

"Hunter registration? Young, but a warrior graduated from the academy?" "Well, no ... I didn't graduate? ... I quit ..." "If you haven't graduated yet, you can register for free If that's okay, don't issue an ID card. "

When I arrived at the town, I was penniless and headed to the guild, which was a hunting place for hunters along with a tavern in the town, to be a hunter if I could earn quick money. If you go to a guild that can be called an employment security office in any of the larger cities, there should be a way to make money.

But if I haven't graduated from the academy yet, I can't be a regular hunter who can receive national support as an imperial warrior, only a free day hunter who manages everything by himself without such things I realized I couldn't.

That said, I thought it would be fine, but I knew that becoming a free hunter also required an "identity card", and I dropped.

"Ah, what's going on ?? I could do another dishwashing, if I could introduce something without registering ..."

"That's no good, because both national warriors and free guilds offer jobs to registered hunters."

"Guh ... really ..."

"Hey, show your ID."

I haven't had such a thing now. Even if it were, that information would reach the Imperial City when I was registered. If "Earth Lagann" is registered as a matter of fact, it's just a matter of my location. I mean, if I don't like that, I can't even be a hunter.

"Well, if this happens ... don't mediate the guild and look directly for someone in need ..." "Stop it"

At the guild reception, someone stood behind me, who was calling me. Looking back, there was a man with a pretty face in his twenties, with long black hair tied behind his head.

"Hunters, which are said to be synonymous with freedom, also have rules. Those who violate those rules. For example, those who do" dark business "are hated."

Not just one person was standing.

"That's right. Don't stop the black business because of the money." "Dark business is no good." "Some anti-state employers are among them. Dark business is no good."

About ten men, the kind of atmosphere that everyone wears was a little different from ordinary people.

"Well, if you don't want to register, will you come along? We came to find a job."

Certainly, I was afraid to be bothered here and bother behind me, and I dropped back quickly.

"Free hunter team. I'm Fuma, the leader.

"Okay"

Eventually, the guild receptionist also moved the story from me to an uncle from behind. I guessed it wouldn't be good to stick, and decided to give up and leave.

"Yeah ... make money by getting rid of monsters and villains. It's like an adventure, but I can't even ..."

"On a trip, I wouldn't even be a hunter, a staple of fundraising ... it was unexpected."

"Is it your identity?

"It's difficult. As it is… can't we buy books? 』

Returning from the guild, I drooped down the streets of the city.

Here is the town at the foot of the mountain, “Hon Evo”. Surrounded by abundant nature, it is like a stopover between the other side of the mountain and the Imperial capital.

As a result, the culture and people of other countries are mixed, and although not as large as the Imperial capital, it is thriving and vibrant.

Apparently, I still don't know me. And, as Aka-san said, we're also doing some small events all over the city right now. that is……

"Yes, there was a game. In the 136th move, Insei-kun won by pushing inside!"

"" "Wow ah ah ah !!!!"

Hundreds of people gathered in a square located in the center of the city, and many desks and chairs were lined up. There were many children facing each other with serious expressions, and last night I and Aka played the go-go game, which I had many times.

"Hmm?い Hey, kid …… that ’s… ”“ Oh, Aka-san was saying.

There was a flag standing on the square, which read "The 15th Sister City Exchange Children's Go Tournament." There are a lot of children who are younger than me and still do not seem to be ten years old, but everyone has a serious expression, and parents around the children watching the children in a very harsh manner I was watching over them.

"Well, it wasn't the case before the war, but here's where Go is thriving."

"Hmm? Oh yeah. This is a transit point between the Imperial City and other lands, and people from other countries are also coming in. Even though their races and cultures are different, they get along well through the common board game of human beings, Go. Is there something like that? "

"HM……"

"And I've heard that this city is a sister city to the" Onomic city "of" Japone kingdom ", the country where the game of Go was born, and there's a relationship like that."

"Oh ... I see ... I'm detailed

"That's true, it's a test of history .... When I was a kid, people from that country came and had a party at the Imperial City and met some people."

I'm not really interested in Go itself. I've never played with Saddis, and I'm not seriously fond or strong. Well, Mr. Aka was too weak, so I was careful yesterday ...

"Trainer. Do you know Go?"

"Everything you know, even demons are popular with Go"

"Well, is that so?"

"Of course not. In the first place, Go is a game with a history of more than 1,000 years. I used to be called "The Demon King's Hand". "

"No ... well, if the Demon King strikes, whatever would be the Demon King's hand."

“…… No, well …… but ……”

That trainer can play Go. Maybe strong. That's not what it is right now. It's money, money. You can't buy travel money or even cakes. I don't want to disappoint Aka who is looking forward to it and how to collect money somehow ...

"By the way, a child. Do you know Japone kingdom well? "What? Suddenly ... Well, as I said earlier, it was a history test, and to some extent." "So, do you know about the" Warriors "of the Kingdom of Japone? 』

As I was thinking about gold, Trenta asked suddenly. A warrior in the Kingdom of Japone?な い I don't know the intent of the question, but if you ask if you know ...

"Sure, it's a swordsman like" Samurai "? If the Empire has an Imperial Knight, the other side was called" Kingdom Samurai ", but do you know about that?

"Um ... then do you know anything else? 』

"Eh ...? Hunter like the empire ... mage-like?"

"Um. Anything else? 』

"Others?"

e? other than that?何 か Is there anything else? Something there

"Great, this is my 20th consecutive win!"

"That girl, it's amazing!"

At that time, a loud voice was heard a little away from the square. When I looked back, I saw dozens of uncles gathering around something. And when you look inside, there is a girl sitting over the wall. One uncle by the side. And there was a desk and a go board in front of the girl.

"Well, are there any other challengers? If you win" Sineob Stoke ", a 15-year-old from Japone, you will receive a prize!-Now, are there any more challengers?"

The old man beside the girl shouted loudly. And the girl in question. Straight long black hair. He has a pretty face, but his expression is like a doll. It looks like I was fifteen, but it's a very unusual outfit. Her shoulders are exposed in light black clothes, her left leg is exposed by a skirt with cuts on her sides, and she wears socks that extend above her knees. Something seems to move. Even skin is white! Something is unhealthy, it's as white as snow. The chest is also pretty big. 15 years old like me? Well, is the princess a little bigger? ...... I mean, a cut in the skirt! Well, I think you can see it if you are not good…

"Hey, Kouga. It's enough."

At that time, although the expression remained blank, the woman abandoned her older man than she could.

"I know the level of the empire's Go. I've killed time and earned money, but the path hasn't sprouted."

"Young lady ..."

"Rather, you know, my breasts are big, right? Because I'm getting more sexy with my outfit, I can't stand it because my nasty gaze is nauseating. Now, let's join my older brother. I hope we find a quest that shines every day. ''

It's as if they were looking down at the swarming uncles or the Empire. That's a huge breast ... but it's a bigger one, but more than a princess ... what if she's compared to sadis ... However, even if she is told whether that woman is strong, no one who is gathering will try. Then then ...

"Huh ... will you get a prize ..."

The eye of the Great Demon King, beside me, glowed suspiciously.
