Breakthrough with the Forbidden Master

Episode 338: Dropped Things

"Oniichan?

"Oniisan, what's wrong?

Today, I have to go back to the future. I've decided to go home.

Although the chief is an elf, he is likely to be familiar with many things about the world, such as writing novels in the earth world, so I think that if we discuss with Espi and Slaya, they will do something about the land.

But I need you to discuss it with Slaya...

"... Espi... Slaya..."

What, oniichan?

I have to leave these two behind. More than a dozen years.

How do you communicate that?

How are you going to convince me?

We won't be seeing each other for more than a dozen years now....

"So, oniisan. Where do you think you're buying land?

"Hmm? Ah, ahh..."

I can't think of a word. But I don't have time.

We need to move fast to reach Shisonotami.

I mean....

"Er... Sisonotami... the mountainous area beyond here seems to be the territory of the Kingdom of Japone, and some of the mountains are individually owned and sold... or bought there..."

"... Japone... cross Shisonotami? No, no, oniisan. As many as you want, it's hard to get there without noticing."

"... eh?

In the first place, there is also the problem that the chiefs cannot get there.

I see. Once you're out of the woods and into the plains, you can't get there.

There are fewer than a hundred elves in the settlement, and it is highly likely that they will be found if they move to the boulders.

"Hey, Ralwyev, can we get there with your warp?

"No... elementary school students are that far away..."

There's nothing wrong with me, Espi, and Slaya. But then, "Well then, the elves will be abandoned", which is too bad for sleep.

Even if I go back to the future today and betray my precious sister and disciple, at least that won't be solved....

"Ha... my goodness... I'm glad I could use the 'transporter' to Sisonottami... I have to get out of there again, but if I could get to Sisonottami, it would be the warp distance from there..."

"... what?

"... what?

"No, it's nothing, oniisan. Self talk."

At that time, Traina reacted to the unclear words spoken by the chief.

Transfer device...? The device...?

…… Hey, Chieftain... Transfer Soach? What are you talking about? A kind of magic?

"Huh? Oh, that's enough. It's a device. A device. As a matter of fact... there are transporters scattered all over the world with Sisonotami technology, and with them, we can move them all the way to Sisonotami at once."

"Hmm!?

"Well, to tell you the truth, I just realized that the device is nearby. I can't use it."

Trayna seemed to care, so when I asked her instead, Sarari and the chief told me something terrible.

Not magic, but technology? Why would you do that?

I don't know. Elementary students... the Demon King Army destroyed the magic city Sisonotami and investigated it afterwards, but have you ever heard of such a thing in that land?

"Ah, well... that's the lower part... because the Demon King Army was destroyed by the city of Sisonotami and some underground facilities... and even more so, the lower area was strictly closed..."

"Nah, what?

I've heard that before.

But Trayna couldn't get there, and only some of the Demon Kings knew about it.

One of them is Yamidiré. The technique of sleeping in the depths...

And the other one.....

"Sorry, sorry. Forget this story. And anyway, this story doesn't make any sense."

"What do you mean?

"As a matter of fact, the technology that sleeps deep inside... and I need the key to use that transporter. The key will take us all the way from a nearby transporter to the deepest part of Sisonotami... but without the key, we'll have to."

"Then where are the keys and what are they?

"Nh... I actually dropped it somewhere... no, really... well, I didn't think I needed it anymore, so... hah, I guess I should have looked for it more now..."

Keys?

Children......

"Ah, ahh...."

The chief said the key.....

"Hey, you. I don't know about that... before you met us? We found you wandering through the woods without a place to go..."

"Hmm? No, I actually lost the key recently. When I slipped my feet and fell into the river..."

"Eh!? Did you fall in the river? I didn't hear you!

"No, I didn't want to be forced to marry at that time, while I was running away....."

Something happened suddenly... or was the chief not originally born in that settlement?

And how did the chief know so much about Sisonotami?

No, before that, the key....

"Hey, chief. Is that... this it?

I took it out of my pocket.

Another person who knows about Shisonotami besides Traina and Yamidiré.

I got it from Parippi....

"Oh, yeah. That's the master key, not just the entrance to the deepest part of the ruins, but the activation of the deepest device...?

At that moment, the time of chieftaincy was as if it had stopped.

But a few seconds later....

"Eh... eheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheh!!? Master key!? No, why!? And that... oh, that's the one I dropped in the river and washed away!? Why does oniisan have it!? Oniisan picked it up!?

"I, no... I got it from someone I know..."

The chief rushed over with his mouth wide open and screaming, as if his jaw had come off.

No way....

- I picked it up. No, this is serious. Really no lies, Hundred Par. I picked it up by accident.

Did you really just pick up the palippi?! And this belongs to the chief?

"Ha, haha... is this a coincidence or a destiny..."

It was the surviving Six Heights palippi who picked up the master key that the chief dropped, and he handed it to me in a future of more than a decade, and the drops crossed the time... but aside from that, one thing that bothered me was...

"Now... who is this guy... in the first place? Even if I subtract all my powers and abilities... it's not a normal elf."

Yes. Who is the chief?
