I Kinda Came to Another World, but Where’s the Way Home?

Nostalgia - although not as long ago, the first Luxhide kingdom in roughly a week seemed a little, less lively.

Well, it may be an illusion... but somehow, it's an atmosphere where emotions like confusion or confusion are swirling. Especially the look on the faces of the adventurers walking in the city doesn't seem to float a bit. Well, the adventurers who saw me were either stunned in a different way, or they've looked disgusted like more trouble, so maybe something happened in this country. It's also adventure-centric.

Apparently, my name, or the street name "tough", is widespread among adventurers, which is somewhat inferred from the way the adventurers were in Zigvelia. Perhaps my appearance and its features are widespread, and what can I say for myself... I'm quite a standout outfit, aren't I?

I don't see a lot of learning runs in this world, and I've come with different iridescent colors (odd eyes) with both eyes, plus people who fight with the power of the Demons. It's roughly out of the ordinary.

Nevertheless, since I've come to this country where something has happened, which can also be called a heretic child of an adventurer, I guess I can't help but think that it's not going to be a busy thing at least. But I'm a little dissapointed, it's not like the brave guys have come, so I don't think you have to look so blatantly disgusted.

"Is something wrong?

"Come on, let's just go ask Sole"

"?... where is it?

To Lulu's words, I looked in a certain direction without answering directly. Lulu and Finia followed my gaze and saw it.

Yes, the largest building in this country - it's a castle.

If you haven't seen the princess and sisters in a week, you'll be familiar with the state of affairs in this country. Let's just say the reunion says hello and goes to hear it. Oh, I have to make sure I don't see Iris, the second princess. Whether you like it or not, I'm sorry to be the subject of that torture hobby.

Let's try to explain Sole to Lulu and Finia, too, on the way to the castle.

◇ ◇ ◇

Well, I walked a while to the castle gate. The gatekeeper is a soldier I've never seen. As an adventurer, I'm H-ranked, so I'm worried you can let me in. I busted the gatekeeper last time and forced him through, so he's extra alert. That's right. Well, let's think Alicia and the others are doing something about that area.

In the meantime, I'll talk to him.

"Um, a little good?

"Mm... who are you?

"Alicia...... er, I know a third princess, would you let me through?

"What?... take confirmation, what's your name?

"Tough."

When they asked him his name, he answered, and the gatekeeper's soldier called other soldiers, and after asking him to represent him, he left for the castle. Apparently, she went to see if I really knew Alicia. You have to wait a while - I'm a little free in the meantime.

And thinking about it, Lulu and Finia looked at me with some surprise. I wonder what's going on, and I ask her as she tilts her neck.

"What?"

"Tight, did you just say Third Princess? You know the princess?

Oh, is that the cause of that look? Lulu looked the same and shook his head vertically with momentum as he turned his gaze. In the meantime, I answered the question with my gaze slightly upward. The castle in sight stood as gorgeous as before.

"Oh...... yeah, even the 1st and 2nd princesses are familiar with each other for once. I don't have a good relationship with the second princess."

"Hmmm...... haha! You bitch!"

"Different vices than usual. Thanks"

Apparently, although she was surprised to know the princess, Finia decided it wasn't a big deal, unlike Lulu, who still couldn't hide her surprise. Well, she's like half a different world, so maybe she's indifferent to things like power and status.

You're a fairy in the first place.

Then the earlier soldiers returned. There is a slight rush on my face, not to mention how serious I am about my work earlier. I don't know if Alicia told you anything, but apparently she didn't tell me I didn't know her.

"Huh... Huh... Shh, sorry! Princess Alicia 3 is waiting for you! This way, please!

Yeah, you're right, apparently. Alicia, you don't seem to have forgotten about me, good, good. Well, let's just say I'm going to see you. She's a princess for once, and I'm not a sneaker to keep her waiting, even though she's an adventurer. I follow the leading soldier.

Then you can feel it a little bit, Lulu, who has fallen back on the soldier's shout. So I hold my hand and pull like I did when we first met. Then she seemed just a little relieved and followed me, just like before.

Finia wasn't originally depressed. On my shoulder, singing my nose in a good mood.

It's just that I'm putting my feet up and down, so subtle heel drops are subtly damaging my shoulders. Well, it's high tolerance, so when I say damage, I mean spiritual, what is it?

Enter the castle and walk on the familiar red carpet. Rotten luxurious hallways are the same and make you uncomfortable. I guess it's because there's this different feeling of the world that ordinary people like me, who are used to the lives of ordinary people, get carried away.

Maybe you're showing off this extravagant worldview and holding it back before the negotiations. If that's the intention, all I can say is boulder... the first princess is also smart inside.

"Hey, Mr. Gatekeeper, did something happen to this country? I have this whole confusing vibe."

"Yeah, yeah... well, I mean, something's happened... and it looks like some adventurer has recently appeared in this country. Whatever, it seems to be very ruinous... in the last week or so, it just happened to run up to the S-ranks."

Probably will also count in the S-rank sequence within close range. That's what the gatekeeper said. One adventurer, hey... and getting S-rank prowess in a week is, to be honest, a tremendous growth.

Rather than that, does it feel like the existence that originally had S-rank prowess has become an adventurer?

In the Adventurer Guild, if you even get an F-rank, you can get a request to crusade the Warcraft, so did you defeat even the ranked Warcraft there? Did you drop A-rank Warcraft, S-rank Warcraft, or even the neck of one of the Demons again... well apart from that, it's obvious it's awesome strength.

Nevertheless, the guy with S-rank prowess...... right. Stella, good for you, good for the Demon King, good for Leila, because all the S-rank monsters have been involved with me...... honestly, I hope it doesn't flag you.

"Is that why the adventurers are confused..."

"Probably... I don't know the details, but it seems to have a different, heterogeneous look to both adventurers and the average person, so I think you'll see it soon enough"

"Hmm."

A heterogeneous look is an oi. Aren't you the weird guy again? Oh, let's stop going to the Adventurer Guild. I never want to see you, I don't want to get involved, I don't want to know you. You refuse on three beats.

And as I walked through such conversation, I arrived in front of a large gate. It's a brilliant door with money on it.

Mr. Gatekeeper told us to wait for you, but it's about Alicia anyway, so I decided to come in and say something. I think it's just useless to have such a futile interaction. That kid's smart, too, and he should understand that kind of efficiency properly.

That's why Mr. Gatekeeper knocked, opened the door a little, went inside so that he could slide his body in, and put his foot in where he tried to close the door. Gacon, stopped the door from closing with the sound of

"Become..."

"Sorry to bother you, but it's a time-saving doctrine."

That's what I said to the surprise gatekeeper, and I opened the door with my hand. Although Mr. Gatekeeper resisted somewhat, muscularly I seem to be higher... The door was opened along my power as a result of the force comparison.

It was the great hall that was spreading inside. The library was bigger, but it was full of bookshelves over there. This big hall over here looks more sensibly spacious.

And Alicia sat with an invincible grin on the installed throne on the stairs opposite the door I opened.

Strangely, the style of a 7-year-old seems the same. He put his legs together and his elbow on his elbow was pretty penetrating, making her look bigger than she looked.

"Hey, long time no see, Alicia."

"Ki, you! What a mouth to the princess..."

When I raise my hand and say hello, the gatekeeper says so with his hand on the sword.

But.

"Good, back off"

"Nah... princess!

"I forgive you. Besides, the guy there is my friend... it's just creepy to be polite right now"

"Ha!

That's what Alicia says, lowering the gatekeeper. Alicia is the only one left in this big hall.

"... I saw a giant pillar of light a while ago, so I was just showing myself."

"Oh yeah, that pillar of light. I took a direct hit, but, well, I managed to live."

"Hahahaha!... so the fairy and beast man's daughter there is why you went to see the brave man?

"That's right, Finia and Lulu. My dear family."

Right. Alicia said. An invincible grin turns into a gentle smile. I don't know, you little girl... you look more grown up than me... how genius you are.

Well, you seem to have kept your promise to me in this situation. Promise me you won't let anyone near that mansion. Even so, there wouldn't be a guy trying to get close to that mansion.

"So... are we going to that mansion now?

"Yeah. I just need to help the leashes... and I'm going to fix that mansion problem."

I have to keep my promises, too, more than Alicia kept her promises. When I got back to this country, Alicia said I would take care of all her concerns.

I came here because I wanted to ask you about the report of your return and the slightly confused atmosphere in this country. I'm just going to go to the mansion when I'm done with Sole, and I'm going to go help the Leashes.

Then Alicia's expression became a little cloudy.

"Tough... it's the mansion, but there's one element of uncertainty"

For genius Alicia, the tone of her voice is rarely fragrant. An indeterminate element... what the hell happened?

"... do you know there are adventurers in this country who have run up to S-rank in an instant lately?

"Oh... yeah, I asked the gatekeeper"

"I'm the adventurer... he's going to the mansion soon. The powerful man who recently showed up at the top of his head spied to find out if it would harm this country, but as a result, he found himself trying to get close to the mansion."

Ha... Then maybe I can't help but get involved. I like the S-rank you make. Me too. That ghost may also be S-ranked in strength from the handiwork that put Layla in her hands lightly. I wonder how much life you've painted S-rank. I think it's a little too hard mode.

If it weren't for Beginning Crossing, wouldn't I be dead already? Seriously, I'm glad now.

Well, let's hope we're not enemies. Do you think it would have been nice to hear from Alicia first?

Nevertheless, I doubt that S-rank, why it just appeared in the Kingdom of Luxhide (here).

Until then if I say coincidence...... I think there might be something because there were demon kings and apostles and all that? Maybe I overthought it, but I kind of...

"Hmm, I have a nasty feeling..."

Finia, who was on my shoulder, saw me better, but my whining easily scratched out in this vast space.
