Invincible Saint ~Salaryman, the Path I Walk to Survive in This Other World~
171 To Nerdar, a magical independent city
In the early morning, not yet popular (one), three horses were about to leave the Holy Capital, but noticed they didn't hold what they could ID, and the three stopped by the Adventurers Guild before heading to Rockford.
"Twenty-four hours of free facilities is not convenient... it would be hard for you to work"
I dropped the three off. I decided to go back to my private room once, but on my way home, I was called from behind.
"Luciel, you."
"Good morning. I'll sit down. Mr. Lumina."
It was Mr. Lumina who was where I looked back.
"Oh, good morning. I heard you returned last night?
"Yes. I'm sorry I couldn't say hello. As soon as you eat, you will leave the Holy City again."
"That sounds busy. If you have time, I thought it would be a mock fight... can I ask where you're headed this time?
Mr. Lumina seemed really sorry, but he changed the subject.
I wouldn't mind a mock fight if it were supposed to, but I just have to say no in a situation where I can't recover if I get hurt.
"I'm going to Nerdar. As a matter of fact, with more magic attributes, I asked the Pope to study magic once and for all."
"Right, you learn the magic of other attributes... and then you change the job?
Can a healer only use holy attributes?
With that in mind, I tell him a little cloudy.
"That's pending, too. I wish I could be a job where holy attribute magic can be used, but that's the Holy Knight or something"
"Huh, that's funny. If that's going to be a reality, it's going to be your take on Luciel in the Holy Knights."
"... it's a little scary to imagine"
I remember the invitation of the circle, and I saw a future that would be made a slaughter deal more than that.
I shake my head and cut off my delusions.
"That's all it means to be popular. Then I'm going to go train."
Mr. Lumina laughs, just trying to get ahead, and provides backup.
"Yeah, good luck with that. Oh, I've seen villagers turn into demons lately, but suddenly they become demons, so don't fail to be vigilant in the village when you go on an expedition"
"... thanks for your advice"
And Mr. Lumina was headed to the training ground.
"I'm sorry about the kiss thing, because I can't think of it after everything's been cleaned up"
I bowed my head to Mr. Lumina, who was leaving.
I joined Estia, Nadia and Lydia during breakfast, but was exposed to numerous gazes because there are fewer women in the workplace, even though there is a Maiden of War (Valkyria) Saint Knights.
Nadia and Lydia seemed accustomed to being seen, but Estia was still pale today.
"Estia, did you sleep last night?
"... I couldn't sleep very well"
I shook my neck to the side and covered my face with my hands.
"... is that because of Melatoni? Or something else?
"… both"
That little voice I managed to squeeze out felt a mixture of fright.
"... well. I will also tell the Pope. Let me hear about Melatoni once it's settled. I'm not telling you to get used to that and this situation. Come on. If there's nothing you can do, don't hesitate, cry to Forenoir and the Pope"
"... Yes"
I grinned and nodded at my unscrupulous remarks, pointing my face over here, which I had covered with my hands.
To that unscrupulous laugh, I felt like I was just a little more energetic.
"Okay...... Nadia, Lydia. I'm so sorry that I'm going to be forced to accompany you both this time. I think it was a consideration for both of us."
I gave Nadia and Lydia an apology by gaining momentum in Estia's story.
However, at the time of deep lowering of his head, he noticed that he had surrounding eyes and decided to stop to the extent of the meeting.
"It's true that I was surprised, but I've actually always wanted to go to Nerdar. So I'm very happy with this story. Thank you for coming."
"My sister and I both liked to read the heroic warfare journal, and that's how I learned about the floating city, but unfortunately in Brange, it didn't come true for us, the daughter of the Viscount, because it took the king's permission to be allowed to travel to Nerdar. So I'm really glad."
You two didn't really care about my apology.
On the contrary, he had a strong interest in Nerdar, and on the contrary, there was a verse saying that he wanted this development, and he thanked me.
Until a while ago, guilt cleared up because I could understand that I was saying it not only with words, but with all my heart.
At the same time, I realized I hadn't seen the look on their faces.
I felt reminded once again how much I couldn't afford it.
"... it would help if you could say that. When we get to Nerdar, we'll have both of you study magic. But the basics are going to be free."
"May I?
"You're going to follow me as a squire, right?
They were surprised, but Nerdar was uncombatant.
"Oh. Still, I don't basically force anything. I just need one favor. As soon as you get to Nerdar, head to the fountain in the heart of Nerdar. That's all I want you to be prepared for, because it could be a fight there."
"Combat… there will be no problem if it is about skirmishing"
"Now it's time to make it useful."
The two felt like they were going into the hall to be exactly high ranking adventurers rather than noble ladies, which seemed very reliable.
After the meal we set foot among the popes again before Mr. Lumina and the others arrived.
"... so it's Forenoir. Why would I bite your head right after we met?
When I came into the room, I tried to say something, and then I walked up to Forenoir and I suddenly got a sweet bite on my head.
Ignoring my voice, Forenoir never stopped chewing.
Then I gave up, and I was in a state of being liked and made into a forenoir, but apparently satisfied and moved to the side of the Pope.
I beg your pardon, Pope.
"Good. I'm sure you'll miss your partner"
The Pope laughed at it and forgave me.
"Brululu"
Forenoir listened to it and took a slightly infidel attitude.
Only the four of us and the Pope and Forenoir are here at the moment.
"Well, I'll keep Forenoir for the time being, so I'll keep this with you."
"Is this the key?
"Yes. It's the key to the hiding, which is magic equipment. If you turn the key, the stables appear, and if you enter them, the Forenoir will be fed and cared for."
"You have something convenient."
"Yeah. I treasure it when I travel. I'm going to Nerdar in the name of this expedition, but I still can't predict how long I'm actually going to spend over there... so I'll leave it with the Pope."
"Hmm. I'll leave you to your concubine about Forenoir"
Exactly. There's a limit to letting him stay in the room where the Pope is, and Forenoir would be stressed out.
I could leave Estea in charge, but I was also afraid that Estea would be dependent on Forenoir.
That's why I asked the Pope to administer it.
"Thank you very much. And just one thing, I'd like you to overlap with Estia, who's familiar with people and unfamiliar with people's gaze."
"Good. It's normal for someone with the protection of the Spirit King to consult on something with the protection of the Spirit."
When I asked him to wrap this morning's matter in oblate, the Pope laughed and nodded at me.
I asked for a transfer to Nerdar, putting up with what seemed like a fright to me.
"Then it has become a rush, Pope, but I ask you to forward it"
"Uhm. Then follow me."
The Pope looks here and moves to the room to the right, so we go after him, too.
I thought we were going to use transfer magic among the popes, but they didn't.
There were no windows in the next room, except the candlestick attached to the candlestick was on fire, which was just a room with a magic formation on the floor.
"There's this dim spot?
"Bye. It's made to prevent it from mixing with magic in the air."
I guess it was Sir Leinster who made this.
It really surprises me. But if he was taking space-time magic, didn't he have space-time displacement?
Thinking about it, wouldn't he have done something about the Evil God?
Where I had thought about that, I followed the Pope's instructions and moved to the centre of the magic formation.
"If you go over there, give it to me and you'll be fine."
That's what they said and gave it to me was a single letter.
"To whom do I get this?
"He's the head of the magic guild that manages Nerdar. I'm sure it will help."
"Thank you"
The Pope laughed and nodded, poking his wand into the magic formation.
The moment the magic team glowed white and dyed everything white, I fell into a very strange sensation.
It's as if I'm staying in the air... experiencing a weightless state of affairs without my feet on the ground. It was like that.
And when the light slowly subsided, it was a dim room, badly resembling where the Pope had sent it.
Just in case I meditated on my eyes. When I sensed signs and magic, I could not feel the magic power of the Pope.
Instead it was found that there were many signs, and I realized that I had metastasized.
"Are you both okay?
"Yes, it just made me feel a little weird, but nothing wrong"
"I'm fine, too"
That's what they answered, so I made sure it wasn't a problem and then opened the door in front of me.
The place where I dived out the door was a room where the light of day entered very nicely and seemed so beautiful that I admired it.
"This is amazing."
"It's great. I've never seen such beautiful decorations since I was born."
"I'm already in Sky City... it's really beautiful"
Lord Leinster, even the reincarnated are too special for you.
"You have eight rooms... even if you add all the countries..."
I can't keep looking at it forever, so I'll check my surroundings.
Then there were seven other doors similar to the one we were made of.
Seeing a total of eight doors, I didn't know if everything was a transfer formation, so I decided to break that thought and embark on an exploration.
"Find the heart of Nerdar or the Magic Church first"
"" Yes ""
Though a little anxious, he was willing to safely blossom the job, opening the entrance and the door hung by the plate.
