I decided to go hiking with Mr Bonanza today. Bonanza stands at the forefront of us and puts his hand on the door of the house.
"Wait, wait, wait. I told you we're the only ones who can open it."
Oh, that's right.
I went out in front of Mr. Bonanza and put magic through the door. Then the door opens without a sound.
"Heh... that's how you open it."
Naturally. I never thought I'd be forced to open it. "
That's what I said when I left the house. I noticed that there was a clear leg-shaped dent on the floor at the front door. It must be a testament to Bonanza's efforts. Why did you try to open it so far...?
"By the way, how do we get out of the barrier?
I'm going outside King's Landing now. In order to go outside the Wall, we must go through the gates of the King's City. Irvin's treatment is troublesome. I don't have an ID so I can't go out in a decent way.
"Kor doesn't know the way out, does he? Then I'll tell you. There are several informal ways out of King's Landing. Sometimes bandits use it."
Bonanza seems to be crushing bandits with hobbies. As part of his hobby, he must have found a way out.
"If the bandits are using it, don't they have to block it?
"It's okay because I'm watching. There's a lot of trouble with people who use a way out."
By daring to leave the way out, he's making it easier to find suspicious people. If you use the way out, will Bonanza find out soon...?
The way out near my house was a wooden door subtly hidden with weeds and trees. The mucus around the door is terrible and I don't want to get too close. That's why it's hard to find.
Other ways out of here are tunnels dug in the basement or in the garden of a private house. They say they're all out of sight of soldiers. Well, as soon as the soldier finds out, it's only natural.
Out of King's Landing safely, heading east to the mountain. We're on the west side of King's Landing, so we're going a long way. Shit, I should've left from the east...
"I'll run to the mountain. I'm running late."
That's what Mr Bonanza said and ran away. From Bonanza's feet, the mud bounces with great momentum. I don't want to run behind Mr. Bonanza, even if he tells me not to be late. I followed Bonanza a little further.
Did you run for about 30 minutes? The King's Capital has already gone so far as to be invisible. Bonanza kept running smoothly, but Irvin made a noise.
"Wait... too soon..."
It was inadvertent. Irvin is still a child, so his stride is short. It's hard to keep pace with us. That's why I didn't hold it for Irvin...
"Bonanza, stop!
I called out loudly, but Bonanza didn't stop. I can't seem to hear you because I've kept my distance.
"I can't anymore...."
Bonanza stopped suddenly as Irvin was about to die. Bonanza looks at the small, high hill on the left.
Nothing at first glance, but there were signs of a few people on the other side of the hill. Somewhat weak Vigilance response.
This reaction will be considered an enemy if met in the city, but not outside the city. All adventurers who are alert to monsters react to the "Alert" reaction even if they are just nervous. If you're an adventurer at work, you're on alert.
Anyone I know will know about Vigilance, but these three are people I don't know. We don't judge our enemies, so we stay away from them unless we have a special reason.
"Sorry, wait a minute. Could you rest here for a moment, please?
Bonanza said that waiting for us to catch up. I wonder if you knew Bonanza.
"For?"
"It'll be over soon. Irving seems tired, so it's just fine, right?
Bonanza looks at Irvin and says. That Irving is breathing out with his hands on his knees. I don't seem to have the strength to respond.
I see. I'll sweeten your words and let you rest a bit. "
While dropping off Bonanza, who was walking slowly, he pulled a waterproof cloth out of the magic bag and laid it on the ground. Irvin fell into the cloth.
"Thank God...."
Irvin draws a water bottle out of his magic bag and drinks while lying down. Drinking water in that pose, on the contrary, isn't it painful?
How many more minutes will it take for Bonanza to return? It's a waste to just rest. This is a good opportunity to train Irvin a little.
Irvin is still not good at detecting signs. Not as much as Leeds, but I want you to have the same skills as us. Irving's weapon is a gun. Ranged fire goes well with signal sensing. There is no harm in training.
"Irvin, there's a human over there, you know?
Huh?
"It's a sign. If you get used to it, you'll feel it. Bonanza is on his way."
Irving has the basics, too. I'm used to the rest. If you consciously try to find signs, it will improve.
"... I don't know."
Irvin groaned with apology. Well, the other person's signs aren't that strong, so you won't have to figure it out.
What I'm feeling with the perception of signs is the strength of the other person's presence and emotions. The intensity of the signs varies from person to person, but the signs become stronger even when the emotions move greatly. Now, the easiest thing to understand is Mr. Bonanza's sign.
"Do you know what happened to Bonanza?
Yeah, I can manage.
"He has strong signs, so it's easy to understand. Get used to Bonanza first."
Bonanza has an unusual presence and is perfect for training. Irvin followed Mr. Bonanza's signs.
Bonanza crossed the hill and disappeared from our sight. But I know the signs. Irvin seems to be following the signs.
After a while, all of a sudden, the signs of the three became stronger. It's a strong Vigilance response.
"Ah! Okay!
The stronger the three signs, the more Irving could catch them.
"Excellent. Let's do it."
"Ah... I'm leaving..."
The three of them suddenly ran and Bonanza followed. Judging by the signs, the three of them seem to be running away from Bonanza... I think he was just an acquaintance.
A total of four signs moved away with great momentum and eventually overstepped my search range.
"If you know so much, there's no problem. I can't even feel it if it's this far away. I'm sure Leeds is the only one who can tell the signs at this distance."
At this distance, I think it depends more on the person's qualities than on practice. I've been using signs, but I don't see any signs of improvement.
I kept my eyes on my surroundings and took a break for a while. Then, it seems that Bonanza has made a move. Bonanza's signs are in range.
I'm coming home.
Irvin noticed that, too, poking his finger.
"Oh, I see. Let's remove the cloth and wait."
Bonanza can't see herself, but she can see soot and smoke from across the hill. Mr. Bonanza, the trip was relaxed, but the return was a fast journey.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
That's how Bonanza bleeds on her face.
"... what happened?
"There was a bandit I knew, so I hit him lightly."
Looks like the opponent was Bonanza's enemy. I wonder if Bonanza was walking slowly because she didn't notice.
"Are you okay...?
When Irvin groans worriedly, Bonanza answers with a good face.
"Do you think this claw is going to delay only three bandits?
The other three don't seem to be okay. It's a lie that I hit him lightly. I'm sure he's hitting me hard. Well, they're bandits. I can't help feeling sympathetic.
"But the only three of them are bandits....."
Much less. I think there are even more people in the city. Could it be reconnaissance or something?
"No, it's not. Originally there were about 30 people, but I accidentally missed what I was doing. That's the rest of us today."
The original bandits were destroyed a few days ago by Bonanza. I didn't ask what happened to the bandit because I was afraid.
"It's stupid to be near King's Landing where you're standing."
"I'm sure you had a lot of work to do."
I wonder if he was after revenge. But if you want to do something about Bonanza, it's not enough. If it's going to be safe, I'd like ten Glad Instructor classes.
"Now I don't know what it was for."
Bonanza shook her head sideways with a sick face. Let's not think about what happened across the hill...
"Bonanza, why don't you take a break?
"It's okay. We'll move on. It's getting dark."
Bonanza clapped her hands with bread and turned her face to a mountain that looked far away. It's the mountain next to the mountain that I used to climb for training at the royal castle. Much higher than a mountain of training. If you were to climb that mountain, it might be difficult to go on a day trip.
"Where are you going today? Is it that far?
"It's close. It's that mountain, but I won't tell you to go to the top, so I'll be there before the daytime bell rings."
Apparently, the middle of the mountain is the destination.
"Then you don't have to hurry."
If you rush too fast, Irvin will fall. I have to think about going home, so I'd better keep the pace down a bit. It would be easier if I could use transfer magic, but I don't want to show it to Bonanza. Because I'm afraid of the rest.
"If you don't go soon, you'll have less time to play over there, right?
"Play? Anything?
There is little entertainment in this world, so even if you are told to play, it won't hurt. I don't suppose there's a field athletic...
"It'll be fun after you go. Well, it depends on luck."
Whether or not you can play depends on your luck. I'm curious, but you won't even tell me now. Let's get back to work and move on.
Irvin has recovered enough. Now I slowed down a little and pushed toward the mountain. The grasslands were slashed and plunged into the river. Bonanza storms into the river.
"Wait! There's no way out!
Irvin screams. That's a fresh statement. I felt the same way the first time I crossed this river.
"It's okay. This river is shallow, so we can run across it."
"That's not the problem!
I pressed Irvin's back in mourning and entered the river. It may be a little deep for Irvin, but it's not like he can't reach his feet. I think I can cross without a problem.
He grabbed Irvin's collar, which occasionally slipped his legs and drifted across the river.
"I had terrible eyes....."
Irvin spills with a bitter face. Irvin seems to be trying to get through this, but it's really bad up ahead.
"No, it's just beginning. Look in front. It's a pretty steep slope."
In front of you is a slippery slope that stops moving. Mr Bonanza goes straight as a matter of course.
"... eh? You're going this way? It's a cliff...?
No, it's not a right angle. It's not a cliff.
The cliffs start at right angles. Isn't that common sense in this world? I learned that in the Glad Squad.
While doing so, Mr Bonanza stopped on a hill with a good view.
If this is the earth, the observatory is set up and the view is good enough to make it a tourist destination. There is a small river nearby. The water is clean enough to drink as it is. I'm surprised Mr. Bonanza knows this place.
"Here. Save it for me. Let's prepare tea."
There's nothing artificial, there's no sign of anyone else. On the contrary, there's no sign of a monster. It is unnaturally quiet.
"It's a nice place. You know a place like this."
"It's a famous place. But there aren't many people approaching here, so don't worry about getting interrupted."
The journey to get here was quite arduous. It is impossible for ordinary people to come here. It may be difficult if you are not as experienced as an early morning hiker in the royal castle. It's pathetic that you can't come to such a nice place.
No, you're so relaxed, are you sure? This quietness is on the contrary scary...
