My First Trip was to Another World

I walked on the roof to the inn. Before the sun goes down as planned. The pace was slow, but even the novice Lily was able to chase him away safely.

"Phew.

Koh, this is fun. I wonder why you haven't noticed it before. "

Mr Lilly said with a little shortness of breath.

He seemed to like it a lot from the middle of the run, using his wasted health to fly, jump and go around and knock it down.

I was worried I could follow you while you did that, but somehow I followed you normally. I think Claire would have consumed enough energy to leave on the way...

"You followed me a lot. It's a lot of strength."

"Pfft. I work out in Glad Squad training. You can't beat those soldiers."

"Really?

Didn't the soldiers seem to remember his name for that?

When Mr. Lilly refers to training, you mean early morning training. Sure, that one's tight. If I can keep up with that, I can afford a roof run.

But Gilbert recognized Mr. Lily as a 'boob'. I didn't get a name. I have a problem with Gilbert, too, but if he's in training, he seems to remember his name as much as he does.

"You can't afford to train early in the morning. I'm just desperate to eat up. We can remember each other's faces, but we don't know their names."

Is that it? You have free time before and after training, or you can chat while you run.

"You'll get enough time to introduce yourself, won't you?

Lily's expression is cloudy. He looked at me like he saw something incredible.

"Mr. Coe, normally I can't. I don't waste my health before I start, and after I finish, I don't have that kind of strength left."

"I'm not like you or the Glad team. Don't be with those people who make jokes while running at all costs."

Not all of the crew, but the Grad squad crew sometimes chat while running. I refrain because the instructor finds out and pisses me off, but some guys (assholes) talk all the time without the instructor's eyes. Not a good thing, but I think it's how they enjoy their training.

"Well no. Let's go to your room because there's nothing you can do about it."

Take Mr. Lily into the inn.

Perhaps Mr. Lily is on a sleepover course today. The sun should be down by the end of the story. It's bad to let him go home in the middle of the night, so let's get him to change rooms today.

"Welcome back!

My usual billboard daughter greeted me. I'm fine today.

"I'm home. I'm suddenly sorry, but I've got one more today. Could you change the room, please?

"Fine. Six people in a room?

That's cheaper in monetary terms, but it's troublesome considering I'm getting my room back tomorrow.

This inn has fixed rooms and stays continuously. That's why we're moving the conditioner on our own to make it easier for us to use. When I move the room, they undo the conditioning I moved.

I'll take care of Claire and Leeds, but I'll just have the two of them change rooms. These two don't have a custom room.

"My room is fine as it is. I need a room for two and a room for four."

"Okay! I'll get ready, so just give me a minute."

Patterns and running away sign daughter. I've been a little concerned for a while, but this kid mixes reverence and tame. I guess I haven't learned a firm salute yet.

Respectful language doesn't seem to be very important in this country. Even if kings and knights are opponents, they are not asked to speak respectfully if they cannot. They tell me to remember, but I won't be punished.

I don't know because I've never met nobles, but there seems to be a "embarrassing thing to be angry about in a verbal or disrespectful manner" trend among the great people of this country.

"Here you go -!

After a short wait, the Billboard Daughter returned fine.

Looks like the room is ready, so I'm moving. They usually assemble in me and Luna's room, but today they assemble in a four-man room, prioritizing size.

I just moved the bed to get some space. There was no chair for five in this room, so I laid my fur and sat on top of it.

"I'd like to hear about the elves."

Mr. Lily glances into me with her eyes shining. I don't know if it's enough information to meet expectations, but let's start talking.

"I say straight to the point. I met Elf's survival."

"What! Are you there? It would have been extinct, wouldn't it? Where are you?

Lily was surprised (today) to ask questions too loudly.

"I can't tell you the details, but I'm building a village not far from this country."

Behind the woods, but it would be better not to go into details. This guy could go alone. Even if we get to the perimeter safely, we'll be shipwrecked there because of the boundaries.

"Right...... Really, you were a real elf, huh?

"When they say that, you don't know. I never saw a real elf.

But as far as I can tell, it's real. "

"How was the demon prop? Now technology would have gone a long way, wouldn't it?

"Unfortunately, the technology of the magic props was lost. I can't make it because I don't have the ingredients. Too much time went by as it was, and few magicians seemed to be there."

But the elders are probably magicians. He said he'd fix the line, so I think he's got a lot of skill.

But I guess young people can't. I can't study magic props without ingredients. Unfortunately, most elf demon props are non-reproducible.

"Really... So how's Elf Country? It's where the Elves used to be a long time ago. Did you get any leads?

"I couldn't hear that story. I forgot to ask. There was something else I wanted to ask you then, and there was a reason to rush home. Let's hear it the next time we go."

That time we talked about Elf's attribute magic and the biological weapon Uroboros. We needed to hurry to bring back Uroboros' information.

"Next...? Is this an easy place to go?

"It's not easy, but it's not a place you can't go. I plan to go soon. As early as the day after tomorrow."

It's time to do some forest research. The village of Elves is in the woods, so stop by to gather information. Finally, there are plans for a deal.

I spared a few days because it's unnatural to do an investigation every day. Now that the forest is off-limits, only we who have been appointed to investigate can deliver forest materials. That's why if I delivered the material like every day, it wouldn't seem good from the guild or from any other adventurer.

Shouldn't we be actively delivering because we don't have enough material? I also think it will definitely cause trouble. Not only will we buy disgust from other adventurers, but there will also be people out there who ignore the ban on entry.

"... Wouldn't you take me"

I say it with a look like Mr. Lily made up her mind.

"Don't be impotent. Mr. Lily would have a job, wouldn't she?

"Then let's quit our jobs"

Mr. Lily overlaps impotence with a serious face. I used to say "I might quit," but court magicians wouldn't be that easy to quit.

... Luna has surprisingly quit lightly. Actually, maybe it's something you can quit easily.

"Don't do anything sooner. You could take a vacation or something."

"That's true... but to be honest, it seems like it would be more fun to be near you than to be near the Inquisition.

I became a court magician because I could touch new magic props, but the magic props you guys make are newer and more interesting. I want to work with you to make magic props. "

I'm glad you said that, but it's not an easy decision to make. Everyone else's opinions must be heard, and it is risky for Mr. Lilly to quit the court magician. Salaries should be stable.

"I'm sorry for my unsolicited opinion, but I think Mr. Lilly would rather come with us"

Luna reluctantly says.

Until now, the selection of party members has been greatly influenced by Luna's will. It's my policy not to add anyone who doesn't like Luna to the party either. But Luna never told me to add you to the party. Luna tells me to add it to the party. I guess there's some kind of translation.

"Why?

"Mr. Lilly also knows how the ritual of apostolic summons works. It was then that we chose to remain in the Magic Inquisition. As far as I'm concerned, I want you to quit as soon as possible."

Apostolic Summoning Mechanism. It's about taking magic from ten sorcerers to death and giving it to the Apostle. Probably an ingredient of the growth cheats the Apostle has. Not metaphorically expressive cheats. It's a real defiant move.

Speaking of which, this summons failed and the operation was forced to end... So two of the apostles shouldn't have growth cheats. Sounds like you're having a hard time.

No, wait a minute. The ritual was prepared by the church. Good, the apostle, said he had been briefed by God on his growth cheat. That would mean that God is using a formula that dares to sacrifice people. Aren't you really a douchebag?

"Mr. Coe... you look so scared, what's wrong?

If you don't want to add Mr. Lily to the party, that's fine, right?

Whoa, my frustration's on my face. Bad story about chest feces, but this is a problem in this world. It's not something I should be involved in. It may be surprisingly accepted because rituals are normally performed in other countries.

"No, I just noticed something in the Apostolic Summoning. Can Mr. Lily really quit?

"Oh. I also thought I had to quit by the next Apostolic Summoning"

Oh, this guy lost The Greed to Make New Devil Tools. If you quit the court magician, you won't have a chance to touch the new magic item. So he seemed reluctantly to continue to be a court magician.

But the next time an apostolic summons is executed, the operator will almost certainly die. Mr. Lilly will also be chosen as the surgeon.

"Is there a next?

"TBD, but there will probably be. It's a bad word, but this time the Apostles have not achieved much good results. To be perfectly clear, I'm out of expectations. So much so that he was judged to be out of battle on this one.

If you are an apostle as expected, by now you are strong enough for a Glad Squad member to serve "

Looks like you're struggling after all. Sun and Ichi were regular serious high school students when they were in Japan. There's no such thing as doing martial arts or having special skills.

I've been hunting, camping and mountain walking, and I've managed to do it. It's a world that's too harsh for them only to study school.

If you think you're falling short of expectations, there's a good chance you'll come a second time.

That king probably doesn't know that the sorcerer will die. Apostolic summons is too much of a risk and disadvantage than a disadvantage.

I don't think the king of this country is inadvertent, but incompetent. It's weird and calculating, but it's not bad. So if you knew the sorcerer was going to die, you would have refused the ritual of apostolic summons.

I think if I could speak directly to the King personally, I could stop the Apostolic Summoning, but I don't have the means to do so right now. There are too many people between the glances, and I don't know who will read them in the magic props of the transcriber.

He would be punished as a heretic in the unlikely event that those in the Church would listen to him. The commandments of the Church are more radical than the laws of the kingdom. Whiplash and manslaughter are common. To say something weird, we're in danger.

"I see. Sure looks like you should retire early. But what about the other court magicians?

"We're the only ones who know how rituals work. There's another one you know, but that one's already quit.

I don't think it's fair that we're the only ones to quit... but it's also dangerous to spread the word about this, so I can't convince you "

This is not how we can do this. I can't explain the procedure in detail, so I'm guessing no one will respond to the persuasion.

I'm sorry for the court wizards, but let's wait until we stop the king.

"I think Mr. Lily could add me to the party membership, but what do Claire and Leeds think?

"It's no problem. Mr. Lily can count on you."

"Fine. Nice to meet you!"

"Soon, that's not why. Let me know when you quit the court magician."

That's what I said and gave him my smartphone. Demonic props I wouldn't give to anyone other than the people involved, but Mr. Lilly will have no problem because he's party member predetermined.

Mr. Lily was a lot surprised by the functionality of the smartphone, but unexpectedly it became very usable. We haven't been able to test the communication distance, so let's test it later.

The next time you go to the woods survey, call from the woods and connect, it's done.
