143 Never Get Caught Running Away

"So, where are you going?

"I'm not thinking."

"What?"

"No Plan"

"Seriously?"

"Seriously."

Ha, and Melvi sighed.

but I say get back on my mind.

"Oh, good."

"Are you sure?

"That's a good way to travel."

"Yeah, that's the kind of trip I wanted to try"

Because of this, I was reincarnated into another world, but I have not traveled like this before.

At first, he was a baby, he was with his parents, and he went to the crow's den because he was kidnapped. After that I grew up in Monocanus. I went to Sonorat when I was in the North Row, but that's because I needed it. Later, beyond the Great Cliff (Grand Cliff), he entered the Central Plateau in order to defeat the apostle of the evil gods.

I don't do something called a purposeless sightseeing trip. Because it's a different world, a world where there's a lot of things not on Earth, it would be a waste of time not to tour.

"Speaking of which, did you bring the goddess von?

What Melvi has heard is that ten years ago, after the cleaver (ripper) incident, a smartphone (something like that) can be called with a goddess who was awarded a reward by the goddess.

There is a limit of up to fifteen minutes a day, but before that, I could only talk to the goddess during my growth sleep. Some hands [pray] at the altar of the Temple of the Circle, but not necessarily the temple before Yuku. I could tell it was a pretty treasured item.

"For once. But I'm not willing to use it for the moment. I can't help it if there's an emergency from the other side, but until then, I'll be patient."

"Well, for the time being, we're both together."

Melvi says that and laughs.

Makes me smile softly.

"... I'm sorry Melvi can't be my wife's candidate"

"Hey, hey, what are you talking about, already!

Melvi turns her face red and turns that way.

"Not with my wife because she's a human and a fairy, but keep it up, buddy"

"Oh, buddy...... yeah, welcome!

Conversations are often interrupted.

While we were talking, we were running nonstop down the back street. Melvi keeps the tireless marathon on my shoulder.

"Regardless of where you're going, it's a priority not to be caught by a chaser for the moment"

"The chaser."

Of course, it's about Jeremiah and Asla.

Jeremiah's class, The Dark Witch, is dedicated to pursuit and assassination. Physical and magical alike, there is plenty to find a subject from very few traces. In fact, Jeremiah had seen through enemy spies, both in the Federation and in the Empire, and had captured them from one end.

On the other hand, Asura has a class called "10,000 Demon Warehouses". This is the ability to exercise the ability of captured demons on your own (you can also "take" some demons out of your body). Asura also takes in canine demons such as Hellhounds, so she can track this one from the odor trail.

"With anti-Jeremiah, before I met Melvi, I showed him my passport through the gate opposite, and then once back in the city, I made a witness and then I got over the wall elsewhere. Then I went further back to the city, and it was only so that no one would find me that I went over there and there was Melvi."

"Well, that's all I've been doing."

"We should be able to find out first if the pass is not used. I wish I could get caught up with that, but Jeremiah isn't sweet. So I got over the nearby wall after I was witnessed. The walls have left traces of hook rope on a fine level that only Jeremiah can notice. Let's hope you get caught up in that."

That's how they're hurrying the road because they're scared they're even going to break through.

"As for the Asla measures, after I left with a pass, I jumped into a nearby creek and went slightly upstream before leaving a trace in another direction. The stink trail should interrupt in front of the creek, and even if they follow the creek, they'll catch on to Mislead."

"You were just passing through the river."

"Yeah, just in case they see through all the measures."

"Did you choose the back road where the forest trees were bush and covered in roads, also because Asura wouldn't spot you from above"

"That sort of thing. For once, you're disguising the upper side with the magic of Mirage, but there's a risk that you'll notice it in the wild."

"You're running away from something awful."

"Totally."

"... if you get caught, you're gonna be in big trouble"

"... Hey, don't tell me"

What happens if Jeremiah and Asra of Angry Minds catch you?

Especially Jeremiah, "Edgar, I'll kill you and I'll die too!" That's about it.

"But you have something you're after for once, right?

"Oh, sure."

I use the power of Magi Adept to display a map of light in front of Melvi.

"We're headed west now"

"When it comes to the west... yeah, it's west of Mithrandia, so what city is Fords?

"Yeah, but I'm not stopping by Fords. I don't want to leave a trail."

"So, what's next, a village southwest of Fords?

"It's also a pass there. It's a sparsely populated village, so the villagers will remember us clearly. If Jeremiah gathers witness testimony with a smudge, she'll catch it."

"Then where are you?

"Fords, Berzette passes and stops in the city of Kreutz, northeast of Berzette and west of Fords. This is a big city, so you can sightsee, and you'll be ready to travel."

"I see?"

"West of Kreutz is already close to the hemline of Central Mountain Ridge. We'll try this central mountain ridge."

"Mountain climbing!

The Dragon Snake Tongue Continent (Midgalztan) is a long peninsular continent to the north and south. Running like a spine in the middle of it is Central Mountain Ridge. Elevation is estimated by triangulation, which in some places exceeds 7,000 meters, he said.

"They have a lot of goblins and oaks living in Central Mountain Ridge, but some of them are hidden settlements of Dwarves. I saw a dragon, what a testimony."

"Heh. Sounds interesting!

"Regardless of whether you can find a hidden settlement or a dragon, I wanted to look down on the middle plain from high ground. I've climbed a tall mountain called Mount Fuji in my last life, and the landscape from there was amazing."

"Looking forward to it!

Flew around like Melvi couldn't wait.

"But most of all, I'm looking forward to it."

"Ahead?

"Oh, the western side of the Dragon Snake Tongue."

The eastern side of the Dragon Snake Tongue Continent (Midgalztan) (east of Central Mountain Ridge) became a printed map of the Southern Midgald Federation to the south and the Middle Plains Empire to the north. I mean, the east side is basically the world of humans.

The West, by contrast, has become an untapped land for humans.

"There's no more information about the West than rumors about the forest where the elves live, or the Lizardman who has migrated from the scorching continent, or the Dragon Man. Maybe we can't even speak Marquecto."

"Hehe..."

Leaks a voice that Melvi was seriously impressed with.

"Ma, the information around there might also be available in Kreutz for a moment. Because they don't have many people coming and going from east to west across Central Mountain Ridge though. I hear there's Sherpa in Kreutz."

"Shiru?

"A mountain guide...... I wonder if you mean it. About someone who is familiar with the mountains and gives directions"

Meanwhile, at the Misslandia Federal Embassy around that time.

"How dare you, boy!?"

Steph screamed in a semi-frequent,

"Oh dear, you left me...?

Asura groaned sadly,

"Huh. Edgar, you? Ugh, you're lying..."

Jeremiah was suddenly solidified by self-loss.

"Ahhh - did I hunt you down too much?"

and relatively calmly crushing is the Holy Sword (Space Feather Grip (Space Ruler)). Not the brave Alchelato (Ciel) who dwells there.

"You can't help what you ran away from. Go after him or leave him alone until he gets back."

This again calmly, Knight (Little Devil Fairy Look) says.

"Oh, yeah! That's right, Edgar. Even you can't still be that far away! Chase him and make sure he's done it!... it wasn't, I'll catch you!

Jeremiah holds his fist for a long time and declares.

"Get him. What are you gonna do? You didn't like the way things were going, did you?

When Knight says, Jeremiah breaks her neck.

"Ugh... that's right"

"I'm not going back to Miss Landia or the Federation anymore, what if I tell you I'm going to live alone?

"Oh, no..."

Jeremiah's face turns pale.

"Well, if that's enough, I'll kill you, Edgar, and I'll die, too!

"Wow."

"Wow."

"Wow."

"Eh, you can't die, you can't die!

Steph, Ciel, and Knight donned, and only Asla said something straight.

"Anyway, I have to track it down. Asura, I'm coming!

"Oops! Sounds like you and I are having fun!

Jeremiah jumped out of the office window, looking like Asla's bokeh was not in her ear either.

"- Kushin!

"What, a cold? Why don't we just fix it with [cure magic]?

"No, I'm sure it's hay or something"

Even the magic of this world cannot cure hay fever. East of Mithlandia, on the hem of Central Mountain Ridge, there seems to be a dense forest of cedar, and pollen comes to Mithlandia on a westerly wind. Hay fever is like Mithrandia's wind and earth disease. I got sick after I left here too.

"More than that, it's always in the woods."

"You can't help it, you can't go down the plain if Asura is sentinel over it"

"Plains, or hillsides around here, right? Well, it helps because it's easy to hide yourself."

The central plateau is not as flat a terrain as it is said.

Often held by analogy is a "wrinkled tablecloth". In fact, there are hundreds of meters of mountains running at endless vertical and horizontal altitudes in the Middle Plains, and there are many other parts of the hills. How to clear these hills has become an important technology for war in the Middle Plains, as soldiers can be hidden behind them and the mountains are not so steep as to hinder marching.

Even in the woods, it is no different that there are many ups and downs.

Creeks sometimes flow in the undulating valleys.

Proceed through the woods moisturizing your throat with fresh water flowing from the mountains.

Melvi says she likes the forest like a fairy. He sings his nose in deflection with forest animals and butterflies.

"I think it's about time we saw Kreutz..."

Crushing, climb the small high hill in front of you.

I could see quite far from the top of the hill.

Seen with his vision enhanced by the Spiritual Elder, he could barely see the walls that covered the city beyond the hillsides that joined him like the cobb slopes of Uhn and Mogul.

Vegan, eye-catching Melvi is watching the same sight next to me.

The time is evening. The sunset that plunges from the west depicts a complex strand of orange and blue on the stair hill.

We were often seen as such.

"Well, if we don't get into the city by sundown, it's a hassle."

Me and Melvi go up the speed and through the hills.

"- Hmm. An adventurer. What! What, S-rank!?"

The gatekeeper who saw my adventurer card is amazed.

When boarding the central plateau, he had his guild rank raised to s in the favor of Vistogard I. Alliance ranks are common in the south and north. That meant it was easier to act, but it's flaws in the balls that make the evil stand out.

"Okay?

"Oh, oh... there can't even be complaints. Welcome to Kreutz.... but you guys are in the wrong place."

"Huh? Why?

"You haven't heard? Central Mountain Ridge, I hear mountains erupted around close to Dragon Gap Peak. It's not as smoky as a spray, but there's a lot of lava overflowing, and now there's a total ban on access to Central Mountain Ridge."

"... he's in trouble."

"Odd, I know you've been trying to hunt mountain ridge demons efficiently and make some rough money, but guess what?"

"Right...... well, fine. It's a tourist journey. Not a bad visit to the volcano."

"Come on, I told you it was off-limits.... No, wait? If you say you're an S-rank, maybe you can get a rank designation request for more than A-rank."

"Request for rank designation. You mean come into the volcano and investigate the situation."

"That's a good guess. Exactly. I'm also curious to see how troublesome demons like Flame Rock Giganto live near the fire escape."

"I see. I'll stop by the Adventurers Guild."

"Do that. According to the circumstances, residents of Kreutz will be alienated to Baset, Fords and Mithrandia. I want information about the volcano, whatever it is."

Divided from the gatekeeper, I head to the guild to observe the city.

The city seemed rushed at first sight. The shopping for necessities is happening, and questions are being pressed here.

"What are you going to do, Edgar?

"Well, in this situation, you'll have to take it. I'm worried my name will stay here."

"What goes straight to the volcano without going to the guild?

"He'll be suspicious if he disappears here more than he showed his card to the gatekeeper. You may just think that people in this town fled because they didn't like the trouble, but Jeremiah will surely read my intentions. I hope Jeremiah doesn't get caught up in Miss Reed."

I enter the Adventurer Alliance, which was in the middle of the city.

At first the receptionist, who looked suspiciously unfamiliar to the adventurer, rushed to the back when he saw my card.

The receptionist who came back suddenly took a naughty stance and said he would lead me to the Guild Chief's office.

"Welcome aboard."

That's what my gracious grandfather recommended to me on the couch.

"I just happened to want to go through"

"That was a disaster, wasn't it? Now we can say this city is in an unprecedented crisis."

"Volcanic eruptions and the accompanying movement of demons."

"The earthquake from the eruption caused one home after another to collapse, and there was a fire in Slam Street."

"Oh, hey! Say that fast! Fire extinguishing activities!?"

"Don't be called to worry. You've already done that."

"Right."

I relaxed and lowered my floating back.

"Edgar Culver... aren't you?

"Yeah, I'm an adventurer."

"By this time, my ears have gotten a lot farther, but sometimes they can be heard from 'ears' that are not my own. Mithrandia-based federal ambassadors are supposed to be Edgar Culver."

"Same name."

"Hmm. That would be nice. I can't tell anyone who might have a job to do."

Is this about the volcano investigation?

"Come on. There are rumors that the dragon has returned to Dragon Gakuen, which has been an empty nest for a long time. And a volcanic eruption back and forth. Maybe there's a connection between these two."

"There's a dragon on Dragon Peak..."

"But if it turns into a volcano on a dragon, it's too heavy a load for some adventurer. Investigate Ryuga Peak, also known as the highest peak of Central Mountain Ridge, while dealing with smoke and overflowing lava that does not know when to erupt. Of course, there's a dragon in there. If this dragon is the mastermind of the eruption, we can even think of the possibility of a war with the dragon"

"That's a hell of a quest. It's a level where S-rank adventurers come together in a bunch."

"Exactly. Then, according to my 'ear', the Federation's special ambassador just drove one of his enemies into a bloodless castle, stood in front of the army of a hundred super generals proceeding, and pushed that army back by himself, attacking a bunch of demons from above with strange flying antiquities (artifacts), smashing them into wood dust, and so on."

That was... roughly true.

"So he's someone else with the same last name."

I'll try to get rid of it. [M]

"So I guess I can put up an use for Miss Landia right away and make an inquiry?

"... you just have to leave this city before then"

"I see your destination as Central Mountain Ridge, but what do you say?

No comment. But what was a hit seems promising to this old man.

"If you take my request, I won't use it on Miss Randia"

"... are you willing to threaten me?

"Terrible. I'm telling you there's going to be some kind of situation, so let me take it into account. Then I'll prepare a shelpa familiar with the mountain ridge. Since you're a former adventurer, you can defend yourself."

The conditions presented are not bad. Either way, I was going to go see the volcano. I was going to warn you if the crushing flow was dangerous. I also want to see dragons and dots. Seems like an unusual perception to the average person as a demon, but the dragon I met before was the one who could tell the story. Conversely, if dragons are associated with volcanoes, they also need to be crusaded.

"Central Mountain Ridge has a steep terrain in which to enter. There are also numerous special demons that have adapted to the terrain. It's not a mountain where amateurs can step in without any preparation, no matter how strong they are, is it?

Grandpa's words became decisive.

"... ok. Let me take the request. Except I'm going straight out across the mountain ridge. Shall we let Sherpa have the report and send it home?

"Fine. Pay half of your reward in advance and deposit the rest in your Alliance account."

That's why I was set to step into the central mountain ridge where the volcano erupted.
