Fourteen stories.
"Are you sure, they're going?
- A few days after crusading Thunderbeast Nue.
Tiamo, who came all the way to drop us off trying to leave Amorphas, said those words with an unfortunate look on his face.
Amorphas is a small city like the one where the Adventurer's Guild was finally built recently. If the number of registered adventurers is also low, the adventurer rank is also mostly novice to E and D.
It would be natural as a lord to want enough skilled adventurers to stay in the city long enough to defeat the vicious demons nesting in the woods.
"Yes, the case has been resolved and the blockade of the streets lifted."
"That's right. How long were we supposed to be in this city when the streets were mostly accessible?"
"Hey, sister Ray. Sai waited for me until the wounds on the oilers were fully healed. I can't believe Oyla doesn't care while she's my brother, pretending not to notice how you feel. Totally Ray, my sister is always - AGAIN!!"
...... yeah. These two seem as usual.
Ren, who devoured the goo punch flanking, is kneeling on the ground and stuffing.
"Fortunately, these two are feeling better,"
"Sis Cecil..."
It is true that Len stayed in the city until the twins wounded in the battle with Nue were fully healed, as he clung to Mr. Cecil's legs, who is smiling and watching his sister and brother fight, and who now seems to be sprinkling diarrhea at his feet in a progressive form.
The wounds sustained by the twins were profound.
After the battle was over, I headed to treat the two of them, but my healing magic alone did not completely block the wound, and I managed to take my life with a combination of healing pills that the captain of the Night Ringing Squad gave me.
It seemed like an expensive substitute, but it is the man who can give it away at all costs. Exactly the appraisal of a prostitute.
We both recovered well the next day, but stayed in the city of Amorphas until we were completely back in strength.
... In addition, if I were to make a progress report over the past few days, I would start by talking about the treatment of the bandits who attacked Tiamo.
Punishment inflicted on a flavor of Dorfoy and other bandits - forced labour in Amorphas-owned mines. That's it.
Be concise and clear. Reuse it as a workforce rather than executing it. That's what Tiamo is going to say about the development of the city.
It would be better than death, and Tiamo wouldn't do it in such a way that he would use it until he died in harsh working conditions.
... the mastermind who tried to use Dorfoy and others to embed Tiamo - about a troubled brother like Van, something like her upcoming assignment?
As for the night noise, he said goodbye in the woods.
What struck me was still the captain of the regiment and... the deputy captain who was called Mira. Though prostitutes, they stick their necks in trouble themselves, I'm sure they carry a variety of past.
He said he would see me again if he had the chance, but where did he go next?
By the way, I've been calm the last few days when it comes to me.
The request received from Tiamo through the Adventurer's Alliance was successfully accomplished, and the wallet was moistened thanks to the sale of nails stripped from Nue as material. In all, three pieces of gold coins - about 30,000 dallas - were earned, but they would have been more expensive if they had brought back some nue skin.
It is regrettable that I have burned and ashed my body, which was made into two pieces with nori. Even though "Thunderbeast Skin" just sounds like it's going to sell high.
The other nue remembers the captain was collecting the material beautifully. My idiot.
I also tried to get new requests at the guild during the time the twins recovered, but most of the requests being made to the guild in this city were just low-ranking ones.
He trained with Cecil near the city and encouraged him to train in the freshly remembered Thundersnake Shock (Orochi) image because I wouldn't be involved in promotion if I was asked to.
Not until it's comparable to the thunderbeast Nue yet, but this is a magic that embodies ex-magic images of lightning-generated snakes eating at targets. Combined charging skills will improve power somewhat, so it can be used to temporarily stop enemy movement.
Now even if I'm weak, I'm sure I'll do my best to shoot the special I admire one day.
- Is this where the progress report is?
"If you're like Mr. Sage, I didn't think exploring the undeveloped areas my father told me was a dream either."
Tiamo, who unfortunately spoke, quickly turned to this one with a bright smile back.
"You mustn't make a statement that will hold you back any longer in the drop-off. Thank you so much. Be careful on the road."
Tiamo bows politely to send me away feeling good. Yeah, kid.
I almost thought it wasn't a bad idea to lend a little bit of a hand, but it's visible that Ray's anger reaches its peak when he stays too long.
I have a dream of pioneering an untouched area, but I swallowed the words.
"I hope this city develops further. Bye."
Thus, when we left the mining district of Amorphas, we took the road east.
◆ ◆ ◆
The week of September, the original day.
"- Is this the Toggle region? It's a lush land indeed... but it's hot."
The landscape stretching beneath the eyes feels like a forest with trees and grass that have grown greatly due to the humid climate, or a plain where small animals can be seen cooling in the shadows of rocks.
The sun is strong, and the ultraviolet rays that burn your skin with gizziness would be a natural enemy for women.
Even for me, with a set of gear almost unified in black, this solar ray can be quite harsh. Damn, I won't take my armor off, even if I'm mean. It doesn't make sense if it's not black.
"If we keep up the pace, we'll be in the city of Erindal tomorrow."
Erindal, which Len spoke of, is said to be the name of the largest city in the Toggle region. Rick Shao, the brother of his twin sisters and brothers, should live there as a lord.
Me, Ren, Ray, and Mr. Cecil, each of them hold the reins of a horseman. Apart from Luke, the other horsemen were rented at a horsemen's shop in the city just before entering the Toggle region. Thanks to this, the travel speed is quite fast.
When you arrive, you should return it to the branch of the Beast Shop in Erindal, so you don't have to bother to return it where you borrowed it. It's convenient.
"In the meantime, why don't we stay in that village for today? I'm a little bad at being hot. I mean, I'm used to the Toggle region, Len. As for you, Se, aren't you hot in that outfit?
Cecil, whose face is covered with patties and hands, has cast a simple doubt on me.
"At all, it's not hot in here either, is it?
I did everything I could to keep my sweat on my forehead and let my doubts turn back.
- That night. In a village inn.
"Are you travelers? Where are you going?"
He was pouring liquor into the container I have in hand. The old man asks me where he's going. By the way, Mr. Cecil is the only one present, and my twin sister and brother should be relaxing and resting in the room.
I may not have to worry because those two lived in Toggle over a decade ago, but I try not to stand out for once. Because if the child of the executed former lord wandered around, it could also develop into trouble.
Upon arrival in the village, Ray wore a hooded cape deep in his eyes, and Ren had his face covered with a shawl on his shoulder. Even if someone found out about his face at an early age, I don't know about that.
"It's Erindal's appointment."
I reply with fruit liquor in my mouth that has a unique acidity and sweetness such as marinated golden kiwi.
This tastes like a habit. It would have melted out of the fruit. The gorgeous yellow brightens my mood.
"That said, I don't have any particular business. I'm an adventurer, so I wanted to spread the word."
"Yeah, I don't know. Erindal is really the oldest city around here."
"What kind of a lord are you now? I heard you were young."
Mr. Cecil, who enjoyed the booze faster than I did, asks a candid question. She should still not know that her current lord, Rick Shao, would be the brother of her twin sisters and brothers, so it would be a genuinely insignificant question.
Hand Oyaji a piece of copper coin and ask him to pour a replacement in Mr. Cecil's emptied glass as well.
"I don't know. Villagers like me don't know. I just don't want anything as dangerous as the previous lord."
Ray and Ren's father are the former lords who have been executed for plotting a rebellion against the Suvenese Empire.
It takes the form of a succession of Rick Shao, who was the prodigal son, but I guess it's more important every day that nothing happens to villagers and others. A man who was a player, for better or worse, may be ruling Toggle as a lord unrelated to rebellion and such.
Talking about Len, it seems that Rik Shao was a subhuman or a human, but the woman he liked had a verbal personality from one end, so I headed to Erindal first (* I get regular reports from Kroko) and I'm a little worried about Rim.
If things are weird, let's go back to the Kingdom of Richelle immediately after rescuing Rim and have the King send a crusader by reporting the particulars. Let's do that.
Of course the general is me. I'll destroy you overnight.
...... is all a joke, but what kind of person is it actually?
"Hey, Mr. Se. You're early in the morning, aren't you? Time to get some sleep?
Indeed, there is no answer for being stuck in thought here. Perhaps we should keep our sleep tight, as Cecil said.
"... right. Shall we take the day off now?"
I handed over a few pieces of copper coins as a thank you for letting the innkeeper talk to me, and I turned my back to my room. Even though it's a village inn, it's well built and has a fine key to the room. Travelers can relax in peace.
"- Why would Mr. Cecil come with me to my room!? I would have taken a separate room properly"
"Well, don't be so hard on me. I drank some delicious alcohol. Ahhh...?
"I'm going to bed."
"So... what?
"It's pillows and futons."
No, this guy's drunk. Or the character would be too different from when fighting. Who made you drink so much? It's me.
"Shit. Was that alcohol that strong? I barely get drunk, so I don't know."
I have no choice but to disperse to the room, although it may be a little violent. A wake-up surprise dock show like the one before is troublesome.
"Ha ha. Can you help me? No matter how strong you are, you can't beat the simple power... Ugh."
What a last feeling. You're a little cute.
I do ask you not to lick my physical abilities right now, although Cecil, the lion's semi-beast man, is not half armed. LV4. It's current.
He pushed Mr. Cecil forcefully into the room, drunk him with water and grew up after a while. My chastity will be protected until morning because I could hear my sleep so easily.
- That sounded like a lot of fun.
Softly I came out of Mr. Cecil's room and suddenly a voice rang.
"Become!?...... what, Ray? Don't be surprised."
I feel like I woke up drunk even though I wasn't drunk. Strange.
"I'm sorry."
Mm-hmm. I got a heartless word for you.
Tomorrow, you'll arrive in Erindal.
"Oh, you plan on... that's all?
When asked back, the rarely dark-haired girl is clogging words and moving her mouth with a corn.
Waiting until I calmed down, I finally spinned the words small.
"It's because of you that I've come this far... I just want to say thank you for once..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
That's all he said, and Ray went back to his room without a word.
What...? I don't know.
In the meantime, I don't think this is the first time Ray has said a word of thanks to me honestly.
That's all, I get it.
