Summoning at Random

Lesson 50: On the Road

Revealing a night in the woods, Ling Ji and Miliez left early the next morning after a brief tummy tuck in the rest of the dinner they made the day before, soiling the fireworks quickly.

Because we wanted to get out of the woods as quickly as possible, we both decided to talk to each other that way.

But there's one problem. I don't know which way to go.

The direction can be seen from the direction of the sunlight, but I don't know which direction to go anymore than I don't know the current position or destination.

"So, which way are we going?

"Right, uh... let's head southeast"

"I don't mind, but what's the basis for that? Why the southeast?

"Henri's raven drew me a map, and it's supposed to be in Luxembourg."

"Kah."

When Ling Ji answered Miliez's query with his gaze, Raven slapped him around his chest with one feather to show him, not asking him to leave it to him. For some reason, my anxiety increased.

"Well, I don't have any other good ideas either.

No matter which direction you go, you will be able to get out of the woods.

So why don't we look for people and see where they're headed again? "

"Kah?"

"Oh, no, that... doesn't mean I don't trust Master Henri!

Milieus makes a statement assuming that he was in the wrong direction, but the raven interrogated him in a frenzy to make a hasty excuse.

I feel sorry to see you making excuses for a raven from the side, but I guess if you think your king's friend in your own country is on the other side, you have no choice.

Let's go, then.

"Oh.... that's northwest. The other way around."

"Oops."

Miliers grabbed Ling Ji's hem and stopped him trying to walk the other way in the wrong direction.

As it was, the two began to walk in a southeasterly direction, in the form of Miliers holding Ling Ji's hem.

After a while as the two continued to walk in the woods, the trees broke apart. Apparently, he got out of the woods safely.

Through the woods. There was a flatland as far as I could see.

"I'm glad we made it through the woods, but there's no city or village as far as I can see."

"No, I sure don't see people... look around that area"

"Hmm?"

When Ling Ji turned to Miliers' direction of pointing fingers, there was a grassless part of the band there.

"Probably a street.

If we go along with that, won't we get to the people?

"Right, let's do that"

As the two advance their feet to that location, they check the ground again.

There were traces and footprints on the ground, and signs of people passing through could be seen.

"You look fine.

So, which way do we go?

There must be more people in either direction than people are coming and going, but you need to choose between them.

"You better get as close as you can to your destination.

We should go east. "

"Right."

When they decided where to go, they started walking down the street.

Demons have attacked several times along the way, but Ling Ji defeats them at risk with avant-garde and Miliers as rear guard.

It was when the sun began to descend a little from the summit that we arrived in people.

◆ ◆ ◆

The two of them arrived in a settlement that wasn't that big.

It is easily surrounded by a fence, but the entrance is also not particularly protected and anyone can pass through it.

"I got caught in a crowd... but this is the size of a village."

"Oh, it's convenient.

It's a big city, and I'm afraid the arrangements are going around, but a small village might not be good enough. "

Ling Ji, which has been arranged for nomination by the French State of Luxembourg, but given its efficiency, the arrangement would give priority to a large city with a large number of people.

To Ling Ji, who guessed and told him so, Miliez answered with a shoulder flaunt.

"Speaking of which, you were a questioner."

"I don't mean it, though.

Milieus, hide your head. "

"Mm, I can't help it."

Miliers has not arranged a nomination as an individual, but there is a risk that he will make a fuss just because he is a Demon.

The only way to hide your face with the hood is because if you can see its characteristic hair color and ears, you'll find out in an instant.

When she put the hood on her head, they went inside the village.

Because of the small village, there seems to be only a few grocery stores and a tavern.

With an Adventurer's Guild, we can gather information there, but it's not installed unless it's a city of some size on a boulder.

When it comes to collecting other information, it's a classic tavern, but I can't help but go because it's raw hatred and daylight. I'm also suspicious if it's open in the first place.

So the two decided to listen in on their current location and the direction of Luxembourg France while shopping appropriately at the grocery store.

"There you are."

Diving through the entrance to the grocery store, a loving middle-aged woman called out from the counter.

Ling Ji lowered his head slightly and gazed at the product in the store.

I don't need most of the stuff because I still need it in Ling Ji's item box, but I left most of the cookware outside when I transferred it, so it's not enough.

Although I managed to fool and deceive you while it wasn't enough last night, if you want to make up for the shortfall here, I want to make it up to you.

(With that said, I almost got the tools I needed for the trip... are the tenors okay?

I think about the two girls that I remember and have been parted from, but there's nothing he can do about it right now.

Only pray that Orlaine, who would be used to traveling, can do something about it.

"This, please"

"Yes, sir."

Take some cookware to the counter.

I was anxious to see if the money Ling Ji had personally would suffice because it was not that expensive, but it seems to be critical enough somehow.

"With that said, may I ask you a few questions?

"Hmm? What do you want to do?

Asking the general, who was calculating the cost of the goods, she tilts her neck.

"Actually, I was chased by demons on my journey and lost my way, can you tell me which way to go to Luxille France?

"Oh, a pilgrimage trip?

That was tough.

Lucille, you can go northeast from this village. "

Ling Ji draws a map in his head.

Apparently, the direction I was guessing from the map drawn by Henri Raven was roughly the same, although it was slightly south.

On Miliez's shoulder the raven spread both wings just saying dooya.

"Is this a neighbouring country?

How far to the border?

Additional questions while handing in the sum told and receiving the goods, but the general's reaction was not fragrant.

"Sure, neighbors are neighbors, but this village is closer to France because it's out of the country.

It won't even take that long to get to the border. "

"I see, I get it.

Thank you. "

"Aye.

Oh, yeah, yeah. If you're heading to Luxembourg, there's a passenger carriage coming through every three days.

I just went yesterday, so the day after tomorrow. "

"That's right. I'll think about it."

When she thanked the general, Ling Ji went out of the store with the cookware she had bought.

"So, what do we do?

Wait for the carriage?

Miliers asks Ling Ji, who is putting the cookware in the item box, from the side.

"No, you can't spend the day after tomorrow in this village on a boulder"

"Sure, that's a big loss of time"

"Besides, we can't go straight into France.

A boarding carriage would take you that far.

If you run away on the way, it's unnatural. "

If you go through immigration screening, you'll find out in one shot that Ling Ji has been arranged for a nomination and that Miliers is a Demon.

I can't use a handrail from the front any more than I can pass properly.

"That's right.

Doing so... "

Don't go on foot.

"... man"

Though slightly discouraged, Miliers also never expressed disagreement with Ling Ji's opinion.

"If you're tired, do you want to stay overnight in this village inn?

"Don't make it Moga, it's not a problem to this extent.

Besides... there won't be any money. "

"... right"

Ling Ji used the money she didn't have to buy cookware.

Miliers doesn't originally have that much money.

Even if you add up the rest of the money you two have, it's a suspicious place to see if it reaches the inn bill for both of us.

"With the guild, I think we can redeem the demons we defeated while we got here, but we can't do that in this village, either."

"Well, I don't need the money for what I'm walking on and doing wild boarding.

Shouldn't we try to defeat the demons as much as possible before we need them?

"That's the only way."

When they decided on the policy, they hurried the journey without spending a night in the village.

◆ ◆ ◆

"With that said, remember last night's story?

"Last night's story?

After a while I left the village and went east on the street, Miliez spoke to Ling Ji.

Ling Ji tries to remember last night, but she tilts her neck because she didn't know which one it was because she was talking about some things.

"Summoning possession of my abilities."

"Oh, that one?

What's wrong with that one?

Ling Ji's random summons possession skills were cited as tested, and Ling Ji also found out that Miliers was referring to it, but he still doesn't know what he wants to say.

"Sure, you could only use that skill once a day.

You'll be able to use it at night, so try it. "

"Nothing good, but why?

"I told you I had something to worry about.

I want to verify that.

However, I may need to repeat it several times, not once. "

"Well, no. Okay."

That interrupted the conversation, and eventually the two of them arrived at the camp by the time the sun went down and decided to light a fire there.

At night, I tried a random summons possession, as Miliers had requested, but this time as a result of my skills activation, Ling Ji dyed her blonde hair and looked like a piece.

Apparently, this time he summoned Tena's abilities.

"It's disgusting when you dress like that."

"Kah!"

"Because it's force majeure!

Note that it is only like an illusion embodied by magic, so I can't even take it off.

During the summons, dark magic was used to cook better, but the mental damage inflicted on Ling Ji was greater.
