"It was a pleasure. It was delicious."

"Really? Good."

The sun sets and the fireplace flames warm and illuminate the hall.

Me and Mora were in the hall of the main tower.

We both realized we were hungry, so we ate our meals first.

Fortunately, the food was borrowed because the bandits had plenty to store.

Of course, it was Maura who broiled dried meat and cheese, cut the bread apart and simmered the bean soup. No, because you didn't have time for me to do anything, and you moved so tightly.... Now let's help...

I can't really afford to taste it on an empty stomach, and I feel it flattened out with fascination but it was actually quite delicious. Seasonings and the like are probably considerably more limited than in Japan, but there are only a lot of natural and fresh ingredients, and the food unexpectedly progressed. Well, the bread was black and hard.

"Uh, again..."

"Oh, yes."

I first decided to explain my circumstances. It's the mountains that want to hear from Mora about this world, but she'll have to trust me a little more first.

"I'm a long way from here - maybe one or two of the oceans crossed, from a country called Zitheias"

"Huh."

Zytheas was one of the countries I used in the "D&B" campaign and was set to be the country of origin of Geo. That's why it wouldn't be a lie.

"I don't know exactly why I came here. I think you've probably been involved in some kind of magic, some kind of magic accident. The bandits caught me flying all the way around here in an accident and losing consciousness... that's what I think"

"... I see"

Maura didn't listen to me properly, but she's obviously not convinced. I think it's a frigid story myself......

"That's why this region? Is it a country? I think there's something a little strange about it from common sense. But believe me that's all, I'm not a magician like a jerk, who swears to do harm to people"

Deeply bowing her head, Maura said to me.

"... ok. I believe you."

"Thank you"

"... Honestly, the first half is refreshing, right? But I'm pretty sure you're not a bad sorcerer."

"So far, that's good enough for you."

I stroked my chest down for good. In the meantime, let's push through with this explanation for other humans in the future.

"True, it's changed, Mr. Gio. He's a magician, he even has a family name, and he's kind to me."

"It's natural to be nice to women in my country. It's not great because you're a magician and you have a family name..."

"At least around the city of Lellis, where I live, nobles are the only ones with family names, and most people who can be magicians are nobles or even civilians who are quite wealthy."

It's still a world close to medieval Europe. The identity system seems to exist firmly.

"It seems a lot different from my country...... Oh, this is delicious, too"

I took a sip of the tea that Mora brewed for me... it seems to be sil tea... It has a refreshing bitter taste.

"Now, can you tell me the circumstances under which Mr. Mora was to be captured here?

To my question, Maura nodded again with her mouth in the word 'hee'.

Maura is the daughter of a dealer based in the city of Lellis.

The city of Lellis is an urban state belonging to the 'Lewis Alliance', a coalition of small states present around the gigantic lake 'Lake Lewis'.

Mora's father, Ilde, is a trader who has made quite a fortune, but still often leads his own caravan on journeys. Maura also said that it was her life to accompany the caravan as an assistant to her father.

It was yesterday morning that a caravan of Ill and Mora father and daughter, who were traveling the streets as usual, was attacked by bandits.

It's not actually the first time I've encountered a bandit. Instead, he said there was about once every three trading trips. However, the bandits, for the most part, only took about 30% of their loads and money in what they called tolls. I feel that when it comes to 30%, it is quite a bit of damage, but when traveling on more secure streets, they take toll taxes to the same extent at local lords' posts, etc., so they don't change as much as revenue and expenditure? Mora's father also seemed to have split the toll on the bandits as a necessary expense.

But only this time, the bandits have been rooting for loads and possessions. The escort was on, but he said he couldn't resist it at all because it wasn't the scale originally envisaged to eliminate the bandits. Furthermore, the bandits had kidnapped Mora and demanded five thousand gold coins from her father as ransom.

"So a bandit brought you to this fort..."

"Yes...... I've never been so terrible before..."

The bandits who have been paying tolls so far and the bandits in this fort seem to be the same people. Until then, what does it mean that they suddenly changed their policies, which were (relatively) moderate?

Uh, I guess if you unpetrify the jersey and ask what's going on... Honestly, I don't feel like it at all.

According to Maura's memory, I was brought to jail hours before I woke up. Thinking about it, I can also say that it was a good time to save her.

"I think my father is about to reach a nearby village. So ask the Knights for my rescue, or maybe I'm trying to get ready for ransom..."

"I see...... Now, hurry as soon as you can to the village tomorrow."

"Yes, thank you."

"It was a hell of a day..."

Maura was on the third floor of the main tower, and I decided to sleep upstairs and broke up.

The moon seen through the window looks the same as the original world.

I finally had a relaxing situation, but thinking was a pile. unfamiliar environments and behaviors (there's more to 'unfamiliar'!) and fatigue accumulates to the core of the body.

What if the bandits come back? Any way to get Maura home? And how will I live from now on?

Fortunately, the evening is still to come. Let's just say I think slowly while drinking some silk tea......

"Hey! How long have you been asleep?!?"

"... Ha!?"

The next morning, it didn't take long.

I was stuck at the command room table, and Mora woke me up.

He fell asleep thinking about it a lot. Last night was utterly defenseless....... you have to be careful.

"We also have breakfast. Yikes. Eat fast and leave!
