Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

We'll have a little early breakfast the next morning, and then we'll leave town.

Kerg to Pinning is about a couple of days by carriage.

Just a few hours if we run, but this time there's Mary.

Normally, I guess I'd be choosing a carriage, but from us, spending two days at a distance I can get to in a few hours is pretty awkward.

I guess that's also true of bandit crusade requests like the last one and things to see Mountain, but mobility is a means and not an end for us right now.

Therefore, our choice is usually on foot.

"That's why Mary and I run naughty"

"Uh, we can run, too, right?

"I'm feeling better!

To Toya's words, Mary puts on her ankle, Meatier just runs around and comes back near me.

As the word goes, it does look fine, and its speed is likely to be about that of a human adult male, but our running speed is not to that extent, and we will need endurance.

"I think I'm feeling better, but the pinning is a long way off. Be honest with me this time."

"Mm-hmm. Okay."

When I say that while stroking my head, Meatier nods a little dissatisfied.

"So shall we go? Nao, can you also detect the demons?

Copy that.

"Nao-kun, if you're tired, I'll take turns."

For once, Toya is supposed to carry Mary all the time and Meatier is supposed to take turns with me and Natsuki.

Yuki has a physical problem, and Hulka is not in charge because of a physical problem.

I plan to put in a break every 30 minutes to take turns and get to the pinning by noon.

"Do you want to go?"

"Go!

"Nice to meet you!

Meetia raises her energetic voice on my back and Mary clings to Toya reluctantly.

And then Hulka, Yuki, Natsuki, Toya, ran out in my order.

What we are behind is thinking about the effects of the wind.

Running at high speeds, air resistance works plain.

"Wow! It's fast! Fast!"

Meetia, it's a big shag.

It's a lot faster than a bike or something at speed, so I don't have to know what it feels like...

"Meetia, don't move too much"

"Oh, I'm sorry."

As an aid, Mary and Meatier are wearing 'Lighter Light Weight', so it's slightly lighter in weight, and it's not that hard because it's originally light, but when it moves, it's just out of balance.

And then running smoothly is plain tiresome so as to minimize up and down exercise.

That said, if I ran normally, the vibrations would be great and Meatier wouldn't hold them.

I'm working on it, too, but Toya's moves ahead are smoother than mine, and there's something about the Beast Man that's more eye-catching.

"Meetia, don't hesitate to tell me if it gets tough or you're not feeling well, okay?

"I get it!

He replied well that way Meatier, but he didn't seem to feel like an endlessly bad ride on my back, and I never heard from Meatier until the break half an hour later...... on the contrary, he was asleep. Slowly.

It is quite clever because it sleeps tight and clingy.

"Me! Wake up!

"Funya......? Are you there?

Shaken by Mary, who looks frightened, Meatier leaks her sleeping voice.

"Break! You're annoying Mr. Nao!

"Yeah...... get off. Huh."

When I dropped my hips, Meatier let go of her hand and went down to the ground, yawning.

"Good luck. Are you all right, sir?

"Well, I can handle it. I'm tired of trying not to shake it."

I stretch my hips and stretch as I answer Natsuki, who calls me with a bitter smile.

Given the comfort of the ride, I really can't move around my body freely and it's a bit harsh.

"Ugh! Mr. Nao, you should have rocked him for a little while. Everybody's running, but go to sleep alone!

Mary raises her hand and tries to slap Meatier in the head, but Meatier turns around behind me to run away from her sister like that.

"It's your sister who's not running. It doesn't help to stay awake."

"That's... yes. It's a matter of feelings!

"Well, well. If you sleep quietly, you'll know I don't have a problem with the way I run."

Would it be 'puffy' if it were to have a phonetic sound?

Forgive Mary for how she looks like that.

Meatier held on tight even as she slept, and hardly ever moved, making it easy to run outdoors.

Instead, if it sucks to ride and even vomit, that's worse.

"Right. That's not what I'm talking about, is it?

"Yeah, normally, I'm tired of being bruised for a long time."

"Yes, Meetia looks... fine, but let's take a break for a while"

After getting off me, Meatier walks around intriguingly, waking up as soon as she can.

Natsuki and the others laugh bitterly at how she looks like that, while sitting in the shade of a tree and starting to prepare tea.

"Really? If that's what you all say..."

Slightly dissatisfied, Mary says nothing more, sits down next to the Hulkas and looks at the objects they line up in an intriguing way.

What the Hulkas lined up was a treat that seemed to have several slightly higher calories in addition to tea.

Normally, eating such high calorie food every 30 minute break is something that seems fat, but it can actually be perfectly fine.

Running faster and more stamina doesn't change how much energy and hydration you need, so nourishing and rehydrating is essential.

Therefore, compared to when we were in Japan, our diet has increased considerably, but since we exercise accordingly, fortunately, it does not appear to have an adverse effect on our weight.

In addition to the treats, for meat-loving toya, sandwiches are also ready where provided.

"Shall we eat then?"

"Yes. Me! Come back here!

"Yes. I get it!

Mary calls me, I crouch into the ground a little further away, and Meatier, who was observing something, comes back and sits next to me.

I wipe my hands with the wet towel that came around from my neighbor Toya and I'll wipe Meatier's hands too.

At a time like this, is it a kind of stereotype that I feel cleaner to wipe with a wet towel than with a magical 'purification'?

"Thank you! Are you sure you want some?

"Oh, eat whatever you want"

"You did it!

"Ah, Me!

Haruka smiled and shook her head at Meetia, who did not hesitate to reach for the treat, as Mary blamed her a little.

"Eat Mary, too."

"Um... thank you"

Mary reached for the treat a little reluctantly, but after putting the first in her mouth and keeping an eye on her, she begins to carry two or three in her mouth as if she had forgotten to reluctantly.

Unlike us, Mary and I don't feel like eating sweets every time... well, it's a growing up, and there's an exercise machine in Japan that mimics horseback riding.

Even if I'm just on my back, I might be consuming a lot of calories.

If you're hungry, you won't eat, and as far as I'm concerned, if you don't eat too much and get reversed on your back, there's no problem.

"Hey, Mary. I was just wondering, what kind of beasts are the Marys?

"What, it's us? My father tells me he's a cat beast."

"Oh? Really?

Toya gives a slightly strange look to Mary's words in answer to Yuki's question.

"Yes.... anything?

"Uh, no, yeah. Nothing."

To Toya's vague words, Mary asked Toya in a low voice, but she didn't ask any more, but I was a little concerned.

"(What's wrong?

"(No, my [appraisal] says' tiger system ')"

"(... really?

"(Oh. Definitely)"

I will also try [nursing], but the only thing I can tell by my [nursing] is that I say 'beast man', and it doesn't show how many series it is.

Toya will be labeled 'Beast Man (Werewolf System)', but I guess this is because I've already heard and known from Toya.

By the way, from what I hear, it seems normal that you can't judge how many systems you are in person, who are beasts, either.

Dogs and wolves, cats and tigers. There is not much difference in the characteristics of the beast man.

Separate genes and the like are also common because of the further mixing of blood.

I guess it's different if it's a lineage with easy to understand traits, but parents tell me about the roots of my ancestors and so on, and it seems like it's often the first time to find out.

In the first place, we were only answered "Japanese" when we were in Japan because "my parents said so".

Even if there was foreign blood in it, I wouldn't know for myself if it wasn't characteristic.

"(It's a similar thing, and you don't have to dare point it out)"

"(Right. Maybe my father didn't even know)"

In fact, if it's the same size, I don't know the difference between the ears and tails of a tiger and a cat.

Except for the tiger-like characteristic stripes, Mary's has the same light brown color as her hair, and Meatier's has a gray monochrome that is similar to silver, with no pattern.

If the beasts marry each other, they'll have either parent lineage, but if the tiger and cat lineages marry, perhaps even the parents won't be able to make a decision?

Well, I guess it doesn't matter if you don't detain him.

Toya initially said that I was like, "Dog? When I asked him, he said," Wolf! "but... considering Mary's father, the ordinary beast man probably doesn't really care.

I wonder how important normal life is than being bound by such a thing.

"Speaking of which, I was able to leave the city without any particular problems, but what happens when I go in? Marys. You don't have a guild card or anything, do you?

If we go in and out of the city, we can get tax exemptions by presenting our guild cards.

This is because from frequent adventurers in and out, taking taxes every time doesn't make a living, but the Marys are not adventurers, nor can they register at their age.

"Parents - I mean, not necessary if you're with us. If you look like an adult, you may be taxed, but Mary and I don't have a problem with that, usually."

"Normally," it seems, is the gatekeeper's discretion around it, so there's not even a gatekeeper trying to put a trick on it and tip it off.

If you don't have something that can prove your age, the rest will already be judged by the rather subjective 'how old do you look', so even a few pieces of silver coins will make you somewhat accommodating.

"Even if you're obsessed, you can pay for it. It's cheap now."

"Right. It's not even enough to argue."

Since Raffan was one big silver coin, the same lord's ruling pinning, probably the same.

I don't have a sense of blue justice enough to argue with a gatekeeper about that extent, and we do.

There's some resistance to bribing, but even if it's something that doesn't need to be taken, it's tax.

"Um, is that good?

"Fine. I've decided to protect you, so I'll pay for it."

"Thank you"

"For that matter, I'll get you to work properly."

To Mary, whom I thank, Hulka said so and smiled.
