Volume 2 - CH 118

I was thanked so much by the village chief and the villagers of Kosh village that I was a little too well treated.

So we decided to leave immediately the next day and are now on our way to the Kingdom of Garott by carriage.

A couple of days after leaving the village …… we should be able to enter the territory of the Kingdom of Garot by the end of …… the day.

I was prepared for another attack by bandits in the Yagul Mountains, but there was no such thing.

I checked with my haze and the only thing left where the Mage Unit was located was a swamp, and no matter how much I searched the surrounding area, I didn’t spot a single person.

I don’t think the bandits I dropped in the swamp had died, but I was a little worried because I couldn’t confirm …….

However, I set the depth of the swamp to be just deep enough to prevent them from sinking down, so I’m sure they’ll be fine. ……

Well, we made it back to this point without any significant attacks.

We could see many fields and villages beginning to emerge.

I wondered why the return journey felt so much faster than the trip to the destination, as I gripped the reins of the Starhorse.

But there was one thing I regretted a little.

I had completely forgot to make that bastard drink the mana potion.

After overhearing the story, they felt sorry for him. (Alena and Satella)

He had it all coming to him.

I swore to myself that the next time I see him, I’m going to shove a mana potion in his mouth without question.

His name was Houen, right? …… I memorized it, you little shit.

If it comes to combat, my water-based skills will be able to handle him.

That fire-based skill was powerful, but it would be no match for water.

Although, he was a little bit similar to Reizen, wasn’t he?

He’s not the sharpest guy in the room, but when it comes to fighting, he’s very strong.

He could incinerate such a large area.

Even in the rain.

We should assume that his skills were quite strong.

“A-niki”

Then Reizen came out from behind me.

He was supposed to be the playmate of Alena and the others until a few minutes ago. ……

When I checked behind me, I found that everyone was asleep.

They were probably tired of playing.

Uchikage is allowed to sleep through the night.

I was a little impressed with how he could sleep amidst the noise of Alena and Satella.

Reizen sat next to me, looking out at the scenery and talking to me.

“What are we planning to do from now on?”

That being said, I suddenly think.

At some point, I’ve already added a lot of things to my plans.

I’ll take this opportunity to rearrange them a bit to make things go more efficiently.

First, let’s start with …….

“Ah. First, I will bring Alena and Satella back to the Kingdom of Garott. There is a man named Varadim, who used to be Alena and Satella’s father’s bodyguard, and I will leave Alena and Satella with him and let them rebuild their territory.”

“Eh-! Alena and Satella were young noble ladies ?!”

“You didn’t know, did you?”

“Because they don’t really talk about themselves.”

Well, that’s true too.

I heard their parents or something were killed in front of them, they fell into slavery, and they don’t even want to talk about …… the past.

But the question is whether those two will cooperate in the reconstruction of their territory.

I mean, they’re still kids, and they probably don’t know the word “responsibility” yet.

I think both Varadim and Asure will support them, although it is hard to say how many people will follow …… them.

Well, the decision is theirs.

It’s not up to me.

All I can do is agree with what they have decided.

I told this to Reizen, but he didn’t seem to understand it.

How could he not understand that?

“What will you do after that?”

“We will register as adventurers in the Kingdom of Garott and then go once back to the Zenki-village This can be done in a single day, so it won’t be too long.”

“When you say Zenki-cillage, do you mean the hometown of …… Uchikage?”

” Hmm, it’s hard to say. Well, it’s where Uchikage’s family is.”

“Oh!”

Reizen seems to be interested in Zenki-village.

They are all very Japanese-like, after all.

You can find things that were only told in old folklore, so of course he would be interested in it.

When I saw it, I was excited too.

But I didn’t have the time to show it.

At that time, the princess and Tenda were in a lot of trouble.

However, because we helped the Oni, we were able to help Alena and Satera.

I’m really glad I helped them.

Well, I’ll have to tell them about us anyway in the Zenki-village.

I was still a snake at that time, and they’re going to be surprised when they find out I’m in human form, aren’t they?

I’m sure they’ll be more impressed that we can talk to each other.

Whatever the case, I’m looking forward to going there.

“And after that, we’ll go back to the Kingdom of Salettana again.”

“Again? Why?” 

“I’ve got some promises to keep over there. The most important thing to do is to take care of the experimented people by Lequam back. I’m the only one who can cure that curse.”

It’s been a while since then.

I wonder about those slaves.

Maybe some have already died. ……

No, let’s not be so pessimistic.

I will help them as much as I can.

After that, I need to check on the four kids I left at Irza’s place.

I’m sure there’s no problem, but I’ve left them to her like I forced her to.

At least I have to show my face.

Also, Dolce.

We need to help these children who are falling into slavery.

This is a task that will take a considerable amount of time.

I think it would be a good idea to offer these things to the king of the Kingdom of Salettana or something like that. ……

Well, maybe we can talk to him after we meet him in person.

“That’s about it for now.”

“…… you already have a full schedule already”

“Perhaps I’m being too naive?”

“I don’t think so. In my previous life, I never see something like a slavery, and there is no problem if you are doing what you think is right. We have different values.”

“…… are you really Reizen?”

“Awwh, Come on!”

I was a bit surprised because I didn’t expect such words to come out of Reizen’s mouth.

But I understand what he said.

I’m probably too naive for the people of this world.

Whatever they say, I don’t care.

I don’t think I can make a change in the system of slavery, but I can at least exclude children from it.

Let’s work on that later.

“Ah, yes. Is there anything you want to do, Reizen?”

“Me? Hmmm……… I can’t wait to do the adventurer’s work!”

“Yes, you are right. This time, I have to travel, so I can’t work in the Kingdom of Garott, but if I note down the gathering requests, I might be able to accomplish them in the Kingdom of Salettana.”

“Oh, ……, I also thought of that …….”

“Really? This is kind of a gamble, isn’t it?”

We don’t know whether what is needed in the Kingdom of Garott is also necessary in the Kingdom of Salettana.

But I heard that there are a lot of F-rank requests for gathering requests.

There is a possibility that the same request will be made in the Kingdom of Salettana.

We may be able to count on that.

Well, I’ll have to ask them if it’s okay to do these things or not.

It’s probably okay …….

Oh, by the way, when you form a party, you have to come up with a party name.

I don’t remember if there was a limit to the number of people in a party.

Well, three or so people would be fine.

While we were talking about this, Reizen rolled over on his upper body and lay down.

He looked at the sky and smiled with satisfaction

“Well, I’m looking forward to it! Isn’t this world fun?”

“Oh, it sure is fun. It sure is fun. Though there are so many things I have to hide that it puts me at a bit of a disadvantage.”

“Ah, your skills are very unusual, aren’t they?”

“I’m sure it’s fun. I’m having a great time. I’m doing a lot of things I couldn’t do in my previous life.

“Wait a minute. I thought you had amnesia?”

” I mean, you wouldn’t be able to do this if you had a normal life, right?”

“Oh, that’s true.”

As the two of us were talking about how glad we were to have come to this world, we finally saw the walls of the Kingdom of Garott, albeit in the distance.

I had already explained to Reizen about Asure, and I was sure that Baltic would be there to welcome us.

We can see it from a distance ……, as always it’s a big castle.

But it still looks smaller than the Kingdom of Salettana.

The reason why it looks so big is probably because of the mine next to it.

I wonder what is happening to the workers in the mines now?

The workers are no longer so useful.

Illegal slaves are probably being retrieved and …… well, we’ll find out when we get there.

That’s how we were able to come back to the Kingdom of Garott.
