Chapter 54 Part1

Part 1

A contagious troublesome nature.

As if there’s such a thing!

Being accused for nothing, the next day after we explore Dam Kingdom considerably, we headed to the prosperous shepherd’s Karnan Kingdom next.

Just in case, I go back to Earlshyde once at night to check if there’s information of devil’s invading.

But there’s nothing for now.

Even so, it’s a pain going back every single time.

Should I somehow make a wireless communication device?

「s.h.i.+n…… You, are you thinking enigmatic things again?」

「Not at all. More than that, Karnan Kingdom is famous for it’s fabric, right?」[TL: I’ve translated this incorrectly before, should have been fabric instead of textiles.]

「Yep, that’s right. Especially a cloth made from a demonized sheep is famous. Is there something wrong with it?」

「Nah, this mantle ya see, though it have heat adjustment and optical camouflage, I didn’t given it heal.」

「Heal?…… Ah, is it the case in Swedes Kingdom?……」

That’s right, granting that, will basically protect it’s wearer. But it is for that reason, that we cannot give it’s granted benefits to someone else.

If this mantle will be given the same 『auto heal』 like the uniforms such as the combat uniforms, Sicily would have not suffered as much in Swedes Kingdom. [TL: I guess he’s talking about Sicily healing the injured people.]

Because humans in this world, all have magic power, magic tools can still be activated even if you can’t use magic. Just like how Elly is using the mantle.

Then, Sicily wouldn’t have to felt sorry for not being able to treat a severely injured patient, someone can just be cured by simply continuing to activate the mantle granted with 『auto heal』.

If it was just a uniform, we can take out the blazer, but since it’s a combat uniform…… Sicily have to refrain from there.

「I’d like to give a new grant to the mantle. But now the mantle is full of characters, though I’m thought I can grant healing to the lining but I guess not.」***

「Why not buy a new one?」

「It would be good if I can use a demonized spider silk to make the cloth. Or it won’t be as good as the mantle or the lining. I have a hard time finding a cloth that can handle as much characters as the mantle.」

「Is that so.」

「That’s why, after arriving at Karnan Kingdom, I would like to look for materials for clothing to be used in the new mantle, but is that okay?」

「That’s fine, isn’t it? Karnan Kingdom is famous for it’s fabric, but it also have a diverse fas.h.i.+on. So I also want to look around here and there.」

「I, I see……」

Girls shopping…… Is there such a heart breaking word in this world? [TL: Guys usually suffer from this lol.]

When I said that I’m talking about the feeling of exhaustion when accompanying someone shopping……

「Sorry but, can we borrow Sicily, Olivia, and Elly? We’d like to go around with only the girls this time.」

What a good news! Only the women will go!

「That may be good. I was worried for Sicily when I’m going to look for the fabric, looks like it’s more fun going shopping with the girls. Is that okay with you Sicily?」

「It’s okay. Shopping with everyone will be fun.」

Sicily not sensing my inner delight, said it’s fine.

「Mei-chan?」 「I will also go with the older sisters!」

「I’ll ask you to take care of Mei. I said it yesterday, but it’s easy for us to get involved into trouble because of s.h.i.+n. Brace yourselves.」

『Understood!』

…… That harmonized neatly……

While being immersed in hopelessness whether this perception can be overturned, we crossed the border to Karnan Kingdom.

「Wah! It’s sheep-san (desu)! There too many of them (desu)!」

Crossing the border on foot, we once again flew to the sky, in a vast land full of gra.s.s, we saw a flock of sheep.

「It’s my first seeing from this viewpoint but…… it’s amazing, right?」

「Ah, a shepherd.」

Looks like Rin discovered a macho shepherd. You’ve been saying that yesterday.

「Indeed he got a great body! He looks strong!」

「I think he’s actually strong. A demonized sheep is more or less cla.s.sified as medium size. Unless you can defeat it, you can’t become a shepherd.」

「Seriously? They’re like a soldier.」

「Hey…… is that….」

While I was preoccupied by Thor’s explanation of Karnan Kingdom’s shepherd that became as strong as a soldier, Maria noticed something.

And when I turn my attention to that direction……

「……. It’s the moment as we talk about the shepherd. As expected, isn’t it s.h.i.+n’s characteristic to invite trouble?」

「No no! Besides me there’re others now!」

Just as we we’re talking about not becoming a shepherd unless you can defeat a demonized sheep…… a sheep just turned into a demon.

This is not my fault, alright!?

Putting that aside, there’s a demon, is it better if we subjugate it?

Or should we wait until the shepherd comes?

「Anyway, let’s get down for now. If there’s no shepherd in the vicinity, we’ll subjugate it.」

「All right.」

Floating magic is cancelled when everyone came down to the ground.

And when trying to see if there’s any shepherd nearby……

「Do oraaaaaaa!!」

A man who’s a lump of muscle jump out from a nearby bush with and brandish a huge axe.

Eh what is that again? A weapon with spear and axe together.

Hm, hmm……

「Halcyon!」 [T/N: LOL]

「It’s halberd.」

「……」

Uoo! So embarra.s.sing! And I voiced it out with all I got!

While blus.h.i.+ng for mistaking the man’s weapon, the man cut off the neck of the demonized sheep, and killed it.

A muscular body, holding a halberd instead of staff, a man wearing a robe different from a magician.

Yep, no doubt. That is a shepherd.

「Oh! Are you guys traveler? Are you alright?」

「Ah, yeah. We’re alright.」

「Even though it’s dangerous. Why are you in a place like this?」

「That’s not it, we saw a sheep turning into a demon, we thought it’d be bad if there’s no shepherd and no one subdued it.」

「Oi oi, that’s reckless. I can see you’ve just recently turn into an adult, right? It’s still early for you to hunt demons.」

「There’s no such thing. Look.」

Just a while ago, enemy search magic sensed a sheep on the verge of turning into a demon, and just now became a demon.

So I cast a wind blade magic towards it.

The demonized sheep’s neck was cut off in an instant, and fell down on the spot.

「See? We’re good, right?」

Seeing that scene, shepherd-san was struck dumb……

「Ahahahaha!」

And he suddenly burst into laughter.

「What’s with this lad! Aren’t you strong! And are you a magician!?」

「Oh, yeah, well.」

Shepherd-san seems to be having fun and was striking my back.

What great power! My back hurts!

「I see I see, but sorry, no matter how much you bring down the demonized sheep……」

「Ahh, it’s okay. We did not hunt the sheep because we wanted to.」

「My bad. You’re not supposed to handle a demonized shepherd, unless your a 『nationally recognized shepherd』 with a qualification like us.

「Eh, ehh……」

A shepherd has a national qualification!? Is there such qualification in Karnan Kingdom!

「A, anyway we can’t just leave the demon, so you don’t have to worry about it.」

「Is that so? My bad. Are you guys going to head for the Kingdom after this?」

「Yes, why?」

「Then, if you’re there, I recommend you to 『Shephard’s Clothing Store』. You guys have clothes and equipment for travelers after all.」

「Ehh, is that so? Thank you.」

「What, it’s nothing to thank for. You can secure a demonized sheep without effort. It should be me thanking you.」

「Ahaha, then it’s about time for us to go.」

「Ou, I am Garan, if opportunity presents it, let’s meet again!」

「I am s.h.i.+n. If fate allows it.」

Saying so, I shook hands with Garan-san, and left the place.

Nevertheless, I got a good information. Shepard’s Clothing Store, ne. Let’s go when we get to Karnan Kingdom.

「At any rate, that was some amazing body!」

「Yeah, he took it down with one blow, maybe a shepherd is stronger than a soldier in this country.」

「I’m talking about a nationally recognized shepherd, perhaps Karnan Kingdom’s shepherd might be an elite.」

From the knowledge of my previous life, a shepherd’s social status seems low but, it might be different from this country.

After finis.h.i.+ng our encounter with the national shepherd of Karnan Kingdom, we finally reached Karnan Kingdom.

After having a similar exchange to the time in Dam Kingdom at the entrance gate, we got an inn in the same way……

「Amazing! It’s so fluffy (desu)!」

「This is amazing, isn’t it? Even when compared to what I used in the house, the quant.i.ty of wool is much more?」

Like last time, we got a two big rooms for eight people, and when we gathered in one of them, Mei-chan dived into the bed and said so, and Elly who saw the amount of wool used on the bed muttered so.
