Chapter 5 (1/2)

Re-Summoned Hero Episode 5

『Who are you?』

Without any hostility against Souta who has defeated the surrounding demons, he asked that question with a doubting looks.

Although there is an exchange of words between demons, it was said that it is impossible for a demon to speak a human language.

But Wolf Emperor talks using human language and asking questions to Souta.

「Can you talk?」

『I don’t admire returning questions by question. But let’s answer that question, 「I can speak」.』

During the interaction, Souta was holding Izayoi, but because it can communicate and have no hostility for now, he release his stance and put the sword back to scabbard.

『Fumu, you finally sheathe your weapon, I don’t need to mind about being cutted down.』

「Well, looks like you really doesn’t have any hostility.」

『Then I will ask again, who are you?』

I slightly think about that question.

「…… Who… you said? I’m just a bit strong traveler.」

Wolf Emperor looking around the dead body of monsters scattered around while sighing.

『Fumu, Let’s just say I’m convinced with your answer if you don’t really want to answer it, although the current situation doesn’t say so.』

『So are you also going to kill me?』

The moment he ask about it, the presence of Emperor Wolf increased and he sent a sharp glare to Souta, though it’s without hostility.

「No, I won’t fight if you don’t oppose me. these guys just came to me and if left alone they seemed to develop into big monster stampede, that’s why I stuck my hands in. Well if you are going to do it, then yeah, I will be your opponent.」

Even under a strong gaze, I answer light heartedly.

『No, if that’s the case then it’s better if you overlook me. It doesn’t looks like I have any chance to win.』

「I think you also seem quite strong. Well not only against me, I hope that you never hostile against my close friend, I won’t overlook it if it happens (Well, not like I have any right now).」

Although the way of saying it was light, the wolf feel the weight of the word swallow loudly.

『Of-of course. I have never hostile against human…… excluding cases when I’m attacked.』

「That’s good. Let’s make it you owe me one for me overlooking you now. When I am in trouble and you ar able to do something … Well that’s not going to happen, but lend me your power at that time.」

『I understand. Let me swear on the name of my previous master.』

Like that the Wolf leaves the spot in the moment.

「…… There is something that bothering me … Was it tamed by the previous master? It should be difficult to do so to something at that level. Well, There are other places where you are under a demon, but it is a rare story that it’s still that loyal to say that even though it was released. I don’t quite understand.」

I’ll think about it later, concluding that I don’t know, I store the monster magic stone and material scattered around me in the dimensional storage without dismantling it.

One of the dimensional storage remodeling functions, the material of monsters that have once been stored is disa.s.sembled and stored.

The storage is divided into 「summoned first time」 and 「summoned second time」 folder, and the material destination is in the latter.

「Well, first of all I need to remove the blood that get on me. Clean clean(1).」

I clean up oil and blood on clothes and equipment. I also taking out the iron sword from before and put back Izayoi on dimensional storage.

「Now then, I need to go to city of adventurers quickly to sell the material.」

After pa.s.sing through

the forest, and the small village the soldiers told me, I keep running and head towards the city of adventurers.

Souta ‘s legs are fast, he keep running at speeds far exceeding those of ordinary adventurers. Because he is also strengthening leg strength by magic, it’s less tiring.

However, because it is difficult to run at night, I decided to take a rest with a tent from the dimensional storage.

I’m seasoning the meat of the monster killed in the forest and eat food grilled with bonfire.

It was supposed to take a long time to go there with horse carriage from that village, but Souta was drastically shortening the period with his physical ability.

A few days later

Town of the adventurer 「Toura」

Like the castle town, the town is covered with an outer wall like a circle.

There are two guards stationed in each gate in the east, west, north and south of the city, and the persons entering the town are checked.

In front of the south gate

「Is this the first time you come to this city?」

「Yeah, I’ve traveled from the south.」

「Do you have anything that can prove your ident.i.ty? If you don’t have it, the entrance fee is five silver coins and then touch this crystal.」

Souta puts her hands in his pocket and connects it with the dimensional storage and takes out five silver coins. From the guards viewpoint it seems that he took out the silver coins from his pockets.

「1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, I have received it. Next is this crystal, to confirm the criminal record.」

I touch the crystal. It flas.h.i.+ng for a moment but settled immediately, the crystal remains transparent.

「There is no criminal record, no problem. Once you created your ident.i.ty card in town, and bring it here within one week, I will return the silver coins. The ident.i.ty card can be registered in the adventurer guild or you can make it at the government office. If you have confidence in your skills, the best choice is the guild, if you have a guild card it can be used as a pa.s.s in other towns.」

「all right.」

「The adventurer guild is going straight ahead on the main street, and the government office is nearby so you should see it.」

「Thanks for everything.」

I advance to the adventurer guild while saying goodbye to guards.

The adventurer guild he arrived at was more lively and wider than when Souta visited during the last journey.
