Chapter 27 – Kobold and Landslide and Egg Part 1 (1/2)

I’ve chosen, GMT +9, 8:00 PM to be the time I will normally post the chapters. It’s not good if I post at 4 am, 8 am or other times. Having a single time is really good. This is only for Maken no Daydreamer (Kuro no Maou, well whenever the edit gets done I will post, for instance, today’s chapter’s edits is still not done). I didn’t had much time to TL, so here you go with a part today.

Chapter 27 – Kobold and Landslide and Egg Part 1

We submitted the quest document to the reception of guild……maybe because the difference in rank, Riin-san sent me stare saying『Huh?』 – Well I, a rank B adventurer is taking on a rank E quest, it’s only natural – , now an hour later.

I and Elk, were ascending the mountain road of『Ritorasu Mountain』where the hut is located.

The mountain side would come in sometime, so we might be near our destination.

From conclusion, this『Ritorasu Mountain』was more safe compared to the『Labyrinth of Naga』 ……that might sound weird, but in this place there was not much danger from demons.

The demons which appeared, were mostly the ones I had already seen in『Labyrinth』, furthermore, Elk herself took care of most of them.

However only once, a demon appeared which I hadn’t seen in『Labyrinth』 ……it was a『Slime』, seeing it I got into high spirits for no damn reason.

A spindle-shaped face with a smile on it……it wasn’t anything like that, but its body was in liquid state centering around its core. It looked just like amoeba.

Its bodily fluids was acid, but everything would be over on throwing a stone from a distance and destroying its core, I still touched it once, but the acid didn’t had any effect on my skin. It didn’t even feel itchy.

Such being the case, without having faced any serious troubles, we were walking.

「Sigh. The air is so good. It would’ve been better to have brought a boxed-lunch」

「Stop changing a quest into a picnic」

Elk retorted, as always, in a fed-up voice.

So no good, huh. This scarf could change into picnic sheet, so I thought it was a good idea.

Incidentally, for reaching the hut, we left the path, and were no walking through some woodland path,

「Elk, it’s about the time we return, do you happen to remember the way back to the path? Like the direction and all」

「Of course, I’m checking time by time, it’s natural that I remember it. Though there is not much danger, but the fact that here is a mountain, losing focus will lead to being lost here. ……You don’t remember?」

「I did try to, but……not after 5 minutes from entering the mountain」

「……Ah, I see」

Apparently, I seem to have hardcore problem of having no sense of direction. I may have not been born with it from birth. No, I’m serious here.

Looks like I would have to trouble Elk from now on.

Well, I did remember the path to Guild and『Labyrinth』, but the path to sis’『Association』remained to be a mystery.

I made haste into coming here, because there was a possibility of getting lost……but Elk has expertise in that area, so it wouldn’t be a problem.

Incidentally, the path takes a little less than 5 hours on foot, and less than 2 hours on carriage, when coming from guild.

That’s why normally, when going to『Ritorasu Mountains』, in case a horse couldn’t be hired, many people lodge in inns present in villages en route, or camp en route.

So, the reason why, we both completed the whole distance in an hour even while having lunch en route, is very simple.

I carried Elk and ran while having my leg strength enhanced by the wind magic.

Also, for not letting her feel pain from the wind pressure, I once again used『Other Person Enhancement』to increase her basic physical abilities. She was glued to me, so it was even more easy to activate it.

Even so, she suffered from motion sickness……well, take it as a part of training.

「What the hell you mean by a part of training!? I was almost going to return the hot dog」

「Well, well, we were rushing, it can’t be helped, right. And, maybe in future, you, Elk, will also move by running that fast, so this is practice for it, only a practice」

「A future like that won’t come! I’m a normal human!」

「But, you too can use magic, right?」

「No, I do can use it, but that is……」

Ah, that’s right.

I never told it, but in truth, Elk can use somewhat magic. But, it really is somewhat, apparently.

The magic cannot be learnt by training, in the first place, it can’t be used at all by a person without talent.

In fact, half of adventurers, are muscle-man faction, with no relation to magic.

Elk had that talent, and specializes in using『Wind』attribute. But only when compared to other attributes.

However, because of her living environment as a child, she didn’t had any surplus to study under someone good in that line.

Her mother too wasn’t proficient in magic, aside from other techniques, she only learnt basic of basics in magic.

In the end, she couldn’t develop her magical talent, gave up on it, and learnt other abilities.

Thanks to that, currently she rarely ever uses magic. At most, she only uses it to ventilate the room and fan herself.

But, from my point of view that is really very much wasteful, I had thought of『Developing』her that area too, so I would include somewhat magic in training.

Fortunately, I had been taught about『Magic Arts』from mom until she drove it into my bones, on the contrary, I myself researched it later on.

Along the way, I created many other new magic which I couldn’t use, due to the problem of talent. (*tears*)

And so, if I recall all that, I would be able to teach her about magic, and some of my self-made tricks.

Naturally, they all are limited to the ones that have gotten safety authentication from mom.

That’s why, I thought it would be good if she learnt Taijutsu along with Magic, if there was something suited for her, I would teach that too……that was my plan, so I decided to tell Elk about it,

「Even so, I don’t think I would ever reach a level where I can run fast than a carriage and still be not out of breath, just like you I mean……」

「Is it like that? I think, if Elk trained more you can reach to this level?」

「What is your basis for that?」

「Intuition」

「……Oh great」

[ET: This is sarcasm]

[AK: …..Oh great, boss]

Elk gave up, silently. ……Had she thought, that it would only get tiring by talking anymore?
