Chapter 7 (2/2)

Ria asked to make sure, reconfirming her intentions.

“It’s probably my parent’s blood. I feel that I also want to go on a journey.”

The half-elf that was dying like a dog from hunger on the roadside had become extremely splendid.

As a travelling companion, Lulu was definitely ideal.

Receiving Rufus’ instruction in magic, her skill was probably considerable within the country.

Above all, she had things that Ria didn’t. Things like timidity and prudence.

Before long Agatha joined them, and the four surrounded the dining table. Fei had already married and had a family, staying in this special store to this day.

After returning to the royal palace at midnight and receiving a court lady’s scolding, she returned to her room.

When opening the door of the walk-in closet that was attached to the bedroom, one side was decorated with weapons.

The first thing to prepare was the magic pouch. Putting everything in the room into it would fill it up; the effects of s.p.a.ce-time magic were valuable. She carefully selected what to put in.

Dresses were unnecessary. Precious metals and goods that could be sold for money would packed as much as possible.

She had only one ring and dagger with the carved seal of the royal family.

The problem was weapons.

In this world, because the only weapons used in active duty were swords, the skill of blacksmiths was exceedingly high. Perhaps even j.a.panese katanas produced from the Edo period wouldn’t be able to compete with them.

Although she had the chance to appreciate the important cultural a.s.sets and national treasures in her previous life, she preferred old katanas. Of course modern swords were actually checked to see if they could kill in practice, old katanas were beautiful. Moreover someone that had actually used an old katana would say that they were excellent.

The manufacturing methods for steel and katana production was not pa.s.sed down, Ria also thought that her previous life was thoroughly sacrilegious.

She took as many iron katanas as possible. Although she took as many katanas made from mithril as possible, in terms of strength and endurance, the cutting power of a steel katana far outstripped it in many cases. Mithril was a metal with a high affinity for magic.

Not just katanas, but swords were taken as well. Furthermore, she took as many war hammers, battleaxes, spears, knifes and so on as possible.

Ria was not much of a collector, though she did have a collection of weapons in her previous life.

Although she did regret dying, she wondered what happened to her sword collection. She thought it would have been nice if it wound up in the hands of someone who understood their value.

Especially the great Nagasone Kotetsu’s famous longsword, it wasn’t something that could be obtained by mere money. Having it for one week, she appreciated it while grinning. Although thinking back to it now, the katana had an ominous and devilish feel to it.

Ria woke up the next day and dressed like normal, tucking the magic bag up her sleeves.

As usual, she went to Anise after jumping down from her window. In the main street’s plaza, Lulu waited with a donkey. Next to her was Agatha.

“Mother.”

After only that they embraced each other.

“Even if it is pointless to say, please don’t do anything unreasonable. Troubling Lulu is no good.”

“Don’t worry, since Lulu won’t let something become dangerous.”

Right, Lulu played the important role of a stopper. Rather, it was the main role.

“We’ll be back within two years.”

“Send me letters.”

“Okay.”

They separated while waving at each other. The front gate opened at dawn, and the two left Anise by slipping in with the peddlers.

“Well then, where to?”

“How about a labyrinth city to start??”

By the way, in Ria’s room in the royal palace, a single sentence was left.

[I am going out to find people even stronger than me.]
