Chapter 82: To the First Destination

“And? Where is the closest village from here?” (Hiiro)

Hiiro asks Silva, who is walking in front of him, while he rides on top of Mikazuki

Their final destination at the moment is [Xaos] but it was still extremely far away They aren’t in any particular hurry so they planned to travel at a leisurely pace

His objective was to reach [Xaos] and visit the [Fortuna Grand Library] so that he could read the books and materials available only to royalty and people of equal social standing

Aside from his objective, Hiiro also wanted to look around the Dees and other sightseeing places en route to [Xaos] For that purpose he leaves the duty of guiding him to Liliyn and company, who are much more familiar with the Demon World than he is

Of course, Hiiro only required Liliyn for achieving his objective It wasn’t like he approved of her traveling together with hiht of her adht that he could use his connection to her to his advantage in order to increase his chances of being able to read the aforementioned books

As a result of that thinking, though Liliyn is certainly a troublesoether with her However, it wasn’t like he was planning on a peaceful journey He determined that if they were to ever become troublesome or useless he would immediately separate from them

At the ether with the the Demon World, which is why he

was asking where the closest village was The one who ansas not Silva, but Liliyn

“The closest from here would be the [Asura Race] in the [Raohrb Desert] Isn’t that right, Silva?” (Liliyn)

“You are correct In my opinion, however, I believe it would be best to avoid that place…” (Silva)

Hiiro frowns at Silva who anxiously said so

“What do you mean?” (Hiiro)

“The [Raohrb Desert] is an extreerous place” (Silva)

“Hou2” (Hiiro)

“A boundless desert stretches across the horizon, but rather than the extre the [Asura Race]” (Silva)

“Hm? The [Asura Race] is a species of [Evila], aren’t they? Is there really a problem?” (Hiiro)

“I’m afraid there is Their race controls the desert I have heard that they do not take well to outsiders trespassing in their territory” (Silva)

Hiiro has heard that the different species of Evila don’t interact much with one another Of course there are exceptions, but to the [Asura Race] it seems to be an obvious rule It’s possible that they hate others that enter their territory

“But they won’t suddenly attack us, will they?” (Hiiro)

“…” (Silva)

“Oi3, what’s with the silence?” (Hiiro)

Silva moves closer to Hiiro and whispers into his ear

“Ojou-sama4 is also an [Evila] Well, Ojou-sa to basically think of her as the typical [Evila]…” (Silva)

Hearing that, Hiiro inadvertently looks towards Liliyn and remembers when he first met her and the few days that followed after

“Mu5? What is it?” (Liliyn)

(That’s the typical…? Does that mean that I should be wary of the [Evila] as a whole…?) (Hiiro)

Suddenly being tested by poison, extres, suddenly forcefully being asked to be her servant Hiiro understood Liliyn as being an extremely abnormal existence

Speaking of which, Hiiro also heard that the maid, Shamoe, had also been driven away by the [Evila] In other words, he detere how he thinks of the [Evila] from now on

Hiiro believed they wouldn’t suddenly attack without warning, but he would need to be prepared for anything since it wouldn’t be strange for the unexpected to happen

“Speaking of which, what kind of people are the [Asura Race]?” (Hiiro)

Hiiro thought that having even a little infor a way to protect himself

“Hmm, about that…” (Silva)

Silva looks apologetic

“What? You don’t know anything?” (Hiiro)

“Please forgive me The [Asura Race] do not leave the desert often, and I hear that their population is relatively low Therefore there is very little infor them I have only heard that they once forcibly expelled people who had accidentally entered the desert” (Silva)

“I see So only rumors…” (Hiiro)

If that’s the case, Hiiro can’t completely trust what Silva says However, there’s no s similar probably happened Either it is exactly as the rumors state, or… they may be an even more problematic race

“What shall we do? Shall we continue towards the desert?” (Silva)

“I wonder…” (Hiiro)
