Defiled Hero Chapter 007

Defiled Hero

Laketown

Laketown. Being about three times bigger than the town of Arona, the activity on the streets was incomparable.

Although the town was not distant, Arona was located in a remote region sticking out the front of a mountain. The incomparable cost of distributing goods was why they were so comparatively different.

We entered the town through the gate and continued forward with the carriage, pa.s.sing by people walking down the street and others cleaning things. Along the street were several stalls lined up selling various items. If there are good items I might buy them later.

『Izayoi! I’m not getting a response from Allele-chan, but I can feel a bit of her power! 』 (Astrea)

(I see, even if she’s still alive, the situation doesn’t seem good.) (Izayoi)

『Yeah, I’m worried...』 (Astrea)

We continued for a bit until we arrived at the local lord’s mansion. As we descended from the carriage, a servant-like 60 year old man came to greet us.

「Well well, we have been waiting for your arrival. ...Hmm? Who could this be?」 the servant said as he looked at me.

Aaron then placed his artificial arm on my shoulder.

「We found a pretty capable adventurer in Arona. He knows s.p.a.ce magic and helped out transporting the cargo.」 (Aaron)

「Indeed it seems so. I am a servant of Lord Alfred, Lloyd.」 (Lloyd)

「I’m Izayoi. Where’s a good place to put the cargo?」 (Izayoi)

「Ah yes, over here. Please wait for a little bit, Aaron-sama. Lord Alfred will be here momentarily.」 (Lloyd)

「Nah, we’ll say our goodbye here. We’ve gotta move on to the next town. Since this kid was here with us, our job was a lot easier. …give the local lord our thanks.」 (Aaron)

The old men got on the carriage and left, waving goodbye to me.

「Izayoi-dono, stay well.」 (Bratt)

As the carriage quickly departed, I was left standing alone with the servant Lloyd.

「It is regretful they had to leave. Well then, this way please Izayoi-sama.」 (Lloyd)

To the side of the estate was a storehouse. In the storehouse normally sealed with a strong magical lock, Astrea withdrew and placed 21 wooden boxes.

「Amazing, Izayoi-sama truly has a large storage capacity.」 (Lloyd)

Only a small fraction of magicians could use s.p.a.ce magic. Typically s.p.a.ce magic users had a large capacity. I can carry up to roughly 2 wooden boxes, while the stronger magicians had a maximum of 10.

Truth be told, I can’t use s.p.a.ce magic. I’ve always deposited and withdrew from Astrea’s infinite storage s.p.a.ce. There isn’t a limit to her storage… I think.

『Astrea’s s.p.a.ce? It’s not a storehouse you know? I don’t want you to overuse it you know?』 (Astrea)

(Aah, I see.) (Izayoi)

Since Astrea seems displeased from being overused, I’ll handle things myself and refrain from letting other people use it as much as possible.

「It would be better if others were not told about my s.p.a.ce magic.」 (Izayoi)

While grasping the sword hanging on my shoulder, Lloyd who saw it spoke, 「Understood. I will not conduct such an action, do not worry.」

「Then my job is over. Allow me to take my leave.」 (Izayoi)
