Chapter 148 (2/2)
Why is she reacting like that?
I decide to give her mine.
”My Lord～!”
”I hope you two can stop fighting.”
Frau bites into her rice ball and puffs up her cheeks.
Now, from this point on, the area is dominated by beastkin.
It is said that there many underground ruins and relics are often unearthed and discovered.
Apparently there are many places to go sightseeing. But given the situation we are in, we'll have to leave that on the back burner.
I have to meet the ancient demon king Roswell.
And I'm also concerned about the safety of my friends.
The Beastkin are building a great nation.
The name of the country is Galbaran.
They claim to be a great power and boast a territory that could fit many islands, including our own.
However, they have not yet taken control of this continent.
I had almost forgotten how frighteningly vast and terrifying the world is.
After a moderately long journey, we arrived at a remote city.
”So this is Galbaran...”
”That's a huge entrance.”
”That's right.”
”Kyui.”
It was supposed to be a border town, but it was as big as the royal capital of Armand.
At the entrance to the city, a muscular soldier dressed in a tight-fitting uniform was admitting travelers.
I took a look, and immediately I could tell he was someone very strict.
”Demons!”
”Damn it!”
”They're demons, catch them!”
”Glory to Lord Rudra!”
A group of demons whose true identity was revealed by a soldier are stopped before they could escape.
We, who were at the end of the line, shudder at the sight of the scene.
”Master, the soldiers have a seeker and an evaluator, what are we going to do?”
”This is not good. Our levels will be relieved...”
”Hey, aren't those demons Demon King Rudra's minions?”.
”Looks like it.”
I'm not sure if Rudra knows about us yet. Surely many demons escaped from the fort when we attacked.
And most likely Rudra has been informed.
I don't want to get involved with the demon king if I can help it.
Especially with Rudra, who seems to be troublesome.
”.”
It was our turn, and I slyly took off my disguise ring.
You have to go with the flow in these cases.
There's a chance we won't be evaluated.
I handed the soldier my adventurer's card.
”You seem to be an ordinary adventurer - what brings you to town?”
”We are looking for a place to sleep after a long journey, as well as food and water.”
”Mmm.”
The soldier quickly ran a pen across the paper.
Apparently this place doesn't seem to discriminate against humans, but they don't show any favoritism either, I think they're pretty neutral.
”I'd like to check your belongings.”
”My belongings?”
”Is there a problem?
”No, it's just that I have a lot of items in storage.”
”Well, in that case let me check what you're wearing.” ”That's fine.”
I have nothing to hide, so it's fine.
Suddenly, I notice a nearby soldier from the monkey tribe trembling at the sight of me.
He was gesturing a lot to the soldiers at the gate.
From this distance it looked like he was dancing.
”Hey, Senpai, these guys are dangerous!”
”What did your assessment detect?”
”I can't say, or we'll die.”
”Hueeeh?!”
Oh, so he saw my level.
That's why he's so nervous.
Kaede had already realized this, and rushed to handle the situation.
”If you keep quiet, nothing will happen to you.”
”Yes! I won't say anything!”
”Good, I like smart people like you.”
”Thank you!”
The soldier turned around and shouted at the monkey.
”What are you mumbling about, get out of my way and stay back!”
”Yes sir!”
The monkey who had checked my stats looks at me, salutes and then backs away.
Poor thing, I think he got really scared, he thinks I'm a monster.
I think it was a bad idea to take off my ring.
”I don't see anything strange. You can come in.”
”Thank you.”
As we passed through the door, the frightened monkey bowed to us.
