55 51 Whether its a promise or not, its not always necessary to keep the tacit understanding (2/2)
I walk silently along a decent width for about a hundred meters toward the exit, and after a while I see the exit light.
Oh.
”Welcome to Isreal,
We were greeted by a sea of trees that would be over a thousand years old on earth.
And then
”It must be full of magic.
Yes, everything has magic in it and is made out of it, that's our world.
Even in the cave, the air is filled with magic.
It was similar in density to the feeling I had in the company.
Do you like it? First time in another world
”No, I thought it would be more surprising, but maybe that's because I've been in the dungeon every day.
Maybe it doesn't feel real yet.
”Yeah, maybe.
The only things that are different from the earth are these overgrown trees and magical powers.
It would be a different story if a magical beast appeared in this, but for now, I don't have the emotional impulse to feel that this is another world.
Maybe it's because I don't feel like I'm in another world yet.
The sky is bright, though.
Yes, after all, there is no 'night' in this world.
”Oh, that's right, the night stopped when the Lord God of Memoria and his friends left this world, didn't it?
”To be precise, the phenomenon of night disappeared when the god Luine left this world, right?
Full of blue sky.
Looking up from the bright sea of trees at the blue sky with a glimpse of clouds, I thought to myself, ”I've learned this beforehand, but I still can't believe it.
There is no night.
That's impossible.
A star cycles through the process of repeating sunrise and sunset by rotating around the earth's axis.
This is a natural phenomenon for a spherical star.
How is it possible for a star to be without it?
”You don't know the details, do you?
”Yes, the facts and realities of what the Lord God Luine says only prove that there is no one who knows the realm of God.
It's just a fantasy, isn't it?
From Jiro's point of view, it seems to be true. Since very little is known about it in the literature and it's 5,000 years old, I'm sure only a few of the species living here today know about it,
It took me a while to understand it the first time I heard it.
When I first heard about this story from Suela and the others, I remembered the world on a giant turtle shell as my first source of prior knowledge.
I wondered if the geocentric theory had been rejected and the celestial theory was the mainstream here, but with no convenient satellites here, it's still not a problem that can be proven either way.
There is a faction of people who want to get in touch with the study of the earth to find out that too, but that will be after they return to Isreal.
You will be able to find out what is going on in this world by simply saying that it's magic or God.
The majority of the demon king's army that you learned with is living in the other world continent, hollowing out the islands to form a world like a snow globe, as long as you hear that such a phenomenon is natural.
In fact, I learned first that such a thing should be accepted like learning a new formula, or else you'll never be able to let go of your headache or stomach pills.
”Huh, so where are we?
And there is no need to discuss and answer the mystery of how this world came to be here.
Action comes from learning, take a deep breath to clear your mind, you would normally smoke a cigarette here, but the number of cigarettes you have in your limited luggage is limited.
It's a non-replenishable item, you must smoke it carefully.
The plan is to find out your current location from the mountains and rivers, and then head to the city where your destination is located.
It's on schedule: ......, but it's still a long way to go.
We're aiming for a location far enough out of the way to avoid detection.
I'm a member of the demon king's army, and of course Memoria is a vampire, and I belong to the demon king's army, even though I'm human.
This is enemy territory, and as intruders from another world, we are, shall we say, uninvited guests.
We need to be very careful about our actions.
Over here.
”Oh.
And even if you are away, it's better to leave the place immediately.
There is no chance, you had better act fast to eliminate the danger.
I'll follow Memoria as she pulls out a map and checks the direction.
”The city we're going to is a major trading town, right?
Sakal, a trading post without any national affiliation, a city with many different species.
You are not silent as you walk, and the topic of conversation naturally turns to the next city.
Sakar, the city of trade, is a place that everyone wants to own, but it is an independent place that has formed its own culture that does not belong to any country.
The security is also maintained by the powers of the city, not the state.
It is profitable enough to maintain its culture even though it is surrounded on all sides by three major powers plus the union.
Because of its foundation, each country wants to intervene, but if you run off, the other countries will beat you up.
I was more than surprised when I heard the fact that when people like us are able to enter the city, we don't know what's going on behind the scenes.
It's a familiar city in novels with a theocracy in the north, an empire in the west, a kingdom in the east, and a coalition of small nations in the south. Certainly, this is a good base to meet the purpose of this trip.
I think two countries would be a good place to go, given the time frame. We'll gather information and then move on, maybe even less.
”Safety first, that's a prerequisite.
We continued walking through the tree line, clearing the trees from time to time to make a clear path and making plans for the future.
It's a bit of a difficult hike.
If this goes on as planned, it will last about five days, and of course, there is no hotel or building to stay in such a sea of trees, so you will have to camp out.
A business trip to the woods is a novelty.
Did you hear that?
”Yes.
Apparently, the picnic mood is over.
The distant sound of a tree falling and a bird taking flight can be heard in the distance.
Two hours into your walk, your pacing comes to a halt and you look around to pay attention to your surroundings instead.
Don't come around.
”It seems to follow the scent
”A Hexenbiest?
”Yes.
The sound of something huge moving is coming from the path we've been on.
We're familiar with these monsters in games and novels.
We're in a dungeon, so you won't have to worry about it and you'll know what to do next right away.
Let's go!
Well, that would be clever.
Maybe if anyone here has ever read an interworld transfer novel, ”Huh? And the question will come up.
Most people will fight or run away after they meet you.
In the former case, the first fight would be the event that would awaken your abilities or get you into the city to help and take you there.
The latter would be similar.
But not in my case.
One of the common sense of working people.
Don't take extra risks or do extra work.
Taking the time to fight here, taking the time to consider the advantages and disadvantages of slaying a hexenbiest, of course it comes down to an escape strategy.
Don't laugh at the shamefulness.
Fighting is a time-consuming and physically exhausting process.
Even if the advantages of materials such as monster skins and the strengthening of the magical crests are still an advantage, your goal right now is to reach the city.
Spending extra time and extra energy will interfere with your future plans.
Sometimes pulling back is part of the job.
To conclude, your current course of action is not to fight and defeat the hexenbiest, but to run away to conserve your energy and gain more distance.
Now, please.
”Copy that.
When you come here, you will be holding a memoria that has severely restricted your abilities, and you will be running with magical strengthened bodies.
The first job I did after arriving in the other world (Isual) was to escape from a magical beast.
