Chapter 66: Looking at the departing back (1/2)
“So it has been carried out It’s been a while since we had such a busy day”
A man in the pri at a certain direction on top of a castle wall’s pathway
This place is Tsige’s northeast departh castle walls, only the northeast department is different
From the northeast exit there is a wide beautifully paved path that extends forth
The wall that protects the city is just as it is, it stretches out on both sides of these big path That length goes on onto the horizon and one couldn’t see its end
It is called the Golden Highway It is the safest and highest priced path in this world The width reaches 10 oes froe, fro city, Robin City Each nation maintains and io in and out, without exception, are protected by a tall wall There are even cities that were created in turn of this path and have evolved froe aoods safely, so that important people canon iht transhway is utilized
Because the cost to use is pretty high, there are practically no pedestrians or adventurers in sight Even if there are, it would be to protect people that are looking for even more safety than it is already provided
Also, in various towns that work as relay points, ic formations are set, so it is made in the form that you are able to transfer one after the other in the different towns that are connected to the highway
Raidou, who has left Tsige today, didn’t walk through the highway He used the nuic formations to head to the far away Academy Town But even from those relay points, the arrival to their destination will take long In the direction that the prime man and the man who has his whole body clad in black look, there is no doubt that “he” is there
“You are totally right Even if they transit without resting, for them to reach Academy Toould take up to 3 days”
“Yeah But wouldn’t it have been fine to at least have Lisa and the girls see him off? Even if their hair is a bit short, I don’t think Raidou-dono would ”
“Fu And so, Morris…”
The e the topic fro off an acquaintance, nor the eyes of a father thinking about his family
“What is it?” (Morris)
The man called Morris must have noticed, he responds to his master somewhat stiffly
“Tomoe-dono and Mio-dono From your eyes, how do they look like to you?”
“In terth, no matter which one, I would have to raisetrades, Mio-sama would bethat doesn’t leave a bad after taste I think that they are ladies that match their level”
“… So that’s how it is huh Well, the words “I knowlent a spot” that Tomoe said… I have no other choice but to believe in them What about the people from Kuzunoha Company stationed at our store?”
“I have talked to theet, the dwarfs are craftsmen The other ones that I saith Tomoe-sama once, from what I could see, they seemed hyuman but they had brown skin and red eyes so I think they are demi-humans They have decorum, so it didn’t look like people ould cause trouble” (Morris)
“Does Raidou-dono not have intentions on e hyumans?”
Rembrandt tilts his head The followers that he has, Tomoe and Mio, are hyu into account their characteristics, most of them seemed to have appearances close to hyumans, but there is no hyuman employed
“For now it seems to only be Toes, so heinto account the cost and ability as a priority when he is choosing This is just an i to them but, I felt like they hated the so called discrimination” (Morris)
“Ability… and cost huh This place is certainly dangerous, but Tsige has a principle of accepting people with ability after all If we think like so, it is not that strange If it were me, I wouldn’t care if they were de as they are proficient Or at least that’s how I think now” (Reht occur between the hyumans and the demi-humans but… a trend like that does exist” (Morris)
With a voice that one could feel slight grief from, Morris affiroes up too ht create friction between the hyumans He orried about that
“At least the Kuzunoha Coent for now They are still in a state where they don’t even have their own store They won’t do anything rash If it looks like a seed will appear, we just need to talk with Toirls won’t employ any hyumans at all” (Rembrandt)
“Yeah Most of the adventurers will suppress their voices, so currently there shouldn’t be any problems” (Morris)
Rembrandt and Morris seemed to feel certain distress over the future of Kuzunoha Company
“Now that I think about it, I wanted to meet the other follower that Raidou-dono said he would reunite with later By the tis hiate on our side, but we couldn’t get who in the world he was We can’t get any information of Raidou-sama either It’s to the point that it makes me wonder if they are mushrooms that sprouted after rain” (Morris)
“… Mushrooms huh” (Re anything about thee that would bring trouble if he tried after all It’s not like I don’t understand how you feel I don’t ations turned out to be I a that is hopeless after all There was an inquiry frouild and the level of those two…” (Rembrandt)
“!!”
The words “From the castle” that Morris’s dom’s attention is taken, Raidou’s ht now he is not properly , I will report it Is what I told them and send them back” (Rembrandt)
“Rembrandt-sa in this kind of res to the country It is not like they are doing anything to protect Tsige after all It is obvious which side I will take between the useless bugs that only look for gold and the person that saved overnht here by the country, all of them think only about bribes This is practically an autonomous place run by merchants It’s just… this kind of topic is…” (Morris)
“I understand This will stay between us If so matter” (Rembrandt)
Rembrandt faces Morris and makes a childish face, like the one a kid would do when he does a prank And Morris responds with an evil face as if punishi+ng
“If it comes to a point where Tomoe-sama takes my back, please leave me behind” (Morris)
He may have remembered an error of some sort, Morris shows a face of discomfort
In the past, Morris saw Tomoe in a bookstore in town and he tried to confirm her skills so he erased his presence and approached her
The ht he was at her back, her figure was suddenly nowhere to be seen It only ended up in hi hit on his left shoulder
Morris embarrassedly reported that to Reher than Morris ever i her their enemy
Morris clearly understood the difference of strength between hiher in level than her, get serious, Morris reported to Rembrandt that his last wall of defense, Morris himself, would not be able to protect him He is an honest person
“… When Raidou-dono returns, he will surely be stronger than before Today when he came to ask s I don’t want to be publicized or about his followers, he could have controlled the conversation In terms of his heart, I want him to stay as he has always been” (Ree and studying, Raidou will surely increase his abilities as a merchant His close aide Tomoe is also proficient He predicts that his company may develop incredibly in the future
Rerateful that he didn’t have any intentions of joining Aion and ood partners withoutthe business area
Also, Tomoe and Mio
This was the first tiits Those tould cause quite the pressure andthem Because they could easily bloay a town if they so wanted
Instigating their imperial wrath would trulya dragon
Unless you have enough courage, trying tocompletely sed by their de the wasteland are numerous but their completion rate is bad That should be the case and yet, since the time Tomoe and Mio arrived, the request board in the Adventurer Guild that was always increasing only, now has a tendency to decrease
