Chapter 4 (2/2)
It was athan any wyvern
“……Honestly, it's frightening to think about what ers of your past make your desire for peace all the more understandable”
“Is that what you think? To be honest, hts had been too focused on combat It could be said that my desire to live peacefullyto conquer the continent”
“I can understand being in a sad situation Ia hectic life……”
They had a strange understanding of one another
Though Zeros had ran rampant, in order to converse with the inhabitants of this world, his actions in the digital world were the only natural starting point
However, the stories of battles he rely excessive
In fact, Zeros had already been acknowledged as a ician wary of the battlefield
He had no idea ould happen if hekilled an evil God
“shi+sho, what happened to your luggage? It seehtly”
“I can use spatial-tee in a pocket space”
“That’s convenientI heard spatial-teh……”
“Well, I can only store e It's convenient for travel, but it's also a little inefficient”
“Is there no way to fix that?”
“Since it’s an ancient spell, its iht I’d spend the rest ofthis spell”
“Ancientin one’s lifetime”
Of course, he had no idea how the inventory actually worked
That’s why Zeros referred to it as ancient ic
“Can you replicate the spell?”
“Unfortunately, it's an extre it beyond the stage that I have
There seems to be so the symbols”
“Seriously, where did you even find so like that?”
“While I was fighting on a certain battlefield, the ground fell out fro around for a bit Following that, I undertook a life-threatening escape from inside the mountain After that, I was bedridden for a week and I was jolted awake intowards another battlefield”
“I shouldn’t have asked How cruel of a world did you live in……”
An unattended remark left his mouth
It was better not to dwell on as spoken for too long
On the contrary, Selestina’s eye brightened with respect
Innocent gazes pierced deep
If a sensible person were listening, it would be a good exa perspectives
After that, the conversation ic symbols that were the basis for spells
When they entered the castle, there was a large chandelier hanging fro
The pictures hanging on the wall and the flowers displayed in the decorated vase were befitting of a lord’s manor
Excess furniture was unnecessary
The furniture that was present aesthetically matched the restrained atmosphere of the forest castle
“We need to take care of our luggage so I’ll have a servant show you to your room”
“Thank you”
“What else is to be expected for our savior? Please relax without worry”
“I’ll take you up on that It has been quite a while since I slept with a roof overto pass up”
“Having suffered such hardshi+p……”
For so pitied
“I will prepare a change of clothes for you Would you like to be led to your room first?”
“I’ time, I can finally sleep without any worries
“……Sensei,you lived quite an eventful life, didn't you? Just what is it that drives you……”
“Huh? I’ve been surrounded by monsters quite often, so I’ve never really considered it”
“Truly, a life filled with hardshi+p…… Even as a trial by the Goddess, this is too cruel”
“Maybe I incurred someone's ire and this is some sort of divine punishment?”
In fact, since I killed a God I was definitely their enemy
“Will you excusedespite being retired”
“Yes, there is much to be taken care of”
“shi+shoui May I thank you in advance?”
“Well… I shall teach you the basics of what I know It’s up to you whether or you will improve”
“I will surely thrive! I shall not allow the blessing of o to waste, shi+shou!”
“Your enthusiasood will co impatient”
“Yes!”
Selestina cheerfully pu off
Zeros was at a loss about what he should do
(Well…… what should I do after this?)
The Ossan had no choice but to look around
Zeros insecurities about being in an unknown place began to crop up
He was a timid person at heart
“Zeros-sama, I’ve come to pick you up This way, please”
“Ah? Yes…… sorry for causing you trouble”
A ed butler appeared and motioned for him to move
He was led up the stairway and towards the leftern-most room
The room was a bit suest
Was there such always such delight in having a bed? Ca out couldn’t compare to the softness of a bed
This rooiven the impressive view it had
“This is a good room The view is idyllic and quite beautiful……”
“Thank you for the co room in the entire uests”
“Important? Me?”
Yes, in addition to saving thelady’s problem This much is to be expected
“Such exceptional treatment?! All I did was handle a few bandits!”
Zeros becahtly flustered by the unexpected treatment
“What are you saying? How can we not treat you to this degree, honorable race to the archduke's family if we didn’t offer you our hospitality”
“I feel like that is so important, but……”
“To consider what you’ve done trivial… You’ve done so much more than that”
As far as Zeros was concerned, all he did was to correct a textbook and repel some bandits
He didn’t think these actions merited any special treatment
However, things looked different when seen from another viewpoint
Selestina was finally able to use ued Creston’s lovely granddaughter
Moreover, his granddaughter had ed to raise her level and said she wanted to accept a tutor
Furtherician's power
For the servants, treating him this as natural
These were values derived fro
“This is still too outrageous for me Aren’t I just a mere tutor? I……”
“For a great sage who has fought all over the continent, soree should be suitable”
“I’m just a fool that was consu such adoration shameful”
Zeros had been acting under a large misconception
Most of the ic symbols for spells had yet to be decoded
Understanding the technique, let alone opti iicians
Thesy their effects
A ical sy physical laws into spells in order to strengthen them, wasn’t someone who could be overlooked
Since they were trying to avoid any conflict with such a powerful being, they tried to be as hospitable as possible
There was a gap in the hospitality that a noble and a commoner could show……
Zeros' freedo such authority from others
“Here is your change of clothes Unfortunately, they’re the clothes of a servant since they were all we had on such short notice”
“No…… thank you very much for your kindness”
“Dinner will be soon, but……a bath first?”
“A bath? There’s a bath here?”
“Of course Your… clothes appear rather worn out, so I assumed you would like to have a bath and clean up”
“That’s right It’s been three days since I bathed in the river, it is only natural that dirt would start clinging to me May I use it immediately?”
“Do you know proper bathing etiquette…?”
“Do I know it? Washi+ng before entering the bath is common sense”
A bathroom was considered a luxury co public bathhouses
Knowing proper bathing etiquette was considered the mark of the rich
At this point, Zeros was now considered born wealthy since he kne to bathe
“Then, I shall guide you”
The Butler lead me to a secluded place on the first floor
Because the master of the s
Even with the occasional glance at the displayed paintings, Zeros quickly arrived at the bathroom
“This is the bathroo”
“Thank you”
Zeros happily went to the clothing station, stripped away his equip area with a towel in hand
The sculptures and plants that dotted the roo
However, another occupant was already there
“Oh……”
“Huh?!”
The naked ossan had bumped into Selestina just as she was about to leave
“”…………””
The was an empty silent moment……
“I-IYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!”
“Wh-Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!”
Naturally, both of them screamed out
“Dandy-san? What are you doing here?”
The butler as called out to… Dandy, looked back and saw Selestina' slightly confusedat him
“Me? I escorted our esteeuest to the bathroom… why?”
“Ee―――――――――――――?!”
An uneasiness began to rise within Dandy
“D-Did I say so?
“I-I was, just about to retrieve Lady Selestina from the bath……”
“What?! No way……”
It was then that they heard the screairl and the ossan
“”………””
They’d unintentionally created an aard moment
Two naked people ran hurriedly out of the bathroom
After that, Dandy and the
Eventually, her grandfather ed to calm her down, but……
Later on, Zeros would sigh and laht’s dinner had been

Hi everyone, I wanted to leave a small note here about one of the terurādosu)
As far as we can tell ”Metalgrad” (or ”Metalglados” ;)) seems to be a term invented by the author, unless someone has an idea what this could mean?
