Chapter 10 (1/2)
A Mother’s Tracks
It took us a full day to reach the end of the line and enter Termuilles City
Although it was already evening, there was still a relatively large amount of people, compared to the traffic of the towns of Baron Schirn and Count Gartner
The races that stood out in the human toere Elves, Dwarves, and the Beastfolk They didn’t appear in public and preferred secluded areas
There was a superstition that caused them to be harshly persecuted, because there were lower education standards They were treated with prejudice, discrimination, and other similar attitudes
As for myself…this scenesince the NPCs and Players weren’t avatars, but real people
Perhaps the atmosphere was unique to the Boundary City, but one shouldn’t be is
There were a lot of things we needed to do after arriving at the city, so it was impossible to immediately head towards the Labyrinth
In the first place, since Forest Bird completed their ive them their completion bonus
“Thank you very much Huh? This is…No, isn’t this too much?”
“I s I’ll need your help with, so at that ti on you”
“Is that true~? I’lad”
Lucian smiled
The Forest Bird in particular had been able to travel stress-free
Although Dad had been the one to suggest an escort, I had been the one to choosecompanions The journey would not have been as smooth if Grace and I had travelled alone
If it had been just us, weto procure supplies, and could have lost our carriage e encountered the ants Not only that, I think ould have been viewed as easy targets by malicious people, and would have definitely attracted unnecessary trouble I’m really thankful that Forest Bird ith us
Ideally, trustworthy couys wanted to build a firm relationshi+p with me
“Although a part of o and talk with the Adventurer’s Guild”
“Then ill go relay Theo-kun’s naht”
“It’s okay for you guys to wait forto do a bit of work around here…and if we can do it by ourselves, we o settle down afterwards”
“I pray that your work goes well It’s fundaether, so it will be fine as long as you don’t recklessly go too far into the Labyrinth”
After I answered the to Lucian and Monica, they smiled at me
“What will you do after this?”
“We will head to the place where my dad’s intermediary is supposed to be”
My father’s acquaintance, Rossetta Athenbloas said to live on Fallen Leaf Street, in the Eastern District
Although he had told me that she was an elderly person, I wondered what she would be like Dad’s conditions forthe way and to meet with Rossetta Athenblow once I arrived I had to fulfill my promise to him
“Well then, ill escort you there”
“You have various things to do as well…like searching for an inn, right?”
“Well, it’s not a proble for me”
Mmm Well, that’s fine?
If I had to describe the Eastern District, it was an area where lots of rich people lived As for the reason why, ht the area received When it came to my dad’s acquaintance, it was thanks to hi in the Eastern District
Nevertheless, I didn’t think she was a person as involved with nobles
When we arrived at the residence that ritten about on dad’s note, we found a ant mansion
“Well then, ill part ways here”
“Aah Thanks”
“See you later, Theo-kun, Grace-san”
“Yeah Let’s ain later”
We separated from Forest Bird and headed to the door of Rossetta’s residence So the lionhead door knocker, a woman with dark red hair appeared She was probably between her late 20’s or early 30’s
She didn’t have the atmosphere of a servant Was this woman Rossetta?
As the redhead’s gaze dropped down to us, she moved closer to Grace and me
“I’ Is this the residence of Rossetta Athenblow-sama?”
“Just Rossetta is fine Uht? Henri’s child Then, this person over here is Grace?”
“That’s right Have you met us before?”
I didn’t have any recollection of that happening Since she said that she knew that I was Henri’s child, did that mean she knew my mother as well?
“I met you once, when you were a baby The next time we met was at Henri’s residence I’ve met you a total of two times Well, it’s natural that you don’t reh I had heard about her fronized her immediately You really are a pretty child”
