Travel Plans and the New Dragon King
I am often invited to visit the Republic in some way.
In addition to the test that leads to what old man Mondo calls [Advanced Sword Art], there is also learning how to make soy sauce and miso, as recommended by McQueen-san.
The people who know how to make soy sauce and miso are the elves, and it seems that the Roda clan, who split up with the others about 300 years ago, lives there. Contact with them is also a reason to go to the Republic.
At this time, if I were to go to the Republic, I would also like to know more about Aisha, the female dwarf Demon King who is said to have the [Advanced Blacksmith] skill that I heard about from my blacksmith master, Master Shan.
Well, if the dungeon where I'm going to for a test is called [Aisha's Cave], then naturally I'll be able to hear about her as well.
As I pondered my journey to the Republic, a voice spoke to me from inside.
(Hey, Light. I have a favor to ask of you.)
I was a little confused by Midori's voice, which was unusual and strangely weird.
(Eh? What's wrong?)
(Are you going on a trip to the south? If that's the case, I'm sorry, but could you stop by the Water Dragon Mountains?)
(The Water Dragon Mountains... it's in the opposite direction from the capital of the Republic... is there a reason?)
(Sui Nee-san is in the Water Dragon Mountains. I think she's probably still sleeping because she doesn't have as much mana as us, but we want to wake her up as soon as possible.)
I see. Well, this is a promise with the Dragon Kings, so there's no reason to refuse.
(Understood. I'll keep that in mind as we head for the Water Dragon Mountains.)
I took the opportunity to ask about the rest of the Dragon Kings.
(Do you know where the other dragon kings are?)
(Geez... Tsutchi is in the Republic, so you can meet her right away. Yami-chan is in the Demon Territory, and Hikari-chan is in the Holy Church Country.)
Uwaa... Demon territory and Holy Church Country are both places I don't want to go near... Huh? Where's the other one?
(Don't you know where the Wind Dragon King is?)
(Oh dear, I forgot. Kaze-chan is everywhere, so don't worry.)
(Eh? What does that mean?)
(It means exactly that. She's air.)
It sounds like a bad word when you say it like that......
(And don't worry, she'll come right away if you call her.)
(That's terrible! Midori-nee!)
Whoa! Suddenly an unfamiliar voice echoes in my head!
(Wait! Who!?)
(It's our first time meeting! I'm Kaze. Nice to meet you!)
The Iyo dialect is so fake...
(Eh? Why did you come out suddenly?)
(I heard Midori-nee talking bad about me.)
(That's not true. In fact, you're not an air.)
(That's not the right way to say it! That makes me sound like a poor girl who's being ignored!)
(Um... can you please stop making noise in my head? Honestly, it's too loud...)
(Sorry...)
(By the way, if Kaze was by your side, why didn't she show up?)
(It's just that this child is shy.)
(T-that's not true! I just can't materialize!)
(If you can't materialize... doesn't that mean I can't pour my mana into you?)
I asked an honest question.
(Don't worry. If she absorbs the mana that you naturally emit, she will naturally be able to materialize, just like the release of mana that you used to do in the Demon Forest. It's just......)
(Just?)
(As I said earlier, this girl is shy... and she also saw us having s*x, you know? Maybe that's what's so embarrassing?)
(..................)
Ah... she went silent. I can't see it, but this one's face is definitely red.
(Well... it's good because it saves me the trouble of looking for you. Kaze is by my side, right? Then you can show yourself when you feel like it.)
(Thank you very much.)
It seems pretty cool. Even though her voice sounds like she's an energetic girl, she's embarrassed to show her face... Is this what you call Uchibenkei? Hmm, maybe not. She seems like a good girl.
(TN: Uchibenkei, someone haughty and boastful at home but meek and reserved outside.)
At any rate, it has been decided that we will go to the Republic, and that we will head for the Water Dragon Mountains on the way. Now it's just a matter of the route and the time of departure.
I thought about going with McQueen-san next spring, but that route would take me from the Kingdom to the Republic, so I wouldn't be able to go to the Water Dragon Mountains.
If we were to go to the Water Dragon Mountains, it would be more convenient to take the route through the Baron territory. Once we enter the Republic from the Barony, we can head south to the Water Dragon Mountains. And if it's the Barony, I can go there immediately by [Transfer Magic].
In that case, the route to the Republic would be to enter the Republic from the Barony, stop at the Water Dragon Mountains, and then head to the capital.
I see... the Barony...
It's been 10 years since I left the Barony...
Now that I think about it, I heard from McQueen-san earlier that the lord of the Barony has changed.
In that case, it might be a good idea to visit some acquaintances in the capital.
I decided on the travel plans with that in mind.
After explaining my trip to the Republic to the family and getting their approval, I immediately started preparing for the trip. My traveling companions are Rain, Lida, Shamu, and Ginko, the usual adventurer group.
So, I decided to tell the RockQueen Adventurer's Guild that I am heading to the Republic before leaving.
Having said that, the real journey begins after I go to the Barony via teleportation.
So, after reporting to the guild, I decided to relax at home for a while and then teleport to the Baron territory after about two weeks.
But apparently, I'm excited about this trip. I have spent the past two weeks feeling like an elementary school student looking forward to a field trip.
So, what will happen on this trip...
With high hopes in my mind, I teleported to the Baron territory.
