Become A Human In Another World
ACT 3: Chapter 5 - Depart
The match was stopped by Kurls because he had each participant cornered.
"This duel ended in a draw!" Kurls Class.
Instantly, Ren and Suzu sat down, and took a deep breath.
"Huff. It's exhausting. You really don't hold back, Suzu. What would have happened if I hadn't managed to escape earlier? You forgot I'm just human?!!" shouted Ren. Suzu who heard that just laughed, while scratching her head.
"really? I we're you, Ren. If that's it you'll be fine." replied Suzu calmly.
He also felt happy, that he could fight on balance with Ren.
"remarkable. He can hold off senior Suzu's draw even without using magic! What the hell is that? Does he have any special skills?" Jill and the others went down, after the match was said to be completely over.
Edna too soon took over, and healed both of them immediately.
"Well, good practice before I go. But remember. I will be stronger when I return. You guys don't get left behind either, yeah!" said Ren while slightly stroking Aina's approaching head.
Aina smilingly accepted that, while the others became even more excited.
"really. Well then, promise me back, Ren. At that time, let's duel again" Suzu said, standing up then reaching out, helping Ren stand up.
("That sounds a bit like a flag, doesn't it?") ask Ren in my heart.
He smiled, then looked at everything again. He thought for now, it was better to follow the storyline that already existed, and not move as he wished.
"That's great. And don't forget the special task I gave you both" Ren said.
Suzu and Edna flinched, remembering the task Ren had given with the paper back then. Even so, they still nodded with confidence.

"Sister Ren, do you have to go?" aina asked with a sad face.
Now was the time that Ren had scheduled to leave. He plans to head to the South African country, and change his name according to what he told me first.
From there, he would try to see the wider world.
"I have to, Aina. Have we never talked about this before? You must have known this day was coming, didn't you?" said Ren holding onto Aina's shoulder which was now slightly shaking.
"hum. Brother's right. Aina won't cry!" aina said sure.
"Smart kid, smart kid!" Ren stroked Aina's head, which made Aina smile again. He turned to look at the other people who were waiting in line to talk to him.
"Son Ren, please take this with you. These are the artifacts of our city. I'm sure it'll make the trip easier." Rice came to the front, and handed a ring to Ren.
Ren was a little confused, but Rice just smiled.
"It was a ring that could serve as an Inventory. I saw you brought a lot of stuff, so I'm sure you'll have a hard time carrying it" Rice said.
Ren immediately heard that, and he thanked immediately while activating the ring, putting all the items in there.
After that, a farewell event occurred for a moment, before finally the train that would take Ren arrived.
It was the merchant who passed by Furyuun, because he wanted to go on trading to South Africa. And since he needed a guard, Ren could hitchhike on the grounds of guarding the merchant.
"Looking at the person who drove you, it looks like you're an important person, huh?" said the merchant while calling Ren.
Ren who was in the carriage laughed.
"No-no. I'm just a fool and a sinner, who doesn't know what. I don't deserve something as good as that." Ren replied with a forced laugh.
Things soon become quiet.
"Oh yes, uncle. Whatis yourname? It's a little unpleasant not to know the name of a traveling companion. And introduce, my name is Liu Xiu. I am a swordsman. I'm a human being, but don't worry. I'm pretty sure of my abilities" Ren said as he introduced himself.
"Ohh, is that so? Alright. I'm Rose. I was born in this Kin Kingdom, but grew up in South Africa. That's why I ended up being a merchant" the man said as he continued driving.
"All right, Uncle Rose. Do you want me to drive this train? I'm a little bit able to drive the train." replied Ren.
Rose laughed at hearing that.
"You can do it? That's shocking! Then, when I'm tired please replace me" he said.
"And so, I give you a little advice. The South African government does not discriminate too much against race. As long as you have money, you'll be welcome there. And I'm sure, a kid like you will adapt easily!" rose continued, laughing again.
"That's great. Okay, uncle. I'll remember that." Ren replied.
That way, they ended up talking about many things, while Ren also asked a few things while continuing to sharpen his sword. It was strange, but he did it during the trip.
Until finally, the sun went down. They plan to spend the night in the capital. But they seem a little late.
As a result, they arrived at the Capital too late.
Even so, there are still some places that want to accommodate them. Ren refuses to sleep at the inn, as he is saving on expenses. He prefers another place to sleep.

"Good morning, Rose. We're leaving now?" asked Ren who was entrenched on the coachman's seat.
He had gotten up early in the morning, and had already cleaned Rose's carriage, woke up the horse, and fed her. So when Rose finished breakfast, everything was done and ready to go.
"You're really diligent, yes!! I want to hire you" Rose said.
"Just say this is a reward because lucky we don't meet any danger on the road. And hopefully it stays that way." replied Ren.
They finally continued on, reaching the town of Howtie, which was a port city belonging to the Kin Kingdom.
According to Rose, this was also a great place to trade, but not as well as the South African Kingdom.
Waiting for the ship long enough, making them have to spend the night at Howtie, before finally in the morning sailing to go to Fuheng, the city of Commerce in South Africa. The city was adjacent to the Adventurer city, Li Tian.
This Li Tian City was the city that Ren had aimed for, to begin his new life.
And true, nothing bad happened while on the way. It made them get to Fuheng easily.
Arriving at Fuheng, Ren, now Liu Xiu, parted ways with Rose.
