Chapters 8.4

*Sdruuuuuuuums sgrigs sgrigs stratataps bsiiings * Such a strong gust of wind began to blow everything around him as Airi began to land himself on a hill with a full set of gray mecha armor armed with a partial canon drone complete with several light swords fused on a magic plane like pitch-black wings.

Realizing one particular control of Airina's changes made Rose think of Iris as having most likely had problems with both the mecha suit and the controlling options given that Iris never knew there was any ability special that lives in his body.

" M~, well. I'm sure he can understand every function of the mecha suit by himself, later on. " he murmured after seeing the shape change from Airi who returned to the initial shape and saw the golden luster of the sea of clouds when the sun was about to return in the contest

Opening the in-screen map option while ensuring their current position, Rose invites Vi and Airin to spend the night in one of the villages in the foothills while reloading supplies.

* gbrags, Dbugss * "Oh, Astagah. Although I have tried repeatedly to control it, I still failed and got so many injuries. " muttered Iris in front of the open door while recalling the mecha suit control problem that left her body filled with wounds.

Walking up to Iris with a dry cloth and a bucket filled with water, Lilis welcomed the figure of Iris who was still lying lazily before the door before asking her to wash herself.

" As far as I can tell, it's pulling a distance not too far from that place. There should be no villages or buffer towns around here. [But if you think about the changes, maybe some of these small villages started to emerge as community centers from some buffer cities like the previous ones.] " rose replied to questions from Airin who felt foreign while tracking the village while recalling his journey with Rose to every corner of the country.

" Hey, hem. Maybe just like Vi said, Airi. Time has passed and changed some things we know "he continued after swallowing the typical food of the village while looking at the night sky without stars.

Paying little information about what he wanted to some locals such as city guards and street vendors, disappointment arises when information about the whereabouts of his destination has long been forgotten.

" Good day, sir. I hear you can give us a lot of money on information that can be given. "greet an adventurer while offering what he has regarding the information that Rose wants

" Akh, Right. Coincidentally, today Iris was enjoying her time in front of the guild while learning about some things. If you really intend to meet him, just meet him. "reply Lilis to the young adventurers who had helped Vi on a mission.

Had doubts over the words of Lilis who clearly mentioned the name of Iris rather than Vi they wanted to meet made them force themselves to meet the figure mentioned earlier.

" Hm~? Is there anything I can do for you? " Rose said with a face that seemed so calm after several groups of adventurers surrounded her in one street near the countryside.

" Oah, no. You may have heard wrong that time. My name is Airis, but not infrequently also my friends call me Ris. "reply Iris while explaining a lie to cover the existence of Rose and Vi who had lived in the city.

A smile of happiness was clearly visible on Rose's face as both Airin and Vi slaughtered the group of adventurers who surrounded them with their brutals

" Then, what about that terrifying black-robed man? " said a female witch who cut Iris' explanation.

Reluctant to believe that everything that happened was just an illusion that made the young adventurers began to seek the truth of information about the figure named Vi to a point, they cross paths with Fei who happens to be looking for similar information.

" So, that's what you are like, sir. They were indeed a group of adventurers who were troubling this village and some neighboring villages. Therefore, we are very grateful to you, " said a middle-aged man who was considered the village chief after confirming the few remaining adventurer figures.

Along with the return of gratitude for the return of the peace of the village and some of the loot to its original owner, Rose gets additional information about the place she wants to visit despite being just a legend shrouded in mystery.

" Hey, em. His words at that time opened a blank speech. "fei murmured while looking at the outside of the window of the horse carriage he was riding.

" [While at first I thought he was a guard that father secretly sent, I really didn't expect that father himself felt alien when I mentioned his name. And again after relating the various events that happened, I could understand why mother was so worried about me if I were to get back in touch with her. ] " he said in silence while looking for one definitive answer from the mysterious Rose.

Returning to walk into the hidden camp of the bandits who were exterminated after carefully examining the area, Rose encountered the rest of the bandit members who were deliberately left to be used as experimental materials for one ritual.

* swarps*a dimensional portal appears on top of an array of rune rocks sunk by time

" Hehe, it's true my guess. [Trader system with night-traveling npc still works as long as activation conditions can be met. ] " he said with a laugh after seeing a demi-human figure with a cat race emerge from the dimension portal together wrapped in a red reaper robe.

Trying a few words of greeting to get into the main topic made Rose no longer care about the lives of the adventurers or bandits who tried to trap her.

" Whichever form of exchange rate is given, the night traveler will carefully assess the price before giving the best option in front of us. [Even though it was an ordinary stone or even part of something alive] "he said explaining to both Airi and Vi about the figure of the night traveler who just fell silent with the empty box before him

By selling off the souls and bodies of those left behind, a mysterious option in the form of a red egg caught his attention before realizing there was a minus value in every available option.

" all right. I'm gonna take this, this and this. Then pull back this girl and replace it with this thing. "murm it while determining the options available after several times to do a feasibility test at the equivalent selling price.

Tears accompanied by apologies for his bad actions make the empathy in Rose called and forgive the bad actions of the little girl who lost one eye.

" Hey, em. [This world is indeed a world filled with extraordinary oddities beyond human reason and therefore, I must be able to get used to something beyond other reason.] " he muttered in solitude while looking at the smiles of his two servants who seemed to smile happily in their sleep.
