Finding Your Way Home In Another World With The Gender Change Skill/Shadow & The Jester [Remake]
Chapter 04: The Beginning of the Journey

It has been about 30 minutes since we left the royal palace, we are now on the road and have not decided what to do.

By the way the city is quite large as well, and every building in this city also looks like a building in medieval Europe. And also, this city seems to be divided into 4 parts, and in each part has its own function.

I intend to find lodging first because we are too conspicuous, probably because of our clothes that are rarely seen in this world and maybe also because they are all very beautiful girls. At the time when I was busy with my own thoughts, Ayano-sensei suddenly called out to me and asked me something.

“Souji-kun aren't we being too flashy huh? is this because the clothes we use are rarely worn by the inhabitants of this world huh?” Ayano-sensei asked that while tilting her head to the side.

“No, it might just be because sensei and the others are too pretty, so make everyone look at me with eni” I said that with a proud face.

At the moment I said that, Ayano-sensei and the others immediately stopped looking around, then they started to lower their heads to hide their faces that had turned red.

Did I say something wrong? And again why the atmosphere suddenly became so awkward, Come on Sanada or Nagisa say something!!.

As the atmosphere became very awkward, I decided to change the subject.

“What if we look for lodging first, just decide what next we do?” I said that while pointing to the Northern part of the City.

At the time I said that, the girls only answered him with a light nod of approval. Then we all decided to find lodging first.

But none of them wanted to look at me at all.

☆-----___-----___-----☆

We managed to find the inn before dark. The inn is named Silvering and is located in the Northern part of the City.

The cost of staying here is 5 copper coins per day and if you want with food plus 1 copper coin. So if in total right, we pay as much as 3 silver coins and 6 copper coins to stay a day + eat here.

Yes if you ask where this money came from, this is the money given by the kingdom as compensation for bringing us into this world unilaterally and they also gave us some supplies.

By the way this is the approximate money in this world.

1 silver coin \= 10 copper coins

1 big silver coin \= 10 silver coins

1 gold coin \= 10 big silver coins

1 big gold coin \= 10 gold coins

1 platinum coin \= 100 big gold coins

That's a little bit of an estimate of the money in this world.

And now we are in a medium-sized room that has 6 beds. After everyone sat down, Shinomiya-san started talking.

“So Shimotsuki-kun, what will we do after this?” Shinomiya-san asked that while tilting her head to the side

At the time Shinomiya-san asked that, everyone immediately stared at me.

If asked what do I want to do? maybe I want to get out of this kingdom.

After a short pause, I decided to answer Shinomiya-san's question seriously.

“Nothing special, first we will register to be adventurers tomorrow and raise at least 1 level, after that we will go to get out of this kingdom.” I say it indifferently.

“So you mean we should get out of this kingdom as soon as possible? Then can you explain why we should get out of this kingdom Souji-kun immediately?” Ayano-sensei asked me that question with a very serious face.

“That's because we should immediately get away from the King's eyes Hamster-sensei” I said that while smiling very sincerely to tease Ayano-sensei.

At the time I said that, Ayano-sensei immediately stood up and said something with a face flushed with embarrassment.

“Su-su-I told you not to call me hamster-sensei!!, that's not polite!!” Ayano-sensei shouted that while walking forward towards me.

With that attitude, it made me want to tease her. So I decided to tease Ayano-sensei a bit.

“What do you say Hamster-sensei, if Hamster-sensei doesn't want to be called Hamster-sensei then what about Hamster-chan?” I said that in an astonished tone while tilting my head to the side.

“Be-be-stop taunting me!!, don't call me Hamaster-sensei or Hamster-chan!! Call me Ayano-sensei!” Ayano-sensei said that while bringing her face closer to me and not paying attention to the surroundings at all.

He said that with a completely red face. Maybe so embarrassed that he forgot the people around him.

At the moment when I was teasing Ayano-sensei, Nagisa suddenly started talking with doubtful eyes.

“Neh Sou-can... since when are you this close to Ayano-sensei?” Nagisa asked that while watching the two of us.

At the time Nagisa asked me that, Ayano-sensei who had just realized the surroundings immediately crouched down and hugged her knees while hiding her red face, and the atmosphere inside the room suddenly became very awkward.

Damnit damnit!! this makes me feel guilty for Ayano-sensei, and again why the atmosphere is so awkward again, we better change the topic first or Ayano-sensei will die of shame.

“Uhuk So there's a special reason why I suggested getting out of this kingdom” I said it with a serious face.

“Sou-can didn't you immediately change the subject?” Nagisa started looking at me suspiciously.

At the time Nagisa said that, somehow they all looked at me suspiciously.

At the moment I was thinking about how to get out of this situation, Sanada suddenly took the bait and asked that.

“Then Souji-senpai, what is the special reason we should leave this kingdom immediately?”  Sanada asked that while tilting his head.

Very good Sanada!!, I will allow you to call me Onichan as a gift later. After a brief pause, I began to answer Sanada's question with a serious face.

“Reason in particular. Maybe because of the previous incident in the royal palace” I said that while looking at them seriously.

“what happened to the incident?” Natsuki-san asked that while looking at me back seriously.

This time it was Natsuki-san who took the bait, I will not visit this opportunity!!, Hold on sensei!!.

“Didn't you guys feel weird about that King story?” I said that while walking towards my bed and sitting on top of her.

At the moment I said that, everyone's countenance suddenly became loud. Judging from the look on their faces, maybe they finally understood.

This time the answer is Shinomiya-san.

“As you said Shimotsuki-kun, at first I felt that what he said was the truth, but, after we got out of the royal palace, I felt that, somehow what the Denis King said became very strange and absurd at all” Shinomiya-san said that with a face that became very complicated.

“It seems I agree with you Shinomiya-kun” Natsuki-san nodded at Shinomiya-san's statement..

It seemed like the others also agreed and waited for an answer from me.

After a few seconds, I decided to answer their questions with what I thought about the story until now.

“Then listen carefully, in my opinion...”.

☆-----___-----___-----☆

After I explained about the awkwardness of the story from the King, somehow the look on their faces all became more complicated.

How not to try, if we see the story from another perspective, the Goddess Verly should be innocent at all.

Why do I say she's innocent at all, it's because I think the people who first attacked it weren't Goddess Verly, either, but the humans who are called the first Heroes and not only that, they even had time to steal the items in the residence of Goddess Verly. They are nothing more than thieves.

Even so, somehow the atmosphere in this room even became heavier.

Maybe because they know that the goddess Aurora does not want to admit the mistakes of her own creation, and instead calls a hero to solve it. Then the Hero he summoned to solve the problem was us.

After a few minutes, Sanada suddenly said something unexpected and made the atmosphere in the room light, as if the previous heavy atmosphere was just a lie.

“Neh Souji-senpai, how about we eat first? since Sanada is already hungry” Sanada says it while stroking his stomach.

After Sanada said that, I decided to pay attention to the surroundings and agreed to Sanada's suggestion.

“Then, does everyone approve of her?”

By the time I said that, everyone nodded lightly. They all might not be able to stand this heavy atmosphere and choose to agree to it.

At the time Sanada wanted to leave the room, I whispered the word “THANK YOU" to him and Sanada only answered him with a smile.

So we all went downstairs and ate.
