“Hmm... I don't know how to do this..”.
"Woof?"
I am now trying to figure out what to do for transfer-based magic. This is a top priority for Night and I am now because I have decided to make a field trip. But I don't have a good idea in mind.
First of all, it's hard to imagine moving from one place to another. Because I can't get a clear picture for my purpose, at such a level, no matter how I try to memorize it, it doesn't come to my mind. It would be different if I had a special skill like a perfect memory. In addition, if there is a stone or tree in the destination, and I think about being buried in it, I am getting scared and unable to move.
“...Not good, my head is getting dizzy. Let's break.”
"woof."
I moved through the doors of a different world into my own home.
"…Hmm?"
I felt something pull me and moved to another world once again.
"…Hmm?"
"Woof?"
What happened to Night? But I was too focused on the situation to talk back. What is it... what prevents me──.
"Hm! Aaaahhhh!”
“W-woof!?”
I shouted, and Night was startled by my voice. Sorry, Night! But I understand now!
“That's true.. it's hard because I think of instant travel and stuff like that! Let's just say it's moving through a door or gate or something, and that will solve the problem!”
First, I don't have to worry about being buried under rocks or trees or any other scary experience!
"…That's true; I can install a feature on that door that lets me remember its location!”
For example, if I developed some kind of magic to take a picture, and then combine that magic with transfer door magic, I could move to the location of that image.
“Now that it pops into my mind, I guess I just need to try and do it!”
"Woof!"
Act suddenly! I soon began to develop miracles. Then the magic was made so easy that it was anticlimactic. The effect of this magic is, I can move to a place I have been to even once. The problem with this magic was probably the location I had once visited.
I have created a magic to take a picture.or rather a magic to remember it in my brain as vivid as a photo, and then integrate it into this transfer door magic, he said, but when I tried to move by memorizing a scene from a textbook about an American Scene that I had never been to, I couldn't do it.
Maybe it matches the scene in my brain with the kind of information I experience in my body. I think it's selfish. It's very powerful and uncomfortable, but it doesn't matter to me because all I need is to get between this house and the destination.
“Now I can take care of the Night without any problems when I will field trip. Well, it's only at night or for a short time, but.”.
"Woof."
As if telling me not to worry about him, Night raised one of his front legs. Itis funny.
"Well, now that I've created the transfer-type magic I've always wanted, I can finally travel through another world!"
Even if I travel, when the time comes, I can return to this house and return to the same place again with magic, which is great. Nah! Don't tell me about ruining the fun of travel! I'm sorry, but I'm short on time.
“Alright, then we should finish exploring this forest as soon as possible! So let's go!"
"Woof!"
Night and I stepped into the forest after a quick preparation.
...----------------...
“Yes, let's defeat some monsters near the forest entrance to meet Owen-san and the others again.”
"Woof."
I don't know how much influence the action was, but if I can reduce the number of monsters, even if it is only a little, it will be easier when I meet Owen-san and the others again.
Maybe I will go to the forest entrance after a month, but maybe also Owen-san and the others will come to my house at any time… Perhaps it was because I had stepped further into the forest, across the entrance until now, the monsters inhabiting the entrance felt a little weaker.
Some monsters seemed to use magic in the depths of the forest, but near the entrance, only familiar monsters like elite goblins, bloody ogres, and hell slimes were visible.
Nevertheless, I am sure that I have defeated some of the goblin elites, but still too many, it does not seem to diminish. As I thought, there's no point in me trying so hard to beat everything, right?
"Woof!"
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Night suddenly barked; I called him, he saw me once but then suddenly started running.
“Eh, what happened?”
The situation was the same as when he found the previous sage-san book, so maybe Night realized something. As I continued to follow Night in order not to miss, his presence suddenly faded.
"Woof."
“Eh? Remove my presence?”
"Woof!"
I don't know why, but if Night says so, I guess it's better to follow him. I'm sure Night knows better than me what it's like to live in the woods. I immediately activated the [Assimilation] skill and followed after Night while holding my breath. Then some kind of battle voice reached my ears.
“Kuh!”
A closer look revealed a girl dressed in tattered clothes, standing alone against a group of elite goblins. His silver hair, which was tied into one, trembled with each of his intense movements, and his blue eyes drew lines.
I looked around to see if there was anyone else around, but all I could see was the girl in front of me. I was like with Lexia-san before, why is there a girl in this place?
“N-By the way, let's help him──.”
"Woof."
I hurriedly tried to move away from my location, but for some reason, Night held me back by biting the tip of my clothes.
“What's up, Night? We have to help him quickly.”.
“….”
I don't know why, but Night won't take my clothes off. Even now, the girl is still in danger, and I feel uncomfortable thinking about it.
...The girl was standing alone against an elite group of goblins, you know? At the time with Lexia-san, her opponent was a goblin general; she showed no signs of fighting. However, the girl in front of me was still attacked by the goblin elites, but she managed to avoid them. It was obvious that he was used to fighting. However, for some reason, no sword or other weapon was found in the girl's hand.
. ..Did he come to this forest empty-handed? What's he thinking?
The more I looked at her calmly, the deeper the mystery of the girl deepened. As I was thinking like that, the girl raised her right hand, which should not hold anything, with all her might.
“Hah!”
“Guoooooooo!”
At that moment, the right arm of one of the elite goblins suddenly severed.
“Eh!?”
What's going on now? The goblin elite was as confused as me, but another individual who took advantage of the gap of the girl approached the girl from behind.
“Guh!? Shit.”
“Gugaaaahh!”
He tried to dodge it somehow, but the goblin elite thrust its fists at the girl even faster. And when the girl realized that she could not avoid it, she crossed her arms as fast as she could to prevent it, but she was knocked and hit a tree and fell.
“Night, as expected, I can't just watch! Let's go!"
"…Woof!" Night looked troubled for a moment, but he quickly followed me and ran away from the location.
First of all, I asked for the night to attract the attention of the elite group of goblins at the same time when I met the girl.
"Woof!"
“Gogahh!?”
The surprise attack by Night had left one of the goblin elites unable to do such a thing; night's sharp claws had decapitated him. His attack completely distracted the goblin elites from me, and I reached the girl safely.
"…thankfully. He just fainted..”.
The moment I managed to hug her, some of the goblin elites who were under Night's mercy noticed my actions.
“Gu?”
“Gugaaaa!”
“Whoa... Now we have to do something for this situation.. Woof! I'll hand some of them over to you, do you agree with that? ”
"Woof!"
Night nodded vigorously at my request. I knew I could count on Night, after all, he was reliable!
“Then, I guess I have to take care of this one!”
“Guo!”
While holding the girl in my arms, I made one of sage-san's weapons... [The Heavenly Whip] appeared in my free hand.[The Heavenly Whip] was a long pure white whip, and no other features seemed different in its appearance.
However, this whip effect is──.
“Hah!”
“Guoh! Gwaahh!”
I lightly swung the whip on the spot, and the whip shot forward towards the goblin elite as if it were a living being. The goblin elite managed to dodge the attack, but the whip automatically followed the goblin elite and circled the goblin's elite arm.
As the whip wrapped around the elite arm of the goblin, only part of the whip wrapped around it became black, and with a light pull, the arm was easily squeezed and torn apart.
The goblin elites trembled for a moment when the arms of their comrades were knocked down. I did not miss the gap made there, and I swung the whip in quick succession. Then, even though there was only one whip, the tip of the whip appeared many times as it swung, and automatically attacked the goblin elite again, completely like a living being.
This [Heavenly Whip] made the tip of the whip appear as much as it swung it, yet it automatically attacked my target set. Furthermore, once wrapped, it automatically tightens the opponent and even shreds the body as it is.
Even in the forest, an environment where there were many obstacles, it was really just a matter of shaking it up a little, and it would attack monsters by itself. I'm very grateful for this. I mean, as usual, there are too many powerful objects in the sage-san weapon…
When I finished defeating the goblin elites on my side safely, Night had just defeated the goblin elites he was facing. After collecting the drop of items scattered around the area for a moment, I turned my attention once again to the girl who fainted in my arms.
“Now... what should we do with it? I think it would be better to take her home so she can rest well..”.
"Woof."
Hmm. but there must be a reason for Night to react that way. There is indeed a possibility that this girl is a bad person, and it is dangerous to bring her into the house carelessly. Even from the girl's point of view, it would be scary to wake up in a foreign man's house.
But as it turns out, Night didn't really mind helping this girl, so I guess she wasn't that bad. I think it's selfish that he's not a bad guy. But I really hope that.
"Guk-guk!"
"Hmm? You think we should move to the forest entrance for now?”
"Guk-guk!"
I followed Night's lead, and we made it through the forest safely. Outside the forest, visibility instantly disappeared, and the meadow spread around him. The clump was at most as long as an eye, so it was almost impossible for monsters to hide within it.
For now, I put the girl under a nearby tree and waited for her to wake up. Once he wakes up, I can make him drink [Complete Recovery Potion Juice] . Sorry if he doesn't like the taste of oranges, but you have to accept it.
After all, it was a relief to get this far, but given Night thought it was better not to go to my house, it might not be a good idea for this girl to know about my house. I'm not sure why, but I can't blame Night for being vigilant.
Then I had to figure out how to explain it to the girl when she woke up. Yes, to be honest, I couldn't think of any idea. What am I supposed to do? If I had to lie, perhaps, I would say that I would train in this forest and happen to find it being attacked by the goblin elites and save it. Well, this is an impossible arrangement, but I feel this is the saneest. Therehewas.
As I thought about various things about her, the girl woke up.
“Hmm... Uu.. Aa... Where..... this.... this?”
He woke up, but it seemed like he was still suffering from the damage from the battle with the goblin elites, and he quickly grimaced.
"Are you okay?"
"Well! Hii…! K-you..”.
As I called out to him, he tried to lift his body with great force, but it seemed like the damage was still severe, and he quickly returned to his original position.
“Uhm... will you drink this for now? If you are wondering, how it works is just like a recovery pill..”.
When I took out the [Complete Recovery Potion Juice] in a plastic bottle and placed it in front of the girl, the girl looked cautious.
"Whatis that? This container... and its contents..”.
Since I had no choice, I drank it in front of him to prove that it was non-toxic, and the girl slightly lowered her vigilance and ended up drinking [Complete Recovery Potion Juice] .
"Huh!? I-this is...!”
The effect was immediately noticeable, and the girl's body, which should have been covered in scars, instantly returned to a clean state. It was indeed the home medicinal herb of sage-san.
“So, what are you doing here?”
After his wound healed and he became calm to a certain extent, I asked him that and he tensed for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“...I came here to practice.”
"Practiced?"
I don't think it's for the same reason as me! No, wait, I don't mean to look at people just from their outer appearance... Ah, could it be that fighting with light equipment was one of his exercises?
"Wool…"
For some reason, Night sighed as I thought about that. Huh huh? What's up with that?
“Ehem! Ah... well... What are you doing in a place like this? Besides, I should have been attacked by an elite group of goblins.”.
“Eh? Ah, yes.. me too.. it's... practice! I came to this forest to train as well!”
“A-what?”
The girl was surprised by my words.
"I-I never thought anyone would actually practice ..."
“Eh?”
“T-it's okay! You and I have the same goal!”
"That's right!"
“A-ahahaha.” we both laughed.
...I don't know why, but we both laughed.
“So... can I ask your name?”
“Eh? A-ah.. name... name, yes..”.
The girl made a slightly troubled move and looked a bit difficult to say.
“Ah, um... I won't force you if you don't want to, know?”
“...No, no problem. I'm Luna. No more, no less.”
“O-okay..”.
Is there more or less than his real name?
“Oh, I. Yuuya Tenjou. And, this kid is Night.” [T/n: He changed the order of his name.]
"Feed!"
“Family name? Are you noble? And this... black dog? Is…"
“No, not like that, but..”
In this world, the order seems to be “name and surname”, so I did that.. but now that I think about it, having a surname seems unusual, to begin with.
“Luna-san, I heard you train like me.. But do you plan to continue your training here in the future?”
“. I can't go home until the request is complete.”.
“Eh? Aah... But isn't that a little dangerous? If you are attacked by an elite group of goblins again like before.”.
I don't know for what reason Luna-san is training in this dangerous forest. That's why I have no right to stop him, but I'm still worried about him, so I said it out loud.
“U-umu.. Even so, I can't fight it.. ah!”
Luna-san seemed to know that it was dangerous, and she seemed to be very disturbed by it, but then she shouted as if she realized something.
“Then, Yuuya. Are you willing to join me in my training for a while?
“Eh?”
“I have a reason why I should stay in this Great Demon Nest. But Yuuya said it was too dangerous to do that, right? And Yuuya is also training in this Great Demon Nest.then I will also train with Yuuya, who seems to be able to defeat an elite group of goblins.”.
"Well…"
"What do you think? Are you willing to join me in my training for a while? [T/n: actually the same as above from raw.]
“Ehm..”.
…For me, I have no problem attending Luna-san's training. But I don't know how long I can last with that exercise. Instead, I would be more worried about resisting here, and then he would force himself to train in this forest alone.
"…I understand. I'll be taking your training for a while. ”
"Thul? That would be very helpful!”
"However! I sometimes can't take training, so I'm sorry about that. Also, it is not good for you to train today, you should go home quietly. If you can accept these terms, I'll help you. ”
“Mu... I have no problem with not being able to attend training sometimes. I can't always be here either. But do I have to go home today?”
"Yes, of course. Because even though you've recovered, you're still doing some damage. Get a good night's rest for today.”
Luna-san seemed to be unhappy with my terms, but eventually, she agreed, even though she puffed her cheeks.
"…okay. I'll take Yuuya's words for today.”
"Thank you."
"But! You should be with me tomorrow, okay? ”
"I understand."
I replied, and Luna-san nodded in satisfaction.
“Un.. So from now on we will train together. You don't need to call me with an honorary degree. I don't mind if you call me by my name too. ”
“I-so? Then... once again, greetings.”
"Yes!"
So, it was decided that I would train with Luna for what she deserved. As I thought about how strange this was, I noticed that Luna was looking at her own body and worrying about something.
"What's wrong?"
"Hmm? I was attacked by the goblin elites before, and my body was very dirty from escaping desperately. I've been sweating a lot and.”.
Luna frowned as she said that, sniffing herself and reassessing her current clothes again.
"…no. I can't go back to the city with this look. If only there was a river somewhere.”.
"If that's the case ... Do you want to take a shower?"
"Huh?"
Luna tilted her head at my suggestion.
"Make you mean ... shower it?"
“I don't know what the perception of a bath is in Luna's mind, but since I'm taking a shower right now, I think it's a good idea to do it.”
“You've had a shower?”
Luna's eyes widened at my words. Well, that's the kind of reaction I'm going to get. But I have a bathtub that I can really take with me everywhere, so I can't blame it. It had become one of the entertainment items for Night and me, but it was a pretty good item to have in this kind of situation.
“Yuuya.. I don't want to doubt you, but there's no way I'll trust you if you tell me that you're taking a shower or something. After all, bathing is a luxury that can only be owned by nobles or the rich, you know? Moreover, we are at the entrance of the Great Demon Nest.”.
“Ah, for the bath... If not mistakenly remember, it is from the Crystal Deer? It was a drop item I got from monsters, and I was able to make it invisible to the people around me when I used it. You also do not have to worry about monsters. Also, Night and I will be watching you.”
“K-crystal Deer?”
Luna looked even more surprised and nodded slowly after thinking for a moment.
“...If you say that much. I'll accept your kindness.”
“Alright, then I will prepare it.”
After that, I set the bathtub in front of Luna, she was very surprised to see it, and then she was obsessed with the charm of the bathhouse.
