Chapter 72
When I woke up in the morning I couldnt move again. I wonder why its always like this.
After resting for a while, the tent in tent1 also somehow calmed down, when I crawled out of the tent, the adventurers were preparing breakfast. After eating breakfast with everyone, I put away the tent I borrowed from Azide-san and resumed our journey to Ikebu town with Azide-san and the adventurers.
The carriage the adventurers rode moved ahead and the carriage rode by Azide-san followed, such was the formation of the 2 carriages. We board on Azide-sans carriage. It became overweight since there are 4 people on board plus the luggage, it slowed down the speed of the carriage.
Horse-san, please do your best!
Elena cast recovery magic on the horse and somehow managed to keep the speed. As it is, we wont be able to arrive at the Ikebu town by the end of the day. I want to conceal the teleportation as much as possible. By the way, when we came to the rescue yesterday, everyone lost their consciousness and became confused. It seemed that they didnt see when I used teleportation.
Aya, get off the carriage and run. Why!~ Its overweight, I felt sorry for the horse. Well then, you should do the running, niichan.
Its alright, we dont need to make the benefactor run. Also, a person wont be able to keep up with a carriage by running. We just need to camp out again tonight if we wont be able to arrive by today.
It would be bad if we camp out once again tonight. Aside from Ayas Junior College, I cant be absent from work without leave.
Well then, let the two of us run! Well, it cant be helped.
Then, Ill also run. Elena should remain on the carriage and look out for the horse. Yes, I understand.
Wait a minute Seiji-san, no matter how you look at it, its absurd. Its fine.
Without listening to Azide-sans plead, Aya and I jumped off the carriage and started running.
Seiji-sama and Aya-san, good luck!~ Ou.Y-es!~
With the effect of the status, Im not tired after running close to sprinting speed. But, we werent able to immediately run along with the horse.
Seiji-san, are you really alright?
Azide-san spoke to me from the coachman seat of the carriage.
Its fine, its fine. As expected of Seiji-sama.
Elena also sat on the coachman seat and root for us.
I continued to run for while but Aya gradually became exhausted.
Nii-changive mecandyMPrunning out.
Ayas breathing became ragged, breaking up her dialogue.
What the, Aya has been cheating by using magic? Huh!?Niichanarentusingmagic!? Its the difference of training. Damn!
After giving candy to Aya, she began to run vigorously again usingStrength recovery reinforcement,Movement speed reinforcementandTailwind.
Seiji-san, what was the thing you gave to Aya? That one?Thats a food for restoring magic power, would you also like to try eating it, Azide-san? N? Is it okay? Theres plenty of it, help yourself.
I handed a candy to Azide-san and he threw it into his mouth, giving a strange evaluation.
Its sweet.~So, it restored magic power. N? Its sweet so its restored magic power? You didnt know?Sweet food restores magic power while salty food restores strength.
That reminds me, salt is one of the ingredients used to brew strength recovery potion. Perhaps, with sugar and salt it can restore HP and MP?Lets try it next time.
Im thinking such a thing while running whenVigilancemagic informed me ofCaution. When I checked it out, it seems there are monsters in front.
Aya, there are monsters in front.Make a sortie! Right, right away.
I putQuickmagic on Aya while at the same time, Aya usedWind gustand immediately accelerate.
Seiji-san, what happened to Aya-san?She ran at high-speed. Since there are monsters in front, she went to subjugate them. Huh!?Is it alright to go alone? Its fine.
After a while, Aya subjugated the five goblins and was waiting on the side of the road.
Did you take the ears? Do it onii-chan.~ No good, have you forgot about the disappointment of yesterday? *blood rising* I understand.~
When Aya was taking the goblins ears, the adventurers also stopped and got off the carriage, they dug a hole to bury the goblins in our stead. What a nice people.~ Apparently, its a manner for adventurers to bury the subjugated goblins in a hole. All the goblins that I subjugated until now were put inside the inventory, there seemed to be no value in keeping them so I dug a hole and buried them this time.
We advanced while subjugating goblins several times and I was questioned on how I discovered the monsters in advance each time. I covered it up well since its a rare skill after all.~
After a while, theres a high tower that can be seen from the gaps of the trees.
Theres a tower that came into view.~ It finally came into view. Thats theThe tower of sunriseof Ikebu town.
I heard a lot from Azide-san about theTower of sunrise, he said that it has 60 levels, it seems no one reached beyond the 3rd level yet since there is no stairs to climb on to from the 3rd level. It seemed to say that we need to climb it. Once we finished our investigation about the war, I want to climb it by all means.
While advancing further and looking at theTower of sunrise, we finally arrived at theIkebu townwhen the sun has begun to set. We were insistently invited by Azide-san to a banquet to celebrate our safe arrival, but we refused it, we immediately returned home to Japan without exploring the city.
