EP12. From the beginning
After Levy’s answer, there was silence between the two for a while. Not only Levy, who accepted it so meekly, but also Sean, who smirkingly led the situation, must have overcome the limits of shame in the end.
“·······.”
“·······.”
The two quietly resumed their meal. As if he had completely forgotten what the conversation had just been.
After quite some time, Levy, who regained his composure, asked Sean.
“Then shall we not go?”
“Hmm. Okay. OK.”
“Are you okay?”
Levy asked the question over and over again, even after hearing Sean’s consent. Sean nodded his head coolly.
“I told you. The important thing is not revenge, but an adventure with you.”
“・・・・Yes. That’s right.”
Levy was small. As she was, so was Sean.
As if the most important being to a girl is a boy. A boy is also nothing more precious than a girl.
“Then shouldn’t we decide where to go next?”
Levy, lost in thought, came to his senses at Sean’s words. As he said, it is time to leave Elioden. As long as you decide to continue your adventure, you can’t stay in one city for thousands of years.
But where should I go?
Levi didn’t have a specific place that came to mind. The purpose of the adventure itself became clear, but apart from that, a specific place was not decided.
When I first started my adventure, I had a certain place. It happened to be right next to the village, and I just had to head to Laes, which was infested with monsters.
It could be said that he failed to achieve his desired goal in Laes. Her head hurts when she thinks of all the trouble she had to get caught up in this and that.
“Is Sean somewhere else you want to go?”
“Um… Well. I think it would be nice for him to be able to do adventure activities…”
“Adventurer activities…”
Levy agrees with Shawn. However, there is no specific information on where to do the adventurer activities.
Yes. They both lacked too much information.
Are there many monsters on Vitalua Beach? I thought about accepting the knight’s offer, but as expected, I just shook my head. No matter how much I thought about it, going to Vitalua Beach right now didn’t seem like a good idea. Because there were obviously still a lot of immature parts of the two skills.
“By the way, can I not meet that article?”
“Huh?”
“Aren’t you supposed to say no?”
“Uh… He said he would leave if we didn’t come.”
Still, I think it would be better to meet and refuse. However, it would be better to clearly express the intention of rejection rather than leaving the unsatisfactory part.
Levy agreed to Shawn’s proposal.
“Then let’s go out and refuse and come back.”
“Did you finish your breakfast?”
At Sean’s question, Levy looked down at her own belly and stroked it. Levy, who was sweeping his stomach as if measuring how full it was, immediately smiled and spoke.
“It’s still not enough, but I’ll even eat it for lunch. What.”
“…Wasn’t enough.”
Shawn nodded his head, trying to figure out that since he hadn’t eaten anything yesterday.
***
Valent readily accepted the polite refusal of the two.
“Okay. If so, I can’t help it.”
“····Is it okay if we don’t follow?”
“I don’t know that either. I haven’t checked Vitalua’s situation yet either.”
Obviously he doesn’t care much, but somehow Sean and Levy feel a little guilty. Of course, that didn’t mean that the decision was overturned as easily as flipping the palm of your hand.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t force you guys.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“If you have a chance, please come to Vitalua. You are always welcome.”
“Yes. All right.”
As soon as the conversation was over, Valent immediately walked away without regret. It seemed that he was going to head to Vitalua right away. Looking at his back, Sean murmured in a low voice.
“…He is a peculiar person.”
“Isn’t it? I felt it yesterday too.”
Memorizing the information that, although somewhat peculiar, he did not seem to be a bad person, Sean and Levy began to think about their next destination again.
At the moment when he was lost in thought, Levy remembered what he had heard before and shouted to Sean.
“Ah! Come to think of it, the teacher told me!”
“Teacher…? Oh, Count?”
Shaun reflected on what she had said. Soon, as he said good-bye to her, the words she had heard began to vaguely come to mind.
“Then then… Who was it?”
“I would have said Baron Robert.”
Levi immediately took something out of her arms. It was a letter of introduction she had received from Viola before. I don’t know exactly what it says because I haven’t opened it, but it’s probably a favorable story about the two and a request for convenience.
“Good! Then what do you say to the baron?”
“Hmm. An area worthy of hunting monsters? Or not····.”
“Alternatively, we can decide by simply listening to the surrounding geographic information.”
“That might be okay too.”
Sean and Levy looked into each other’s eyes and nodded. The two immediately moved to Baron Robert’s mansion.
***
Baron Robert, who read the letter of introduction that the two handed over, moved his gaze to the two and said.
“I’ve already heard the general story from the Count. What help do you need?”
“Uh… It’s because we’re adventurers. Do you know a place to hunt monsters?”
At Sean’s rather absurd question, Robert raised his eyebrows in response.
“I don’t know what that means. Wasn’t it the city of adventure where you came from?”
“That’s it. There is a situation there. To put it simply, the monster subjugation is virtually over.”
“Is that so? I didn’t know because the people around him weren’t particularly interested.”
After that, the baron, who was silent for a while, took out a map from the drawer and spread it on the desk. Apparently, it was a map showing all of the kingdom’s territory.
“Monsters are annoying, so there are many different places to visit, not just in Laes.”
The baron took a picture of a total of three places on the map and explained them one by one.
From noble mtl dot com.
“Vitalua. It is famous for being home to the most powerful monsters. Thanks to this, it is a place where madmen who do not regret their lives flock to it.”
“Delphane. This is where the news of the recent increase in monsters has been heard. However, since it is far from here, it will take at least a month by wagon.”
“Henerd. This place has long been famous for having many monsters. Compared to Raes, the monsters are clearly on the weak side, so even less skilled adventurers often visit this place.”
He gave me a total of three places. Vitalua. Delpane. Henerd.
You have to choose one of these places. The baron was looking at the two as if to do something.
The two exchanged opinions with each other’s eyes and began to decide on a destination.
Actually, there are three places mentioned, but it should be said that there are two places that are on the line of the two’s troubles.
Because Vitalua was a place I had already decided not to go to. Besides, if the danger of the monsters was high, there was no reason to go now.
Then, Delphane and Henerd are left. Both had their own pros and cons.
First of all, Delpane said that the news about the increase in monsters had only recently been heard, so the odds of something absurd happening that there are no monsters upon arrival, as in the case of Laes, are slim.
As expected, the problem was the distance. It was said that it would take at least a month by carriage, so even if it was far, it was too far.
Henerd, on the other hand, was close. Even on foot, it could be reached within a week.
There is only one problem here. That the monsters in the area are weak. Monsters that are too strong are not good, but there was also an ambiguous part to deal with weak monsters.
It’s just that the skills of the two haven’t been perfected yet, and they certainly have skills that are close to the top even when it comes to adventurers. Compared to the Silent Wolf, which was said to be the best in Laes right now, can’t you see a rough answer?
Sean won the duel with the leader, Hector, and Levy needless to say.
“It seems difficult to decide. Is it okay if I make a suggestion?”
“Uh, yes. What is your suggestion?”
“Personally, I recommend Henerd.”
Henerd. It was close, but it was an area where monsters were weak.
“Why?”
“You. How many monsters have you caught?”
“A monster…? I think I caught it pretty well though…”
Since he started his journey, Shaun thought of the monsters he had hunted one by one.
Then the baron shook his head and said.
“It’s not the one that was eliminated by punching and punching. It was officially hunted according to the association’s policy.”
“Uh… Then only once…”
There was none except for one time when I participated to obtain adventurer qualifications. Come to think of it like this, I really didn’t do my adventurer activities properly.
“I know roughly that you guys have excellent skills. But can you call yourself an outstanding adventurer?”
“·······.”
“·······.”
Sean and Levy couldn’t answer. Because what Robert said was true.
The two are much stronger than the other adventurers. But, compared to other adventurers, if you ask me if I’m better at catching monsters, I can never say yes to that answer.
“Soldiers go to war, adventurers subdue monsters. But you don’t look very adventurous to me.”
“·······.”
“It would be a good idea to try it from the beginning without being conceited.”
After the baron finished his suggestion, which was nothing short of advice, he clapped his hands once to lighten the mood.
“Of course, the choice is yours, so if you have a better plan, you can disregard me.”
Thanks to his advice, Sean and Levy, who correctly recognized the situation, shook their heads and bowed their heads in gratitude.
“No. Rather thank you.”
“Yes. Thank you. I will.”
“I’m glad you found it helpful.”
Robert looked at the phrase written on the letter of introduction and said to the two of them.
“When are you planning to leave?”
“Hmm. Because there’s no reason why there should be more. Maybe it’s today…?”
“Yes. It would be good to leave today.”
“Then I will prepare the wagon. If you go by carriage, maybe four days will suffice.”
At the undeserved kindness, Levy tilted her head and asked.
“Do you have any reason to go that far…?”
“Hmm. It’s nothing.”
The baron once again glanced at the letter of introduction.
The elegantly decorated letter of introduction contained only a very short and simple sentence.
[Because you are my disciple, I believe you will treat me well, but if you don’t…]
The afterwords were cut off without ending. Rather, it was a warning that felt more bloody because of that.
Anyway, Sean and Levy have a new destination.
I was headed to Henard.
