137 – Church of Neiros Two Dogs…
“I want to go back.”
A sigh came out of itself at the words of Arian, who was scattered in the wide carriage, in a mournful voice.
“Do you know how many times you said that?”
“I don’t know. I don’t think there’s any need to suffer like this.”
Ariane looked outside with empty eyes and let out a big sigh.
I honestly admit that the trip is getting a little bit longer, but is it that hard?
“… What do you think you should do on summer vacation?”
“Train, Learn, Relax.”
“Even if the first two are second, there is an element of rest mixed in here!!”
Aryan got up and grabbed me by the collar, shook me to the extent that my head was a little dizzy, and appealed to me with a desperate voice.
“rest! Let’s take a little break!! Out of 4 weeks of vacation, 3 weeks have passed, and during that time, let alone rest, all you could do was fight!?”
“No, but what are you playing with?”
“ocean! lake! Valley! There are even a few festivals held during this time, so are you saying there is nothing to play?”
Aryan asks me while showing the whites of his eyes, but the answer I can give is whether I must go at this time.
There are a lot of people at this time of year, and even if you go, all you have to do is play while splashing around in the water, but if you’re going to do that, wouldn’t it be better to just rest in a suitable place?
“… I’m sure my brother and I have only a year age difference, but why does it seem like I’m talking to an old man tens of years old when I talk to you?”
I flinched inwardly at Arian’s words, but I have no intention of repeating this.
People are going to take a break, but why are there so many crowds and people have to go to troublesome places?
“Then don’t you want to see the kids over there in their swimsuits?”
“swimsuit?”
Let’s ponder for a moment about Ariane’s words.
It’s certainly an attractive proposition. It’s nice to have a chance to see a different side of the person you like, but shouldn’t you do something?
“Still not… .”
“And there is an island ruled by our family.”
“What?”
Was there such a thing as an island ruled by our family?
When I thought about it, there was an island that I sold when I was a family head. It was geographically close to the continent, so it wasn’t bad as a tourist destination, but strangely, there were a lot of monsters, so I just sold it.
Also, there were reports of strange noises being heard.
“… Shall we go?”
It’s probably just around this time that people started unloading from the island.
Monsters appear often, but compared to other places, the quality is not as good, and the quantity is ambiguous, so even adventurers won’t go there.
“In terms of distance… There is a port nearby.”
“right!? I have to wait now or until next year, but if you are a man, I don’t want to do that!!
I guess he just wants to play?
“If you go by boat, it will take about 2 to 3 hours… . Can I do 3 nights and 4 days?”
“At the same time, for about 5 nights and 6 days… .”
“Don’t you calculate the distance to the academy?”
“You have teleport magic!”
“What about the wagon?”
“I’ll try something!!”
… Seeing that I really want this much, I wonder if they put honey on that island.
Do you want to go to the sea that much?
“… Endure it for about 4 nights and 5 days.”
“It was great!!”
Seeing the delighted Arian raising her hand, she sighed and turned the carriage toward the distant beach.
*****
“Hmm!!”
Arian, who got off the carriage, breathed in the air full of the scent of the sea with a smile on his face, and then exhaled loudly.
I don’t know why he’s like that, but seeing him smile makes me think that it wasn’t that bad.
“By the way, Bocchan. Is your body okay?”
When Rain, who had come out stretching, came next to me while smoothing out the wrinkles on his clothes, I nodded my head as usual. It’s rather scary to not have a real body problem, but there’s no need to be afraid.
If you were going to do it, what would you have done to your body right away?
“It’s the sea after all… You haven’t been here since you were young, have you?”
“So do i.”
It wasn’t long before they came out to the sea, and even when they came near the sea, they focused on subduing monsters and saving lives rather than playing. Because I thought it was enough to have fun even after everything was over.
“… Hey, what is that?”
As I stared at the emerald-glistening sea, Skaja tapped me on the shoulder and pointed to the horizon.
What is it?
I stare in the direction Skaya points, but all I see is the sea.
It doesn’t look like Skaya used magic, but she couldn’t have better eyesight than me.
“Are you seeing the sea for the first time?”
When I asked Skaya with a hopeless thought, the answer that came back was yes.
“yes. I’ve seen lakes, but this is the first time I’ve seen the sea.”
I grabbed the back of her neck in a hurry as Skaya, who was excited like a child with sparkling purple eyes, flinched as if she were about to jump into the sea.
“Do it later. You didn’t even buy a swimsuit, so what are you trying to get into?”
“Clothes can be dried with magic! I feel like the sea is calling me right now!!”
“Don’t be silly, wait.”
When I said it firmly to Skaya in the mood of admonishing a puppy, Skaya clicked her tongue and rushed to the swimsuit store far away while holding Lane’s wrist.
“Hey, why me!?”
“Because I have no money!!!”
… I’m sure he gave you quite a bit of money from killing monsters, right?
Why have you already spent all that money?
“What are you so worried about?”
As I looked at the mountains in the distance and thought seriously about the economy of Skaya, Minel threw off her armor and carefully sat down next to me.
“No, I just thought it was peaceful.”
I say it and laugh.
In fact, the world is far from peace now. The Demon King did not achieve perfect succession, but all the officers of the Demon King’s army are fine, and even the king of spirits is alive.
Crimes are still happening all over the world, and research related to mines may be underway, as happened in the Press family.
But regardless of that, the situation was so peaceful right now.
Rain and Skaya aren’t thinking about how to defeat their enemies, they’re seriously thinking about what to wear in swimsuits.
Neros is not bothered by anyone, and he sleeps in a small pocket in my chest.
Prin and Xenovia sip drinks while lamenting and talking about the past.
Ariane and Rianne seriously contemplate what to do when they get to the island, but they can’t erase the smiles from their faces.
Minel is not Ceres’s doll, but sits next to me thinking for herself.
“Right… It would be really nice if this world continued.”
Minel sympathized with my words and put a small wish in her mouth.
A wish that seems impossible to come true.
“I agree too.”
And I had the same opinion about that unfulfilled wish.
It is the peace that I have longed for.
I sincerely hope that this situation will continue for the rest of my life.
[‘I didn’t want to live as a virgin goddess’, considering how many times she’s truly regressed, should I call it a simple dream, or should I call it an absurd dream when I see her sincerely imagining that the world will become peaceful?]
where to worry
I wish the world was at peace.
There’s no way such a ridiculous dream could be so simple.
[‘I want to sleep with all women’ says I agree, and I sneak a peek at the scenery you’re looking at.]
It is a very beautiful scenery.
“I must get up soon.”
At Ariane’s call from far away, Minel stood up and reached out to me, shaking off the sand on her body.
After looking at that hand for a moment, I smiled and raised myself while holding it.
“thank you.”
“It was nothing.”
While holding Minel’s hand as it was, I heard a deafening sound as I moved forward step by step.
I almost frowned at the unpleasant sound of the familiar armor rattling, but due to the nature of trade, there is no choice but to leave this island quickly.
Clap!
“… what?”
Unless it only comes in front of me.
When a knight wearing pure white full plate armor blocked my path, Minel stared at the knight with a frown, so the knight… No, the paladin took out a pattern that he didn’t want to look at.
“A priest of the Neiros Church. It’s called Forea. The hero first accompanies us… !!”
Pew!!
“Ah, did these bastards really turn around?”
I couldn’t stand the kicks that extended to the horse, which was no different from that time.
What are these bastards doing here… .
“Wait a minute.”
Thinking of no way, I looked towards the bar where Xenovia and Prin were drinking until just now, and they were struggling to the point where they could see orange holy power and pure white magic radiating out in real time.
“ha… .”
The Church of Neiros these assholes.
When I took out my Nemesis, Minel also drew out her sword without hesitation.
From now on, I’m going to subdue the bastards of the church.
