Path heading towards Tetramine, inside a horse carriage .
I was talking to Eve and Celeste who decided to follow me .
[Are you sure you want to follow me?] (Ryouta)
[I will never let low level go by himself . ] (Eve)
[……Eh?] (Ryouta)
For some reason, Eve was looking at me with an incredibly serious stare .
[What do you mean… . ] (Ryouta)
[Because of Aurum . ] (Eve)
[Aurum? Why did her name pop up?] (Ryouta)
[Because that chibi is there . ] (Eve)
[You mean Mike . ] (Ryouta)
Eve slightly nodded .
[It was alright for low level to leave for a long time because you don’t need to fetch her anymore . ] (Eve)
[That is true . ] (Ryouta)
For a long while, whenever I leave the city, I had to come back early as Aurum wouldn’t be able to leave the dungeon .
But since the problem has been solved, I can take my time .
I wonder what sort of city Tetramine is, but I can finally stay for a longer period of time .
[Ouch . ] (Ryouta)
Eve suddenly chop me, and my head was tingling .
It’s been awhile since I was. .h.i.t by her incredibly quick chops .
[If low level is gone, carrots will be gone as well . ] (Eve)
[Now I get it . ] (Ryouta)
I bitterly smiled .
So it’s the same reason as Aurum, is what she’s trying to say .
[So that’s why you tagged along . ] (Ryouta)
[That’s right . ] (Eve)
[But then there’s no carrot drop there though?] (Ryouta)
[If there’s no carrots, I just have to hit low level . ] (Eve)
[Alright alright, I’ll try to solve the problem ASAP . ] (Ryouta)
[Good . ] (Eve)
She nodded in satisfaction .
This time I faced towards Celeste .
[Then how about you Celeste?] (Ryouta)
[I’ve done some research, and it seems that there are places in Tetramine which has the least amount of Magical Storms . ] (Celeste)
[Is that so?] (Ryouta)
[Yes, I might be of use, you know . ] (Celeste)
[I see, that’s helpful . ] (Ryouta)
[You’re welcome . ] (Celeste)
Celeste smiled, but her face became slightly red .
It’s encouraging for Celeste to follow .
And one word of thanks really isn’t enough for it .
[I should give you something in return . Anything you want me to do for you?] (Ryouta)
[We’re friends though?] (Celeste)
[I can’t feel at ease if I don’t do something in return . ] (Ryouta)
[I see . Let me think about it . If I come up with something, I’ll tell you . ] (Celeste)
[Aah, please do so . ] (Ryouta)
Celeste smiled with grin all over her face .
With my two friends in the horse carriage, we chatted till we went to Tetramine .
[Hiiiii!!!]
Hearing the horse neigh, the carriage came to a halt .
Opening the window, I looked out and asked the driver .
[Are we here?] (Ryouta)
[No . ]
He shook his head and stared forward .
Then I turned to where he was looking .
There were a few carriages stopped there, with people gathering there as well .
Beyond the mountain of people, the city is visible in a distance of about 30 minutes by carriage .
About half of the people were looking there, but n.o.body dared to move forward .
[I wonder what happened?] Celeste too popped her head out and asked .
[I wonder, let’s ask around . ] (Ryouta)
[Alright . ] (Celeste)
[How about you Eve?] (Ryouta)
[If rabbit doesn’t have her carrots, she can’t work . ] (Eve)
I see, so she refused to move then .
Well, we’re just going to ask around .
Leaving Eve behind, Celeste and I went ahead to the people who were waiting .
[What happened?] (Ryouta)
[No but—-Ooh, if it isn’t Ryoutsan . ]
[Yeap . ] (Ryouta)
I nodded .
Seems like the guy knows me .
I don’t know him, but I feel like I’ve seen his uniform before .
It was a uniform from the . Looking at that, I asked again .
[What is up with the hold up?] (Ryouta)
[No, it was unexpected . With this, we can’t even enter the city . ]
[… . . ?] (Ryouta)
Looking at that unexpected look with a bitter smile, I tilted my head .
The city of Tetramine, the entrance .
Finally Celeste and I, and also the people of the Swallow’s Repayment followed as well .
Standing at the entrance, I immediately understood the situation .
Tetramine was not an environment where people could live .
Monsters were wandering around the city, making it h.e.l.l .
[How did this happen?] (Ryouta)
[Probably because the city’s funds have been exhausted . ] (Celeste)
Celeste immediately said with some guessing .
[They might not be able to dispose the trash . ] (Celeste)
[Now that you mention, there are a ton of Frankensteins . ] (Ryouta)
[I see, Celeste was originally working as a trash disposer . ] (Ryouta)
[Yup . If they don’t get paid, they won’t work, so this is what happens . ] (Celeste)
[I see now . ] (Ryouta)
When I came here, it reminded me of a rural area where the streets are full of shops with shutters up .
I looked behind me .
All of them were business owners, they can’t fight .
No wonder they can’t get into the city .
Celeste who noticed my sight said .
[They probably didn’t expect this catastrophe . ] (Celeste)
[That is true . But then I heard that they bought the land… . But they actually didn’t come?] (Ryouta)
I guess it’s like moving the doc.u.ments from the right to the left of their desks’ .
[Then, I suppose we should sweep these monsters . ] (Ryouta)
[I’ll help . ] (Celeste)
[Then please support me . ] (Ryouta)
[I got it—– Are you not going to use your guns?] (Celeste)
[Yeap . ] (Ryouta)
I nodded, then naturally started walking .
I walked in front of the flock of rogue monsters .
[Repet.i.tion . ] (Ryouta)
The strongest farming magic .
As I proceeded, I just fired Repet.i.tion everywhere .
The monsters disappeared one after another .
I went straight at the heart of the Frankensteins and defeated them .
There were some monsters which I didn’t defeat .
[Eruption!] Celeste chanted a strong magic .
Some of the monsters that I ignored were defeated by her .
I decided to leave it to her .
Like a detergent clearing oil stains .
[ [ [Ooooooh!! ] ]
The crowd behind us cheered as we swept away the nest of rogue monsters in Tetramine .
