It"s been a week since I came back from the capital, it would be 10 days in this world.
I have confirmed a little bit about my situation by talking to her a little bit every day since we returned to the village, and Helvetia would often disappear to not bother me that much as often as she could.
Well, she is able to appear immediately if I call out to her though, so things didn"t really change that much from before, but this time she is only interfering with my view to make her invisible from my sight.
After that time, we continued talking to each other bit by bit every day, and that made me understood that she is a good person.
「As Demon Lord, are you not going to try conquering us? 」
『What the heck are you talking about…… didn"t I tell you, that just like my predecessor, I signed a ceasefire agreement with humans. Don"t compare me to those idiotic warmongers, they are were all a pain to deal with』
「What about the current one? 」
『I don"t know if he is smart enough or worthy enough, but well, they won"t immediately declare war and break that contract that suddenly, they might be plotting to do so though』
Right now, peace continued for about a hundred years now, peace really is a good thing to have.
And, about Rikkchan, even though she cried a lot last time, after meeting her again after a while, she is now smiling and apologized about what happened last time.
「I really sorry about last time, I was just a little upset」
「Also sorry, that time, didn"t really expect that」
「Un, and about that, when will you go? 」
「Maybe, not right now, maybe soon」
「Is that so」
I haven"t talked about it to my parents yet, and the least that I could think of would be five years from now. That"s what I"ve thought, but there was also the part where I did win the tournament, but well, it doesn"t change the fact that I"m just a child. In the first place, there are many things that I can"t handle with only brute force.
Hearing my explanation, Rikkchan was deep in thought, but then shook her head and sighed, then she look at me with her usual smile as if nothing happened.
「Oh right, I have some errands that mom asked of me today, that"s why I need to return home now 」
「Nn, play again some other time」
「Un!」
It"s good that Rikkchan is fine now, I don"t to stay in that awkward situation that we had before, and so I felt relieved.
But I will still feel troubled leaving her behind when I go, and it"s not like I hated staying or living in the village. It"s because I had a taste of what it"s like to live in the city.
Haaah, my heart is in pain.
And then, at our house, mother boastingly retold to father about my event in the Battle Arena, and of course, father was shocked.
「Toto, you, you were that strong」
「Nn, it"s amazing right」
「It"s not that surprising for your father not to know, even your mother who was stronger in terms of the sword was not able to know about it 」
Fufun~, dad folded his arms and was thinking about something, I only found out that mom was way much stronger than dad, how did they meet each other. I"m really curious about how romance between them started.
「However, if you wanted to hunt monsters, then you would probably like to be an adventurer as well? 」
「Nn, want to be one」
「I would like to tell that it"s tough, but because I"m comparing to my Level who is a Rank C Adventurer, if you could aim higher then I"m sure that you will definitely be able to earn a lot, won"t that be great? 」
「wait, aren"t you rushing it a bit」
Mom halts dad from immediately deciding about being an adventurer, maybe, mom is against it, me being an adventurer.
「I"m not particularly against it, but you need to prepare a lot of things first, I don"t think that you would have any problems in terms of fighting though. But if you really want to be one, then first you need to find a good base, tools and things you would need to properly maintain yourself is necessary, and since the reward is small when you are just starting, it would be impossible to live in an inn with what you could earn on rewards for basic quests, you know? 」
「Prize money? 」
「Ah, certainly, if you have 1 million Griss you still won"t be able to rent a house, but staying on an Inn is probable, and you must not relly that much only on your prize money, you need to rank up a quickly as possible just to be sure」
「How much earned? 」
「Hmm, if you could reach Rank C as soon as possible, then it should be enough to support a stable lifestyle, even if you don"t work for a month, it will still be possible to live a normal life without having problems in a few weeks」
If everyone starts at F Rank, then C would be considered as intermediate rank going to upper rank so it is considered as a senior adventurer. I place my finger on my chin thinking as mom continues to explain.
「There will always be requests in any town or city that has a guild branch, but if you want a decent amount of low ranking quests continuously, then going to a city would be much better, joining parties would also make the quests much easier, also be sure to remember the faces of the knights and soldiers so you may ask for their a.s.sistance in case you are in trouble」
「I see, as I though, must stay in capital」
「when do you want to go? As a mother, I still think Toto is too young to do this, so I wanted for you to stay with us for a while」
「Father also feels the same way」
I was expecting for them to hold me back or deny it, but this, I was more surprised that they are actually willing to even let me go immediately if I wanted to.
But there"s still things I have to confirm with Rikkchan, so I guess I"ll put being an adventurer on hold for now? Well, if I really need to, I could still do my best again to get the prize money on the tournament next year.
「Nn, will not go for a while, not now」
「Ah right, I could give you my old stuff on the storage room, and I"ll also teach you how to use them on my spare time」
「Thank you」
I excitedly nodded, then made a guts pose with both hands.
I"m really glad, I will be receiving lectures from veteran adventurers, there were a lot of tools inside our storage that I have no idea on how they are used, and I would really like to know about it.
Then, a little more time has pa.s.sed, and it was about a month since I came back from the capital. Right now I am deep in a forest sitting in a wood stump which looks like a spot where a legendary sword could be found stabbed in it because the stump resembled a pedestal.
「Betti, listen, listen」
『what is it, so sudden』
When I called out to her, she immediately appeared in front of me, then with sparkling eyes, I asked her if she could do it, that is, become my training partner, but her eyes only swam around and answered.
『I, I don"t want to, because, well, because I have no body and can"t be touched, right? Besides, you won"t be much of an opponent against a demon lord, that"s why, do it on your own』
「But, I wanted to try fighting against a demon lord」
『This muscle brained person!』
Since I never had an opportunity to fight against a demon lord, I would like to know how much I would fair, because I wanted to be an adventurer, I want to test out my combat skills, this is also training in order to see the limits of what I could do……。
Helvetia breathed out a deep sigh as look at me.
『Although right now, it would be hard for me to do anything without having a body, I would like to create a body subst.i.tute someday. Because of being encased inside your magic body, even if I forcefully break out, I won"t be able to use magic and would only be as strong as a regular human』
「If it was me, if moved out, can"t return? 」
『No, though it won"t be impossible but I"m not really very good at this kind of manipulation. For me though, I would need a good catalyst which could receive huge amounts of mana in order to manifest, but because I won"t be able to recover if I"m out of your body, I won"t be able to use my almost inexhaustible magic continuously. Also, even if I"m able to tweak your magic your magic flow to send some to me, it will still be difficult to maintain』
「Magic, really, can"t use? 」
『Umu, in the first place, even if I did forcibly move out and use magic, this body won"t even be affected. Also with your current magic status, even if I forcibly possess you and switch our mental state, the body won"t be able to move the same way as I wanted since this body only knows how to fight in your style of fighting and won"t have any knowledge about magic battles』
「I see」
Either way is no good at the moment it seems, I"m sorry, I thought that it would be a great idea though.
When I was going gunununu and started to have a gloomy atmosphere she looks at my face and pointed her finger.
……something came out, but nothing happened.
『Though I won"t be able to do anything both physically or by magic, I could still reproduce images of spells, it won"t be much but it would at least let you know their threat levels』
「Let"s do it……」
When we were about to start and was quite excited, my ears suddenly caught sounds of animals running at high speed, I could also hear something heavy that is being dragged by them, and the direction they were heading to was the village.
Horses two, and that sound, a carriage? Are they competing on who would reach the village first? Hmmm, I could also hear some shouts but the voices was blocked by the noise.
「Need to go back」
『Umu』
I don"t feel like anything bad would happen to the village, but this kind of thing happening is really rare.
Putting pressure on my feet, I dashed towards the village reaching it earlier than the horses.
