“Was it the day after the first attack to the fortress line? I happened to stay there as well, and then same as you guys, I came across an ogre who is capable of speaking human language.”
“Is it true!?”

Unexpectedly, Ryuzaki lost his composure. Human language speaking ogre. It is probably about Goubayas.h.i.+.

“He struggled to arrive at the fortress with serious injuries. Although Carol was against it, still, we treated his wounds and sheltered him in the fortress line for a few days.”
“Was it only an ogre? Other than that…”
“He was alone. I heard that he lost sight of his companion.”

It’s about Kaoruko who accompanied him. To say losing sight of her, it couldn’t be anything gentle. Is it due to an accident, or is it due an incident? The fact that Goubayas.h.i.+ himself was injured to the point of requiring a few days of treatment accelerated the commotion in Kyousuke group’s hearts.
Could they have been attacked by the red winged devils as well?

“So, he is…”
“After his injuries were healed, the person himself requested a few more days of training and then headed south.”
“To the South…”

Ryuzaki pondered.

“If everyone doesn’t want to stay in the Kingdom and instead aim for master Majina’s place, I recommend that you take a detour once to the North or South.”

The Queen told them so, and Selena once again spread open the map.

If going straight east from the kingdom, they would be pa.s.sing through a big highway. On the way, there were many big countries and cities, including the Empire, so there was a possibility of receiving unnecessary attacks.
This kingdom, which was at the westernmost end of the human living area, was surrounded by steep mountains in the North and South. They were told that the relatively safe routes were to take a detour to the side or to head to the East of the continent through the ocean where it was difficult for the Empire’s hands to reach.

“I got it.”

Ryuzaki once again knelt on one knee and lowered his head to the Queen. Kyousuke also hurriedly imitated him.

“Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Your Majesty.”
“Whatever way you may choose, I pray for your good luck.”

Kyousuke and Ryuzaki, as they were, lowered their heads to Selena, and left the audience room behind.

In the Kingdom, it seemed that a bazaar was held once a week. It was organized by the Continental Guild, which was said to have a lineup not often seen in this country locating in the countryside of the continent. The students of 2nd year cla.s.s 4 were allowed to go to the big bazaar under the condition that they were to be supervised by the knights.
As a result of close to 40 monsters coming out, the citizens were given a good scare. Obstruction to business was also thought to be serious, but once it was understood that they were harmless, the bazaar gradually regained its energy.

Kyousuke and the others, when leaving the palace, headed to the bazaar. Everyone in the cla.s.s had received some pocket money under the pretext of a reward for protecting Princess Selenade. As it was 『shopping』 for the first in over a month, the spirit of the students had increased considerably.

“Inugami-san, what are you looking for?”
“…Underwear. When I transform, it’s troublesome to take off.”
“Ca–cannot be that

you’re not wearing any…”

This was a conversation between Sak.u.ma and Inugami. The figure of Akai wasn’t around. That girl was going around the bazaar with her followers, Harui and Hebitsuka. The girls were in high spirits because of the unusual perfume and cosmetics of the different world. The merchants of the Merchant Guild were truly indomitable, even if the other party were monsters, they wouldn’t step back and instead continued to do business as usual.
As usual, Sugiura was looking for rare ingredients and new cooking utensils. After all, there was a limit to subst.i.tute pots, kitchen knives, etc that could be excavated from the dungeon. Hanazono was looking for seeds and seedlings, and k.u.mosaki was looking for clothing accessories.

“Oi, Salmon. Look at this. It’s j.a.panese manga…”
“It’s true. It has been translated into this world’s language.”

The schoolboys were more free. They simply looked for rare things, surprising things and guffawed together. Completely the mood of a field trip. Well, looking at it from a different perspective, being in this different world could be said to be a field trip of some kind.
As for the students who were trying to buy indulgent goods like bewitching shunga, alcohol and tobacco, they were being chased around by the public morals committee member Kensaki with her newly bought wooden sword.

Although their original forms had yet to return, it felt like they finally could spend their time as humans after a long while.

“Yahhoo, Utsurogi-kun!”

Rin while bouncing ∗tappon tappon∗, came up to Kyousuke’s place.

“Himemizu. What did you buy?”
“Because they were selling some cool-looking stones, I bought it! Look, it’s extremely cool!”
“You didn’t hesitate to splendidly throw away your money into such dubious things…”

Looking at the extremely cool-looking stones that could be picked up at a nearby riverbank that Rin proudly displayed, Kyousuke felt lukewarm.

“What about Akira?”
“I’m looking for interesting books.”
“Really. That seems like you.”
“You’ve met Queen-sama, right? How was it? Did you understand anything?”

Finished putting away the stones in her knapsack, Rin asked. Given that the knapsack wasn’t being carried on her back, it was doubtful whether it was necessary to put things inside, well, such matter was a problem of feeling.
When asked whether he understood anything, Kyousuke felt down.

There are a lot of things that we know. However, there are also many things that need to be decided at the same time.

“Does Himemizu want to turn back to normal?”
“Well, that’s right~. Does it seem to be difficult?”
“It doesn’t seem easy.”

Because Ryuzaki was going to told the whole cla.s.s again tomorrow. Kyousuke gave a brief explanation about the story he heard during the audience to Rin, all at once. The fact that it was necessary to borrow the hand of one of the three Great Sage of the continent, master Majina, as well as the long journey to get there. And then, touching the subject of living care-freely in this country as per the suggestion of the Queen.

“I see~.”

Rin nodded.

“In this case, it seems that the opinion of the cla.s.s is going to split.”
“It will?”
“Just maybe, I think that it won’t be safe even if we were to be sheltered by this country.”

The words that she said so clearly was unexpected. Kyousuke tilted his head.

“Why do you think so?”
“No matter how you think about it, the reason why those Red Wings attacked the base was because of us.”

Even if they were to be hidden away in a safe place inside this country, the red winged devils were aiming for 2nd year cla.s.s 4. There was plenty of possibility that they would invade inside the country disguising themselves as humans, or even simply attacked directly from the front, it wasn’t hard to imagine that the heat would reach them.
And as the battle intensified, if it became known that they were aiming for Kyousuke and the others, the citizens’ anger would turn over here. There was a possibility that the dissatisfaction and distrust of the royal family might grow stronger, and there would be no room to shelter some monsters of unknown nature.

“Why the heck are those guys aiming for us in the first place?”
“They were saying whether we would be useful or not…”

In any case, it’s useless. I don’t understand at all. Some predictions can be made, but none of those are convincing.
We found out many things. But there’s still too much that we don’t understand.

“Well, now is not the time to think about such difficult stuffs!”
“Waa…”

Rin raised a cheerful voice and slapped Kyousuke’s back. As the battle a few days ago had exhausted all of her water storage, she was now completely in normal mode. Still, her back slap was quite strong.

“It’s useless even if we were to worry by ourselves, we should share the troubles with everyone tomorrow.”
“Ah, yeah…. Well that’s right.”
“Hoi~, that’s that! Let’s have a taste of these delicious-looking delicacies that I bought!”
“The cool-looking stones?”
“No, that is kinda…. It’s this~!”

From her knapsack, Rin took out jerky and stuffs one after another. It seemed that she had bought a lot.
He felt that her cheerfulness was quite helpful. If Rin wasn’t here, Kyousuke might have been crushed by the weight of the situation long ago. And it wasn’t just Kyousuke. Surely, Akira was the same. That guy looked like that, but it appeared that he was deeply grateful to Rin.

That everyone can work hard little by little.
And also that we ourselves are humans. She taught us so.

“Thank you. Himemizu is amazing.”
“Ehhh!? What? Suddenly thanking me!? Wait a mi … yeah! You are welcome!”

Rin suddenly became confused, and it was Rin who repeatedly made rapid deformations, but at the end she said so clearly.

“To~tsu, for now, take a seat on that bench! Let’s eat! I also bought some juice … ahh, it spilled…”
“So you are a colored marble now?”
“Eh~, it’s a lie. Is it dissolving in me? What to do? Utsurogi-kun, dr–drink…?”
“I can drink it but…”

Kyousuke scratched his head ∗pori pori∗.

“Since the part that I drink will just spill like that, somehow it feels terribly wasteful.”
“It will be perfect if I drink that part! Amazing! We can enjoy each others’ tastes indefinitely!”
“Himemizu who can think up such an idea and still say that we ourselves are humans is amazing…”

In the end, Kyousuke decided to buy the juice that Rin spilled again. After this, whether they stayed in the country, or left the country, they probably wouldn’t have much time to behave like humans in the human living area.
Then, at the very least, I should fully enjoy the only time we can still doing shopping like now.

By the way, the juice that he bought and drank was completely taken by Rin in the end.
