『Port City Lindonburg: Bar』
「………………*gesori/being disheartened*」 Kazuha
「Hm? Aww, do we need to depart now eh… What’s wrong Kazuha? Why are you that worn out?」 Selen
Yeah. A lot happened.
A lot of scary stuff…
「Tao and Ruru are waiting outside♪ Selen-san too needs to get ready to go to the 《Ancient City Amzeria》♪」 Rei
「?」 Selen
Whatever…
Don’t ask anything…。
『Port City Lindonburg: South gate exit』
「Ah, oh yeah. The monsters in this are is much stronger than the ones in 《Azerlaims》, so everyone needs to keep their guards up」 Kazuha
During my 『1st time』 I was in a 3-man party with Graham and Lily, and on our way we encountered a myriad of hardships so we had to walk back to 《Lindonburg》.
We repeated the process of rest in the inn, buy new items then retry… because of this we leveled up ’til we reach Amzeria.
So nostalgic~.
「… I don’t want to hear that from Kazuha who has a half-baked equipment, though」 Tao
Correct, Tao-san!
「… Well, it’s no problem since we have Rei and Selen as vanguard. So we will be taking it easy at the back just like before」 Ruru
But the little girl said a much correct statement.
「Ah. But now I’ll be the one to vanguard, cause I wanna level up my skills in 『greatsword』 too. (…I need to move my body if not then, I’ll be defiled in a lot of places or get cursed… KU…!)」 Kazuha
「? … Did you whisper something, Kazuha-sama?」 Rei
Rei stated while her eyes blinked with surprise.
Scratch that, you’re the one who defiled meeeeeee!!
「… I don’t understand anything you said but… I take it that we will be taking it easy behind you, right?」 Selen
「That’s it~」 Kazuha
‘
I put my 《Zwei Hander》 on my shoulder while advancing in front of the team.
Yep. So heavy.
It’s meaninglessly heavy.
「… Well then, let’s go! As we 『kill time』!」 Kazuha
We then step forward to the 《Ancient City Azerlaims》――.
「Yoishotto」 Kazuha
『GUOOOooooo！！！！！！！！』
It seems like I have made a pretty stone wall after cleaving the golem monster as I point towards the City.
「Ah. How nostalgic…. He—y! You can see the city here—!」 Kazuha
I see my 4 allies as I look back munching on the different snacks they have in hand chatting.
「You’re having picnic!」 Kazuha
I took a snack from Ruru’s left hand, while she’s busy chattering, then took it to my mouth.
Ruru after noticing me kicked me with all her might promptly after the unusual event. It hurts…!
「Jeez… Kazuha-sama? If you really want it so much the I will… Here, say 『Aahh』♪」 Rei
I don’t want, Rei-san…
「In the end it took a whole day until we arrive at 《Amzeria》, right. Can we meet the prime minister in the morning, Rei-san?」 Tao
「… Sheesh… Ah, hmm? Ah, yes we can. We did already arrive, I’ll just do my reporting end so everyone should find and rest. It was a long travel so I’m sure everyone is tired」 Rei
「Yep. Right on」 Kazuha
I’m T-I-R-E-D!
「… I don’t know what wold happen to us if Rei weren’t here… to our 《mercenary party》…」 Selen
You said a somewhat rude thing, Selen.
I can do it too, when the time comes, ya kno!
Though mostly I don’t!
「… It’s the same as selfishly borrowing and eating my precious snacks. I’m sure that we will fail the very first request then request will no longer come.」 Ruru
Hey little girl.
Don’t include your grudges, just don’t.
『Gururururururu…』
Oh.
It seems like the good smell attracted the monster, before I know it, they’re completely surrounding us-.
「Okay~! Ruru will defeat the monsters by kicking it really hard—!」 Kazuha
I prepare 《Zwei hander》, then immediately thrust towards the monsters.
This sword really is uselessly heavy…。
『Ancient city 《Amzeria》』
The city is surrounded by an impressive giant stone built gate, the most important city in the 《Rakshadia Republic》, 《Amzeria》.
A country that doesn’t follow the system of 『monarchy』 like 《Azerlaims Empire》, governed by the person called 『prime minister』, someone that the public has voted.
And indeed, something like a castle doesn’t exist here only the holy land 《Amzeria》. A place where different people from many countries gather to wish and gather faith in oneself.
In the middle of it is an idiotically large 《Ancient Library》.
I had stopped by during my 『1st time』 with Graham and the lot to skim through various books, but as all of them, and specially those written in 『Ancient Alphabet』, are usually lent only to people who have gone through years of practice (though of course they should be just copies), I was left with a deep impression. [Credits to “Jorgelotr-san” for correcting this line]
Up north is the 《Amzeria Church》.
The most influential religion here in 《Rakushadia Republic》, the 《Amzeria Doctrine》 it seems.
Down south is the 《Ancient museum》.
They exhibit the excavated armors and tableware, they say.
Then, at the east is a parliament house where all the big shots meet, west is something the 《second hand of the moon》, I don’t really get it but they say that it’s a 『Clock tower』.
Somehow half of it seems like a 『tourist attraction』 but during the 『Spirit-Demon war』 centuries of war has occurred here. This is also the birth place of the 《magic gene》 which was extracted from a 『demon』 then transferred to a 『human』, even the research was done in 《Rakushadia Republic》 wherein it was first done by their ancestors.
「… I shall proceed towards the parliament house to report that we have arrived. Tao-san, can I leave the inn case to you?」 Rei
「Certainly~. Selen will surely go to the bar so, leave the 『two problem child』 to me~」 Tao
Good grief… who’s that?
the 2 problem child causing Tao problems…
…
…..
WHY IS IT ME AND RURU!?
「… Tao-san? Am I the same as Kazuha…?」 Ruru
Hey you!
If I seriously get depressed then I won’t recover!
「Jeez… I would like it if our party’s solidarity would refrain from faltering with something like this…….. The I’ll now head to the bar」 Selen
「「「You’re the one that’s not refrainiiing!!!」」」
「Oh my♪ Everyone is in chorus」 Rei
With that, we—.
— in a way, our astounding party’s solidarity was sure enough shared…?
