(part 1)
"Uuh, why do carriage have to shake so much... "
Amalie groans inside the carriage.
It"s already two weeks since they’d been on this carriage, and even now she still didn’t get used with her car sickness.
"Come on... I"ll use healing magic on you, come here"
"Uuuuh… I"m sorry, I kept bothering you like this..."
Even when her face become red, she still come to Isagi"s side.
What a polite girl.
"But, come to think again, Issan, you are acquaintances with my father, right?"
Franz who sat right in front of Isagi, put his hand on his chin as he tilted his head on the side.
"Even though you"re so young, why? As long as I know about it, father should have always on journey"
"Umm..."
Isagi become confused on how to answer that question, and before he could answered Amalia cutted in and said.
"He is a technique user after all, surely he have been put his aging in check… Use your head properly, Frantz..."
"Aah, is that so.Amazing eh, Issan. How enviable!"
"In the first place, there"s no way he is as strong and calm as that if he is on the same age as me, right..."
"Hahaha"
Isagi didn’t able to comment anything and just raised a dry laugh.
‘Heh’. Isagi though, ‘So I looked that old, huh.’
Frantz clapped his hand.
"Then, probably it"s better to call you uncle Isa from now on, right?"
"Please, no!"
Reflexively Isagi raised his voice.
As they pa.s.sed their time like this, the carriage finally arrived to the next city.
From tomorrow, they would go directly toward the Great forest Mistral.
It"ll be three day straight journey.
Because this would become a long journey, that means they also need a proper preparation.
The city that was built in adjoined land between Great forest Mistral and Beriad dukedom city; Rearday.
It"s a beautiful water city that"s interpose two large river.
In this city which categorized as one of the largest city on the country in the west, Isagi and the sibling would prepare for their journey.
"Hmm ~ hmm ~ hmm ~"
Frantz humming beside Isagi.
Isagi though, ‘Why did he follow me?’
"I just want to visit adventurer guild, It"ll be nothing interesting, you know?"
"It"s okay, it"s okay.Sometime, I also wanted to have a conversation with other people than my sister!"
"Mmm, Hmm?"
Frantz was still a kid. He walked while cling closely to Isagi.
The sword that hang on his waist, was a broad sword that"s not really fit for someone his age.
"Big bro, what do you want to do at adventurer guild? Ah, are you perhaps plan to register as an adventurer? If that so, then how about join our party?"
"No, I just want to check my request on missing person"
"Aah, you"re the one who putting the request, huh. Eh, are you perhaps planning to do it on the entire guild in the continent?”
"Well, yeah. It will be quite expensive though"
"Hah, then the problem is the thing after this, right?"
A smirk floated on Frantz face.
Isagi, too, somehow know why he made such expression.
Finally they arrived to the guild, Isagi quickly went and talked to the receptionist girl on the counter.
"Umm, Issama… Let me confirm your request, is it ‘The investigation on, The great wizard, Plea’ Right?"
"Yeah"
"From the entire guild, there are 482 information arrived"
"Seriously..."
Unconsciously he groan so.
"By the way, about the credibility?"
"It"ll have to be done by the client himself"
"Thought so~"
Isagi was at his wit"s end knowing that.
It wouldn’t cost much to post a quest on investigation, but to read the information that arrived, the client will have to add another payment.
The client have to look it by themselves which one is the truth, which one is not, by breaking the information paper’s seal, that each paper will cost a certain fees.
It"s quite impossible for Isagi.
He looked at the list that was given to him.
The adventurer"s rank that give the information ranged from G to C, it"s really various.
Since it"s related to their credibility, the one who have higher rank tend to have the less chance to hit a bad information, but in exchange, the price will be higher.
For now, Isagi decided to choose three of the information that was given to him randomly.
He opened the paper that was given to him.
The first information, was from G ranked Adventurer.
The content was about the rumour that Plea, the wizard, was worshiped as a G.o.ddess in the Edela Holy county"s G.o.ddess Spire, even to this moment.
(she, a G.o.ddess...? No, it"s impossible)
Isagi slowly shakes his head.
He then opened the next letter.
The next information come from F-rank adventurer.
Today, Plea had died.
There was a rumour that someone saw her appearance inside the underground dungeon, "Ratatosk", in the Great forest Mistral.
( She"s not someone who will die even if killed, you know… Even a dungeon will be blown into smithen, if it was her)
Just like her nickname, The Wizard (The greatest magician), Plea could easily destroy anything with her magic.
There wasn’t any obstacle that could stood in her way.
For the last one, Isagi decided to splurge a little bit, and choose the information from C cla.s.s adventurer.
Since he had able to attain quite sum of money, he had quite high hope for this one, but...
‘Actually, the woman who called as the daughter of demon emperor, Dyutyu, is Plea who become despaired over human race. She felt that her brave, Isagi, were killed by Human Race and so she decided to revolt against them.‘
In that letter, written in poetic word full of pa.s.sion, long and long.
Isagi got greatly perplexed.
(If that was the truth, I"m really glad, seriously...... Dammit, this d.a.m.n person doing such useless job... )
While cursing some unknown person, Isagi crushed the paper.
If it"s like this, the result will stay the same no matter how many times he post the request.
Perhaps it"s better if he requested for more detailed information in the future.
He asked to the receptionist.
"Umm, Maam.For example, if I request for a sort of simple cla.s.sification before I open the letter, such as ‘Please describe the feature and the outward appearance’, is it alright?"
"Ah, yes. It’s perfectly fine"
"Is that so… Then, can I ask for that"- Isagi
"Alright, renewing the request information, right? There will be additional fees for that, is it alright with you?"
" It"s fine"
" Alright then"
The receptionist girl smiled.
Plea is a name that"s well known in the whole world. Isagi didn"t know how much this will be effective, though.
The money that he received from Dyutyu, decreases even more.
Though, he still had quite lot since he didn"t waste any his money on anything unimportant...
On the way back, Isagi took a glance at the bulletin board.
The quest that pasted on that board,as he thought, a lot of them were for low ranked adventurer.
There were only little high ranked quest, as the board mostly consist of the quest for Adventurer Ranked from G to F.
As for the subjugation quest for Rank A to S, at most there were only around ten quest...
Looked at those, Isagi surprised.
Not only Dyutyu and Shibernia, there"re were lot new name from the demon race army that pasted on the board.
> S-cla.s.s subjugation object.
> Renzou
> Due to his cruelty at Commercial city Relix, the town turned into ashes.
Not only Knight and adventurer, he even murderer a lot of normal civilians.
Using a magic sword that he stole from Adventurer, PleKyurzer.
Known for his unimpeachable swormanship and black magic, but the most fearsome was his stamina and cruelty.
And then another one.
> Cla.s.s subjugation object.
> Demon Lord Yoshin.o.bu.
> The new demon lord that come from demon capital, Brotherhouse.
His battle power still unknown.
But, you should never let your guard down.
---- (part 2)
Now, Isagi also want to know the movement of people in dark continent.
He bought one of the newspaper that published by Guild and open it.
The recapture of commercial city by the demon race.
Furthermore, it seems like they were about to attacking Minfest, too.
Then, the remaining city that human posses on the dark continent, were left into two.
Bellfest and the Port Blackround.
It said that both Dyutyu and Renzou will unite their army and attack Bellfest this time.
Due to that, it seems that a lot of adventurers started to take a ship toward the dark continent.
Certainly, there were a lot of bounty hunter that aim to hunt a big opponent and strike a jackpot.
It"ll be an total war between adventurer and Demon race.
(... Don"t lose, everyone)
Isagi pray for the safety of his friend, as he left the guild.
Franz already waited him outside when Isagi came out from the guild. Waiting just like a loyal dog.
"Then, Big bro, where will we go next?"
"... I wonder.It"s been quite a while, maybe I should buy new sword"
"Ooh, that seems nice. I want to buy one, too"
"The best one is the one that you already familiar with, you know"
Though Isagi already used it carefully, the blade that he used right now was already chipped.
No matter how gentle he use it, the sword wouldn"t last that long.
Among the weapon shop that was opened on the street, they choose to enter the nearest one.
Looking at the sword and spear that"s lined up crampedly on the interior of the store, Isagi stroked his chin.
"Something that"s used by soldier, if possible, the cheapest one"
Frantz eye looked at the sorting of the sword with gleaming eyes.
But for Isagi who thought sword only as consumable goods, he only looked with cold eyes.
( No matter how good the sword is, they will be no match for Claiomh Solais after all... )
Parabeiu Kingdom Holy item, Claiomh Solais.
One of human Race"s ultimate weapon, that has been handed for generations since the silver age.
It"s said that it was the sword that kill the G.o.d race.
It"s one of the magic sword, but among magic sword, there is only one of it.
--- The ability to cut anything.
That was the ability that Holy Sword Claiomh Solais poses.
When compared to that sword, any famous sword will be the same as wooden sword.
Though it was some extreme thought, but it can"t be helped.
Isagi also bought one small sword, a short sword, before he left the shop.
Frantz puffed his cheeks in disa.s.stification when their shopping finished so quickly.
"Come on~, big bro, you"re really similar to big sis. The way you want to finish everything quickly is just like her"
"Time is precious, after all. I am in the same mind as Amalie on that point"
" d.a.m.n it, why... "
As they walked toward the inn, Isagi laughed.
Looking at Frantz wildness, somehow made it felt like he was talking with Rimino.
Now that he thought about it, Amalie and Frantz looked really different from each other.
Perhaps, they were not really sibling, Isagi thought so.
"Ah, possibly, just now, Big bro, you thought that I and Nee-san is too different, right?"
Isagi startled.
He wondered if his face is really that easy to read.
"Well, can"t be helped though. After all, we only share the same father"
"Oh, is that so"
"Big sis is from the second mother and I am from the third mother. By the way, we have a big brother, but he is from the first mother"
"Amazing, huh"
(So he choosing harem route, heh, that Bardz.)
Isagi never thought that Bardz was such skillful person.
"It"s been long time since the last time I met him though, my father. I hope he is still healthy"
"... "
Now that he said it, Amalie also said the same thing. In Dynacity, Bardz was on his dead bed. Probably he was retired to bed because of some sickness. His age should’d reached 48 years old around this time.For a human that"s not a technique user, it should be the age nearing the age of retirement. That"s why, the two from , decided to come back home from the end of the continent.
Isagi asked while looked at the sky.
"Your father, what kind of person he is?"
"Eh?"
"He was a great person,right? A man who was called as the master warrior; the person who built the guild adventurer from zero.Please tell me, too. What kind of person he is, come on”
" Ah, yeah... "
Frantz grinned.
"O, Okay! When we arrive at the inn, I, together with big sis will tell big bro about it! Our father is really great person, you know!"
" Yeah, I"ll looking forward to it"
Looking at Franz spread his hand with big smile on his face, Isagi smiled as well.
Bardz, the one who once called as master warrior; the one who goes on journey with The brave Isagi. He returned to his country; created the system called adventurer guild. For human race, his deed was something worth great praise.
Even so.
Even if he was this amazing.
(Why? did you wish for this kind of future?Bardz)
While Isagi remembered his gallant smile, He only able to asked the sky.
The express carriage went right through Great forest Mistral.
After that, they will enter the holy city Parabeiu.
Dynacity, just in front of their eyes.
=========================================
Isagi: On his journey to search for Plea"s location, he failed on using the adventurer guild to reach his goal. The future is still long. Have a habit to thought that perhaps Plea was some kind of monster or something like that. Also, his chuunibyou finally totally recovered.
Frantz: Continuously followed Isagi"s back. Really love his big sister and father.
Amalie: Feeling sick.
