To the Dwarf Kingdom
Rigurdo announced at the street, to prepare until midday.
His own son Rigur was first on the five sets. Next is me and Ranga.
Rigurdo also feels rejuvenated too so, maybe it’s just me worrying too much.
Now then, after receiving the package, I get on the back of Ranga.
The surrounding fur made my body fixed in place. It’s time for the 『Sticky Web』.
I secretly practiced controlling using web you see.
I don’t know whether I can learn it but the prior is much longer. I steadily go through practice.
Inside the package was some money, and food.
Further than that then we plan to be self sufficient.
Even though I can predate more than though….
It’s because I don’t need food that I’ve made that decision though.
Our funds are 7 silver coin and 24 copper coin.
So I stopped hoping.
Now then, it’s time to go!
The Dwarf kingdom’s walking distance will take 2 days it seems.
After reaching this will be the mountain ranges.
On those mountain ranges is our goal, the Dwarf Kingdom.
On the east is the Empire, and the circumference of the Jura Forest are multiple country.
Therefore, the trade route splits to 3 ways.
The second is the route that goes through the stern mountain path.
Originally, the route that passes through the large forest of Jura is the shortest and safest however it was rarely used.
As for the sea route, more than costly, there is the threat of the sea monsters. There fore, it was the least used route, it seems.
If we head to the east of the forest it’ll be the empire but, we’re heading north, towards the large qanat of the mountains.(TL: Is the use of “qanat” correct?)
There was no need to climb ’til the summit too.
The Dwarf Kingdom is upstream the large river of Amerudo at the food of the Qanat of the mountain ranges, that dominion is what we’re preparing for.
That is the Dwarf Kingdom.
We’re going north parallel to the large river of Amerudo as planned.
The one leading was a messenger that had once gone to the Dwarf Kingdom so, I’ll leave it to him.
However, the Black wolf (= Tempest Fanged Wolf Clan) the evolved version of the Fanged Wolves are fast!
We’ve started traveling for about 3 hour, and we haven’t had a break for once. In spite of nearly running the speed of 80km non-stop!
With this pace even a day wouldn’t be needed it seems.
Well, we can also go without excessively. It’s to hasten the preparation for clothes and houses but, rushing things won’t do good.
「O~i! You don’t need to push yourselves!」(Rimel)
I said.
Within the 3 hours, we attain a speed faster than a bike and, I enjoyed the flowing scenery but, I got bored momentarily.
As I engage in a fun talk with everyone, I slowly understand the fun of this journey.
Now then, what will I hear… .
「Rigur-kun. Come to think of it, who did your nii-san got his name?」
「Ha! Please don’t mind the formalities with me! So, it’s about who my brother got his name, it seems he got name from a passing magic being.」
「Hou. A magical being passed by the Goblin village?」
「Yes, it was 10 years ago. It was when I was still a child… it stayed in the village for a while and had taken a highlight to my brother, said.」
「Hee. He was a good brother right.」
「Yes! He was a proud big brother. Eventually he wants to become a subordinate of that magical being Germyuddo-sama! he kindly says.」
「I see, I see. the next time he comes, the changes will definitely surprise him right!」
「Isn’t it! However, my body servers for Rimel-sama. Rather than the splendid Maou’s army, I can’t follow Germyuddo-sama!」
「Maou’s army… . You’ve met them, right. Wait, you don’t even know if they’ll invite you, are you confident???」
「Yes, rather than confidence it’s conviction. Even my brother as named has evolved but, he hasn’t changed this much.
Obviously the status of our evolution is different. I think he hasn’t heard the “Sekai no kotoba” in his whole life!」
Even the surrounding Hob Gobs agrees! And constantly nods.
If they get a name they’ll evolve. However, they also change at a certain limit on their godparent huh….
However, the Maou’s army.
Will the demon lord attack? Or rather, whose ally should I be???
Luckily, there is an existence called the “yuusha”, and it’s common sense that the “yuusha” will fight the “maou”.
More or less, taking memo at the corner of her memory.
Now then, the next subject is…
「Ranga, I was your late father’s enemy right? Should I worry of such things?」
I asked to the Black Wolf.
「Honestly, I think about it sometimes.
Even if, which ever we are fighting, we understand that it’s justice to whoever wins.
Be that as it may…, my lord, you forgave us and also gave us a title!
Other than gratitude, I don’t bear any malice!」
「Fumu… . If ever that you’ll get revenge, I’ll be prepared any time.」
「Fufufu. Now that I’ve evolved, I fully understand it.
If that happened, the wish of our race which is to evolve will certainly fall.
Our loyalty, my lord, is only for one person!!!」
What the heck is he saying… .
He’s overestimating.
Well, I don’t problem the misunderstood part… .
「Do you understand… . You’ve also grown!」
「Haha! I’m greatly thankful!」
I matched with his talk and care freely agreed.
If Ranga someday have revenge upon me, I’ll pleasantly receive it.
At any rate, however you see it, until now a common black snake feels like a it’ll get strong….
We talked in that fashion while travelling.
After 3 hours, we took a break, after 14 hours of travelling we slept and took a break for about 7 hours.
Aren’t we rushing things a little? is what I said but,
「It’s fine! It’s because of our evolution that this much fatigue was nothing!」(TL: I wanna evolve tooooo!)
answered Rigur,(TL again: you aren’t the one running, right?)
「Do not worry about us! We want to be like our lord who doesn’t need sleep, we don’t need a long time for that!
Even food, it’s not that we need frequent eating, even without it is not an obstacle!」
followed by Ranga.
With this, the number one not doing anything me, I might be seen as the one who lacks determination.
We ran for about 12 hours everyday but…, these guys really got tough.
At the end of the second day, before resting and eating,
「By the way, Gobta. Do you know how far more?」
I asked the guide Hob Goblin= Gobta.
「Y- yesss!!! Probably, we will arrive tomorrow I think!
Because we greatly see the mountain!」
He immediately answered to me, hafly nervous and happy right.
I see, now that he said it, the mountain seems to be larger.
Come to think of it…,
「By the way, I suddenly cared so, how long did it take to reach the Dwarf kingdom?
Once in a while a peddler comes right?」
I asked.
Specially, it was weird that it takes 2 months heading to the Dwarf kingdom.
「Yes! They sell their magic weapon and armor for a high price!
Furthermore, the monster surrounding the village doesn’t use armor…」
I see.
No wonder there’s no decent armor left, I thought. (TL: Anyone who understood the previous lines or is good in sales comment and enlighten me or us.)
Mostly, a person easily defeated by a goblin, it’s like sending a beginner in a forest and getting lost looks like a young chick right.
Even so, lending armor is…, maybe the Dwarf clan is surprisingly king.
Or rather, I’d like it to go well, please become a favorable relationship!
Then.
The qanat of the mountain ranges foot enlarges, a meadow.
Mother nature’s creation, a natural stronghold.
Dowuragon, an arms state.
I’ve arrived at the Dwarf Kingdom!
