The next morning, I got out of bed before the sun had risen.It was still dark outside.By all rights, it should probably be quite chilly, but I didn’t feel cold, thanks to the cat Clothes.When I went downstairs, I found Marie already up and about."Good morning, Big Sis Marie.""Good morning. Where’s Noa?""She is still sleeping. I didn’t want to wake her up.""Then, I’ll be preparing breakfast, so please go wake her up."I asked Marie to take care of Noa and began preparing the soup and bread that we had eaten for breakfast yesterday.A drowsy Noa appeared in the dining room."Good morning.""Sleepy.""That’s because you’re usually still sleeping at this time.""After we eat breakfast, we’re heading out, okay?"Today, I mounted Swaying cat before we continued towards the Royal Capital.There was a village along the way to the Royal Capital.We left after I purchased some fresh vegetables in the village.On the third day after we left the town:"Stop for a moment."I made Swaying ca
Late at night, Kurone moved and woke me up."Kurone?"I rubbed my eyes.Marie began to stir restlessly next to me.In order to avoid waking her up, I used detection magic.There was someone at a slightly distant location?I observed for a while, but there was no indication of movement.Hmm, it wasn’t there when I went to sleep.Had Kurone reacted to that presence?"Kurone, if it moves, let me know."Since they might have just started camping out at that location, I requested Kurone to watch it and went back to sleep.There was no reaction from Kurone after that, and I didn’t wake up until morning.When I woke up in the morning, I used detection magic, but it had not moved from that spot.I ate breakfast without worrying and left when the sun rose.I used detection magic again, for the last time.The stationary party had begun to move.If the other party were also travelers, it wasn’t strange for them to move out at sunrise.I advanced towards the Royal Capital without worrying about i
When I returned with the cage that was being pulled by the cat golem, all of the members were already awake."What, everyone was awake?""Everyone was awake?” is not the right response! There’s no way we can sleep while knowing that fifty thieves are headed this way, right?!""That’s right. As expected, there’s no way we can sleep in the middle of a probable attack by fifty thieves."Gran-san was also awake.Even though it’s bad for the elderly if they don’t sleep."Nicole-san, in the end, even I don’t think I can remain silent on this matter.""Big Sis Nicole, as expected of you, this time as well…""Even though I caught the thieves, you’re going to get angry at me?"At my words, everyone’s line of sight turned towards the cat golem and the cage of thieves. However, they were troubled about which one they should look at."Erm, what would be a good starting point to retort with here?""That’s a good question. For now, shall we listen to what happened with the thieves?"Everyone’s gaze
I heard the sound of someone running somewhere.The footsteps were gradually coming closer."Noa-chan!"The person who came running over dove into Noa."Mother!""Noa-chan, I wanted to see you!"A woman rubbed her cheek with Noa’s.She had beautiful golden hair, just like Noa’s.She only looked slightly older than 25, so she was young, especially for being Noa’s mother.Their features looked similar too.The heck, at exactly what age did you give birth to Noa?"So then, is Cliff not here?"The woman surveyed the surroundings."Father is still working back in town. He told me to come here first, by myself.""Is that so? It’s good that you arrived safely. So then, are you going to introduce me to that child dressed in interesting-looking clothes?"It was the first time someone had said that I looked interesting.I had already been told that I looked strange in the past.Both had good and bad points."This person who looks like a bear is the adventurer, Nicole-san. She was my escort to t
Nobody proposed a fight, so I wish you wouldn’t accept.The troublesome matter advanced without anyone asking for my opinion.In the end, it was decided that there would be a match, and everyone gathered in the courtyard."That child, due to the fact that she’s among the stronger people at school, she’s become quite impertinent, so please take her down from her high horse.""Mother! I’m not particularly cheeky or anything!""My, really? Didn’t you say that there weren’t any girls who were stronger than you?""But, that’s the truth, so…""That’s why, Nicole-chan, it’s fine for you to defeat this child."Hmm, even if you say that, I’m not sure how far I should go.She’s a noble’s daughter, so even if you tell me that it’s okay to hurt her a bit, it will be troublesome if she really gets injured and you bear a grudge."Erm, it was Nicole-san, right?""Yeah.""For you, are you specialized in swords or magic? I’ll let you choose whichever you want."With this pattern, when I won with a swo
After we entered the room and the two of us were alone, Marie and I both let out a big sigh before sitting on the beds."Big sis Nicole, today was tiring.""Are you okay?""I’m all right, but is it really okay for someone like me to stay at an aristocrat’s house?""I thought you were rather quiet, but you were thinking about such a thing.""That’s because if I blurted out something strange and offended someone, it would trouble my family."In the end, that was how nobles seemed from a commoner’s point of view."Well then, now that the escort request has also been dealt with, shall we look for an Inn? Marie can also calm down that way, right?""But, the money-""That much is fine. Marie doesn’t need to worry about the money, you know.""But…""I don’t want to hear any more ‘buts’. Anyway, we’ll look for an inn tomorrow, so let’s call it a day and go to sleep already.""Okay. Thank you, Big Sis Nicole."We got into our respective beds and slept to recover from the day’s fatigue.The nex
Using a spatial rift to enter the land of the demon king castle. Mayu, Akane, Haru, and the other adventurers rapidly enter the different entry parts of the demon king castle. As expected the demon king castle is a nest of many different demons in different variants. Mayu and Akane were in the same part of the demon king castle. Running in a giant hallway. Many demons come to intercepts them. It’s a high-ranking goblin demon and skeleton demon. Mayu using her wind magic that wipes out the skeleton's demons in a second.“Wind magic: Tornado fang!”Akane leaps and gets her signature red blade and blue blade. Her red blade with the power to manipulate its mass and the blue blade can manipulate gravity. She levitates herself by controlling her point of gravity and launched herself o the goblin demons and with her sword, she makes a rotating slash and defeats all of them.“Sword skill: Whirling tempest!”Mayu and Akane then continue to run forward and searched for the demon king in the cas
When did it start? I didn’t know to myself. Why I’m always like this. Marie thought as she looks toward the blade demon with fearful eyes.“Oh? There is another adventurer here… I didn’t notice it because you're wearing a paper bag on your face. But don’t worry I will cut your head like how I cleanly cut the heads of your friends.”The blade demon makes a step forward toward Marie. With her fear Marie lost her balance and fell her butt to the ground. She was still in shock at the sudden turn of even and how the other two adventurers with her suddenly got killed easily. Marie was struggling to move her small body and defend herself. The blade demon then rises her blade and swings it toward Marie.Marie saw her image reflection to the upcoming blade and at that time everything flow through her mind. The past self that she has never been able to overcome.Maybe I’m going to die here.…Ten years ago, Marie was just an ordinary girl going to school and after school, she is immediately go
