76 – Departure

-.. Where else are you going?

Right after it was decided to go on a trip again,

Lying on the bed in the dorm without Neneto, I talked to Adela on the phone.

At the time she was in the elven forest, she was busy and couldn’t call her even once a week.

“Yes. Is your training going well with Jinha?”

-It’s going well to some extent… But where are you going this time?

“Um… You know Selina? She made room for me, but…”

– Did you?

In fact, until today, the day before departure, they didn’t tell us exactly what they were going to do.

She told me where to come, but she only told me,

‘… What are you trying to do?’

“… That. I heard it’s like a villa?”

-A vacation home is a vacation home. What is a vacation home?

“What. Can you take me to a strange place? I’m going with all the kids.”

-I thought I was coming to the royal family this time, so I asked the queen for a room…

“Sorry. This is how things turned out.”

-I can’t help it. Human relationships are also important…

For something like that, his tone is strangely cold.

After this trip is over, I’ll have to give Adela a glimpse of her face.

Just finished the phone call.

Huh!!!

“I should go to bed early.”

Because I have to take the train again early tomorrow morning.

A train again…

‘…I’m taking a break right now, right?’

How come you seem busier than when you were in school?

Let’s lie down in bed and wait for sleep to come.

-Can’t sleep?

I heard Leah’s voice.

It’s a big deal.

Lea speaks first.

“… Why? Do you have any questions?”

-No, that’s…

The figure of Leah, unable to lift her face, with her body buried in her pillow somewhere on her knees.

‘… I guess there’s something there.’

Since I couldn’t sleep anyway, I got her up and met her eyes with Leah.

Leah comes with her mouth open with a somber expression.

-… Are you really sick because of me?

“Huh? … What are you talking about?”

-What Veronica or Elena said on the train. Maybe that’s right

“…”

Why is he like this again?

-Actually, the mana of light was flowing inside Rai-sama’s body… So.

“… What do you want to say?”

-That… I wanted to say I’m sorry.

Fishik.

She tickled Leah’s head with her index finger.

– That .. Why is her hair all of a sudden.

“Leah didn’t do anything wrong.”

If it’s because you were really chosen as a hero in the first place,

If you follow Veronica’s words, the hero is what the world chooses.

And even if there were options.

“…Because it’s the path I chose.”

It is precisely the path Lai chose.

– Mr. Rai…

“Don’t worry unnecessarily, go in and rest. You haven’t recovered all your strength yet, have you?”

-…Yes. Good night…!

Leah enters the pattern on her wrist with a slightly brighter expression than before.

‘… Let’s not worry too much about this problem in the future.’

I overreacted for no reason, but didn’t the atmosphere just get worse?

“… Whew.”

Perhaps it was because of Leia’s pure appearance,

I feel more at ease than before.

**

-Chiyiik!!

“…Arrived…”

Take the first train in the morning and drive for about two hours,

Everyone moved to the location Selina instructed.

Let’s leave the station lightly.

-Here!!

The figure of Selina calling the party from a little distance away.

“Selina!!”

“… Long time no see, Elena.”

Selina, whom I haven’t seen in a while, welcomed us with a meaningful eye smile as always.

“You too.”

“Uh. How are you?”

“…Is that all?”

Eh?

From noble mtl dot com

Is that all?

It’s been a long time since I met you, so why are you…

‘What?’

Elena was patting hard on Selina’s back, expressing something about her.

‘…Clothes?’

It’s like trying to express something about her by stretching her own t-shirt…

“Oh.”

Okay.

Selina was wearing a cloud-like white brim hat and a white dress.

“Clothes. It suits you well. You don’t normally wear dresses, do you?”

“…hehehehe”

Selina’s eyes quietly stare at her from head to toe.

“Well. I noticed it quickly for you. That’s right. I made it feel like summer.”

Be afraid.

After that, I had to say goodbye to Morhan and Bell.

“… So. Where are you going?”

“There is a summer cottage built for the summer on one of my family’s estates. Are we the only ones around?”

“What is it? Then you should just say yes. Why did you spend so much time on it?”

“Then a gate appeared on the estate.”

“…What?”

“The gate appeared. Just three days ago.”

Three days ago…

It was just one day before the phone call with Selina.

“No. You can’t play when the gate comes out? Why did we call…”

“No.”

Smile.

“It’s just a matter of clearing the gate, and we can deal with monsters coming out of the gate, right?”

“That’s true, but…”

“And that’s not all.”

“… Not only that, but what.”

heheheung-

Selina opened her mouth proudly as she struck a proud pose.

“Helena. Have you ever entered a gate that hasn’t even been cleared for the first time?”

“Huh? Huh… Isn’t it?”

‘… I have a lot of them.’

I think I’ve been contacted several times by Mr. Cluane…

“Special this time! An acquaintance of mine accepted a subjugation from the guild where I work as a sub-master. I asked for a tour of the gate.”

“Gate tourism?”

“Yes. The level of the gate is not that high. I just enter the gate with the feeling of going out to play.”

“… Such nonsense is possible?”

No matter how low the rating is, it’s still a place where lives come and go…

“Of course, it would be impossible if it was originally, but…”

Selina’s forehead narrows slightly.

“… This time, the head of the family directly requested an interview with the sub-master of the guild, so I decided to conduct this subjugation alone.”

“Really?”

A sub-master of a guild is an incredibly high position.

With that much, of course, I could easily close a B-level or lower gate by myself, but…

‘Interview?’

As you know from the last Elven Forest incident,

A guild is a group that must maintain strict ‘neutral’.

If you carelessly called the guild’s high-ranking officials, you might end up in gossip…

I wonder if you saw through my thoughts like this,

Selina opened her mouth in a slightly subdued voice.

“Don’t worry too much. I don’t know what that person is trying to do, but the sub guild master isn’t like that.

Well, the image of the family is already the worst…”

“…Still, it’s your family, so it’s kind of hard to say that.”

“Don’t say anything terrible. I still can’t believe I was born into such people.”

I will definitely ask for paternity later.

The figure of Selina who continued to complain while holding her between her eyebrows.

It wasn’t uncommon for Selina to show her emotions this intensely.

‘… You must hate it quite a bit.’

“Anyway.”

Pair!

“Is this all your luggage?”

Selina glances around at her group.

Except Elena brought a suitcase full of her new clothes from her town.

Neither Morhan nor I had brought nearly any luggage.

Bell…

“… Butterflies…”

I wonder if he even has luggage.

“You said you didn’t bring anything.”

“Good job. What did Elena bring so much?”

“Uh…Huh? Just clothes and…”

“I’ll rent most things from the villa anyway. Let’s move quickly.”

Let’s follow Selina to the outside of the train station…

“…? A wagon?”

“Matchara?”

Isn’t this girl?

“Then what are you going to…?”

“Yeah…”

-Beep.

Selina pulls out a small remote from her arms and presses her button.

– Ugh!!!

Somewhere,

A strong exhaust sound was heard.

If you turn your head, there

A magical engineering vehicle in the form of a red SUV was showing off its presence.

“… Come on.”

I heard that calling that is worth it…

Well,

In terms of price, it’s worth buying for me and Elena with the previous compensation money.

Elena began to look at Selina with a slightly uneasy look.

“…That. Are you riding that?”

“Yes. We’re going to play by ourselves anyway, so we don’t need a carriage-like transportation for nobles, right?”

“I heard that engineering vehicles have frequent accidents…”

“Anyway, the road to the wagon and the road itself are different, so there’s no need to worry about bumping into them. What’s so…”

Magic vehicles supply energy only with mana to prevent environmental pollution.

Therefore, there is a feature that the cost of maintaining is higher than that of purchasing,

The bigger feature is…

“…Do you have a license?”

“?”

Because it hasn’t really been that long since it came out,

It is said that there are few people who know how to use it properly, and accidents that drive it into trees or stones often occur one after another without controlling the speed.

“A license?”

“I’ll just walk away.”

“You’re not a kid, what are you so afraid of? If you don’t care, you can strengthen your body with mana.”

“No. It’s scary that something to strengthen the body happens even though it’s just moving.”

“… Just ride.”

Before Selina’s eye smile deepened here,

She boarded the rattling and vibrating demonic engineering vehicle’s trunk, loaded with luggage.

-Clap!

‘… I feel uneasy.’

The familiar riding comfort of leather seats and the tightening of seat belts.

Sitting in the passenger seat and looking at the instrument panel,

It was really just like a car.

“…It’s amazing.”

“Is this your first time riding?”

It’s not the first time, but…

“Sure. Let’s go?”

Come back!

At the same time as Elena trembled in her back seat and began gripping Morhan’s arm tightly,

With a cool exhaust sound, the vehicle moves forward…

Wow!!!

Forward…

Wheeeing!!!

I didn’t go.

“… What?”

“It’s strange. Why don’t you go forward?”

The appearance of Selina stepping on the accelerator, continuously saying that it is strange.

… By the way.

“Hey.”

“…Should I make a phone call? Yes?”

“Do you know what this stuff is for?”

A rod with a button located next to the gear rod was raised.

“Oh.”

“Oh, what. How does the car go forward when the side brake isn’t even off?”

“…A mistake. A minor one.”

-Kirik.

Put down the side brake and let’s start,

Contrary to my worries, I started running on the road with a decent ride.

“…”

This trip.

You’re really okay, right?

I was already starting to get anxious.
