Where's Kagura?

Where's Kagura?

　Once again, Tory explains Kagura to the newcomers, Sister Elinora and Rumba.

　It's hard for Tory to explain about Kagura three times today alone. He's getting better at explaining about Kagura, and he's got it down to the point.

'Oh!　That's where the rice is!

　Rumba, who likes to cook a bowl of food, seems to be more interested in the food culture of Kagura.

　He seems to be asking in detail what kind of food was available in Tolly.

'Sashimi?　You eat fish raw?

Yes, it is!　I was surprised when I was served red fish meat raw!

　I'm kind of curious too. I'm curious.

'I get the general idea of what the country is like, but why are you going there, Al?　Out of the country?　It's farther than King's Landing, you know?

　As my attention turned to Tory and Rumba, sister Elinora asked me with a raised eyebrow.

'So it's because I'm interested in this country called Kagura. She wants to go see it and buy it in person.

''Well it's unusual that Al, who's always holed up, wants to go away.

It's true.

　Mother Erna says as she agrees with Sister Elinora's words.

　I don't think I'm really that reclusive.

　I go out in the garden of the mansion, play in the village with Thor and Asmo, and even go to the Celia Restaurant.

　I've never been to the village next door.........

Isn't it just because you want to skip practice?

　Oh, I didn't even have that advantage when I went to Kagura. I mean, stop it, sister Elinora.

　Because Dad Nord, who was just a little bit positive, has a slightly miffed look on his face.

'No, I'm not. If I'm going to ditch it, I'll ditch it with aplomb. I'm not going to skip a long trip to get there.

　And once you skip one, you can't bypass the next one because it's too hard to get away with it. You just have to find out exactly what extent of tardiness you'll be allowed at best and resist.

''Well, that's just as well. ........I'm not going to let you skip because I'm here, though.

　Elinora sister nodded as if she was convinced.

　If I really wanted to skip it, I'd have to flee to the royal capital in transition.

　I mean, I'm not talking about training right now.

　I need to get permission to go to Kagura from Nord Dad and Erna Mom. I have no time to be bothered by Elinora's sister.

"Hey, are you sure you don't mind?　There are B-ranked adventurers, so that's fine. I can use magic too, so it's okay!

'I've seen Al slaying goblins with magic on the road to King's Landing, but sea travel is even more dangerous than that, and hey.

　I appeal to him to take care of the safety issues, but Dad Nord doesn't respond well.

　It seems that a goblin is not enough. It would be nice if we could give them one more push.

　While I was groaning in my mind, Lumumba, as if he had finished talking about food, spoke up.

'Hm?　Isn't danger something you have to have an escort for?

'Of course I'm there. A B-rank party of adventurers who specialize in guarding. It's a silver wind. You can trust them, so I'm going to ask you to be my escort often.

Is that a party for Malt and his friends?

Yes, but. Do you know him?

'Oh!　Those are the guys I used to love, man!　They're funny, aren't they?

　Roomba laughs with a gahaha.

　It seems that 'Silver Wind' is an adventurer who is Lumumba's junior.

　That makes me feel even more comfortable.

　But no word of permission comes out of Nord-Dad's mouth.

I'm not sure what's wrong with you, Nord.　They're going to be fine, okay?　You're very capable.

　I wondered about the word "competence", but I didn't want to go into it because it would be detrimental.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about it. There are big storms, and many demons are more troublesome than on land.

You don't have to worry about that. You don't know what's going to happen, even if you're on earth. With Al's magical prowess in the first place, you won't die so easily, will you?

　Honestly, even if your life is in danger, there's no danger because you can come back in transition.

　With the use of shields and ice magic, I can even walk on the surface of the sea, and even if it comes to a battle with demons on the ship, I'm rather confident in my magic, so I think I'll be a good fighting force.

''If you're so worried about it, I'll go along with Al and do it for you.

The Roomba?

　Father Nord looks up at Lumumba's words.

　Rumba-san, is it true!　I wouldn't be afraid of a Roomba if it were there.

　I can't imagine Roomba getting hit by a demon or anything at all. No matter how much trouble he gets into, he's going to laugh and get over it with a gahahaha.

'Oh!'

'Yes!　You'll be safe with Roomba!

'I'm thanking you for letting me live in my home and feeding me good food. I'll protect you if anything happens to you!

　Roomba gives a thumbs up.

　Oh dear. I wonder if Roomba was such a nice and reliable lord.

　I'm glad to have Roomba living in my home.

I think it's a good idea to have Roomba around, don't you?　It's rare for Al to act positively.

"...hmmm...if Roomba's there, will it be okay?

　Yes!　With Rumba accompanying him, their opinions were positive.

　They have a lot of trust in Roomba. He even said that he even formed a party when he was an adventurer.

　I mean, Erna mom. Then it sounds like I don't always have a positive attitude.

　Is it usually out of lust, or is it because I want to be comfortable?

　I thought that all humans are like that, but this time I think I have a strong desire to see the country of Kagura without that.

　I wonder if Mother Erna saw through that....

　Then Father Nord and Mother Erna exchanged a few words, thought about it and then said a few words.



Yay!

　With Dad Nord's permission, I get up from the couch and raise my arms.

'Thanks for the rumba!'

Heh heh, I'll take care of it.

　Then I was so impressed that I ran up to Roomba and he picked me up and started to shoulder me.

　Oh, I didn't know that the gaze of someone nearly two meters away could be so high.

In that case, I'm coming with you!

　While I was happy to be shouldered by the Roomba, Sister Elinora, who had been standing still, let out a frustrated voice and stood up.

　It would have been even safer if Sister Elinora had come, but it was called overstrength.

　In order to make the most of your sightseeing in Kagura, please refrain from accompanying me if possible. We want to spend a good time over there.

'No, you can't. Elinora is going to the royal capital to train with the knights, you know. I've already sent a reply of approval, and it would be rude to Lila for inviting me, wouldn't it?

　Father Nord remonstrates with Elinora's sister who is complaining. ''Elinora,'' he said, ''she already has plans.

　Elinora is scheduled to become a knight of King's Landing, but she won't be joining until next year.

　The fact that she invited me to practice in spite of that means that someone in the knight's department has their eye on the excellent Elinora sister.

　I've seen a knight-like person come to the mansion every once in a while and practice with Elinora sister. Is it like a green field purchase?

''Ugh!　Yes, but....

　Elinora sister, who has been hit in a sore spot, is dreading it.

　The practice that was invited by that Laila-san is scheduled first, and it will have to take priority. It's also a matter of concern for the future.

If I thought I was in a strangely good mood lately, I didn't know you had such plans.

　Anyway, this means I can go sightseeing in Kagura in peace with Roomba.

I immediately packed my bags to go to Kagura.
