After leaving Phonia, the journey to the Empire was quite long.
In the game, it took 3 months to reach a distance that would take 10 minutes by riding, so I said everything.
I really want this part to be like the game. well, anyway.
“Hey!! Thanks to the customer, I was able to come safely! This is exactly double the reward I promised at the beginning!!”
“No, like this… Kheheheheum! Thank you.”
I don’t mind giving money. I cleared my throat once and immediately took the bag.
It wasn’t that busy on the way, and it was just a matter of dealing with the occasional monster that attacked.
In addition to me, Ray Sol, who boasted the might of a tier 1.5 NPC, possessed tremendous strength with a combined stat of 80, and sometimes displayed a level of combat that made me think he was stronger than me.
no. Is it true that there are times when I am weaker than him even though our levels are 10 times different? Luck minus it’s a real dog troll.
“Let’s meet again someday! Good luck on your journey!!”
“Yes. Please be careful too, Tom, thank you.”
After packing the fat pockets that I received more than the promised compensation, I went to the place where my companions were, and the status window. Now the golem named Gor is holding Ira.
Is it because the weather has started to get warmer recently? I have developed a tendency to like Gor’s arms more than my own.
People say that rocks are good because they are cold, so I am leaving it to them for now.
But if you miss your embrace, come anytime, welcome!!
“Oppa, where are you going now?”
He ate well, slept well, and as time went by, my younger brother, who is one year older, adjusted his short tongue and pronunciation, and is now able to speak quite well.
But my brother feels a bit disappointed about that too.
“The destination is Aygram. We’re going down south now. It’s going to get hotter in the future. Should we keep asking for water when it’s hot?”
“huh!”
“Whoops. It’s my first time in the trading city Aigram, so I’m really looking forward to it!!”
After giving the status window a name.
I had doubts about the fact that the status window began to display not only Ira but also Ray’s stats.
So I briefly asked while everyone was asleep.
[Designated as a party. Can you turn it off if you don’t need it?]
When I asked who the hell made it into the party, she said that she was only showing interest in me and Ira, so she decided that she was a person who would be helpful and designated it herself.
Now I hate calling him to the status window.
What country’s status window organizes a party on its own without listening to the owner?
The party leader was disappointed with the status window.
What can be said fortunately is that the trouble maker is in a state where it does not cause trouble.
Because [I can’t stand injustice] is being activated by me, who is the same NPC, other troubles are not being triggered.
Well, it looks good when I say it like this, but if I put it another way, it just means that I’m the trouble itself by that woman’s standard. Besides, it’s not a good thing by her standards.
She would have to continuously clear quests to raise her level, but it means that her only passive skill was completely blocked because of me. Of course, that will end once we reach Aigram.
At that time, I really plan to give the escort a bit more money. Of course, now.
“Now. Ray, 800 cans.”
“Hasn’t the day gone yet?”
“You’ve arrived in a new village. You should take care of your belongings and buy something to buy.”
[What you can buy with 800 cans is one skewer and a bucket of water.]
It’s dark. Where am I paying my former salary to a self-proclaimed slave? Still, I have a conscience, so I get paid for three days instead of a week, right?
About a week later, after discussing each other’s age, we deliberately left without a word, but there was no reaction, just a smile.
At first, I deliberately set the fee to be salty to get rid of it by making it boring, but it is still nice to accept it and smile.
Honestly, you don’t have much money here either? You should be grateful enough for letting me share the inn.
If you twist it, it will just fall off. Did I catch you? that he follows
In the first place, I said I didn’t like slave play. Pure love, pure peace, there are good words like this, so why do I have to go that way? Oh no, no
I headed straight to the inn with everyone, only taking one room.
“Ray, Gor. Let’s go out with Ira and buy something to eat.”
“Huh? What about Jack?”
“I’m going to get some information nearby and come to the inn. I have to stay well with Gor, right? Gor, you know?”
[Content that is emotionally unhealthy is blocked.]
“Yes! Be careful too, brother!”
Although he is not very close to Ray, he still treats him more friendly than others. In my view, the ranking in Ira’s heart is me, pick>= Ray=others. That’s about it.
Since we’re the same woman, I thought we might be able to become quite close if we make a mistake, but I don’t think I’ll have a hard time regretting it when we break up later.
I send the two people and one animal(?) away first and then move on immediately.
Information I heard before coming here. There will definitely be information about Ponia.
Although it was still before sunset, I visited an open bar and asked if I wanted to get information nearby, and was recommended a guild.
After hearing the geography, I immediately handed over 100 cans to the boss, then ran towards the guild, showed my adventurer ID card, and bought information.
where where let’s see.
[[-News from Phonia-] The monster parade that started in the Poria estate is currently engulfing the 3 surrounding territories and growing. The kingdom of Ponia is currently suppressing the parade by organizing knights and territories, but the damage is only gradually increasing. The Kingdom of Ponia considers a way to request support from adventurers in other countries through the guild, and at the same time reveals that this situation is due to Jack, the mountain keeper who was in charge of the mountain in the Poria territory, illegally giving up his duties…]
“…Hmm. That’s strange. In the tutorial, they said it would perish in less than a month, but at this speed, if you make a mistake, let alone a month, you’ll survive?”
I think while reading the paper translated by the status window.
I’m clenching my teeth and blaming myself, but in what country would the nonsense that a mountain ranger created a monster parade be accepted?
This is why countries do not link criminals with each other.
From the beginning, when they saw this, they thought the mountain ranger Jack was me, and not a single person would think of me as a criminal.
I sincerely hoped for the end of the fools who foolishly criticized my name and treated me like a bully, so I threw the information sheet in the trash can.
I thought that if I was lucky, I would arrive at Aigram after ep.1 and enjoy the completely peaceful city, but it seems that the current situation is not the start of destruction.
Kavi.

“Is Phonia’s national power enough to stop a monster parade? Just against goblin orc trolls?”
“According to what I’ve found, that’s not true. The knights and guards are outstanding, although I wouldn’t say they are, but they are definitely humans who have received proper training and been raised.”
“So? Are you saying there’s something different about this monster parade?”
“According to the information, ordinary goblins have the strength of an orc, the orcs have the speed of a troll, and even three trolls can pose a threat similar to that of a cyclops.”
“Hmm.”
The blue-haired girl frowning and holding her chin in distress looks like a child imitating an adult.
It’s a sight that would make an adult who knows nothing just smile happily.
However, the maid who is watching and who gave the information steps back as soon as her actions begin and acts so that not even a sound of breathing can be heard.
and.
“The information is false. It’s because the mountain ranger, that Jack guy, abandoned his duties. It’s not at that level, Kara.”
The girl takes her hand off her chin and begins to speak without hesitation.
“Yes. Your Highness.”
“Did you catch the mountain ranger’s movements?”
“It is said that there was a man named Jack who was issued an international adventurer status within Ponia and boarded a carriage train bound for the Empire. It was just…”
“Contrary to what was stated on the wanted list, the party has changed. So I don’t know if it’s him or not. Well, I guess that’s it?”
“…Yes. That’s right.”
I didn’t answer anything, but immediately the woman who told me what she was going to report in advance stood up.
“Call Chancellor Salver. And prepare an ordinary carriage without a seal.”
“Yes. I will follow your orders.”
The lady-in-waiting answered the words of the girl, who must have just been in her mid-teens, and quietly disappeared outside the room.
“Your Highness. Salver Catram. I came because you called.”
“come in.”
The girl, sitting proudly in front of an elderly man who had just entered, exchanged a few words of greeting and then went straight to the point.
“Tell Obama. It’s better not to support Fonia.”
“This old lady, I did not understand exactly what the ‘wisdom of the empire’ meant. May I ask for a detailed explanation in order to inform your majesty?”
“good.”
The girl, who may not have lived half of the chancellor’s life, begins to speak confidently. Gathered information and visible situation. a conclusion that summed it up. and.
“…So. It’s probably not long before Ponia is left. It will either perish or lose at least half of its territory. At that time, when the owner puts down his sword and cries over the lost land, the empire can step in and take the territory. That’s it. “
“Yes. I will deliver it as it is. Her Highness, Princess Othman of Ragni Blue Moon.”
queen of the empire.
Ragni, known as the Blue Rose of Wisdom, summons the maid again and changes clothes as soon as the Prime Minister bows his head and leaves.
“Tell the Prime Minister in two days. I forgot to tell you today, a man named Jack, the mountain ranger. I am not sure of the man’s location, so I will move and find out for myself.”
“Yes. Your Highness.”
That means going out of the palace. There was not a single lady-in-waiting to catch her.
No one catches her even while she is wearing ordinary commoner’s clothes and riding in an ordinary carriage prepared in advance.
‘It’s only natural that I don’t have anyone in the palace, but it’s really too much.’
Coming out of a space where there is no human to stop her actions, she rides on a carriage.
According to her prediction, the man named Jack, the mountain keeper, will surely become a great source of strength for her in the future.
and.
[Skill Blue Ruler’s Wisdom: Active.]
Surely, if he offered his hand, he too would need strength.
The princess of the empire started to move without hesitation.
