Chapter 104

Translator : PolterGlast
After returning to the
Holy Elmore Empire, we decided to work as adventurers for the time being.
We weren't sure if we
could just use the same things we used in the Grust Kingdom, so we went to the
guild at a later date to get the details.
"If you want to
work in the empire, you need to register as an adventurer in the empire as
well."
However, it wasn't
like we were starting from scratch, as they would take into account our request
completion rate and evaluation in the kingdom.
That being said,
neither Miku nor I had completed any significant requests, so we were starting
from the bottom here as well.
We didn't intend to
make it big as adventurers, so we just finished the registration and sold the
materials we took out of the item bag, and had them treat it as if we had
completed several standing requests.
After selling
Revenant's weapons to make operating funds, we decided to go to a cafe for the
time being.
They didn't have
coffee, but they did have tea.
Wasn't coffee discovered
in the New World?
I wondered if this
world hadn't reached the Age of Discovery yet.
While munching on
baked goods like chiffon cake, I thought about what to do next.
"I'm also curious
about Grisnia's movements... but for now, I think we should go further
east."
"...So we can go
home quickly, right?"
I nodded at Miku's
words, who had skillfully blurred the lines so that it wouldn't be a problem
even if someone overheard us.
My [Home] gift became
more and more powerful as there were more places where I could set up doors.
So, while hunting
monsters, we headed further east.
If possible, I wanted
to go to Elmoregrad, the imperial capital of the empire, and somehow get an
appointment with the emperor of the Holy Elmore Empire.
It would be great if
we could ask them to protect the heroes there... but I guess it wouldn't go
that smoothly.
Our immediate goal was
to use [Home] to raise our stats and prepare for the classmates to defect to
the empire... but now we had something else to worry about.
--The information
about the demons that Alicia-sama told us.
The meeting between
the king and the demons in the royal capital was something we couldn't ignore.
If the demons were
coming, everyone in Class 1-A wouldn't be able to stay out of it.
"The most difficult
thing is that we don't know what either the king or the demons are
thinking."
We didn't know the
king's or the demons' intentions.
At least, since they
were at war, it might be a messenger for peace... but at least the Grust
Kingdom denounced the demons as evil Demon Lord's minions.
I didn't think that
king would easily sheathe his sword.
The reason why the
demons came was also a mystery.
Maybe they wanted to
stop the war while they were still in a favorable position... but we didn't
even know if the demons were completely united.
There might be trouble
on their side, or the Demon Lord might have changed.
We didn't know what
they were thinking, but there was one thing we did know.
That was that
something would definitely happen at the meeting.
"For now, let's
try to keep in touch with Princess Alicia regularly. It won't take much effort
if I go alone."
"Yeah, that's
right. I don't think I can do much... but I'll support Masaru both mentally and
physically. Also, I'll use my free time to train myself properly. I want to
catch up with Masaru as soon as possible."
We had decided on our
immediate goals.
To go to Elmoregrad,
and to keep in touch with Princess Alicia regularly.
And to find out the
date of the meeting and stand by nearby on the day, in case the talks between
the kingdom and the demons broke down.
From the demon's point
of view, the heroes were unstable elements summoned to kill them.
There would probably
be a lot of movement on both sides. Considering that Miku was almost killed,
they would probably have no problem blaming the demons and killing the heroes
who weren't obedient.
For the time being, I
wanted to be able to help out in case of an emergency, so that no one would be
harmed.
If we were thinking
about evacuating from the Grust Kingdom, it would be essential to go to
Elmoregrad and get an appointment with the emperor before the meeting... I
might have to run at full speed alone, even if they suspected my movement
speed.
In the worst case, we
might have to use the power of [Home] to send everyone to the Elmore Empire.
It was really
troublesome that we couldn't even guess what was going to happen... but it was
important to prepare for the worst.
"We have a lot to
do... let's do our best together."
"Yeah! Leave it
to me, I'll make you some delicious food!"
Miku, who made a
muscle pose, was very reliable.
She had the strength
to fight, but she was still immature in many ways... I'd be happy if she could
support me.
