Chapter 89
Farewell
Translator : PolterGlast
The next day, I left
my house and decided to act alone.
Miku-san's face was
well-known within the kingdom, for better or worse, so there was a huge risk in
taking her with me.
It was more convenient
to move alone, so I asked her to wait at home for a while.
First, I headed to the
[Knight's Holy Remains].
When I used Door
Placement, a new door placement point called the [Dungeon Depths] had been
added, separate from the twelfth floor.
Apparently, the boss
room with the coffin and the flower field were counted separately.
I pulled myself
together and checked each floor, but the monsters had completely disappeared.
It seemed that the
dungeon had indeed stopped functioning.
And, in inverse
proportion to the number of monsters, there were more adventurers inside than I
could have imagined.
I wondered if they had
come to investigate.
Kazuma-kun and the
others were already gone.
They had probably
returned to the royal castle.
Next, I went to check
the hut, but it was still broken, with no signs of being repaired.
Naturally,
Varietta-san wasn't there.
I wondered if he was
doing well.
If I was alone, I
could check on the royal capital periodically.
I decided to come look
for him before too long.
When I entered the
Adventurer's Guild, it was quite chaotic.
Apparently, the
[Knight's Holy Remains] had stopped functioning, causing various problems.
There was probably
nothing much since there were no monsters... oh, but there were the flowers
beyond the magic circle.
They were probably
going to be pulled out.
It was a little sad to
think that I wouldn't be able to see that beautiful flower field anymore.
"Oh...
Masaru-kun! Long time no see!"
"Long time no
see, Melissa-san. What's with all this activity?"
When I feigned
ignorance, Melissa-san spread her arms excitedly.
"Apparently...
the [Knight's Holy Remains] has been conquered! It seems a hero in the kingdom
did it!"
"Oh,
really!?"
Apparently, the
destruction of the dungeon core was attributed to Kazuma's harem.
Guh, they stole my achievement...
but I didn't feel that way at all.
In fact, I was
grateful.
It was already this
chaotic, and if I were the one who conquered the dungeon, I couldn't imagine
how much trouble would come my way!
Thank you for taking
it all on, Kazuma-kun!
"Come to think of
it, Masaru-kun, you were diving into the [Knight's Holy Remains], right? Where
have you been all this time..."
"Ah,
haha..."
I couldn't tell her
the truth, so I just laughed it off.
After a brief chat, I
listened to the guild's lively conversation, which was in a festive mood
because the [Knight's Holy Remains], which had been a thorn in the side of the
royal capital for so long, was gone.
For now, there was no
mention of Miku-san's disappearance.
I could hear everyone
praising the heroes.
At this rate, everyone
in Class 1-A would be very busy.
I wanted to contact
Mitsukawa-kun, but it seemed better to avoid contact until things calmed down.
"Since the
[Knight's Holy Remains] is gone, I'm thinking of leaving the royal capital.
Thank you for everything."
"...Oh, you can
always come back to Grisnia if you get lonely, you know?"
"--Yes!"
And so, I left the
Adventurer's Guild.
I decided to burn the
image of Melissa-san, who was waving goodbye, into my mind.
While wandering around
the city, I headed to the east gate.
There, Banz-san was
still doing his checkpoint duty, a little careless as always.
"Oh, isn't this
Masaru, the future adventurer!?"
"Hello, Banz-san.
I've actually come to say goodbye today. I'm thinking of leaving the royal
capital."
"Oh, the royal
capital will be noisy for a while. Are you going to the labyrinth city or
something?"
"No, I want to
broaden my horizons, so I'm planning to travel around."
"Oh, I see...
it's good to do various things while you're young! I can only cheer you on, so
do your best!"
He said that, but I
had already decided on my destination.
Beyond the eastern
frontier village, there were several territories separated by forests, and
further on, there was an area inhabited by monsters.
Further on, there was
the Holy Elmore Empire.
This place, known for
its higher national power and stable rule than the Grust Kingdom, was my and
Miku-san's next destination.
When I passed through
the east gate, I decided to give Banz-san something I had decided on
beforehand.
"Banz-san, please
accept this if you don't mind."
What I handed him was
a straight sword I had been carrying--the double-edged sword used by the
Skeleton Knight.
It was better quality
than anything sold at the weapon shops in the royal capital.
"Are you sure
about this...?"
"Yes, Banz-san,
you're my benefactor."
"I see... then
I'll gratefully accept it."
I had a lot of them in
storage, so it didn't hurt my wallet much.
If I gave him Revenant
equipment, it might raise suspicion, but the Skeleton Knight's sword wouldn't
leave a trail.
"Well then, see
you later!"
I didn't have a good
impression of the Grust Kingdom.
But the country itself
was different from the people who lived there.
Banz-san, Melissa-san,
Varietta-san... everyone I had met was a nice person.
Compared to when I
came here five months ago, I think I have changed a lot.
I would be back in the
royal capital before too long.
When that time came...
"I'll surely...
be back!"
"Ou! I'll be able
to use this sword properly by then!"
Waving to Banz-san,
who was holding up his sword, I slowly walked away.
And so, I left the
royal capital Grisnia, where I had stayed for a long time since coming to
Alistella--.
