Chapter 49 – Village in a Small Forest (3)
“What?”
After hearing what I said, Sylvia looked back.
“We can reduce that time!”
Thinking that she would listen to us if we spoke confidently, I walked up to Sylvia and shouted.
“Hmph, if I shorten it, it would be half a day. That’s meaningless, so go away.”
Sylvia waves her hand in my direction and tries to go again.
“3 days!”
I held out three fingers towards Sylvia.
“We can move everything within 3 days. How about that?”
“Hah? Don’t be a dick! Moving a 10-day distance in 3 days? It’s so funny and embarrassing.”
Sylvia takes my words and snorts at her.
“Just by looking at it, it looks like there are no high-ranking wizards here. What? 3 days?”
Sylvia started laughing madly, holding her stomach.
Haha! If you were just trying to make me laugh, you get 100 points out of 100!”
“Noisy!”
Puck!
“Ahh!”
Yuria hit Silvia’s head once again.
This time, her shock was so great that Sylvia grabbed her head and rolled her around on the floor.
“Hey… Are you okay?”
“How can it be okay? My head is clearly split in two right now!”
If you’re split, you’re already dead…
Also, I don’t know why Yuria is reacting like this today.
“Yuria, you too can stop. You have to sign a contract first.”
“But… That guy is so annoying. He’s been pointing at Jinu since a while ago.”
Yuria grumbled with a sullen expression upon my words.
“Anyway, if you trust us, it will be possible within three days.”
“Ugh… How can I believe that!”
I pointed to Minercia, who was sitting on Yuria’s shoulder.
“Do you see the dragon here? We’re going to use it to move it. Thanks to this dragon, we were able to get from Brighton Castle to Turchen Castle in half a day.”
After hearing what I said, Sylvia looked intently at Minercia.
“With such a small dragon? Why don’t you tell a lie believably?”
“Yuria, will you transform Minercia into Jackie Chan?”
After hearing what I said, Yuria ordered Minercia to fly up into the sky, and Minercia transformed into Jackie Chan.
“Eh?”
Sylvia’s mouth opened wide, as if she was surprised by Minercia’s transformation.
“It is quite possible to ride the Minercia transformed into a Jackie Chan like that. Even if you roughly calculate it, it would take about 10 days to travel one way in about a day and a half, so if you take breaks in between and move, it will be enough within 3 days.”
When I gestured to Yuria, Minercia became small again and sat on Yuria’s shoulder.
“What are you guys? This is the first time I’ve heard of you taming a dragon that transforms into Jackie Chan!”
“So are you going to do it or not?”
She tells Sylvia that she is the daughter of a caravan run by elves.
She says that this time, she was supposed to get and transport food for Ar Estel, but she made a mistake in the process of dealing, and it became difficult for her to meet the deadline as it is now.
After seeing Minercia, Sylvia thought carefully and listened to my story, saying that if it was true that she traveled a three-day distance in half a day, it would be possible.
Since I currently have enough money as compensation, I decided to help research information about game items.
It would be better to have additional people rather than having three people, and if there is a place that only elves can enter, you will need help from Sylvia.
Even if there were no clues in Arestel, we decided to investigate in various directions, including surrounding villages and ruins, to receive information.
We officially signed a contract and decided to move the next day.
After signing the contract with Sylvia, we returned to the accommodation.
“Under…”
“Ellie… Don’t look so sad. It’s not like we can’t meet again.”
She said as she looked at Ellie who had been sighing all day.
I never thought that just being away from me for a moment would make me feel so down.
“Yes… But I don’t feel very strong when I think that I won’t be able to see or hear Jinu for a while.”
“Don’t worry, the village over there will resolve it quickly.”
I hugged Ellie.
“… Thank you, Jinu.”
Anyway, it’s definitely a problem to keep in touch with each other when you’re far apart.
It would be nice if we could just talk from afar…
At that moment, one word came into my mind.
“Ah! Ellie, can you please leave for a moment?”
“Yes?”
She suddenly asked to leave, so Ellie looked puzzled.
“Wait for a sec…”
I had one word in my mind.
Whisper.
This is a basic feature in all games.
This is a feature that allows you to contact distant users. Wouldn’t this also be possible if you used the inventory yesterday?
I said to myself, imagining that I was sending the whisper to Ellie.
‘Ellie… Can you hear me?’
“Huh? Jinu? What the hell is this…”
“What do you think? Did you hear me just now?”
Judging from Ellie’s surprised reaction, it seems like whispering is possible.
“Suddenly, Jinu’s words rang in my head. Is this also the power of Jinu’s authority?”
“Yes. Usually people can communicate with each other over a long distance, but this is also possible. Ellie, would you like to talk to me thinking you are sending me a whisper?”
After hearing what I said, Ellie seemed to be thinking hard in her mind, but nothing happened.
“Hmm… Originally we were supposed to communicate with each other, but since I’m the only one who can use it now, it seems like we can only communicate in general.”
“I see… It’s a pity. I thought I could talk to Jinu from far away… But I can at least listen, so that’s enough.”
The atmosphere was a little down when they said they couldn’t talk to each other, but it seemed like they were satisfied with being able to spend the day on my side.
“I’ll send it at least three times a day. Is that enough?”
“Yes. That’s enough. Please don’t forget to send it.”
I must never forget to send it once in the morning, lunch, and dinner.
“Ellie, please leave Ji-nu to us and investigate diligently.”
“My lord and I are going to have a private time. Hehe.”
Ellie narrowed her eyes and glared at Lien’s words.
Seeing that, I lightly punched Lien’s forehead.
“Leen, don’t give Ellie drugs.”
“Yes… My lord.”
For Ellie, who has to leave from tomorrow, we decided to share the same room for today.
Ellie probably thought she couldn’t do it for a while like me, so she had an even more intense night that night.
The next morning we left in front of the hotel.
“Well, Ellie, we’ll be gone for a while, but we’ll find it and come back soon, so don’t worry too much. Yuria and Lien are here, so nothing will happen.”
“Yes. It has already been decided, so I have no intention of disobeying it. I just ask you to whisper to me three times a day.”
Ellie greeted me and then went their separate ways.
As she went out of the castle of Turchen, she found Silvia standing with her belongings.
“Oh, you’re finally here. Now then, I’ll take care of you.”
And it is the present.
Silvia, who was acting fussy, was hit by Yuria with her fist several times.
As I was mediating this, I decided to tone down my respectful tone with Sylvia.
“No matter how many times you get hit by Yuria, you still get tired of it. She can be a bit picky, so why are you doing that?”
“You should manage your subordinates properly… Just a little longer and my head will split in two.”
We are waiting for Minercia to carry our luggage.
We designated a few intermediate points and Silvia, Lien, and I went to those places first, and then Yuria moved her luggage with Minercia.
It would be nice to be able to move all the luggage at once, but there was more than I expected, so I had no choice but to move it this way.
“Be careful because I will not forgive you if you behave rudely to my lord because Yuria is not there.”
Lien, who had been listening from behind, came over and spoke to Sylvia in a low voice.
“Hi! Don’t suddenly talk behind my back!”
Sylvia was startled by Lien’s voice and stepped behind her, so she fell far away.
Now, this pattern is repeating itself countless times.
“It seems you never get tired of it either.”
“Ugh… You guys are weird. There are very few people who could do something like this to me.”
Silvia says that she is Estelle’s only daughter and that if she did something like this she would die on the spot.
She is not here, but she says that when strong elf friends she knows come forward, they are no match for Yuri or Lien, but we don’t know if that is true.
We’ll find out when we get there.
“But you’re really taming Jackie Chan. I can’t believe it when I see it.”
“Is that that surprising?”
Sylvia looked at me with a puzzled expression on my face.
“What do you mean by that? Until now, the only people who have tamed Holy Dragons on this Arpe Continent have been historical people. There are still quite a few people who have tamed small dragons like the normal form of Minercia that Yuria has.”
If you think about it, Aria also looked quite surprised when she first saw Minercia transformed.
I thought I was surprised by the way he transformed into Jackie Chan, and that was an amazing point, but I think I was even more surprised by the fact that he was taming Jackie Chan.
“So it looks like Aria was surprised too… I think she had seen people being surprised by this time, but she didn’t know because she didn’t say anything.”
“Usually, most of the people who deal with Jackie Chan are people of great status or whose background is unknown. That is why it was not easy to approach him.”
Uh… There was one guy who approached me regardless, but maybe that was just an idiot.
“Anyway, there won’t be any problem until the deadline. Plus, we can deal with the bandits and monsters that attack us while we’re out sleeping without any problem.”
“Well… Just looking at your fighting skills, it seems like there’s no problem.”
Sylvia looked behind her at the piled corpses of the trolls.
Lien is disposing of such trolls elsewhere.
In fact, as soon as she arrived here, what she encountered was a group of trolls on the move in search of food.
As soon as she saw the troll, she got scared and tried to run away. I caught Sylvia and Lien and Yuria quickly swept her away.
Silvia watched as the trolls’ heads were taken away with a single blow. She struggled in my arms, and she could only stare blankly.
It’s amazing that his attitude hasn’t changed even after seeing things like that.
“Well, here comes Yuria. Those are all the items she needs to move today, right?”
“First, you have to check everything you brought with you. If you move it this way, items may disappear along the way.”
When Minercia didn’t put down her items, Silvia began checking them one by one.
“Jinuni~~. I’m so tired. Hug me!”
When Yuria arrived, she came to me and was held in my arms.
“Yes, yes. Thank you, Yuria. Thanks to you, I can have a comfortable trip.”
“Hehe. I can do anything like this.”
She held Yuria in her arms and stroked her head as her tail moved left and right, which seemed to make her happy.
“Just don’t stick with your lord.”
As if they had finished disposing of the troll corpse, Lien also came up from behind.
“Do you want to come here too?”
I moved Yuria, who was in her arms, to her right, then raised her left arm and said.
“Ah! Well, then I won’t hesitate…”
Although Lien was embarrassed, she approached me.
The three of us were sitting there resting when Sylvia returned.
“Hmm, no items are missing. Ugh! What are you doing?”
When the three of them were hugging each other, Sylvia looked disgusted at the sight.
“I’m enjoying the peace. It looks like Yuria has moved in well.”
“Well, it’s something you have to do if you’re hired. By the way, are you planning on spending the night here?”
Sylvia said, looking around us.
Since I had a lot of luggage, I chose a plain with no obstacles rather than a forest with many trees.
“Isn’t this place too exposed? If we get attacked, I think we’ll be stuck.”
“Jinui, did I hit you on the head too much? You’re acting so stupid.”
“Kkkk, I shouldn’t have hit you hard enough. Haha.”
At Sylvia’s words, I burst into laughter without realizing it.
“With my sense of energy, I can react immediately the moment a hostile entity approaches me. I can deal with it right away, so you can rest assured.”
“Even if that’s not the case, we still need to be on alert. Let’s stand one by one in order.”
Sylvia had a suspicious look on her face, but she didn’t say anything, perhaps because of the way she showed when dealing with trolls.
We ate dinner with the food we brought, went to bed, and went into the tent.
Of course, Sylvia is a single-person tent that she uses alone, and we are a three-person tent that three people share.
