Isekai Taneuma

An old man stood on the hill facing Lord Hermes' castle.

The top of her head is bald, and her side head is lined with gray hair like a pure white cauliflower. Every time the wind blows, a long white beard stretches to the chest. He was wearing a white robe, sandals and a cane, not because he had weak hips, but because he was a wizard.

The hill was higher among the surrounding plains, and the ridge served as a border. On top of the pass was a large oak tree, and the old man lay on the thick trunk, overlooking the castle town that stretched below him.

Starting from the square on the south side of the castle, the beautiful city stretched in a radiant fashion with oasis in the plains that stretched all the way. The people who lived in it, both divine and human, smiled constantly, and the sound of happy laughter could be heard even on this faraway hill.

The street stretching from its beautiful castle town is arcuated to avoid the hills and leads to the other side. As he followed the road with his eyes, and looked across the ridge, he saw another city on the extension connecting the castle and the hill.

During the day, black smoke leaked from the chimney spreading over the sky, and the tongue roofs of the barracks were all red and brown with acid rain. The cobblestones that covered the road were peeling off everywhere, with brown and weedy greenery on the ground peeking from below painting mosaic patterns.

And all the faces of the men that came and went were blackened, and they were wearing worn clothes, and some of them walked barefoot. Traffic was intense, and people traveling along the street used carriages, but they didn't like getting into the city because of the worst road conditions, and they all carried large luggage that was as big as their backs.

At that time, one of the legs that was unloading the load dropped the luggage on the ground. The dust dances alongside a loud noise called Zushin. And when the ruler came and smote the man with a murmur, he cried out and apologized. And as he carried his huge luggage with his vain eyes, he walked into the city, mixed in with his companions.

Her face was covered with hair and her teeth peered out of her mouth. The big beast's ears were twitching over his head, and his naked upper chest plate was furry. When those who obeyed the Beast shouted something as they slammed Muchi on the ground, they followed with a frightening expression.

The old man glanced at the sight and shrugged his shoulders again towards the beautiful castle town. Those who live in that beautiful city know nothing about this black-smoking steam city. Beasts are forbidden from entering that city.

It is a sad thing.

The old man sighed and turned around, turning his feet towards the obscene and obscene city. A wind blows and shakes the wheat ho in the barn. The smell of wind smelled of iron.

With coal burning black smoke and steam, the city was dark even though it was still daytime. All those who went were walking blindfolded and tended to lie down. There are fights about shoulders bumping into each other all over the city. Once in a while a woman passed by, an obscene curse flew over her, but she passed by as if she had no ear.

No one cares about others in this city. If there is, it will be about as bad as talking to the other person. It was a lonely city, like a big city, like a surrounding village.

There was an inn in such a corner of the city. Ten extra coins... an end-of-place inn that's worth hundreds of yen and is like an abandoned bird. It's a cave-like inn where caravans occasionally visit the city and things that have lost their places of destination roll in.

Of course, there was no way to serve meals, the host could not get anywhere but check-in, the wind would shake, and the Blue Seat House would still be better. Such a sister-tooth architecture also appeared from the doorway of a pale building, with a musculoskeletal majesty.

When I heard that STR23, everyone ran away. † Jeanne Dark †.

One step out of Yasujuku, he stretched out and breathed dirty air into his chest and coughed. When I accidentally took a deep breath, I remembered this, and I drooped.

And another fellow, Fengwhite, came out from the door and rubbed his back in silence. Jeanne smiled bitterly at such a feng and took the payroll bag out of her pocket.

"Thank you, White. Yes, this is today's allowance."

"I'm always sorry... Jeanne. I'm just useless....."

"Never mind. This isn't just about now. I'm sure you'll one day become the greatest wizard in the world, just like in your previous life."

"Jeanne is the only one who compliments me like that. I'm so happy."

"Yeah! I'm not flattered. A woman's guess comes true. It's a man."

Jeanne stares at the phoenix with sparkling eyes. He took Jeanne's eyes seriously.

"I will try to meet my expectations. I... if Jeanne were a woman, I'd have liked her."

"Hey Yan! White, I'm so glad you said that!!

Jeanne's face turned bright red and his hips twisted. After a blast of light, he mumbled! Take it easy.

"Come on, I'm still working in the jungle today, and I'm going to make a lot of money for you, White. I hope so."

"Don't push me. I'll be fine if you come home well. [M] I'm still waiting for Jeanne's favorite beef stroganoff today."

"I'm glad! That word will cheer you up. I feel like I'm going to succeed in everything today. I'll be there, white. Good luck with your training."

"Ah, today I'm going to get my stats up. Good luck, too."

"You can do it!"

Jeanne smiled with a smile on her face and shook her arms as she ran around. The smile that looked back over and over again dazzled me. Feng kept staring back at Jeanne as she turned her hand.....

Whether or not Jeanne disappeared after turning the corner,

"Peep, pep, pep!! Damn it, what am I, if you were a woman, I'd have liked you...!! It's disgusting, then!!

Feng, who was damaged by his own lines, rolled around the ground tightening his neck. Every morning, a vagrant who was awake in front of the inn stares at the scene with a noble expression.

Feng rubbed the chills on his spine and rolled down to the ground until he felt comfortable. Then he stood up against the wall with his hand. He reversed his payroll bag and rolled the two silver coins out in his palm.

"Hmm... just two. This won't pay for the liquor."

And when I closed the door of the inn whispering, I ignored the gaze of the vagrant who had no expression until now and started walking in the opposite direction to Jeanne.

The shriveled back was like a salesman throwing up under the guards of Shinbashi. Most of the words that came out of my mouth were just bad words about my partner, not a word of gratitude.

"I envy him every day."

He didn't realize the truth was a price to pay to face Jeanne's incompetent self who had to live....

... two months have passed since I escaped Isaac's castle.

In the meantime, a lot of things happened, but the two of them lived near the castle, in this black smoke wrapped city lodging.

Jeanne stood up as an adventurer... while Feng was raised by such Jeanne, to improve his status... and went to a training camp.

As usual, he didn't have a profession, which prevented him from becoming an adventurer like Jeanne, so he went to the city training camp to improve his status in order to do something about the status of All-10.

As was also discussed in the castle, there are no occupations in this world. If you think about it, there will be no occupation for demons like Oak and Troll, so it may be helpless if he was unemployed, but it is inconvenient to live in human society as it is.

For this reason, I tried to get into some kind of occupation early, but even if I went to the training center for the past two months, there was no indication that his status would increase.

He walked down the main street sighing and came to the center of the city. Most shops in this city were concentrated in the center of the city, and the neighborhood was crowded with people.

Workers who come from outside, customer prostitutes who make goods for the men, and peddlers line up business tools on the side of the road, and negotiate with each other for a price, as well as the voices of sellers who sell snacks and walk, slugs and fights are occurring everywhere, so there is no time to calm down anyway.

Along the street, pubs, restaurants, and shops are lined up, and weapons shops display blunt light-reflecting swords and armor on their doorsteps. At the corner of such a shopping street, there was a large building, which was the only training ground in the city. From inside, you can hear the sound of a wooden sword hitting a dummy doll, or a teacher hitting a chalk on a blackboard during class.

Feng passed by the entrance to the training center (...), turned around the corner of the neighboring tavern, and stepped into an alley where the blind men looked at him recklessly. To avoid inadvertently looking at the eyes of men who did not try to hide their sights from the slaughter, he passed through the alley looking straight ahead, and entered the back street and was sucked into the magic tool shop right in front of him.

"Welcome... you're the husband of the Dejanero bird! Come early today."

"Hello, store owner. Can you fix something nice today?"

Feng threw a silver coin at the owner who approached friendly while rubbing his hands. When the store owner catches up to it,

"Thank you so much for everything, Milord! I have something for my husband today."

As soon as he pulled into the back of the shop with a humble smile, he came back with a bottle in his arms. The bottle was filled with crystals like milky white tablets, and when white took one of them out, he basically smashed the gun with the hammer he had on the thousand pieces of paper he had.

And when he made a line with powdered crystals, he took out the straw he was holding in his pocket and slowly penetrated into his nose....

Phew....

I inhaled crystal powder from my nose.

"Oh? Oh? Ooh?"

As it is absorbed into the body through the mucous membrane of the nose, the vision becomes narrower and the nerves are unusually sharpened. All the contours of what you see look thick as if they were drawn in magic ink, and you remember the illusion that they are engraved directly into your brain. Suddenly, the rainbow-like light began to reflect happily, and the feeling of happiness held in my mother's arm dominated my body.

"Ah, ah, ah! Sparkling, sparkling! It's amazing! Ah... it's kimochiiiiiiiiing..."

"Hehe, how about you, husband? Pretty good, huh?

"Wow, wow, wow, this is awesome! It's totally different from before!!

"My husband taught me how to make it, and it's a crystal that extracts only the active ingredients. You look different than usual."

The expression of the shopkeeper who said that also melted into a trance and drooling from the end of his mouth.

As a matter of fact, now they're chipping MP potions by taking the fact that those without magic will become rallies.

When she was drank MP potion at Isaac's castle, Feng was in danger of dying because of it. But later, when I looked back, I felt more refreshed and not worse. Somehow, she was a beauty. So, if he could, he secretly wanted to try again.

And when he was kicked out of the castle and came to the city, he found out that MP potions were sold normally, and he quickly tried to get them... but the taste of the blue juice was so bad that it was no exaggeration of a punishment game.

This isn't how it feels, it doesn't look good!

That's what he thought. He talked directly to the owner of the magic tool shop he was going to, and he invented a way to extract only the drug effects from the ingredients.

"My husband invented this high-purity crystal... it's just a little boom in this neighborhood."

"That's right, isn't it? I thought it was difficult to drink MP potions."

"I'm sure it will work, and if this gets into circulation, it's only a matter of time before we take the world, fuhihi"

"Mmm-hmm. In order to do this, we need to improve our purity a little and consolidate our scaffolding so that we don't allow others to follow us."

"If your purity improves, you'll feel even better, and it's rewarding."

"Idiot, I'm just saying that for the sake of the user... but before you do that, do you want to take another one?

"Hehe, my husband loves you too ~"

"Ah! Kimochinnyah ~ sparkly ~ sparkly ~"

"Sparkle! Sparkle!"

"Sparkle! Sparkle!"

"It's not sparkly!!!

Gotcha... there was a noise and a really sparkly spark in my head. Feng was suddenly beaten with all his heart, and his brain was shaken.

"Uhhhhhhh! There he is!!

As Feng wandered around the ground in pain and dizziness, a relentless pursuit flew in. He was kicked and rolled and looked up at the attacker with tears, and there was a little boy standing there.

His back is shaking with his long blonde hair tied down in an unconventional way. is pushing an overalled tuna hem into a safety shoe. The height is a little short for 160. When I was about to look good in my pants, I looked cheerful.

The boy looked down at Feng crawling on the ground with his eyes as if he saw dirt.

"I didn't see you here or at the drill, so I thought you were selling oil somewhere... I didn't know you were dumping me in this place."

It's not a yak. It's an MP potion.

"I've never seen anyone use MP potions like this before!!

"That's right, isn't it? I'm going to call this Annaka and sell it."

"I don't look bad at all, but on the contrary, it's clean!

The shopkeeper caught sight of the boy beating Bashibashi and Feng's head with a sharp thrust.

"This is a boy. That's right, don't hit me in the head. My husband's brain is full of dreams that we can't imagine. This golden tree... is the Savior of all mankind more polite... uhh!?

Shut up, Sanshita.

When the pistol was pushed to the tip of his nose, the owner pulled his face and raised his hand. When the boy overlooks such a shopkeeper, he retreats with his hands raised.

The boy snorted his nose and violently pulled the feng still crawling on the ground.

Come on, stand up. Let's go to the drill.

"Eh... no!"

"You're a rejected student. Just get up. Jeanne will cry if she finds out."

Feng was dragged out of the shop by the boy. The shopkeeper is dropping him off while saying such a thing. The boy who dragged Feng was strong, and resisting seemed useless. The status of this world speaks for itself, so it cannot be judged by its appearance.

This boy... met Guillaume two months ago. It was the day Feng and Jeanne escaped from the castle and arrived in the city. Since then, he has been taking care of Feng with Jeanne, who is busy working as an adventurer.

How did this happen... the story goes back two months to the day they were expelled from the castle.
