My First Trip was to Another World

This stay in the village of Elf is scheduled for two days. I leave as soon as I have a day off. And the day of rest was already about to pass. The day ends with the adjustment of the magic props and the maintenance of the tools.

We're leaving early tomorrow morning, so let's say hello to Grandpa first.

I searched for a security girl and had my grandfather called.

Now that we know it's useless to be vigilant, wait appropriately. Where will it appear from today?

The tree in front of me swayed. There was a rush and a rubbing of leaves, and my upside down grandfather came down from the branch.

"I kept you waiting."

"Wow!"

This grandfather is losing his temper, too. I wasn't going to be surprised where it came from, but I was surprised again.

Fine. I'll get back to you soon.

"... I'm leaving early tomorrow morning. We're on our way to investigate Elf Country."

Talk to your upside down grandfather. Never get stuck about hanging around.

"Uhm. If you find out anything, let me know."

Grandpa says as he rocks under the branches of a tree. I don't think I'm going down. Wait for a scratch? Too bad, I'll never scratch.

"By the way, when are we going to fix the junction?

"Right...... I can't do it right away. We're a few months away."

"Right. Let me know when you fix it. If you don't know where the junction is, you won't be able to enter the village."

"Uhm, for if the LORD cannot come, he will also be in trouble. Let's do it when the lords are here."

Grandpa's face is turning red. If it's hard, I wish I could go down to the ground.

"Finally, I also want to know the structure of the junction. I want to be there when I fix it. Out of the way?"

I keep talking, but every shaking grandfather is turning his face red and purple. Being mean and hanging all the time, you must have made me sick.

"Just look... then... I don't mind. Materials………………………. I think so. Let's find it... Goodbye!"

Grandpa seems to have a hard time speaking up. If it's that hard, I wish I didn't hang from the beginning.

He quietly went down to the ground and walked home flustered.

I didn't hear you very well, but you said you had the dossier. I'm going to fix it. Is there a manual left? Let me take a look at it next time.

Speaking of which, I kept my smartphone with my grandfather. I will be contacted when I make the repairs.

And I picked up the morning of my departure. Quickly withdraw the tent and the set of tools and leave the village. It's only time for the night to dawn. I never met anyone.

"Heading to Mirzia for a moment, but where should I go"

I remember the location of the border. I think we should go for the suspension bridge first, but then I have no idea. Even if we stumble across the city, we don't know if we can get in with the permits we have.

He's familiar with Mr. Lily and Claire, so I'll leave them to the two of us after we get into Mirgia.

"There's a small city near the border. If you want to stop by."

Claire answered, but I'm not sure what the "small” scale is. The town where I lived in Japan was small. It has a population of about 100,000. But if there were 100,000 people in this world, I'd feel pretty big.

Whatever it is, you'll find out if you go.

"Well, let's go there"

"Wait a minute. I have something to tell everyone.

Of course, Milgia is not Alencia. The common sense of the athletes doesn't work. "

"What do you mean?

"First of all, the position of an adventurer is not a good one. In some cases, they treat you like a criminal.

And the Church is powerful. You better stay away from the clergy because it's troublesome. I don't think we'll ever see each other again, but nobles and knights better stay away from each other. "

That's a pretty troublesome country. Apostolic Summoning seems to be more flourishing in Mirzia, but it is good not to be called in this country.

When Claire finished talking, Mr. Lily raised her hand small.

"Oh, and you shouldn't use demon props. The church doesn't look good."

Ms Lilli supplements. What a troublesome country to ban magic props. Well, only while I'm in the city.

The Church South in Arencia is stopping by this way of thinking. It's hard to imagine not using magic props at all, but it's not something to show off to the peeves. But then you don't know why Mr. Lily is going to Milgia.

"Didn't Lily go to investigate the demon props?

"Uhm. Yes, but I was staying in the name of investigating antiques. Elf's magic props are old, so sometimes they line up in Antiques City."

Mirzia is next to the Elf Country, so it's probably the area where the fighting was most intense. A lot of magic tricks still fall asleep somewhere. Don't worry about Antique City. I want to see it for once.

"I see. When does Antique City do this?

"I do it every year in the cold of winter."

You can't do that with this permit. I don't know how far ahead, but it won't be within 25 days.

What we're doing in the winter is probably a farmer's side job. When I plow the fields, I think they come out of the dirt.

But do we need to force ourselves to stop by this city? It's a troublesome country, so it looks like it's a good idea to go through the city and straight into the woods.

"Hey, why don't we just go straight to the woods? You won't have to stop by the city."

Equipment, food, tools, everything. I don't have anything to buy. I wonder what other countries are like, but because of this, I think I'll go to Antique City time.

"Right...... right. If you can't use magic tools, it's more comfortable staying in a tent."

"What? I want to go!

"Atashi usually wants to sleep in bed."

"Well, it wouldn't be funny to go now. It's a city of nothing."

The reaction is mating, but the reason for stopping by is weak. This time it's a pass.

"We'll come back when the Antique City time comes. We're going straight to the woods this time because we have limited time"

I was wondering if I could stop by if I had time to go home. There's not much benefit to staying in an inn for us either. The tent is too luxurious.

I think I'll buy a folding bed because Claire wants to sleep in bed. There is no steel frame in this world, so it was a troublesome bed to carry the wooden frame apart. But if you want to use the bed, this is the only way.

Crossing the suspension bridge is Milgian territory. It's a buffer zone for a while, so there are no cities or villages. It's enough to see a fortification-like building every once in a while. A soldier sends his gaze from there, but he's not coming this way.

Claire's story says you can speak up if you break in from outside the regular route. If you walk with dignity, you have no problem.

However, if you run and move or off the street, you can speak up. So even if we're going to the woods, we need to walk in the direction of the city to some extent. I think if I really run, I can get away with it, but I walk because I want to avoid useless trouble.

It was a meadow right across the suspension bridge, but as we progressed, the grass was diminishing. It's like a dry wilderness. Probably not as rich a country as Alencia.

Claire spoke as she walked over looking around.

"There's gonna be slime around here. I'll hunt if I see you."

Claire is rarely motivated to crusade. Normally, I'm up for a demon crusade, but the slime seems special.

In Earth's games, slime is often treated as the weakest miscellaneous fish character. I wonder what it actually is.

"Is Slime Weak?

"The slime that goes out around here is weak. Even children can win enough. But sometimes when you leave it, it gets pretty strong."

You're not sure if it's a miscellaneous fish or a strong character. Do you mean to keep it hunted among the miscellaneous fish? Probably leave it alone and you'll have a major accident.

"I see. You hunt before you get stronger."

"Yeah, there's that too. But slime is water for most of my body. There's not much water around here, is there?

And yet the slime sucks water, so it dries up even more. Hunting is like manners around here when you see them. "

Further to the conversation, they say there will be a massive outbreak of slime, drying up the well. Moreover, when it grows, it stores toxins in the body. When that happens, they pollute the soil and water after the crusade. Besides being the food for demons and more demons.

It was totally just a pest. If you see it, let's hunt.

The fort went out of sight and the soldiers' surveillance was gone, so I ran for the woods. Same wilderness, with few grass borders in the woods. The trees that grow in the woods are also different from the Alencian woods. Less leaves and less tall, trees we don't see much of in Japan.

I searched while running, but there was not even a stream near here. I can magically get the water out, but if I can't, it's gonna be hard to get the water.

Find the right place to set up a tent. Alencia needs to hunt some grass, but there's not much grass here, so there's no hassle with it. It's easy to do that, but camping is difficult because there's no water.

I trampled through quite a few slimes until I arrived here. Similar to the feeling of cracking a water balloon. It was quite refreshing, as a blue chunk about the size of a handball cracks the momentum with 'bread'.

But the material seldom remains. It seems that when it grows to some extent, it produces nuclei, but only four nuclei have been acquired today. There's a little demon stone in the nucleus, but it's not a golden demon.

"Hey, the slime you crushed. Some of them were grown slime..."

Claire said with a troubled face that I was looking at the nucleus of the slime.

Maybe it's about one slime that's not looking right and three different colors. These guys dropped their nukes.

Something's wrong. Slime was trying to shoot the magic out of my leg. I didn't like it when my clothes broke, so I crushed them in my mind. I think this guy was a little stiff and elastic.

Different colors are just different colors. Normally crushed.

It's just that these fluids stink. It smells sour. I had trouble staining my clothes and shoes with bad odor, so I changed my socks and used the magic props to wash them away immediately.

"Heh, I guess you mean the smelly one. Sounds like you should use some tools next time."

"Are you okay? Does that fluid dissolve iron?

Is it acid? It's sour and dusty. But it won't be a big acid. There is no tingling like when you touch hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid, and if you have strong acid, your socks will not be safe.

Even if you use tools, Machete can't... Maybe I should buy a wooden stick.

"You can't have that much acid working. This garment won't dissolve, and my body is fine because it has physical strengthening"

It's expensive clothes, but it's only expensive and it's pretty strong for magic. At the same time, it is resistant to temperature changes and acids. But the impact is simple, so watch out for heavy blows.

Good thing you washed it off right away. I may have left as much spots and smell. Oh, the socks might have melted a little. Let's check back later.

That's it for today's activities. Finish your meal and prepare for tomorrow.

What I found out after spending half a day in Mirzia is that this country is not adventurer-friendly. The difficulty of camping is high, and the crusade of miscellaneous fish demons is not gold. In the meantime, adventurers have a low social status.

If you can't use magic props, I guess you don't even have a magic bag. Explore with a big backpack on your back. Must be pretty tough...... I'm really glad Alencia summoned me.
