Chapter 107: Chance Encounter
Trantor: Tseirp
The next morning, Grand-san and Dn-san had a terrible hangover.
ording to Pa, dwarves enjoy liquor with high alcoholic content that humans find hard to drink and they certainly are heavy drinkers but it doesn’t look like their race is spared from having hangovers.
“They should ept their punishments for over drinking.”
Pa dered and returned to her own workshop.
“Luciel-dono, show mercy, please cast status recovery magic.” (Grand)
“Luciel-sama, there’s some truth in Pa’s words but please.” (Dn)
The 2 old man crawling on the floor with poorplexions like they were about to die was certainly pitiful so Iplied with 「Recover」.
“Oh man~ We drank way too much.” (Grand)
“I thought of getting a morning drink to get rid of the hangover but physically … I would have to go through something terrible if I mixed it poorly.” (Dn)
The 2 of them returned to how they normally were after I applied recovery magic on them.
“By the way, I don’t really like hearing you call me Dn-san so it’s fine if you just call me Dn as usual. Our age difference doesn’t matter so please leave behind the honorifics.” (Dn)
” … Then, you can call me Luciel as well.” (Luciel)
“Muu, I’ll try.” (Dn)
“Come to think of it, Grand-san, Toretto-san isn’t with you?” (Luciel)
“Yeah. He seemed to have gotten into a slumptely and before he disappeared he mentioned that he was going to a ce that might give him a lot of inspiration.” (Grand)
“So he also experiences slumps as well.” (Luciel)
“Rather than calling it a slump, it’s more like delusions … oh well. Well then, we’ll start measuring the 3 of them so you can call them over.” (Grand)
“Yeah. The 2 of them … are most likely looking forward to their new armor.” (Luciel)
“I see. We’ll be starting then Dn.” (Grand)
“Yes, Elder brother Grand.” (Dn)
After that, the 2 of them showed serious expressions that gave off the vibes of first-rate cksmiths and even Lionel seemed overwhelmed by their power.
I had nothing to do so I thought of touring around Rockford.
“It’s dangerous so I’ll tag along.” (Pa)
Pa stopped me saying that it would be dangerous alone.
“I also wish toe along.” (Rician)
Then, Rician raised her hand and conveyed that she also wanted toe along.
Well, she’s now a resident of this ce so it’s better if shees along.
I thought so and agreed to theirpany.
Incidentally, I’ve already dispelled her ve contract.
“The 3 of us will go together then. But, what’s the danger?” (Luciel)
“There are various gimmicks set up. Furthermore, your magical power have not been authorized yet.” (Pa)
“Oh. Those things we passed through yesterday huh … well then Pa, I’ll leave it to you to guide us.” (Luciel)
“I’ll entrust it to you.” (Rician)
“Sure.” (Pa)
After leaving a message at Dn’s workshop, we left Dn’s house.
The streets were a mix of beautiful cobbled stones and bare ground, they did noty cobble stones on top of where there were underground workshops.
In the vicinity of the workshops, sounds like the hitting of iron and the grinding of metal could be heard and there were arge number of ces with smoke plumes rising up.
Looking up into the sky, I saw the pseudo-sun made by Sir Rainstar floating in the sky and pondered.
“Is the pseudo-sun floating up in the sky simr to the one made by Pa?”
“The one here is exactly the same as outside, it rises in the morning and sinks in the evening. It always maintains the same temperature and humidity.”
” … If that’s the case, then it’s as if the whole Rockford is covered by a huge magical tool?”
“Yeah. Furthermore, it absorbs magic in the air so it can continue operating semi-permanently.”
“It’s as if the inside of abyrinth.”
“He most likely used a simr technique.”
” …… ”
I had a slightly bad feeling when I heard that.
Did Sir Rainstar intercept a ce that was going to be abyrinth with the help of the spirits?
Which is why instead of abyrinth, there are rumors that the dragon sleeps within the mine … I could not help but think of that possibility.
A ranch was spread out across the back and there was a small ntation there as well.
What caught my eye was the abundance of wells.
I don’t understand why so many wells were dug but Rician asked Pa something then.
“This town feels so unbnced. Workshops and this ranch do not feel like they belong in the same town.” (Rician)
“I’ve heard that it’s the hometown of Sir Rainstar.” (Pa)
“So he was formerly a farmer?” (Luciel)
“Yeah. But various things happened and he lost it.” (Pa)
I see.
None of that was written in the book that I read.
“Is that so.” (Rician)
Rician had a slightly dark look after she heard that.
“It’s good that there are peaceful locations as well. That’s right. I thought we were going to get our magical powers authorized?” (Luciel)
“We can register it in the town hall at the center of the town.” (Pa)
… So there are government offices in this world as well huh.
I had that thought in my mind as we headed toward the town hall.
Then, we reached the reception desk but the receptionist wasn’t human.
To define it further, it wasn’t even a life form.
To define it even further, it was something like an ATM at a bank.
“All you have to do is stand there and answer the voice thates out. You’ll be sent to the entrance of the town if you lie.”
” … Is that simr to the magic circles inbyrinths?”
“Yeah.”
Was Sir Rainstar a physicist? Or could he even use space-time magic?
Either way, he’s too amazing …
“Is Pa able to develop teleporting technology as well?”
” … I should be able to establish the theory and technology right before I die. However, I don’t have the magic stones needed to make that.”
“The attribute as usual … is it not possible to ignore that?”
“I’ve never seen space-time magic stones. I can’t begin thinking about what I should do for something that I’ve never seen before. And the people who hold space-time attribute are only those who have exceeded the space-time.”
Pa rapidly talked with a sorrowful expression … so the people who can acquire space-time attribute are only the reincarnated individuals or those associated with them?
I feel sorry for Pa but I set my mind to not acquire it.
【Please state your full name.】
【I will measure your magical power pattern.】
【Please state your profession.】
It’s full of harmless questions.
However, thest question was a huge problem.
【Are you a reincarnated individual, transferred individual or possessed individual?】 (TL: Basically the 3 usual ways for an otherworld novel, reincarnated as a baby, teleported into the world or mentally transferred into another person)
Pa and Rician were behind me.
If I answer no, the fact that I’m a reincarnated individual will certainly be exposed.
Seriously what a souvenir to leave behind!!
I answered using myst resort.
“Ja” (TL: He said yes in German.)
It seemed like it could hear my answer even though I answered differently in German so I somehow weathered through the situation.
【Registration has beenpleted.】
I was relieved when I heard that voice.
I was just about to praise myself foring up with the solution by answering in German to safely ride out the situation but the next instant, my consciousness receded.
When I came to, there was a young man in front of me.
“Here is?”
I was seated on a sofa and the young man was also seated on a sofa with a table in between us.
“This is something like an astral space I created.”
He deliberately drew his finger and a ck tea set appeared.
“I mimicked a butler for numerous years so I’m familiar with making tea.”
The young man said with a smile.
I already understood who that young man was.
“You’re Sir Rainstar Gustard right.”
“Yeah. You’re … Luciel-kun right. You’re the 5th visitor I’ve met.”
The young man … Sir Rainstar is a handsome man who wears a gentle smile.
In addition to the abilities mentioned in his biography, his ability to create a space like this is likely to be the reason why the world could not leave him alone.
Why was I brought here? Rather than that, I’m more curious about the other 4 visitors.
“Luciel-kun, are you a reincarnated individual?”
“Yeah. I received a 15-year-old body and was reincarnated into Galdardia.”
“I see. I’m Japanese and a sinkhole suddenly appeared when I was going home after work and before I knew it, I was reincarnated by God Kuraiya into a baby.”
“You were from Japan? Then were you from the Edo or Meiji era?”
“No, the year I died was the year 20xx.”
“Is that so? It was year 20xo for me.”
The time warp is quite significantly different.
A mere few years became more than 300 years here.
“The fact that you’re here means that Philosopher-kun wants to prevent the revival of the demon lord.” (Rainstar)
Demon lord sounds ultra-dangerous though …
” … Apparently, a new hero would be born 40 yearster and fight with the demon lord.” (Luciel)
“You sure are well-informed … ” (Rainstar)
The moment he spun those words, I felt magical power.
“What are you doing?” (Luciel)
“Yup. I appraised you. Even though your profession is a healer, it’s admirable that you trained to this extent in just 6 years. Your high abnormal condition resistance is especially fantastic.” (Rainstar)
“Why the talk as if you’re looking from above?” (Luciel)
“Well it’s since I’m the founder of the healer church … so, have there been any changes to the church?” (Rainstar)
“Yeah. It’s due to the passing of time but …” (Luciel)
I briefly talked about the problem with healer’s charges, thebyrinth under the church and the incident in Ienith.
” … Something along those lines. Oh right, the fact that the Pope is your daughter was indeed surprising.” (Luciel)
“I won’t give you my daughter.” (Rainstar)
“Even if you simply wish to say something you had always wanted to say as a father with a daughter, I do not remember having such a rtionship with the Pope.” (Luciel)
“Are you not interested in my daughter?” (Rainstar)
” … It’s a hassle so I’d like to continue with the talk, the reincarnation dragons were sealed by the evil god but I’ve released the holy and me dragon so it’ll somehow be alright right?” (Luciel)
I felt that it was not funny even as a joke so I returned the talk to the main point.
” … You’ll lose with just that. No matter what method you use the most you can do is achieve a draw.”
“Why do you say that?”
” … The main god and the evil god cannot coexist. Simrly, the hero of the light and the hero of the darkness cannot coexist.”
“Ha~”
“The space-time dragon exists but this time, it doesn’t matter. Because the space-time dragon is the temporary appearance of Main God Kuraiya.”
“It’s simr to RPGs where the informationes to light near the end.”
“This is reality … or not but you will be returning to reality. Rather than that, if the hero does not release the reincarnation dragons, the hero can only use the light attribute while the demon lord can use magic from all attributes except for light and space-time.”
” … So by releasing them the hero’s attributes increases while the demon lord’s attributes decreases?”
“That’s right. During my time I possessed all the attributes so defeating the demon lord was easier than defeating the evil dragon but conversely, it would have been difficult even with the help of the spirits.”
… This guy, only now does he reveal that he was the hero and he killed the demon lord.
“You were the hero? But that was not written in your biography though?”
“I only knew muchter that the one I defeated was the demon lord and furthermore, I had a dream.”
“Dream?”
“I wanted to create a city in the sky. I was able to use flight magic before I became an adult due to the help from the spirits. I wanted to share with others that excitement.”
” …… ”
“After the holy and me dragons, I hope that at the very least you release the basic attributes water, wind, and earth dragons. If you do so, the demon lord should only be able to use thunder, gravity, and poison so it should be fine.”
What do you mean by fine, I totally do not get your meaning.
“I no longer want to expose myself to any more danger than I had already faced so by no means am I going to dive into thebyrinths that give me shbacks of death to release the seals on the reincarnation dragon or dance to the tune of the spirits.”
That’s right.
Survival is my priority so that should be fine.
Fortunately I have money as well, is it not fine if I live my life peacefully?
” … I don’t know the current status of the world but it’s most likely tougher than I can imagine.”
“Yeah. I’m weak enough to almost immediately die when fighting with normal monsters … this time, the evil god is involved as well so …”
“Evil god huh … ah, time’s up. I wanted to talk a bit more but the next time you’re able toe here would be a couple of yearster at the earliest.
Which is why for now, if you pass through Rockford’s small gate and touch therge gate, you should be able to meet the earth dragon.
Also, if you visit the city in the sky Nelldal, call out … to the central fountain.”
“Ha?”
“If you do so, they should definitely be your strength.” (TL: There wasn’t any pronoun given so it can be he/she/they.)
“Wait a minute.”
The moment I reached out with my hand, my consciousness once again receded and I was at the town hall when I came to.
“Luciel-sama? What are you waiting for?”
“You look pale?”
Even though we talked so much, it was as if the clock stopped.
Was it because he used space-time magic?
Thisnd might not be abyrinth but I found out that the earth dragon is indeed here.
Even though it doesn’t seem like there’s a need to clear abyrinth …
Does the fact that there were a lot of ant monsters around this area mean that there’s a greater possibility that a lot more ant monsters would appear?
And if I release the earth dragon, the monsters will be weaker?
… I can’t make a decision immediately.
Rician and I finished our magical power authorisation.
We had nned to tour around the town after that but Pa and Rician were worried about my poorplexion so we returned to Dn’s workshop.
But, on the way back, I was made painfully aware that in life, one is not given the time to think.
