Act 1: Chapter 35: On The Way Toward The City

Act 1: Chapter 35: On The Way Toward The City

I was currently walking in the forest along with Lovis and co.

?Please just tell us if you feel tired, we’ll also take a rest along with you, Kanata-SAMA.?

?T-Thanks….?

Lovis told me so with a smile that reached from ear to ear that was always pasted on his face.

I wanted him to stop it, honestly, that smile was creepy.

?If you need anything, please just say it, I’ll even give you a massage.?

?… Thank you very much. I think I don’t need anything for now…?

?If you feel like it, I can even piggyback you. Please just tell me when you need it.?

?T-Thanks but maybe later.?

Yozakura and Damia, Lovis’s subordinates, were looking at our conversation some distance away from us with faces as if they couldn’t believe what they saw. Sometimes, they even whispered to each other.

I could feel that Lovis’s stock kept crashing as time went on.

Well, I guess that was natural.

?But, I guess you never know what will happen huh? To think that I met directly with a transported person. Though I knew about them from the legend, I personally met very few of them.?

?I see…. In short, they appear frequently huh??

I had heard about this from Nyarlhotep before but, it seemed it was true that those gods kept sending one person one after another to this world after giving them cheat items or OP skills.

Though I personally feel that their action just messing up with people’s life, from those gods perspective, there’s nothing wrong with sending people to the world they created.

?Yes, they’re always someone with an excellent moral sense and great power. I think, Kanata-sama is rather similar to them in that regard.?

Lovis kept trying to bootlick me.

Though I’m happy that the transported people like us were rather famous on this side… The truth can be cruel sometimes.

I wanted them to treat me normally. I mean, this person’s personality switch was extreme.

?But, Lovis-sama, you just boasting the other days about the fact that the transported person usually have rare and unknown items with them, you even boasting about your achievement killing two of them…?

?Shut up, Damia! See if you dare to blabbering like that again, I’ll sew your noisy mouth so that you can’t speak again, ever!?

Look, his personality switching again to the extreme end, he even threatened his own subordinate.

Just how desperate is this person to save his life.

… But, I guess I should really turn over these guys toward the one government rather than letting them roam around.

If I’ve to say whether they’re good people or bad people, I would choose the latter.

?Anyhow… I guess it’s natural for Kanata-sama to not know the left from right seeing that you’re a transported person. In that case, I’ll give you the map of this region.?

Lovis then gave me a rolled up paper.

It seemed to be the map of this region.

This might be a much better choice than only the map of this forest, considering the fact that I knew next to nothing about the world outside of ?Cocytus?.

?Ooh, thank you very much, I almost forgot about that… I see, so we’re currently in this area, and the direction we’re going to is over there.?

It seemed that we’ve come to the edge of the forest, just a little bit away from the closest city.

?If you feel like it, here…. This is a magic compass that will work even in the most chaotic place. Please take this as our gift since it’ll be really useful for you, Kanata-sama.?

Lovis took out something like a choker with a golden compass attached to its one end from his bosom pocket.

?T-That should be your favorite item right, Lovis-sama!? Rather… we wouldn’t be able to reach the deepest part of the high rank dungeons without that! Even though it’s supposed to be the only one…?

Yozakura screamed in panic.

?Don’t spout such nonsense! Why can’t you guys understand that surviving now is more important than what comes later!?

Lovis yelled at Yozakura with a demon-like face and when he turned around to see me again, a beaming smile had already plastered all over his face.

?Please, take my gift, Kanate-sama.?

?Ha~h, I thank you for your gift then…?

Does this thing really have that much value in them?

Rather, I get the feeling that I’ll show unnecessary hatred if it turned out that this item has too much value in them.

I took out my ?Akasic Record?from my magic bag and opened its page.

?????????????????????????????????????????????

?Adventure King’s Golden Compass??Value ? ? rank?

A compass with powerful resistance towards magical power spots thanks to the special magic formula engraved in it and its special materials.

The owner of this compass won’t lose their way even if they dived into high rank dungeons.

?????????????????????????????????????????????

? A rank huh…?

According to Lunaire, the rank for an item composed of 9 rank.

From the lowest to the highest, it’ll be F, E, D, C, B, A, and S, followed by Legend, and Phantasmal.

Though I had no idea how to separate them by rank, I guess it was a pretty normal item since its rank was slightly better than average.

I mean, Phantasmal rank items were basically scattered around in ?Cocytus?.

I guess it was not that valuable.

?Well this much is barely passable I guess.?

I guess they wouldn’t be that agitated if they only lost a mere A rank item.

Lovis looked extremely surprised upon hearing me say those words.

Y-Your mouth is opened way too wide, dude.

Not like I was gonna tell him that though.

?Ah, my apologies, accept this gift of yours then.?

I stowed it into my magic bag.

?P-Please don’t treat it like cheap goo- Erhm, I mean… Er, well, it’s nothing…?

Lovis sent a bitter look at me seeing I just casually throw the compass into my magic bag.

?C-Come to think of it, if Kanata-sama is just by himself, you’ll arrive faster by running, right? No, please don’t misunderstand, it’s not like we want to get away from you as soon as possible or something, it’s just that… we can’t just casually enter the city..?

?… U~hm.?

Surely, it would be faster if I just went alone rather than going with these Level 180 twerp but, I could take my time.

?… Well, since there are so many things that I want to ask you guys about this world, would you guys willing to accompany me for a while longer??

?I know I-… Nay, I mean, it’s the biggest honor to accompany you! We’ll gladly become your attendants!?

Lovis was clearly discouraged but he fixed his posture immediately.
