Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

151 Slight Disturbance

Soma, who split with Stina, now decided to do an eastward search as it were.

As he walked down the alley, he had at some point come to what should be called the east rather than the north.

That's why I met Stina and the others.

That's half right when it comes to aiming.

Though the roads were somewhat intertwined, I can tell to what extent I'm walking around and in which direction I'm heading now.

I dared to walk to come this way, that is.

Then why did you stop searching for the north side? Because there seemed to be no inn over there.

That was likely at a time when there was not actually a single one facing the boulevard, and in view of what was in the alley, it seemed the same.

That is why he decided that it would be better to go somewhere else honestly rather than expand the scope of exploration there.

If there is a problem, I don't know how far Stina looked around, but... if I wore something else, I would have worn it and there would be no problem.

We're not even competing.

If a good lodging is to be found, that is fine.

Of course, if I can find a better place to stay, I can satisfy my self-esteem even though I can accomplish my purpose. It is common for me to have two birds with one stone… not to be a lot of things where I am greedy.

Much time has elapsed since then, and the time remaining is about an hour.

Given that, you still shouldn't be greedy for nothing.

"For now, if it doesn't come to fruition, is it good?"

Whimpering about that, Soma moved on as she looked around... and then turned her gaze to the other side.

It's the heart of the city - no, it's something that looks further ahead, and narrow your eyes so that you can look for the characters somewhere in that direction.

"Speaking of which... I wonder what's going on with those two"

Even though I think it's okay, I still can't get out of my mind to worry about what's going on.

As far as the view goes, the inhabitants of this city seem to have a mild temperament for the price, and Sheila wouldn't be so late if something happened.

I didn't see any monsters around, and I know they're extra worried.

"Ever...... hmm? Demons......?

So unexpectedly, Soma realized there was.

It's about the thought that I've just come up with… Speaking of which, I haven't seen a single demon around here, except for that requested crusade alley.

Whether or not I encounter demons is in some ways a matter of luck, so I didn't even care until now... oddly enough, odd.

"Hmmm... If anything happens, is it then?"

But at that time, I just had to do something about it, and while I was at ease, I still cared about the two of them, and Soma resumed her search for accommodation.

Sheila narrowed her eyes in front of the sight in front of her.

It is a meadow on one side that is spreading there, something unlikely in the whole city, no matter what you think.

But that's natural in a way.

I'm not all over the city in the first place, so where the impossible existed all over the city in front of me, it was no wonder or anything.

So Sheila tilted her neck looking at it because of another factor.

In a literal sense, there's only meadows there.

It was that I didn't see a single demon.

"... I knew it was weird"

"Surely I don't see a single demon... is that so weird?

If I turned my gaze to my voice, my sister Felicia would also have tilted her neck next to herself, but the reason for this would be what I just said.

But Sheila doesn't think she's ignorant of her sister.

It is true that my sister knows from time to time and doesn't know for granted, but maybe because there are more people who don't know about this.

"... Normal demons are rarely seen at all, except in certain places and circumstances"

"A particular location or situation, is it?

"... for example, all over the city where the boundaries of avoiding demons are stretched,"

"Oh, I see, is that what you mean... but it's, like, a place, right? situation, what do you mean?

"... for example... if there's something very strong and you're spreading killer around, or something?

But it is impossible, if not impossible.

Because demons are basically uncontested with each other, it would not be like demons fleeing and hiding, for example, where there was once an evil dragon in sight.

If you go into indiscriminate sabotage. Or something like that.

This doesn't make a big difference even if Sheila is the opponent.

Where Sheila walked around, no matter how different her combat abilities, the demons would never escape.

No... Conversely, the more difference there is in combat ability, the more pronounced that trend can even be said.

That is simply because most demons do not have that much intelligence.

I can't feel how different my combat abilities are.

It's something that can't happen without a lot of extra time, such as not seeing such demons at all.

"Is that even if Mr. Soma's opponent?

"... same.... Unless Soma spreads a bunch of killers, but Soma hasn't done that before"

"Even when you defeated that demon, was it?

"...... hmm.... Soma doesn't even have to kill to defeat that much demon"

"That makes me feel like another freak...... I see. So Sheila went out of her way to see what was going on out there."

"... n, this is obviously weird"

Yes, Sheila and the others are here because, of course, if they're looking for an inn, they're lost.

No, I couldn't find the inn at all, and it's true that we talked about what to do, but I went out there because I had been curious about this situation earlier.

After the accommodation was decided, we could all come back and check, and at first we meant to, but if we could afford the time, we had no hand in not checking.

"This isn't always the case around this city, is it?

"... Well, I can't say for sure without listening to you, but if you do, maybe there's no Adventurer Guild here"

Besides, from what I saw, there were quite a few adventurers, and all of them that came back were gone.

I don't think all that number can be eaten by chores or collection requests alone.

If so, demons should appear here, as they usually do elsewhere.

But not now.

This was an obvious anomaly.

"Something's wrong for now, I see... what do you want to do? Will you go back to the city and join Mr. Soma and the others?

"... I'd just like to look around the whole way if I could... is it easier to rendezvous?... I don't know what it is."

It is best to check with your own eyes, but if this is truly an anomaly, it is likely that some information has already been brought to the Alliance.

The absence of adventurers in the vicinity would also be due to the fact that if they hadn't moved to other places, they would have returned for the report.

Was there anything wrong along the way because I was also going to the alley to find an inn?

Whatever it is, after we make sure of it. But it's not too late.

"So shall we go back to the city first? If something really happened to me, it would only get in Sheila's way."

Nothing, Sheila doesn't think so, but she didn't dare say anything about it.

Sometimes I simply couldn't think of a word, because I thought that when I said something, maybe it would be accepted as a family but therefore a word.

It wasn't my role to say something, it was someone who could influence my sister more than I could.

Given that, I think it's really the same thing to say.

I heard that we lived together for about a month, but that's how much influence we can have.

Because I had been away for a while, I felt even worse.

Well, whatever it is, it's the right material.

You just have to do what the right person deserves, and each has a role for each.

That's all I'm saying...... Sheila looks up at her sister next door and exhales secretly.

I could finally free myself from what was tied up, so I wanted you to be more aware of that and be selfish, with that in mind.

Turning his back on the view in front of him, my sister and I walked out of the spot to get to the rendezvous point.
