Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

163 Tracking

Stina tilted her neck furthermore as she continued her pursuit.

Because I thought it was strange that the man at the end of his gaze was across the street.

"... where are you headed?

"Outside the city...... it sure is weird"

"...... hmm.... but somehow I don't feel like I'm headed to some building."

"That's right..."

There are things in this city that are called city walls.

It is a stone wall that surrounds the city and blocks the outside and the inside.

Though there is a line to avoid demons, I can't say enough that if I could see what's going on out there, I wouldn't be able to live my days in peace, and just in case there's no chance.

That's why it's familiar, mostly present in the cities of this world.

And that's why we need to use the gates provided for each of us to get in and out of the city.

The city walls are not twenty meters high, so if you want to, you can jump over them, but few will try.

Because while doing so would eliminate the need to pay tolls, if found, they would be fined nearly ten times the toll.

Besides, it's quite likely you'll find it.

Sometimes tolls are cheap in the first place, and it's better to honestly pay tolls as long as you make such a risk.

Such a gate, but the city is equipped with four locations, east, west and north.

But across the street from the man, no matter what you think, it's a place that doesn't fit anywhere.

The current location is in the southwest, so if you want to go outside, the destination should be something like the south or west gate... but the guy looked like he was just about to head to that midway point.

"Are you trying to jump over...?

"I don't know if it's possible, but it does seem..."

It is certainly likely that you will find it by doing so, and the disadvantages are enormous.

But the truth is, there are benefits to doing so.

Passing through the gate also means being sure to be seen in the face.

Well, as Sheila and the others do, as long as you actually see the face of someone you're with, there's a way out, but there's still nothing you can do about it if you're alone, and either way, it's easy to reveal who you are.

In short, it would be inconvenient to try to be such a criminal that other cities would also be informed.

From these people, it is necessary to go beyond the city walls even if there is some compulsion to get into the city, and there is actually a hard way to find it.

Of course, there's no reason for the public to know, but there's a lot of horizontal connections between criminals and people behind them.

Sometimes the information is shared... I know some Stinas too.

However, the city walls of this city should certainly have been built in the days of the former Demon King.

Combined with the nature of this city, there shouldn't be a way out.

"... positionally, is that beyond the city wall already?... What do we do?

That's what Sheila has said and asked me, I guess, because after turning the corner, I chased her like I've always done, and if anything happens if she jumps over and gets to the other side of the city wall, she could lose her appearance.

And sure enough, even in Stina's view, right over that corner should be the city wall.

You are likely to lose sight of it.

"Right...... I mean, Stina can decide?

"... I feel even more so now? Didn't Stina decide to do this chase in the first place?"

"... now"

You're right if you ask me... I smile bitterly at the gaze of the two being directed at me.

Sheila has no hesitation whatsoever, and Felicia has a slight suspicion on her eyes, but she wouldn't give herself the right to make a decision or anything if she really doubted it in the first place.

I guess that means I haven't forgotten it at times like this, using it as my role... either way, it's no different sweet.

Totally no one and he thinks it's sweet...... I never thought I was this sweet either, exhaling.

But if we get this far, it's all over now.

Close your eyes and decide to stare at your front back.

"I don't know what else to do... if they noticed, I'd give up and catch them already"

Copy that, sir.

"... okay"

I was never tailed until now to see what I was trying to do.

That's why I let him swim this far, but it would be better than losing sight of him.

... or I still haven't told you why I thought that was suspicious, but still I didn't hesitate to snort between the two of them.

Totally, really, smile again and expose yourself from the corners.

All you have to do is pray that they don't notice you anymore.

Inhale, exhale, and stare at Ji's back.

Eventually, his back disappeared across the corner.

"Now rinse"

With Stina's signal, the three of them leaped themselves together.

Sheila leads the way shortly after, Stina delays a little, Felicia delays even more, but there's nothing we can do about this, and we don't have to worry about it.

In short, if only one person could see what that man would do.

However, the sound cannot be killed just because it travels at that speed.

It is also likely that they will be noticed, in which case the situation will be changed in the direction of capture.

Sheila, who had finally arrived first, stopped moving on the spot.

Doesn't not move to captivity mean... they didn't notice?

Or it could still be that he couldn't catch up and his figure had already disappeared... Stina, who caught up a few seconds late, leaned her neck as she lined up next to Sheila.

Somehow, but because Sheila seemed confused.

"What's wrong? Somehow, I just lost sight of it..."

"... I was able to follow him to the end."

"So you went outside from here after all? There are no other buildings that are likely to fit right in..."

"... yeah, I did go outside..."

And somehow Felicia finally caught up with me while Sheila was talking.

There shouldn't have been that much distance, but I'm breathing on my shoulder... well, I guess I can't help it.

And the witch ran with all her might about herself.

It is only natural that I should be tired.

Most of all, we knew that Felicia couldn't catch up.

I wish I could have seen one of them this time, so Felicia could have walked slowly later... but what didn't, personality?

I think about that and greet that with a bitter smile.

"Huh... so, what happened, so great?

"You can breathe without having to. Well, Stina's just hearing about it. So, I know you went outside, but why are you so confused?

It's not like I'm not wearing anything else.

If we went out in the first place, we'd have to go after ourselves.

For there is no point in giving up here, having followed you.

We can't just jump over ourselves, so we can't afford to go to the gate now and move to this other side.

This other side of the country is just so wide of meadows that I don't think I'll lose sight of it any time soon, but it's about out of a place like this.

There is absolutely nothing more than not knowing what you're trying to do.

but you know that Sheila still didn't try to open her mouth inside.

It's like, what I just saw, I still haven't been able to swallow it.

"... that guy walked out.... I didn't jump over it, I didn't do anything else... just keep walking. … as if there were no walls"

And as it were, I uttered those words.

"Hmm, what did you mean after all?"

Stina and the others were on their way to the west gate as we talked about earlier.

It wasn't the south, it was just the mood.

I was just wondering which way to go, and I just did that because I was feeling somewhat west.

... It's not because if you head to the South Gate, you'll catch another shabby building or something along the way.

Whatever it is, Sheila just told me about the wall.

"I checked and it was a normal wall... did you use magic, or something?

"... it wasn't like that"

"If magic is used on the city wall in the first place, it should be starting to react, and hey... oh no, is it possible that it wasn't just around there? Well, Stina can't use it to try it, so it's unlikely she'll be able to conclude soon."

"Mr. Stina used it, which means Mr. Stina can use magic?

"For once, though. I can't use detective stuff, so I didn't say anything when I was talking about it."

"... mmm"

So Stina knew why Sheila seemed a little dissatisfied or had turned to signs of envy.

For in the midst of exploring all things about the elves, I have found out.

If you knew you hadn't heard from him, though, it would just be suspicious.

Somehow I also feel like I wouldn't care if I already did, but I leaned my neck, pretending I didn't know, just in case.

"Hmm... If I could think of the rest, there was some special trick planted, or something... but it wasn't acting weird, was it?

"... at least not from what I've seen, didn't you?... but you looked like you were whining about something, so maybe it's magic after all?

"If that's all, there's still the possibility that I used some kind of trick... but what does it matter if I don't care"

Even though it's strange, it doesn't mean that we found out.

Actually, it looked like a wall, but it was just so manipulated by hallucinations, and there was a hole there, and if so, it wasn't a rash to let me use it, but if I can't get through, it doesn't matter.

Normally I just go out the gate and chase them.

And that's how I was thinking...

"... Yes? You can't go through, can you?

"Like I just said, we need a permit to get through here. Circumstances will be explained if you go to the Adventurer Guild, and a permit will be issued if it is deemed necessary. That's it. There we go. There we go."

Rejected without a bite, he waves to be driven away snugly.

Honestly, I'm upset, but it's obvious it's pointless from what we've said here.

I had no choice but to pull back honestly.

It's possible if you want to go through something else forcefully... but if you ask me if I need to go that far, it would be a subtle place.

"This... what shall we do?

"... give up?

"I guess it's the only way. I'm not gonna make it to the guild right now, and I don't think I'm gonna get a permit in the first place."

No, or maybe it's possible if we talk about it... but I haven't even told the Somas before because I didn't want them to take care of it somehow.

But if you really think about those girls, maybe you should talk to them.

"... no, I don't care about those guys..."

"... Mr. Stina?

"Oh, no, it's nothing. … unfortunately, do you want to give up? Again in the tunnel… now do you want to search this side as well"

"... okay"

"Got it.... Still, it doesn't mean that Mr. Soma did something, does it?

"Even soma can do something so quickly... well, I don't think we can do it."

It's undeniable, but it just won't be.

It's more natural to think about another possibility than that.

"... the Alliance people were better than expected?

"I guess that means"

"But then... Was Mr. Soma safe, out there?

"... I feel like I'm out"

I agreed.

It doesn't have to be forced, but somehow I feel like Soma can go outside for some reason.

She agreed with Felicia as she spoke her own doubts, and she snorted bitterly.

"Well... you should worry about this one more than you worry about him. There's a good chance we won't get a clue if we keep this up."

"I spared you the earlier one...... can't help but say"

"... well, good luck"

If we turn our gaze to the southwest just once, as Felicia said, we can't help it anymore.

Stina and the others restarted their search as they turned their minds back.
