All right, everyone ready? Roxanne?
Yes, master!
Sherry?
Y-Yes!
Good, let is go back home then.
I did not want to stay in the Adventurers Guilds building for too long to avoid attracting unnecessary attention to my newly-formed three-man Party, so I decided that it would be best for us to go back home right away without any needless dilly-dallying. While acting as natural as possible, I murmured the incantation for the Fieldwalker spell and created Warps black portal on the wall and walked through it, emerging in the living room of our house in Quratar on the other side. Then after a few seconds, the one who emerged first was Sherry, who was looking even more confused than before, and the last one was Roxanne, who must have gently pushed her forward from the back. Well, given her situation as the new slave who does not know what she should expect from us, I guess it is perfectly natural for her to react in such a way. I know that letting her experience the Warp sensation empirically instead of explaining it all in details to her first because that would take too much time, but even so, maybe we should give her at least some kind of warning beforehand?
Eh? Eeh? EEEEhhhh?!!!
Yup, looking at her and seeing how she is just looking around while being all bewildered, letting her know that we were going to use a Skill to teleport would have been a good idea, but for now I will refrain from dumping the explanations on her all at once, and offer them to her one at a time whenever it will be necessary.
This is our home in the town of Quratar, which we are currently renting. For the time being, let us just sit down so that we can talk about what we should do next, okay?
Y-Yes, of course!
I think the first order of business would be to go and buy any daily necessities that Sherry might need, and maybe do some minor shopping for other things if we will have any time left after that.
Roxanne and I were sitting at the table in the dining room, while Sherry continued to stand while keeping herself behind and slightly off to Roxannes side.
Yes, I do not think that shopping for things for Sherry is going to take all that long, so we can definitely do that once we are done.
I cannot say that the presence of another person made things uncomfortable. . . but it will definitely require some getting used to. Up until now, there were only the two of us here, so the chair in front of me at the other side of the table always belonged to Roxanne so that we could sit face to face whenever we were having a meal. Both of us sit in the middle of the table, which is wide enough for six people to be sitting there at one time, three people on each side. I have made sure to choose such a table specifically because one Party can have up to six Party Members, and since I plan on having that many slaves one day, I thought that it was going to be a good long-term investment.
Well, it better not take long, because I still want to take a bath afterwards, so I will be depending on you to help me fill it again.
This will also be a good occasion to see if our bath is going to be enough for more than two people, because if it turns out that it will not be enough, then we will have to order a new one to be made as soon as possible.
Yes, of course. I am looking forward to it as well.
I am glad that she ended up liking baths as much as I do, because now, even if the entire day ends up being draining and tiresome, we are at least going to have something to look forward to in the evenings.
Roxanne showed me a big smile and laughed. Dear God, her doggy ears are shaking in such a cute way whenever she is laughing. The only downside to it is that even if I wanted to pet her cute ears right now, I would not be able to do it because the tables surface effectively separates us from one another, making it impossible for me to reach to the other side without pancaking myself on the table itself.
Uhm. . . . . . . . . master?
Yes? What is it, Sherry?
I know it might be rude of me to ask about such a thing, but. . . . . . could it be that you are capable of using multiple Jobs? Because if so, then that would be all sorts of amazing (TL Note: Sherry, not you too!) since I only heard of such abilities in myths and legends.
Sherry asked me with a troubled look on her face. Oh my, how perceptive of her. Who would have thought that she will be able to deduce that much with only a small hint that I have unintentionally given her? She might be even smarter than she looks like. If she was able to figure that much out, than it is no surprise that she inquired about me having multiple Jobs, since Field Walker, a Spell that allows the user to travel whenever they want to in the world as long as they have been there before and have enough mana to do so, is a Spell that can be used only when you unlocked Adventurer as a Job, and I am not at that point in my dungeon-crawling career in this world just yet. Not to mention that in my Intelligence Card it is stated that my Job is an Explorer, so she must have add two plus two and concluded that since I am supposed to be an Explorer but am also capable of using Field Walker, then I have to be able to use multiple Jobs. Also, myths and legends, huh? This might be a topic worth investigating, but let us put that aside for now.
Regretably, I do not have the Job of an Adventurer yet. What I used just now was a Movement Magic called Warp.
Movement Magic. . . . . . . . . Warp?
Yes, Movement Magic, Warp.
Sherry parroted what I just said as if she could not believe it, so I repeated it for her.
Is it really just Movement Magic? Not Space-Time Magic?
Space-Time Magic? No, I am pretty sure that Warp is just Movement Magic.
I do not know where Sherry got the idea with the Space-Time Magic from, but in my Bonus Skills Menu, Warp was definitely classified as Movement Magic. If it was truly a Space-Time Magic, then I think it would make it possible to operate and travel within all four dimensions of existence in accordance with the law of Lawrences Transformation (TL Note: In physics, the Lorentz transformation or Lorentz-Fitzgerald transformation describes how, according to the theory of spacial relativity, different measurements of space and time by two observers can be converted into the measurements observed in either frame of reference. It is named after the Dutch physicist Hendrik Lorentz. It reflects the fact that observers moving at different velocities may measure different distances, elapsed times, and even different orderings of events.),but is Warp really capable of something like that? And if so, would it not mean that its classification as simply Movement Magic is wrong, and it really should be placed under Space-Time Magic category?
Uhm, I can see that master looks confused, so allow to explain what I wanted to say in more detail. That fact is not all that well-known, but when you use Field Walker, not only space, but also time changes while you are using it. That is why Field Walker is classified as Space-Time Magic.
Are you talking about the time difference?
I do not know what a time difference is, but sometimes it is that when the origin point of Field Walker has been established in the morning and the one using it arrived at their destination in the evening, or in the dead of the night, meaning that Field Walker is a type of magic that not only moves its user through space, but also advances the time when used. Hence, Space-Time Magic.
So, she was talking about the time difference after all.
