[That’s true. Nobles wanting to be adventurers are filled with so much admiration and aspirations that it gets troublesome.]
I was not going to say that much though. I ended up smiling wryly.
We crossed many noble adventurers but they were all people who didn’t understand anything about being an adventurer.
Even though they were in the protection of their parents till now, they suddenly begin to travel the world without anything to try and make a living.
Well, without any aspirations, no one would try to become an adventurer either though, I think.
We were also the same. After getting summoned to this world, being made to fight something like a Demon God, but somewhere inside, we were still kind of happy.
A different world where we knew nothing. In the fights with monsters, even the quality of food was several levels below the current society.
At that time, it’s amazing we actually accepted something so dangerous like subjugating the Demon God. Even if it was this world’s goddess that asked us of it.
In that sense, the nobles who knew of this world better than us could be considered to have become adventurers with a much better reason.
There are those who become adventurers simply because they won’t be succeeding their house as well.
“The world of adventurers is one where you won’t move forward with just admiration alone.”(renji)
“Yes. I have learnt that perfectly well in the past 1 month.”(fran)
Saying that, Miss Francesca shrugged her shoulders while fixing her posture and luggage.
Seeing her actions that had become more adventurer-like than before, I laughed slightly.
“But still, I really had fun. In this adventure.”(Fran)
“haha—-Something like this is still faraway from an actual adventure.”(renji)
This girl had only seen a remote rural area.
Attacked by goblins, subjugating Orcs, and had simply walked back to the Magic academy.
That’s still nowhere near an actual adventure.
Elfreim, where the demi-humans live.
Abenelm, where the demons live.
Elves, dwarves, beastmen, fairies, spirits and many other races.
Demons and the Demon Lord and giant and strong monsters that don’t live on this continent.
Golems as big as small mountains, demonic beasts. Serpents and krakens that can sink ships. Griffons and Dragons that rule the skies.
And—-the Demon God.
“An adventure is to risk life and death.”(renji)
“fufu—-I had my hands full with just goblins though.”(fran)
“Well, that’s true.”(renji)
Normally, it is like that.
A single goblin would be a threat for a villager. That’s how dangerous this world is.
But I think, exactly because it is such a world, the bonds between people are strong and every day you feel truly alive and even walking like this while journeying seems so much fun.
Passing through strangers on the highway. Since the population of this world is not very high, you don’t meet too many people either. In a place like Tokyo, nobody can imagine how many hundreds of people pass through you in a matter of seconds.
But even though there are so many people, how many of them would actually greet you?
Calling a random stranger, how many would reply with a smile rather than a suspicious gaze?
Cars, trains, airplanes.
They’re convenient but we know how the world turns out due to pursuing too much convenience.
And, exactly because this world isn’t that convenient, the bonds between people are this strong. This world feels much warmer exactly because of that.
Maybe that’s why——-we chose this world.
It’s not convenient. There’s no internet nor any telephones.
It hurts when you get injured and you could die just because of slight negligence.
Even then, this world felt fascinating. Even though the danger to life was always by our side, still we thought of this world as much better.
“If it’s Miss Francesca, goblins would soon be of no threat to you.”(renji)
“Is that so?”(fran)
“Probably.”
“…….you’re supposed to say ‘absolutely’ or any other such word there………”
I looked away from Miss Francesca who was grumbling and looked to the front.
The gate to the city was in front of us.
There was an inspection for entering and about 10 people were standing and waiting for their turn to come. Everyone had to pass through it. Well, we shouldn’t have any problem.
Joining the line, I sighed.
“With this, we’ll finally be done eh?”(renji)
“Sorry for all the trouble.”(fran)
Even though she had been tired till now, she’s laughing energetically now.
Our destination—–or rather, she must have felt relaxed to have reached the place where she lives.
