Chapter 545: "Shared Property"
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Phew Oh, thats a relief.Whats a relief?
Hehe, I just think this world is one where Ill be able to guide you properly, Allen. Thats a relief.
Got it.
The first world we arrived in was my birthplace.
Considering that Ed and I had only visited a third, if not less, of all the worlds out there, I had worried about what to do if we ended up somewhere completely unfamiliar this time. Thankfully, those worries proved to be unnecessary.
Hmm, I see. So this is where we arrived.
Hmm, I see
Looking around, I realized we had appeared right next to the town where I first met Ed.
Allen mimicked me as if it were a game, and I gently patted his head before taking his hand in mine. Together, we started walking toward the town.
As we made our way, we passed a few people. I greeted them, Allen imitated me, and the warm smiles we received made it easy for us to enter the town without issue.
The streets were filled with the same cheerful bustle as countless other towns wed passed throughthough this one felt distinctly nostalgic.
Wow, so many people
Thats right. You mustnt let go of my hand, okay? You dont want to get lost.
Okay.
Allen gripped my hand tightly, and as I felt the warmth of his small fingers, I glanced around again.
There seemed to be more smiling faces here than what I remembered.
(Oh, thats right. Theres no Demon King in this world anymore.)
Although I had once defeated the Demon King alongside Alexis and the others, Ed had also taken down a Demon King in my absence. As a result, this world no longer had that looming threat.
It made sense that peoples faces were brighter and more cheerful without such a great danger hanging over them.
(Still does that mean I wont get to meet Alexis and the others again? Thats a little sad.)
Alexis was the prince of a great kingdom, Nortland. Back then, I had been part of the Heros party pursuing the Demon King, so it had been natural for us to be together.
But now, with the circumstances entirely different, there was no connection between an ordinary elf like me and a prince like Alexis.
Sure, if I accomplished something significant, I might be able to formally request an audience with him.
But there was no way I could interact with Alexis in the same way as before.
Ah!
Kyah!?
Suddenly, my arm was yanked hard, pulling me from my thoughts. When I looked, I saw that Allen had bumped into someone passing by.
Hey, watch where youre going!
Im so sorry! Are you okay? Allen, are you alright?
Yeah, Im fine
Its not about being fine! Youve got some nerve, bumping into me like that!
Fortunately, neither of them had fallen, but Allen answered quietly, his expression blank, while the woman hed bumped into was thoroughly worked up.
She was about my height, with fiery red hair and sharp, determined eyes.
Listen here, time is precious for a genius like me. Its worth far more than the time of commoners like you! And yet you had the audacity to block my path and delay mewait?
The woman ranted, only to stop abruptly as she stared closely at Allens face.
Allen, uncomfortable under her scrutiny, quietly hid behind me, but the woman paid no mind and grabbed his face firmly.
Ah! W-What are you doing?
Have we met somewhere before?
Huh? I dont think so
Really? Hmm I couldve sworn
The woman was so close their noses almost touched, and Allen glanced around nervously, clearly flustered. She didnt seem harmful, so I decided to watch for a moment longer before intervening. Eventually, I gently took her hand off Allen and stepped between them.
Im sorry. I sincerely apologize for my companion bumping into you. Could you please let this go?
Hmm fine. Ill let it slide.
Thank you. Now
But only if that kid works as my porter!
Excuse me?
Puffing out her chest proudly, the woman pointed directly at Allen. I couldnt help but let out a baffled sound in response.
Are you serious? Allens just a child.
So? Kids can carry stuff too. Actually, its more like hell be my personal attendant than just a porter. He should feel honored to take care of my daily needs!
Am I, uh supposed to take care of her, Onee-san?
No, absolutely not. What brought this on anyway?
You asked me to forgive him, so I kindly gave you a condition, she said nonchalantly.
And if you dont like it, how about thisIll let you off for just ten thousand gold coins.
T-Ten thousand!? Why should I pay such an outrageous amount for something as minor as a bump?!
Her unreasonable demand finally pushed me over the limit. I furrowed my brows and glared at her, but the woman remained completely unfazed.
The bump isnt the issue anymore. Its about your insolencerefusing the honor of serving someone as great as me. Thats worth ten thousand gold coins.
Ugh, forget this! Come on, Allen, lets go.
O-Okay
Hey! Wait a second! [Flare*
If you cast that, I wont hold back either.
Sensing the magic she was about to unleash, I lowered my voice. She wasnt holding a staff and seemed to be using a shortened chant. Judging by the lack of malice, it was probably meant to intimidate, not harm.
Even so, I wasnt about to let her aim it at us without responding in kind.
Who are you?
The woman must have realized that the faint breeze brushing her cheek was my subtle warning. Her sharp eyes widened briefly before narrowing again, and she lowered her stance into a battle-ready posture.
It was clearthis woman was strong.
Im just a traveling elf. Nothing more, nothing less.
Not an adventurer?
Hmm I guess not anymore.
I didnt have it on hand, but if I searched the [Single Bank], I might be able to find my adventurers guild ID from back then. However, there was no way I could use my powers in the middle of a crowded street, and even if I managed to find the ID, there was no guarantee it would still be valid.
Additionally, there was always the possibility that my registration might still be recorded in the adventurers guild. If for some reason this conversation led to an inquiry, and my answers didnt match the guilds records, it could lead to unnecessary complications. For now, I had no choice but to avoid giving a direct response.
But that was my concern. A normalor rather, a decentperson wouldnt try to obscure their identity like this. And that was precisely why the woman, with a suspicious look in her eyes, watched me carefully as her hand slowly moved toward the staff hanging at her waist.
Youre shady. Are you a wanted criminal or something?
Of course not. Unlike someone demanding servitude or ten thousand gold coins from a child over a bump, Ive never lived a shameful life.
Youve got guts. Fine, Ill buy that fight youre picking, and Ill
What are you doing this time, Rouge?
At that moment, an all-too-familiar voice cut through the rising tension. As the crowd began to gather, the source of the voice stepped forward.
Alexis?!
Both the red-haired womanRougeand I exclaimed his name in unison.
Standing there before us was the companion I thought Id never meet again.
