Volume 11, Chapter 3: Trying Out Going to Caliture City - Part 2
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The time they found the highway was when they had already given up and discussed about if they should just sleep outdoors. It had completely turned to night.
The next day, they walked since morning, and by the evening──
Diablo’s group finally arrived at the town of the Races.
The sky had already been dyed a madder red.
「Hoorayー, it’s the townー!!」
Diablo called out to Shera, who had started running towards it, with a 「Don’t fall down」.
Rem had a nervous look.
「……Caliture.」
Having tall ramparts, the appearance of it was similar to Faltra City.
There were also watch towers that had pointed roofs.
「If I recall correctly, Caliture City should also have a demonic-warding barrier, right?」
「……Yes.」
This region shouldn’t have any Demonic Beings, but since it was the South’s greatest base, it was given complete preparations.
Unlike the Demonic Beings that possessed clear thoughts and acted accordingly, Demonic Beasts would appear regardless of the location and were akin to natural disasters. A barrier to defend against their aggression was necessary.
With it being the evening, the city gate was bustling with people like farmers who were returning from their farmwork and merchants and travelers who were rushing in.
Thanks to that, Diablo’s group was able to smoothly enter the gate without anyone questioning his horns.
A guard raised their voice.
「Anyone passing through should hurry upー!! The gate closes at the same time as the sunsetー!!」
It seems that that was how they operated.
「It’s much stricter than Faltra City, isn’t it?」
「……It shouldn’t have been like that in the past. Right now, I suppose it means they’re in the middle of war.」
「Ahh, I see.」
If Diablo had done nothing, this town would have been attacked by the Kobolds. It was probably only natural that they would be vigilant of night attacks and close the gates.
Shera sweetly laughed.
「Ehehe! It’s all thanks to Diablo, isn’t it!」
「Mu?」
「I mean, it was about to turn into war, right!?」
「Well……I suppose so.」
After being told that, he felt like he proved to be pretty useful.
However, it wasn’t done yet.
Diablo passed through the city gate, and surveyed the town.
「I need to keep my promise with them.」
He would need to get approval from Caliture’s Feudal Lord. Or, depending on the situation, from the Lifelia King──Approval to let the Kobolds live in this land.
Rem turned serious eyes towards him.
「……If it’s you, Diablo, I’m sure it’s possible.」
The pressure placed on him was incredible.
「N, now then, where is the Feudal Lord’s house? Do we just go down that main street?」
When it came to the towns of this other world, all of them had many more buildings compared to the MMORPG Cross Reverie, had streets that were complex, and he couldn’t read any of the notices, signboards, or letters.
In the game, there were only the buildings necessary to the Player, but that was only natural since the number of people walking down the road was overwhelmingly smaller though……
Rem shook her head sideways.
「……The main street that is close to the ramparts only continues to the warehouses of the wealthy merchants and is a deadend. Even with the central main street, there’s only the shopping district. Well, there are inns there as well though.」
「Mumu?」
「……We’re in Caliture City’s northern district, and the path going to the central district where the Feudal Lord’s house is, is that small path next to that large building over there.」
Shera smiled.
「That’s so weirdー」
「……However, when going through there, on top of having a lot of barkers, since it would be a detour that would have to go through the western district, the locals use the underground passage.」
「An underground passageー!?」
At the place Rem pointed to, there was something that looked like the entrance to a subway.
People who seemed to be locals that didn’t have much luggage with them were going in and out of it.
「……If you’re not used to it, it might be a bit hard to understand.」
「It isn’t just a bit! That’s a dungeon, you know!?」
This was something that he agreed with Shera on.
Rem shrugged her shoulders.
「It can’t be helped. Since Caliture City is a town on a land where three slopes meet together, it’s structured so that you would come out to the second level of the central district if you go down the subterranean tunnel.」
──What is up with that complexity. What, are we in front of Osaka station?
「Well, I will leave the guidance to you. Let us go to the Feudal Lord’s house before it gets dark……」
When they were about to head over, some young Pantherian men approached.
There were six of them.
The one at the lead with a mohican head talked to them.
「Yaa, Onii-chan. Could it be, are ya a slave trader?」
Their gazes were focused on Rem and Shera’s chokers.
──It’s been a while since I’ve met with troublesome guys like this.
Rem ignored them and turned away.
「……We don’t need to bother with them. Let’s go.」
「OI!! Hold it!」
The one that the mohican extended his hand to was surprisingly Shera. He grabbed her wrist roughly.
「Ouch!?」
「You!!」
Instantly, Diablo extended his hand with the intent of pushing the guy away but……
*Dofuh!* It turned into the shape of him striking the heel of his palm into the Pantherian’s chest, and that had flashily blown the guy away.
──Oh craaap! I put too much power into it.
The mohican Pantherian rolled about ten meters through the plaza in front of the city gates.
The remaining five changed their expressions.
They revealed their anger.
「Bastard!」「You’ve done it now, haven’t ya!?」「We’ll murder you, got it!?」
Going “Haa～”, Rem breathed a deep sigh, and covered her eyes with one hand.
It had turned into something troublesome within five minutes of entering the town.
He supposed that he would have sighed too.
However, nothing can be done about what’s already happened──Diablo put Shera behind him and covered her.
「Ku ku ku……I am not some slave trader, I am a Demon King that has come from another world! Anyone who wishes to die, should come at me!」
It seemed that there was not much meaning in overawing those guys who had blood rushing to their heads.
Going “Oraah!”, the Pantherian men headed towards him.
Despite being thugs, their levels were surprisingly on the high side and all of them were about level 40. They weren’t weak, but not being weak was all they were.
The current Diablo was greater than level 100 even as a Warrior. He had surpassed the limits of the Races.
Even if a group of level 40s attacked him, they wouldn’t be a match for him.
With one hand, he caught and averted a punch that the second person threw at him, and just as that opponent had his balance broken, he threw his fist at his face.
He then threw the elbow of his drawn back arm into the third person’s chin, then struck a kick into the stomach of the fourth person who tried to go around behind him.
When compared to Master Swordsman Sasala and the Great Demon King Modinalaam, it was as if they were in slow motion.The real trouble for him was in holding back.
In about five seconds, there were five people collapsed on the ground.
The remaining one staggeringly backed away.
「S, so strong……!?」
「You all are just too weak. I shall leave you all with just your lives. It would be best if you all stopped your behavior of quarrelling with travellers on the street. Or could it be, would you like to see me get serious?」
「HIIiiii!? I’m sorry!」
While raising a scream, that guy left his companions and ran away.
What a cold thing to do.
Diablo shrugged his shoulders.
「Good grief……」
「Waーn, thank you! I was scared, Diabloー!!」
Once again, Shera was deeply emotional and jumped at him.
──I’m probably sure that you could have won against them alone, you know? You are a level 80 Archer after all. You’re also fortified with the equipment that Demon King Krebskrum had Enchanted after all.
*Gui!* His mantle was pulled by Rem.
「We’re running!」
「Eh?」
Suddenly looking around──noticing the uproar, the gatekeepers were rushing over.
He didn’t think that he did anything wrong, but it seemed like their meeting with the Feudal Lord would be delayed if they were to receive an investigation.
Doing as Rem said, he decided to run away.
While carrying Shera in his arms, they entered the underground passage.
After descending the stairs, it suddenly branched into three directions.
「This way!」
「It seriously is a maze, isn’t it.」
As if trying to slip into the crowd of people, Diablo’s group ran deep into the passage.
