Other World Assassin Life of a Man who was a Shut-in

Episode 70: To Stone Forest

… in the morning, huh?

Hmm, apparently you wanted to fall asleep yesterday while you were thinking a lot about it. Well, you got a good night's sleep, so no problem.

Well, suppose it's time to wake up.

I get out of bed, stretch lightly, as usual, okay, no particular abnormality in my body. Excellent as usual. Okay, next thing you know,

"Okay, suppose I wear clothes? I can't have Sally with the same eyes I had yesterday."

Honestly, Sally was so cute looking at my body and shy. But it's just because Sally's pathetic to see the same thing over and over again. Let's get dressed early today.

"All right, now we're ready."

All right, Sally, you can come any time you want! Yeah, I think I can really hear the door slamming.

Yuma, it's time for breakfast.

Sally just came to wake me up. But that's amazing, Sally. Yesterday is a good day. Almost comes just in time after I woke up. I wonder what it is, does Sally even have special skills? Well, isn't that so?

Well, open the door for now,

"Morning, Sally."

Yes. When I greeted Sally in the morning,

"Ah, yes, good morning, Mr. Yuma. It's time for breakfast, so come to the dining room when you're ready. Now if you'll excuse me."

Saying so, Sally went back upstairs.

But why? She should be dressed properly today, but Sally looked at my upper body and she felt a little disappointed. Well, maybe it's my fault.

"Well, okay. Let's just say we're going for breakfast."

Then I leave the room and walk to the first floor.

Hmm, it's pretty crowded. I thought so. When I was looking for an empty seat, my usual voice said,

"Hey Yuma! This way."

There was the usual iggle.

Looks like you took a seat for me. Thanks every time, I sit down in the front seat of the iggle.

"Morning Igle. But isn't it strangely crowded today? It's still early in the morning."

"Maybe we're all going to a demon extermination operation in the Ston Forest. We're all going to split the money for the demon material we defeated. It's going to be good money for you. Well, you don't get the skipper."

"Oh, I see. Speaking of which, Igl, it's an extermination operation in that Stone Forest, can I come with you today? I haven't had time to finish the Gold Forest thing yesterday."

When I said that to Iggle, Iggle was a little excited.

"Oh! Yuma's coming for you! Isn't that what you decided to do? If you'd come, you'd have a hundred manpower. But don't worry, I think you could make more money by yourself somewhere else. It's a mountain split."

"Fine, I'm not going for gold in particular. If I tell you, it's just a matter of time."

"Right! Then we'll go to the guild together after breakfast."

"Yeah, okay."

Then me and Igle had breakfast and left Ginia for the guild. But if you think about it, it's rare to go to the guild with someone. I was always alone when I went to the guild. While I'm thinking about it, I get to the guild and go in while I open the door. Then,

"A, isn't that Aniki! What's wrong with you today!? Aniki was rumored to be in the Gold Forest."

Shortly after entering the guild, Malpig seemed to have spotted me and stopped nearby. Hmm, I think you just got a little attached to this face of Malpig because you heard about the igle yesterday. Well, put that away.

"Yeah, actually, the Gold Forest thing ended yesterday. I'm going to go to Ston Forest with you guys today."

When I say so,

"Ho, is that true, Aniki! If Aniki would follow me, wouldn't you have nothing to be afraid of!

And even the adventurers around him made a scene,

He said, "Hey, the neck hunt's coming with us to Stone Forest."

"Seriously, aren't you going to take it to hunt all the demons around your neck?

"No, all demons are mountain divided anyway. Instead, it's easier if the neck hunt keeps knocking me down."

"Besides, you mean you can see the neck hunting battle right in front of you! That's all I'm getting excited about!

Hmm, well, they all seem favorable when it comes to me following them. Well, even if I knock it down, it'll be a mountain split anyway, so be it.

And while I was thinking about it, through the back door,

"What's all this noise? Eh! Be quiet for a second...... isn't that Yuma!

It's Mr. Glenn, you're as healthy as ever.

"Hi, Mr. Glenn. Actually, I'm free after the Gold Forest thing, so I thought I'd keep up with the extermination operation at Ston Forest."

"No! If you're coming, it's going to be over today! But is that okay with you? All the material will be split into mountains?

"Yeah, I don't mind."

"I see. Then you're welcome. Look, it's an extermination request."

Saying so, Mr. Glenn gives me a piece of paper.

"You didn't participate yesterday, so I'll explain it to you, but don't eliminate the request because it will prove that you participated in the extermination operation. If we don't get rid of him, we won't get paid for the monster."

Yeah, I see.

"Then let's just say we're going fast! The rendezvous point is near the same Ston Forest entrance as yesterday! I'll leave the late ones behind, so be prepared. All right, let's go. Oh!

"" "" Whoa, whoa, whoa!!

The adventurer who was in the guild to signal it went for Ston Forest and left the guild one after the other. Now, let's go, shall we? And me, Igle and Malpig came to the gate. Then Igle,

"Ha, but I don't know if we're going to Ston Forest again. It'll take me an hour to get close enough. I wish there was an easier and faster way."

Malpigs there, too,

"That's right, well, let's just go easy. Hey Aniki?"

Hmm, is that right? So Igle wants to get to Ston Forest quickly. Then there is a good way.

"Hey Igl, Malpig. I have a good idea. Hopefully, we can get to Ston Forest in just a few minutes. Besides, you guys are barely tired."

Igle and Malpig, who heard that,

"Seriously! If you can do that, tell me as soon as possible. So? What kind of means is that?

"…… Aniki, no way"

Hmm, apparently Malpig noticed.

Well, you've already experienced Malpig.

"Right. Well, it's easy. I'll take care of you guys."

That being said, I take the iggle with one arm and the malpig with the other.

"You just have to run at full speed to Ston Forest! Let's go!"

And I start running at full speed!

I also feel that Igle and Malpig were making noise in the first few decades, but it also quickly subsided and became quiet. Hmm, looks like you both figured it out.

For the next few minutes, I kept running as hard as I could,

"Okay, here we are. Malpig, Igl, that's enough."

Even if I speak like that, I don't hear back from Malpig and Igl. Oh, come on, maybe you're falling asleep too comfortable. I think so. I just rambled the two of them to the ground a little bit. Then,

"…… that, Aniki"

Oh, Malpig woke up first.

And soon afterwards,

"That… where am I, I should have been in Phlox…"

All right, Igle woke up safe, too.

"Hey both of you, good morning. We've arrived safely in Stone Forest. That was fast, wasn't it?

When I say that, you two look at me like I'm a jerk.

Then,

"Hey Yuma, it was really so fast, but next time you get a similar opportunity, it would help if you slowed it down a bit. Please……"

"Aniki, do me a favor………."

Hmm, I think I've just flown a little too far.

I don't have a choice, let's try to get home about half as fast as this.
