Shadow Ruler - Chapter 3.5

About an hour later, we ran into the gatekeeper.

It seemed to be our turn.

But Anne-san was holding me and loving me, and Lily-san was petting me from the side.

“Certificate, please.”

“Aiyo.”

“I checked… But where’s the little girl over there?”

“She was surrounded by a pack of tourmadogs and tourmawolves on her way back from a job, so I rescued her and brought her here.”

“Wow – no luck – so what’s the certificate?”

“Well, as you can see.”

“Then I’ll need two silver coins.”

“Is that right?”

“Is this good?” “Confirmed. This is the temporary certificate. If you go to the guild and get your guild card made, you won’t get reported. It will come directly from the guild.

“Okay. Welcome to the town of Katakuri.”

The gatekeeper opened the big gate for us and we went inside.

I was told about Carna and Shasti, of course, but they both appealed to me that they missed me, and I easily got the OK.

But when I entered the town, they told me to go straight to the guild and make a card.

The certificate is called a guild card, and it’s a useful card that tells you who you are, what you can do, which things you are not good at, and so on.

He said that without a card that shows who you are and where you are from, you will have a lot of trouble in town, and that it would be better to make one as soon as possible.

The town was filled with more people than I have ever seen before.

Everyone seemed to be having a good time.

The shopkeepers were full of energy, selling all kinds of things.

The whole town was full of energy. I thought, “That’s what I mean when I say the town is full of energy.

There are all kinds of things lined up, all kinds of smells.

There are all kinds of sounds.

The scene that I had heard only slightly from behind the walls of that room until now is right in front of me.

I see.

A town like this is full of firsts, full of fun.

But I have to be patient.

I can’t be selfish, right?

It would cause trouble.

… But why am I being carried by Anne-san in the town?

Carna says I need to walk a little to keep my strength up.

“Freesia, if you walk around town now, you’ll be swallowed up by the crowds, so I’m carrying you.”

She said that if I walk now, I’ll get tired and maybe even hurt.

I’ll be patient.

But Lily-san seems to have a harder time putting up with it than I do.

“Oh, the hair ornaments in that store – they would definitely look good on Freesia – ah! There are so many clothes in that store, I’m sure there’s something good for Freesia-chan! Aaah!”

I don’t know what’s going on, but it seems she’s preoccupied with me.

“Huh–there’s someone less docile than a little girl–“

“I’m not saying that, but even though she’s a little girl, she has the self-control of an adult. I think she’s going to be a very good girl in the future.”

“Indeed. Carna and Shasti are raising her well, and that’s an achievement.”

“Please keep up the good work, Shasti-san.”

“Nyau.”

Shasti meows like she’s in charge.

“By the way, did Zell ever beat Shasti-san’s tail?”

He didn’t now, but when he was out of town, Zell-san would lightly fight Shasti’s tail in his spare time.

“Well, I challenged him lightly with my fists without weapons, but he was so fast. And his movements are exquisite, so there’s really no way to win. It’s really half-assed.”

“Nyan.”

Shasti puffed out her chest as if it was only natural.

“Freesia’s in danger if we don’t hold our ground. We’re desperate, aren’t we?”

“Carna… I’m sure. If you want to have a mock battle or something like that, I’m all yours.

“Oh please, I need to be able to fight while protecting Freesia… I’ll never make the same mistake I did that time again…! !!!!”

I’m not going to let that happen again…!

“…oh… Oh!

By the way, many demons attacked us on the way to this town.

Dancing Wood

A wooden demon that can move and dance.

Sometimes it is not a tree but a plant, but it is a wood.

In fact, they love to dance, but their fighting style is to hide in the trees and attack when they see an opening, which seems to cause them a lot of stress.

On rare occasions, they dance instead of hiding.

Parts acquired: Magic stone, wood filled with magic power in rare cases.
