Chapter 312 – Teleportation Magic Stone

On Sunday, the next day, the four of us split up and searched the forest from where we left off yesterday.

However, this forest was quite vast and we weren’t able to find it so far.

We are probably searching in the wrong direction.

A short time later, I saw Aya waving a handkerchief in the [Tracking Beacon]’s video.
I promptly rush to where Aya is with [Teleportation].

「Aya, what happened?」
「Onii-chan, look.」

Around Aya, there were nearly ten dead orcs.
Somehow, it feels like it’s been a while since I last saw an orc.

「These guys, did you kill them, Aya?」
「No, that’s not it. They were already dead when I got here.」

It’s not clear, but it seems there’s something that killed the ten orcs, huh.

「Since it seems somewhat dangerous, let’s regroup. Let’s go meet Elena and Hilda.」
「Un.」

I took Aya’s hand and meet the two.

◊♦◊♦◊♦◊♦◊

「Seiji-sama, are we going to move together now?」
「Yeah, it’s for safety. The monsters are becoming strong as we advance towards the north.」
「Alright.」

「Well then, everyone, depart!」

That is to say, in order to move together, the need to adjust to the slowest person arises.

Among the four of us, the slowest is Hilda, but……

Hilda’s speed is faster than I thought.
Why’s that?

When I appraised Hilda, the level of her [Body Reinforcement] magic rose from 2 to 3.
Perhaps, the level of [Body Reinforcement] rose thanks to her running about in the forest the last few days.

And Hilda, in order to catch up to us, doesn’t neglect to make an effort and makes full use of all her magics.

We pushed the search in forest forward at a moderate speed.

◊♦◊♦◊♦◊♦◊

While pushing the search forward for a while,

「Everyone, stop!」
「What’s wrong, onii-chan? Is there something up ahead?」
「Yeah.」

When we stealthily approached towards where the reaction is, there were two monsters of different type fighting.

It was a [normal orc] and a [black orc].

Somehow or other, it seems to be a situation where the black orc attacked the base of the normal orc.

「Onii-chan, what should we do? Should we attack them?」
「The search will fall behind schedule, but……they may also attack a person somewhere if left alone. Let’s attack them.」

The white and black orcs, receiving a surprise attack from the side while fighting, were quickly annihilated as easy as twisting a baby’s hand.

「Eh? Were the orcs so weak like this?」
「We became strong since our level rose considerably with the capture of the Tower of Sunrise~.」

While putting the defeated orcs into the inventory, we headed towards the north once more.

「Hmmm, there are only black orcs in this area.」

We encountered black orcs many times as we advance towards the north.

By sun set, nearly 100 black orcs were defeated, but our objective, the Devil race’s town, wasn’t found.

The black orcs wandering around this area look calm, the Devil race’s town is probably somewhere else.

[Tracking Beacons] were sent out to search in the forest radially in order to expand the search area and we decided to go home.

「Onii-chan, can I try to use the [Teleporation Magic Stone] to go home?」
「Okay, try it.」

Unexpectedly, it’s going to be my first time seeing other people use [Teleportation].

「Onii-chan, I’m going!」

Aya grasped the [Teleportation Magic Stone] tightly and poured Magic Power into it.

……

「Eh? I didn’t get transferred?」
「Why?」
「Onii-chan, this is a defective product!」

What’s wrong?
Why didn’t she get transferred?

「Elena, can you try and test it?」
「Yes!」

When Elena grasped the [Teleportation Magic Stone] tightly and poured Magic Power into it……

Whoosh!

Along with the sound of the wind, Elena disappeared.

When I checked the [Tracking Beacon]’s video, Elena had returned home properly.

「It seemed Elena could use it properly. Next, you try it, Hilda.」
「Yes.」

Whoosh!

Hilda could use it, too.

However-!
When I checked the [Tracking Beacon]’s video, Hilda was sitting down on the spot where she had been teleported to at home.

「Hilda’s situation is strange. Aya, let’s go home immediately.」
「Un.」

When I took Aya and returned home, Elena was nursing Hilda, who had sat down.

「Hilda, what’s wrong!?」
「I-, It seems I’ve used a lot of magic power.」

What!?
When I used [Appraisal] on Hilda――

Hilda’s MP had been almost depleted.

「Hilda, eat a candy quickly.」
「Y-, Yes.」

Hilda ate a candy and recovered her MP; her physical condition somehow returned to normal.

「Hey, onii-chan, why did this happen?」
「It seems the [Teleportation Magic Stone] uses a considerable amount of MP.」

「Considerable amount, you say, how much?」
「I think it’s around 3, 000. Since Hilda’s MP is a little bit over 3, 000, she can barely use it once and since Elena has 7, 000 MP, she can use it twice.」

「Then, how about me, how much is my MP again?」
「Aya’s MP is around 2, 500.」

「I can’t use it!?」

After that, as a result of doing various things and experiments――

We found out that the transfer across worlds consumes 3, 000 MP while in the case of the transfer within a world, 1, 000 MP is consumed.

In addition, we also found out that the transfer across worlds can only be used once a day just like mine previously.

「Annoying! How can I be the only one who can’t use it!」

Aya was stamping her feet in frustration.

「You’ll be able to use it if you’re in Earth. Besides, isn’t 2, 500 MP also a lot more than an ordinary person’s?」

「I also want to go back and forth between Earth and the other world! Onii-chan, how can I increase my MP?」
「It will increase when the level of your magic increases.」

「How can I increase the level of my magic?」
「By studying.」

「T-, That~.」
