The next day after Renya party send off Prince Gerard’s convoy.
Renya party splits the work necessary for them to prepare for their journey so they can depart from Rugartia continent.
Hlidskjalf food storage condition is still worrying so they need to plan their course first in order to easily procure foodstuff in the en-route to their destination.
Then again, if they start to cultivate their own foodstuff like vegetable and fruit, they can live a self sufficient lifestyle like a farmer. They don’t have that kind of intention for the time being though.
They split up and go around the market to do shopping while also saying their goodbye to their acquaintances in the capital. They also pay visit to people that had given good treatment to them in work and especially not forgetting asking for an extra service when they buy something from the merchant they know.
If you work with good intent and respect toward the locals, they will definitely respect you back. Renya thinks that this kind of common sense is also applied in this world as well. He can’t help but feeling warm inside from that thought.
The shop that Renya visit the last is the butcher shop that deals with raw meat.
The owner of this butcher shop is a woman with a large physique and a hearty personality that would make people wanting to call her ‘mistress’ naturally. Renya had done job to help this shop stock up meat quite a few times before. The mistress even praises Renya for his excellent skill in dissembling the meat so she often request Renya to do such job for her. But of course, it was not actually Renya who do the dissembling, it was dissembling plant inside Hlidskjalf that done so for him.
She asks him why he bought so much food stuff at once so Renya just tell them that because the job that he accepted had finally over, he planned to continue his journey and leave the continent.
“Is that so? The meat that you provide was great, such a pity. Why don’t you just buy a house and settle here in the capital?”
“I still want to travel around the world to see many things yet. I’m still such a small guy inside that I have yet to be satisfied to settle anywhere”
“Ahahaha, you have already bring along such gorgeous flower garden with you and still feel insatiable by it? Well indeed if you are a guy like you must still be raving for more”
The shopkeeper lady laughs heartily at that. She seems to like Renya’s answer. He is indeed still young. He should go brave the world and make sure where his limit is.
“Then here some service for you. Think of it as a farewell gift from this auntie. I really appreciate your help”
“Oo~, you’re welcome. And also thanks”
“It’s nothing really. I won’t ask where you are going but you better not end up kicking the bucket somewhere out there you hear!”
“Of course, I won’t easily die like that”
After exchanging such nonsensical talk, Renya left the butcher shop.
He brings two big leather sacks that is tied by a rope walking back to the inn where his companions await.
The Capital City - Rugartia.
He had stayed here longer than he had expected and now, he thinks that it is already a good time to go. He has some reasons for it.
First, even if he says longer in Eribeiris continent, there already no more dungeons or ruins that tickle his interest.
This world is not a game. So of course in any known dungeon and ruins that is already touched by the hands of human, finding treasure chests conveniently around the dungeon entrance is something impossible to happen. If anyone had explored the dungeon then it means that any precious things should have already been swiped clean.
The next reason is that the monster and magic beast around here are already too weak and won’t be a worthy opponent any longer for Renya and his party members. The only useful thing from them is that their body parts can be harvested for money but that’s not a reason enough for them to stay in this continent.
The most profitable work in this continent is only the distress call for help from many guild within the continent because they would need a lot more hand to work because of the confusion from the process of unifying the kingdom but Renya decide to let the native people handle it on their own. So with that, Renya concluded that there are no more reasons for them to keep staying here.
Because they possess Hlidskjalf now, they can just go anywhere they want but it would be a trouble if anyone become suspicious of them if they suddenly appears in some unexpected places. That’s why after they discuss about it among themselves, they decided to go to somewhere this continent charted shipping route. And their choice that they think the safest is the most influential continent around Eribeiris that is located far north from here.
Renya still don’t know any detail about that place but seems like there are no good enough reason to reject the idea so he also approves of it. Well then, what kind of encounter that they will meet there? As Renya is daydreaming about what will happen next, he hears a trotting voice that approaching him from the back so he look back at the source.
“Oh, is that you Elvira?”
“Yes, it is me. But Renya-sama, how can you tell that it was me?”
“Hahaha, of course I naturally can differentiate between the four girls that follow me. Why ask?”
“Oh my, as expected of Renya-sama. I have finished with my part of work so do you mind my company?”
“You know that I definitely won’t reject your request so you finish your part hastily right? Dear me, what should I do with you, Elvira. You are just too good in asking for favors”
“That’s mean…… But it was indeed the fact”
“Why? I am complimenting you, you know~?”
“To ‘praise’ me in such way in the middle of the main street… I really think that Renya-sama is indeed a meanny……”
“But don’t you like it this way?”
“…… I don’t know what you are talking about”
Even if she acts like that, Elvira still comes close to him and hugs his left arm tenderly. In her left hand is big leather sack. While Renya’s two leather sacks are tied by ropes so he also can bring both of the sack with only his right arm with no problem.
At that moment, instantly from a part of the surrounding people, a gaze filled with jealousy and envy shoot directly toward Renya from all directions.
This guy really doesn’t know the world self-restraint at all. Even in the capital’s busy road, he still flirts around like it was natural for him. Because of this, his popularity amongst the capital’s male citizen is extremely bad.
What did he really do to make the male citizen this angry?
Well he just did some window shopping date with Floria.
Or forcing Brenda who had become dere in front of him to date in a coffee shop.
Or having a drinking date with Elvira who starts to get more aggressive with her approach in a bar.
Or going to a tool shop date with Therese who are pretty popular along one part of the ‘gentleman’.
In the worse time, he would have flowers on both of his hands. Moreover each time the people see him, the girls he have in his hands already changed from the one he had before. With his plain look, he boldly flirts around with super-gorgeous class pretty girls. The guy that everyone thought to be the same commoner like them is able to do such miraculous thing. Of course everyone man would get jealous.
“To get sandwiched in such gigantic boobies while walking around like that…… Go die motherfucker!”
“Just having one from those beautiful girls is already enviable, yet he has 4 of them. It is just not fair”
“and showing off their sweet time without restraint like this…… go get eaten by monster! The guy only!”
“Therese-tan~ Haa~ Haa~” (the usual perverted way when breathing heavily)
The opinion of the city male population is more or less like this.
By the way that last guy, Renya will personally make him get some trouble with money and other things for a while, a simple-unflashy kind of divine punishment. But no matter how one think of it, this problem begin with Renya after all so Brenda might rebuke him that this divine punishment is a misappropriate usage if divine power for self interest if she knows about it.
[Whoever looks at Therese with lustful eyes beside me myself is a sinner. Therefore I will pass judgment with the authority given to me as the war god]
Is how Renya pass his judgment in a very haughty manner while being pleased with himself.
Well those guys stress would end today anyway.
After Renya and his party left the city, the capital male citizen gather together in a certain bar to celebrate his departure but that would not be included in this story and is not even related whatsoever.
