Chapter 13 : The First Mission of the Darkness God Corps

Word Count : 4437 words

Translator : Lunate87, TLC : Baka367, Editor : champion9124

The next morning ~~

Yuusuke's brand new lifestyle will begin from this point in his room, to indulge in laziness.
Travelling on the carriage the previous day, from dawn till dusk, had left him exhausted, and subsequently dealing with the trouble that happened within the palace didn't help either. Although he headed to bed early, due to not being accustomed to the environment, he couldn't sleep properly. When he finally slipped into his dreamland early in the morning, a heartless little demon kicked and spewed fire as she barged into his room.

"Yuusuke, It's time to wake up! This isn't the time for you to stay in bed, Wake up immediately!"(Violet)
".......Let---me---sleep---please--....."(Yuusuke)
"This is useless."(Violet)
"ummm......."(Yuusuke)

Chapter 12 : Volance palace

Word count : 2514


Translator : Lunate87, Editor : champion9124, Baka367

Unlike Zeshald or the god corps, he did not possess the water arts necessary to restore the fatigue of the horses, thus, resulting in several breaks along the way. By the time he arrived to the city, it was already dusk.


"I didn't expect it to take so long when traveling normally....."(Yuusuke)


Yet again, Yuusuke began to feel the difference in power that comes with the absence of a particular divine arts. He headed towards the nearby lookout stable, ran by the [artless], to park his carriage, and walked towards the soldier's guardroom at the gate square where the observation tower stood. From there, it was possible to contact the people of the palace.


"Oh, it's you. I have heard about you from the higher ups."(Soldier)

Chapter 11 : Pave the way

Translator : Baka367 , TLC : Lunate87 , Editor : champion9124

This is the first collabration chapter done by baka367. Hope you guys enjoy it.

~~

A few days after the incident, the villagers warmly celebrated the safe return of the two youths. After this incident Sun has grown stronger (NOTE: [after the rain falls, the ground hardens] was the proverb used in the original sentence) and started being more open around Yuusuke. Reifold also has not appeared before him since that time at the riverside, so the young man was busy with his life in the peaceful village.

Having slept in late, Yuusuke entered the living room as soon as he washed his face in a water bowl, which was placed in his bedroom, to wake himself up. 

“Why was it there?”
“Oh, you are finally awake. You are such a sleepyhead, Yuusuke.”
 “Ah, good morning Mr. Yuusuke. Shall I serve you breakfast?”

For some reason Violet was sitting at the breakfast table. Krielov’s figure could also be seen near the front door.

The next morning, once Yusuke and his group have finished their breakfast, they headed down to the 1st floor, the entrance of the palace to board the god corps carriage. Sun was currently wearing a city clothes which I got for her as a souvenir.

"Oi! Wait a minute Yusuke"(Violet)
"My Princess running like that is obscene!"(Krielov)

The soldiers who were lazily preparing for the trip, immediately started scuffling around as soon as they saw Violet who ran down happily with a basket, while Krielov was following behind nagging at her.

"The thing that you have shown to me last night could you do it again!"
"Pfft"(Yusuke)

Chapter 10 : The ending of a 2D1N strife (Part 1)

Sorry for the wait here's part 1. 

Word Counter : 1283

The policy of opening the observation tower to the public was decided, they had to consider the safety of the people and the risk of danger if too many people entering at once, thus guard soldiers are being stationed at the entrances at all times to manage the inflow and outflow of the people.

Normally, during the night the gate square would be like a ghost town, but tonight it's packed full of people who wants to ascend the observation tower. Without delay, merchants have begin to sell souvenirs which look like the model of the tower, and it is made by the recruited earth arts users.
At every rest floor, people could request for a restoration by the healing system of the water arts users for a small fee.

On the other hand, Yusuke and Sun who were semi-forcibly invited to Volance Palace were trying to calm down in the overly large and luxurious room.

Click here to view whole of chapter 9.

"Copy paste Copy paste.... stairs with handrails should be better....alright something like this"(Yusuke)

By concentrating on his consciousness on the customizing process a rough shape was form, the fine details were add on by trimming with his fingers. This was the answer derived by Yusuke from thinking what would Violet be delighted from.

"Yusuke seem to be doing the same thing like when he cleaned up the square a little while ago, what is the thing that he is doing?"(Violet)
"Well....., I also do not know what Yusuke's Divine arts do....."(Sun)

Whenever he uses his divine arts, his fingers will always move around like this, as Sun explained. Although she had kept silent about things she had seen, like changing the taste of food, changing the design of the table and chairs, transforming old clothes and shoes to brand new which all are phenomenons.

"Well, final check ..... doesn't seem to have a problem, I wonder is this okay?"(Yusuke)

Wondering if there was any problems withe the customization date that was put together, Yusuke used it's preview function to perform the various checks, like "Falling" on its own weight aka "Collapsing", or the danger of "Sinking", thus confirming that there was no problem he walked towards the middle of the square while calling the 2 girls to join him.

Chapter 9 : The gate's square of the commoner district (part 2)


Yusuke begin to restore the gate square back to it's original state without the walls and pits, while protecting Sun who was standing behind him, the commotion this time was due to Violet's inquiry. The attendant who was nearby when directly to the royal princess to seek an explanation as the soldiers were all murmuring at the act.

The flame corps soldiers came falling in to report and were about to prostrate in front of Violet to ask for forgiveness, while Violet showed a gesture and said,"It's all good, no need to".

"He really is a completely rude man, even towards a royalty he dares to make crocodile tears."(Violet)
"Respect is something that is to be embrace naturally."(Yusuke)

Violet laugh at Yusuke's words of wisdom, after which he begin to explain the situation of the accusation from that arrested burnt man from earlier.

Chapter 9 : The gate's square of the commoner district (Part 1)

"Sun, are you okay?"(Yusuke)
"....yes"(Sun)

The unpleasant smell that came from the burnt human was being blown out of the city by the wind art users, Yusuke who was currently being healed by the water art user using the healing system was anxious about Sun. As her clothes were all torn up something was needed to be done immediately, rhus a place to change clothes is needed.
In the original game specification the customization ability, while customizing equipped items, it will cause it to be unequipped.

Currently Sun is wearing a flame corps mantle over her torn clothes. It was Violet who put on the flame corps mantle onto Sun. Yusuke look back at Violet and thought 'surprising' she was a good person.
(TL notes: It's weird as the author place っぽいat the back, cause the word come out like person-ish)

Finally I am done with this long chapter, took me forever. Hope you guys enjoy it. On the side note I will be heading overseas for these few days. Don't worry I have schedule a few parts for the next few days already.

Click here to read the whole chapter.

Yusuke was brought in to the city's district gates,  seeing the group of shiny armor when he last came here he knew that they were the flame corps, he had found them as they were gathering near the gate. Looking over he thought 'It's that runaway arson princess again' as he saw the red hair twin tail while searching amongst them, he also saw the white hair.

"Sun!"(Yusuke)

Yusuke suddenly break into a run the surrounding soldiers who saw it deployed their defensive posture, but because the earlier group of god corps and the flame god corps are gathering around the gate house of the district gate, the soldiers who were left behind could cut some slack.

The artless girl was crouching down and not moving, the soldiers thought that it was okay to continue to question repeatedly, anyway  it was rude to intrude on Princess Violet who is doing all the questioning.

While waiting for a suitable time for the group to scatter on whim of the princess, suddenly, the black hair man who is wearing a shackles jumped out of the circle of soldiers, he who was in lazy mode became full of tension.

"Oh, so you came Yusuke"(Violet)
"Sun!"(Yusuke)

Hearing the answer from Violet's nonchalant voice, Yusuke begin to worry about Sun who was crouching there trembling. Violet became sullen when she was being ignored, because it was an emergency as Sun who was fine suddenly became weird, thus she kept her flame punishment for later.

"Sun are you alright?"(Yusuke)
".....noooo........noooo..............noo...."(Sun) ~trembling voice

Chapter 8 : Yusuke's Decision (part 2)

Yusuke being escorted with his hand shackled behind his back, was full of admiration to the god corps as their horse-drawn carriage was traveling twice the speed of when he came to the city with Zeshald without swaying, at same time he was examining the shackles with the customization menu.

When operating on the customization menu, he tried to focus and concentrate on his finger to lead the and adjust the parameter of customize create as result he noticed that it was possible.

'It seems that once I get use to it, it is possible to operate without seeing.'(Yusuke)

It seems that the shackles that were created by the divine arts users for the divine arts users doesn't seem to have a negative effect on the one who wears them, it is made of a very durable material that was created by using earth arts and flame arts, it was build in a way that it would not break with tempering.

'It seems similar to the crystals parameters.... to remove it completely I just have to lower the settings to the lowest and it shouldn't be a problem'(Yusuke)

Chapter 8 : Yusuke's Decision (Part 1)


Yusuke came flying back to the village, Bahana who was wandering around the entrance saw him and called out to him.

"Bahana!"(Yusuke)
"Ah Yusuke! There's big trouble, Sun is!"(Bahana)

Bahana who rushed over to appeal to Yusuke that,"Sun have been taken away by the god corps"
As the street of the village were still parked with the soldiers' carriage, after seeing the appearance of Yusuke a commotion begin with them. Yusuke entrusted his fishing gear to Bahana, as he walked towards the carriage of the god corps.

"Stop"(Soldier)

Click here to read the whole of chapter 7.

At the small flowing river within the forest which is nearby the Village of Rufk, Yusuke was there fishing using a rod, fishing line and a fly which he made by customization. Although big fishes could be found further down the river, it will take a day for a round trip, because he wanted to be near the fields so he aimed for the smaller fishes.

Before long Bahana tried to teach the methods of hunting,  but Yusuke as a modern person has a severe lack of strength.

"Inventions are to make life comfortable, what a thing to say"(Bahana)

Yusuke thought that rather than hunting down a prey that was running about in the forest, wouldn't it be more efficient to trap the prey. Using a sturdy transparent fishing line and a artificial bait with a high encounter rate setting, his fish basket is steadily filling up.

"I wonder if this is more than enough"(Yusuke)

As 10 fishes were caught, Yusuke begin to retire and pack up his fishing gears, as he was leaving he suddenly felt a human presence and look back.

"Hmmm, he certainly is a amateur."(Reifold)
"Hey, you"(Yusuke)

"Hey, Let go of me Krielov"(Violet)
"No my Princess, to leave the domains of the city is dangerous."(Krielov)

After hearing about the artless Village where Zeshald use to live, Violet was trying to get to the Village of Rufk, she was caught by Krielov as she was passing the gates of the commoner district. Krielov who was trying to bring her back to the palace, had to battle Violet as she was trying to sneak out of the city.

Krielov considered the chance that the news of him making use of the palace elite soldiers might leak, so he brought the patrol guards/soldiers as a form as escort to chase after her, but Princess Violet who was unhappy with the unanimous decision of the palace bureaucracy was determined to find the cause of why Zeshald defected, from here on where was she trying to go for an inspection.

"I am just going to take a quick look over at the artless Village! There won't be any danger."(Violet)
"The King have decreed not to be concerned with this matter, there is also no reason to visit the village where he once reside."(Krielov)

"Lies! Zeshald will never betray us!"(Violet)
"It is a fact. I can guess your feelings, but please calm down"(Krielov)

In one of the room on the upper floors of Volance Palace, the yelling of Violet and the calm reply from her attendant was being exchanged. She kicked over the chair and glared at her attendant to come over to her, as she had no outlet to vent her anger feeling irritated she recklessly attack him.

"Didn't you shun Zeshald! You must be smiling deep down somewhere inside your heart right?"(Violet)
"No, such a thing is"(Krielov)

As expected of a enrage full power god skill discharge, the fruits and flowers that were on the table were scattered across the floor, the curtains were all torn up, part of the wall was filled will fragments of tableware and traces of wine. The whole room was in a complete wreck.

"Dammed .....! WHY!"(Violet)
"Princess, please be careful with your words"(Krielov)

"YOU'RE NOISY! GET OUT!"(Violet)

Chapter 6 : A Fresh Beginning (part 3)

Click here to view the whole of chapter 6. Hiaz I didn't realize I was typing Zeshald name wrongly, so I have changed all the pages chapter to the correct naming.

The Next Day ~~

The sky was still dark in the village of Rufuku, as the villagers were all still sleeping, Zeshald got onto a carriage from Bull garden that was awaiting him on a road outside of the village. From here he will be leaving Fonclanc's territorial borders and entering Bull garden territories through the shortest route.

They boldly dive once into the city of  Sanc Adiet, as they transverse across the opposite side of the city towards the borders. The spy from bull garden who is currently travelling with Zeshald, had to make sure that Zeshald would not hand him over to the city guards/soldiers.

For the past few years there was a secret investigation about the discord between King Esvobus and Zeshald, which investigation reported that the discord had intensified, thus the order to recruit Zeshald came from the motherland(Bull garden) 4 days ago. As it was a cautious period they had to ascertain the location of contact due to the day before yesterday's turmoil that happened.

As soon as they saw a good opportunity they came over with the invitation, and it was a great success. Although the relationship of Princess Violet and Zeshald was something to be worried about, but in the end this personal preference selfish princess isn't involved with the political affairs. And also Zeshald doesn't seem interested in her.

"It will take about 3 days before we cross the border and arrive at paula. Until than it would be cramped."(Bull garden spy)

"It doesn't matter, I am accustom to sleeping on a horse-drawn carriage. Nevermind that, what about those dangerous guys who were lurking around the village were they cleared out?"(Zeshald)

"That village is my oasis."was what Zeshald said, as he had pointed out the presences of those lurking around the village.

".... As expected of the Former Imperial God Skill Instructor, to be able to notice the presences of the 'Wind Troupe' "(Bull Garden Spy)

"'Wind Troupe'....here we called it 'Wind Corps', to have these elites entered so deep inside. This country is without a doubt losing it's grip.(Zeshald)

As Zeshald spew out a sigh of disappointment, the spy companion returns a grinning smile.

------


Morning came, by the time I awake from my sleep, Zeshald was already not in the house. From today onwards I have to think about what I need to do, and decides on what my next step should be. While I was looking at the key that was handed over to me through the list on the customization menu, in order to solve the immediate problem I opened my mouth.

"Good morning, Sun"(Yusuke)
".... Good morning*"(Sun)
*(TL: ございます gozaimasu = a more polite form)

Awkward greetings were being exchanged across the table in the hallway. As Sun whose was appearance was showing anxiety and restlessness, I switched my feelings,"It will do us no good if I do not make the first move". I put away the key into my pocket and stood up, Sun was startled as her shoulders trembled.

"Should we begin the preparation for breakfast?"(Yusuke)
"Eh? Oh, yes I'm sorry!"(Sun)

Sun who was rather flustered stood up and headed outside with a water bucket to get water from the well. Seeing what just happened I shrug my shoulders, I headed towards the food shelves to get the meat and lala fruits for breakfast. I opened the customization menu and brought up the sweetness status of the lala fruit.

"Hi, Sun. Good morning."(Bahana)
"Ah, Good morning... ...Aunt Bahana"(Sun)
"Are you preparing breakfast now? You could have gotten the him to fetch the water."(Bahana)

Bahana urged that the heavy lifting should be done by guys, Sun who couldn't speak to him about it shook her head. As Zeshald who was the relief agent wasn't around, it has been tense since the morning exchange of greetings.

"My poor child"(Bahana)
"Fue...."(Sun)

Bahana lamented about what just happened and was worried about the future, so decided to be strength for these 2 people in place of Zeshald.
------

As the morning mist of the commoner district in Sanc Adiet begin to clear up, in the dinning halls of Volance Palace atop the noble district, cutting apart the most delicious part of these honey flavored fruits from a dessert and placing it into her mouth, Violet who was alone, complained to the chief butler.

"Will Zeshald be coming to the palace today?"(Violet)
"There seem to be various circumstances"(Chief butler)
" This is so boring, when will father stop his discord with Zeshald. Wouldn't it be better if they could just quickly reconciled."(Violet)
(TL: I wanted to put this sentence instead, "This is so boring, when will father stop being a dick to Zeshald.")

Even though after a unexpected reunification at the commoner district there was no sign of Zeshald coming over, she was hoping to hear all his stories of journeys he had during this long period. The attendant Krielov was currently doing his usual commenting of fault finding on the princess, thus the princess finds him not interesting even if they stay together. 

"Let's see, wasn't there another interesting guy. I remember he was called Yusuke"(Violet)

That rude black hair guy who was Zeshald's acquaintance. Because he grew up in a distant foreign land, I might be able to hear some unusual and rare stories.

"I should sent my ninjas to the commoner district to find him, this maybe a good idea."(Violet)
"My dear princess, do you know the king has temporary ban the use of the ninja squad?"(Krielov)
"Don't worry, don't worry. I will just act like a spoil child and sent a message to him 'Father, have you come to hate me?'"(Violet)

The princess giggles and begins her sinister laughter, the chief butler sighed as he thought, 'The king also have his troubles'

------

A few days later, Bull Garden made an official announcement to every countries about a personnel.

--  Fonclanc's Former Imperial God Skill Instructor Mr Zeshald will be greeted as our country's God Skill Instructor to cultivate the elites of our country --

Chapter 6 : A Fresh Beginning (Part 2)

The next morning, we begin to set off from the city just before dawn. Along the way, Zeshald kept to talking about things of this world. 

From the burdens of the soldiers who maintain security, to the area in which they are in charge of, how much authority are they allowed to exercise, how to deal and raise a case if trouble occur, and where to go to make an appeal, etc.

"Cultural exchange between the villages to learn from them is good, learning how to ride a horse is good, when you want to buy a horse head over to the city and -"(Zeshald)

The pace of teaching until now wasn't as comfortable, as if Zeshald was cramming all of the knowledge and forcing them down Yusuke's throat, although Yusuke felt uncomfortable, he knows that there must be some circumstances else Zeshald would not be so desperate as to force memorization.

"As I thought, it had to be something involving that green hair guy yesterday."(Yusuke)

And at that pace we arrived at the village, I(yusuke) was blasted with knowledge to make me dizzy.

"Welcome back, teacher.  ..... Yusuke-san, what happen to you?"(Sun)
"Argh .... my temple is pulsing"(Yusuke)
"hmmm, I think I have rushed too much"(Zeshald)

As Zeshald's carriage entered the village of Rufuku, the villagers all gathered to help unload the luggages. In the luggages were part of items that were entrusted to them for sales, the rest were daily necessities that had been requested to be bought.

"Teacher! Is there any shearing blades?"
"Love, it's in that luggage over there."(Zeshald)
"Is earring of shellfish being sold?"
"Unfortunately only one left unsold"(Zeshald)

Zeshald spend some time overlooking the clamorous and bustling villagers of Rufuku, after which he switch to a much lighter tone to talk about tomorrow's weather.

"By the way, I will be going on a long journey from tomorrow onwards, and temporarily could not return to everyone, be it treating of injuries or illness."(Zeshald)

All the villager who heard about it had a surprised look simultaneously, up until now he had traveled out to distant lands for research, as there were times when he had left the house empty for a long time, thus everyone regained their composure immediately.

As the villagers exchange their goodbyes with Zeshald, Sun was the only one with a confused look, "I didn't heard about it". Yusuke was kind of expecting that to happen as he have be calmly observing the chain of events.

"Well than, let's return home."(Zeshald)
"Alright"(Yusuke)
"Yes..."(Sun)

The villagers also returned to their own houses. After they placed the carriage at the back of the house and the brought the horse to the stables, the three of them entered the house through the back door.

"Teacher, what kind of things will you be doing?"(Sun)

As soon as they entered the house, Sun pressed on Zeshald for answers. Up until now whenever Zeshald goes on a journey, he would informed Sun beforehand. But this time the sudden proclamation of a long journey without temporarily coming back was too much.

"I'm sorry, a little complicated situation have occurred."(Zeshald)
".... .... Is it difficult to speak of it?"(Sun)

As Zeshald did a refusal to talk nod, Sun hang her head down in silence. Zeshald begin grooming Sun's white hair through combing by gently brushing it, while Yusuke begin to talk about future plans.

"During my time of absence, it would be good if Yusuke continue to stay in this house. Sun could you continue to take care of his daily needs."(Zeshald)

"eh.... ... me and Mr. Yusuke?(Sun)

That is to say 2 people alone living under one roof, meaning to live together. Sun briefly glanced towards Yusuke line of sight, while Yusuke did not glance back he was listening attentively to what Zeshald had to say.

"I hoping to entrust this village and Sun matter to Yusuke. But, you still do not have enough knowledge about this world."(Zeshald)
"Well yea..."(Yusuke)

While Yusuke nodded, he realized that Zeshald's pointing out remarks was just to get a positive reply. That is to say that Zeshald had no doubt understand Yusuke's character.

With proper cognizance and sincere thoughtfulness, giving the required information and knowledge to Yusuke, the direction that is need to go is being pointed at. From today onwards, we must carry on without the support of Zeshald.

"Broaden your insights, Yusuke" (Zeshald)

Zeshald said as he gave a key to a study in the back of the house to Yusuke, he wanted Yusuke to read and gain knowledge from the books that are there.

During that evening, the three of them sat on the table, the meal prepared was a little more sumptuous than usual, as they were celebrating a farewell dinner and praying for the safety of the journey for Zeshald.

Chapter 6 : A Fresh Beginning (Part 1)

"Is that made out of morph?" (customer)
"That's right" (yusuke / Zeshald)
"How much is it?" (customer)

The clothes tailored through Yusuke's customized ability was sold out, the clothes fabric was made from the fur of domestic animals reared in the village of Rufuku.

Having secured a good stall location on the main street, as their lineup of clothes and shoes were of quality it cooked up quite a bargain, and thus were selling like hot cakes. Zeshald begin to teach the way of the merchant to Yusuke, as they were taking a rest while summarizing the sales proceeds.

"That's most of the stuff sold. After this let's go get the daily necessities and begin the preparation to go home."(Zeshald)
"Okay"(Yusuke)

While tidying up the unsold small items, Yusuke remembered the important secret story that was told to him last night. Zeshald who plans to infiltrate and spy on the true state affairs of the neighboring country Bull Garden whom had one way or another tried to provoke a war.

In the first place there wasn't a need to participate in this type of mission, one may well say that the active duty palace officials are busy with the government affairs, due to the hostile aggression in the vicinity of Bull Garden's border, highway blockades are being carried out causing an obstruction in the flow of manpower and goods which indirectly affects works/constructions as a form of counter measure to limit them.

Since a person with heavy allegiance would be informed of the enemies betrayer, to be send into the mouth of the tiger would be too dangerous, by going in as a traitor would be much feasible.

To a certain extend of strength and experience, Zeshald still have influence and prestige among many within the palace, even though he had retired from political affairs, thus being the most qualified if one is to think in terms of time and talent.

Yesterday's turmoil, "Discord between the Former Imperial God Skill Instructor Zeshald and King Esvobus" that act may have made a good publicity through Bull Garden's spies, as Zeshald mention.

"Understand? Keep an eye out for items of quality that is very cheap, unless the items are sold out immediately take it and purchase , at least that way we won't need to make a 2nd round trip to the market to find it."(Zeshald)

"As I thought I would like a wooden scoop"(Yusuke)
(TL: Was wondering what the fuck was ボッタ botte until I found out that only the Italian word make sense)

Zeshald who was about the leave the country alone, wanted to entrust the Village of Rufuku to Yusuke. And Sun's situation too. He wanted Yusuke to learn as quickly as possible about the knowledge of this world, and to apply the use of this knowledge and wisdom to his daily life.

"It's about lunch time"(Zeshald)
"Do you want to have lunch?"(Yusuke)

As we were mostly done with our shopping, we headed into the nearby eatery to have lunch. Although there were many street side food and drink stalls, Zeshald who wanted to teach various things to Yusuke decided to head into a regular shop.

The shops in the commoner districts isn't as expensive as those located in the middle class and noble districts. They usually have the kind of public cafeteria like atmosphere, while at night there are the taverns.

"This place doesn't seem to have much of a change."(Zeshald)
"Well, I am from the same type of human civilization. Even though it is a different world, there are many things that are similar."(Yusuke)

Zeshald begin teaching the origins of the structure of the rank systems in the city and how it's citizen are supported, little by little Yusuke begin to absorb the general knowledge of the world. The shop was packed with people as it was lunch time, within the hustle and bustle of the crowd, there was one person who was quietly peeking on the master and students table.

------

Afternoon ~~

We returned to the carriage began loading up the luggage while preparing for the trip back to the village. We will have to leave early tomorrow, that way we would be able to arrive in the evening. I had bought a few species of crops as I have a plan to cultivate them on a field in a corner of the village, thus I am eager to go back immediately and customize the soil which would be the location for the cultivation.

"Excuse me, have you seen Mr. Zeshald"(green hair guy)

While we were securing the luggage with ropes, a green hair man approach the carriage, as he spoke in a light-hearted voice.

"Yes? Indeed, my name is Zeshald"(Zeshald)
"Former .... Imperial God Skill Instructor, please come"(green hair guy)

To carry a hidden meaning within his words, Zeshald instantly looked at him in the eyes and astute. Yusuke had expression while Zeshald and the green hair young man was staring at each other. Although it seems that they weren't acquaintance, but it seems that the young man know things about Zeshald.

Yusuke felt insecure from the state of Zeshald who is having a standing off with the green hair young man, it this man the one from yesterday's talk "Bull garden's spy"? While Yusuke was thinking about it and before the expression of yesterday appeared, Zeshald called out to him.

"Yusuke, I am sorry but could you leave for a little bit please."(Zeshald)
"Eh? ok, yes"(Yusuke)

While Yusuke was leaving the carriage, Zeshald and the green hair man turn and walked towards the city's direction together. As they become aware that Yusuke wasn't in the area, the green hair guy of wind skill people used a wind skill which only the targeted person could hear and invited Zeshald.

"Do you have any feelings left before you leave this country?"(green hair guy)

As Zeshald predicted, yesterday's commotion had some effect on bull garden's decision to recruit the former Imperial God Skill Instructor.

After a few minutes have passed, Zeshald returned to the carriage alone and prepared to get in bed.
Curious about what had been spoken Yusuke came over and ask, Zeshald told many things in general to him and that he was still considering, and he urged Yusuke to rest his body in preparation for tomorrow.

"This might be a little early though."(Zeshald)
"It is still bright"(Yusuke)

Zeshald murmur to Yusuke to make sure that he knows the task that should be done, the truth is, that he was keeping something else from him.

Chapter 5 : Zerald Speculation (Part 2)

Click here to read the whole of chapter 5.

As Yusuke and his group returned to the carriage, they begin making the bed and started on the preparation for tomorrow, as they took out items needed to be sold for the stall and place it aside while also taking out the lala fruits and dried meat for dinner. During the commotion that just happened, they had met Princess Violet who was the catalyst of it, and thus they begin to talk about the relationship between the King and Zerald.

"My past with Esvobus, we were companions on a journey together. Hmmm, a little more salt and the taste would be great right?"(Zerald)
"Err, I was acquainted with the king"(Zerald)

While performing customization on the seasoning of the dried meat that Zerald prefered, Yusuke was listening to the not so ordinary old man's story. It was more than 20 years ago, before Esvobus ascended his throne.

Esvobus who was going to become the future king, was trying to find methods to prosper the country other than dominant invasion by force, in order to become a virtue king he decided to travel as much as possible around the world to deepen his insight of advancement/development. During these trips there were friends and followers from various countries who traveled together, Zerald was one of them.

"It is good that he is a virtue King, although he is a man of little ambition"(Zerald)

He who is known to be the apex of the fire skill people a symbol of the military might, was a pacifist who wishes for a peaceful solution. He layout the foundations of a good government and was also highly supported by people as a virtue king, his fame wasn't bad, but the foreign countries use their military to make a pass and put political stress on the government and there was inner criticism of having a weak attitude.

"Particularly, there was intensive harassment from the neighboring country in the recent years"(Zerald)
"Harassment?"(Yusuke)

Our neighboring country "Bull garden" whose lands comprises of a large mountain which altitude exceeds over 1000m is 2/3 of their territories, their ideology is that there is no hierarchy among the 4 gods, a true democratic emerging nation.

"Fortress city Paula" was build at the foot of the mountain as their second capital, it is there to glower at the borders of Fonclanc. By the way, the distance from Paula to Sanc Adiet is much closer than the village of Rufuku.

"Groups of civilian military personal from bull garden have been trespassing our national borders, laying waste and spreading fear in Fonclanc's territories."(Zerald)
"Eh, Isn't that a dangerous act of aggression?"(Yusuke)
"Well, usually that would have started a war"(Zerald)

King Esvobyus instructed the strengthening of the security near the border while sending a messenger of protest, but Bull garden only requested the abolition of Aristocracy, and completely ignored all protest.

Isn't that crazy, Bull garden sent in a large number of spies into Sanc Adiet, there are even collusion within the palace officials. Even with the strengthening of the border security, leaked information have made it less effective.

"Aren't they being sloppy"(Yusuke)
"Well, even if our side were to persist on being a pacifist our opponent will hit us with a planned insertion strategy that bases off their conclusion of what was heard and seen, that's what I'll do."(Zerald)

"Is this country alright?"asked Yusuke, "For the time being it is" replied Zerald heavy heartedly.

"I had consulted Esvobus and will get into Bull garden's plan."(Zerald)
"Isn't that....."(Yusuke)
"That's to say, spying. However, I have to be invited as on of Bull Garden Betrayer."(Zerald)

Because of that, Zerald had to turn his relationship with the king sour.

"Whoa ..... Isnt this, a state secret?"(Yusuke)
"Yup, It's a super absolute secrecy secret."(Zerald)
"! Should you be telling me all this?"(Yusuke)

What type of lighthearted talk is this as tension rises within Yusuke, Zerald put on a serious look, as it seems that it was the intention behind this talk.

"I am curious about you who is summoned in the form of the evil god would accomplished, and what role you will play in time."(Zerald)

At that time, those who wrote about the stories and those who spread the stories, the stories of the evil god who brought about calamity, what kind of disaster were they hoping for, was it the decisions made by the authorities, was it the evaluation of the general people.

In the end "who wished for this calamity"

"Maybe than, I might be the first one who will tread on the road of destruction, but .... ...."(Zerald)

I do not know the intention of the existence which summoned Yusuke to this world and gave him a unique power, in the ancient past during major turning point of history there had been appearance of the evil god, a transcendent being which could carry out the world's judgement.

Evidently the basis of judgement will be cast from the information gathered, though many pleasant things would be better for thinking.

"Please lord, go explore and see the many things our world have to offer. "
