Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 115 - 109: En Route

While shaking with a gata~ goto~ sound, a single carriage advanced along the highway.

The speed of the carriage pulled by the 3 normal horses was fast. A person wearing a Mage robe could be seen sitting in the driverʼs seat, holding the horsesʼ reins. A man dressed in armor with a sheathed sword placed on his tight was sitting next to the mage, watching the surroundings for surprise attacks from monsters.

And inside the carriage,

ʼʼUwa~, it is warm. When were these bought Big brother?” Gracier asked because, on their way to the meeting place, they did not buy any cookies.

ʼʼAh, I brought them on the day I went running some errands.ʼʼ

Alex explained as he also took a cookie and ate it.

ʼʼOh, it smells good. May I have one?ʼʼ

ʼʼSure. You should also try Meera, theyʼre quite delicious.ʼʼ

Meera seemed to have been lured by the smell and involuntary carried a cookie to her mouth, she was not the only one though, Conrad, and Eleonora also tried some.

ʼʼOh, it really is. How envious, space ring is great. Being able to eat freshly baked cookies at any time.

ʼʼNo, I donʼt think itʼs normal to use a space ring in this way.ʼʼ

To Meeraʼs words, Sebastian answered, dumbfounded. Alex chuckled while inwardly sharing the same thought, women and their mentality.

Well, he was his fault to begin with, if he hadnʼt taken out the cookies, Meera wouldnʼt have said that. He held out a dish holding the remaining freshly baked cookies while smiling wryly.

ʼʼWant to try some?”

But Sebastian looked at the cookies placed on the dish and shook his head.

ʼʼSorry, I donʼt like sweet food.ʼʼ

Alex could only shrug his shoulder seeing Sebastian not partaking in the cookies feast.

In response to Sebastian, who refused, Conrad happily stretched out his hand to grab a cookie before carrying it to his mouth

.

ʼʼMm, it certainly is delicious.ʼʼ

Unlike Golfak, who was feeling the tension in the driverʼs seat outside, it was rather laid back inside the carriage.

Compared to yesterday when Meera was being silent, today she was talkative.

ʼʼMeera how does your continent look like?”

To Gracierʼs question, Meera smiled beautifully, she couldnʼt hide the pride she felt for her hometown when she started talking.

ʼʼItʼs the most beautiful of all continents. There are gigantic trees everywhere, beautiful birds, our houses are beautiful too. Ah! I miss home.ʼʼ Meera said with a look of longing.

ʼʼWonderful, I will visit it someday,ʼʼ Alex said

while Gracier nodded her head happily when she heard this news.

Chuckling Eleonora inquired, ʼʼYou are feeling nostalgic. Why do you leave in the first place?”

Meeraʼs eyes deemed for a moment, smiling bitterly she said, ʼʼWell, stuff happens, itʼs complicated.ʼʼ

It was all she said not going into details.

ʼThere must a story being her leaving home.ʼ Alex thought.

While carrying cookies to his mouth, Alex spoke up to Conrad.

ʼʼIs there a time limit for the completion of this subjugation request?”

ʼʼNormally yes, but this time no. Take your time to complete the request. Make sure you have thoroughly cleaned the village of all the monsters, though.ʼʼ

Conrad explained, Alex nodded his head pleased that there was no time limit or else it will be difficult, there will be more than 30 monsters occupying Gatoʼs village.

ʼʼThere is something I want to know.ʼʼ Meera suddenly said, glancing at her Alex said,

ʼʼGo ahead.ʼʼ

ʼʼArenʼt there at least 30 monsters? It seems a little difficult to take on that many opponents with 7 people.ʼʼ

ʼʼNo, not really. After all, weʼll be able to mount a surprise attack as we are the attacking group. However, whether we can launch a surprise attack or not depends on whether we can work together.ʼʼ

To Meera, who was murmuring anxiously, Alex explained.

What Alex said was not wrong, if they work together and coordinate well, they will be able to successfully pull through. Letʼs not forget that they Mages among them, Mages firepower are no joke.

ʼʼThatʼs true. In fact, Conrad said that the participants in the test this time were quite good. In the first place, a party of 7 where 4 can use magic is considered quite powerful.ʼʼ

Sebastian overheard Alex and Meeraʼs exchange and told them that with a wry smile to relieve her tension.

ʼʼBy the way, I can use spirit magic and the driver, Lucien, can use wind magic and healing magic, Eleonora: Wind and Water magic, as for your sister itʼs Fire magic, what magic can you use Alex?ʼʼ

She might have had some interest as in the mock battle the day before, Alex had only used the knives in combat. Meera leaned forward and asked.

The other people except Gracier seemed interested in knowing which magic Alex can use.

Smiling bitterly, Alex responded ʼʼSorry, I canʼt use magic.ʼʼ

ʼʼEh??”

Both Meera and Eleonora said surprised. Even Conrad seemed a little bit surprised,

Sebastian was also surprised. Even himself or Golfak could use Wind Magic to some extent, albeit weaker ones.

ʼʼI thought that your movement skill is Wind-related skill?” Eleonora asked if itʼs true then does it mean Alex can be considered to have an affinity with the Wind element?

Shrugging his shoulder Alex replied, ʼʼI donʼt know, however as I said, I canʼt use magic.ʼʼ

ʼHow odd. He said that but he possesses a frightening amount of magic power.ʼ Meera inwardly thought as she scanned Alex with her eyes.

Eleonora also found Alexʼs words odd, how can he possesses such an amount of magic power and says that he could not use any magic? Itʼs odd.

At the time of the rank-up test meeting the day before, when Meera saw Alex with his sister enter the meeting room, she could feel that his magic power was the greatest she had ever seen. Because of that, she was tense in the meeting room, ready to escape at any time if need be.

Was she wrong thinking he had frightening MP? No unlikely.

ʼIn fact, Alexʼs amount of magic power is not normal. Or his Rank is 7? Unlikely. Normally, humans with Alexʼs rank canʼt have that much magic power, or is he not human? I see, it possibly could be that. However, at the very least, mutual understanding is possible and thereʼs no need to be hostile, itʼs good that he seems friendly enough, at first I was scared of him.ʼ

While observing and evaluating Alex in her mind, at the very least, she calmed herself down as the possibility of him harming them was low.

As for Meera, compared to 20 or 30 monsters, she felt Alexʼs risk was higher. However, the stress gradually disappeared as they continued conversing.

If Alex knew what was going through Meeraʼs head he would have facepalmed while saying,

ʼGirl what do you take me for Iʼm not that dangerous.ʼ

Meera was now glancing at Gracier why also thinking.

ʼI donʼt their history if they are real siblings but this sister of his is also a freak. The amount of Fire spirits around her is frightening, she canʼt see them yet her control over Fire was so perfect that one could not help but wonder if she is the child of Fire. If she could see the spirit, her power will skyrocket alas it seems she canʼt, why I wonder?

Probably because she has Godʼs benediction (Gift). Sigh! If itʼs true then no wonder, her Godʼs benediction must be of the highest level. Those siblings are freaks, I canʼt wait to see what Alexʼs Godʼs benediction gonna be. I need to befriend them.ʼ

Gracier noticed Meera staring at her weirdly, therefore she asked, ”Meera, is there something on my face?”

”No, not at all.” Meera hastily replied as she had finally noticed that she was staring too intensely at Gracier.

On the side, Eleonora couldnʼt help but smile when she noticed the look of interest Meera started giving Alex and Gracier.

ʼIt seems that her curiosity got picked.ʼ

Eleonora murmured before continuing to chat with others.
