The Demon King's Reincarnation Starts a New Life From Zero

V1 Chapter 39 Departing Mission

Earthworms.

It was a giant, multi-legged type insect that had a hard shell that had a purple luster.

Let alone a horse, it has a large body that surpasses even a bear, and can run very fast even in the desert.

At one point, it was classified as a monster, but right now, it seems that some of the fans are using them as a means of transportation.

“...... Of course, if with that, we can get there quickly, not so.”

Anyway, earthworms are fast.

Some of those legs move at unusual speeds, and can run on any kind of bad road.

If it was a place he decided to go through, an Earthworm would immediately try to pass through it.

Whether it's a narrow mountain road where a misstep will lead to a fall into a ravine, or a narrow pit.

When there is an error in controlling it, Earthworms will easily leave the rider, but if it can be controlled, there is no more reliable means of transportation than this.

Earthworm shells are harder than poorly constructed armor, and his full-strength sprint that was on the verge of being considered a wild run was said to be incredible to the point that Goblins and bandits would fall into a state of panic and flee.

The problem is, controlling is very difficult.

Unless it's already settled, it's impossible.

“I don't really understand but .... wouldn't it be fine if we just sent the giants flying with him? As such

“ do ”.

Zweita turned a vexed look at Sharon's words.

“...... The giants went [do ], the city went [do ], the walls and houses collapsed, and then roared screams ....”.

“Eh, ehh!?!

“Well, it's not an impossible story.”

While hitting his hand on Zweita's head with the meaning of “let it go", Shion smiled wryly.

That's right, it's not an impossible story.

If there was an error in the Earthworm's control, it could end up like that.

It would be a disaster if it turned out that way.

Putting aside students like Kain and Sharon, Shion and Zweita technically had positions as Adventurers that were the talk of the town.

Moreover, their true identities were the Demon King and his servant.

He did not want to make a legend with unnecessary mistakes.

“I won't mind the idea of using Earthworms itself. But, there's nothing we can do with it unless we can direct it, you know?”

“Hh, um ....”.

It was there that Sharon timidly raised her hand.

Although his body trembled as the concurrent gazes turned towards him, Sharon expressed her opinion.

“It was thought, wouldn't it be okay if we asked the Headmaster to move it for us ....”

“Asks Luuty? Or rather, by borrowing Earthworms, is it possible ...”.

“Yes, it seems that the Headmaster himself brought him to the main gate of the royal capital.”

Saying that before, were the words that Shion held back from saying.

He had no idea what the Sylphid woman would say later if they made him wait.

“...... Then, let's get there.”

When Shion stood up, Zweita also immediately stood up.

“Hopefully your trip is safe ~.”

“..... Yes, we will go.”

Shion makes a short answer to Carol's cheerful words.

Carol was dark in many ways when they first came here, but she became very cheerful.

According to Garadd, it seems like it was thanks to Shion and Zweita, but Shion himself did not specifically know about it.

“...... It's night, yes.”

Shops in the slums are basically open even at night. The shopkeeper himself would sleep in, and hand it over to the shop assistant. That part, even for the shops on the main street, was the same anywhere if it was aimed at adventurers.

To answer the demands of an Adventurer who will travel or return from a trip anytime and anywhere, or perhaps to become their favorite store, being open at any time is an important condition.

That was why, even now, the interior of the city shone with shop lights and magic lights that were periodically lit, so unless one was far away on the side streets, there was no dark place.

That being said, since there was such a problem as the cost of labor even in loading magical power into the magic lamp, it was pretty much just a bright royal capital even at night.

As Shion thought about such a thing, Kain sighed.

“Truly there, many people, not there.”

“Have you recently arrived in the royal capital?”

“Yes. That's because my hometown and Sharon are more rural areas.”

After Shion gave a matching nod to that answer, Kain once again faced forward and started walking.

Of course, if it was the son of the Baron House, he would live in his own hometown, and it was probably a fact that it was a more rural area than the royal capital.

Not having any more interest from it, Shion did not feel the need to ask anything else.

“Why ...... You, selected?”

“Heh?”

However, when Zweita asked Sharon for that, Shion thought “I understand”.

It was about getting students to go on dangerous requests.

Shion thought of it as nothing but having difficult things pushed towards him. However, the reason why Kain and Sharon were chosen should exist naturally.

Even if he was going to cross-examine Luuty who might be waiting for them, he did not think that he would hear a good answer from her, so it could be said that asking Sharon that matter, that looks like he doesn't have a tongue, now it's true.

“U, u __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________. This is just a guess, but I think it might be because of Kain?”

“Because of Fabric?”

When Shion turned his eyes towards Kain who was walking in front, Kain scratched his head as if he was troubled.

He could not see the expression on his face, but he could see that he was a bit shaken.

“Fabric, he did something extraordinary during the practical skills exam, and it seems that the sensei examiner became an uproar....”.

“Something amazing, yes.”

“No, that, I made a mistake in magic adjustment. And I accidentally got full power ...”.

For now, Shion nodded looking like she could understand at Kain who said it looked embarrassed.

It was a story that he felt like he heard somewhere, that was what he thought.

He could not remember what it was at all but ... thinking that it was useless if he could not remember it, Shion decided to settle for that answer.

After all, it might end with Luuty watching him because of that.

“Ah, I can see the main gate.”

In front of Cain when he said it was the main gate of the enormous royal capital.

It was a wall made by laying white stone, and a steel gate.

Soldiers were stationed there for the sake of not letting suspicious people in busy.

Among the merchant and guard carriages that came and went, they could tell that there were some gigantic objects that were bright purple in color.

“Can be known with a glance yes ....”.

“True once.”

The thing that was at the end of Shion and Zweita's gaze, there was most likely no mistake that it was Earthworm and Luuty.

The silver hair bundled into bread on both sides of his head was clearly Luuty.

He had not worn his suit since this afternoon, but a cloth suit and silver armor, although it felt like he wanted to say some kind of joke.

How he carried the bow on his back was certainly also some sort of mistake.

“You really enjoyed your sweet time. After you board, we'll leave.”

After preparing the proper travel clothes, Luuty stated that after he confirmed Shion and the other figures.
