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

V1 Chapter 40 This Has Been the Plot

“...... Why are you preparing to leave too?....”

With the situation answering his confusion, Shion held her head in her hands and felt resigned.

Perhaps because it was unexpected even for Kain and Sharon, their eyes went round.

Zweita is the only one who seems to be calm.

Therefore, the reaction of Cain and Sharon could be said to be understandable.

When they think that a driver for them will be dispatched, they prepare their weaponry for adventure and hope to meet them.

But the one they met was not someone like a classmate. But it was the Chairman of the Board who was the pinnacle of the Adventurer School of Edius.

He participates in student adventures as part of an unheard-of transport before.

“H, Principal ..... Will you come?”

“Fabric. I'm not the Headmaster, I'm the Chairman of the Board. Also, since this is outside office hours, be sure to call me Kak Luuty.”

“With the Headmaster .... no, I mean, with Kak Luuty around, he would be an incredible force, no, Kain!”

For some reason, seeing the peaceful atmosphere of the three of them, Shion had a headache.

“...... So, Luuty ...... Why are you coming?”

“There is no real reason for that. I just don't want the Earthworm I rented involved in a terrible accident.”

That's a reasonable reason.

In other words, when Kain and Sharon were talking about Earthworm with Luuty, it might have been decided that this would be like this in Luuty's mind.

Thinking that, Shion noticed something.

"Wait a minute. Kain, did you know that Luuty has Earthworms?”

“Eh? No, when Brother Luuty came to us with this matter, we heard him in the middle of the conversation ...... ……”

“Ah _____ ...... So , I understand now.”

They were clearly guided there by Lutty.

Luuty probably guided the flow of his conversation with Kain and Sharon so that it would head in that direction.

In a manner in which he himself did not say that he was going to come along, and in a form in which he was asked by Cain and Sharon's side ......

That's the direction he made her go.

And then, most likely, there was no mistake that he had planned to come for some reason from the start, that was what Shion thought.

Thinking about the content of the request, it was difficult for even Shion to reject it. Naturally, it would be fine for him to reject it, but there was no reason to refuse.

With him not ruining his performance as a good cooperative worker until the end, he was actually a difficult opponent to deal with.

“...... So, you use arrows as weapons.”

When Shion sent his gaze towards the arrow that Luuty carried on his back, Luuty nodded.

“Yes, I often go out to the scene even now you know?”

Since Shion vaguely had the mental image of her using magic, she felt that she was actually using it instead.

He could tell the truth if he used Status Confirmation Magic, but if he used it, he might sense it with movements of magical power.

Thinking that it would be safer not to do unnecessary things, he held back his curiosity and controlled himself.

“However, let's go. Come, hurry.”

Seeing Luuty clapping his hands, Kain and Sharon looked puzzled and rushed over to the Earthworm.

Shion stared at the Earthworm once more.

It was a gigantic insect that had a carapace that glowed purple as the city light shone on it.

Something that looked like a carriage box was mounted on his back. It was a truly beautiful box, but he could not see as far as the interior from here.

It seemed that a short rope ladder was used to climb into that box, and it was impressive how it hung from that box.

“Stay, I understand ....... Thinking that we will be in a box similar to a carriage.”

“If it is to be pulled and transported by Earthworms, of course it will be a terrible accident.”

While somehow coming to an agreement with this, Shion and Zweita also ascend to Earthworm.

Inside the box where they climbed the rope ladder, it was decorated in a way that could be described as high class. Pillow sponge. Sofa brown black.

A suitable place for a coachman's seat connected from there is covered in a circle with a transparent window made of polished crystal or such, and ensures a wide field of view.

What was in front of the coachman's chair was a ball that emitted a faint light.

“With this magic ball, I can connect my command with Earthworm.”

“Did you complete the formalities and such?”

“True, true, the.”

As he said that, following Luuty as he went to the coachman's seat was a man wearing an iron helmet that appeared and showed his face.

That equipment, it was the standard equipment for the soldiers of the royal capital—— In other words, he was probably the main gatekeeper.

“Erm ...... Right, it must be five people. Since Luuty's part has already been checked, it's a bit of a hassle, but can the remaining one please show a card that could act as an identification?”

This was a necessary procedure to enter and leave the city.

Those who do not have it at the time of entry will issue a temporary card, and those who do some sort of work inside will have a card showing that they did.

It can't be spoken in a voice that's too loud, but any random thug can have an Adventurer card.

This means that they will be identified by it, and it will be used at the time of entry and exit of the city or transactions that require trust.

“True, everything is fine. Then, make a safe trip.”

After the soldier who examined Shion and the other Adventurers' Cards said that with a smile, he went down the rope ladder.

As Zweita collected the rope ladder, the sounds of soldiers carrying out traffic control could be heard.

“And Earthworms come through ”!

“Open road, go! You won't come down just by being stepped on and crushed!”

By obeying the instructions of the soldiers who let out loud noises, the crowd split to either side of the road.

The area in front of the Earthworm that Shion and the others were riding on no longer had a single mouse there.

“No problems within range can be seen on the inner side of the gate!”

“No problems within range can be seen on the outer side of the gate!”

“Roger, no problem on the inner or outer side of the gate! Send signal for departure to Earthworm!”

“Roger, signify departure! Calling departure to operator Earthworm Luuty-shi! Request signal!”

Sharon raised an amazed voice at the lively voice and movements.

“Uwah ...... It's amazing, amazing, isn't it, Zweita!”

“Zweita hates such stuffy procedures.”

Both of their impressions were correct, that was what Shion thought.

By being that way and doing it ceremonially, it makes mistakes hard to happen.

In terms of dangerous transportation methods like Earthworms, this is the right move.

Danger must be prevented before it occurs. If for that sake, inevitably this had to be done.

“Roger is ready to go! Depart on 5!”

“Roger with a count of 5! Starting counting!”

Answering Luuty, the voice of the soldier doing the countdown sounded.

Count 5.

Count 4.

Count 3.

“There will be an amazing impact. Make sure You don't bite Your Tongue.”

Count 2.

Count 1.

Along with the count of 0, Earthworms go.

That so-called departure was not a simple acceleration. Making the sound of [don] roaring, it was an intense departure.

Upon hearing Sharon's shout echoing from above the Earthworm, the soldiers who saw their departure laughed.

“It's fast as usual.”

“Yes. They usually run slower. I wonder if it is because the compatibility between Earthworm and teacher is too good?”

“Hahaha. He was the one who bought Earthworms because he said he hated how slow horses were, you know? The only time that person safely moved the Earthworm was quite a lot when he came to town!”

If Shion heard those words, he would definitely file a complaint, but the Earthworm was already in the middle of a flat-out road to a place very far from the city.

…… Then again.

Even if he made a protest, there was a low chance of whether Luuty would accept it or not.
