Chapter 17 - Good bye and a Promise

Chapter 17

Good bye and a Promise

Currently I am having a chat with Philia san.

While Robert san is sitting there writing something in a diary.

I mean what can he do.

From his perspective two people are just quietly staring at each other, so ofcourse he will get bored.

Then he should have not come in first place.

Look what your insecurities made you do.

Now you are bored and writing gibberish in your diary trying to look cool.

You third wheel uncle.

Forgetting about him I continued my conversation with Philia san.

(I wanted to ask if stampede occurs commonly here...

Or is it instigated by other races like demos or vampires)

This is my trick question to know something, especially about vampire race.

(No Ray Kun. What are you saying....

Why would demon race or vampire race instigate stampede....

Although we sometimes have border conflicts with the Rolgar nation due to their anti human policies but I don't think they will do such round about thing...

The stamped occurred because that side of Ghalia forest was not properly maintained, due to lack of A rank adventurers...

Such events are rare but this was a natural outcome of their Lord's carelessness...

Listen Ray kun You must not discriminate against demons or other races OK...

Our nation preaches equality among all races and allows all of them to live here harmoniously...

So you should not doubt people just on that basis Ok....

All races have good and bad people....

No race entirely is bad. You must remember this. )

It seems like I have asked a stupid question.

But atleast Philia san went from being sad to being a smug preacher who wants to impart good morals to me.

Now she is behaving like herself again.

Also I was able to get quite a lot from it. Demons exist.

Their race and vampires are not all bad.

There is a Rolgar nation that is anti human.

This nation on the other hand preaches no discrimination policy .

But then Rolgar should be anti to those that discriminate against demons or whatever race they believe is superior.

Why are they hostile to this nation that preaches harmony.

More information is needed for that.

And lastly monsters need to be killed regularly in Ghalia forest otherwise stampede can occur.

And the Lord of that area was careless.

Atleast the Lord of Detroit city seems decent enough to me as there were very less monsters near this city when I came yesterday.

Moreover the fake granny at the potion shop aka Charlotte san really maybe a good person and was just hiding herself for some other reason.

Or could be that Philia san is naïve and the Granny is really the one who caused stampede or maybe she has connection with someone who did it with her help.

My cautious and doubtful nature cannot be changed by a little preaching from Philia san.

But lets assure Philia san that I will be a good boy and will follow her teachings.

(Yes Philia san. I also believe the same as you...

I will surely not discriminate or be doubtful towards someone just because they are demon.)

(Good. Now I will come pick you up to visit Lily after tommorow's breakfast...

So be ready by then...

Ah! I almost forgot, the Captain said that you are free to leave the barracks after tomorrows visit to Lily...

But if you need anything, please donot hesitate to visit us anytime Ok...

Also I will take you to a magic tool shop tomorrow and there we'll buy a telepathy magic tool for you Ok...

If it's a simple one it will cost only two to three gold coins.)

(Ohh, I did not even think of the language problem that I will face after leaving here...

The people here were so accepting of me that I did not even feel that I could not communicate...

But Philia san, I cannot accept such costly tool from you...

If its two three gold coins, I have enough to buy the tool...

So please, I am already greatful to you for many things.)

Saying that I showed her 15 gold coins, which I had from my loot of golblins.

(I am happy that you had a good stay here but you are a stubborn kid aren't you Ray kun...

You should just let others take care of you...

Actually I wanted to teach you Ellisium language...

But this stampede case has come upon us...

And for that purpose we are currently very busy. )

So that's what the weapons, armours and potions were for.

Preparation to fight the stampede? Also since things are becoming hectic, they donot have free soldiers to take care of me.

They already have done enough for me.

Infact I donot want them to do anymore than this.

(Will the monsters show up here too Philia san?)

(No, I dont think so...

They are currently headed in opposite direction infact...

But our platoon members will also participate in the operation to cull them...

We will encircle them from behind. )

(So Philia san and others are also going to participate?)

I am worried.

What if something happen to the people I just made friends with.

(Yeah. That is our duty as Knights of Kingdom...

But donot worry Ray kun. We are quite strong...

And it seems that 2 army platoons and many A rank adventure parties are already attacking from front...

So I think we will be able to easily exterminate them.)

(So you must be quite busy Philia san...

Is it alright to visit Lily with me tomorrow?)

(Oh don't worry about it, we have some other errand too, so we will just drop you there and from there we will on our way)

(Oh so thats how it is.)

(yes)

After that both of us became quiet, maybe thinking about goodbye is sad not only for me but her too.

But she is going on a battle, I should not make her distracted.

(Philia san, I pray for your victory in the upcoming battle...

And once you come back I would like to treat to a good dinner as thanks and also celebration for victory...

Will that be Ok?)

Listening to that Philia san bloomed like a sunflower.

(Ah! Thank you Ray kun and I would be very happy to...

Infact I know just the place. But young children should save money...

It will be my treat Ok)

(No. Absolutely not. How will it be my thanks then...

I will treat Philia san that's It)

(Such a stubborn boy you are Ray kun. Fufufu..well ok I will gladly let you treat me then...

I will be looking forward to it.)

Good. Now she will surely try her best to return safely, I think.

I don't think a promise with me is that important to her but from her reaction I would like to believe it so.

(Yes)

(ok Ray kun since we have work tomorrow, we must prepare...

You should also sleep now. Good Night~)

(Good Night Philia san)

I waved Philia san and Robert san Good bye as they left the room.

Robert san seemed to have gotten so bored that he was sleeping while sitting on chair.

But he woke up as I said him good night.

And stood and left the room with Philia san. Poor uncle.

Today I talked a lot with Philia san.

I am so happy.

And finally I will be free to go on my own huh.

Although I am happy but I will be lonely for sure.

I came to know so many good people here.

Philia san, Robert san, Barnabus san, Sherry san, Mary san and Maxis san.

They all were kind people. Other soldiers too, were nice to me.

It was only a day but it felt like I have known these people for many years.

There was so much warmth here.

In future I should train enough to become capable and strong.

Maybe then I will be able to help and return favour to these people.

With those thoughts my second day in this world came to an end and I fell asleep.

The next day I got up and followed the same routine.

Only this time I had my own brush, soap, towel and clothes.

After bathing I washed the clothes Robert san gave me yesterday.

I will just leave them to dry and they will be of use to someone here.

Then I went to courtyard to train just like yesterday.

I followed the same routine.

Barnabus san smiled after seeing me and gave me a thumbs up and I returned the same.

While leaving I gave Barnabus san a Parfait as a thanks along with my goodbye, which he accepted while laughing and smashing my back with his hand.

Seriously his hand strikes like a hammer. I almost went flying away.

Also Greenwich sisters were here today and Sherry san was training magic shooting with other mage knights.

Mage Knights seems to be special unit in their platoon that fights using magic spells.

There were about 10 mage knights present.

And Sherry san seems to be instructing them.

She seems to be quite talented for her age.

It was my first time seeing attack magic.

They shot fireballs at test dummies by pointing their wands and reciting incantation.

It was such an incredible site that my adjacent soldier had to hit me in back to focus on my training.

Interestingly there was no wand used during telepathy magic by Philia san.

Is she special or does she has some other accessory to help her do magic.

Or is it that magic can be done without wand but wand just increases the efficiency?.

Mary san on other hand is a sword knight and was having a spar with Barnabus san while I was training.

The fight was so intense that I could barely follow any of their swings.

Her strikes and dodges were also fast that it felt like she was teleporting.

Mary san seems to have gift of sword while Sherry san has that of magic.

These sisters are truly talented.

I also gave them my final goodbyes.

They seemed to know about it.

Mary san rubbed my head and sherry san just gave a stoic nod but I felt like her eyes were a little sad.

Or maybe that was what I wanted to believe. Anyway with that my training was over and I went to eat breakfast.
