"Tak-kun, are you going alone?

Yeah, I'll go alone.

In the middle of the night, after we ate dinner and everyone went to bed, we finished getting ready for the trip.

I remember the route to the Demon King's Great Labyrinth (Labyrinth).

It's not far from this mountain.

''If we don't encounter any demons, we'll get there in ten days.

I can only save her once a day. If we push ourselves too hard, we'll lose consciousness. Are you going to be okay with that?

I'll try to run away. I don't want everyone else to get hurt.

This is my own problem.

The truth is, I wanted to leave my magic sword Karuna behind as well, but as expected, I can't travel without it.

It's just a matter of time before I'll be able to help you as much as I can. I'll let you know in advance if any demons are approaching.

Thank you.

What do you mean, you're so serious? Tat-kun, you're a bit funny. You look better with your usual a**h*le face.

Carna and I walked away from the cave, talking in a small voice.

She thought she could leave without anyone noticing.

'Are you going out? Master Takumi.

During the day, the Goblin King was sitting on a large rock where the Beast King Miakis had been basking in the sun.

''Ah, just for a walk,''

'I see. I was just able to take that walk the other day. Can I show you the way, if you'd like?

It's true that the heroic end said in the Jugoukai (Jugoukai).

The Goblin King met Alice in the Demon King's Labyrinth.

'No need to guide me. For that matter, go to Leia's .......

Alice tried to tell him in the letter, and stopped trying to ask him about Leia. That would have nothing to do with this time.

'No, it's still good. Tell everyone that I'll be gone for a while and they can do what they want with the food.

I understand. Have a good day, Takumi.

The Goblin King sees me off and leaves the cave.

I'm worried about food, but we'll think about that after this mess is over.

Ha, this is the first time we're alone. Aren't you a little nervous?

No, not at all.

"Oh, really? Yes, of course! I don't know! I'm a nuke!

My trusty demon sword, Karuna, suddenly falls asleep.

Or rather, she was asleep. A new revelation.

I don't know why she's angry, but until we get off the mountain, there won't be much danger.

I decided to leave him alone for a while.

I turned around once I was a little ways down the mountain.

I was going to live my life on my own forever, taking it easy and not leaving the cave alone.

Would he be able to return to those days again someday?

I walked down the mountain path with that thought in mind.

I reached the city just as dawn was breaking.

The morning glow had dyed the city red and yellow.

The little mountain I was on, called Mount Bolt. At the foot of the mountain was a remote country town called Nat.

A number of small farms spread out in front of me, and I could see people working in the fields here and there from early in the morning.

The houses that were built here and there were all made of stone, and the outer walls that covered the town were also piled with bricks.

I'm not sure if we've arrived in town or not. It's been a while, Nat's Town.

Karuna, who woke up at some point, muttered.

Come to think of it, Karuna was bought at a weapons store in this city.

''Oh, Tak-kun, aren't you going to enter the city?

I was eager to get in.

This is where we need to get food and equipment for the trip.

But from the moment I saw the town sign at the entrance, I couldn't move a single step.

You know, the signboard has changed. What is this?'

Karuna also noticed. I knew it wasn't a mistake.

A sign with the name of the city written on it. The name of the signboard that used to say 【Nat's Town】 had been changed.

【Takumi's Town】

It was indeed written there.

'It's Takumi-sama! Takumi-sama is here!

I sneak into town, but the first farmer's grandmother I meet eyes with suddenly shouts at me.

With a mad dash that didn't seem like an old man, she disappeared into the center of the city.

From there, it was just a matter of time.

Even though it was early in the morning, we were surrounded by a crowd that could have been the entire city's population.

Takumi-sama, Takumi-sama! Thank you for saving the city from goblins!

I'm sorry I didn't realize you had been watching over us from the mountains all this time.

No, I'm not saving it and I'm not watching over it.

"I propose to sacrifice one of our city's daughters once a year. I beg you, please, appease your fury.

No, I'm not mad at you at all, so stop being so serious.

Oh, how merciful of you, Takumi-sama! I hear that you will continue to protect us free of charge, gentlemen!

Ooohhhh, they cheer.

Everyone is prostrating themselves and worshipping me.

No, I haven't and I won't.

I'm sorry, but I have some urgent business to attend to. Do you sell me enough food for 20 days, some travel gear, and a simple shield?

You're not selling it. All of you! We need food and supplies for Master Takumi as soon as possible!

No, I'll buy it. Please let me buy it. Please let me buy it!

No. It would be a terrible thing to get free stuff here. If the mountain pays tribute to me, I won't be able to live at ease.

Takumi-sama, how is Moe with Ola's place? If you don't mind, do you want another one?

Oh, yeah. Not now. Better make a good count of how many moo's you've got, though.

An old cowherd with a moo speaks to me.

The moo you gave me was the Goblin King!

I wanted to shout that, but I held back because it would cause confusion.

''As expected of you, Takumi-sama. You seem to have mastered that magic sword, Soul Eater.''

This time, a bearded arms dealer's father spoke to me.

If you're looking for a shield, how about this one? The Magic Shield King Bomb. If the user is attacked beyond a certain point, the shield will explode and self-destruct in a huge explosion that engulfs the user. It's okay. Takumi-sama would surely be able to use it unharmed.

I don't know how to use this thing!

Why do you guys always sell so much dangerous equipment? I mean, what's a king bomb?

A regular shield will do. Also, get me some regular leather armor.

The arms dealer's father looks disappointed.

'Takumi-sama, take the town's famous rice bales with you.

I can't carry something so heavy.

Takumi-sama, please take my daughter.

No, it's heavier than a bale of rice.

"Takumi-sama, Takumi-sama, Takumi-sama!

Hey, let's get out of here, Karuna.

I couldn't even prepare my equipment, and I started running at once.

I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of the equipment.

There's no way I'm going out there.

When everything is over, I'll definitely lock myself away in the mountains again.

With that vow, I left the city that was named after me, as if to escape.
