A False Flag
It was a day close to the approaching Therese graduation day.
The weather becomes warmer as spring approaches. On such continuing fine days, Renya party keeps on endeavoring with their jobs uncared for these small changes.
Renya party keeps on without any restrain undertake any job available there is. But they also make it clear that their main job will be that of monster subjugation mission. If asked why it was because the balance of income and expenditure in that job is better than any other job available.
If it was a normal wanderer or someone from the warrior guild who are a normal human, then they will definitely have large expenses if they went to a monster subjugation job. Those expenses are usually revolves around medicines, traveling means, camping equipment, foodstuff, and many other necessity.
To add to that, if their weapon and armor get damaged, then repair cost will also add to the expenses. It was not as easy as in a game where such kind of expenses got ignored to a certain extent and hunting monster would give a large sum of reward.
But for Renya and his party, hunting monster is even easier than in game.
“N~, With this we got 8000 en eh? Quite a nice job isn’t it?”
Renya just whisper to himself (Well, the reward should be high enough to balance the risk anyway so that’s about right)
By the way, this work can be taken by many, but each party / group won’t get extra reward if they subjugate more targets. It was to aim opportunity equality among the job taker so the reward don’t go gather one-sidedly just to a bunch of people. If asked why that is because this kind of job affects greatly to the influx of wanderer and traveler coming to this city. Those kinds of people who have skill definitely won’t stay long in a city that doesn’t have any job available for them.
This kind of rule applied systemically everywhere in this world, be it a major city or a small village. Because it was already proved fact that places with high amount of people coming and going will have its economy grow faster.
The two also abide by that rule, defeat the necessary number only, and leave the forest just like that.
On their way back, they sometime come across parties that is fully equipped with heavy armaments. From their look, they must also take the subjugation job and is now heading to that forest. Because of that, Renya and Floria feel that even if they don’t work hard, the peace in the forest will eventually come and it won’t take that long.
The two walks in a leisure pace. With their walk speed, they will reach the capital by dusk. They can just fly back home instead of walking and get home faster but because of a word from Floria, they decide to just walk home.
“What the heck is Renyanimin anyway? A kind of vitamin?”
“Is that something you have to say yourself oi? Haah, well let’s just hear how you want to replenish that ‘mystery nutrition’”
“Okay! I will take you on that!”
Even if Renya interacts with Floria with a slight of annoyed expression, He is very lenient when it was about Floria. It was maybe because they have known each other for almost a century but the number one reason is that, they are on the same wavelength when it was for doing mischief or to just simply having fun.
Even if that’s not the case, Renya can’t remember the last time he and Floria have this kind of quiet time with just the two of them together so he just let Floria do what she wants while leisurely walking the highway.
“It’s been a while since we arrived to this world eh”
“This place seems to have temperate climate with no step change in the temperature”
They talk nonchalantly while walking together. Floria keeps on hugging Renya’s arm along the way. They don’t come across many people on the road and the weather is fine, it was a perfect chance for a date while walking out like this.
“U~n……”
“No, well, it’s just that Renya’s body has become… more… god-like……”
“What the heck did you say? that kinda creeps me out you know?”
“Well I don’t feel anything bad from it so I don’t really mind it much but really things change as time passes right?”
“Is that so? So the more I do ecchi things with you the more I become a complete god? That sounds interesting”
“So in short I am steadily evolve into a god right? or should I say god-volve?”
“And the conclusion is that in order for me to completely become a god so I can use my divine power in maximum capacity, doing lots of ecchi things with Floria is a good way to achieve it right?”
“Fu fu fu, you don’t need to say everything my dearest, I know. I never know that you try that far only to get my attention like this”
Floria pulls Renya arm that she hugs while saying it. Because of that action, Renya’s right arm gets buried on the valley of Floria’s rich twin mountain. Of course it was just their usual joke and Floria doesn’t really mad or anything. And Floria also purposely pulls Renya arm to give ‘service’ to him. Not stopping at that, she also made it so Renya can feel her easily by moving right and left alternatively. This goddess is a skillful one.
“Why suddenly tsundere mode?”
“That really came out of nowhere. Anyway you just fine being yourself you know?”
“Hey! I didn’t say anything like that”
Renya’s sense of touch in his right hand is under control from a sensation which seems to gives out sound effects ‘boing boing’.
“No, it’s the best! Do more”
“Okay~ as exchange, I will stick even closer~~”
But suddenly the two hears something that broke their pink moment.
“And I can only hear metallic sound…… the enemy seems to be bandit or the likes”
“Roger~~”
“They don’t seem to need any help but……”
“That’s right. And it also feels bad just looking at them like this. Besides……”
“That cart, it might seems modest but the quality is high. This might be a chance to raise a flag with a noble that we had longed for since we first come to this world!”
“Well, I consider that as one of the romance from doing a trip on a different world. Anyway, we have come this far to check them, might as well help too”
“Ou! Let’s mop them up fast. Floria, you go from the right side. I will beat those three in the front”
With a simple battle tactic, Renya and Floria plunge into the battle.
The only one who realizes their approach from the back is the hooded knight.
“It seems not needed but we come to help!”
(To know the reason why they attacks then sparring one person is enough)
“Ceh, I don’t know who you are but how dare you disturb us!”
In the moment when that bandit boss draws his short sword, Renya quickly cut it in a flash. With a dull metallic sound, the short sword blade parts got cleanly cut, leaving only the grip which is still inside the bandit boss hand. The bandit boss who can only look dumfounded at his ‘used to be’ short sword then receives a sweep from Renya and get held down in place.
“To be frank…… we don’t really want the identity of the person escorted here to be leaked out“
The sudden change in his emotions doesn’t show up in his expression. From the escort point of view, Renya talks to them in the totally normal way.
“Is that so? Thank you for your understanding. It really helped us a lot. Expect to be rewarded soon in the future from the ‘back channel’…”
“Oi what’s with that ‘don’t ask for details’ and giving them their reward from the back channel? Isn’t that rude toward these saviors who give us help on such a dire moment?”
“In the first place you guys fails when it comes to information gathering. Don’t you realize anything when they introduce themselves?”
With that response from the escort which made the hooded knight angry, he ordered that escort to stand back. Then the hooded knight moves forward.
“Yeah that would be me…… Is there anything about it?”
Because of the hood, his expression is hard to read but looking at his smile under the hood, Renya knows that he feels happy now.
And then after thinking for a while, the hooded knight opens up his hood and shows his face to Renya. He is a blonde haired handsome young man with a noble looks. Even Renya can’t help recognizes his handsome face.
His almond shaped eyes gives a big impression to Renya but what he said next gave an even bigger impression.
The escort soldier does a facepalm while heaving a sigh. This prince seems to be that sort of troublemaker from how the soldier reacts but to Renya and Floria, they got a different reaction toward this happening.
The flag of meeting a person from a high class had risen but they didn’t expect the gender to be swapped like this. What a confusing false flag.
