Chapter 56 - Absolute Freedom ~ a corner of it ~
Freedom.
But still, one should not forget about the word [Responsibility] to go along with that.
The starting point of this capital city was a ruined old castle.
It was born at first as the base point for dungeon exploration purpose which in time grown into a city. A lot of wanderer and warrior use this city as their assembly point which in turn moisten the city economy.
And eventually, an adventurer king turned the city into a kingdom.
The newborn kingdom inherit the king vision about freedom and it eventually grows into a force that is comparable to the surrounding kingdoms. The new kingdom develops their own unique culture from the mingling of many people from various origins and race. And reaching this age, this is how Tosminia are commonly known.
“…… And then there is me who heard such kind of history but……”
Renya and Floria are in the border of being surprised and being disgusted from their first impression of the kingdom just a moment after they pass the city gate that they can help whisper out those comments.
This should be the result from the sudden need to expanse the city. There are no clear road and section arrangement as the result of the reckless expansion and it definitely will give some adverse effect to the resident but the chaos also gives a feel of intimacy towards it. The people that walk back and forth on the road came from a variety of races. Looking at such scene, this kingdom really deserves to be called a kingdom with great diversity. No other kingdom can even hold its candle.
But even if it manages to preserve its appearance as a kingdom, Renya still somewhat feel a bit uneasy with the thing regarding public order in this city.
As the result of the jumbled up buildings, there are a lot of complicated alleyways stretched far wide inside the city. Knowledge in the local area would give a big advantage if a fight inside town breaks out as Renya thinks.
“I don’t really hate this kind of atmosphere from a city but not so when regarding the security aspect. Everyone, for the period of us staying in this town, please refrain yourself from acting independently okay. Especially Therese must pay special attention”
“Because the town layout is just a haven for pickpocket and kidnapper. I feel that, for people who are familiar with the area around here, kidnapping little girl like Therese and running away successfully would be a cinch for them”
“Of course I will but just in case okay? I know that Therese is strong and have ways to protect herself but acting independently has its limits. So please pay attention to it”
“I-I understand desu. I would not do anything that will made Oniisan and Oneesan worried desu”
“Uuu, I kinda feel happy but not at the same time desu……”
“Come again!? W-w-w-w-why did it comes to that desuka!?”
Renya say it out loud without any feeling of shame.
Should one act like that when they become a god? Many questions would rise up from seeing his action.
In the end, Therese can only yield under Renya intense selfishness. She can only let Renya hold her tiny hand without being able to let go until they finally found a lodging that manage to satisfy Renya demand in security and hygiene after a full one hour of walking around.
After they found a place to stay, they quickly start doing the thing that had already become a custom for them: looking for job at the government office.
But well, there is difference tough. The number of request is just on a different level.
Even the job requests with basic subjects like those, the number of request are already overwhelming. Seems like the number of job requests do grow larger as the population grows bigger.
“Au”
Their height is almost the same but the girl gives a little bit more childish impression than Therese.
But, the unexpected thing is that, even when she is only as tall as Therese, her breast area has grown up quite a lot.
Well, he is quite interested with that but, what attracts Renya the most from the girl is a pair of sword that is hanging in the girl’s hip.
“I’m sorry desu, are you alright desuka?”
Compared to Therese, the little girl answers her with a flat tone devoid of emotion.
(Eros: Kuudere big breasted loli appears!!)
“Regardless of her age, she really is composed…… or should I say she is forcing herself to?”
This world isn’t kind to everyone. There are many people died from monster and bandit attack which would make their family member lose them and not everybody is willing to help others in need.
Well, even knowing such kind of thing won’t make things different anyway as he can’t do much either.
Looking at Therese whose expression turned dark from seeing such scene, Renya silently pokes her hip with his finger.
“Don’t be so gloomy. If we are fated to meet again, we’ll eventually meet again in the future. But now isn’t the time. The next time we meet, if we have things we can do to help her then just do it, okay?”
“I am not the type who will help any people that I meet indiscriminately. Forcing my hand to help people that don’t ask for help is not a really good thing for me, be it according to my personality or my status”
Regarding those people who still cheer themselves up even if they have to grit their own teeth while crawling forward, to forcefully help them out of whim only to satisfy oneself ego no matter what the reason is, Renya thinks that it was just an act of profanity toward those people way of life.
On the other hand, against those people who doesn’t even try to stand up by themselves and always demand support from those around them, he will definitely not gives those people any help either. He simply doesn’t want to burden himself with another baggage. He doesn’t have any strength to spare for those kinds of degraded people who don’t even fulfill their own responsibility.
“Is that so desuka?”
“…… Of course desu!”
But the other girls in the party gaze at the two dialogue with a complicated expression in their face.
“…… Moreover, her age is in the dangerous line which is still not clear whether it is fine to put his hand on her or not” Brenda adds.
“You girls over there, hold on okay”
“What I mean before with a hunch of meeting again is not between that girl and me okay”
“It just like what Floria said. Why don’t you realize it already that you have a talent of getting troubles when it is concerned about a girl?”
Too bad for him, he just doesn’t have any allies in this situation.
(Come! Save me my angel!)
“You know Oniisan…… did Oniisan feel happy having little girl like that girl before and me as a partner desuka?”
That’s weird, he felt that he hasn’t done anything wrong but he suddenly feel that he had already drown under the depth.
“Eh, isn’t that Renya-san and Floria-san right!”
“Eh?”
“Darel and Arda-san!? Why are you guys here?”
(The three warrior from Renya’s first big mission where he met Brenda)
“Oo, I see that you also go together with Miss Brenda. It’s good to see you healthy like this”
With log like arms and bearded face, Arda-san who looks like a mountain man laughs heartily hearing that.
“Why did you guys being too loud…… Oo, isn’t that Renya-dono and Floria-dono! Ah Brenda-dono is also present”
Renya bows his head toward Greis for his seniority and gives him a polite greeting.
No mistake, he must have gotten stronger from before. Renya’s nature as the war god naturally tells him that.
Because of that, despite being a higher existence himself, Renya still treat him with respect.
“Is there any trouble?”
Renya looks back to the girls behind him, everyone nods at once seeing him.
“Is that so? Then the time is also just right too. We know a good restaurant on the area so let’s talk while having lunch there”
Renya is getting excited with this first event in the new continent. (Dragon village is not counted)
