「Chapter 020」

“All joking aside. At present, this world is very stable…… however, people from Japan are being summoned here.”

“Oh, Ren, I’ve already met him. He seems dead set on releasing the Seven Stars.”

“That’s right. One of them has been sealed on this country, and there had been signs of people planning to set it free.”

……Let’s not say anything yet.

“I don’t exactly know what releasing the Seven Stars means, but there are several countries that are against doing so. Maybe the stars were world bossed during the game era and they posed a major threat to the inhabitants of this world……”

“But there are reports of the sealed areas undergoing enrichment after the stars were freed.”

“Yeah, that’s true. From what I’ve heard from those that lived during the Genesis, I think they are trying to cover something up with their benevolence.”

“Well, that’s possible.”

For the time being, Oink also seemed against releasing the seals.

In that case, she were less likely to be hostile.

Moreover, from a player’s point of view, it’s kind of fishy that releasing ancient beings only resulted in something good.

“Hey, there’s something I have to tell you, so can you hear me out?”

“What is it? ……I wonder.”

This pig never wanted to miss out on anything.

So told her about what Rue had Cromwell swear to keep a secret.

Nothing was left out, including the part about defeating the seventh star.

“………Seriously.”

“Is the human tongue too complex for a pig to understand?”

“Yes. I understand what you said, but insta-killing it…… those broken abilities from back there had such an effect……”

“Well, they are worthy of a legend.”

“Why is Bonbon the only one remembered? It’s so unfair.”

“Boss, this is a marathon not a race”

“How so?”

“It should be fine if I obverse the seal situation with Rue for the time being, right?”

“That’s right. I’ll try to find out what going on, but I don’t believe that there are any more stars in this country.”

“I’ll take a quick trip over to the capital before heading to the next country.”

One of the neighboring countries had been a barrier wasteland before the Star was set free. Now, its become an agricultural and natural paradise for decades.

The country I was currently in was called Endresia. While it was challenging to grow crops here, the mining industry and salt production propped up the national economy.

Perhaps it could’ve been the next natural paradise had the seventh star been released.

That was the reason a sizable portion of the nobility summoned Ren to liberate that bastard dragon.

Our conversation eventually turned to the topic I was most interested in.

“Where are Syun and Daria now?”

“That’s……”

She hesitated for some reason.

The worst-case scenario came to mind, but both of them were players, so they shouldn’t have died that easy.

Based on Oink, they shouldn’t have reached the end of their lives either.

“Please, tell me.”

“Syun and Daria and still together. Both of them are in a county two nations away from this one.”

“I see, that’s quite far away. Can’t you get in touch with them?”

“Currently, I can’t get a hold of them…… Ah, don’t worry about Daria too much. They are in the Elven nation.”

“Is that so?”

“As far as I know, the country was founded by the elven leader from Rue’s past. Perhaps Daria has a high position in that country.”

“Do you want to stop me from seeking retribution? Don’t you want to see Daria, Syun, and me going at it?”

Those two will probably always be together.

Not to mention, my personality prevented me from blindly retaliating against the elven county.

That was the responsible response. But, just because I wasn’t going to kill them didn’t mean that I’d forgiven them.

The elves from that time probably weren’t alive anymore, and it would’ve been wrong to place the blame on their descendants.

But I didn’t know for sure.

Because I didn’t know that, it was my responsibility to find out. That’s all.

“I don’t know how I should feel when you’re making that face.”

“For me, I only differentiate between enemies and allies.”

“That’s too extreme. However, those two were your closest allies.”

“Well. They’ll understand. Of I’m dead set on going to war with the elves, I’m sure they’ll betray that country for me.”

“Mighty high confidence you got there. Those two said they came to this world before me. Their time spent in this world is longer than our time on earth. Are you sure those two will follow you?”

“Well…… they won’t oppose me if I’m a bit hostile, right?”

“While they aren’t as aggressive as you, Bonbon, they still reached the counter stop.”

“I’m level 399.”

“That’s scary.”

“Also, I’ve increased the number of abilities I possess after coming here.”

“……Please don’t destroy the world.”

“Roger that.”

At what point did making people take responsibility equate to war?

Everything would be fine so long as they looked the other way.

If they didn’t want to lower their heads, I wouldn’t necessarily use force, but there would come a day when they asked for my help.

Even I could tell that the world was starting to move in an instresting direction.

No matter what happens, a tumultuous era was on the horizon.

According to the legend, I disappeared along with the concealed gods.

Although I was the latecomer, those gods returning with me was a possibility.

“I’m heading to the capital soon, but what about you, Oink?”

“I’m on my way to visit Saltberg.”

“Oh, I see.”

Might as well report one that incident while we were here.

The guild manager said that he’d make a report, but I didn’t trust him.

And there was that lord’s involvement.

“It seems that a rather amusing event has occurred.”

“Did you get a report after all?”

“It might be time to reorganize the staff, including the feudal lord. Our inadequacy has caused Bonbon some trouble.”

“……Is the president the greatest power on the continent?”

“No, my jurisdiction only extends to this country. It’s a different organization beyond that.”

“Really…… So are you more powerful than the king?”

“I have enough confidence to win a war if it came down to it.”

Wow. Wasn’t I just mocking and hitting this person a while ago.

I was a bit cruel being so violent to such a beautiful woman.

“Well, I’m done here and it’s time to go.”

“I’ll leave the bill toー.”

“I’ll leave it to you.”

“That’s not what I expected?!”

You had money, didn’t you?

“Then I’ll go back to my inn, but please speak to Rue later. You may be different, but to her, you’re a friend she wants to meet the most.”

“Of course. There are things I’m curious about and same-sex friends are valuable.”

“A sow’s friend……”

“Excuse me?”

“No, no. It’s fine.”

“However…… I’m just glad I got to see you. If you have the time, let’s do this again.”

“Ah, sure. Hmm, Oink, could you use your authority to turn my guild card silver? It’s black right now.”

“A black card is a rarity. It’s higher in terms of power, right?”

“Then, how about black and silver?”

“You want me to make a new card?”

“Please, Pork-chan, I’ll give you some acorns.”

“I can’t help it……”

Really, you’ll actually do it.

It was a good thing I actually had the acorns.

I gathered a few of them when I was living in Rue’s house.

Actually, I collected several wild vegetables and mushrooms.

“See you next time.”

“Yes, one of these days. As for the card…… you can collect it when you visit the capital.”

There were some hangover traits, but she was really different from the Oink I knew.

I never met them in the real world, so this was natural, but the discrepancy still left me something to think about as I returned to the inn.

I wonder if my best friends have also changed during their time in this world.

***************

“Oh my god…… Bonbon hasn’t changed at all. I don’t think I can win if Rue is my opponent.”
