Chapter 366 Traveling By Train Can Be intimidating

Different from when I run by myself, the sound of the wind blowing is quiet. That’s all I could hear in the train, and traveling underground by train is really comfortable. I don’t have to run and get sweaty, I just have to sit down until I arrive. Some people may say that they have a lot of free time when traveling by train, but I think that’s too much of a luxury. People can’t live without tranquility, you know?

「Excuse me, can you go that way, stupid Nell? Your uselessly huge breasts are pressing on Goshujin-sama and making him suffer, you know? I think it’s better for you to take a lesson from Touko-chan and learn how to be considerate.」

Ara, what a coincidence. I also want you to learn how to be considerate. It’s common sense for a married couple to sit side by side in harmony. I think it’s improper to get into our space and complain about it. Ah, before you learn how to be considerate, you should learn about common sense first. I’m sorry that I got the order wrong.」

「F-Fufu. I think you also lack common sense from the point that you were preaching about common sense to the Great Eight Demons. Besides, people with common sense won’t cling like this in public. Hey, did you know that?」

「With that logic, I think something is wrong with your head since you are also doing it even though you’re not a couple. If you can understand it with that poor head of yours, you should move to another seat now.」

「………」

Yeah, people can’t live without tranquility…. It’s been almost an hour since we got on the train, but the two of them have been bickering like this with me in the middle. Only a small part of me is happy to be sandwiched between them, and most of the rest of me is being tormented. Can you guys please stop attacking me unconsciously in the heat of your bickering? I’m still alive because I’m healing myself with magic, but I would die if I get an unexpected critical hit, you know? Normally, I’d be dead already, you know?

「You guys, just stop it alre――」

「「――Deris (Goshujin-sama), (please) shut up!」」

「Ah, yes….」

I tried to stop them, but only at such a time that they showed such a perfect unity, so I couldn’t stop them. Also, I’m hesitating to ask the disciples for help since the opponents are two Great Eight Demons-class who are in a state of agitation. There’s no escape place in this closed space, and if a battle were to unfold, this train would turn into an iron coffin.

「This is an on-board food service. Would you like some tasty lunch boxes, drinks, and potions?」

「Excuse me, I want three MP potions. The most expensive one please.」

「Thank you for your patronage.」

That’s why the only thing left for me to do is to be patient. I use the golem mobile sales, which for some reason appear in the train regularly, to secure a means of recovering my MP. I don’t know how long it will take until we arrived, but as long as I don’t lose my mind, I’ll be able to manage somehow.

「I want this limited edition meat lunch box and tea!」

「I want this snack set. Ah, this cup sake too!」

…… You guys are actually on good terms, aren’t you?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While Deris and the others are in the middle of a fierce battle, the four people, Haruna and the others, are sitting comfortably in a place a little away from it. Lilyvia is snatching Nell’s meat, and Nell is snatching Lilyvia’s snack in return. Anyway, they are making so much noise. Naturally, the four people are aware that Deris is in a pinch that he’s caught in the quarrel between Nell and Lily.

「They are really close!」

「Wait, are you blind, Haruna? Are you really saying that after seeing that mess?」

Muu, I’m always serious.」

「Now, now, please don’t fight. It seems that Deris-san is fine, so let’s just focus on not wasting our energy. We don’t know what’s going to happen when we reach our destination after all.」

「Is it okay not to stop them? Chinatsu, I thought you would stop them while having a reluctant face and preparedness for death as usual.」

「Err, was I always like that…?」

At least, that was what reflected in Hund’s eyes. Hund was looking at Chinatsu with a very kind gaze.

「Actually, I tried to stop them a few minutes ago, thinking that it would be dangerous for Deris-san…. But, Deris-san stopped me just before I could call out to them. He made letters with Reflect Fortress, saying that I should stop.」

「Ah, that’s the magic Chinatsu used in Damaya, right? I was surprised at the building at that time. You can also make letters with it, huh.」

「You mean it can be a shield, a message board, or a building?」

「It’s the highest level of Radiant Magic, so it’s not something you’d normally use very often….」

「Hmm, let’s set that aside for now. In conclusion, Deris-dono is fine despite how it looks, right?」

「Well, maybe. Ah, that’s right. He also tossed this at that time.」

Chinatsu puts out a book in front of everyone.

「What’s that?」

「It seems to be a tourist guidebook for the island of the Dragon God…」

「「「You can do sightseeing normally, huh….」」」

The territories ruled by the Great Eight Demons surprisingly have a lot of sight-seeing areas. By the way, there’s a picture of the islands drawn on the cover of the guidebook.

「You see, I read through it while everyone was eating lunch. There was a message from Deris-san, saying that everyone should learn about it, so I would like to explain it now.」

((Ah, she’s going to start a lesson.))

The moment Chinatsu opened the guidebook, Haruna and Touko thought about the same thing and made the same expression at the same time. For Chinatsu, this will help her raise her Skills by teaching them. She’s trying to make it as easy as possible for them to understand and remember the important points, and she’s cracking her knuckles with great enthusiasm. It seems that such a gesture of Chinatsu was reflected as an object of fear to the two, and they trembled even more than the vibration of the train.

「Come on, there’s no need to be that dispirited. This guidebook is mostly pictures, and it has a lot of information on delicious local food. Well, it seems that Deris-san prepared this in anticipation of your reaction…. I think you’ll feel better if you think of it as preparation for sightseeing rather than studying.」

「Delicious food…!」

「Wait, Haruna! It’s bait! If you bite at it, you’ll be tied to the desk!」

「You guys, just how bad are you at studying…?」

Although it is collectively called the Dragon God’s Island, the territory of the 『Dragon King』 Rimudo Baha is actually an archipelago consisting of eight islands of various sizes. Dragons fly over the islands day and night, making it difficult to travel by airship. Looking from the outside, it’s a dangerous area no matter how you look at it. Even so, many people live here and continue to coexist with dragons. If you follow the rules laid by the Dragon King, there would be no harm to the visitors. And since the rich and beautiful nature remains unspoiled, the number of tourists has increased to the extent that this guidebook is made――

――――BOOM!

「Hey, their heads exploded and black smoke started coming out.」

「It’s okay. It’s just an early symptom, so I’ll keep going.」

「E-Early symptom…!?」

By exchanging tourist spot information and gourmet information in between, Haruna and Touko managed to get through the borderline between life and death.
