Welcome to Liberto

Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

They were forcibly made to ride the carriage, while being taken somewhere, and when passing through this forest, they were attacked by a strong monster, and their guards were killed. The carriage was destroyed, and as the slaves who had been riding together were being killed one after another, the two were also wounded by the monster but barely escaped with their lives and hid inside this cave.

“It’s been quite a tough time, huh.” (Leon)

“……Nn” (Twins)

Choosing to pass through the forest instead of going along the highway was probably because this way was a shortcut. Maybe they thought that as long as they had guards, they wouldn’t have to fear monsters. However, that slave trader, it seems, treated the slaves quite cruelly.

If they made even the slightest mistake, or if something displeased him, they were immediately subjected to violence. No wonder their bodies were covered in old scars, Leon thought as he nodded in understanding. He healed them while he was at it.

“You’ve probably regained enough stamina by now, right? We’re leaving.” (Leon)

There was no way he could leave these children alone. Leon intended to take them to town. The two looked at each other anxiously.

“Don’t worry. Monsters in this forest are nothing but small fry to us.” (Leon)

As if saying, ‘Leave it to me’, Sura smacked its body with its tentacle.

“Or do you want to stay here?” (Leon)

“!?” (Twins)

The two shook their heads vigorously from side to side.

“Then, follow me.” (Leon)

“OK.” (Twins)

They seemed to have become a bit more obedient. Perhaps thanks to the bread and soup. Leon led the two out of the cave. Immediately, a monster approached. It was a boar monster.

“Bufuooh!”

With rough breathing, it charged forward.

“!?” (Twins)

The twins panicked and tried to run back into the cave they had just left. Leon grabbed their collars and stopped them.

“There’s nothing to worry about. Look, watch.” (Leon)

Sura advanced toward the boar monster. For the small slime, the boar was more than ten times its size.

“…” (Twins)

The twins instinctively covered their faces with their hands. However, at the moment of impact, the one sent flying was the boar.

“Bufi!?”

The twins’ eyes widened.

“Strong.” (Boy)

“Amazing.” (Girl)

Receiving their praise, Sura puffed up its body as if saying, ‘Heheh’. It seemed to be the slime equivalent of puffing out its chest with pride. Then, Leon lifted one twin with each arm.

“If we just walk normally, it’ll take too long.” (Leon)

“?” (Twins)

Placing Sura on his head, Leon kicked off the ground.

“!?” (Twins)

With the sudden acceleration, the twins gasped.

A boy, who still belonged to the category of children, was carrying both of them and running at incredible speed. The twins looked up at Leon in disbelief, but he wore a completely calm expression.

“Amazing.” (Boy)

“Fast.” (Girl)

Much faster than a carriage, sometimes even leaving monsters behind, the twins became excited and breathed heavily. Occasionally, monsters attacked head-on, but Leon easily swept them away.

After running for about 30 minutes, the trees finally came to an end. It seemed they had exited the forest. Leon arrived at his destination, the town.

“…Was it always such a big city?” (Leon)

Before him stood a large city, protected by solid walls. Apparently, it had developed significantly over the past hundred years. As he approached the gate with the twins, a guard, looking surprised, spoke.

“Did you really travel with just children?” (Guard)

“I’m an adventurer, after all.” (Leon)

Showing his guild card, which served as identification, the guard was astonished.

“A kid like this is D-rank?” (Guard)

“Anyway, welcome to Liberto.” (Guard)

“Liberto?” (Leon)

The city Leon knew was called Melissa.

“Melissa? When was that?” (Guard)

The guard explained.

“This city exists as it does today thanks to the hero Leon Liberto-sama, who protected the people from the Demon King’s army a hundred years ago. To honor his achievements, the city’s name was changed to Liberto.” (Guard)

This was, in fact, the city Leon had saved in his previous life. At that time, it had been a small city, but due to its geographically important location, it became a target of the Demon King’s army.

No way, they actually named the city after me?

Liberto was Leon’s family name from his past life. Originally a commoner without a family name, he was granted one after proving his valor in the war against the Demon King’s army. Not that he had any attachment to names, he just picked something random that came to mind.

Entering the city, there was almost no trace of how it looked a hundred years ago. It was full of people and bustling with activity.

“So many people…” (Twins)

Not used to the noise of a big city, the twins hid behind Leon.

“…Now then. What do you two want to do from here?” (Leon)

“What do… we want to do?” (Twins)

They looked puzzled.

“The slave trader is probably dead in the forest. You two are free now.” (Leon)

“Free…” (Twins)

The twins exchanged glances.

Well, they must be confused being told that so suddenly. Should I take them to an orphanage for now?

Just as he was thinking that—

“…Can we stay… together? Is it not allowed?” (Twins)

“Hmm.” (Leon)

Leon was an adventurer. It wouldn’t be practical to take children along on adventures.

“We’ll do anything!” (Twins)

The two desperately pleaded. Even Sura joined in with a ‘Is it not allowed?’ expression. It seemed to have grown emotionally attached to the twins.

If only I could make them familiars like Sura…

Just as Leon thought that—

—The boy became a familiar.

—The girl became a familiar.

…Huh? Didn’t they just become familiars?

No, no, that couldn’t be possible. Familiars were monsters tamed by a tamer. That meant only monsters could become familiars.

…Or could beastkin be an exception?

If they had become familiars, he should be able to check their status through appraisal.

Leon tried confirming it.

“…Seriously? I can see it.” (Leon)

And their stats were clearly beyond those of ordinary beastkin children. Becoming Leon’s familiars must have rapidly strengthened them.

“…?” (Twins)

Noticing the change, the twins curiously looked down at their bodies. Now, taking them along on adventures wouldn’t be an issue, Leon thought. No, actually, their stats were already on par with high-ranking adventurers.

“…Alright. If you insist that much, I’ll grant your wish.” (Leon)

“Yeah!” (Twins)

The twins happily hugged Leon. It seemed they had completely taken a liking to him.
