I’ve Moved to the Capital
Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)
“Alright, it’s a success.” (Leon)
Leon nodded in satisfaction, having successfully used the teleportation spell.
They were in Zeta’s forge in Badacca. Leon had marked the spot for the teleportation, secretly inscribing a magic circle on the wall. As long as the magic circle did not degrade and disappear, it could be used repeatedly. The reason he chose this forge as a teleportation point was because of its messy state, which made it unlikely that anyone would notice and erase the magic circle. Of course, if Zeta had known about it, she would have definitely erased it. And there was no denying that this was illegal trespassing.
“!” (Arc/Iris)
The twins were startled by the sudden shift in scenery and looked around, confused.
“Zeta-oneechan, we’re intruding!” (Leon)
Leon called out toward the back of the forge. However, there was no response.
“Maybe she’s not here?” (Leon)
He entered the workshop at the back, but Zeta was nowhere to be found. After a while of waiting comfortably, still no sign of her returning. He wondered if she had gone to a dungeon for mining or something, so he went outside the forge to check, and that was when he noticed it. There was a notice pinned to the door.
It read:
“I’ve moved to the capital, Zeta”
“Eh?” (Leon)
Leon let out a strange sound in surprise at the unexpected turn of events.
“Maybe it’s because the dungeon disappeared and there are fewer people around?” (Leon)
Perhaps her business had tanked, and that was why she had moved. Looking around inside the forge, the tools of her trade were still there. This forge was likely her own property, and she was probably leaving them as they were, just in case. It would be difficult to transport everything to the capital, but if she were to set up from scratch there, it would certainly require a lot of money.
“Ah, but with all that adamantite, I guess she would have enough money.” (Leon)
Either way, it meant that Leon would not be able to have a sword made for him here.
“Well, it can’t be helped. I’ll go to the capital.” (Leon)

After staying at an inn in Badacca for a night, Leon set off the next morning. His next destination was the capital. The capital of the Stea Kingdom was about two weeks away by carriage from Badacca. As usual, Leon considered running there, but after seeing something interesting recently, he decided to try imitating it.
“A ship?” (Arc)
“What’s that?” (Iris)
It was a small ship made using earth magic. Once aboard, the ship would use earth magic to manipulate the ground for propulsion. Specifically, the ground behind the ship would be raised into a slope, and the ship would slide down it.
“Wow, it works! And it’s pretty fast.” (Leon)
It was something an elf had demonstrated, but it turned out to be far more comfortable than Leon had imagined. A ship slicing through the wind, sliding over the earth. The twins seemed to like it as well, sitting side by side at the bow of the ship, laughing happily.
“Hello!” (Leon)
“Whoa, what’s that!? Wait, a ship!?” (Traveler)
As they passed by merchants and travelers, who were surprised, Leon and the twins raced along the road toward the capital. After staying a night at a roadside inn, they were already nearing the capital by the following morning.
“Leon!” (Arc/Iris)
The twins, still sitting at the bow and looking forward, cheerfully called out to Leon as they turned around.
“What is it?” (Leon)
“Over there.” (Arc/Iris)
The direction the two pointed. It was about 500 meters ahead. For beastkin, who had good eyesight, it was a perfectly visible distance, and there were many humans gathered there. Of course, Leon, who had mastered the thief class, could also clearly make them out.
“Are they fighting?” (Leon)
When he strained his eyes to look, it seemed that two factions were clashing. They were slashing at each other with swords, and magic was flying through the air. It was clearly a deadly battle. Perhaps some merchants were being attacked by bandits. Such incidents were not uncommon, but it was rare for them to escalate into life-or-death combat.
Usually, the merchants handed over part of their money or goods, and the bandits, satisfied, would leave. The merchants had guards as well, and if it turned into a fight, the bandits would not get away unscathed, so both sides typically settled it there. And if the opposing group was a large squad, the bandits would not even make a move from the beginning.
“It’s a hassle, but should I step in?” (Leon)
Leon accelerated the ship. As he got closer, it seemed that both sides had noticed him.
“Hey, what is that!?” (??)
“A ship is coming this way!?” (??)
“This is solid ground!” (??)
Surprised, both camps involuntarily stopped their movements. Taking that as an opportunity, Leon charged straight in with the ship.
“Uwoooooooh!?” (Both Sides)
Though they had been in a chaotic melee, they screamed and hastily scattered to the sides. Leon’s ship sped through the middle at full speed and then continued on out of sight.
Leon had leapt off the ship together with his tamed beasts. They spun through the air and landed cleanly.
“Wh-what are these brats…?” (??)
“Children…?” (??)
One side was unmistakably bandits, judging by their appearance. Although their equipment was oddly well-prepared, it was not unusual for a named bandit group. As for the other faction, they did not appear to be a merchant caravan. At a glance, they looked like an ordinary traveling party, but they were clearly wearing high-quality weapons and armor. The horses they rode had beautiful coats and were well-trained.
The carriage they were protecting was not flashy, but to a trained eye, it was a high-end model with excellent functionality. They were probably nobles traveling incognito. From among them, a man cautiously approached Leon and spoke.
“…Who are you?” (Man)
“I’m Leon. I’m more or less an adventurer.” (Leon)
“An adventurer. Then, I would like to request your assistance right now.” (Man)
“You want reinforcements?” (Leon)
“Exactly. Naturally, you will be paid properly.” (Man)
Leon had intended to do so anyway, so…
“I accept your request.” (Leon)
