Is this really just an RPG? !

For an adventurer, coming to a new city means that there are a series of tedious affairs to deal with.

For example, looking for a suitable residence; another example is finding the "Adventurer's Association" in this city; Work.

But I never thought about it so much.

Maybe because I'm richer?

As a brief note, the money was financed by various gangs of thieves on the main road.

I am really grateful to these lovely guys. As the highest respect, I think I should stock up on more magic scrolls to entertain the people I will meet in the future. So, I quickly made a decision to take the "Spellcasters Association" as the first goal, go there to sort out the mess on my body, and then think about where to go next.

Of course, if I act alone as usual, I will start immediately after making a decision.

— After all, Qiuqiu always walks with me.

But it's different now.

Besides me there were two other women in the team.

Emily wanted to go to the Adventurer's Guild to find information on the materials she needed.

——It is the material used to make potions that can change her body back to its original appearance. According to her research report, it seems that it is not enough for "permanent ice crystals", "cold soil", and "ice dragon's claw armor". ", "Branches of the Nest" and so on.

He was going to change his clothes so that he could visit Lilith, the manager of the Si Harbor.

——It is almost Lilith's habit to visit the city manager every time she goes to a city, even this time is no exception, but I heard her mention that something happened to the manager's family not long ago , I don't know the details, only know that the owner has changed.

Anyway, neither of these things has much to do with me.

Even if I wanted to help I couldn't.

"That's why the master, His Royal Highness Lilith, and Miss Emily acted separately."

"That's right."

I nodded, confirming Qiuqiu's guess.

But what he got was a pair of blank eyes.

"To put it bluntly, it's because those two are jobs that the master is not good at."

"Eh……"

"Dealing with nobles, communicating with adventurers to find information, this kind of thing is left to the master, and it will probably end as soon as you open your mouth."

"Don't say it too much! Although it is true..."

Qiuqiu is telling the truth, neither of these two items is my specialty, and the only thing I can do is probably to trigger an incident by triggering my physique forcibly through an incident that I don’t know where it came from, so as to achieve the goal of solving something. The process may be a bit cumbersome, but the result is always good.

"Go directly to the destination?"

"If possible, I still want to go around a little bit, the time is not too urgent."

As I said this, I started wandering aimlessly on the street.

After all, I don’t know the way to the Spellcaster’s Association, so I just walk casually like this, and when the two situations are really “it’s late” or “I walked to the gate of the Association for no reason”, I will think about what I plan to do . Anyway, it is also a port city, no matter what, it is no worse than Yvette City.

Just like this commercial street, it is even more powerful than Yvette City in terms of the degree of excitement.

The only pity is that I am not interested in any of the things sold here. I can’t find any shops related to magic in this commercial street. It’s not food, clothing, daily necessities, or some high-end jewelry shops. Even if it was Lilith and Emily, they wouldn't be a little bit curious!

"Qiuqiu, is there anything you want to see?"

"Hmm... Although I really want to try such jewelry, it's a pity that the human size doesn't fit me."

"Eh?"

I looked at Qiuqiu, surprised by what she just said.

In fact, I always thought that Qiuqiu had almost no desire except for eating. This is the first time I heard her express the emotion of "longing".

"Master! Let's go buy some food!"

"Ah, oh...but..."

"Let's go, let's go! There are great souvenirs in the Seaport! I remember it's...well, something called ice fish jelly."

"ha?"

"The jelly made from ice fish tastes great."

Qiuqiu's words didn't sound very emotional, maybe this information was found from the endless library.

But judging from the name alone, it is really unacceptable. Icefish probably refers to a special fish in the waters near Iceland. They can survive in extremely low temperature waters, so they were given such a simple and easy-to-understand name. The biggest characteristic of this kind of fish as an ingredient seems to be the taste?

I don't know the specific situation, after all, I am not a foodie.

"What are the ingredients for that kind of food in the endless library?"

"Oh, the brain of an icefish."

"Brains... um! Brains?"

"It's called ice fish jelly because it looks like jelly."

"...Sorry, I can't accept a normal one."

I really don't understand why people here have such strange tastes.

I thought the pie eaten by Miss Brown, the captain of the Grace, was scary enough, but I didn't expect there to be anything worse than that.

The Principality of Atuqiu is really a terrifying place... No, to be precise, the entire Lindsay Continent is terrible!

"Master, you are really picky eaters."

"It's not that I'm a picky eater, it's... eh?"

Just when I was about to refute Qiuqiu's words.

My clothes were grabbed by someone.

Turning his head to look over, he found a boy in simple clothes, holding a bag in his right hand, inside the bag were several small boxes. It seems that the boy is here to sell something in exchange for money to fill his stomach. Knowing the existence of such a child can also understand his behavior.

I'm just a little curious why I fell in love with myself.

"gentlemen."

"how?"

I thought I was going to take the initiative to attack, but unexpectedly, the boy spoke up by himself.

"Want to buy a box of matches?"

"..."

Why matches.

After thinking about ten thousand possibilities, I never thought that it would be a match!

If it's night, if it's winter, wouldn't it be an explosion of déjà vu!

"Hey! Master! Give me some feedback!"

"..."

She glanced at Qiuqiu helplessly, because she couldn't talk to her because of the people around her.

Originally, I planned to just buy the products recommended by the other party, but seeing the current situation, I suddenly paid attention to something else.

"How much are all the matches?"

"Thirty coppers, sir."

"So……"

I was going to take out the money, and after a long time spent on gold coins and silver coins, I finally chose the latter.

"Here are three silver coins. The first one is for buying matches, and the second one is for hiring you. I need you to do something for me."

"Please, please, sir."

The boy looked very excited, but he didn't immediately reach out to take the silver coin in my hand.

"Use the third silver coin to help me buy some fruit, that's the one."

"I understand...but?"

"I'm an outsider, I leave it to you."

"Well! Understood, sir, please wait a moment."

The boy only took one silver coin, and then ran towards the direction I pointed. After a few minutes, he ran back with a bag of fruit, handed me the matches and fruit, and then took the two silver coins from my hand .

"Thank you very much, sir, and I wish you a pleasant journey."

The boy said and made a prayer gesture.

Like some kind of religion, very familiar.

Too bad I can't recall it at all.

After waiting for the boy to leave, I threw the bag of matches into my backpack, then took out a fruit and handed it to Qiuqiu.

"Thank you, master! This pomegranate fruit is really big."

"Eggplant and pomegranate?"

I looked at the thing that looked a bit like an apple in the bag.

"Well, a fruit that can only grow in cold regions. Its effect is similar to that of wine. After eating, it can make people's body warm, but it won't affect thinking like wine. Basically, it is a special fruit that can only be seen in Iceland."

"That's it..."

I didn't specify what it was at the time, but I didn't expect to be noticed by that boy.

"Why did the master do this?"

"Eh?"

"I mean hired, hired, and if the master is willing, it's fine to just give a handful of gold coins!"

Qiuqiu asked me this way.

She didn't seem to understand my previous behavior.

In fact, I don't quite understand it, but I think this is more appropriate.

"Well... I don't know too well, I just think that if you give a child gold coins, something may happen."

"That's right."

"I don't think so much anymore."

I put the eggplant and durian fruit under my body into the backpack, and after a little exercise, I took a step.

"It's almost time, we should go to the Spellcaster Association."

"After all, I still want to go..."

"dislike?"

"I hate the atmosphere of that kind of place."

Qiuqiu explained it this way.

I can't understand what she's referring to, I can only guess the circumstances.

But even so, this decision cannot be changed. After all, there are not many magic scrolls left in my backpack. Even with the Gungirn, due to the instability of this magic weapon, if you want to truly ensure your own safety, you still need to use the power of the magic scroll.

It would be great if one day I could release magic at will.

"Hey! It would be nice if one day I could release magic at will."

"Owner?"

"No... nothing."

"I seem to hear a sigh, what is it?"

"Ah, it's not important or not, and it's not a problem that can be solved at the moment. Compared to this... Qiuqiu, do you know where the Spellcaster's Association is?"

"Master, I have only been here for the first time."

"Oh... eh?"

Looking at Qiuqiu complaining to me.

I seem to, probably, might, should, maybe... realize a very important issue?

Neither Qiuqiu nor I know the way.

Perhaps, for adventurers, the greatest enemy in life is not a vicious monster; nor is it a vicious trap; nor is it the intrigue between people. What adventurers always face, and what they hate the most, should be the gift of "misleading from the guide princess"!

Simply put, it's getting lost.

Just like now, Qiuqiu and I, who were about to go to the Spellcasters Association, completely lost our way on a certain street in Si Harbor.

Dry!

"Is there really no way to confirm the location of the destination?"

"Ask for directions is a good choice."

"But I don't really want to deal with these passers-by."

"Eh……"

"How should I describe, as a foreigner, the self-defense mentality that arises when you come to a strange city?"

"But master, you talked to a boy just now."

"Children are a special case."

"Or master, you are actually Shotacon..."

"puff!"

I don't quite understand the logical thinking of this elf.

It’s just subconsciously being close to children, why was it labeled as Shotacon, even if another girl came, I would patiently listen to her request, and then provide a little help as much as possible... Wait, should I say "It's a good thing it's not a girl"? If it's a girl, wouldn't it be labeled "young control"?

"Master, start in three years."

"Which country's law are you talking about!"

"Is that the case in most countries?"

"How would I know such a thing."

Out of nowhere, Qiuqiu took away the topic. I felt a headache for a while, so I reached out and rubbed my forehead.

The Spellcasters Association is not a place that must be visited, it is just for future actions. It is the best choice to go to that place to sort out the props first. There are only a series of auxiliary and ornamental magic scrolls left in the backpack. The only attack The sexual magic is [Focus Blast] and [Holy Grace·Light Energy Blast].

Both are magic to be released with the help of sunlight.

Both are explosive spells.

Both are "Boom" and then "Home" and then "Duang" moves.

"Is there a strange word mixed in?"

"Really? Pronunciation like that is fine!"

I waved my hand, telling Qiuqiu not to pursue this detail.

However, after talking for so long, we still haven't solved the problem of getting lost. Even with the idea of ​​"walking around at will", I didn't see any buildings that looked like the Association of Spellcasters. I clearly walked through every street in the city, but I felt that I was inadvertently caught in some indescribable The reason is to forcibly go the wrong way.

"Ha, it really is the will of the Great Universe?"

"Owner?"

"Nothing, I just think we have to use a little unconventional means to determine the route."

"Beyond, conventional?"

Qiuqiu didn't seem to understand my words.

Indeed, if it were me, even a minute ago, I couldn't understand what this sentence meant. Although there are many things in me that cannot be explained by common sense, none of the props have the function of finding a way. However, now I understand a truth: there is nothing absolutely impossible in the world.

"Qiuqiu, it seems that neither you nor I have enough memory."

"ha?"

"It's only been a few months, and I actually forgot that I have such a powerful contracted creature."

"Wait, wait a minute, master, what exactly do you want to say?"

"Hmph! What I want to say is very simple!"

Mobilizing the magic power, a complex magic circle was deployed under the feet, and a large number of runes emerged as a body.

Lock the target on Qiuqiu and activate the prepared magic circle.

"What questions are there? Become a navigator! Qiuqiu!"

The contracted creature slime I got by chance played a guiding role in the practice of Ingrid Church. Later, because of a series of messy things, I just forgot the idea of ​​"I have a contracted summoned beast" Sure, I didn't think about it until now.

——"Isn't it enough to just summon that slime?!"

——"Knowing the way is such a trivial matter!"

——"No, no, if I encounter the same thing next time, maybe I will forget it again, so just in case, it is better to do more things."

Therefore, I added a rune with "power addition" to the spell of the contract.

The result of this is naturally...

"Become a navigator! Qiuqiu!"

"Don't be a strange thing! Master, calm down!"

"Once you become a navigator, you're no longer a war scum!"

"Even the navigator has no fighting power, okay?"

"Ah, it can be loaded with ultra-long-distance and destructive strike props, and it will become a battle mound from then on."

"Master, do you think I'm a special airdrop force!"

"Nice metaphor!"

"Excessive!"

No matter how my elf partner refutes it, it won't change the fact that the magic is working. Summon the contracted creature slime, extract its characteristics, and give it to Qiuqiu, so that Qiuqiu can obtain the unique "pathfinding characteristics" of that slime, so that you no longer have to worry about getting lost question.

As for the slime before?

Open a random teleportation and throw it to the center of the mainland!

I am really kind to those who did not kill.

"Master, you have slaughtered a tribe."

"Eh? Just the Horde?"

"So you still want to massacre the race?! Even if Mr. Slime is a newcomer's friend, this is too much! Mr. Slime apologizes! Master, do you know that countless brave men rely on the help of slime to grow into talents useful to society!"

"Ah, then Miss Qiuqiu, the navigator, I'm very sorry."

"Why are you suddenly apologizing to us?"

"Because... slime?"

"Master, you just want to say that Chuqiu's IQ is at the same level as that of slime, so you should simply apologize to Qiuqiu instead of apologizing to slime, you are really too good, master!"

"Wow……"

Not only did he see through my thoughts, but he also spoke such a long sentence in one breath without pausing.

As expected of my partner.

"Okay, the magic is done."

Mana dissipated, and the magic circle under her feet also dimmed, all of which meant the end of the magic. The feature extraction was successful, and the additional magic was successfully released. Except for a small problem with the teleportation magic that sent the slime away, there was basically no major problem.

As for teleportation magic... probably just throw it to the northeastern part of the continent.

At first, I wanted to throw it in the middle.

"How do you feel?"

"...It feels as if several patches have been added to me, and I have been upgraded to a 'professional Qiuqiu 2.0' at once."

"I can't understand your description. Anyway, is there no problem with the directions?"

"certainly!"

Seeing Qiuqiu's proud look, I took a deep breath.

Originally thought that her resistance would take longer, but she didn't expect to accept the fact so quickly.

"The brain stores a fairly detailed map of the world, and can even unfold the map in a fictitious way at any time to determine our current location and the location of the destination... So what is the input of the destination?"

"..."

ah.

I forgot to consider the intellectual aspect.

"I always feel that Master, you are thinking about something not very good."

"Ah! No!"

"real?"

"Really, compared to this, the target location should be written as 'Spellcaster's Association of Seaport'. If it is not accurate enough, add 'Atuqiu Principality' in front, so that it should be confirmed. "

I say so.

After thinking about it, I casually added the last sentence.

"It's impossible for there to be two Principalities of Atuqiu."

"That's not true," Qiuqiu seemed hesitant, as if seeing something unexpected after unfolding the map, "However, there are quite a few yellow dots around."

"Yellow dots?"

"The enemy tracking system is here!"

"I always feel that you are talking about some kind of black technology that is far beyond this era."

"No, I just moved the radar on your screen, master."

"Eh……"

Hearing what Qiuqiu said, I just remembered that there is such a powerful function on those two strange screens. It is said that it can scan the surrounding enemy units, friendly units and neutral units, and use red, green and yellow as symbols respectively. Logo, but I have always felt that it is unlikely to be used, because I rarely do sneak work.

…………

Wait? !

"Are you really planning to evolve into a navigator?"

"That, master."

"Um?"

"I've wanted to ask you for a long time," Qiuqiu raised his head and looked at me innocently, "Can't the word navigator be called black technology?"

"No, Lilith made this kind of invention."

"principle?"

"Same as what I do, except the target is a compass."

"That is to say, the master's previous spell was learned from Lilith?"

"Seeing her magic notes, I'm a little interested. After all, I can still release this kind of magic."

When I said this, I couldn't help being proud.

Then he was despised by Qiuqiu.

"Let's not talk about this, the destination has been locked, but what should we do with the neutral units that are obviously gathered towards us?"

"Well... just pretend you didn't find out."

Not sure what the other party's purpose is, I can only pretend not to see it for the time being. After all, although the "navigator" was invented by Lilith a long time ago, it has never been made public. In a sense, it is considered a "completely unexplainable product of black technology", and it is not good to show it in front of too many people.

"So, go to the Spellcasters Association?"

"Well, remember to try to avoid those yellow dots."

"no problem."

I nodded, and walked into a certain alleyway led by Qiuqiu. Not long after walking, my elf partner suddenly stopped again.

"Owner."

"Um?"

"Why are you so persistent in going to the Spellcasters Association?"

"Be prepared for the task of 'slaying the dragon', first bring a lot of explosive magic scrolls, just in case."

This is my answer.

Then I immediately saw Qiuqiu's helpless expression.

What can I do!

Who made the princess and senior sister be the kind of guy who is more adventurous than an adventurer.
