Shinka no Mi (Shiranai Uchi ni Kachigumi Jinsei)-Chapter 222

“Now then…… as I recall, the direction of the Kaizer Empire is this way, right?”

I departed from Terviel for the Kaizer Empire.

“This is the first time I’ve ever traveled alone.”

Thinking back, I was suddenly transported into the forest, where I met Saria and we left the forest.

I was so desperate in the forest that I could not afford to travel, and going alone to another country like this was somewhat refreshing.

“However, the loneliness is stronger than refreshing now.”

For safety reasons, I was heading there alone, but I felt somewhat lonely.

It was a very unthinkable feeling when I was on earth.

Back then, my parents weren’t there, and I was bullied every day……

Honestly, I didn’t even have time to feel lonely.

After coming to this world, I met Saria and the others, every day was noisy, and I got used to that atmosphere.

I’m afraid of losing it because I’ve gotten used to it.

Therefore……

“Even more so, something has to be done about the Kaizer empire.”

The Kaizer empire is waging war all over the world and controlling various countries.

It’s not that I want to save this world with it, or that I have such a big wish.

But if someone important to me is saddened by the progression of the Kaizer Empire, then I want to do something about it.

“Well then…… I don’t even know what the situation is like in the Kaizer Empire, so I guess it’s better to head there as soon as possible.”

Since it’s my long-awaited solo trip, I feel like wanting to take it easy, but I don’t think I have time for that.

I want to rescue the other heroes as soon as I can and reassure Kannazuki-senpai.

“That’s why, let’s go for a run!”

Fortunately, I see that no one was around.

With this, it would not cause any trouble for anyone even if I ran with little force.

If I had to be careful, I would have to try not to make the ground disastrous, and to be careful not to use too much force so the world doesn’t scream, right?

“Well then…… let’s go!”

When I stepped forward with great enthusiasm――――

“Eh?”

――――A strange city appeared before my eyes.

“Hmm?”

S,strange.

Until just a little while ago, there should have been just Terviel right behind me, and the road in front of me. At least there was no town.

However, the moment I took my first step, the landscape in my field of vision moved at an extraordinary speed, and by the time I finished my step, I had arrived at a city I had never seen before.

I hurriedly turned around, but the city of Terveil was nowhere to be seen, and I was in a completely unknown place.

“No, no, no, I’m getting more and more confused!”

I sorted out the situation, but in the end, I couldn’t understand anything.

“Where am I in the first place? No,no way…… did I come to an unknown world after just a little force?”

No matter how much I wanted to fully enjoy traveling alone, I had no intention of suddenly making a detour outside of my destination.

However, in fact, a strange city emerges in front of me.

Perhaps I put too much force into it, stepped through a dimension or something, and came to another world ……?

I’m sure I’m thinking about things that don’t make sense even to myself, but it’s no wonder that I can do that much now. Since I’m officially approved by God who said that I’m a dangerous guy!

In the midst of this extreme confusion, I suddenly hear the voice from the world in my head.

『This is the Kaiser Empire, I have brought you here 』

“You brought me here!?”

It wasn’t a story about some kind of move into another dimension or anything like that, but this is something I didn’t see coming!

Bringing a country it said, what kind of situation is this in the first place!?

『If it was Seiichi-sama, it would have been possible to ignore the characteristics of the transfer magic and teleport directly to the Kaizer Empire, which he had never visited. However, I feel sorry if you have to spend time activating that magic……yes』

“Don’t say yes”

What makes you think that just because it is a hassle to cast magic, it would be a good idea to bring the country to me?

『Nonetheless, as expected, directly changing the land would have a large impact, so I made the planet rotate at high speed……』

“Am I the only one who thinks that high-speed rotation has a big enough impact?”

Wouldn’t something like that mess us, the ones who are living on this planet, up? Well, if it’s not happening, I guess it did something about it.

But in that case, it had moved the ground…… No, no, no, that’s not what I’m talking about! It wasn’t a story that I could just go face normally!

Then, perhaps my inner feelings were conveyed, I heard an awkward voice from the world.

『Uhmm…… If you don’t like it, do you want me to turn it back……? 』

“It’s okay, it’s okay! Si,since this is just fine!”

I don’t know what’s going on, but at least it hasn’t affected the humans living on this planet, and I was able to get here a lot faster than I expected. I couldn’t ask for more.

When the world confirmed that I was not particularly angry, it disappeared with a somewhat relieved feeling.

“Da,dangerous…… because if I carelessly speak, hoping of something, terrible consequences will arrive on me…… I have to be careful. ……”

Recognizing my own outrageousness, I once again turned my attention to the city in front of me.

“Hmm…… how should I say this……it’s lifeless…….?”

Not that I could hear voices from outside the city, but I felt it intuitively.

Especially now, with thick clouds covering overhead, the atmosphere is even gloomier.

As I approached the city, the strangeness became even more apparent.

“A,a’re? The gate is …… closed?”

The gates to enter the city are closed, as if they intend to completely cut off all interaction from the outside.

Upon closer inspection, I can’t see anything that looks like a guard around the gate.

“No way, this being an uninhabited town…… there’s no way…… right……?”

Suddenly, the horrific turn of events gave me chills. Ple,please don’t let there be ghosts and such……!

However, there is no turning back now.

“I was surprised that I was suddenly transported to the Kaizer Empire, but since the world went out of its way to take care of that, I guess this is definitely the capital of the Kaizer Empire, though……”

The walls surrounding the gate were thick, and it felt as high as dozens of meters.

“I can’t break down the gates…… so I’ll go up for the time being.”

When I jumped from that place with a light feeling, my vision changed in an instant, and I reached a position where I could look down on the entire city from the sky.

“Uwah! Although I was the one who jumped…… as I thought, this body of mine is strange……”

Since I was already there, I took a quick look at the city from the sky, and I was able to confirm the state of the people.

However, just as I sensed at first, the city was lifeless, it was full of people with somewhat dazed gaits as if they were sleepwalkers, and it didn’t quite look like the capital of an empire.

Above all, I could not confirm any soldiers who supervised such people.

“Wha,what’s going on? There don’t seem to be any soldiers on the ramparts either……”

No matter how much the Kaizer Empire is attacking other countries, it would be strange to see them so defenseless.

Besides, I could see people, but they weren’t in their right minds either. They’re like zombies roaming around a ruin…… Hah!? No way, horror is horror, but what I found were zombies!

Finally, with my air travel ending, I landed on the ramparts and turned my attention to the towering castle.

“Maybe the other heroes have returned to this country, but …… are they being held captive in that castle?”

I don’t want to cause a ruckus as much as I can, or rather, this city is giving me a creepy feeling, so I wanted to quickly release the heroes and the teachers and say my farewells to it.

“What’s the point in even thinking about it? Let’s go to that castle for now.”

With that decision, I jumped down from the ramparts to the city, and hurriedly headed for the castle.
