TN: heyaa, the release a bit early today hehehe, btw guys why my eye is becoming blurry day by day? hmmmm…….

[Editor: Arhael]

　A week has pa.s.sed since that attack.

　Since then, only enemies such as Wolves and Snakes appeared, so the journey proceeded smoothly.

“… No, I can't say that”

　I said so while looking at the back.

　There was Yaju-san riding on the sled while putting Alicia on his lap.

　His legs were connected without trouble because of Alicia's [Heal], but it seems that it didn't go well mentally.

　He can't walk well while dragging his legs, because he doesn't have strength on his knee and he is suffering a kind of phantom pain.

　He was in such a state.

“Yaju-san, umm …… is Alicia bothering you?”

“No, it's fine. Also, didn't I say to not worry about my knees? This is a common symptom and it will cure as soon I've rehabilitated”

“I heard that, but …….”

　There are times I heard Phantom pain symptoms are often afflicted from amputated limbs.

　But for Yaju-san, the case is different.

　His heart remembered the pain when being cut and continued giving pain even after being cured.

　There were healing skills in this world such as [Heal] and [Regenerate] able to restore missing parts, but it seems it doesn't heal the mental state well.

　This seems to be a common symptom for adventurers and if they rehabilitate for a month it would eventually disappear.

“It will be fine, Yu-nee. Because I'll help Oji-chan!”

“Ah, yeah. Please.”

　She is clinging to his chest and he looks something like a grandpa.

　It's not like Yaju-san doesn't have a reason to not be able to walk, and right now he can't be a fighting force so right now, I can only see a grandpa and a grandchild.

　I'm borrowing his sword temporarily for now, but this is quite …… fragile.

　No, his sword is also a first cla.s.s product in this world, but when I put my magic power into it, the sword became unstable and rattling.

　I owe him a favor because I'm borrowing it, but my Piercer is better than this.

　So my strength is falling, which makes me feel anxious.

　Adrian-san spoke to me who felt anxious.

“Don't worry about it. I don't see something like that often outside, and it's a rare encounter as encountering a dragon.”

“But as expected, once we encountered it once there's a possibility of encountering it twice or three times … and Adrian-san's armor is -“

　Adrian-san's breastplate was destroyed.

　That opponent must have the attribute for destroying armor.

　If it's repaired……Yaju-san and the others' work will be in red.

　I also have used up my Srizaz Rune so it's a big loss.

　I'm troubled because there's no place to replenish it.

　Two more days until Tarhan City.

　When we came to such a distance, Alicia spoke to me.

“Hey, Yu-nee. You see ……”

“What is it? What's wrong?”

　The day has pa.s.sed long ago, and it's time for the night watch.

　The other people are already asleep, only Rivi-san, me and Alicia are awake.

　While Rivi-san was going to the toilet again, Alicia dropped a bomb. By the way, Rivi-san was letting a big one.

“I got a strange announcement again, this time it said “Level limit Release”.”

“- Ha?”

　I need a few seconds to understand the words.

　Level limit Release …… that means, umm … what does it mean?

“Release the limit …?”

“Un”

“That's means -“

　I checked the surroundings in a hurry and called the status window.

　The status that appeared was …… level, 206.

“It's breaking throughhhhhh!”

“Wa, kyaa!”

“What, what happened!?”

“Yumir-san, has something happened?!”

　The people who were sleeping started to wake up because of my scream.

　I sensed them and erase the status window in a hurry. I suppose they haven't seen it.

“No, nothing. Break …… uh, Alicia grew taller”

“Ha? Just that?”

“Yes, this child is growing so fast”

“C'mon …… It's midnight”

“I'm sorry, I'm sorry!”

　It was an unreasonable excuse but it seems that they didn't doubt me because they were still sleepy.

　Pekopeko. I bowed and calmed my mind.

　I made sure everyone fell asleep again and then opened the window again.

　It's not much like Behemoth, but it's leveling up in one go. There was no mistake.

“What about Alicia?”

“Hmm? Wait a moment”

　I urged her to open her status.

　It was level 96 being displayed.

　Her level also up 6 levels.

“Well …”

　What does this mean?

　If I'm not mistaken, the highest level limit in Midgard Online should be 200.

　I'm breaking through that limit. Perhaps it transcended because of Alicia's “administrator authority”.

　In other words, her authority may be equal to a GM, or even higher?

　And that authority is affecting me?

“As expected of the G.o.ddess tribe?”

“Hmm?”

“It means Alicia is my G.o.ddess”

　I hugged her and rubbed her cheek.

　If you think about it carefully, I'm transferred to this world as a game character. However, there's no guarantee that the level limit is the same as in the game.

　If it's Alicia who released the bind, she exactly can be called a G.o.ddess.

　And what more, most of my ability is almost maxed out.

　Leveled up 6 levels, but when you raise the agility to the limit, you can only raise it a few points.

　On the other hand, it seems like I can raise my luck for 30 points.

　Anyway, the ability itself is already complete, so keep it here. Let's raise the others to compensate the part I'm missing in case of emergency.

　The problem is……

“As expected the items, I guess?”

　Recovery potions are used up after fighting Behemoth and my Runes are also out of stock after fighting the golem.

　I still have enchantment ability, but a Magic Knight without items is painful.

　Moreover, my weapon and armor are being destroyed one by one.

“The main weapon is not damaged and doesn't have auto-cast, Kunitsuna might do somehow…… I should have an undamaged armor, so let's use it as a main armor …”

　I selected the main weapon for the future.

　The two-handed sword I have is MurasakiHomura, Muramasa, Mana Blade, and Kunitsuna. It's six if we add the broken Storm Blade.

　There are several daggers and long swords. Summing all the weapons it will be 20 weapons in total.

　I normally use two-handed swords if it's the usual hunting.

　I have good pieces of equipment, but the recovery items are still a problem. Even in Midgard Online, food can be a recovery item and potions only have an advantage on being lightweight.

　Even with that weight, it is still pushed by food recovery item which can be replenished locally.

　And if it's a food form, it can be replenished here if I use drop item equipment.

　However, no matter how much you eat ice cream or fish, to a person who is seriously injured, it won't heal up.

　Also, there's one more problem ….it said that there's no recovery effect in the foods other than those dropped with drop equipment.

　I tried to make salted fish which I picked up from the third layer of the labyrinth, but it was treated as a different item from the fish in the inventory.

　And even if I eat it, it has no HP recovery effect.

　In other words, the food that dropped by drop item equipment and the food made with our own hands will be treated as a non-item.

　This is also a secret that I couldn't talk to others.

　As a result, it's impossible for people to use it other than a potion, and that potion is used up.

　With that, it's necessary to resupply it somehow.

　If I were an alchemist with potion creation skills or a blacksmith with weapon repair skills, I could manage to do something.

　Two days later, Tarhan city was finally visible.

　It is surrounded by walls, just like a fortress.

　The city was different from the city I often see in movies.

　And the number of people is also different.

　Even with the people that line up to enter the city, lightly exceeding 100.

“Uoooooooooo ……”

“Fuwaaaaaa!”

　I and Alicia's mouths were wide open to the spectacular scenery.

　Most of the people are using horse or carriage, and to us who are placing our luggage on a sled are being stared with strange gazes.

　I was staring at the city to the extent that it didn't matter.

“You guys, just close your mouth”

　Said so while walking with a cane.

　His large sword I borrowed was carried on my back. If we already came this far, our role as an escort is good as done and battles hardly happen.

　There is no scene that requires the two-handed sword.

“It's a great person!”

“Ah, especially this city. Look, the discoverer and the conqueror were the same right?”

“Ah, yes. It seems so”

“Meaning. The one who had the labyrinth core is the right holder”

“Fumufumu…….hmm? That mean, you don't have to worry about the core being taken away?”

“That is so. The labyrinth is still alive despite being conquered. It's very unusual”

　Having the labyrinth core taken by the right holder means it's in a state where the core not being taken away.

　That means the right holder can continue to receive the benefits from the labyrinth.

“That, isn't it foul play?”

“Well, since the resources can be obtained endlessly the country won't interfere”

　In other words, if I can get my labyrinth core I can continue to receive the benefits from the labyrinth.

　I heard a nice thing. Will I also try to aim for the bottom level?

　When I was thinking about such things, our turn came.

　In such a big city, there's a check before entering the city.

“Welcome to Tarhan. Wait, isn't it Yaju-san? You are back?”

“Ah, it's the end of the contract.”

“Is that so? Looking at your look, I only can see you stepped on a blunder!”

　It seems that the gatekeeper and Yaju-san are acquainted, they are having a friendly chat.

　Meanwhile, Ako-san and the other merchants paid the entry tax to another gatekeeper.

　They also paid our taxes.

“Oh, Charon is also here. Did you became a burden for them as usual?”

“Well, something like that. But I think I grew up a little.”

“Oh, well said!”

　Gahaha. The gatekeeper was laughing eagerly. It seems that he has a quite lively personality. I've to be careful to not speak unnecessary things or it might become a troublesome thing.

　Even so, I don't feel strange or uncomfortable.

“Young girl over there, is it your first time here? I'm sorry, but could you show me your guild card?”

“Ah, yes”

　In the guild card, achievements and bad deeds are automatically written.

　This can be done by registering your magic wave when you make the guild card and it seems that the ability is top secret.

　With it, you can check whether or not you attack people on the road.

“Viper and Wolf……oh, you also defeat a Balchar. You have quite the skill”

　Of course, I can choose what to use on the guild card. Because other people can't operate it, so there's no possibility to see unnecessary places.

　Even though I knew about it, my back is getting itchy a little.

“W, what……do you ever heard about moon golem?”

“…… Moon? Ah, that one?”

“That?”

“It's a golem that attacked us on the way. It was strong and my legs got cut.”

“Hou, Yaju's response is delayed …… I'm surprised you could defeat it.”

“Because I'm lucky, and Charon also helped me”

　Because the subjugation history will be written, so it probably remained in the display part.

　The gatekeeper seems to not know the monster well, and it seemed that he was convinced when I said: “I was helped”.

“Okay, there is no problem. Although normally you will need to pay 100 silver for entrance tax, it's already fine because it has been paid by them.”

“Yes, thank you”

“Then, I say it again. Welcome to Tarhan, ocean city, and labyrinth!”

　With that, we entered “another city” for the first time.
