Chapter 270: Reunion and Meeting (1/2)

I spent several hours walking along the mountain road while taking in the bleak scenery. Just when I was starting to get tired of the rocky and dreary landscape, I arrived at the town of Teressa. Ill probably be staying the night here. The only question is whether to get lodging or sleep in the dimension home.

The s.p.a.ce inside my Dimension Home now has a house and a garden thanks to my slimes and my efforts expanding it daily. Thats why its actually better for me to stay there inside of some poor hotel.

But then again, I am on a trip, so it might not be such a bad idea to stay at a local inn Ill try walking around for awhile. It wouldnt be too late to have a meal somewhere first before deciding, so I entered the town, but after walking around aimlessly for awhile, a carriage caught my attention.

Hmm? Is that [Ryouma]

The inn seemed expensive, and beside it was a parking lot just for carriages. There was a tall steel fence demarcating the lot from the road I was at, so I thought I mightve been mistaken, so I approached, but it turned out, I was right.

On the side of the carriage was the crest of the Jamil House. Moreover, it was a different one from the one I rode recently. I think its the same carriage as the one I got on when I first left the Forest of Gana.

But why would it be here? If I recall correctly, Sebasu-san put it inside his Dimension Home. Does that mean that Sebasu-san is here? But then again, it is the houses carriage, so it could be someone else!

Oh, so you noticed. [???]

I sensed someone approaching from behind, so I turned around only to find a bespectacled brown-skinned woman with shoulder-length silver hair fluttering in the wind. She stood there with a smile on her face. She was just 3 meters away from me, but I didnt notice her until now.

You have a pretty good intuition, dont you? [???]

And who would you be? [Ryouma]

Oh, wary, arent we? Im sorry, it looks like I spooked you a bit. You were looking at that carriage so intently that I couldnt help but wonder what you were doing, then I got the urge to tease you a little. [???]

Well, I certainly dont feel any hostility from her

Remilie-sama, so this is where you were. [Man]

A familiar male voice called out from behind. When I turned to it

Lunch has been prepared Oh? Ryouma-sama? [Sebasu]

Sebasu-san! [Ryouma]

Huh? You know Sebasu-chan? [Remilie]

Sebasu-chan? He called out to her just now too, didnt he? Looks like this woman is an acquaintance of his as well. In that case, its probably fine.

Remilie-sama, this boy is a friend of ours, though I certainly didnt expect to reunite with him here. [Sebas]

Friend? And by our, I suppose hes not your friend alone. Reinbachs as well? Wow [Remilie]

So, she really wasnt anyone harmful, but just who is she? She appears young, probably somewhere in her twenties, perhaps even in her late teens. but she referred to both Sebasu-san and Reinbach-sama with a chan. Her background is unknown But now that Ive gotten a better look at her, I must say that shes quite the beauty.

Shes taller than me right now, but she might be on the smaller side of adult women. The robe she wore was opened in the front, so I could tell she had a good figure too. Despite her height, she had plenty to boast when it came to her chest, and she had a slender waist as well. She had a figure akin to those of the gravure idols back on Earth.

She looks healthy, but her body doesnt look like its been trained for combat, so she probably doesnt fight with a weapon. However, shes light on her foot.

Sorry to scare you earlier. Im Remilie Clemmis, a wizard.

My apologies as well for the delayed introduction. Im Ryouma Takebayas.h.i.+. [Ryouma]

Im sure the two of you have a lot to ask, but how about we take this discussion elsewhere for now? [Sebas]

Right. Are you fine with that, Ryouma-kun? [Remilie]

Yes. [Ryouma]

Sebasu-san is here, so Ill tag along for now. But why would Sebasu-san be at a place like this? Ah, but if Reinbach-sama is here, then maybe hes just tagging along.

Sebasu-san led us to a room in the inn. Sebasu-san was about to knock on the door, but Remilie-san went ahead and opened it herself, pulling me into the room as she entered.

Reinbach-chan, you have a guest. [Remilie]

W-Wait a sec, ah, its been a while. [Ryouma]

I saw Reinbach-sama as soon as we entered the room. He looked as lively as ever, so despite my confusion, I greeted him. There was another man of the same generation with Reinbach-sama. They mustve been chatting while unwinding on the sofa. Their eyes twinkled at our sudden entry.

Ryouma-kun? Youve grown since we parted at Gimuru. But how come youre here? [Reinbach]

I just happened to pa.s.s by for my training. I happened to see your houses carriage and was surprised, then [Ryouma]

I found myself turning to Remilie-san, and Reinbach-sama and the other man too turned to her, so she gave a brief explanation.

I brought him here since Reinbach-chan seemed to know him. [Remilie]

But of course, that wouldnt actually be enough of an explanation, so after introducing ourselves, we explained the relations.h.i.+p between myself and Reinbach-sama, and they also explained why they were here. Apparently, Reinbach-sama was in the middle of a trip with his friend, and as expected, Sebasu-san was just accompanying them.

By the way, I heard about what happened at the end of the year. I am truly sorry that you had to deal with my mess, but Im nonetheless grateful that you were able to take care of it. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for cooperating with my son and his wife. [Reinbach]

There was a deep sadness and pain when he mentioned his mess, but he was full of grat.i.tude when he thanked me. I couldnt possibly understand just how much that matter weighed on him, but Im sure he must have worried about it a lot.

He has already pa.s.sed his position onto his son and retired, so the present head, Reinhart-san, had to be the one to deal with the matter.

No matter the root cause or circ.u.mstances involved, if Reinbach-sama made a move, rumors would have surely spread among the n.o.ble of Reinhart-sans incompetency.

Im sure that as a parent, Reinbach-sama wouldnt want for his sons reputation to decline, and it would also be terrible for the dukes family in the long run. Thats why Reinbach-sama couldnt make an appearance himself. Though it appears that hes been helping as much as he could behind the scenes.
