Chapter 305: Halfway Point (2/2)

While keeping an eye on the four in front of me, I turned my gaze toward the source. There stood an extraordinary man.

With bright red hair that seemed to have been painted on, and a towering stature of over 2 meters in height, it was a giant of a man.

That alone made him stand out, but what was even more unusual was his attire, being clad in nothing more than ordinary fabric clothing that offered no semblance of defense.

We were technically still in base, but safety wasnt guaranteed here.

The conditions were only marginally better than outside, so the individuals bothering me and those merely observing all had some form of armor on them.

He alone was the exception.

The only thing on him that indicated he was an adventurer was the enormous metal hammer he carried.

Just who could he be?

G-Glen. [Thug 1]

Tch, an annoying one showed up. [Thug 2]

Acting like hes all that just because hes S Rank What do you want? [Thug 3]

Huh? Glen the S Rank? [Ryouma]

Could this person possibly be the adventurer that Schieber-san was talking about? The one who achieved an S-rank solely through sheer physical strength? With how calm he is, it seems likely that hes powerful.

However, his attire is filthy and tattered, and his hair and beard are both unkempt and uncared for.

Even the way he walked seemed more like that of a random middle-aged man I understand its disrespectful of me to think so, but he appears more like a vagabond than an adventurer.

Could he be someone else with the same name?

Youre in the way, so get lost. [Glen]

Were busy right now because this brat entered our territory without permission. You wont stand for that either, right? [Thug 1]

Hah? I dont give a d.a.m.n. What he does with his life or whatever is his problem. As long as he doesnt get in my way, I dont care. Besides, I came here all on my own too. You telling me you have a problem with me too? Hah? You wanna fight? [Glen]

Tsk, I got it already. [Thug 1]

Thanks to the man called Glen speaking up, the onlookers quickly scattered, as did the people bothering me silently parted to clear the way, so I took the opportunity to offer a brief word of thanks before making my exit.

Thank you. [Ryouma]

Hah? I wasnt trying to help you. They were just in my way when Im trying to go hunt. In the first place, its not like you needed any. [Glen]

He said with disinterest. Then while muttering to himself how troublesome this whole thing was, he stretched himself, then in the next moment, moved at a ferocious speed.

Woah!? [Thug 1]

Peh! d.a.m.n it! [Thug 2]

He did it again! How many does this make it!? [Thug 3]

Glen-san sprinted away, and like a truck cras.h.i.+ng into a puddle, mud was sent flying everywhere, showering me and the people around me in mud. From how they were reacting, however, this seemed to be a regular occurrence.

There were quite a few things I was curious about, but leaving this place as soon as possible took priority, so taking advantage of the mud shower, I used dark magic and successfully escaped from the base.

Given how its unlikely for there to be any decent bases left up ahead, Im going to just avoid the bases and minimize any contact with the adventurers here.

This part of the forest is already unfit for human habitation.

The only creatures left here are dangerous creatures.

Whether they look human or not is irrelevant. Fundamentally, all the creatures here are the same. Or at least, it would be better if I saw it that way.

After that I continued to make my way through the forest for the next few hours.

For some, walking relentlessly through an unchanging landscape might not be a pleasant task, but Im personally fond of quiet monotonous work like this

As the day wore on and dusk approached, I decided to make preparations for camping before it got too dark.

However, while I might refer to it as camping preparations, I already had everything set up in advance within my Dimensional Home. Not only did I have a bed ready, I even had a vegetable and poultry farm, so what Im about to do now is just to ensure my safety.

This should be a good spot First, Cutter Tornado! [Ryouma]

The entrance I chose for tonights resting place is located slightly off the animal trail, near the base of a large tree, then I used wind blades to swiftly cut and blow away the vegetation in front of the tree. This spell is weaker than Schieber-sans magic, but it does a good job as a gra.s.s cutter.

Next up is, Dimension Home. Its your turn, Huge Rock Slime! [Ryouma]

What I summoned with my dimension magic was none other than the emperor version of the Stone Slime. Its identical to the Emperor Slime in terms of abilities, but apparently, when Stone Slime get bigger, they go from Big to Big Stone, then Rock, then Huge Rock.

Its probably just because it makes more sense to call them as such rather than calling them an emperor stone. Or at least, I cant think of any other reason why theyd be called differently.

Also, Huge Rock is so big that it wouldnt be strange for it to become a specialty product in some tourist mountain.

Just 20 seconds pa.s.sed, but my makes.h.i.+ft house is already complete! [Ryouma]

I positioned the Huge Rock Slime accordingly, then I had it transform to create a s.p.a.ce within its body.

Just like that, a st.u.r.dy one-room s.p.a.ce surrounded by robust rocks in every direction was complete!

It could also keep a watchful eye out on the surroundings, and should the situation call for it, it could create a completely enclosed s.p.a.ce by sealing the entrance completely, so theres nothing to worry about at all about monsters attacking.

Should the need to flee arise, an entrance could also be created anywhere, making the slime ideal for camping and night watch duties!

Dimension Home is certainly a convenient spell, but entering and exiting it can be dangerous. [Ryouma]

Its incredibly useful, sure, but its hard to grasp the situation outside without actually leaving it. If youre not careful, you might just find yourself smack dab in the middle of a monster beast horde.

But if the entrance is covered by a slime, then theres naturally nothing to worry about anymore! Not that theres anyone here to hear me. [Ryouma]

I became thoughtful.

Traveling by myself isnt particularly difficult, but I find myself speaking to myself a lot. That never bothered me when I was back in the forest, but [Ryouma]

Enduring the temperature fluctuations of the forest for four days straight might have taken a bigger toll on me than I thought. It feels like the time has flown past by me, but I should already be past the halfway point to my destination.

In that case, lets not push myself too much and retire for the day early today.
