The Laid-back Life in Another World of the Ex-Hero Candidate Who Turned out to be a Cheat from Level

Chapter 105: Greanil and Volaris

◇ ◇ ◇ Abandoned house purchased by Fulio on the outskirts of the town of Souziya

After separating from Uliminus, who had headed into the city to prepare for the store, Fulio, Elisabeth and Gozaru were heading to a settlement on the outskirts of the city, where there was an abandoned house that had just finished the purchase process.

That settlement was located not too far from the center of the city, but…

「… Apparently, no one lives here 」.

Fulio chuckled as he said this.

The settlement was a small settlement consisting of only five larger houses, which all of them were uninhabited.

One of them was surrounded by a small hill, slightly isolated from its surroundings, and connected to it by a single pathway that extended from the city road.

「That’s quite a large area, though」

Gozaru, who had entered the room with the key given by Uliminus, looked around the house, hmmm, and looked around the house with a thought.

The house had one basement and three floors above, along with a place in the yard where the wagons could be placed.

There was also a staircase in the basement that allowed for goods to be brought in directly from this wagon area.

Most of the first floor was occupied by a huge living/dining/kitchen area, which was large enough for the entire Fulio family to eat together.

The second and third floors had similar small rooms lined up in the same way, with ten rooms on the first floor, twenty rooms in total.

「From the way it was built, it must have been an inn in the past」.

With Elisabeth on his shoulders, Fulio went up to the third floor once he got to the third floor and checked out the interior of the house all over again.

Indeed, the house itself was large.

However, the house seemed to have been unoccupied for a long time, and there were holes everywhere, even the outer walls were full of gaps, and the roof was riddled with leaking marks.

The only good thing about the house was that the water and sewage systems were up-to-date and had been installed close to the house.

『It will take a lot of rework to make it habitable』Fulio held up his right hand with a wry smile as he understood that Uliminus had been told by the person in charge of the town hall that it would need quite a bit of tweaking to make it habitable, but because it was in such a bad state, they were able to purchase it at a super cheap price.

Then, a huge magic circle expanded around Fulio.

At the sight, Elisabeth on Fulio’s shoulder begins to frolic with a big smile on her face.

While Elisabeth’s laughter was echoing, the magic circle covered the entire first floor of the house. The magic circle began its gradual advance, covering the second and third floors of the house, until it passed through the roof and into the sky above the house, and then it simply vanished.

After Fulio’s magic circle was overcome, the abandoned house, It had changed completely from when Fulio and the others first arrived. The abandoned building that was on the verge of decay just a few minutes ago had regained its new splendor as if it had just been completed yesterday, and there was no sign of damage anywhere.

「Hmm, as expected of Fulio-dono, a splendid restoration magic」

As he looked around the restored house, Gozaru surprized at it.

「No, no, this isn’t much magic」.

While saying this, Fulio scratches the head of his nose with his index finger.

The restoration magic played by Fulio is a magic that instantly repairs damaged buildings and other objects that have been damaged or broken.

If it is only a simple repair magic, even an intermediate level mage can use it, but when it comes to a magic that restores a decaying building to the way it was just built back like its original shape, as Fulio just did, is a super-level magic, and Fulio was probably the only one in this world who could use this magic alone.

But Fulio was seriously modest, as he thought that the magic he could use should be something that any little mage could use.

「Anyway, the house has been repaired, so the luggage need to be brought in」.

As he says this, Fulio holds up his right hand again and begins to deploy his magic circle.

In response, the luggage from the wagons outside the house begin to float into the house one after another.

「It’s not a good idea to show off this kind of sight to others」thought Fulio who doesn’t like to stand out, he rarely shows this kind of performance to others as he doesn’t use this luggage carrying magic in places where other people are watching.

This is how Fulio’s performance in using magic. Elisabeth, who was on his shoulder, was looking at him with a big smile on her face as she was enjoying herself.

◇ ◇ ◇ Town of Souziya, City Hall

One of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King’s Army, Serpent Princess Yoluminto, in her human form, was standing in line at the city hall in Souziya.

These days, Yoluminto was constantly being stalked by the current Demon King Uygard’s entourage under Hufun order, Dr. Mephisto and Coceshte, throughout her time in the Demon King’s Castle.

However, due to the considerable difference in ability, there was a counterattack by Yoluminto’s subordinates, who were enraged by this move, and although there was no direct movement recently, the tension of a constant cold sight has continued.

Originally, there was a way to appeal directly to Demon King Uygard to stop it, but since the cause of this situation is that Yoluminto herself deliberately ignored The Demon King, this matter has caused Demon King Uygard’s own displeasure, until things cool down, she has no choice but to respond the fights and crush them.

Yoluminto, who had grown somewhat tired of such a bleak situation, had come here in the name of investigating a major event that was occurring in the human city, and had come to Souziya.

「… So, Hardadandan, what stall have we decided to open? 」

Yoluminto, who came with the intention of killing time, turned her mood when she heard that she could open their own stall,

「I definitely want to participate」

she said that, and prepared for her preparations with her subordinate who accompanied her.

Yoluminto, who was standing in line to apply for a stall, turned her attention to Hardadandan, who was standing beside her.

Although Hardadandan was dressed in human form, his unusually macho body and flashy, revealing, glossy dress made him unavoidably conspicuous, and he continued to attract the gazes of those around him.

「Leave it to me, Yoluminto-sama, even if it is just for fun, all of them under this Hardadandan have been preparing for it without cutting any corners.」

Hardadandan bowed reverently and handed a sheet of paperwork to Yoluminto.

When Yoluminto saw it, she hummed and looked through the document.

On that paper was written 『 Macho Goldfish Scooping 』.

「Hardadandan, what kind of thing is this? 」

「Yes, I have learned from my research that the inhabitants of this world prefer to fight against anything that can be called a goldfish and play games with」

At this point, Hardadandan clicked his fingers, and Steig, who was standing behind him, comes up to him with a water basin in his hand.

Yoluminto looked into the basin and mixed it up.

Inside that basin was a single goldfish.

The size is about two fists.

Its body is macho and muscular.

When it saw Yoluminto, it winked vigorously at her.

「By the way, These goldfish is trained by me with all my heart and soul, it’s a game that will give you a chance to fight it with all your might.」

「Hmmm?　Is that how it works? 」

「That’s the way it is」

As Hardadandan nodded vigorously, Yoluminto said 「hmmm」, and with the documents in her hand, she was waiting for her turn to apply for theirs to arrive.

Seventeen minutes later.

The application was fully rejected.

◇ ◇ Street food stalls in Souzya

「Hey, over here-Nya.」

Uliminus, who was getting ready to set up shop, waved to Fulio, Gozaru and Elisabeth when she saw them.

The general store Ugo’s shop was prepared with a wide variety of items, from clothing to accessories, armor to medicines, just like a general store.

It would be quite narrow for one store to handle this much stuff, but Uliminus had talked to the city officials to get two sections in a row.

Although it was located slightly away from the plaza, which was the center of the city.

「We have a full range of products-Nya, it doesn’t matter where we are-Nya.」

Uliminus was smiling with a meow-hoop as she said so.

And as if to prove her words, a crowd had already formed around the general store Ugo’s stall.

… Hey, isn’t that a dragon scale shield?

… I’ve got some dragon scale armour over there…

… That magic stone looks pretty pure…

There was a person who seemed to be a merchant offering advance negotiations to Uliminus.

Surrounded by such people, Uliminus had an unfitting smile on her face.

… I’m going to make a lot of money this week-Nya.

◆◇

「Long time no see, Fulio-dono, it has been a while 」

Inside the stall, Greanil, who was in charge of purchasing for the grocery store Ugo, was leading her own subordinates in a hurry to prepare the store.

The former apprentice demon ninja was also continuing to gather information while stocking up in various places under the direction of Uliminus, and she was already gaining a certain amount of status.

「I’m glad to see you’re in good health, is that your daughter that you’re carrying on your shoulder?　She’s as lovely as the rumors say.」

While saying that, Greanil patted Elisabeth’s head with a smile.

Elisabeth had a happy smile on her face as she honestly poked her head out to be patted.

「Fulio-dono, we can do the preparations well by ourselves. Why don’t you and Elisabeth-dono go and look around the stalls? 」

Stopping her hand from petting Elisabeth, Greanil spoke to Fulio as she reached for her new box.

「Yes, I don’t want to get in your way, so I suppose I’ll do」

As he said this, Fulio lightly raised his hand to Uliminus, who was chatting enthusiastically with the other merchants, and then left the general store Ugo’s stall.

Elisabeth was extremely happy that she and Fulio had decided to go around the stall alone, and Elisabeth didn’t lose her big smile, but remained on Fulio’s shoulder and hugged him to her head.

Occasionally

「U-yo!　U-yo! 」

Elisabeth hummed to herself, and Fulio laughed and looked around at the stalls here and there.

And

「Oh, husband sama」

There, Fulio’s wife, Lys, spotted Fulio and Elisabeth and came running up to them at a fast pace with their eldest son, Garyl, with her.

When Fulio spotted them, he smiled happily and raised his right hand.

「I’ve been waiting for you, Lys and Garyl. You just got here? 」

At Fulio’s words, Lys had a big smile on her face as she was happy to see

「Yes, I just left with the Slape Family and Verano」.

As she said this, she gently hugged Fulio.

And.

Elisabeth, who had been watching the scene on Fulio’s shoulder, looked blatantly uncomfortable as she turned away from the side with a pouty look on her face.

…This is…I wonder if it is jealousy

Fulio couldn’t help but smile as he watched her from the side.

Elisabeth, who has been expressing an excessive amount of affection for Fulio since the incident when he grew up so fast, has started to express her jealousy even to her mother, Lys, who has been expressing her affection to Fulio as a matter of course.

However, it could be said that this kind of excessive reaction to the object of one’s affection was very similar to that of Lys.

In the past, when Fulio presented the ring that can increase the amount of magic inside the body to Mage Verano, it was also the same.

『If you put your ring on your left hand finger… I will kill you』

The stories of her jealousy are countless, including one time when she threatened him with a serious look, and so on.

It could be said that Elisabeth has inherited a lot of those aspects of Lys.

… As far as I’m concerned, I love them both and I hope they get along somehow.

Fulio couldn’t help but chuckle as he looked at the two of them in return.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ In a crowdy street in the town of Souziya.

At that moment, the blonde hero was running desperately through the crowded streets.

「Wait!　You!　You’re the blonde-haired hero who is wanted by the castle! 」

The castle’s knight, Volaris, was chasing behind him, with her subordinates in pursuit.

For a while now, Volaris, a female knight in man’s clothing, had been moving from place to place under the orders of the Princess Queen.

On this day, they had come to guard Souziya, where one of the biggest events around here was being held, including to see if the wanted criminals of the vicious business would show up, but in the course of their guard, they had discovered the blonde hero and were about to capture him.

There was a time when the blonde hero had been summoned to this world as a hero to defeat the Demon King and trained to defeat the Demon King while being guaranteed an elegant life in the castle.

However, no matter how much he trained, his ability as a hero had hardly improved, and on the way, he had caused various troublesome acts, such as sneaking into the castle’s treasury, triggering the sealed demon’s hiya, causing a major incident that could have killed all the castle’s inhabitants, and stealing things from the castle’s treasure hall, and is currently on an extensive wanted list from the castle of Clydor.

「I’m not going to get caught in a place like this! 」

The blonde brave turned right down an alleyway and accelerated at once.

「He’s turning there! Everyone charge! 」

Volaris, pointing with her sword to the area where the blonde hero turned, led her own men and turned to the right.

「What…? What…! 」

However, the blonde brave was not in the corner of his eye.

Volaris frantically looked around the area.

However, the street was only a straight road, nothing special except for a few trash bags placed on it, and it was just a straight line.

However, the blonde hero was no longer there.

「Ehhh, yeah~!　Let’s find him!　Everybody follow me! 」

Volaris pointed forward again with her sword and ran off across the road, taking everyone with her.

After a moment

The blonde hero gently peeked out from underneath the trash bag that was placed at the edge of the road.

As soon as he turned the corner, the blonde hero took out his partner, the drill bulldozer scoop, from the magic bag and dug a shallow hole and immediately went into it to hide. As expected of him, he didn’t forget to camouflage himself by placing a nearby garbage bag on top of it.

After confirming that Volaris was out of sight, the blonde hero stepped out of the hole with a sigh of relief

「… I couldn’t make a drop hole in the suburbs, but I think I can handle it, so I just need to run away for now」

As he said this, he began to walk at a fast pace towards the opposite direction of where Volaris had run off.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇The forest in the vicinity of Souziya

The Dark King was giggling.

The Dark King had been caught in a falling hole twice in a row recently and had been injured pretty badly.

He was determined to make a fortune from the festival in Souziya, which is one of the biggest festivals in the area.

However, as he was about to enter the city, a pit kept being created in front of him, and the Dark Lord kept falling into it and retreating temporarily to treat his injuries.

But this day was different.

He would have his own followers survey his path more carefully than necessary, and when it was safe to do so, he would proceed a little further, where he would begin to check ahead again… This process was repeated.

Thanks to that, the Dark King hadn’t gotten caught in the pit this time, and had almost made it to a position where he could enter the city of Souziya.

… Huh… I still don’t know which one of us was the culprit, but it looks like I won this time.

The Dark King had a goofy, vulgar smile on his face.

And then…

「Are there blonde hero!? 」

Suddenly, Volaris and the rest of the knights appeared from the direction of the city and met the Dark King and his group.

When Volaris saw the Dark King, she said.

「… Is that you, the former king, there? 」

He said, and pointed the sword in his right hand.

The Dark King.

He was the former king of the magical kingdom of Clydor.

His daughter, the Princess Queen - the First Princess at that time - exposed the many evil deeds he had been doing behind the scenes, and he was banished from the castle.

Since then, he has continued to do his evil deeds, calling himself the Dark King.

Volaris keeps the sword in her right hand pointed at the former king - the current Dark King - in front of her.

「You are suspected of running a vicious business in many places. I want you to be quietly interrogated.」

Saying that, she approaches the Dark King’s group along with the other knights while surrounding them.

「Chi, run away! 」

Looking at Volaris and the others, the Dark King, realizing his disadvantage, immediately fled from the scene.

「Wait!　I won’t let you go! 」

Volaris and others soon followed suit.

And the Dark King fled without entering the city of Souziya again.
