White Necromancer — C9

I, Gilly and Mia are waiting at the villages entrance for Kane.

“Mr. Kane has not come yet. You don’t think hes been attacked by monsters, right?”

“It’s okay! Mr. Kane is an adventurer, so even if a monster appears, he will defeat him!”

Gilly irresponsibly responds to Mia who seems to be worried.

The bard is a completely supporter position, so there is no direct way to attack monsters. At best, it can put weak monsters such as goblins to sleep. Basically, it’s a party-only job..

However, Mr. Kane is rarely alone. Mr. Kane has an unusually high level of communicative competence, so adventurers he meets during his travels often accompany him.

“Oh! Isn’t that him!?”

“Mr. Kane! This time, a woman is with him.”

When they looked where Gilly was pointing, the green man was waving. A green cloak and a green robe. This is Kane’s usual outfit.

And next to him was a swordfighter dressed in leather armor. She is a red-haired woman with a big sword on her back.

“Hey! You guys! Thank you for welcoming me!”

Kane shouts in a deep voice. Although there is still a pretty decent distance, they are a bard.

We wave hard, and soon after, Mr. Kane arrived.

“Hey, it’s been a year! All three are bigger than last year!”

Mr. Kane is a handsome blonde man with blue eyes. With that refreshing smile, we smile at him .

“Mr. Kane, it’s been a long time!”

“Hey! The next person is Kane’s new companion?”

The swordfighter woman smiled bitterly at Mia’s question. And she turnedher head and denied it.

“No. I just came with him because he showed me something interesting. I’m a solo swordfighter named Abbey. It’s just for a few days but I imagine it’ll be interesting.”

Ms. Abbey seems to be a rough fairly common type that is often found in adventurers.

The reason why Kane appealed to solo is probably because they don’t have a fixed party. Many people want to be free and free without being tied to anything.

“Hahaha! For me, it doesn’t matter if we are lovers, Abbey would still say no, pretty shy.”

Kane laughs refreshingly. Abbey clicks her tongue and glares at Kane.

However, looking at the two they seem to have some spark, so perhaps?

“Mr. Kane, let me pour you a welcome drink. It’s a prototype but I imagine it’ll do the job.”

I open the magic bag on my shoulder. Then I took out a jug and two glasses.

This magic bag is this year’s birthday gift from my grandfather. It is useful because it does not feel heavy and can carry an amount to fill most needs.

“Welcome.. what is that?”

“Fufufu, it’s a welcome from Alex. Give it a shot.”

When the two received the glass, I poured the contents of the jug into each. When Mr. Kane does not hesitate to try it Abbey follows fastly.

“Is this Ume?”

“Yeah, it’s a good taste, yeah? The sweetness of the pom fruit and the acidity of the lemon are soothing to the tired body. Besides, it’s diluted with water, so the aftertaste is really refreshing.”

“…………”

Although it is an original blend, Mr. Kane guesses the contents with a sip.

I developed it to surprise Mr. Kane, but on the contrary, I was surprised.

“Fufu. You’re surprised, right? Actually, I’ve drank the same thing in the past.”

“Huh…?”

Have you drank it in the past? This was my own idea..

“I used to stay in the castle town of the Pendragon Kingdom. I drank the same thing at the restaurant there. The recipe isn’t open to the public, but I asked the chef to teach me something special.”

“Really……”

It’s a shame that this time it was a self-confident work. Wouldn’t it be surprising if some five year old knew how replicate a professionals work? Not to Kane.

“But this is great. Alex’s recipe is the same as the taste that a professional chef keeps secret. Alex can be proud of his talent!”

“I thought I could create something special this time …”

Kane travels around the world and sees so much.Therefore, the range of knowledge is very wide.

I try to surprise Kane, but he quickly guessed.

Of course, my knowledge is mixed with the knowledge of the game and previous life. I suspect that Kane is actually a reincarnated person.

When I was frowning, Mr. Kane smiled like an inside joke was said. I wink.

“I’m not going to lose with to your knowledge yet.”

“Quite the energetic whippersnapper, I see.”

”What’s a whippersnapper?”

Mia and Gilly were offering questioning looks and Abbey looked, in laymans terms, weirded out.

I winked again and this time Kane winked back. Looks like we had an inside joke.

“Fufu. I’m looking forward to it.”

I and Kane both grinned at each other. Ms. Abbey was looking at us with a bored face.

Gilly and Mia have their eyes peeled on the jug from before. I pour some of the Ume for them.

“Oh, by the way, this boy is Gilly, this girl is Mia, and he’s the rumored child prodigy Alex!”

“Oh, quite the intro. Im not sure I’m worthy.”

“What is a child prodigy?”

Mia asked.

He has a habit of telling things in a funny and interesting way, probably because he is a bard or because of his original personality. I was really interested in knowing who Kane was.

“Well, aside from that, is there anything happening these days in the great wide world?”

I casually ask Kane. Kane seems to understand what I’m asking alone.

“Atlantis in the east is calm. The flying dragon kingdom in the north is still in good shape, and the Holy Light nation in the west is doing well. And the Cars Empire has a little more metal production flowing.”

“I see……”

I think carefully. Kane looks at me with interest, but Abby looks suspicious. Gilly and Mia are absent-minded.

“Where do you think the Cars Empire will attack?”

“The most likely place is Atlantis. Is the Pendragon Kingdom next?”

“That’s right.”

Abbey was scared at the conversation between me and Kane. It seems to be a casual one from a distance, but the content is a war forecast.

“Atlantis’s strength can’t resist the Cars Empire, so the battle will be depending on whether the Pendragon Kingdom will intervene.”

“Yeah, I’d imagine.”

Kane nodded with satisfaction to my expectation.

With Kane’s input, I am now positibe.. A war will occur eventually. I imagine sometime in the next few years too.

In the first place, there has been no war in the last few years, but that was strange to me in itself.

In the game, there was a war between nations almost every month. It is an event called Gongcheng Battle.

If this world is the same as the War Chronicles of Desgarde, a war is imminent.

And, as a game, I participated in the Koujou battle every time, but I have no intention of participating in the battle now.

It’s different from a game that revives even if you die, and at least you can’t play an active part now that I’m not a necromancer.

“… Ah, I’m sorry for this place. I’ll show you to the village mayor’s house, so please rest there first.”

“Yeah. See you later.”

Kane nods to my words. However, Ms. Abbey was stunned.

“Is this really a five-year-old child …?”

“Hahaha……”

Only Mia’s dry laughter echoed.
