v3c83.1 - Intermission 37 - The Impatient Shinobi, Sakura, who can't find her Lord
“W-What is the meaning of this!? I can’t reach Lady Meilin with my own feet!”
It has been four days since Lady Meilin disappeared.
I thought I would be able to catch up with them within half a day since I knew which direction Lady Meilin was in thanks to my Shinobi’s skills.
Since I was a child, I had trained myself to protect Lady Meilin from the shadows, so I could catch up with her by running, even if it was a horse-drawn carriage.
Since Lady Meilin has been imprisoned for a long time and cannot run fast, I think a carriage or horse would be the best way to escape with her.
“…… Don’t tell me, long-distance summoning magic!? No, that would require a magic circle and other preparations. It would be possible if there was a magic circle under the floor, but I don’t think they could put something like that in that tower.”
I had thought that Lady Meilin was rescued with that kind of skill, but I had to consider other possibilities.
The worst-case scenario is that she was not rescued, but rather kidnapped by another force that wanted to use her skills.
For the time being, as long as the direction is indicated by the selfless devotion skill, there is no doubt that Lady Meilin is alive, but even so, it’s taking too much time.
I had to get to Meilin-sama as soon as possible …… and, as I continued running with a sense of impatience, I saw a large town ahead.
I wondered if Lady Meilin was in that town.
“Excuse me. What kind of town is this?”
“Hmm? This is a port town called Nadarra. It is famous for its shark eggs, so please come and try some.”
Nadala is, I believe, the easternmost point of this continent …… and the only way to go further east is to take a boat across the sea, whether you go north or south.
I prayed that Lady Meilin would be in this town, and as I followed my skills…
“O-Oh no …… has Lady Meilin left this continent?”
I had made it to the beach, but my skill still indicated east.
Is she on the sea in a boat, or is she on another continent because of some skill.
Either way, it has become much more difficult to get to Lady Meilin.
However, although the hope is not high, it is not without means.
A transporter–it is quite expensive and requires certain conditions to be met, but they can use a transporter to deliver you to a specific city or to a specific person’s location.
It’s a reasonably large city, so I’m sure there must be one.
I asked around town people and …… I found one!
I don’t know where she is, but the condition will be to transport to a specific person’s location–parents, siblings, blood, or possession of a body part, and not even a shred of hostility–The conditions are met, and the cost …… I barely made it.
The only remaining problem is that we don’t know where Lady Meilin is or who she is with, so we don’t know what the situation is like at the destination.
The first possible pattern is that Lady Meilin was rescued by someone else.
In this case, I would be accepted as a compatriot who supports Lady Meilin.
The second pattern is that she was kidnapped by another organization that is after Lady Meilin’s power.
In this case, I would be transferred to a cage, and in some cases, I would not be able to do anything even if I went to Lady Meilin.
And finally, the third pattern is when Lady Meilin is moving by flight magic or other means.
In this case, I may not be noticed by Lady Meilin, and I may fall into the sea and be left behind.
“I am sorry. I want to send a letter. As soon as I finish it, please proceed on transporting me.”
Considering the worst-case scenario, I’ll send a letter to my little sister, since Lady Meilin has left the continent and I have decided to use the transporter.
If anything should happen to me, my little sister will take care of it.
I went back to the transporter again…
“Thank you for waiting. I’m ready now, so please transport me.”
“I understand. I can just transfer you to the owner of this hair, right?”
“Yes. Yes, please.”
As a servant, I handed Lady Meilin’s hair, which I always carried close to my body, to the transporter, and asked him to examine the current location based on the fragment of magic power left in the hair…
“The transporter has located their location. However, as you may be aware, the transfer to a specific fixed location is different from a transfer to a magic circle, etc., so please forgive me if you’re transferred to the wrong place, which happens in rare cases.”
I got a reply that the transfer had been successfully prepared.
For the transfer accidents …… I can only trust this transfer device, so I can only not think about it.
“By the way, do you know where the transport location is …… I guess not. I’m sorry. I’m just asking.”
The destination is determined by the transporter on its own, so the transporter operator, who only operates the device, can’t know.
For the time being, since I don’t know Lady Meilin’s situation, so I tried to calm myself down and to be prepared to respond flexibly no matter what the situation was…
“I’m ready. Please transfer me.”
“Then please enter the magic circle over there. Have a good trip.”
I entered the magic circle.

In an instant, the scenery changes, and I see a dimly lit tatami room…
“M-Master! More …… please give me more!”
A woman with unnecessarily large breasts was sitting on top of a man, her large breasts bobbing up and down violently.
…… W-Where in the world have I been transported to!?
