I thought that Frank-san and Virna-san, who had been drinking sake with great vigour to the point of almost emptying the wine cellar in the inn, would be having a bad hangover, but they were surprisingly in a better condition than I thought theyâd be in.
Virna-san seemed like she wouldnât get intoxicated no matter how much sake she drank, while it seemed that Frank-san healed himself from the hangover by using Cure, as usual.
âThe Abbot town is famous for the stonemason giant, right?â
Frank-san talked to Carl-san who came to the outskirts of the village to send us off.
âThereâs a legend there that a giant lost a wager with the townâs feudal lord, and so the giant was made to carry the stones from the quarry to the town.â
âGiant, huh? Do they really exist?â
Karin-san answered Frank-san who was puzzled.
âThe origin of the Abbot town, huh? Iâve heard about it.â
Ooh. As expected of an elf! She was well-informed about the old stories.
âHee. As expected, giants really exist, huh?â
âNo. The story that I heard was about how they won a wager against an earth-attributed magician and had the magician build the town overnight.â
âWhaaâ?! So it was just a dreamlike story, then?â
âHumph. Reality is such a thing.â
Everyone laughed bitterly in response to Karin-sanâs flat declaration.
âIn any case, shall we hurry and head towards the Abbot town?â
Saying that, Frank-san turned around to see Carl-san and the others.
âLetâs pray so that the glory of our one and only god will illuminate your path as husband and wife.â
Frank-san tidily bowed, and at that time, he looked different from his usual self and now showed a face that reflected his nature as a priest.
âThank you for taking care of us. âŠNow then. Shall we go?â
Frank-san showed his usual broad smile as he rode on his horse.
âStill, itâs hard carrying this horn. I wonder what we would do if Noir werenât there?â
After walking for a while, Frank-san said in admiration as he looked at the big-sized Noir who was running side-by-side with him.
After it was decided that weâd sell the Armored Insectâs horn in Abbot townâs adventurer guild, the problem that came up next was how we should transport it.
In the end, we had Noir turn big and have it carry the horn that was fastened on its back.
Noir didnât seem to have a problem being made into a magical beast that transported thing over.
I wonder if weâd be able to enter the Abbot town just like this, then, with the big Noir?
âŠCarl-san had a slightly suspicious face upon seeing the big Noir, but he didnât say anything, so it should be alright. Right.
âIf Noir werenât there, thereâs no other choice but to have Frank carry it.â
âThereâs no way I can carry such a huge thing.â
âWouldnât that be a good chance to use those idle muscles of yours?â
Amanda-san looked at the area around Frank-sanâs arms, and Frank-san brooded over it, âHmmâŠâ
âThinking about it, is it possible for me to carry it after training?â
âWouldnât it be too suspicious and our entry to the Abbot town would be denied because of it?â
I nodded in response to Ar-niisamaâs remark.
Itâd be convenient to have a horse-drawn cart in times like this.
Carl-san offered to arrange a cart for us, but weâd need to go to Graham village again to return the cart, and we didnât know if weâd be using the cart all the time anyway, so we only accepted his good will with gratitude.
In the game, we could pay for a service in it where all party members could ride on an extravagant carriage and advance through, be it through the mountains or the valleys or even in the rough road without any problem.
As expected, there wasnât such a convenient carriage in this world.
I was riding on the horse together with Ar-niisama as I gazed at the unfolding sceneries before my eyes.
Aah, Iâve seen this kind of sceneries in the game.
It was so nostalgic, so heartrending.
Although the sceneries were the same as the game, this place wasnât the game worldâŠ
No, I canât. I canât think negatively like that.
I need to level up more, then go to the Sage Tower, and return to my original world!
I gotta chin upâ! Ouâ!
Ah, right. Talking about levels, we defeated Livyatan the other day, so I shouldâve levelled up more.
I was so looking forward to checking how many levels Iâd levelled up after defeating a boss. There were too many commotions after the Monster Flood so Iâd forgotten about it, but this time, I got to check it properly.
Anyway, I didnât have anything else to do. Got to check it, check it.
âStatus Open.â
I stealthily whispered with a very small voice as Ar-niisama and Frank-san were conversing about Abbot town.
After I whispered, the usual semi-transparent window appeared.

Hooray! My level increased by three. As expected of Livyatan. It seemed to have given me plenty of experience points.
But, hmm. My MP was 399, huh? It was slightly disappointing. Just one more point, and my MP would be a clean 400 points.
I didnât learn any new magic, huh? How unfortunate. Hopefully, Iâd learn something new once I levelled up more.
It was good that my subjugation skill increased, but it seemed like I was only able to keep two familiars, huh?
Perhaps Iâd be able to befriend three familiars once my subjugation skill level turns to 100, I guess.
That would surely be fine, but I wonder if Iâd be able to take care of them allâŠ?
Well, when push comes to shove, Noir would help me out, so it might be alright. Noir was also taking care of Purun, so yeah.
âŠHm? I felt like with a simple brush of Noirâs body, Purun took out its rice candy⊠Perhaps the two of them wouldnât be too much of a trouble after all.
