Tensei Kenja no Isekai Raifu ~Daini no Shokugyo wo Ete, Sekai Saikyou ni Narimashita~ Chapter 141

The Rebuilding was not going Well

“The Iriarch Ravine of death…and so easily! So the rumors were not wrong after all…!”

“The Iriarch Ravine of death…and so easily! So the rumors were not wrong after all…!”

“I didn’t know it was so dangerous…”

Perhaps I was really lucky to have only encountered the Cannibal Tigre.

I would have to thank the Proud Wolf for running so fast that we didn’t have time to run into any other monsters.

…As I was already here, I might as well ask about the bridge as well.

“If it’s such a dangerous place, why hasn’t the bridge been fixed?”

“Ah… You mean the hanging bridge?”

“Yeah. It’s even on the official guild map. Doesn’t that mean it’s an important route?”

I said as I pointed at a map close to the counter.

This one also had the road connecting Ordaron to Iriarch…but in the middle, there was a red ‘X.’

It probably meant that the bridge was down.

But that mark hadn’t been on the map in Boguinea, so this guild had probably added it themselves.

In any case, without this routes, neighboring towns would find it quite difficult to travel around.

At worst, you might be forced to take a route that was three times as long.

It would have a tremendously negative effect on the transportation of goods.

“Yes. That hanging bridge was very important to this town. …But it was destroyed by a fire.”

“A fire… Do you know what caused it?”

“We do not. We wanted to investigate it, of course. But the evidence is at the bottom of the ravine, which is too dangerous to go.”

I see.

If the bridge was destroyed by a mysterious fire…perhaps it was the work of the Blue Moon of Salvation.

“Umm… There are plans to rebuild it.”

“…Really?”

“Yes. But we are having trouble in terms of the funds, as it’s being negotiated with Ordarion… We do hope to open the road again soon…”

So the rebuilding was being stalled because of Ordarion.

The Blue Moon of Salvation sure liked to cause a lot of trouble…

I would have to have the slimes look into this as well.

There may be a lot of shocking information to uncover there.

“We would be very grateful if you could help once construction begins!”

“Yeah. If you put out a request, I’ll try to help as much as I can.”

Though, I had a feeling the day wouldn’t come.

If it really was the doing of the Blue Moon of Salvation, then they would not allow it to be rebuilt very easily.

They would clearly use any method they could to prevent it.

…However, it might be a good thing for this town to be cut off from Ordarion.

Who knew when they would attack if there was a hanging bridge there.

A short while later.

I accepted the reward money and left the guild.

‘How are you guys in Ordarion?’

‘I’m fine!’

‘They haven’t found me!’

When I asked for an update, they all replied cheerfully.

Even though the Blue Moon of Salvation had a surveillance system that included people who had blended in with the residents, they were unable to find my slimes, as they were protected by concealment magic.

The slimes were currently observing the residents in an attempt to find out who was a member.

Knowing who was a part of the Blue Moon of Salvation would become incredibly important in the future.

I would have also liked to find out if there were any traps set up in the town…but I suppose that could come later.

Considering their skills in that department, I doubted the slimes would be able to find it so easily.

‘Understood. And don’t worry, I’ll prepare some meat for you all.’

‘Yay!’

So…the problem was having the slimes trade places and sending the food.

If the slimes were close to each other, something put into ‘Slime Storage’ in one slime could be taken out by another… But it didn’t work if they were far apart.

That meant that if I wanted to send food to Ordarion, I would have to have a slime carry it all of the way there.

I pondered over this as I headed to a meat shop.

As I had just gotten paid, I could buy lots of food for the slimes.

◇

“…That’s all they have?”

I muttered as I looked at the meat counter.

This town had a pretty good selection.

There were famous meats and mystery monster meats.

However… It did not seem like it would be enough for the slimes.

As I had tamed an incredible number of slimes, it was out of the question to have anything less than an incredible amount of meat.

Jawbrie: Thanks for reading!

Both ‘Tensei Kenja’ and ’10 Years After’ only have about 20 chapters before I catch up with the latest releases. So I’m open to picking something else up. Suggestions will have to be Japanese web novels. It can be something never translated before.

Also, January and February are really, really rough in terms of ad revenue, so please consider supporting the site by turning off adblock if possible. Thank you.

I look forward to seeing your suggestions!
