Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu Chapter 207

Normal and Sponsored Chapter

The Meiris Lake and the surrounding land is a special area that is managed by the Limia Kingdom.

In the public, there’s a number of fronts, but in essence, it is the same as Gritonia Empire; a place that they have formed a contract with a dragon and the royal family is protecting.

Different from the Empire, the contract is something of the long past and has already begun fading from the memories of many people in Limia, and now only the royal family and nobles with authority know of the details.

Currently, the common knowledge of the Meiris Lake is not that it is the territory of a Superior Dragon, but that it is the training place of Limia with the highest danger level.

Misumi Makoto and Otonashi Hibiki were riding their horses and entered through the closest eastern gate, and they walk through the surface of earth that was made from the steps of others.

By the way, the guards of the eastern gate were suddenly notified that the hero would be going and were at their peak in nervousness. After desperately doing the explanation of Meiris Lake and safely finishing their introductions, they kneeled down.

“In Japan, horse riding is considered a special skill, but here, you just naturally learn it.” (Hibiki)

“Right, I was like that as well.” (Makoto)

“How many times did you experience having your horse run at full speed?” (Hibiki)

“Hm, it was a short distance, but around three times. Senpai seems to be quite used to riding. Do you ride them normally? Or did you have experience when you were in Japan?” (Makoto)

“Yeah, I had normal experience in Japan. But because I only knew the basics, it actually made it harder since I had to get used to riding on the horse and to the change of viewpoints. Even when it is the same form, the techniques required were different.” (Hibiki)

At the Meiris Lake, there’s a forest, a prairie, and a number of hills; and all of those together, make it as if it is one big national park.

Defeating mamonos or ending up as their meal are all your own responsibility.

The two were in a forest not far away from the capital that’s thick enough to be called a sea of trees. They were doing a conversation that didn’t fit the place as they walk through it.

They encountered mamonos a few times, but Hibiki cut them with the end of her sword.

Makoto was only following her from behind.

“By the way, Makoto-kun, this is the first time I have heard of people living in this place. What is it you are delivering?” (Hibiki)

“Sorry, it is supposed to be a secret, so I can’t answer. If the other party doesn’t mind it, I will show you at that time.” (Makoto)

“Too bad. The reason was plain curiosity, but I might as well try asking the other party.” (Hibiki)

Hibiki was really interested in the object that Makoto was delivering, but she easily drew back.

If she were to forcefully try to take a look at it or learn of it, it would be obvious that it would make the atmosphere heavy, and there was no benefit in that.

“Even so…Senpai has gotten strong. It seems like there’s no need for me to do anything. If I remember correctly, when you were in Japan, you were a national level swordswoman.” (Makoto)

Makoto remembers that Hibiki was an exemplar kendo user and nods.

There was one time when Makoto had seen a match of hers since the archery club match was over and it was close.

At that time, the eyes of Makoto saw in the sword of Hibiki, not only kendo, but also an old sword style mixed in it as well. He didn’t touch on that point though.

“My role is to protect you after all. If I weren’t able to protect you on my own, I would have called my companions as well. It is a place where I am plenty enough, that’s why it is only the two of us, that’s all there’s to it. I don’t know if you actually need a bodyguard since you are able to make people like Tomoe-san and Mio-san obey you though.” (Hibiki)

And in truth, Hibiki was not actually acting as a bodyguard.

Hibiki’s objective was to have a connection with Makoto, and keeping him in check.

“No, it was a great help that Senpai was in Limia. Because with just Mio and Lime, I don’t think the people of the country would be able to trust us. Even if we have power…it doesn’t mean they will trust us.” (Makoto)

Makoto honestly answers.

If only power was necessary, Makoto would be more trusted by others.

And in truth, Makoto -the Kuzunoha Company’s Raidou- is being seen as a shady existence mostly because of his way of acting, but in a sense, Makoto felt the ‘limit of only having power’.

To reach that conclusion you need to be quite the special case, and even if he feels it, the experience he should be gaining is a different problem.

At the very least, the current Makoto still doesn’t have a clear grasp of the worth of his power.

“…Power is…the basis of everything. When you have enough of it, trust will take form in some way and follow you.” (Hibiki)

“Is that how it works?” (Makoto)

Hibiki has been compensating for her weakness of long ranged attacks with magic and sword technique.

The fire spear that was released from her had pierced through the beast that came lunging at us, and was now carbonized.

The first sign of the attack was when the branches shook from the jump.

With a short aria, she was able to form a relatively powerful magic. This point made me feel the power of a hero.

If the people in Rotsgard Academy were able to do this, they would be able to gain a pretty big advantage.

It is not anything unique, but her foundation has been carefully polished by talent and hard work.

Her ability to defeat the enemy without them being able to do anything was something that made the people looking understand how incredible it was.

Hibiki opened a bit of time and gave an opinion to Makoto’s words, and glances at him.

The fire spear that was shot in front of Makoto’s eyes, the sword technique of Hibiki; Makoto gave words of admiration instead of surprise to all of those as he followed her.

“As an individual, an organization, or in an even bigger society; in the end, people are practically doing a competition in how much of that ‘power’ they can obtain. It’s as if they are placing that basis as their ever
