I Kinda Came to Another World, but Where’s the Way Home?

My heart, is beating violently.

It accelerates my blood flow, perhaps this is the most ferocious beating Ive ever experienced in my life, and then as if probing my body, the blood flows with each beat.

I do think its painful. The pain is as if my heart is about to explode. However, more than that, theres a certain sensation enveloping my whole body.

Thats, the sensation of growth.

Status.

After defeating the monkey, my staggering body falls to the ground, while lying down, I look at my own status.

Ive become, stronger. Thats how I feel. My strength rose. It has STOP! attached already, but it rose nonetheless.

I was level 1, whereas the monkey was level 54, so I think the experience points I acquired was quite plenty. After leaping directly to level 20, my status is already beyond normal human realm.

My resistance has finally surpassed 3000. With this at the very least Im sure I wont die from E rank demonic beasts attack. You can say thats just how though Ive become. Actually, my status has already shown its effects.

My shaken mind; from getting blown away by the monkey; is already recovered. And how my self-healing ability greatly increased is also one of the proof.

Ompf hmm okay, I think Im fine already. As for my demon eye.

Standing up, I stretch my body and find that its already fine, then I decide to try activating my demon eye again.

not yet, huh. That means its recovery is on different domain than my self-recovery from resistance stat, huh.

My demon eye doesnt activate.

Perhaps, because this is a powerful ability and is classified as innate ability, it isnt necessarily possible to be activated just because my body has already recovered from the fatigue. Should I use it to its very limit, I think I need a certain interval before I can use it again. That means, I wont be able to use it again for the time being.

However, a new way to use the miasma or rather, a way to increase my miasma, knowing it is already a big discovery in itself. As far as Im concerned, this discovery is as important as my leveling up. After all, with this my means of attacking increased by one. And since my strength rose, I think I now should be able to wield larger weapons.

Well then, lets go home Ive defeated one monkey after all, and I also dont want to move my body again for the time being.

If Finia-chan were here, Im sure shed innocently shower me with maliceless insults, but now that Im monologuing by myself like this, Im kind of lonely.

Seems like Im slightly too immersed with my sentiment.

Lets take them back, that ball of insult solely dedicated for me, that sunflower-like smile, also my family.

I stretch my hand to the sky, and clench it tight. Im not sad, because all of my precious things are on my hand. Ive lost nothing.

Saying so to myself, I move my legs and head to the town.

Around the same time, at another location, the hero party had arrived at a certain town different from where Kitsune and the other were. After entrusting the carriage to the stable and reserving lodgings, it was around the time they took rest.

For the room assignment, Nagi, Cecil, and Jik were together in one room, where Finia, Lulu, and Silphy were in another one. For Nagi, he preferred for males and females to have separate rooms and proposed that Cecil, Finia, and the others to be together, however Cecil said that being together with the hero was her duty, so he compromised.

By the way, seeing that, Jik thought her as a very obstinate woman.

Currently, Finia, Lulu, and Silphy were in their room and were resting on the bed. They werent sleeping, they were only lying down. Inside the carriage, their minds were pretty strained, that was why mental-wise they were pretty worn out.

Are you okay, Lulu-chan?

Im fine Im just slightly tired.

I see, you mustnt force yourself, okay? Want to relax a bit?

yes, thank you very much.

Mental-wise, she was still a twelve-year old child, even if she had determination to get stronger, her body and mind wouldnt necessarily follow suit that easily. Human wouldnt change so abruptly.

However, even if that was indeed the case, as far as Finia was concerned, Lulu was slightly forcing herself.

Finia felt as though Lulu was hurrying to get stronger as fast as possible.

However, toward such Lulu, Finia could only tell her such. Relax a bit, advance slightly more slowly. Because advancing recklessly never led to something good, after all.

By the way, what are you guys going to do from now on?

w, we are hero party that was formed to subjugate the demon lord. Thats why, before subjugating the demon lord, were going to accumulate experience and building up strength to the limit so that we can subjugate the demon lord.

To Finias inquiry, Silphy the magician answered as such. To subjugate the demon lord they had to fight the demonic beasts and demons along the way as well. That means, at their current ability were around that of A ranks, they held no chance at all.

First thing first, they had to build up suitable power. For that sake, the fastest and easiest way was to have powerful weapons and armors.

Hence, the current destination of the hero party was Industrial country Jigveria which was on the opposite side of Rookshide kingdom. By the way, Cecil was the one who called it as such.

Its official name was Repulic Jigveria, different from Grandile kingdom and Rookshide kingdom, it was a democratic kingdom with no king, and the whole citizens were the state.

However, the territory was quite small, with its size, rather than a country it was more close to a town. Thus, this country was also called industrial town, numerous human and dwarves with magic tool craftsman and weapon craftsman as profession resided there.

Also, their abilities were second to none in the world, weapons and magic tools produced there were all certificated. Their fame resounded around the world, each nation recognized that Jigverias manufacture art was world best. Thus, weapons produced there were favorite for numerous adventurers as well as knights.

In this countrys past history, there once existed a legendary weapon craftsman who created a holy sword, even now there were Brave series, Phantom series, and many other weapon series created by famous weapon craftsman.

To prepare for Heros equipment, this was surely the best location.

Hmm I see, got it.

Finia only nodded and responded so. Seeing Finias response, Silphy slightly dropped her shoulders. Even if she no longer completely rejected them as she did at first, seems like there was still a huge gap between Finia and co. and Hero and co.

what a blunder.

I was a miko that was born at Grandile Kingdom, working for the hero was my duty, and offering him my body and soul was also part of it. However, this time was different, I was following Nagi on my own volition, and I was also determined to devote my all to him.

Ever since the moment he was summoned here, he already showed signs befitting those of heroes. Even though he was abruptly summoned here, he was capable of calmly assessing the circumstance. Moreover, even after we explained to him how dangerous his duty to subjugate the demon lord was, he still accepted it with eyes full of confiction, even now I still remembered those eyes. At that moment, Nagi-samas appearance was brimming with the dignity befitting those of heroes.

And then, a week after the summoning ritual, he already acquired prowess befitting of a hero, and even now it was still rapidly rising. I couldnt see the limit of his growth, and that fact gave me conviction that he was indeed someone who was blessed with natural gift.

Thus, I secretly came to liking Nagi-sama. I have no prior such experience, so I was slightly bewildered, but right now we were in the middle of demon lord subjugation journey, such relation between hero and miko, namely love, we couldnt afford to waste time with such matter. However, after we subjugated the demon lord.

However, we were currently in the middle of journey to subjugate the demon lord. Thus, I did think it was a blunder to turn that eerie youth into our enemy.

Demon lord was the symbol of overwhelming destruction, it was an absolute ruler who possessed overwheling power as well as charm (charisma) that made those prideful demons to prostate themselves before it.

However, tha youth was the exact opposite of the demon lord, he was a Shinigami who despite he himself was weak, he possessed dread (charisma) that could make even those who were overwhelmingly more powerful than him to fear him. That definitely wasnt something I want to confront it wasnt a matter of winning or losing, fighting against him in itself was, dreadful.

Without knowing that, I snatched that idea-type fairy (Finia) away, and ultimately warranted that shinigamis wrath. At that time, I couldnt avert my eyes when he was saying talking to me.

Hay-colored right eye, and dark red hollow left eye, even though he only had one eye left, at that time I felt as thought I was being stared from every direction.

Just do your best to run away, since Ill keep on chase, chase, and chase after you, and finally, Ill beat you enough to make you regret what youve done. Ill definitely give you enough fear that will make that pretty face of yours covered by tears and snots, that will make your legs limp and unable to stand up, and finally, it will force you to rub that head of yours on the ground in desperate of asking for my forgiveness.

Those words pierced deep in my heart. Unbearable, the dread at that moment, I even could still vividly remember it.

That was why, it was a blunder. I shouldnt have laid a hand on that youth. When Nagi-sama attacked him, I shouldve stopped him. If we were unlucky, at that day, at that moment, there was a possibility that Nagi-samas mind might break, after all.

Kitsune if my memory serves right, he was an H rank adventurer, wasnt he? How come someone turns into like that, I wonder.

Murmuring so, I took out the snatched mask (Finias life) from my pocket. Id put barriers that absorbed chock and damage on it, so as long as we werent up against demon lord or demons, there should be no chance of it breaking.

For that fairy, and also for that youth, it was something that was very important however, as far as I was concerned, this mask was a chain that tied me to that youth. I honestly wanted to break it as soon as possible.

However, I couldnt do that. Absolutely, that was something I absolutely mustnt ever do.

Should this mask were to break while it was on me, I was sure the moment we meet that Shinigami again, not just Nagi-samas, I was sure itd break my mind as well. Even if Nagi-sama was a hero, itd disregard such a thing and break the human Nagi-sama.

That was why I couldnt afford to break this mask. I absolutely mustnt break this chain.

Its scary but, as his miko, I still have to follow him to the very end.

I couldnt afford to lose. For the first step, I believed I should obtain power enough to oppose that youth. As the heros miko, as well as Nagi-samas partner.

That fairy, as well as that beastman, Id have to utilize everything I had.

That was, for the heros sake, the extent of what I had to do as his miko, that was a duty I had to fulfill no matter what.
