Chapter 31 Moving Out Of Duphia For The First Time

The next morning, Jason decided to sleep in late. Despite the resolution he had felt, there was no point in practicing twice without the proper guidance.

Jason would practice just in the evenings and be done with it.

Risa didn't wake him up either since she knew that Jason had overheard her and Issac last night. She instead decided to lay down and have some rest but Risa wasn't the type of woman who could easily nap in the afternoon.

'Maybe I should just take the kids out with me…' She stood up ten minutes later before sighing and patting herself on the back for trying.

Risa realized that noon was steadily approaching and that Jason was still asleep. Risa had to admit that she had seen her children break records but Jason was next level.

'I guess that's enough sleep for now.' She thought while climbing the stairs and entered Jason's room situated right beside the stairs.

Inside, the boy was sleeping on the bed in a weird twisted sort of way. His mouth was slightly open and if Risa squinted a bit, she could see that he was drooling on his pillow.

"Somethings never change." She muttered while remembering how Issac slept and how Michael used to sleep. She then shook her head before she walked beside the bed.

Risa reached forward and put her index finger directly above Jason's face. A second later, water sprayed out from the tip of her finger and splashed on Jason's face.

"Ahh!" Jason immediately sat up with a bewildered expression just to see Risa standing right beside his bed.

"Get ready. We are going on a trip outside the town." Risa grinned at her grandchild's expression before drying him with her magic and leaving the room.

Jason watched her walk away as he stifled a yawn and stood up. He quickly got ready for the day before going down and eating breakfast.

Nora was also present there though he had eaten his breakfast hours ago. Nora had also been informed of his parents and Issac's journey though he didn't know the real reason for it.

Both he and Nora were however distracted and extremely excited about the trip since it was the first time they would be going out of their town and exploring the wilds.

"Don't leave my side and don't do anything unless I ask you to. Those are the only things you have to take care of and we will have fun." Risa explained as she arrived at the dining room with a bag on her shoulder.

The two kids nodded enthusiastically as they left the manor. Risa didn't lock it in any visible way and simply made the two children walk in front of her. She then guided them towards the back of the town where the fields expanded.

Duphia was divided into three parts, the outskirts of the entrance of the town, the town itself, and the fields that stretched behind the town.

The fields were where the people went to work and were further connected to the forest beyond them. They were also one of the major revenue-generating things or rather, the only revenue-generating thing that happened in the town.

Risa was taking the two of them to the forest beyond the fields since that area was much safer as compared to other parts of the forest that surrounded the town.

'That's wheat and rice and vegetables. Most of the crops are the same as what they were on Earth.' Jason observed while walking through the fields.

He was able to identify many of the crops but there were some he had never seen before. But since he wasn't going to be a botanist, he didn't pay much attention to them.

They continued to walk under the scorching sun for half and before the trio reached the middle of the fields.

A structure was built there for the farmers to rest and get some shelter from the sun.

"Grandma, why didn't you tell us that half of your time will be spent on actually exiting the town?" Jason asked while sitting down on a bench inside the structure.

Nora sat beside him and wiped the sweat off his forehead. The two of them were tired of walking this much, especially under direct sunlight which was expected since they barely moved outside.

"Walking is good for your health. When you grow up, you will be adventuring and that would require you to walk." Risa reminded as she took the bag on her back off.

"Unless we catch ourselves a steed." Jason pointed out as Risa smiled and nodded. She then took out the lunch and passed it to the two children.

'That is unless I create a car here.' Jason thought while eating as the system chuckled at his words.

[ You think creating a car is easy? ] It asked smugly.

'How hard it can be?' Jason asked without realizing that his nightmares from Earth were soon about to start.

[ Well for starters… ] The system then launched into a ten-minute lecture that covered the basics and fried Jason's brain to the core. Even the sun hadn't had that effect on him.

'Never mind… I will just settle for carriages if they exist.' He replied while sighing.

[ You can definitely create those if they don't exist. ] The system replied cheerfully as the trio started walking again.

After another hour of walking, they finally reached the point where the fields connected with the forest.

A fence governed the boundaries of the fields, most likely to prevent beasts from coming in. Jason had read a bit about the beasts with the help of the system but the books Jason had been given to read didn't contain much information.

"Don't touch the fence or you will get electrocuted," Risa said in a warning tone as she looked at Nora.

The young demi-human was about to touch the pointed fence but backed off on Risa's warning. She then grabbed and lifted both of them up while looking around the fence.

'So they sealed the exit,' She thought before looking at the top of the fence which was almost twice her height. 'They should know that this can only stop the weakest of the beasts. If the big ones decided to attack, this fence wouldn't even tickle them.'

Risa then tightened her grip on the two children and bent down. The next second, she had jumped over the fence and landed on the ground of the forest on the other side.

Jason and Nora were both left shocked and amazed by what they had just gone through. The entire thing had happened in the blink of an eye and they had crossed the fence.

'System, she had jumped over the fence right?' Jason asked in a dazed tone>

[ Yes, host. Do you need me to show it to you in slow motion? ]

'No need…' Jason still felt shocked as Risa set him and Nora down with a grin.

"I don't like to boast but your grandfather isn't the only one who can do cool things at an old age." She added before looking around the forest with a relaxed look.

The forest around Duphia was like her playground so Risa wasn't too bothered that any beast would attack them. And even if any of them did appear, she could easily defeat them.

"So, are you both ready for some exploring?"
