Chapter 24 - Magnolia

Jin, Erza, Kagura, and Simon were sitting together on the grass while gazing at the fire that keeping them warm in this forest.

Jin was roasting some meat on the fire.

The three were talking and chatting happily. Sounds of their laughter could be heard in this dark silent forest.

"You see! Brother Jin defeated that big monster like this" Kagura said as she copy Jin. She slashed her hands in the air.

"Like this! Boom! Bam!"

Simon laughed at her and Erza just smile.

"It's finish let's eat" Jin said as he passed the roasted meat to them.

The four of them eat their food while chatting about various things. After they finished eating their food Jin let them sleep.

He looked at the three before he sat down in a lotus position while closing his eyes. He started to circulate his soul power and strengthen his foundation. The stronger his foundation the more he will get stronger in the future.

He examined his body and said, "I've reach a bottleneck. I need a catalyst or stimulation to breakthrough."

Jin was already at 5 star Black Gold rank last month but it seems that he reach a bottleneck in his cultivation. He couldn't breakthrough to Legend rank. If he have resources he may be able to do it but he didn't have.

Jin sighed in his mind. All he could do now was to strengthen his foundation and practice his sword skills.

He already made his plan. Before he leave this word he would complete all the mission first and leave to the next world before he go back to DxD world.

"Hmm? It's already morning should I wake them up now" Jin muttered as he stood up and wake the three.

While they were travelling kagura asked Jin.

"Brother Jin can you please teach me how to use sword?"

'Oh? She's taking an interest in sword now. Well in the future she's proficient in using sword.' Jin thought.

Seeing that he didn't respond Kagura asked him once again.

"Can you please, Brother Jin?" Kagura made a pitiful sound and looked at him with puppy eyes.

"Sure" Jin nodded at her.

"Me too" Simon also said.

Erza shyly raised her arm.

Jin smile at them as he patted their heads.

...

Another month have passed and they arrived in a huge town called Magnolia.

"We're finally here" Jin said while looking at the bustling town. This was not a town anymore it's more like a city. Well, you will know that this is a city if you watch the anime but I haven't watch it. I'm a manga reader.

Jin shook his head as his imagination was going wild once again.

""Wow!!"" Kagura and Simon exclaimed while looking at the big city. Erza opened her eyes widely as she observed the city.

It's their first time seeing a city this big. They came from a small village and haven't seen anything in this world. They only read it from the books.

"Let's go" Jin said to them before he walked forward. The three immediately followed him.

The four strode around the city as they looked for any interesting things they could see. The city were desing in western style and it kind of remind him of Medieval town.

They were pretty excited especially Kagura. She looked around with an excited expression all over her face. Her eyes were sparkling when she see new things. The group also visited the famous landmarks of Magnolia.

And when they want something Jin will buy those things for them.

You asked why did I have jewels, currency of Fiore. Of course I looted it at the Rosemary village and those people that I killed. I think it's a loss if I didn't took these jewels with me so I took all the jewels in Rosemary village. Well even if I took all those money it's still wasn't enough to make me rich. After all that town was pretty isolated and there's only a few mechant that went there every month to exchange some goods.
