CH 34

I left on the spur of the moment, but I wondered if it was okay… ? Did they hate me… ?

I should apologize to Suzu at school tomorrow…

I’m now wandering farther west, away from the center. I wonder if there is anything here…

「――――Do you mind?」

「……….」

「―――Are you…」

It’s a little noisy in front of me. No, it’s crowded… ?

As I got closer…

「Please respond in some way! !」

「……….」

「I knew it…」

「……….」

It seemed that various people were talking one-sidedly to the old man with a pair of horns on the rear of his head.

When I asked a player who was around, he replied, 「He said he was looking for someone」. In the Bulletin Board, I heard that there has been a Dragonborn sitting in silence for days. There was a lot of talk about it.

And so the players are talking to that old man as a challenge.

Well, it’s not my problem――

「………. You」

「「「「「「Eh?」」」」」」

I was about to walk past him when he spoke to me.

And then, unintentionally, I coincided with the timing of everyone’s shouting… Everyone is confused by his sudden word…

And that was aimed at me, right? What? Why? Why are your eyes on me? Hey! ? Why! ?

「… You there. Do you hear me?」

「H- Hai! !」

「I see. Then come a little closer」

「I- I understand…」

The mysterious old man with a very uptight attitude calls me over, and so I did. I don’t know why I can’t resist, but I comply. I wonder if my instincts tell me that I will be killed if I resist… ?

But why… ? What did I do… ?

「Don’t be so nervous」

「! ?」

「I see… Is this right?」

Suddenly, all the colors faded away except for me and the old man.

When I looked around in panic because it suddenly became quiet, I noticed the motionless people standing there staring at me.

What on earth did I misunderstand… ?「Is this alright?」 What? Everyone’s frozen, right? Of course I’m nervous! I’m in the middle of a city, and someone who’s probably going to kill me is asking me to come near him!

「Have you calmed down?」

「… Yes」

It’s not uncommon to have so many things going on that you become calm instead of the other way around. That’s what’s happening right now. Yes.

「… I knew you were as good as I thought you were!」

「Eh?」

「I found out a while ago that my successor is coming to this city!」

「When? A successor? ?」

What in the world is this old man talking about?

「Wai- Wait a minute!」

「What is it?」

「W- What are you talking about?」

「You are my successor!」

「Ehh! ? I don’t know! That’s not true! !」

「No! You’re my successor! … I’ll show up again when you finished creating this」

「Such selfishness… Hm?」

I look at the blank piece of paper that was forced on me after I was declared to be his successor.

「… What’s this?」

「This is a recipe for a sword」

「The recipe… There’s nothing written on it…」

「Don’t worry, you’ll get to see it eventually!」

「When is that?」

「I don’t know… When the time comes, you’ll know how to create it」

「Huh… ?」

「Then work hard」

「Eh? Ah, Hey! ?」

I reached out and found nothing there…

「He’s gone! ?」

「What the hell is going on! ?」

「Maybe that girl knows something!」

「Who’ll go! ?」

「I can’t do it! ! You go! !」

「Wha! ? I can’t! It’s impossible to talk to a beautiful girl like that――」

It’s getting a little out of hand… Let’s get out of here.

Then, after a beautiful girl logged out, the city returned to its normal lively atmosphere as if nothing had happened.

――――

――

「Kuku… I have found you, my successor. If you can create it, I will give you another one」

「I’m looking forward to it… My successor…」

The old man muttered to himself as he looked out over the garden.
