Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

Page 108

That was indeed Ariel's nonsense.

We returned along the road and returned to where everyone was.

Just as I was about to report the situation.

The snowstorm, which seemed to be going on for a very long time, suddenly disappeared, and the raging wind stopped as well, as if the harsh environment had never existed.

It was as if an invisible giant hand had wiped away all the dark clouds in the sky.

"Looks like we don't need any caves. We can move on."

Ariel said lightly.

Although the royal family of Ranoa was puzzled by the capricious weather changes, they didn't say anything in the end. After all, being able to move forward was always a good thing.

As for the others, they had no opinions at all.

Except for Alyssa.

She lay on Sarah like a kitten, sniffing her all over, while staring at me warily, like a pervert.

But in the end, he probably got a satisfactory result and gave me a smug smile.

"..."

What on earth is this guy so proud of?

Female ketones are scary.

"So, nothing happened between you?"

Rudeus quietly came to my side.

"You could say that, but it's much better than I thought."

I smiled and took out the scroll Rudeus had given me earlier.

That is the scroll of the earth-type advanced magic earth fortress.

By injecting magic power into it, an airtight space can be created. Rudeus gave this to me, probably hoping that Sarah and I could use it if necessary.

Although it was not used in the end, the result is always good.

"It helped a lot."

"No, it's nothing compared to what you've done for me."

Rudeus shrugged and took the scroll.

"Speaking of which, if you and Sarah start dating officially, what are your plans for Qixing?"

"..."

I looked up at the sky in the distance.

There was no answer for a moment.

Rudeus felt bored and changed the subject:

"By the way, regarding the trip to the Demon Continent, when do you plan to leave?"

"Is everything okay on your end?"

"Well, Sylphy and Roxy have settled down. Now, even if they die accidentally, it won't be too regretful."

"Don't make it sound so scary. If you really died in the Demon Continent, I wouldn't be able to explain to Sylphy and Roxy."

I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Judging from Rudeus's expression, he was probably just joking.

but……

That's right.

It’s about time to go to the Demon Continent.

My time has started to flow, which may mean that my mission has ended. The only thing that worries me now is Qixing's Dulai disease which has not yet occurred.

As long as I can successfully bring back the Socas grass, I can completely let go of everything.

Then, by that time...

I can give Sarah everything I have.

……

The rest of the tour went smoothly.

Although there were monster attacks on the road, they faced no threat at all in the face of the super-sized guard team. Sarah also demonstrated her superb adventurer skills, and every time she attacked, her arrows could fly into the eyes of the attacking monsters.

I really don't know where she learned archery.

After completing the pilgrimage, we parted ways.

Rudeus, Ariel, and I went back to our respective homes, while Sarah followed the escort team to escort the royal princess back to the hotel.

They will stay here for a day or two and then continue their pilgrimage along the fixed route.

Before leaving, I handed Sarah my address, which she took without much comment, but simply nodded, appearing quite mature.

I kind of understood what Sarah was thinking.

Because she wants to appear more reliable in front of the juniors, she has always treated me with coldness. What she actually thinks, only she knows.

The answer to this puzzle will be revealed soon.

Specifically, tonight.

Human-God Chapter: 107, Night

The sun gradually sets in the west.

The sunset glow at dusk dyed half the sky red, bringing a touch of warmth to this cold snowy country.

I leaned against the gate of Lanoa University of Magic, looking at the setting sun from time to time, waiting anxiously.

Sarah said she would come back to see me tonight.

But she didn't tell me exactly what time it was.

I told her I was currently living at Lanoa University of Magic, and to be on the safe side, I simply waited at the gate. However, as the sun was about to set and there was still no sign of Sarah, even with my best patience, I couldn't help but get anxious...

Just then, I suddenly noticed.

On the street where the crowds were gradually sparse, a woman in casual clothes was walking towards this side step by step, looking at a map.

She has short golden hair, which looks warm and bright in the afterglow of the setting sun. Her eyes are as deep as the blue ocean, clear to the bottom and emitting a faint light.

Her legs, slender and graceful, were wrapped in white over-the-knee socks. Paired with a pair of ankle boots, she walked briskly, and even her slightly loose casual attire couldn't conceal her slender and graceful figure. She looked like an elf walking in the spring breeze.

"Sarah!"

I couldn't help but wave and shout to her.

It seemed like it heard my voice.

Sarah quickly quickened her pace and walked towards me.

Although Sarah looks very handsome in adventurer costume, she is also very cute in casual clothes.

And I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the pair of knee-high socks Sarah is wearing looks very familiar…

No, it should be the pair I just returned to her, right?

I didn't expect to put it on right away.

However, as I thought, no matter what kind of socks, they only look good when worn by someone. The soft fabric only becomes richer when supported by elastic and smooth thighs...

"Hey, stop staring at me. Am I dressed weird?"

Sarah looked away slightly and said shyly.

"Oh, sorry, I was a little mesmerized when I first saw Sarah's new look."

"... You, you can't keep being so smooth-talking."

"I'm just stating the facts... Rather than that, please come in quickly."

"Ah."

Sarah nodded slightly.

Although Lanoa Magic University is a school, it does not implement a closed management system. As long as they are led by someone from the school, even ordinary adventurers can enter and exit freely.

Walking through the streets and alleys inside the college.

Soon, I took Sarah to the gate of the research building.

"This is it."

I took out my key, opened the door to the laboratory, and invited Sarah in.

Although Qixing has left temporarily, she is still a student and the deadline for the laboratory she applied for has not yet arrived, so the right to use it is still in Qixing's hands.

When Qixing left, he took away all the research data.

After all, transfer magic is taboo and belongs to the research content that cannot be made public, so nothing can be left behind.

That being said, some of the furnishings in the room cannot be taken away due to their size, so one can still see traces that this room was once used as a research laboratory for magic.

"I never thought you'd be so accomplished in magic research, even though you don't look like an intellectual type."

Looking at the furnishings in the room, Sarah couldn't help but feel surprised.

"How can it be."

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Although I am using this laboratory now, it used to be Shizuka Nanahoshi's laboratory."

"Nanaboshi Shizuka?"

"Haven't I told you about her? She's kind of my companion. During the years I was an adventurer, she was always conducting research here. Until recently, she left because her research yielded results."

I said, pointing to the door on the side of the laboratory.

"Her room is behind that door, and my room is on the other side."

“Really… Hmm…”

Sarah blinked.

But in the end, he said nothing.

I opened the door to my room.

I cleaned the room before coming here, so it should be tidy.

Sarah came into the room right after me.

She put her hands behind her back and looked around the interior of the room curiously, like a curious baby.

I couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"Well, sit here for a while. I'll make some tea."

"No, forget about making tea. Let's get straight to the point."
