Chapter 4 The Path Of Chosen Liberation
"I see, Tatsuma-ojisan was like that too."
"'Like'? What do you mean?"
"Well, you see, Maya, Mahiru-chan, and Asaya-kun were raised in the church."
"Oh, did I make you say something tough?"
"No, it's okay."
I see. It seems like these children have a home to return to, but they don't.
"I'll figure something out on my own, so please take care of these kids, okay?"
"Please leave it to me."
"Then, can I go now, Nelliza-san?"
"Wait, Tatsuma-ojisan."
"Ojisan."
"Ojisan."
"You guys are 'Hero-samas.' I'll manage on my own. Despite appearances, I'm a working adult. It's a bit tough to find a new job at my age, but I could probably manage as a merchant at the very least."
"Um, Tatsuma-san."
"Yes?"
"Please keep the matter of them being Hero-samas confidential."
"Don't worry. I won't say anything."
"Well then, let me guide you to the back."
"Tatsuma-ojisan, take care."
"Ojisan, thank you for everything."
"Ojisan, do your best."
"It was a short time, but take care, everyone. Let's meet again if we're alive. The future will probably be with Hero-samas and ordinary people, I guess."
I turn on my heel and walk out the door. I raise my right hand slightly to greet, then fold it and continue forward.
"Um, Tatsuma-san."
"Yes?"
"The back of the castle is to the left. The right side is a dead end."
"Pupupupu."
"Ahaha."
"Ahahahaha."
"So this is how it ends…"
I heard that the salary for working at the castle is around 6-7 gold coins per month. Being given this much, does that mean they think I'm somewhat troublesome, or is it just to get rid of me? I can't say for sure, but I suppose it's helpful.
Anyway, we only crossed paths on the bus every day, nothing more. But I cursed under my breath, "I hope you explode, you lovey-dovey couple." But as long as they're doing well, I think that's good.
"You can leave the castle from here. I apologize for not being able to do anything, but please take care, Tatsuma-san."
With those words, Nelliza-san extends her right hand. Is it okay to shake hands in this situation?
"Ah, yes. Thank you for everything. I'm sorry for showing you something strange."
"No, it was just an accident."
*Pshoo* My ears turned red enough to make you think I had written a sound effect on them. You really saw it, didn't you? I'm sorry...
"Well, if there's anything, please come visit me here."
I think it's a social gesture, but I appreciate it.
"Yes. Take care."
Accompanied by Nelliza-san, I leave the royal castle behind. Oh, when I looked back, she was already gone. It's work, so it can't be helped...
After sometime, I hit the outer wall. Which way should I go? Let's start with the right. If I go around, I should end up somewhere.
Only the shoes and socks were unharmed, but it's a relief that the shoes were unharmed. I don't want blisters from new shoes.
By the way, this bag filled with gold coins is so heavy. Gold is about seven times heavier than aluminum, right? And silver is about three times. Is the one-yen coin one gram? Hmm, I'm not sure, but it should be heavy. Since my pants don't have pockets, I thought about tying it around my waist, but it wouldn't be funny if it got stolen.
Now, I stopped for a moment. In my head, I casually thought about 'Display Self-Status'. Hoho, it just comes out without even saying it, this screen.
Now, where could this 'Space Magic' be? Hmm, there seems to be something like a status. It feels similar to something I've seen before. Oh, this? Hey, is there an inventory here?
Can I touch it? *Tap* Oh, I touched it. Hoho. Oh, there are all sorts of things in the bag I had. Where did the bag go? I didn't think it would be in a place like this.
There are frames like cells in a spreadsheet software, about 30 frames in total, I guess? There's a smartphone, a charger, a wallet, a pass case, all things that seem useless here. ...Whoa, seriously?
It's the gaming UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC) I bought just last week. It fits snugly in the bag, it's the size of a handheld game, and it has controllers on the left and right of the monitor, so I bought it because I can play MMOs anywhere, but I haven't played it much yet. In fact, I just took it home, connected it to the monitor with HDMI, and used it for work...
Sigh, what a waste. Where did I drop it? Hey, that cost over 200,000 yen. Well, if the battery dies, it's just like a paperweight with the smartphone, isn't it? There's no use crying over spilled milk.
Um, is it impossible to just push this money bag into this slot here directly? "Insert"... Hmm, it won't go in. In MMOs, you could grab it with the mouse in the inventory and then drop it directly, right?
What should I do? "Save," "store," "keep," "put away,"... Hmm, "store," ah, the money bag disappeared from my hand. By the way, isn't it just "money bag" in the inventory? I unconsciously made a retort.
I see, this is the Space Attribute's Space Magic. But hey, it's still the same in the inventory. At least it's usable. Alright, next time... Let's see. I'll aim it up in my palm and think of "money bag."
"Oh, there it is."
I'll think "store" and finish. Now, there's no need to worry about it being stolen. *Clap clap clap clap.*
Hello, we have other project about someone who has returned from an isekai. The main character is a hero who has defeated the Demon Lord.
