Let’s send the crying woman back

(+) Argo Mountain, Cave at midway, The next morning

“Alright, ‘Mr. Mountain’, add earth there~”

The corpses of four adventurers were quickly covered with earth.

The location was inside the cave. After Kazane created the golem ‘Mr. Mountain’, she let ‘Mr. Mountain’ carry the adventurers to the hole that was made from ‘golem maker’ and buried them.

(I can’t bury them outside with snow, and if I leave them like this, they will become Monster food. Well, there’s a possibility that a monster might dig them out even though they are buried here)

Actually Kazane doesn’t really understand whether it is good enough or not, but since Ruu, who’s their companion, gave her acceptance, she decided that this might be best for now. Then in the hardened soil, she placed a cross shaped wood. After that Ruu said a few things, the meagre funeral for the four adventurers ended.

“Thank you very much. Because of you, I think my companion´s will be able to move on to the next world peacefully.”

“No no. Don’t worry about it.”

Even though Kazane said something like that, she didn’t sleep that night and her head still feels fuzzy. However because of the circumstance, she had to work hard to pull herself together since it’s not a good idea to leave Ruu alone in this kind of condition.

“Then, Ruu. Since the burial is more or less finished, what will you do? If it’s only to ‘Conrad town’, then I am willing to send you back.”

‘If Ruu wants to return to ‘Conrad’, then I wouldn’t mind sending her back. She can challenge the ruin again afterwards,’ thought Kazane.

“‘Conrad’…”

However after pondering for awhile, Ruu shook her head.

“The truth is. My companions and I intended crossing the border climbing this mountain. I want to return to my hometown. However, yesterday, we met the blizzard.”

Though, they did say challenging the mountain with this kind of outfit is reckless…Ruu said while letting out a sad laugh.

“Well, that’s true.”

“However, if it is a clear day like now, I think it’ll be fine.” Saying that, Ruu turned her back to Kazane.

“I’m going.” Ahead is the forest, then past that is the ‘Tsuvara Kingdom’.

“Alright. Well then.”

Kazane didn’t stop her and bid her farewell. Even if she’s alone, it should be fine and anyway, other than returning to ‘Conrad town´, Kazane doesn’t know any other directions for traveling. However, there’s one thing Kazane must say to Ruu.

“Ruu, do you know there’re ogres at the town the day before yesterday.”

Hearing that Ruu’s back twitched.

“I saved them. The old man and those kids.”

Ruu turned to look at Kazane.

“Eh, real…ly?”

Hearing that Kazane nods.

“That’s why, well, you don’t have to worry about them.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

Saying that, Ruu runs to the forest.

Ahead of her is the border of ‘Minishia Kingdom’s’ neighbouring country, ‘Tsuvara Kingdom’. If Ruu didn’t lie, then their party’s hometown should be ‘Tsuvara Kingdom’…thought Kazane.

“Then I’ll go too.”

(+) Argo mountain, prior to the submit

After she separated from Ruu, Kazane turned extremely quiet. She keeps thinking about Ruu, it even created a delusion causing Kazane think that something is behind her.

The ‘Coral temple’ came to view, when the sun had reached its peak and that’s when Kazane’s nervousness finally cleared up.

“Fi.Na.Ly.I.DID.IT!!!!!!!!!”

Standing on the top of ‘Mr. Mountain’, she shouted while making the ‘guts’ pose. She even had tears falling down her cheeks.

“DANGEROUS and… SAFE! SAAAFEEE!!!”

Even her speech became eccentric. Actually it’s not because she’s happy reaching the temple, but because she had been feeling driven into a corner since yesterday.

By the ‘spirit of a dead person’, Ruu.

“Well, seriously. I worried about what would become of me, but with this, it is fine. It’s O.K.A.Y.”

The situation she had been through was similar with one of ‘Zexiahart’s random journey event’ ‘The collapsed and dying traveller’. (ED: It’s from the game)

In short, it is an event about finding a camp in a cave with only one survivor, however even the survivor died there. After that, the ghost NPC would appear taking form of its previous shape from when it was still alive, and then it will follow the player.

When appearing, the ghost has a plus and minus parameter and it depends on a player’s choices. The ghost may go to ‘Nirvana’ or become evil spirit. If the ghost goes to ‘Nirvana’, it might give an item, but if it is turned into an evil spirit, then combat will commence. Even if you win, you’ll be possessed. Also, if you ignore it, then when the time ends, it will possess you and give you the bad status ‘possessed’.

Party members that are possessed and sometimes become confused, they won't be able to return to sanity by themselves. That’s why, if you’re alone, then you are more or less dead.

As long the ghost is still there, you can’t sleep. You need to continue to talk and regulate it so that the balance will go to the positive side. The time limit is at noon, the next day.

After the last line at noon, Kazane confirmed that she wouldn’t be possessed. Finally, Kazane judged that she had passed the danger.

That said, before meeting Ruu, she didn’t know that it’s that event.

What Kazane understood at first from their scent was, they’re the guards of the merchant and slave girl that Kazane saved on her way to ‘Conrad town’.

According to Ruu’s words then they had intended to escape crossing the border. Since they can’t return to the town, they ran with their current equipment and meet an accident and then they died.

That’s why Kazane feels relieved from the bottom of her heart for successfully evading the event.

“Ugu…”

That’s why her tears are also tears of happiness. Successfully evading danger that was approaching is a happy thing.

Of course she is not crying because of that young woman’s unfair death and the regret from been unable to save the people in front of her, or even from remembering the lonely back of that woman.

Kazane persuaded herself.

“Yup, I must go.”

Kazane wipes her tears. If she doesn’t change her mood now, she might die.

Kazane didn’t tell Yumika the method to take the ring for summoning the heroic spirit or how absurdly dangerous it is.

You can take this trial at level 8, even win and then obtain the ring.

However, easily met death is also possible.

The event that gives the player a ring to summon a heroic spirit. The content of this event is…?

Kazane : eh? The skill increased?

Yumika : Perhaps that’s Ruu’s? Invisible is turning transparent right? A skill that is usually used by ghost type monsters.

Kazane : I didn’t defeat her though?

Yumika : At the event, when she goes to ‘Nirvana’, you usually got an item, right? Then perhaps this is the substitute reward?
