51-アンクワール諸島
蔵人は瞼に突き刺さる太陽の光を感じ、目を覚ます。
服はすでに乾きつつあり、服に入り込んだ砂が気持ち悪い。
そんなことをのんびり感じていると、猛烈な喉の渇きを感じた。
蔵人はのそりと起き上がりながら、水精に頼んで水を出してもらい、顔を上げて、水を流し込む。
空は青く、雲一つない。
首に水が流れるのもお構いなしに、蔵人は乾いたスポンジが水が吸うように、ごくごくと喉を鳴らし続けた。
渇きも癒え、ようやく一息ついて周囲を見渡す。
砂浜だった。
誰もいない。
目の前に海があり、その向こうにはいくつもの島が見えた。
イライダたちは、別の島に流されたのかもしれない。
後ろを見ると、背の高い曲がりくねった木々と縦横無尽に伸びる太い蔦、さらには陸と海の際から生える木が組み合わさって、鬱蒼としたジャングルになっていた。
ギラギラと照りつける太陽も暑いが、肌にジメジメと感じるほど湿度も高く、気温自体も高い。
「......日数的にサウランってこともないだろうな」
蔵人の独り言に当然答える相手はいない。
とりあえず、自分の持ち物を点検しだす蔵人。
身につけていた武器はとりあえず無事だが、トランクはなかった。
食料リュックはほとんど空のリュックのような形態のため、腕に巻きつけておくことができたが、それが功を奏したらしく無事だった。
「絵は全滅か......魔導書もか」
また書きなおさなくてはならないと蔵人はため息をつく。
の全てを記憶しているわけではない。
食料リュックに入っている魔法教本にメモを挟んでいるのだ。これは以前に蔵人が偶然みつけた抜け道のようなもので、メモ程度なら、魔法教本に挟んでおいて食料リュックに入れられるのだった。
つまり、同じ紙である紙幣もだ。
二人分の船賃の半分である一万ロドは船長に前払いしていたため、蔵人の所持する現金はイライダと分けて残った五千ロドと足して、一万五千ロドだった。
協会がどこにあるかもわからない以上、重要な資金源となる。
最もそれは、紙幣が使えればの話ではあるが。
「とはいえ、紙も筆もないんだから、どうにもならないな」
いい加減ここにいては天日干しになると、蔵人は立ち上がった。
自分よりも遥かに強いイライダと雪白を心配して探すより、街を探したほうが早いだろう。
蔵人はそう考えて砂浜を歩き出した。
とりあえず、ここがどこなのか知りたかった。
いけどもいけども砂浜と海と熱帯雨林である。
自らの足と風精を用いた探索の結果は、一日で一周できるような小さな島でないということだけで、人らしい影はなかった。
蔵人は立ち止まって、ククリ刀と魔銃を抜く。
すでに囲まれていた。
魔力が無限にない以上、風精で常に警戒することなどできない。
海とジャングル、その両方から遠吠えが聞こえた。
それに合わせて、ジャングル、そして海中から何かが飛び出してくる。
狼のような魔獣である。
顔や身体つきは全体的に鋭く流線型、犬でいえばボルゾイに近いがそれよりも野性的、青と緑の混じった体毛とカモノハシのように平べったい尻尾、脚の先は狼のようであるが短い毛におおわれた水かきがあった。
それが十数匹、蔵人を見事に取り囲んでいた。
海側にいる狼魔獣に至っては、そのすらりとした四肢で陸と同じように海面を歩き、ジリジリと蔵人を取り囲む輪を狭めている。
ようやくファンタジーになれてきたかなと思っている蔵人もこれには面食らった。
蔵人を取り囲む小型、中型の狼魔獣の後ろに、体高だけでいえば雪白を上回る大きな狼魔獣が二匹いた。
家族だろうか。
「見逃す気は......ないか?」
蔵人は試しに話かけてみるも、反応はない。
ちっと舌打ちをしてから、蔵人は先手必勝とばかりに盛大に砂を巻きあげて駆けだした。
進むのは、海側だ。
よもや人間が海に逃げてくるとは考えていなかったのか、狼魔獣はわずかに反応が遅れる。
ジャングル側の狼魔獣たちが、巻きあげられた砂をモノともせずに突っ込んでくるが、それに合わせたように銃声が轟く。
砂煙に飛び込んだ小型の狼魔獣が二匹、砂煙に仕込んだ砂の杭に貫かれ、蔵人が後ろ手に狙いもつけずに撃った三連式魔銃をもろに浴びた。
魔銃はアリスがやったように空気で撃ちだすこともできれば、火精の爆発で撃ちだすこともできた。威力は魔力次第でかなり上がるが、最大で三発までしか連射できなかった。一度に撃ってしまえば、それで弾切れだ。装填には時間がかかる。
蔵人は魔銃を腰にしまいながら、強化を最大にして一気に海を走る。
蔵人が海面を一歩踏み込むごとに、そこには氷の板があった。
海に浮かぶ畳み一枚ほどの氷の板は、蔵人が走り去った直後に次々と割れていく。
それほど丈夫なものは必要ない。
しかし、そこに飛びかかった狼魔獣はそんなことは知らず、その割れた氷の板の浮かぶ海に落ちていく。
すると泳げるはずの狼魔獣が、溺れていた。
割れた氷の板が狼魔獣の四肢にはり付いて、凍らせていた。南国に氷などはなく、初めての体験に狼魔獣は完全に混乱してしまったようだ。
蔵人は半円を描くように、波打ち際に戻ってくる。
そこにジャングル側から中型の狼魔獣が飛びかかるが、蔵人は盾で力任せにぶん殴る。
鼻面が衝撃とともに凍り、冷たいのに熱いという凍結現象を身をもって知った狼魔獣は、きゃいんきゃいんと地面を転がりまわる。
蔵人はその狼魔獣を、力任せにククリ刀で斬り裂く。
仕留めたのは三匹ほどだろうか。
蔵人は駆けながら、そんなことを考える。
だがそれがいけなかった。
ククリ刀を持ったほうの腕に、後ろから中型の狼魔獣が噛みついた。
巨人の手袋を貫通するほどではないが、身体の自由が奪われて蔵人の足が鈍る。
その途端、殺到する狼魔獣。
今度は右脚が噛みつかれる。
皮のズボンを貫通して、ふくらはぎに突き刺さる牙の感触は、あまり気持ちのいいものでない。激痛が走った。
さらに、左腕、左脚と狼魔獣が牙を突きたてた。
強化のおかげか倒れることこそないが、動きは完全に封じられていた。
ひときわ大きな狼魔獣が子どもたちによくやったとでもいうように、ゆったりと尻尾を振りながら近づいてきた。
だが蔵人は、ニヤリと笑ってやる。
氷を扱う人間に対して、それは悪手だと。
蔵人は一瞬で、自分ごと狼魔獣を凍らせた。
波打ち際に、大きな氷の彫像が出来上がる。
中型の狼魔獣が果敢に氷の彫像に飛びかかるが、牙は氷を傷つけるくらいでびくともしない。
残った狼魔獣も大きな狼魔獣も、どうすればいいかわからず動けなくなった。
蔵人だけが、氷の中で動き出す。
四匹を凍らせたまま、噛みついた部分だけを引きはがす。
まだ生きているようで牙はしっかりと喰い込んでいるが、ナイフで鼻さきを刺してやれば、それも次第に弱まった。
狼魔獣を剥がし終えた蔵人は、自分だけ氷から脱出する。残った魔獣はいずれ窒息か、凍死するはずだ。
二匹の大きな狼魔獣の目の色がかわったように感じたのは、蔵人の気のせいではなかった。
残りの狼魔獣を退かせ、二匹が蔵人を挟むように位置どる。
にも匹敵しそうな迫力だった。
実際はそれほど強くないかもしれないが、蔵人にとっては同じことだ。
「......まいったね」
蔵人は知らぬうちに、呟いていた。
その時である。
二匹の狼魔獣に槍、矢、魔法が飛来した。
二匹は咄嗟に退くと新たな敵対者をちらりと見て、遠吠えをした。
その咆哮を聞いた残った四匹はジャングルの中に消え、それを確認した二匹もすぐに身を翻して森に消えていった。
狼魔獣を追い払ったのは、海に浮かぶ小舟だった。
小舟に乗った三人がこちらに向けて、手を振っていた。
蔵人はそこでようやくほっと力を抜いて、ククリ刀をおさめた。
「助かった、ありがとう」
蔵人は砂浜に小舟で乗り上げ、下りてきた男に礼をいった。
男は外見上は浅黒い肌の人種のようだった。
「爆発音が聞こえたから来てみただけさ、君は?」
どうやら銃声を聞いて駆けつけてくれたらしい。
「ハンター、『
男は少し驚いたような顔をする。
「なるほど、同業者だったか。このへんでは純粋な人種のハンターは珍しくてね。一応確認のためタグを見せてくれ。ああすまない、私はチャイという。後の二人はパンとクン」
男は名乗りながら自分のタグを見せた。
タグには協会の紋章と星が七つ、そして名乗った通りのチャイ・カオサイという名が刻まれていた。
蔵人も言われた通り、首にかけていたタグをひっぱりだして見せる。
「蔵人だ。呼び捨てで構わない」
「そうか。連れはいないのか......っとここに長居もしたくないな」
「......さっきの魔獣か?」
チャイは真剣な顔で頷いた。
「もう襲ってはこないと思うが、念には念をいれておきたい」
「わかった。俺も乗っていいか?できれば近くの協会まで連れていってもらいたい」
「もしそれなりにでも価値があるなら、もらってくれ」
蔵人は敬語を辞めていた。それでばれる可能性もあると考えたのだ。
雪山にいればそんな心配もなかったが、人と関わる以上、日本人らしいことはできるだけしないほうがいい。
蔵人の言葉をきいたチャイが驚いたような顔をする。
の群れは|七つ星≪ルビニチア≫以上が集まって狩るような相手だ、一年目と二年目の子どもしかないが、それでもそれなりの価値はある。いいのかい?」
蔵人は頷いた。これから面倒をかけるのだ、これくらいは問題なかった。
それを見た残りの二人が嬉しそうに剥ぎ取りを始める。
死体は七体ほどあったが、さすがは地元のハンター、瞬く間に一体、また一体と剥ぎ取られていく。
それを見て、チャイは苦笑する。
』なんだ。今日の獲物が空振りでね、それほど生活も楽じゃないから、助かるよ」
「いや、助けられたのは俺だ。何か礼でもできればいいのだが」
』だろ。家族クラスの群れだったとはいえ、ひとりで七体も返り討ちにするとは、すごいじゃないか」
「このへんの魔獣は氷に慣れていないからな、それで助かったようなものさ」
「氷?このへんの日中は氷精なんていないぞ?」
の盾があるからな」
蔵人は腕を上げて盾を見せる。
チャイが納得だと頷いた。
「じゃあ、行こうか」
テキパキと剥ぎ取りを終えた二人はすでに剥ぎ取った毛皮を積んだ小舟の前で待っていた。
小舟は木製で、それも木をくりぬいて、作ったもののようだった。
不安そうな蔵人の顔を見たチャイが笑って言った。
「大丈夫だよ。万が一落ちても、全員泳ぎが得意な種だ、助けられる」
「泳げないわけじゃないんだが、舟はなれなくてな」
蔵人はそう言いながら、小舟に乗りこむ。
ぐらっと不安定さを感じた。
感じた不安をぐっと押し殺し、蔵人は小舟に腰を下ろした。
「全員が泳ぎが得意な種というのはどういうことだ?獣人には見えないが」
「ああ、私は亀系獣人と人種のハーフなんだよ。甲羅はないが、ほら」
そういって手の平を見せるチャイ。
指の間にしっかりと水かきがあった。
亀に何故、水かきがあるのかはわからないが、そういうものなのだろうと蔵人は疑問をのみ込んだ。
「さあ、いくよ」
そういって、二人の亀系獣人が舟を沖に向かって押しだした。
海面を滑るように走る小舟。
走りだしてしまえば、蔵人が心配していた不安など感じさせないほど安定していた。
「ここはどこなんだ?」
「ここはアンクワール諸島連合の一つでラッタナ王国だ。これから行くのはヤーラカンチャナ。王都の次に大きな街さ」
ずいぶんと南に流れたものだと、蔵人は地図を思い出していた。
記憶違いでなければ、エルロドリアナ、アルバウムのある大陸の南端のはずだった。この大陸は斧のような形をしていて、南に長くなっており、その南端ともなればアルバウムから随分離れられたことになる。
チャイが遠慮がちに聞いてくる。
「......連れはいなかったのかい?」
「たぶん、どこかに流れついてる。氷の舟で流されてきたんだが、魔力が切れるギリギリで陸が見えたからな」
「そうか。きっと協会に伝言があるさ」
一時間ほど舟に揺られて、蔵人の船酔いが再発しそうになる頃、ヤーラカンチャナに到着した。
ヤーラカンチャナは舟での移動が発達しているらしく、街の中、それも協会まで舟で乗り付けることができた。
雑然としながらも活気にあふれる街の様子も気になったが、蔵人はチャイに礼をいうと急いで協会に向かった。
ヤーラカンチャナの協会はどちらかといえばオスロンよりサレハドに近いが、木造の高床式建物で、雑然としてはいるが開放的だった。
蔵人はタグを取り出しながら、受付の職員に聞く。
「クランドという。ここにイライダ・バーギンからの伝言はないか?」
突然現れた人種に驚きながらも、職員はその犬耳をピコピコさせながらお待ちくださいと言って、どこかに確認に向かった。
「――仲間が心配なのはわかるが、そう焦るな。海で陸が見えたなら、必ずどこかの島にいるはずだ」
後ろから追いかけてきたチャイがそう言った。
から剥ぎ取ったものを持って、買取受付のほうに並んでいた。
「......すまんな」
「――クランドさん、ありましたよ」
職員の声に蔵人は振り返る。
「ちょうど連絡があったばかりだそうで、イライダ・バーギンさんは無事とのこと。あと、雪白という猟獣も一緒で無事。協会でこの連絡を受けたら、場所を伝言してくれ、こちらから向かう、とのことです」
蔵人は大きく安堵した。
チャイの言葉に蔵人は頷いた。
「イライダはどこにいるんだ?」
「これは、クメジア共和国の首都からですね」
「そうか、なら――」
「いや、ちょっと待ってくれ。クメジアの首都から来るなら、王都の協会で待ち合わせるといい。これも何かの縁だ、私が送ろう」
横からチャイがそう言った。
蔵人は訝しげにチャイを見る。
「ああ、私の家は王都にあるんだ。そろそろ帰らないと嫁さんが、な。そのついでだ」
「......そういうことか。ならお願いする」
よもや同じハンターを、ハンター職員の目の前で騙すこともあるまいと蔵人は判断した。
「ということで、王都で待ち合わせと連絡しておいてくれ。いくらかかる?」
職員は首を振る。
「緊急時ですから、規定通り無料で問題ありません」
「そうか。ありがとう。ところで今日は何日だ?」
「今日は朱月の二十六日ですね」
蔵人はどうもと言いながら物事が何の抵抗もなく進んでいくことに、妙な気味の悪さを感じる。
サレハドの経験はいつのまにか蔵人をかなり蝕んでいたらしい、そう思うと蔵人は苦笑してしまう。
「王都はここから近い、今日の内にいってしま......ん、なんだいきなり笑って」
「いや、なに。この前までサレハドっていう辺境にいてな」
そういって蔵人はサレハドのことを話しながら、チャイの舟に向かった。
「それはひどいな。まあ、アンクワールでもそういうところがないとはいえないから、なんともいえないけどな」
舟の櫓をこぎながら、チャイは苦笑した。
「そうか?協会にしてもおかしなところはなかったようだが」
「ヤーラカンチャナと王都は、な。それ以外はどこもあまりかわらんよ。ああ、最前線は別だ。あそこは来るものは拒まずだからな」
「行きたいとは思わないな」
「......誰が行くんだ、そんなところ」
「たいていは金、名誉、ランク、土地が目当てだな。あとはあぶれ者とかな」
「他はわかるが、土地?」
「ああ、切り開いた土地をいくらかもらえるんだ。功績が必要だけどな」
蔵人はへぇと感心するが、
「ただ最近は勇者が開拓に参加したらしくてな。みるみる内に開拓されているそうだ」
蔵人はそれを聞くと忘れていた船酔いが再発したような気がした。
「......うぇぷ」
「おいおい、舟の中はやめてくれよ。海に流してくれ」
チャイは海でゲロゲロやっている蔵人を見て、単独で
三時間ほどで、何事もなく、王都ラチャサムットの協会本部の裏手にたどり着く。
蔵人の船酔いは緊張していたせいか、それほど酷くはならなかった。
「クメジアの首都からだと、三日、四日かかる。それまでどこか宿でも取らないといけないが、金はあるかい?」
遠慮のないチャイの言葉に蔵人は頷く。
「ロドしかないが」
「協会で両替してもいいが、大きなものを買う予定があるならそのままのほうがいい場合もある。まあ、ケースバイケースで考えるといい」
「......オスロンより物価が低いのか?」
「ああ、エルロドリアナと比べると物価は十分の一くらいだな。あと、スリや置引きにも気をつけたほうがいい。それと門番には出入りのたびに小額でいいから握らせるんだ。多少のことは目をつぶってくれる」
チャイはそういって協会まで蔵人を送り届けると、最後まで蔵人に忠告してくれた。
「それとこの国には奴隷がいる。ちょっと特殊な制度になっているから協会で確認するといい。北のほうの人には慣れない制度だろうからな」
「何、気にするな。ハンターは相身互いだ。この国にいる内なら、何かあれば言ってくれ。ああ、そうだ。協会から少し距離はあるが、
そういってチャイは手を振ると、舟で去っていった。
蔵人は何事もなく協会に到着したことに、どこか疑いがあったといってもいい。
ここは本当に協会なのかと入り口の看板を確認したほどだ。
だがここは間違いなく、ラッタナ王国ハンター協会本部だった。
協会に入り、職員に事情を話す。
「わかりました。どちらに宿をとるご予定ですか?」
という宿を紹介されたんだがどこにあるかわかるか?」
「そちらなら問題ありません。イライダさんが到着しだい宿にご連絡差し上げます。場所は協会の前の一本道を歩いていけば看板が見えてくると思います。昼間はいいですが、夜は誘い道になりますのでご注意を」
「誘い道?」
「ああ、外国の方でしたね。誘い道っていうのは夜に娼婦や奴隷が声をかける道ということです」
「なるほどな。あと奴隷......いや、奴隷も含めてこの国の法律的なものがわかる本はないか?ついでにこの国の魔獣関連の本も」
「協会の二階資料室にありますが、持ち出し禁止になっておりますのでご注意ください」
「ありがとう」
蔵人はそういって二階に行こうとしたが、メモも何もないことに気づく。
そう焦ることもないかと蔵人はここでようやく一息ついた。
そうするとイライダたちのことを考えて、まるで見えてなかった景色が見えてくる。
ヤーラカンチャナの協会と同じで、この本部も高床式の木造建築だった。
窓が大きく、開放感があり、建物の中に風が吹きこんでくる。
建物の外にぐるりとせり出したバルコニーはカフェになっており、そこにはハンターたちが座っていた。
蔵人も、建物内にある、カフェのカウンターに座る。
陽気そうな茶トラの猫系獣人の女の子が朗らかな笑みを向ける。
「ああ、あっ。......ここの支払いは――」
「タグで構いませんよ。協会内ですからね」
蔵人はふと腹が減っていることに気づく。そういえばしばらく何も食べていない。
といってもメニューもなにもないのだから、何を頼めばいいのかもわからない。
「腹にたまるものと、アルコールのない飲み物を」
「何か体質的に食べられないものはありますか?」
ないなと蔵人がいうと猫系獣人の女の子はニコッと笑って、奥の厨房に声をかけ、自分も作業を始めた。
すぐに飲み物が出てくる。
飲んでみると、甘いウーロン茶だった。
蔵人はぬるいなと盾の氷精でジョッキのような木のコップごとお茶を冷やす。
なんせ、この国は暑い。今も汗が流れてくる。
キンキンに冷えたそれを、蔵人を喉に流し込む。
ふと視線を感じて顔を上げると、猫系獣人の女の子が興味津々といった様子で蔵人のコップを見ていた。
「......飲むなら、冷やすか?」
えっという顔をしながらもおずおずと蔵人と同じコップを差し出す猫系獣人の女の子。背後で尻尾がゆらゆらと揺れているのが見て取れる。
雪白と同じだなと蔵人は思いながら、差し出されたコップの中身を冷やした。
遠慮がちに、それを口に含む猫系獣人の女の子。
予想外の冷たさに、尻尾がピーンとなっている。
「冷たいとこんなに美味しいんですね。ありがとうございますっ」
またニコっと笑って、蔵人は礼を言われた。
どうもこの国の人間は基本的に素直で、お人好しのようだ。
チャイとこの女の子限定かもしれないが。
注文した品を待つ間、蔵人はカウンターに背を向けて、周囲を見渡す。
注意して見ていると、協会にいるのはほとんどが獣人種であり、まれに人種がいるが、彼らはお互いにあまり干渉しないようにしているのが見て取れた。
蔵人自身、この国に来てから差別らしい差別を受けたという意識はない。
蔵人はくるりとカウンターに顔を向ける。
「この国の獣人種と人種はなにかあるのか?ああ、言いづらかったらいいんだ」
猫系獣人の女の子はちょっと困ったような顔をして、茶色の猫耳をペタリとさせ、小声で話し出す。
「......えーとですね、二百年前に世界大戦があったのはご存じだと思うんですけど、世界大戦末期までアンクワール諸島はアルバウムに代表される大陸北部の国々に支配されていました。ですから、この国に定住している人種の方とはあまり仲がよくありません。それでもこの国はまだいいほうですね、唯一支配を受けなかった国ですから」
そういうことか、と納得する蔵人。
そういって猫系獣人の女の子が差し出したのは、コメ料理である。
蔵人はそれを受け取り、スプーンを持つ。
不意の遭遇である。
だが、蔵人は自然と手を合わせそうになるのを堪えた。
料理は山盛りのチャーハンのようなコメ料理に、焼いた鳥の足がでんと鎮座している。
蔵人は無言で料理に取り掛かる。
米は大粒でパラパラしているが、スパイシーであっさりしていた。鳥肉はスパイシーでこってりしている。どちらも辛いが、口が辛くなったときに甘いウーロン茶を飲むとちょうど良くなるのだから、絶妙である。
満腹である。
蔵人は久しぶりの米に心身ともに、充足していた。
そういってタグを渡す蔵人。
「ありがとうございました。ティンが一パミット、グァイカーオが五パミットになります」
猫系獣人の女の子は受け取ったタグをさっと何かにかざし、すぐに蔵人に返した。
あのコメ料理はグァイカーオ、蔵人はそれをしっかりと記憶した。
蔵人は再び協会の受付にいって、両替を頼む。
「宿で数日、普通に暮らす程度だとどれくらい必要だ?」
「そうですね。宿のグレードによります」
という宿を予定している」
「それでしたら一泊で二十パミットから五十パミットですので。大目に換算しても一日二百パミットで問題ないと思います」
「タグから両替できるか」
リュックから現金を出すのも面倒だと蔵人はタグを渡す。
「ロドですね。一ロドで十パミットです」
「......とりあえず二千パミット両替してくれ」
「二百ロド両替ですね。手数料として百パミットいただきますので、口座からは二百十ロドが引かれます」
「それでいい」
そういうと職員は作業に取り掛かかるが、蔵人をそれほど待たせることはなかった。
「......こちらですね」
大小さまざまな紙幣を差し出す職員。
「小額紙幣を使う機会のほうが多いと思いますので、崩しておきました」
蔵人は礼をいって紙幣を懐にしまうと、協会を出る。
まだ日は高い。まずは宿にいって、筆と紙、そして鍛冶屋に行き、それから協会で調べ物をすると決めていた。
51-Ankwaal Archipelago
Feeling the light of the sun running into his eyelids, Kurando opened his eyes.
Although his clothes were already dried, the sand that found its way into his clothes was unpleasant.
When he felt so carefreely about that sort of thing, he felt extremely thirsty.
While slowly getting up, Kurando asked the Water Spirits and got some water, raised his face, and poured the water into his mouth.
The sky was blue, without even a single cloud.
WIthout minding that water was also flowing down on his neck, Kurando glugged it down like a dried sponge sucked up water.
Recovering from his thirst, he finally paused and surveyed the surroundings.
It was a sandy beach.
There was no one around.
In front of him, there was the sea, and beyond that, several islands could be seen.
Iraida and Yukis.h.i.+ro might have been washed up on other islands.
When he looked behind him, there were tall, turned and twisted trees and thick ivy that grew freely, and furthermore, the trees that grew from the edge of the sh.o.r.e and sea were grouped together, and turned into a dense jungle.
The blazing sun was also hot, but the humidity was also high to the point that he could feel it on his skin, and even the atmospheric temperature itself was.
[......Considering the number of days, this probably isn't Saulan.] 
There was naturally no one to answer Kurando's monologue.
For the time being, Kurando decided to check his own belongings.
The weapons that he had on him were fine for now, but his trunk wasn't there.
Since his food rucksack took the shape of an almost empty rucksack, he was able to wrap it around his arm, but it seemed to work and was safe.
[I guess the pictures are ruined......I guess the grimoire is too.] 
Thinking that he would have to draw them again, Kurando breathed a sigh.
It wasn't like Kurando remembered all of the Origin (original text).
He had stuck a memo in the magic textbook that was in his food rucksack. This was something like a loophole that Kurando discovered by accident before, and if it was something at the level of a memo, then he could stick it in the magic textbook, and put that into the food rucksack.
In other words, this also went for the bills that were also paper.
Since 10,000 Rodo, which was half the fare for two people, was paid in advance to the captain, the money that Kurando had on hand, including the remaining 5,000 Rodo after he split the money with Iraida, was 15,000 Rodo.
Since he didn't know where a guild might be, these were important funds.
Then again, that was only if he was able to use the bills.
[Nonetheless, since I have neither paper nor a brush, there's nothing I can do about it.] 
After staying here for a while and getting sun dried, Kurando stood up.
Rather than getting worried about and searching for Iraida and Yukis.h.i.+ro who were far stronger than himself, it would probably be faster to search for a town.
Thinking that Kurando started walking along the sandy beach.
First of all, he didn't know where this place was.
As he kept walking on and on, it was just the sandy beach, the sea, and the tropical forest.
The search result of using his own feet and Wind Spirits was only that it was a small island that could have a lap made around it in one day, and there were no human-like figures.
Kurando stopped and took out a kukuri blade and the magic gun.
He was already surrounded.
Since his magical power wasn't infinite, he was unable to be constantly vigilant with Wind Spirits.
The sea and the jungle, howling could be heard from both sides.
Matching with that, something came rus.h.i.+ng out from the jungle, and then from the sea.
They were magic beasts similar to wolves.
Their faces and body type were a sharp, aerodynamic shape overall, and if described as dogs, they were close to being borzois but were much more wild, had body hair and a flat tail like that of a platypus which were a mix of blue and green in color, and the ends of their feet were like that of wolves but had short fur and web feet.
There were about ten of them, and they had splendidly surrounded Kurando.
In regards to the wolf magic beasts that were on the seaward side, they could walk on the surface of the sea just like it was land with their long and slender limbs, and they slowly contracted the ring surrounding Kurando.
Even Kurando, who thought that he had finally gotten used to the fantasy setting of this world, was bewildered by this.
Behind the small-sized and medium-sized wolf magic beasts that surrounded Kurando, there were two large wolf magic beasts that surpa.s.sed Yukis.h.i.+ro if it was only in terms of height.
Were they all a family?
[You don't plan on letting me go......do you?] 
Kurando tried talking to them just to try it out, but they made no response.
After making a small tongue click, as if to say that the one who makes the first move wins, Kurando vigorously flung up sand and broke into a run.
The way he went to, was the seaward side.
Maybe because they never thought that a Human would run away towards the sea, the wolf magic beasts had a slightly delayed reaction.
The jungle side wolf magic beasts rushed in defiance of the flung up sand, but as if to match with that, a gunshot roared.
There were two small-sized wolf magic beasts that rushed into the cloud of sand, and after they were pierced by stakes of sand that were prepared in the cloud of sand, they were completely showered by the three-shot type Magic Gun that Kurando fired behind him without even taking aim.
If the Magic Gun was able to fire with air just like how Alice had done, then it was also able to fire with an explosion of Fire Spirits. Its power could be considerably increased depending on the magical power, but it was unable to do rapid fire pa.s.sed its maximum of three shots. If they were all shot, then it would be out of ammo. And it would take time to reload it.
While putting the Magic Gun away at his waist, Kurando put his strengthening to the maximum and ran all the way to the sea.
Every time Kurando took one step onto the surface of the sea, there would be a plank of ice there.
The planks of ice that were the size of a single tatami mat that floated on the sea broke one after the other right after Kurando ran on them.
Something that durable wasn't necessary.
However, the wolf magic beasts that sprang at them did not know about that, and fell into the sea that the broken boards of ice floated on.
When they did, the wolf magic beasts that should have been able to swim drowned.
The broken boards of ice clung onto the limbs of the wolf magic beasts, and froze them. With there not being any ice in the southern lands, the wolf magic beasts seemed to be in complete chaos from their first experience with it.
Kurando, as if drawing a semicircle, returned to the water's edge.
It was there that a medium-sized wolf magic beast that came from the jungle side sprang at him, but Kurando forcefully knocked it away with his s.h.i.+eld.
Its snout was frozen together with the impact, and having learned of the freezing phenomenon of being hot even though it was cold with its body, the wolf magic beast went *kyain kyain* and rolled on the ground.
Kurando used all of his might to tear apart that wolf magic beast with his kukuri blade.
Has there been around three of them that were killed?
Kurando thought that while he ran.
But that wouldn't do.
From behind, a medium sized wolf magic beast bit the arm that was holding the kukuri blade.
It wasn't strong enough to pierce through the Giant's Glove, but having his body's freedom taken away, Kurando's legs weakened.
At that moment, a wolf magic beast rushed in.
This time, it bit his right leg.
Perforating his leather pants, the sensation of fangs piercing his calf was something that didn't feel all that good. A sharp pain ran through him.
Furthermore, wolf magic beasts stabbed their fangs into his left arm and left leg.
Maybe thanks to the strengthening, he didn't end up collapsing, but his movements were completely sealed.
The remarkably large wolf magic beasts, as if saying that their children had done well, were approaching while relaxedly swinging their tails.
However, Kurando sneered.
Against a Human that can handle ice, that was a bad move.
Kurando, in an instant, froze the wolf magic beasts along with himself.
At the water's edge, a large sculpture of ice was made.
A medium sized wolf magic beast resolutely leapt upon the ice sculpture, but its fangs could only scratch the ice, and the whole thing wouldn't move.
Both the remaining wolf magic beasts and large wolf magic beasts, they didn't know what to do, and stopped moving.
Only Kurando moved within the ice.
With the four wolves still frozen, he tore off only the parts where he was being bitten.
They seemed to still be alive so the fangs were firmly biting into him, but after p.r.i.c.king their snouts with a knife, they also gradually weakened.
Finished with tearing the wolf magic beasts off, Kurando broke out from the ice alone. The magic beasts that remained in it should eventually either suffocate or freeze to death.
How he felt that the eye color of the two large wolf magic beasts had changed was not Kurando's imagination.
The remaining wolf magic beasts withdrew, and the two large wolf magic beasts took positions so as to hold Kurando in between them.
If it was the two of them, they had an impressiveness that could rival that of the Atorabas.h.i.+ku (large thorn earth spider).
They might not actually be that strong, but to Kurando, they were all the same.
[......They got me.] 
Kurando muttered that before he knew it.
It was at that time.
Spears, arrows, and magic came flying in at the two wolf magic beasts.
After the two promptly withdrew, they looked around for the new opponents, and then howled.
The remaining four wolf magic beasts that heard that howl vanished into the jungle, and after confirming that they did, the two large magic beasts also immediately turned around and vanished into the forest.
What drove away the wolf magic beasts was a small boat floating on the sea.
The three people on board the small boat turned this way, and waved their hands.
It was then that Kurando finally relaxed and put his kukuri blade away.
[You saved me, thanks.] 
Kurando gave his thanks to the man who got down from the small boat that had ran up onto the sandy beach.
The man, going by his appearance, seemed to be of a race with darkish skin.
[We merely came because we heard the sound of an explosion. Who are you?] 
It seemed that they heard the gunshot and came running.
[A Hunter, a {Konbajira (eight-star)} .] 
The man made a slightly surprised face.
[I see, so you're someone in the same business. It's rare to see a Hunter that is of an unmixed race around here, see. Just to check just in case, let me see your tag. Ahh, sorry. I am called Chai. The other two are Pan and Kun.] 
The man showed his own tag while introducing himself.
On the tag, there was the crest of the a.s.sociation and seven stars, and then, just as he introduced himself as, the name Chai Kaosai was engraved on it.
Kurando also did as he was told and pulled out the tag that hung around his neck and showed it.
[I'm Kurando. I don't mind if you don't add anything to it.] 
[I see. So your companions aren't here......Whoops, we don't want to stay here for very long.] 
[......Is it because of the magic beasts from earlier?] 
Chai nodded with a serious face.
[I don't think they will be attacking anymore, but I would like to be careful just in case.] 
[Got it. Could I also ride with you? If possible, I'd like to be taken to the nearest a.s.sociation.] 
[If they have a fair amount of value, then take them.] 
Kurando stopped his honorific speech. He thought that there was the possibility that he would be exposed because of it.
If he were on some snowy mountains, he wouldn't have to worry about that, but as long as he was dealing with people, it would be best if he didn't do anything like a j.a.panese person as much as possible.
Hearing Kurando's words, Chai made a surprised looking face.
[A pack of Taalemaapa (sea wolves) is an opponent that would need Hunters that were either{Rubinichia (seven-star)}  or higher would gather up to hunt, and although there's nothing but first year and second year pups, they have a fair amount of value despite that. Are you sure it's fine?] 
Kurando nodded. He would be troubling them from now on, so this much wasn't a problem.
Seeing that, the remaining two others started skinning them with delighted looks.
There were about seven corpses, but as expected of local Hunters, they stripped the corpses one after another in no time at all.
Seeing that, Chai made a wry smile.
[Sorry about that. They're {Konbajira (eight-stars)}  that I'm looking after. Today's game ended up being a swing and a miss, and since our livelihood isn't going that easy, this really helps.] 
[No, the one that was helped is me. It would be nice if I could do something as thanks though.] 
[Nevertheless, you're also a {Konbajira (eight-star)}  , aren't you. Although they were a Family-cla.s.s pack, to turn the tables on them and take down seven of them by yourself, that's amazing, isn't it.] 
[It's because the magic beasts of this area aren't familiar with ice, and that seemed to have saved me.] 
[Ice? There aren't any Ice Spirits during the day around this area, you know?] 
[Ahh, it's because I have a monster's s.h.i.+eld.] 
Kurando raised his arm and showed the s.h.i.+eld.
Chai nodded with consent.
[Well then, I guess we should go.] 
Having quickly finished the skinning, the other two were already waiting in front of the small boat that they had piled the stripped off pelts on.
The small boat was made of wood, and it even seemed to be something made by hollowing out a tree.
Seeing at Kurando's uneasy-looking face, Chai laughed and spoke.
[It's fine. Even in the unlikely event that you fall off, everyone here is a variety that specializes in swimming, so we'll save you.] 
[It's not that I can't swim, but I'm just not used to s.h.i.+ps.] 
While saying that, Kurando got on board the small boat.
With it shaking violently, he felt its instability.
Firmly suppressing the unease that he felt, Kurando lowered his waist onto the small boat.
[What did you mean when you said that everyone was a variety that specializes in swimming? You don't look like a Beastman though.] 
[Ahh, I'm a half turtle-type Beastman. I don't have a sh.e.l.l but, look.] 
Saying that, Chai showed off the palms of his hands.
There were proper webs in between his fingers.
He didn't know why turtles would have webbed feet, but thinking that was probably the way things were, Kurando swallowed his question.
[Now then, here we go.] 
Saying that, the two turtle-type Beastmen pushed the boat towards the open sea.
The small boat traveled the surface of the sea as if sliding on it.
As they travelled, it was stable to the point that Kurando couldn't feel the unease that he was worried about.
[Where is this place?] 
[This place is part of the Ankwall Archipelago alliance, the Rattana Kingdom. The place we're going to from here on is Yaarakanchana. It's the next biggest town after the royal capital.] 
Having been carried quite far south, Kurando remembered the map.
If his memory wasn't mistaken, that should have been on the southern tip of Elrodriana, the continent that Albaum was on. This continent had an axe-like shape, became long at the south, and if this was the southern tip of it, it mean that he was quite far away from Albaum.
Chai reservedly asked a question.
[......Do you not have any companions?] 
[They're probably, washed up somewhere. We were carried here in a boat of ice, but our magical power ran out when I just barely saw land.] 
[I see. I'm sure that there'll be a message for you at the a.s.sociation.] 
After the being rocked by the boat for about an hour, right when it felt like Kurando's seasickness was going to return, they arrived at Yaarakanchana.
Within the town of Yaarakanchana, having developed with traveling done by boat, it was possible to ride up to the a.s.sociation by boat.
Kurando was worried about the state of the town which was overflowing with liveliness despite being disorderly, but after saying his thanks to Chai, he hurried towards the a.s.sociation.
If he had to say, Yaarakanchana's a.s.sociation was closer to being like the one in Sarehado[1] rather than the one in Oslon, but it was a wooden, raised-floor-style building, and although it had a disorderliness to it, it was quite open.
While taking out his tag, Kurando asked a question to the receptionist.
[I'm called Kurando. Is there a message for me from Iraida Baagin?] 
Although they were surprised by the sudden appearance of the Human race, the staff member said "please wait a moment" while moving their dog ears, and went somewhere to check.
[----I understand that you're worried about your companions, but don't be so impatient. If you saw land while on the sea, then they should definitely be on some island.] 
Chai, who chased after him from behind, said that.
When he looked around, Pan and Kun were holding the stuff they stripped from the Taalemaapa (sea wolves), and were lined up at the purchasing desk.
[......Sorry about that.] 
[----Kurando-san, there is one.] 
Kurando turned around hearing the staff member's voice.
[It seems that we just got the message, and it says that Iraida Baagin-san is safe. Also that the hunting animal called Yukis.h.i.+ro is with her and safe. If you receive this message at the a.s.sociation, message me your location, and we'll head over to you, is what it says.] 
Kurando was greatly relieved.
Kurando nodded at Chai's words.
[Where is Iraida now?] 
[Looks like this came from the capital city of the k.u.mejia Republic.] 
[I see, then----] 
[No, hold on a sec. If she's coming from k.u.mejia's capital city, it would be better to meet up at the royal capital's a.s.sociation. This must also be some sort of fate. I'll take you there.] 
From the side, Chai said that.
Kurando looked at Chai with a puzzled face.
[Ahh, my house is in the royal capital. My wife will get mad if I don't return soon, see. So this will just be while I'm doing that.] 
[......So that's how it was. In that case, I'll ask you to do it.] 
Kurando determined that a fellow Hunter wouldn't deceive him while in front of a Hunter a.s.sociation staff member.
[And so that's how it is. Please send a message saying that we'll meet up at the royal capital. How much will it be?] 
The staff member shook their head.
[Since this is an emergency, according to the rules, it will be free of charge, so it won't be a problem.] 
[I see. Thank you. By the way, what day is today?] 
[Today is the twenty-sixth day of the Scarlet month.] 
While saying his thanks to them, Kurando felt a strange creepiness over how things were advancing so smoothly.
Thinking that it seemed that his experiences in Sarehado had adversely affected him at some point, Kurando made a wry smile.
[The royal capital is close from here, so we should get there within the day and......Nn, what are you suddenly smiling for.] 
[No, well. Just before all of this, I was in a frontier called Sarehado, see.] 
Saying that, they headed to Chai's boat while Kurando talked about the things in Sarehado.
[That's pretty terrible. Well, since I can't say that Ankwaal doesn't have that sort of stuff as well, I can't really say much about it though.] 
Chai made a wry smile while rowing the boat's oars.
[Is that so? Even at the a.s.sociation, there weren't any strange parts to it though.] 
[That goes for Yaarakanchana and the royal capital, see. Other than those, there's no telling what they do. Ahh, the front line is different. It's because that place doesn't reject anyone that comes.] 
[I don't think I'd want to go there.] 
[......Just who in the world would go to a place like that.] 
[Generally, it's people that are aiming for money, fame, rank, or land. Also, people like hooligans.] 
[I can understand the rest, but land?] 
[Yeah, you can receive a bit of the reclaimed land. Though achievements will be needed.] 
Kurando went *he~* and felt impressed but,
[It's just, it seems that the Heroes have started partic.i.p.ating in the reclamation recently, see. They say that the land is being reclaimed pretty quickly.] 
When Kurando heard that, he felt like his forgotten seasickness had returned.
[......Uepuh] 
[Oi oi, don't do that inside the boat. Pour it into the sea.] 
Looking at Kurando as he threw up into the sea, Chai thought that he didn't look like a man that could drive away Taalemaapa (sea wolves) alone, and made a wry smile.
In about three hours, uneventfully, they arrived at the back of the royal capital Rachasamutto's a.s.sociation main office.
Maybe due to his nervousness, Kurando's seasickness didn't get all that bad.
[From k.u.mejia's capital city, it will take three or four days. Until then, you'll have to find an inn somewhere but, do you have any money?] 
Kurando nodded to Chai's unreserved words.
[I only have Rodo though.] 
[You can get the money exchanged at the a.s.sociation, but if you plan on making large purchases, there are cases where it'd be better to leave it like that too. Well, just think about it on a case-by-case basis.] 
[......Are the prices here lower than in Oslon?] 
[Yeah, when compared to Elrodriana, the prices are about a tenth of that. Also, it'd be best to be careful of pickpockets and luggage thieves. Plus, everytime you come in or leave, a small sum would do so slip a bribe to the gatekeepers. They'll shut their eyes to some things.] 
Chai said that, and once he escorted Kurando to the a.s.sociation, he gave a warning to Kurando right at the end.
[Also, there are slaves in this country. It has turned into a bit of a unique system, so you should review it at the a.s.sociation. I'm sure that it's a system that people of the north aren't used to after all.] 
[What, don't worry about it. Hunters should mutually a.s.sist each other. If you're within this country, just tell me if something happens. Ahh, that's right. It has a bit of a distance from the a.s.sociation, but you should stay at an inn called Sukootai (the blessed dawn)[2]. What, my relative runs it, so if you tell them the name Chai, then they'll understand.] 
Saying that, Chai waved his hand, and left on the boat.
Kurando could be said to have some suspicion towards how he had arrived at the a.s.sociation without incident.
Enough that he checked the signboard on the entrance to see if this place really was the a.s.sociation.
However, this place was without a doubt the Rattana Kingdom Hunter a.s.sociation Headquarters.
Entering the a.s.sociation, he talked about his circ.u.mstances to a staff member.
[I understand. And which inn do you plan on staying at?] 
[I was recommended the inn called Sukootai (the blessed dawn) by Chai, but do you know where that is?] 
[If it's there, then it won't be a problem. Once Iraidsan arrives, I will contact the inn. As for its location, I believe you will see the signboard if you walk down the straight path in front of the a.s.sociation. It's fine during the day, but since it becomes a road of temptation at night, please be careful.] 
[Road of temptation?] 
[Ahh, you are someone from a foreign country, weren't you. What I mean by road of temptation is that at night, it will become a path where prost.i.tutes and slaves will call out to you.] 
[I see. Also, is there a book about the slaves......no, about the juristical things of this country including the slaves? Incidentally, a book that's related to the magic beasts of this country too.] 
[There is a reference room on the second floor of the a.s.sociation, but please be careful as they are prohibited from being carried out.] 
[Thank you.] 
Kurando said that and was about to go to the second floor, but then he realized that he had nothing to take notes with.
Thinking that it was nothing to be impatient over, it was here that Kurando finally took a breather.
As he did, he thought about Iraida's group, and then came to see the scenery that he hadn't really paid attention to.
Being the same as Yaarakanchana's a.s.sociation, the Headquarters was also a raised-floor-style wooden building.
The windows were large, there was a sense of s.p.a.ce, and wind was blowing within the building.
The balcony that jutted out around the outside of the building was a cafe, and Hunters were sitting there.
Kurando also sat at the cafe counter that was inside the building.
A cheerful-looking orange tabby cat-type Beastman girl turned a cheerful smile towards him.
[Ahh, yeah.......The payment for this place is----] 
[It's fine if you use your tag. We're within the a.s.sociation after all.] 
Kurando suddenly noticed that he was hungry. Come to think of it, he hadn't eaten in a while.
That being said, since there wasn't a menu or anything, he didn't know what he could order.
[Something filling, and a drink without any alcohol.] 
[Is there anything that you can't eat due to your const.i.tution?] 
When Kurando said that there wasn't, the cat-type Beastman girl made a pleasant smile, called out to the kitchen at the back, and then started doing her own work.
The drink came out right away.
When he tried drinking it, it was a sweet oolong tea.
Thinking that it was lukewarm, Kurando cooled the tea along with the wooden cup that was like a tankard using his s.h.i.+eld's Ice Spirits.
After all, this country was hot. He was sweating even now.
Taking that nice cool drink, Kurando poured it into his throat.
When he suddenly felt a gaze and raised his head, he saw that the cat-type Beastman girl was looking at Kurando's cup with an immensely curious look on her face.
[......If you're going to drink, should I chill it for you?] 
While making a face that went "huh?", the cat-type Beastman girl timidly held out a cup similar to Kurando's cup. He saw that her tail was swinging back and forth behind her.
While thinking that she was the same as Yukis.h.i.+ro, Kurando chilled the contents of the held out cup.
Shyly, the cat-type Beastman girl brought it to her mouth.
Her tail went straight up at the unexpected coldness of it.
[So it becomes this delicious when it's cold. Thank you very much.] 
Making another pleasant smile, she gave her thanks to Kurando.
It seemed that the people of this country were basically honest, and good-natured people.
That might only apply to Chai and this girl though.
While waiting on the stuff that he ordered, Kurando turned his back to the counter, and surveyed the surroundings.
When he looked around with attention, he saw that there were mostly different types of Beastmen in the a.s.sociation, and there were seldomly any human races, but he could see that they were making it so that they didn't intervene with each other all that much.
For Kurando himself, he wasn't aware of having received any discrimination-like discrimination ever since he came to this country.
Kurando turned around and faced the counter.
[Is there something between the Beastmen races and the human races of this country? Ahh, if it's something hard to say then you don't need to say it.] 
The cat-type Beastman girl made a slightly troubled face, had her light brown cat ears twitch, and then started talking with a low voice.
[......Erm, about that, I believe that you know that there was a world war that happened two hundred years ago, but until the last stages of the world war, the Ankwaal Archipelago was dominated by the northern countries of the continent which were represented by Albaum. That's why we don't really get along with the human races that took up permanent residence in this country. Even so, this country is still one of the better ones, since it's the only one that didn't get dominated after all.] 
Going "so that's how it is", Kurando understood.
Saying that, what the cat-type Beastman girl presented to him was a rice dish.
Kurando accepted it, and held a spoon.
It was an unexpected encounter.
But, Kurando endured his feeling of naturally putting his hands together.
The dish was a rice dish that looked like a heap of fried rice, and a grilled bird leg was imposingly enshrined on it.
Kurando silently started on the dish.
The rice was in large grains and crumbly, but it was spicy and light. The bird meat was spicy and rich. Both of them were spicy, but when he drank the sweet oolong tea whenever it got too spicy for his mouth, it became just right, so it was superb.
His stomach was full.
Having had rice after such a long time, Kurando's mind and body were satisfied.
Saying that, Kurando handed over his tag.
[Thank you very much. The Ting will be one Pamitto, and the Guaikaao will be five Pamitto.] 
The cat-type Beastman girl quickly did something to the tag she received, and then immediately returned it to Kurando.
That rice dish is Guaikaao, that is what Kurando properly remembered.
Kurando went to the a.s.sociation reception desk once again, and asked to do a money exchange.
[I'll be staying at the inn for several days, so about how much will I need to live normally?] 
[Let's see. It will depend on the grade of the inn.] 
[I plan on staying at an inn called Sukootai (the blessed dawn).] 
[In that case, one night will go from twenty Pamitto to fifty Pamitto. Even if you do a rather large exchange, I believe that two hundred Pamitto a day won't be a problem.] 
[Can I do a money exchange from my tag?] 
Thinking that it would be a pain to have to take cash out from his rucksack, Kurando handed over his tag.
[So you use Rodo. One Rodo is ten Pamitto.] 
[......For now, please exchange enough for two thousand Pamitto.] 
[So I will be exchanging two hundred Rodo. Since I will be taking one hundred Pamitto as a handling charge, I will be taking two hundred and ten Rodo from your account.] 
[That's fine.] 
When he said that, the staff employee started doing their work, but Kurando didn't have to wait for very long.
[......Here it is.] 
The staff employee handed over bills of various sizes.
[Since I believe that you will have more chances to use smaller bills, I went and broke it down.] 
After Kurando said his thanks and put the bills into his pocket, he left the a.s.sociation.
The sun was still high. He decided that he would first go to the inn, get a writing brush and paper, then go to a blacksmith. And after that, he decided to check on things at the a.s.sociation.
