Vol 4: Chapter 5

Well I kinda expected this.

Kimidori Gorn-sans parents house was huge.

It was a mansion located in the center of Dragonewt City.

The three-story stone structure, roof painted with a glossy red paint, was incredibly conspicuous. When the sun set, the mansion glowed slightly in the dark.

No matter how drunk Papa is, he can always find our house from a distance, nu.the auntie said, all smiles.

Welcome home, young master!

A line of brawny dragonewts of both genders, bowed their heads. I was surprised to see so many bodybuilder-like dragonewts.

All the employees looked macho. The auntie doesnt look macho, but she did kill a 1-meter rabbit with a low-kick in an instant. This is a whole new world!

Hyaha!

A wild mohican appeared!

The man had no hair, so it was just his cockscomb spiking up ridiculously.

Madam, I see you caught a pretty good-looking one-horned rabbit today, nura!

Kimi-chan came back, so I gave it my all, nura!

Hyaha!

The dragonewt man, who seemed like a cleaner, merrily left to the kitchen after receiving the rabbit. Of course, he was also macho.

Which reminds me, I think I heard a Hyaha from one of the escorts in the Kruvan Holy Kingdom. Perhaps that person is a distant relative.

Asha and I were shown to the guest room. Since the majority of the dragonewts were gathered in the Dragonewt City, there was almost no traffic between towns, and it seems that there are fewer hotels and houses with guest rooms outside the city.

I am so sorry. Since our house is also small, we only have one guest room, nu.the auntie said. It must be nice to be young, she then muttered, her eyes gleaming. She seems to have terribly misunderstood our relationship. Asha, please dont start blushing. It will make me self-conscious too

Shall we exchange information about what we noticed?

Anyway, after calming down, I broached the subject with Asha.

Ill start first The architectural style and other things havent really changed much. The language being the same is also a very important point.I said.

The writings in the city are also the same as ours, but I did see some older writings.

A world that is exactly the same in terms of component, but differs in terms of history

But Ive never heard of a way to connect two worlds even in the High Elf royalty.

Hmm Asha, have you ever heard the words Covenant or Old Covenant?

I unexpectedly recalled the Covenant from that time.

Until now, I have tried to not get too deeply involved in matters of the Covenant, but when talking about the two worlds, the Covenant is inseparable.

Covenant If you mean the articles passed down in the Elven Forest, then I know it.

I tilted my head. What does that mean? Are there many types of Covenant?

I urged Asha to explain further.

The High Elves manage the Skill Orb Covenant. The articles are very simple

Do not take too many skill orbs.

The skill orbs make up the world.

I heard that it consists of these two articles.Asha said.

This new information about the Covenant felt kind of strange.

Dont take too many skill orbshuh. Did the dragon in the Sixth Mine detect the hoarding of skill orbs and so tried to destroy them?

Its very simple, isnt it? So much so that it doesnt feel like a Covenant

Yes. I was wondering the same thing when I first heard it. It seems that this is only passed down to the High Elf royal family.

Well, what was it again? The first article was

Dont take too many skill orbs

Ah, yes yes

Wait! Why did I forget that?

When I tried to recall information about the Covenant, my memory became vague and hazy.

But that is extremely strange. I cant forget anything because ofWorld Ruler.

Although I have a faint image of it in my head, I cant remember it word for word.

Is something wrong, Reiji-san?

Ah, no. It just doesnt remain in my head

Speaking of which, there is something like that. Only the High Elf royal family knows about the Skill Orb Covenant. Even High Elves outside the royal family cant keep it in mind, let alone the elves.

Do you know what is the purpose of the Covenant?

I have only heard that the Covenant is necessary to manage the Third Forest in the Elven Forest. They might have told me more if I wasnt born like thisAsha cast down her eyes, dejectedly.

Asha is probably referring to her peculiar constitution that activatesFire Magic, which is taboo for elves.

Asha. But thanks to that I was able to meet you. And being able to meet you is a very wonderful thing to me so dont be sad about that.

Ah

Ashas lovely thin lips parted, and then she turned her gaze to the side.

Not fair If you say it in that way I too am very happy

I couldnt really hear what she said towards the end even withHearing Enhancement, but I heard the Not fair at the start perfectly.

Not fairhuh. Thats true. She cant say I am not really happy to have met you when I say it in the way I did

Thinking normally, no one would say Im very happy after being thrown into the Back World.

I am sorry!

EH!?

Asha was surprised as I suddenly bowed down as much as I could.

I got too ahead of myself! I didnt mean to take advantage of Ashas kindness! And I had no ill intention! I just tried to cheer you up!

Eh? Eh?

I will go see how people in the mansion are doing Please rest up, Asha.

Ah, n-no

I reflected on getting cocky, and decided to leave Asha alone to rest. Asha is kind, so she wouldnt tell me to leave even if she wants to rest.

I have to be a tactful man, instead.

Reiji-san~~~ !?

I heard Ashas voice coming from behind the closed door, but I said, Its okay. Take your time! and walked down the hallway.

Asha was in a bad mood when I met her again during mealtimeWhy?
