　--Turn back the clock a bit.

　In a room at the inn, a seemingly male-female pair was sharing a room, each with a costume up their sleeves.

They look great!　That's Mya, you look wonderfully pretty in men's clothing!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you, Sis Nene. But when you are dressed like this, call me 'Yami' even when we are alone at the inn. You never know where your ears might be, and you should get used to using a false name so that you don't accidentally say your real name."

Sis ...... Sis ...... sounds lovely."

............"

　Mya, the pseudonym "Yami" dressed as a man and called "Sis," may have struck a chord, and Kuone, the pseudonym "Nene," dressed in loose-fitting clothes, trips happily.

　Mya (Yami) was silenced by a touch of uneasiness at the sight of Kuone (Nene) blubbering happily.

　Mya and Kuone are currently being hunted for their lives by the heroes of the "Goddess cult.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is no way they can compete with the heroes who are level 7,000 and possess "legendary weapons," so they go to "Giant Tower Town" to give information to the "Giant Tower Witch" who might be able to counter them and to get themselves protected. I was about to head there.

　In her normal sorceress costume, Mya was dressed as a man, and Quone had cut her long hair and put on makeup, as she was immediately captured by the "Goddess Church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　All of the costumes and cosmetics were purchased in a town near the Principality of Six.

　They were currently in the process of changing in a room of an inn in that town.

　Incidentally, Miya pays for everything: clothes, cosmetics, lodging, and meals.

　Miya had a habit from her adventuring days of sewing money into her clothes for emergencies, so that she would be prepared for anything.

　When she was a poor adventurer, she used silver coins; now, thanks to her savings and the money sent by Elio, she is able to sew in gold coins.

　Thanks to this, he and Quone were able to pay for their fake clothes, lodging, and meals.

　At first, Quone also tried to sell off the magic items he had, but Mya put a stop to that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is not unusual for a magician woman to sell magic items in a town near the Principality of Six, but let's not do it, in case they can track us down," she said.

　Quone agrees to this proposal, but she has no money of any kind and is left to be taken care of by Mya, whom she regards as a saint.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She seems to have been concerned about this, but the joy of Mya dressing up as a man and calling her "Nene sister" seems to have blown it away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think it is possible that she is doing this on purpose, to blow away the dark atmosphere in which the brave men are trying to kill her.

　When Quone (Nene) has regained her composure, they sit down on the beds placed across from each other and talk.

　Miya (Yami), dressed as a man, clears her throat lightly before opening the conversation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then again, you can call me Miya (Yami) this time. If you use an elaborate pseudonym, there is a high possibility that you will call me by the wrong name.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Miya is short in stature by nature and has short hair.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If she were to wrap a cloth around her chest to make it smaller, wear men's clothes and pants, and wear a hood to hide her face, she would have the appearance of a boy.

　Quone, on the other hand

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then I will refer to Watashi as Kuone (Nene) sister. I am a necessary disguise to escape from the eyes of the 'goddess religion' and the eyes of the heroes!"

　Still slightly sniffling, Quone (Nene) was sniffling.

　She cut her long hair short and slipped out of her sorceress outfit and into an older woman's garment. Thanks to her makeup and clothes, she looks as old as she is.

We are sisters and brothers, although our hair color is different, and we are looking for a new place to settle after the death of our parents in an epidemic. We are traveling to "Giant Tower Town," which we have heard about through rumors.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, no problem. However, it would be better not to hide yourself in some random town on the way and send a letter asking for help. In a way, it is the easiest way. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't know how far the 'goddess cult' will go. I think it would be safest if we went directly to the "Giant Tower Town".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After some discussion, they agreed and rejected the idea of hiding in a suitable town after disguising themselves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After the disguise, we prepared our luggage for the trip. ......Wouldn't it be possible to sell some of our clothes to help pay for the trip?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No. The cloak and ribbons of the Six Principality Magic Academy are too conspicuous, and it is not good to have them in our hands, so we must absolutely burn them to prevent them from leaking during the journey."

I'm sorry, Miya (Yami), but do you have enough money?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Currently, magic items cannot be sold.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The clothes they were wearing could not be used to cover the cost of the trip, as they could be traced from there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since Mya used the funds she had for the disguise, she was overwhelmingly short of money to travel to "Giant Tower Town.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The travel supplies that could be prepared in this town were also not enough to purchase enough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Still, the girls had no choice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We might give big sister Kuone (Nene) a bit of a hard time during the journey, but please bear with us. I'm sure it will be a little better if we earn money by defeating monsters along the way, and if we can get more travel supplies and improve their quality."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In my case, travel was based on horse-drawn carriages and the like. ...... I'll leave it all to Miya (Yami). And since it's the same for Yami that he's in pain, he will never say a word of weakness.

I experienced many things when I was an adventurer. In fact, I am more fortunate than when I was an adventurer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I first started out as an adventurer, I really didn't have much money. I couldn't even use a tent, and I often found myself camped out with my friends in a dungeon with just a knife.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Compared to that, I still had enough money on hand to prepare for my travels.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The question is, are you sure about the route to 'Giant Tower Town'?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sure you'll be fine." I am ready.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Quone sits on the edge of the bed and squeezes his hands on his lap.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mya sits across from her, her mouth tightening at the sight of her forced smile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She tells her route again, not wanting to waste Quone's resolve.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... Then we'll take the 'Beast Alliance Route' to the 'Giant Tower City' as suggested by big sister Kuone (Nene)."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, please."

　The two were now in a town near the Principality of Six.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The fastest way to get to "Giant Tower City" from here is to take the water transport connecting the "Racial Kingdom--Six Principality" to the port of the Queen Elf Kingdom. From there, they would take a horse-drawn carriage to "Giant Tower Town.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If you do not use water transportation, but only land transportation, you will enter the "Racial Kingdom--Queen Elf Kingdom" and go to "Giant Tower Town.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At first, Mya assumed the fastest water transportation route, but quickly dismissed it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The goddess religion is not stupid. Water transportation will be suppressed soon. They will be waiting for us at each famous port, even if it is impossible to get to all of them in detail. If we were unlucky enough to encounter them, there would be no escape.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The next step was overland, but we also wanted to avoid Mya, which is in the racial kingdom territory, and near Quone's parents' house.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The goddess religion might mistakenly think that the two were hiding out at their parents' house, and the heroes might attack them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In order to avoid this, he wanted to stay away from the area as much as possible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I was worried about this, Quone made a proposal to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's go to the capital city of the United Kingdom of Beastmen, pass through the forest, and go to the "Giant Tower City" via the Queen Elf Kingdom.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mya was surprised at this proposal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the past, Quone and Mya were abducted and imprisoned by the beastmen of the United Beastmen Nation who went out of control, and were used as tools in the war against the "Witch of the Giant Tower.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Raised by a young lady, this abduction and confinement traumatized her, as it was the first time she had experienced such a traumatic experience.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a result, even now, when she is confronted by a bad-tempered Beastman Wolf or Beastman Taiga, her body stiffens, and in the worst case, she bursts into tears, her complexion turns pale, and she becomes nauseous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She has such deep emotional scars.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We can know that Quone is traumatized by the beast race by listening to their backgrounds and the testimonies of the people around them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would be difficult to believe that the heroes of the "Goddess cult" would go through the United States of Beastmen, the home of the beast race, partly because it would be a more roundabout route than the two routes we just mentioned.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, Quone suggested that they go through the Beastmen United States to repay the manhood that had been saved by Domus and the guards, rather than his own trauma.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Miya, taking her feelings into consideration, suggested a route based on her experience as an adventurer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

First, once we are in the territory of the United Federation of Beastmen, we will take water transportation to the capital. From there, we will hire local people to go through the forest between the Queen Elf Kingdom and the capital. We can move to the port city of the Queen Elf Kingdom by water transportation, but there is a possibility that brave men will be waiting for us. So I think it would be better to go through the forest in between. But first, I need to find out the market price to pay the locals to go through that forest, though. Other than that--"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Quone also occasionally makes suggestions on the travel route devised by Miya, and the two of them work out a revised plan to their mutual satisfaction.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In this way, the two were steadily making preparations for their trip to "Giant Tower Town.
