We'll make good money!
Be careful on the way home, okay?
Come home as soon as you can.

We left the harbor town with the merchant group, the adventurer group, the cat sisters, and a group of children who saw us off.

'So we're finally going home?'
We still have a few more stops to make, though.
Aren't you going back to the orphanage already?
Cruz, didn't you listen to me? You promised you'd stop by the Hidden Village, didn't you?
Oh, did you have some furs or something for me?


I'd like to go back home in a straight line, but I have to deliver the goods to the hidden village of the beastmen I found on my way there. Well, it's only a matter of time before it's on its way home, but I have to hurry and get home...

We have to hurry since it took us so long to get back.

I'm sure the director and others must be worried because the detour and the talk of building an orphanage took much longer than planned.

Are we going to the Hidden Valley as our next destination?

A short while after leaving, the old man asked for the next destination. I really wanted to ask if you can buy some goats and sheep and other things to talk to the people in the next town, but considering the early return would only stop at the hideout village.

Well, I can only stop at the hidden village because we do not have time.
I'll give you a lift.

I'm driving home in the wolf car with him, not to send him home....
I didn't know what he was talking about, but the old man instructed me to proceed to an unpopular place.

'This is the right place,'

When he saw that there was no sign of anyone around, he gathered his magic and was about to use some kind of magic.

'We must all go inside.

When you say that, the magic circle around your grandfather? appeared on the ground and began to glow. We hurriedly moved the entire wolf car into the magic circle. After confirming that we were all inside the magic circle, the old man activated his magic and for a moment I felt as if I had lost consciousness. Then he noticed that the landscape in front of him had changed.

'Are we near a hidden village?'

With a twitch of his nose, Cruz-kun tilts his head. Indeed, if you ask me, it seems to be the entrance to the forest near the hidden village.

''It's not just a transition.

A shocking statement from your grandfather! They have been transferred by magic from the port city to the hidden village. So this world 'transference magic' existed! I mean, a distance that would take days to cover in a carriage in an instant........

''Great useful magic......... Even I can learn it?
You can't!

Quick answer! When I asked him about it in detail, he told me that 'transference magic' consumes a large amount of magic power, so it's difficult for an ordinary person to use it, and it's also technically difficult because it requires a clear image. For example, my grandfather had been to the royal capital, so he could transfer to the destination? I asked him about it, and he said he couldn't do it because the last time he went there was more than ten years ago, so he couldn't get a clear image of it. Instead, he said there is a magic tool that uses a magic circle. It seems to be able to go back and forth between opposing magic circles and substitute magic power using the core. However, the magic tools are precious and use a lot of cores, so they're not used by the public. However, if I've found out that it exists, I'd like to make one someday.

This is a bit off topic, but I'm grateful that I arrived early, so I immediately headed to the hidden village.

Anego! Sis!

When they arrived at the village, the children gathered around them, led by the raccoon brother and sister. In no time at all, my sister was surrounded by the children of the village. The adults also came, so I brought out a variety of items and gave the village what it needed. This time I bought a lot of fish in the port town, so I gave away salt and dried fish at a reasonable price. Fish was not so popular because there is not much custom to eat fish, but the salt was appreciated.

After the exchange, we were not busy, but we left. And although we were going to return via the next town, the grandfather's 'transfer magic' took us near their house again, and we were back in Frey's town in no time at all.
