Seeker 228.1

Test

Chapter 228.1. To The Capital

After breakfast, we left the village and headed north along the highway towards the capital of the Holy Kingdom.

Rebecca-san was accompanying us as well.

I'm not entirely sure why she's coming along.

When I asked if we weren't going to the World Tree, she said she'd had enough of that for now.

She seems like the person who goes with her feelings, so worrying about her motivations would probably be pointless.

It's not like she'll be harmful to have around, so I think I'll just let her do as she pleases.

That's what I thought, at least.

"But Rebecca-san, you shouldn't get too close to senpai!"

"Oh, come on, that's so mean. I want to tease the boy a little too. When I hug him, he turns red right away, and he looks so cute, you know?"

"That's why I'm telling you not to do it! Daichi-kun too. Don't get too close to Rebecca-san. Got it?"

"Well, let's see... alright, I guess, but my will is..."

"Daichi-kun, you're so weak-willed. You become all lovey-dovey in an instant. Think about the one worrying about your infidelity here."

"Yes..."

Under the gentle sunshine, as we strolled along the peaceful scenery of the highway, we had such conversations.

Goats kept in the pasture nearby were bleating.

I think Rebecca-san is harmless from my perspective, but Kazane-san and Yuzuki were now keeping a close eye on her.

By the way, there were passing merchants on the carriage driver's platform who would mutter things like, "Tch, harem guy. Must be nice." as they passed by.

When did all of this start happening, I wonder?

Just a few months ago, I was supposed to be a loner.

Well, it started when I became a seeker, I guess.

Sometimes, I still wonder if I'm dreaming in bed, but it seems like this is my current reality.

Our abilities as seekers have grown to an unimaginable level since coming to this world.

This is how our stats look now. For Kazane-san, Yuzuki, and me.

The basis for comparing numerical increases is the status from about a week ago, just before heading to the Fire and Ice Dungeon. 

At that time, we were all at level 41, and the skill list available we could get at that level had been updated. 

Each of us had acquired new skills and experienced significant power-ups. 

But now, everyone has surpassed level 41...

In our world, I remember hearing that the owner of the weapon shop is at level 46. 

Moreover, he's considered one of the top experts in Japan at that level. 

I had vaguely thought about it before, but... could this Level Break Event be a really dangerous one?

With 77 days remaining, we still have more than three-quarters of the time left. 

Or perhaps from this point onwards, the experience curve required for level-up will sharply bend. 

No matter what, we mustn't let our guard down.

If we can't return to Japan, the levels we've raised and our lives will end there.
