Arriving At Howling Village
The request that Kusha recommended was the delivery of a letter and money to a place called Howling Village.
It’ll be fine if it's just letters, but when it comes to money it makes me feel spent. I mean, yeah it’s the same as any other luggage, but still, the responsibility is huge. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I guess that is also a test in order to rank up to an E-rank adventurer.
Heading to the South gate, I see a knight-like person wearing armor.
And when I showed him the request form and my adventurer’s plate, I was able to leave the royal capital without paying the departure tax.
But well, I can use Teleport so there is no meaning in that for me.
You won’t be charged the tax if you’re in the middle of doing the request, but let’s avoid paying it by taking as many requests as I can.
Leaving the gate and crossing the bridge, a sprawling plain spread out, and a long road stretched out for dozens of kilometers in front of me.
「What a nice scenery」
My heart feels at ease with the pleasantly lush and green plain.
A beautiful plain of this size would be rare to see in my previous world.
I check the map to the Howling Village as I walk while enjoying the scenery.
It seems like it is located beyond several towns and villages from the royal capital.
It will take more than a week if you take a carriage. However, for someone who can use Teleport like me, I can decrease the time it takes to reach there even more.
「Teleport」
By imagining a place visible in the distant horizon, I was able to move several kilometers in an instant.
I have never been to Howling Village before so I can’t directly go there with a Teleport but, I should be able to go faster than a carriage if I were to do this repeatedly. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「I may be able to go farther if I can look at the ground from high above compared to Teleport from the ground」
I realized that while I was repeating the Teleportation.
I will be able to Teleport to a more distant place if I Teleport like when I have an extensive view of the royal capital like when I was at the bell tower.
So I cast a Teleport while having the image of the sky far above.
Immediately after that, I was able to Teleport to the sky above.
Gravity pulls me down as I start to fall, but there won’t be any problem if I Teleport to a place on the ground I set my eyes on just before I fall.
「It feels like I’m flying in the air somehow」
In reality, I was just moving in parallel by Teleporting in the air repeatedly but, being able to move around in the sky as I pleased was so fun I couldn’t help it.
「Gyaaaa!?」
「Ooh, I’m sorry」
It wasn’t like there was no one in the air, a bird that was flying in the air was screaming in surprise at my appearance.
While I was also surprised at that, I Teleport to avoid crashing into the bird.
No way, to think that I’m going to encounter a traffic accident in the sky.
I involuntarily smile wryly at the fact that I experienced firsthand an outrageous incident like that.
Guess I have to be careful now that I realize there are also living creatures in the sky.
Continuing to Teleport in the air like that, I saw a gathering of three creatures on the ground.
Goblin-like creatures with green bodies and only around 100 cm tall. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「So that’s goblins……」
I saw a poster of them being the target of subjugation on the Guild’s bulletin board.
Kusa said that there won’t be a lot of monsters appearing on the highway, but I wonder if that’s the case.
Goblins roam around the highway with animal-like movement.
They have sticks in their hands, but they won’t reach me.
From my perspective, as I look at them from the air, it’s not a problem if I just ignore them. But, they might be a good opponent to try my own attack magic.
I used the barrels to test my magic back at the royal capital’s alley, but I never actually tested it on living creatures.
I will be delivering goods outside of the royal capital from now on so I would probably also encounter more monsters while at it.
So in order to not be scared if I meet them in the future, I’d better accumulate experience fighting against them even if a little.
Thinking like that, I Teleported a short distance away from the goblins.
Maybe they realized that there was a person in the distance, the goblins happily jumped when they saw me.
「Gugyaa! Gugyagya!」
I thought they were no different than animals, but I couldn’t help but have an unpleasant feeling at their guttural voice and the way they jumped with their skinny limbs.
I couldn’t see their faces from the sky but, they are so ugly and malicious. It’s to the point that I know they can’t be reasoned with.
「Spatial Cut」
I cut off the space where the leading goblin is charging. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Immediately after that, the goblin’s body shifted diagonally, and then its upper half and lower half slipped apart.
Purple blood scattered and the goblin’s body tumbles down with a *doshari*.
I knew it, it looked like any creature in that space would be mercilessly cut.
「Gugyaaa!?」
The two goblins behind it were surprised and stopped in their tracks.
It’s no wonder since their friend was split in two without knowing the reason.
This time I aim at the two panicking goblins at the sight of their friend's corpse.
「Spatial Distortion」
Twisting the space, the goblin faces are twisted easily, and a crushing sound resounds.
The two goblins' body shook and collapsed to the ground.
I make sure there are no more goblins around before approaching them.
The experiment I did with the barrels was reflected in the goblins' current state.
The goblin that had its body cut is still okay for me, but the other two goblins with their faces twisted look awful.
The face that should be in their place ended up in the wrong place.
「It’s not very pleasant to look at」
It feels kinda weak since I bring down monsters from a safe area using the overwhelming power of Space magic, but still, this is the first time I subjugated monsters.
However, I never even killed an animal in my previous world. Although they are monsters that attack humans, I feel guilty about extinguishing lives. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
But, having that kind of emotion will just interfere with my life in this world. I don’t want to actively fight monsters, but I have to get used to it.
「I’ll just cut off the ear as proof of subjugation」
After cutting the goblin’s ear that was cut with the Spatial Cut, I toss it into my subspace and continue my journey.

「Oh, could that place be Howling Village?」
I was when the sun was about to set and the sky turned dark red.
After skipping several towns and villages by Teleport, I found a village that seemed to be Howling Village.
When I look down at that place from above, I can see a lot of fields spreading out.
Houses are spread around and no matter how you see it, there are more fields than buildings. There is no chaotic pedestrian traffic and loud noises like the one in the royal capital, it’s a countryside surrounded by mountains and forests.
The village is surrounded by a wooden fence, and there is also a modest-looking observation platform.
The place matches the description of Howling Village I heard from Kusha.
There is a guard holding a spear standing at the entrance of the village, guess I should properly enter the village from land.
I mean, it seems like they will be vigilant when a stranger suddenly enters the village.
I Teleport below to a place the guard won’t be able to see, then approach the village with an innocent look.
Then, a man with a spear in his hand noticed me.
「Ou, are you a traveler?」
He’s obviously older than me from his face and I was a little scared since he got a spear, but his voice as he called out to me was surprisingly gentle. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I wonder if it’s because this place is the countryside and the people are big-hearted.
「No, my name is Kureto, I’m an adventurer who has received a request from the royal capital」
「From the royal capital? To such a countryside? How strange. Just what kind of request did you come here for?」
「It’s the delivery of letter and money」
「And the sender?」
「It’s Greg-san and Taylor-san」
「Aah, those two, huh. Even though they became adventurers, they didn’t come back for a long time, how faithful of them」
Maybe he knew the sender, the man muttered looking moved.
「I see. I acknowledge that Kureto is an adventurer who received the request. There is nothing in this place but you’re welcome to come here!」
「No no, that’s my job anyway. Umm, if you don’t mind could you please guide me to the recipient house for Greg-san and Taylor-san’s package?」
「I’m fine with that, but let’s not do it today. The sun is about to set, you can do it tomorrow」
Certainly, the sun is about to set. I really don’t want to disturb them when they are having dinner, but from my perspective, I will be able to return to the royal capital as soon as I deliver the package.
So if possible I would like to give it to them as soon as possible.
「But……」
「If you’re worried about an inn, I can let you stay in my house so don’t worry about it! Come now, let’s go to my house! And tell me about the royal capital!」
I couldn’t resist the villager who firmly placed his arm around my shoulder. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
