A Place With A Warmer Weather To Spend The Winter

Teleporting to the west from the royal capital.....I just continue to single-mindedly use Teleport.

It might seem like that was all there is to it, but there’s nothing I can do about this.

I mean, I’m just solely staring into the distance and etched the image into my mind and cast Teleport. That’s it.

There are no lively conversations or encounters with anyone else at all, like with the trip to Kagura or the royal capital back then.

I just repeatedly use teleport so people won’t get suspicious of me.

Since there are limits to what a person’s eyes can see, I use mana to strengthen my vision and focus in the distance. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

I can see roughly, two, or three kilometers ahead.

Although, there is nothing around here and it’s difficult to imagine a necessary object or place to teleport here so it’s important for me to find a place easy to imagine in my mind. So it’s not like I can keep on teleporting three kilometers at a time.

I teleported to the highway and looked into the distance to find a place to teleport.

It’s difficult to teleport to the highway because there are few things that left an impression in my mind so I don’t have a choice but to find something that will.

As I gazed into the distance, I could see a snow-covered cart abandoned two kilometers away.

Snow may have piled up on the cart while transporting something or a wheel broke.

I don’t know the reason but it’s a good landmark.

Burning the scene next to the cart, I cast Teleport.

Immediately after, I arrived next to the snow-covered cart.

Yosh, I was able to teleport two kilometers. It will likely become easy to teleport the next time I come here if there are easily noticeable objects like this.

Having successfully teleported myself, I gazed into the distance again to find the next teleporting place.

Then, I saw what appeared to be a house far ahead.

It looks like it’s a small village around there. It will also make it easier for me if there is a village like that.

I teleport near the village’s entrance.

The instant my vision changed, there was a simple village entrance made of wood right in front of me.

「……Luric village, huh」 [ルーリック]

There was such a writing when I looked toward the sign.

So there was such a village to the far west of the royal capital?

「Uoooh!? How long have you been here?」

As I stared at the sign in amazement, a man holding a spear shouted next to me.

「Uwaaa, that surprised me!」

I didn’t think there would be someone at the village entrance so I was surprised to hear someone shouting next to me. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「No, I’m the one who should be surprised. You, how did you arrive in front of this village?」

「U, umm, I just walked here normally though?」

「Walked? Oi oi, there is only a straight road toward here, y’know? There’s no way you can approach this village without me - the guard - knowing, right?」

「But, I’m already here?」

I came here using Teleport......no way I could tell him that so I lied by stubbornly saying I walked here.

As long as I’m right in front of him, this man has no choice but to acknowledge it.

So when I told him that with resolution in my tone, the man gnashed his teeth looking frustrated.

「That might be true but……you, I’ve never seen you before? At least you’re not a kid from this village. Just how did you get here?」

However, the man’s feelings changed from doubt to suspicion.

Come to think of it, that’s true. In small communities, the connections between the residents are very deep.

I mean, I will also notice it right away if I see a face I don’t recognize in Koryatt village.

It wouldn’t be as suspicious if there were adults accompanying me or if it was someone from a nearby village or settlement who frequently visited, but neither of those things applied to me.

It’s sad for a seven-year-old kid to be treated as a suspicious person even though I just came here by chance, but there is the threat of monsters in this world compared to my previous world and there is also the difference in the area’s public security in different areas, so this is probable natural.

Just that, it would be troublesome for my identity to be exposed so it can’t be helped.

I can actually show him my house’s crest as proof that I’m a noble, but there won’t be any meaning in this trip if they make contact with my family. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

As a result, I should――

「Ah! What is that over there!」

「Hm? Where?」

When I pointed somewhere and shouted like that, the man’s sight left me. And at that moment, I teleported to a tree in the distance.

I hid behind the tree immediately after teleporting and secretly peeked toward the village’s entrance from behind the tree’s shade.

I could see from the distance that the man on guard immediately looked for me in panic. I’m sorry for him, but he won’t be able to find me no matter how hard he’s trying. I already teleported and far from him after all.

「It might be better not to stop at such a small village carelessly next time」

I’m currently not an adult and I have no adult to accompany me so I’m going to be conspicuous.

No matter what, let’s teleport to a place where away from people if I really want to use a landmark to teleport.

Having decided that in my mind, I teleported to the next location.

◆

Thus I passed through plenty of large towns and small settlements for some time with repeated use of Teleport. There was no longer snow on the ground as the whole area was now a vast plain.1 

The temperature was increasing significantly and there was a clinging heat in the air.

I - who was wearing winter clothes - immediately started to sweat a lot.

「It’s hot!」

Maybe it’s due to using Teleport to move to another place in an instant that I had arrived in this kind of climate before I knew it. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

Looks like the temperature is about the same as before summer.

I couldn’t bear the heat since I sweated a lot so I took my winter clothes off and changed into a short sleeve taken out from the subspace.

Then, I store the lumpy winter clothes in the subspace.

「Haahー, it’s cool……」

The wind caressing my skin feels comfortable. It has really been a while since I wear short sleeves.

Even I - who had used Teleport many times - in response to the easily noticeable changes happening around me feel a genuine sense of freshness.

I have probably gotten closer to Lazur Kingdom. Even before I entered this vast plain area, the grass and trees had completely disappeared.

I avoided encounters with monsters and people to the utmost so it may not be your typical journey but the change in scenery is fun.

Continuing to remember unexplored areas like this makes me feel like I’m mapping inside my mind.

For someone like me who used to meticulously map open-world type RPGs in my previous life, I quite like this kind of simple work.

I’ve arrived at a warm location anyway so I have completed my aim of finding a warm place to spend in winter.

But, it’s no fun in a warm vast plain with nothing around to spend the winter.

More for being a warm place to spend my time, I should find a place attractive enough to relax.

In any case, I’ve come this far anyway but I don’t see any desert so I’m kinda curious about what kind of country Lazur Kingdom is.

「In order to have a comfortable slow life, I must not compromise here and my next goal is to find a place sufficient to be my winter retreat」

It’s a hassle, but I have to keep going and persevere to have a comfortable life. I mean, I can go there anytime once I go to that place. I have to be patient for once.

In order to move on to the next step I check the amount of mana remaining in my body.

Although I have used Teleport more than a hundred times, it doesn’t appear to have consumed an extreme amount of mana.

Judging from the amount of mana remaining and experience, I should be able to Teleport back to Koryatt village.

Although I said that I’m feeling mentally fatigued, maybe because I’ve been using Teleport so many times to reach this place.

I might still be fine when it comes to the amount of mana, but I feel like I can’t endure it mentally. I guess arriving at the winter retreat has caused the tread of tension inside me to snap.

I don’t need to do it all in a single day so let’s stop here for today.

I will return to Koryatt village once I arrive at an easily noticeable landmark.

There is a huge rocky mountain far ahead of me as an easily noticeable landmark in my current field of vision. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

It looks similar to the Ayers Rock in Australia in my previous life and the surface is gently sloping. It looks like it’s a few hundred meters tall.

That will leave an impression as a landmark, quite all, and also no sign of humans.

Besides, it will allow me to look far away, going to make it easier to use the next Teleport.

Creating Shields as a foothold to climb high up to the sky, I observe the top of the rocky mountain.

Making a vivid impression of the scenery in my mind, I cast Teleport and instantly arrived at the summit of the rocky mountain.

「Ooh, it’s the desert!」

Of course, the view from the top is great, but what gave me a strong impression is the desert area visible in the distance.

There’s not a single tree or vegetation growing there. Simply brown sand spreading to the horizon.

That place should be part of Lazur Kingdom’s territory. The boundary between the desert and the vast plains is so clear you could see it.

Right at the foot of the rocky mountain is a lake and around it are private houses scattered here and there.

People are probably making careful preparations before setting their foot into the harsh environment that is the desert.

Un, I’ve reached the gateway to the Lazur Kingdom so this is a good enough result for one day.

「Yosh, let’s go home」

After sitting down and taking a break on the summit of the rocky mountain, I used Teleport to return to Koryatt village.

Immediately after that, the desert scenery in front of me suddenly turns into a snowy landscape.

「It’s cold!」

Then, I was shivering due to the temperature difference and I was wearing short sleeves. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
