Mushoku Tensei

Volume 4 Chapter 36.5 - Crossing Paths - Side Story

Part 1

After the boat trip had reached its destination, Roxy Migurudia arrived in the port city of the Magic Continent, Wind Port.

At that moment Roxy stopped her feet.

Wind Port, a townscape that looked a lot like Milis northern port city, Saint Port.

Even people who visited for the first time will feel the faint sensation that they have already been here.

However, the reason why Roxy stopped her feet was not because she felt she had seen this town before.

There was an obviously different mood from the Milis Continent.

She was feeling that.

(How nostalgic)

The feeling rising within her chest was nostalgia.

How many years ago was it that Roxy last visited this place.

Was it about 15 years ago?

If I think about it, a lot of time has passed since I longed for the human race villages and ran away from my village.

When I took the ship from here I thought about it, when would I return.

However, after I traveled to the Milis Continent, ate some of the strange food the human race made in Milishion, I never realized that such delicious food existed in this world, it was something you could never have eaten in the Magic Continent so I swore to never return again.

(I'm rather simple huh?)

In reality, since the time that Roxy passed over from Milis Continent into Central Continent she had never returned until today.

She never thought about returning.

There was a variety of things in the Central Continent.

All the things she saw were fresh and interesting.

Then at some point in the Central Continent, she had already passed the same amount of time she had lived in the Magic Continent.

Thoughts about the Magic Continent never entered her head.

She had even dived into labyrinths and had memories of fearing for her life, but she never remembered her parents that were left in the Magic Continent.

Just like that, until she returned now

Roxy thought to herself earnestly you never know what will happen in life.

"Roxy! We're going!"

While Roxy was standing still, a single woman called out to her.

With extravagant golden hair that is similar to French bread and long ears peeking through.

A tall and slender height, a tight, thin waist, and then a large butt.

Every time Roxy had seen her during this journey, it filled her heart with jealousy.

I know it's something that can't be helped in regards to racial traits, but at least I wish I had that sort of figure.

The size of our chests is about the same, but she has a balance that is filled with beauty while I'm just thin.

"Ha, I'm coming now."

She let out a sigh.

The name of that extravagant woman is Elinalise.

Elinalise Dragonroad.

She's an elf warrior, who serves as the vanguard while wielding a thorn-like estoc and buckler with her swordsmanship.

She's a warrior who uses elegant techniques that match up with her extravagant appearance.

Normally an Estoc is not a weapon an adventurer would carry.

It's something that is used in duels between nobles in Asura Kingdom and something fighters use along with armor in the sword city in the far north.

The one Elinalise uses is an item that was endowed with magic power, a Magic Item that was found deep within a maze.

It's far sturdier than the swords you could find around here and there and with just a single swing, you can fire off a vacuum that will cut down a tree several meters ahead.

Also, the buckler is an item endowed with magic power, a Magic Item as well, it holds the ability to soften the impact of blows it receives.

"O…oh? Land, it's land!!"

An older dwarf man came down from the ship behind Roxy while staggering.

He was wearing heavy looking armor, with his stern beard swaying, and a blue face while holding his staff.

His name is Talhand.

His formal name is "Talhand of the Great Rigid Peak."

His height is about the same as Roxy, but his width is over two times more.

His body covered in heavy armor, with a stern beard, this person is a magician.

Roxy first questioned why a magician would be wearing armor.

His feet are slow and his agility is close to nothing.

He would never be able to avoid attacks from monsters.

Since that's the case in reverse, by wearing sturdy armor like this, it seems he acts a vanguard and uses magic.

"Are you alright, Talhand-san? Would you like me to cast healing magic?"

"No, there's no need!"

While waving with his head swaying back and forth, he dragged along his slow body.

Normally he would be more casual, but he had been weakened quite a bit by sea sickness.

"Really now, you're quite shameful to not be able to handle something like a ship."

"What did you say? You!"

Elinalise put her hands on her hips and laughed out loud.

Talhand's face turned completely red as he got angry.

It was Roxy's current job to stop these two who quickly start fighting.

"Please fight later. Elinalise-san as well, it's fine if you don't say things like that all the time. Sea sickness depends on your constitution after all."

Roxy met them in the port city of Dragon King Kingdom, East Port.

Roxy was ignoring the two of them at first as they were fighting in the Adventurers Guild.

However, the contents of that fight were about searching for the missing individuals from the Fedoa region in the Magic Continent, so she cut into it.

It seems like they had a difference of opinion because neither of the two knew the geography of the Magic Continent.

Talhand who wanted to search in Begaritto Continent or the northern areas of the Central Continent.

Elinalise who felt it would be fine to just hire a local if you didn't know the path while you're looking for someone.

Then Roxy who felt uneasy about being alone and whose origins are from the Magic Continent.

You could say that they met because they were intended to meet.

Moreover after listening to their conversation further, of all things, these two were once party members of that Paul and Zenith.

"Fang of the Black Wolf".

Roxy had heard of it.

One of the most famous parties in the Central Continent.

It was an unusual party making quite a name for itself for being a gathering of unique personalities.

Within a few years of forming, they rose up to S rank then soon after, they dissolved was something Roxy remembered well.

In any case, I couldn't have imagined that Paul and Zenith were members of that "Fang of the Black Wolf".

Roxy couldn't hide her surprise.

Then, these two were equally also surprised.

If you were to speak of Roxy Migurudia, then it's of a publicly famous "Water King Class Magician".

A blue haired young girl who traveled here from the Magic Continent.

An alumni who graduated from the magic university and a few years later achieved the title of "Water Saint Class Magician", then conquered a labyrinth in the outskirts of Shirone Kingdom that had 25 floors.

After that, she took the position of Royal Magician for the Shirone Kingdom.

Stories from the times when she was adventuring are relatively famous as they were spread by the troubadours.

The meeting between three beginner adventurers after she left her village as a single magician, traveling across the Magic Continent towards Milis, that sort of story.

The name Roxy doesn't come up in that story.

However, it was a famous story back in the days that Roxy was the name of that lone young female magician.

The three hit it off.

Not quite going that far, but the two who accepted Paul's request to search for his family and Roxy heading towards the Magic Continent to look for Rudeus had combined objectives.

They formed a party together and headed off towards Magic Continent.

First boarding a ship and then heading towards Milis Continent.

Then in Milis Continent they arrived at the port city West Port and they paid a high price for a variety of horse called Sleipnir and a carriage.

It was a high price, but all three of them had a considerable amount of money so it was no problem.

The two of them are on bad terms with Paul so they decided not to stop in the capital of the Holy Milis Kingdom, Milishion.

The two of them were also known for their bad reputations in their home towns, the village of the dwarves in the Blue Dragon Mountain Range and the village of the long eared race in the Great Forest, so they decided to skip visiting there as well and moved straight forward to Saint Port.

The two used the excuse that it would soon be the rainy season, so the faster they travel through the Great Forest the better.

The rainy season is long and during that time you cannot move through the Great Forest.

However, taking into consideration the quarrels between the two and the fact that they didn't seem to want to stay in Milis Continent even a second longer, they took off in the carriage as Roxy came to the conclusion that they simply didn't want to return home.

Of course, in terms of results, it meant that they would get to the Magic Continent in an overwhelming speed so Roxy had no complaints.

"For starters let's go to the Adventurers Guild."

Roxy made that suggestion and the three of them set foot in the Adventurers Guild.

Starting with the adventurers guild, that's a standard for adventurers.

"It would be good if there were some good men!"

Roxy frowned with a sullen face after hearing Elinalise's words.

This elf known as Elinalise, unlike her chaste appearance, likes men.

Something you would never be able to imagine from her slender figure but she's already given birth to a number of children.

According to the person herself, she's suffering from that sort of curse, though she's not some sort of tragic heroine offering her body to unknown men, she looks at it as something she does because she likes it.

It's something Roxy couldn't believe.

"Elinalise-san. What we came here to search for aren't men!"

"I understand that."

Roxy made a frown that said you don't understand it at all.

It might be fine for strangers, but please think a little about the allies you're traveling together with.

It's fine if you do it on your own time, but right now it's an urgent situation.

Besides, if she were to get pregnant the journey would be delayed by that much.

I wish she would restrain herself a bit, Roxy thought.

"Roxy should have something like one or two men as well?"

"I do not."

Maybe if I had as much beauty as Elinalise is what Roxy was thinking.

However, unfortunate as it is, all the people Roxy had felt "this person is nice" did never consider Roxy as a woman.

Roxy is really popular with children, but she's not popular with men.

Part 2

The Adventurers Guild on Magic Continent.

Compared to the Central Continent the feeling is completely different as a wide variety of races combined to form a party.

After Roxy entered the guild, her eyes met with some obviously new adventurers.

Three young boys dressed in warrior looking clothing.

They came to visit Roxy with a nervous feeling.

"U…umm, if it's okay with you, would you like to form a party?"

After hearing the boys determined statement.

Roxy smiled bitterly.

"No, as you can see, I'm already in a party."

After being rejected like that the three smiled bitterly and left.

This is not the first time she's received invitations to join a party such as this.

Until now she's been invited many times.

All of them were three young boys.

Once upon a time troubadours told of this story, but I didn't think it had gotten this famous.

"Oh my, oh my, doesn't Roxy get some invitations from good men as well!"

Elinalise teased Roxy like that while patting her on the head.

It's the same as always.

Roxy won't argue back every time. She's not a child.

"In any case, you can't party with someone with that different a rank."

Currently Roxy's rank as an adventurer is A.

The average rank of the young boys who are lead astray by stories from troubadours is D.

At the very least I've never seen any of them above B rank.

The first time she received such an invitation, she stated full of confidence that the main protagonist of that story was herself then turned red with embarrassment after being unable to sell the name Roxy.

It was a memory Roxy didn't want to remember.

She couldn't have imagined that the troubadour didn't know about the race known as Migurd, they misunderstood and thought Roxy started her journey at around 12 years old, then made it to A rank within two years.

That's not all, the current stories are rather dramatized, something like conquering the Magic Continent in a single year and rising to A rank.

Don't joke around, Roxy thought.

In reality it took around five years to rise up to rank A.

Building a foundation in the Magic Continent, then rising up to B rank took two or three years.

Then from there on out intruded on a variety of parties for two years.

Even with that, if you compare it to the norm it would have been considerably fast.

These days, if you're lucky you might be able to rise up one rank from F within a year, there's no way a party with nothing but children could make it to A rank within a year.

"That's unfortunate, they seemed like they could be raised just to suit my tastes."

If you raised them, after hearing that Roxy remembered back to the old days.

She remembered back in the past when she was once called out by three new adventurers.

The three who once called themselves, "Rikarisu Gang".

The three young boys who saved me when I left my village and didn't know left from right.

One was sarcastic and always lying on the spot, but he was good at paying attention.

One was always telling off people and bad mouthing others using abusive language but he would always go back on his words.

One was an extremely wise person who brought together the party, but he died on the way during the journey.

They dissolved after they made it together to Wind Port, but…

Roxy was thinking.

I wonder if the remaining two are still alive.

It's something she understood after being active in the Central Continent, but being an adventurer in the Magic Continent is harsh.

The probability of dying is high.

(It would be nice if you guys are still doing well, Nokopara and Bureizu)

After thinking that far Roxy laughed a bit.

It's been twenty years since then.

Those two who weren't particularly part of a race with longevity would have long since retired from being adventurers.

The only one who never changes is just me.

(I'll go with the nostalgia another time.)

Roxy changed the direction her feelings.

The reason I came back to the Magic Continent was absolutely not to visit home.

Rudeus, it was for the sake of finding that family.

"Now then, let's gather information."

After making that suggestion to the two, Roxy took a look around the adventurers guild.

Part 3

After gathering information she came to an understanding that the existence known as "Dead End" is currently in this town.

It seems like it's some sort of newcomer group that has recently been spreading its name.

If you speak of "Dead End", then it would be the name of a demon that everyone knows about.

A monster even among the Superd race that is especially dangerous and is always targeting children.

Roxy was always being threatened with that name by her mother when she was younger.

Bad children will be kidnapped by "Dead End", like that.

Roxy's face turned into a frown after they returned to the inn and summarized all the information in relation to "Dead End".

"It's an unbelievable story."

"What is?"

"Trying to sell the name "Dead End", I can't imagine they're sane."

What is dreadful about Dead End.

Is the fact that it's a person that actually exists.

It's not really well known in the Central Continent, but Dead End certainly does exist.

Naturally Roxy has never actually seen him, but all of the rumors she's heard are dreadful.

In regards to the Magic Continent it could be considered the most terrible monster.

The Adventurers Guild is afraid of retribution and hasn't specifically placed a bounty on his head, but if a subjugation job were to come up, without a doubt it would be S rank.

Furthermore, if you were to succeed, it would probably count as a double rewards for an S rank job.

"I don't understand it myself."

After comparing the information Elinalise had gathered, the man calling himself "Dead End" is a tall, fair skinned baldy wielding a spear.

And then it's been said that he's a handsome man as well.

"From the stories, it sounds like he's a good man, should I try inviting him to join me in my bed?"

Talhand spit in a displeased way.

"It's information that doesn't matter at all."

The information Talhand had gathered, was that "Dead End" is a three man group.

Each known by the names, [Mad Dog Eris], [Watch Dog Ruijerd], [The Owner Ruijerd], it seems.

The latter two are siblings or at least that's whats been said.

The Mad Dog is red haired, the Watch Dog is a bean pole, and The Owner is a shorty.

The Mad Dog uses a sword, the Watch Dog uses a spear, and The Owner uses a staff that seems to be an item endowed with magic, [Magic Item].

The reputation of the three aren't very good.

"The Mad Dog is quick to pick a fight, The Owner says and does nothing but bad things. It seems only the Watch Dog is a pretty good guy. The rumors seem to say he likes children, and he never overlooks wrongdoings."

That's quite an odd evaluation was what Roxy was thinking.

It seems like the information started to distort at some point.

If a villain does something even just a bit good, then they'll over exaggerate and change their opinion of them.

Surely, the fact that Watch Dog is a good guy as well, is this sort of case.

Otherwise, maybe they're intentionally letting such information flow out in order to deceive someone.

It seems they have not only violence but also intelligence.

"They seem like a dangerous group. Let's go without trying to get involved with them."

"That's right. It wouldn't be good to have villains set their eyes on us when we're about to go searching for people."

"Now then, let's get onto the main topic."

Roxy changed the topic.

The reason they went to the Adventurers Guild wasn't to gather information on Dead End in the first place.

"Was there any rumors about people from the Fedoa region?"

"None."

"There wasn't any at all."

Roxy thought they might have been too late.

The Magic Continent wasn't a comfortable place where you could survive after suddenly being teleported there without any sort of decent equipment.

In order for someone to survive for a whole year without anything.

It would be almost impossible in that land.

They might have ended up like one of the people who had died after the teleport incident in the Fedoa region this past year.

"Of course, what we came here to search for was Paul-san's family."

"Zenith, Lilia, Aisha, and Rudeus."

Roxy had already told all the characteristics that she knew of to the two here.

Since she only knows about Aisha from what she has read from Rudeus's letters, it's kind of vague.

"Well, if it's Zenith then she's probably alright."

"That's true."

These two are acquaintances of Zenith.

Therefore, they aren't very worried.

Roxy doesn't know exactly how "useful" Zenith was, but she knows exactly how strong these two members of the "Fang of the Black Wolf" are.

Since these two are saying it's alright, then it's probably alright.

"Rudeus stands out a lot, so I think we should find him soon."

Roxy remembers her disciple who showed his overwhelming talent at five years old.

If it's that child, no matter where he goes he'll stand out and become a popular topic.

Zenith and Rudeus.

The three thought that they would quickly find information about those two after entering the town.

Then if they were close to a village, they would have enough strength to survive on the Magic Continent.

Therefore, the ones they need to search for are Lilia and Aisha.

They decided from the very start to look for information relating to these two.

"Let's decide on a deadline. We'll gather as much information on Lilia and Aisha as we can over two days, then on the third day we'll get ready and circle around the surrounding villages, how does that sound?"

"Isn't two or three days too short?"

Roxy waved her head at Elinalise's words.

"The Magic Continent is large and the probability that they are dead is high. First we should go around to each of the main towns in the Magic Continent and setup search jobs at each of the Adventurers Guild branches."

Asura Kingdom offered financial aid for assistance in searching for the Fedoa region's population.

If you ask the guild in each town to setup jobs for it, then if the job succeeds, Asura Kingdom will pay for it and the Adventurers Guild will search on their own. For the most part, if you don't have proof of signature from the job offered, then they won't post the job even if you ask.

If you were to put it in reverse, if that's not done then Asura Kingdom won't pay the guild.

Roxy felt irritated over how bad the Asura Kingdom responded to the great disaster.

Since it's a major power, normally you'd think they could organize an even larger scale search.

The ones who are actually out searching for people are just Paul and them. Just the ones who were involved directly in the disaster themselves.

(The fact that Asura Kingdom has started to rot internally doesn't seem to be just a rumor.)

It's the country with the longest history, I wonder if it's started to rot from political authority and tradition.

"Now then, let's work hard at gathering information tomorrow as well."

"Understood."

"Roger."

Roxy isn't the type to spend a lot of time on every little thing.

She doesn't want to waste time on something that might end up pointless, finishing things as fast as possible, then departing.

That personality came out when she instructed her disciple Rudeus on her ultimate spell and then departed soon after.

That prompt and snappy decision making is one of her strengths, but as Rudeus had noted, she also had a clumsy side to her.

Of course, there's no one who would point that out, and the person herself thinks that is her strong point.

Even though that's the case, making a request to the guild on the first day, searching around on their own on the second day, then setting off on the third day.

You could call it scheduling that wastes no time.

Although if they had stayed for at least one week, maybe a different result would have come about?

Part 4

The second day.

Roxy decided to go take a look at "Dead End" out of curiosity.

Since they stand out, she quickly learned about their location.

There's a female and male pair on the beach working hard at training.

Just as the information said, a lanky bald guy and red haired young girl.

The young girl who was wielding a real sword with both hands, attacked the baldy with a frightening speed, then the baldy easily parried it.

If I remember correctly "Dead End" is a three man group with one big person and two small people.

(The shorty known as The Owner isn't here?)

Mad dog and Watch Dog were repeating an exceedingly high level of offense and defense.

Even if you say it's offense and defense, it's just a matter of Mad Dog attacking and Watch Dog parrying, but it was a technique which Roxy couldn't follow.

Roxy continued to watch that situation from the shadow of a distant rock.

It was just like an older sister making use of a magic pitch as a weapon to fight in the pro baseball world.

These two are strong.

Even in the eyes of Roxy who has traveled the world for many years as an adventurer.

At the very least, she didn't think it was the level of strength of someone going around making crafty moves.

(Making contact with them as well might be a good idea, right?)

Yes, the moment Roxy thought of that Watch Dog turned around.

(…!)

She felt like their eyes clearly met.

An intense stare.

Roxy felt an intense fear.

She received an illusion as if she had become a prey to be hunted.

She quickly left that place.

Part 5

Ruijerd had felt the girl's presence from the start.

Was there something she wanted or was she just watching.

After taking a look in that direction, he saw the face of the girl who was peeking from behind the rock.

(No… it's not a young girl.)

That is an adult female Migurd.

It's hard to tell at a glance, but you can't fool Ruijerd's "eye".

However, it's not a presence I know about.

It's not like there's only one Migurd race village.

Is she just looking because it's unusual, Ruijerd looked over and the young girl averted her eyes and ran off somewhere.

(Mu… did I scare her?)

"An opening!"

The moment he let down his guard, Eris went in for an attack.

It was an attack full of fighting spirit.

"Ku!!"

That day, Ruijerd suffered his first mistake in regards to Eris.

"Yay! It went in?! It went in right?! Yay!!?"

Eris raised both of her hands and was delighted.

Recently Eris' techniques have started to get better.

In the future, she should certainly grow into a good swordsman.

However, she's still young.

If she becomes arrogant here, it will eventually bring about a bad result.

Ruijerd had seen such a thing a number of times as a warrior.

Therefore, he hadn't intended to let her land a hit for the time being, but he let his guard down a bit due to that Migurd female.

Ruijerd silently sighed a bit so that Eris couldn't hear it.

Part 6

Roxy quickly returned back to her inn while looking behind her a number of times.

No one is following me, no attacks have come.

She returned to the inn full of anxiety.

If it's that level of fighting, there's a need to prepare a magic crystal.

There could also be a need to draw a magic circle and prepare some scrolls.

Roxy was thinking they shouldn't attack her just for looking at them, but they are the kind of crazy people who called themselves "Dead End", it's better to remain prepared.

"Ah, ah!! Good! It's good! More, more!"

Roxy was exhausted of her strength after hearing a loud voice coming from Elinalise's room.

Didn't that woman not go out to look for information? Bringing a man to the inn just to enjoy herself…

"Really now…"

She had already heard that Elinalise was quick to bring in men from Talhand.

No matter what the situation is, if she sees men she'll soon charm them, it's the first relationship she holds.

It was the same in Saint Port, and according to Talhand it seems it was the same even deep in a labyrinth.

She has too little integrity.

However, it also made Roxy feel a bit relieved.

She would have felt helpless if she was alone right now.

Since Elinalise is over in the next room, I'll prepare for a fight, then I'll wait for the liaison to end.

Then, when the voices end, I'll pull on Elinalise's ear, and we'll resume collecting information with the two of us.

Killing two birds with one stone while keeping an observation on Elinalise.

(Well, I don't think they would even come as far as the inn but…)

After thinking that, Roxy started to prepare for a fight in her own room.

It's not like the walls in the room are thin, but Elinalise's loud voice could be heard.

After listening to that even Roxy started to get into a weird mood.

(……Oh.)

She grabbed her right hand that was reaching down towards her abdomen with her left hand.

I don't have the leisure time to do that kind of thing right now.

(Nevertheless, it's surprisingly long…)

Three hours.

Roxy just continued to silently wait.

It doesn't seem like Elinalise's liaison is giving any sign of ending.

And then, there was no sign that "Dead End" was coming to attack either.

Roxy started to feel stupid.

At the same time she who was doing what needed to be done and started to feel irritated at Elinalise who was just doing what she wanted to do.

Right now we don't have the time to be doing something like that and even though I'm enduring it myself.

After Roxy's anger reached her limit she kicked her way into Elinalise's room.

"How long are you going to keep doing that? What about information gathering…"

"Oh my? Roxy? Did you return?"

"Eh, huh?"

There were five men in the room.

"Would you like to join in as well?"

The scent of men drifting around in the air, the vulgar smiles floating on the men's faces, then, Elinalise making an expression of ecstasy on top of such a man.

Things like that…with a number of people, not only that but with mutual consent, it was way beyond Roxy's common sense.

"Ahh, waa…"

Roxy very easily went beyond the limit her head could process at this spectacle of deep karma.

"Uwaaahaa!!!!!

Roxy let out an unsightly scream and ran from the place.

She dived into her own room, prepared her staff while breathing in and out deeply.

"Magnificent spirits of the water, oh imperial thunder prince in heaven!

Strike down them with your majestic sword of ice!

[Icicle Break!]"

The inn was partially destroyed.

Part 7

Then the third day.

Departure from the town.

Since that sort of thing happened, a number of things ended up becoming vague.

The information gathering was incomplete and they forgot to make a job request at the guild.

They destroyed the inn and paid a considerable fine to repair it.

"It's all Elinalise-san's fault."

"It can't be helped. When I was gathering information in a back alley, I received a passionate invitation."

"Even then, that kind of… Five people, it was five people!!"

"Roxy will eventually understand one day as well. A strong and beautiful adventurer like me, being treated like a toy by five hoodlums like that, it feels like I'll have a child just by thinking about it."

"I don't want to understand it."

During her time in the magic university Roxy was still a child, she didn't really understand things like lovers or spouses.

The first time she seriously wanted a partner was the time when she saw how affectionate Paul and Zenith were.

I want a partner like that for myself.

However, just as she was thinking about that, she remembers back to a story from an acquaintance of her during her magic university days.

She met her current husband in the depths of a labyrinth, then they overcame many troubles together and finally got married.

Roxy thought that was it.

If I dive into a labyrinth as well, I might be able to get my hands on one.

Her delusions became inflated in her head.

In order to be saved by a manly, straight laced, good height, but still childish, human race young man then by coincidence they combine their strengths in order to escape and in the process fall in love with each other, then by the time they get out of the labyrinth the young man who learns of his allies death will be comforted by Roxy. Then have their first time that night.

After, she actually tried diving into a labyrinth that illusion was easily crushed.

Labyrinths are a harsh place, the adventurers are all grim, the only one who was childish was her.

The solo adventurers stopped around the fifth floor.

By that point she gave up on the idea of a meeting.

After she made it to the tenth floor she started to feel it was pretty rough and looked for a party, but everyone thought she was childish and laughed at her.

Just like that, she continued to solo while making adjustments and in the end she managed to conquer it.

A result of youth.

She felt like she was going to die a number of times, but she had good luck. She doesn't want to try it ever again.

"Well, for starters Roxy just needs to find the first one. How about it, next time together?"

"Absolutely not."

Her illusions have all been crushed.

However, her ideals still remain.

Getting a handsome man in the depths of a labyrinth is probably impossible, but just normally falling in love, and normally getting married should be possible.

She has no intention at all of giving her body to one of those men from around here that Elinalise always pulls along.

And then…

"We don't have the free time to say things like that right now."

At the very least, Roxy decided that she's fine being unmarried, while they travel in the Magic Continent.

And so, like that, while messing up the first step, Roxy began her journey around the Magic Continent.
