Chapter 25: The departure

After checking out his skills and abilities once more; Ed left the castle and headed to the market. There, he bought herbs and medicinal plants to make pills and potions. He also bought some blacksmithing materials that he would use to maintain his swords' quality.

Ed had gotten some money from his father's as thanks to his contribution in helping the country. On on top of the money, he got from selling monster corpses, he didn't have to worry about losing money any time soon.

Ed also headed to the shop where he ate at the last time he was searching for Oliver. There, he asked the old man on pointers for cooking. After he had gotten the cooking skill, he wanted to try it but didn't get the chance.

The old man was happy enough to share his recipes with him, but Ed just declined. "I like this shop's food so I wouldn't want to spoil it by making the food on my own" Ed did indeed enjoy the food that was made in this shop. If he made it himself it would lose a lot of its meaning.

Ed headed to the food market and purchased a lot of ingredients. To his surprise, most of the food that was in this world is identical to his previous world. Other than some 'interesting' looking food he didn't have any problem identifying the ingredients he needed. He also bought some spices; they were very expensive to his surprise.

After sorting out everything, Ed returned to his home. He didn't have to carry anything since he had the Inventory he got from the Game interface V2. 'Although I complained before, I'm glad I got this ability' Ed was all smiles inside.

Ed returned to his home and Becky informed him that his luggage was ready. Although he was leaving the next day he still preferred to prepare everything beforehand. He went to the training area with his sister and Raikou. Oliver didn't join them after the last time since now he always trains in the sect.

Ed taught Bella some new techniques this time. Every time he showed her a skill she would memorize it immediately which showed that she had talent with the sword. If she wasn't young and still weak, she would be a genius and execute any skill perfectly. He would need to point out 1 or 2 mistakes if any at all when she was performing the techniques.

'I should get her a katana the next time' Ed thought about crafting her a magic weapon but decided against it. If she got a powerful weapon now she might rely too much on it and discard her training.

The training lasted for about two hours this time; Bella's stamina was getting better and better. Ed went and took a bath as usual and joined his family for dinner. Although he disliked it, he wouldn't be seeing them for a long time so he went anyway.

The dinner was lively as everyone kept asking Ed for souvenirs. He was going to a different country so it was only natural they would be curious about it. Ed promised them all to get them different things and he reminded himself to get some for the servants as well. They always took care of their family so he should give back to them as well.

After the dinner, Ed got back to his and slept as soon as his face hit the pillow. He had to save some energy for his trip tomorrow.

The next morning, Becky woke Ed up and he washed his face and changed his clothes. He then made his way to his father's office.

"Ed; which carriage would you like to take?" Arthur asked Ed since he wanted him to choose for himself.

"I don't need a carriage. Raikou should be faster and his stamina would be better than the horses anyway" Ed also wanted to train his Shadow Steps in this journey.

"Well, then you would know better. Leonard will be giving you a map and directions for your journey." Leonard was also present and he moved up to Ed and gave him a map.

"The journey to the Scale country isn't too difficult. It would take you 1 week to get to the country. Then you would only need to make your way to the capital which should be easy enough. There are a lot of small villages along the way so you can stop by them to restock on supplies." Leonard kept explaining the map to Ed.

"I understand" Ed didn't know much about reading maps but he could still understand what he was being taught.

"Well then it's time for you to head to your adventure" Arthur got up and walked Ed to the entrance of the castle.

When he was about to leave he noticed many presences near the entrance. It was the rest of his family along with Griffin Oliver and even Becky. They had all come to wish him a safe journey.

"Promise me you'll be okay Ed. Don't let anything happen to you. Don't get scammed along the way. And be careful of bandits!" His mother seemed very worried and she even had tears on her eyes.

"It's the bandits that need to be worried." It was Eric speaking. "Next time you come back I'll have surpassed you, brother!" Eric made a fist and hit his chest. It was his declaration to get stronger.

"Take care of yourself big brother!" Bella came up and hugged Ed she was also teary eyed.

"Young master Ed, take care" Becky bowed in front of Ed and spoke.

"Take care, Master Ed" Griffin and Oliver spoke at the same time and saluted Ed.

"Thank you, everyone. I'll be sure to get you all souvenirs!" Ed was moved by his friends and family's actions. They all cared deeply about him.

"Take care my son" It was Arthur's turn this time. He put his hands on Ed's shoulder and patted them. He got something out of his pocket and gave it to Ed.

"This is a letter written by me. This should be enough evidence for your identity in case anyone questions it" He handed Ed the letter.

"Thank you father" After saying his goodbyes Ed made his way to the entrance of the city. He was taking a different route this time than the one he took when hunting.

"Raikou!" Ed called his trusted partner and rode him.

"It's time for an adventure"

"Woof!"

The duo ran along and disappeared from view after a few minutes.


CREATORS' THOUGHTS
Shigun Shigun

Hello everyone! I have some bad news. It's exams time for me so I won't be able to post as much as i used to. I can still manage 1 or 2 chapters a day tho.

I hope you forgive. I'll probably do a mass release after O'm done^^

Chapter 26: The hunt (1)

Ed continued on his journey with Raikou for a full day. They only stopped to eat. Raikou's stamina was even more impressive than what Ed had estimated; he could keep up his top speed for more than two hours.

Thanks to Raikou's speed, they had traveled three days' worth of time in only one day. This allowed Ed to have time to rest and hunt.

After sundown, Ed got Raikou to stop and prepared to eat. He also summoned Suika and got her to wait while playing with Raikou.

Ed got some beef steaks and seasoned them with salt and pepper. He had made a pan using some metal with his Blacksmith skill. He also found a plant that was similar to rosemary in the market and bought lots of it. He used it to skewer the steaks.

After a while, the smell of the food he cooked filled the entire area. But no monsters approached them, it seemed like Raikou's aura scared them away since he was not hiding it.

"Raikou, Suika time to eat" Ed called his two companions and presented them with the food. The trio made quick work of the food and seemed even hungrier. 'The effects of the cooking skill are a lot more beneficial than what I thought' Ed had cooked before in his world but he was never as good as he is now. He was confident to win a beginner's cooking show if he joined.

The three of them ate to their full and looked blissful.

"Woof!" "Suu~~!" Raikou was wagging his tail while Suika was jumping up and down. Satisfied Ed decided he would put his Pharmaceutical skill to test. He pulled out a lot of plants and started working.

He was trying to make potions so he had bought vials before. Although he couldn't find any glass ones, there were a lot of different ones made from different materials.

Ed kept a record and failure and success. Although his skill was as good as the Blacksmith skill, it seemed like it needed even more precision. Ed thought it would be a waste to throw away the failed potions so he got Suika to drink them.

"Suika if you feel unwell in any way, or any pain, stop immediately!" Ed didn't know how much Suika could handle the potions. She had the poison attribute now but that didn't mean she was immune to it.

"Suu!" Suika, on the other hand, kept drinking the potions like they were a cold drink on a summer afternoon. Ed kept close eyes on Suika in case there were any changes, but nothing happened so he was relieved.

Ed didn't know that the potions he was making were considered top class potions. That was the reason why he kept failing so much.

After Ed was done, he put away the materials and potions in his bag. He also turned off the fire he used for cooking and prepared to sleep. He got a huge tent that could fit all three of them, prepared it and got inside.

The three of them slept peacefully with no issues until morning.

The next morning, Ed decided to hunt since he was ahead of schedule. He checked his map and noticed quite the number of red dots around him. He headed to the closest one along with his companions.

After he got there he didn't find any monster so he got on guard. If it was some sort of invisible monster they would be in trouble. As soon as Ed was about to activate his Sharingan a bush started moving. 'Monsters in bushes… What is this pokemon?!" Ed couldn't help but retort in his mind.

Soon enough the monster came out and to their surprise, it was a slime. Only this one was red, apparently, it had the fire attribute.

"Hahaha, so slimes do exist in this world not only you Suika." Ed now didn't have to hide Suika in the academy. If there were no slimes in this world, some monster collector might target Suika if he sees her.

"Suika, how about we catch this slime so it can be your companion" as soon as Ed finished talking Suika looked agitated.

"Suu! SUU!!!" She jumped down from Raikou's head and did a super tackle on the fire slime. Before Ed could react he heard a notification.

Obtained 500 exp.

Suika slowly turned back towards Ed and Raikou. "Suu…." She spoke in a slow manner as if warning the two. Both of them got shivers down their spine.

'My slime is a yandere…' Ed shook his head and went to Suika as if nothing happened. He could only hope she wouldn't lose her cool some day and decide to kill him and herself like in some cases.

After a couple of minutes, Ed reached another red point on the map. When he got there this time was outside of the forest and close to a rocky area. He found the monster he was looking for.

"Is that a dragon?!" Ed was surprised and made a mistake identifying the creature.

[Host is mistaken, that is a wyvern] After quite an absence the system made a comment.

The wyvern had a pale white look. It had two legs while its hands were its wings, the same as in the legends.

Ed was preparing to hunt this wyvern when the system notified him.

*Ding*

Special quest received.

Hunt the elemental wyverns (0/5).

Reward: 10.000 Exp. 5 Gacha tickets

As soon as Ed received the quest he withdrew his two swords and got ready to hunt. Raikou also got ready and Suika seemed eager to fight this time as well. She didn't do anything last time so she was feeling useless.

"System scan the wyvern!" Ed didn't want to lose his life for no reason so he had to make sure it was an opponent he could handle.

[Scanning please wait]

*Ding*

Name: Ice Wyvern

Cultivation: King establishment (Level 4).

Ed was relieved it wasn't some heavenly establishment monster. He decided to use fire magic more this time so he coated his swords with fire and sent a slash towards the wyvern.

The wyvern noticed the slash and dodged it. However, it was pissed that someone dared to challenge it so it dived directly towards Ed.
