章 4: Tag Along!
Chapter 4
Inside the tent, a dignified blue-haired goddess sits next to a bed.
At the same time, the memory of Sirius before passing out began to recollect in his mind. Especially, the last dazzling blue and the goddess figure gradually overlapped in his mind.
After recalling, Sirius gradually realized the reason for her presence.
At that time... he was rescued by the goddess Artemis, right? And still being picked up like a princess?
Although it may not be so exaggerated to describe it as so, there seems to be nothing wrong with the wording, right?
Sirius knew a lot about the goddess before him, even though both of them had never met before.
During a meteor shower more than ten years ago, in a remote village on the mainland, Sirius reincarnated into this world and began to grow up as a newborn child with the memories of his previous life still intact.
Apart from his being a mediocre otaku, Sirius was nothing outstanding in his previous life. His hobbies were games, anime, and some light novels to pass the time.
He was an orphan in his previous life and made some youtube videos to earn his living. Apart from that, nothing was interesting about his previous life.
That's why it was easy for him to accept his new life.
Due to his previous life memories, Sirius quickly determined the world he reincarnated into.
In a world with the Labyrinth City Orario, where the gods descended from heaven to have fun, what else could this world be other than 'Danmachi'?
Sirius decided to become an adventurer and live an extraordinary life in this new world.
Now that sixteen years have passed, Sirius, who had longed for Orario since childhood, finally persuaded his parents to let him leave his village and go to Labyrinth City.
After all, reaching the age of sixteen means that one is already an adult in this world. So, at this age, one has to decide on his career stand on his own.
And Sirius has never made his parents worried about him ever since childhood due to his mature mindset. So, two simple-minded parents of his were reassured of his long journey, believing that he could take proper care of himself.
And fast-forward a bit, Sirius met the pack of dire wolves and was chased by them, and then being picked by the goddess in her home and be alone with each other?
His current situation seems like something out of a story!
Instead... he was alone with Artemis.
Although the goddess in question seems to be in a daze for some reason!
But it didn't take too long for her to recover her senses after Sirius cautiously stood up from his bed. Artemis immediately noticed his movement and looked at him.
"Huh? So, you're awake. How are you feeling? Is there any discomfort?"
A beautiful voice came out of her mouth. She softly asked Sirius some questions, realized her mistake, and converged very quickly.
"Thank you for saving me, there is nothing discomfort, I'm feeling well!" Sirius smiled and replied to her question.
He didn't feel any pain in the body except in the head.
Well, he could understand the reason why... After all, it was where he was injured in the battle.
He just hopes that there will be no scar left after the recovery. After all, he still cares about his looks. God gifted him a handsome face in this life, so he treasures it very much.
"No need for thanks, remember to be more careful next time. Don't go deeper into the forest, it is very dangerous for an ordinary person to enter the forest alone. Where is your home? If it is nearby, maybe we can take you back..."
Not knowing the drama folding inside Sirius's mind, Artemis earnestly advised him and proposed.
"Well..." After hearing this, Sirius was dumbfounded.
He ran out of his home on a journey. It's been more than three or four months since he left the village to join a nice familia and become an adventurer.
And now the goddess is asking me to send back?
For the time, Sirius didn't know what to say.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" After finding his strange reaction, Artemis asked with some doubts.
"No, lady goddess, it's not your problem, it's my own... I left home because I wanted to be an adventurer. The place where I want to go now is..."
"Labyrinth City Orario!" Before he could finish speaking, the goddess had already guessed his destination.
"At the end of the western part of the continent, there is the center of the world, where the gods reside..."
Such words are written down in the biography of some adventure stories.
While this is true, the reality is often crueler than the story.
Many newcomers who come to the city because of its fame often get stuck on the first step toward their dreams because of a lack of strength.
Without Falna, it's challenging for a mortal to gain strength.
After thinking about it... Artemis looked at Sirius carefully and nodded secretly for some reason.
Indeed, teenagers of his age will still be attracted by the beautiful stories in the book!
'Probably another dreamer~' The goddess thought so.
"Ummm, lady goddess, I feel like you have misunderstood something?" Aware of Artemis's weird gaze, Sirius tentatively asked to correct it.
"Huh? Is there any?" The goddess looked at him in confusion.
"There should be. Your gaze just now is pretty weird..." Sirius didn't know how to answer politely.
"Ahem, is it just my illusion?"
"..." The goddess just gave him a deadpan expression.
Although Sirius was confident that he was not wrong, the goddess had said so. What can he do besides accepting it?
"You're going to Orario..." Ignoring the boy in front of her for the time being, Artemis stretched out her hand and pointed her chin into thinking.
After some time, the goddess put her eyes back on Sirius, but she looked at him weirdly.
"Should I say that your arrival is a coincidence, or that you are just lucky! My familia has just completed the commission of a dragon hunt, and now it is time for us to return to Orario for repairs and maintenance of our pieces of equipment..."
After blinking for a while, Sirius couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at the beautiful goddess in front of him and seemed to be able to guess what her following words were.
As Sirius expected, Artemis gently opened her lips and said, "If you can follow my arrangement, you can tag along with us..."
"Is that for real!? Thank you so much, lady goddess!"
After hearing this, Sirius immediately propped up and moved forward in excitement. There was a joyful look on his face.
Finally, he won't have to worry about reaching Orario.
Not to mention tagging alongside a powerful familia, there will be a lot less danger along the way.
And, most importantly, Sirius doesn't know the way to Orario!
Before leaving the village, according to his father's description, although his home village is located in a remote place, the distance from Orario is not as far as he imagined.
Many bards along the way said that it would only take about a month or two for him to reach the Labyrinth city.
Not to mention two months. It's been about four months since Sirius started his journey, but he is nowhere near Orario.
In the beginning, he joined a merchant convoy to Orario. But, about half a month after departure, a sudden monster attack caused Sirius and the convoy to be separated.
What followed after that was three months journey without a clue.
It may be of his peculiarities, but every time he enters the forest, Sirius will definitely encounter monsters like goblins, Kobolds, etc.
Before even reaching the dungeon, Sirius had already encountered these monsters on his journey.
Adhering to the principle of escaping if one can't beat it, Sirius spent most of his time running from the monster's pursuit.
He's almost tearful thinking about it...
But thanks to this, his mentality is almost ready for being an adventurer.
Many life-and-death encounters along the way have polished his will beyond the limit. His future adventures will be a lot safer after this suffering.
