Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken
To the Dwarf Kingdom
As Rigurdo had declared, the preparations were complete by noon.
Choosing the expedition party was also uneventful.
Rigudo's son Riguru was in the top five candidates. Of course, Ranga came along.
Oh, oh! Should I make Riguru the commanding officer?
I was a little uneasy about it, but he himself agreed.
Rigurdo also seems to have regained his youthful vigor, so maybe I worry too much.
And so, after I had picked up the baggage, Ranga had me get on his back.
*Boyoyooon!* I was buried in his fur.
And while the surrounding fur seems to have secured me in place, I still feel the need to use [Sticky Thread].
It's times like this that make me regret not having arms or legs, but I guess I can manage with abilities.
You see, I secretly practice manipulating the string.
To defeat an enemy with a web! Isn't that every man's dream?
Whether I'll be able to learn those techniques, I do not know; but I decided to keep practicing regardless!
That aside, the baggage held our money and provisions.
Food enough for three days.
If the trip takes longer, the plan is to hunt the rest of the way.
We could have taken more, but I'd rather avoid bringing a caravan worth of food.
Well, I could carry nearly an infinite amount inside of me...
But spoiling them is a bad idea.
Since I do not eat anyways, that was my decision.
For currency, we brought 7 silver and 24 bronze coins.
Which, of course, is a meager amount.
I don't expect much.
If it's not enough... we'll figure that out later.
Now then, time to go!
At a goblin's pace, the trip to the Dwarf Kingdom takes about two months.
"Through the forest runs the vast Ameld River.
Beyond it, a mountain range reveals itself.
And it is in those mountains that you will find the Dwarf Kingdom." They said.
Other than by the Empire to the east, the Jura forest is surrounded by many countries.
And yet bordering no state, stands the Canaat Mountain Range.
Thus, there are only three trade routes leading to them.
One goes right through the Jura forest.
Another, the harder, traverses the mountains.
The last is a sea route.
Currently, the Jura forest route is by far the shortest and the safest, but, for some reason, it's generally avoided.
And so, the harder mountain route had been the norm.
As for the sea route, the cost and the powerful sea monsters steer sailors away; thus, it is the least used route.
For now, we have no business with the Empire.
Thus, rather than heading east, we headed north to the mountains.
Nor do we need to ascend to the mountain summit.
