Theater Dragon Slayer
「Oーi, we’re down already 」
I called out to the pale-faced Eric who closed his eyes as soon as we’re on the ground.
「……really? It feels like it’s faster that I thought, are you sure?」
「……I’m sure」
Currently, we’re on a rooftop of a building in the northwest near the theater.
How did we go down, you say, I used teleport instead of going down using Shield.
I was trying to go down using Shield like before, but then Eric began to get scared so I used it.
I was desperately trying to run away from those wicked groups that I didn't have any time to worry about using it, when we were climbing up. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
And certainly, it is quite scary when you can properly see the view from above as you go down rather than climbing up.
Even though Eleonora-neesan was also feeling fine when she climbed up, as soon as she became aware of the ground below, she broke down. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
So,
I manage to trick Eric since he closes his eyes, and uses the gap when the girl in the castle who looks this way turns her gaze away from us.
「We’re on the ground! No, it’s atop a building to be exact. 」
Eric stepped on the ground a few times, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
「So patheticー」
「Shut up! To begin with, you don’t have to climb up to such a high place right!」
「No, it will be annoying if we were seen by the people on the ground, and the scenery is better the higher we go, right.」
「........I don’t care about that thing. By the way is this place around the northwest part?」
Maybe he remembered his scared appearance when he was in the sky, Eric looked around and changed the subject.
「It’s closer to go down at the northwest of the theater, don’t you think」
Looking at the roof of the building and the surroundings in the northwest from the above, we were able to leap down using teleport instantly . www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
It’s also fine to teleport to the narrow path near the main street, but to be safe, I teleported us to the roof of a big building.
Should I say I didn’t overdo it since I use teleport while bringing Eric with me this time? I’m not that confident if I can safely teleport the two of us on such a narrow road at the same time.
And I don’t want to hit someone or something and get hurt, so it’s better to just teleport to a place that has a wide roof. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
And as expected, as long as I’m in contact with them, it appears that it is possible to teleport with more than one person. And it seems the consumption of magic power increases in proportion to the number of people.
In other words, it has the same principle so far, but maybe if Eric were an adult, the magic power consumption would increase a little more, I guess.
With the exception of doing it by myself, this is a valuable experience since I rarely have the opportunity to use it with others.
「Then, let’s go down shall we」
「Are you okay? If you’re scared you can hold my hand and we can go down together okay?」
「I’m fine! I can do it by myself!」
Eric was trying to go down to the roof of another building shorter than this one, but then he was angry when I tried to hold his hand.
He snorted and went down the building.
Even though he was clinging to me some time ago.
「Quickly come down here」
「Yeah yeah, I know」
「Let’s go quickly」, Eric urged me to hurry up and descent as well.

「......so this is the royal capital’s theater.. It’s fairly big isn’t it」
Looking up at the big, brick-colored, and dome-shaped building in front of me, I let out a voice of wonder.
The people in the surrounding, like nobles or the townspeople were rushing for this theater.
The white, clean staircase at the entrance, and the many windows on the dome making the place look gorgeous. However, I think there’s no need to place a picture1 of an ossan in the middle.
He looks like someone who has a strong desire to be the center of attention. Could it be that he’s the founder of this theater?
Well in any case, I knew at a glance that it cost more money than expected, guess I can expect more about the play hereafter.
「It require money to enter, huhー」
「Well,that’s because it is a theater managed by a noble. And it’s also famous.」
When I heard that, now I understand why this theater looks excessively gorgeous.
So basically, that picture of an ossan is the noble managing the place, huh.
We entered inside, bought tickets at the reception desk for nobles, and then we sat down at the designated seat.
Naturally, the inside is round in shape, there are seats at the first floor, second floor, and the third floor, all of which are colored in red. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
The only place not red in color were the stairs and the aisles. Maybe the stage is now being prepared, the thick red drop curtain2 is still closed.
I’m sure that the worker, actor, and actresses are now busy running around behind that curtain.
The noble’s seat that we’re currently at is the front seat on the second floor. Ordinary people were mostly on the first floor, but it seems that people can go to the second floor by paying more money. The people around us who look a bit more neat than most people are probably merchants.
But apparently, it is impossible for commoners to go up to the third floor no matter how much money they have. So there's a difference in social status, huh.
As for me, I don’t think that kind of height3 matters. The service might be nice, but you need five gold coins to go to the third floor.
Truly an excessive price.
Meanwhile, Eric is complaining about how he spent most of his allowance to buy today’s meals and the ticket to the second floor.
I’m fine since the sales of Reversi are good, so I have more than enough in terms of allowance. I think I already earn enough money in a lifetime with just this alone.
As we waited, we watched as the townspeople and families were taking their seats one after another.
In the blink of an eye, the seats in the theater are completely filled with people and become lively.
『Papa! The Dragon Slayer’s play will begin now!』
『Aah, that’s right. The actor-san is cool, but the real Nord-sama look even more cool you know!』
『Really!? Then, I’ll be that person’s bride!』
『........hahaha, you’re going to marry a powerful man in the futureー』
I heard the innocent voice of a girl, and the hoarse voice of a father.
Since Elna-kaasan is the only wife of Nord-tousan, please give it up girl. It’s a path of carnage4 if you step in between them. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

And then the scene changed, the fake guy arrived at the royal capital.
While he raised his voice of admiration toward the place that is bustling with people, he entered the Adventurer’s Guild.
Inside the large and open interior, there are a lot of adventurers sitting together and making noises at the bar.
Everyone was holding a tankard in hand, shouting loudly , and eating their meals. There are some of them who were doing arm wrestling, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the people around them.
A few female adventurers were mixed among them, they are a sight for sore eyes. Even though they are few compared to their male counterparts, female adventurers do exist. I guess it’s going to be an advertisement, that not all adventurers were men. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「......so this is the royal capital’s Adventurer’s Guild」
When I have the chance, I’m going to take Eric hiking to the sky.
「Nevertheless, he’s a really slender guy. Do you think he’s a woman?」
The adventurer said that in scorn, trying to pick a fight with the fake guy, and the other men laughed as if they agreed to that.
The fake guy tries to go past the adventurer by going around him quickly. Maybe he thought that there would be no end if he started dealing with this kind of person. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Why are you ignoring me!」
But, it seems that he just struck the man’s nerve, the man threw a punch toward the fake guy as he tried to go past him.
Yet, the fake guy slightly shifted his body to avoid it, then as if to get back at him, the fake guy stuck out his leg to trip him and make him fall.
Ahaha, this is a move that Nord-tousan often used when we trained. When I make a large swing with my wooden sword, my legs will immediately be caught. Was it a coincidence?
「Hahaha, that Bors7, knocked down by a rookie. So shameful!」
An adventurer teasing voice sounded, and the voices of derision moved from the fake guy to the guy who was down.
「That guy, doesn’t look like his appearance suggest.」
「Maybe Bors fell down because he drank too much? Uhahaha!」
The man’s face turned red from humiliation from being knocked down by a rookie, and being laughed at by a lot of people.
When he saw that, the fake guy sighed, and the man struck at the fake guy again.
「This bastard!」
The fake guy safely evade it
Instead of stopping the sudden fight happening, the surrounding adventurers were trying to stir them up by cheering on them.
There are even voices of people betting on who will win this fight.
When I look at that, I got the feeling that I’ve seen that kind of scene before somewhere
「Hey, can you get out of the way?」
Just when the angry man was about to fight with the fake guy near the entrance, a female voice could be heard coming from the entrance.
The voice spread throughout the place like the sound of a bell, stopping the movement of everyone inside the guild. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Suddenly, a girl with chestnut-colored hair squeezed herself between the two men. Or rather, she was just trying to enter the guild from outside.
Certainly, the fake guy and the man who were standing still near the entrance were to blame. But even if it’s their fault, it appears that this girl doesn’t really care about the air of tension between them.
Her glossy chestnut-colored hair was reaching her lower back. With resolute eyes the same color as her hair, and attractive looks. She has a womanly figure, and it might be that she’s a mage, as she wears a robe with a long cane in her hand.
Let me see, who is this girl who appears suddenly?
While I was thinking about it, I understood who she is owing to the male adventurer remark.
「..........oi, it’s Elna.」
The moment I heard that remark, I almost screamed out loud.
