Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

Chapter 197 The Promise that is Fading Away

Alicia and Malki waved vigorously as the monsters watched them go, and then began to move forward. The shouting did not stop. Alicia wanted to turn back, but for some reason she did not turn back.

Ramander, looking at her, smiled and stroked her head silently and tenderly.

It was completely dark when they finally reached the village, and when they saw Sergio's estate, it was time for Marchi and his parents to say goodbye.

"Then we say goodbye."

"Ah. Are you going back to the capital tomorrow?"

"Yes, I plan to take a carriage with the children tomorrow morning. Leo, come to the capital next time. Bring your family with you." Ramand said while shaking hands with Malki's father Leo.

As the two shook hands, Alicia noticed that Malky seemed a little unhappy. Alicia naturally walked over to Malky and asked, "Hey, Malky...will you play with me again?"

At that moment, Malki showed a surprised expression. He hesitated for a moment, but finally showed a happy smile.

"...Yeah!" He nodded firmly to Alicia.

"Then it's a deal." Alicia held out her little finger. Although there were no words between them, this simple fingertip agreement was enough.

For them, this promise must be fulfilled in the future. This feeling is obviously shared between the two of them, and the adults can also clearly feel it.

"Haha, that's so cute. They can be good friends." Lamande said with a happy smile, while Leo and Salia -

"ah……"

“Yes, really…”

There were indescribable complex expressions on their faces. Although Lamande was a little concerned, he felt that it was probably no big deal.

--------------

The next morning, as the carriage was being prepared for the trip to the Sforia capital, the children said goodbye to Sergio.

"Thank you for your care during this period, Elder!"

"Well, take care. You're always welcome to come back and play."

The children responded excitedly to Sergio's words, and then they got into the carriage that was ready. At that moment, Alicia looked around. She was looking for Malky. She thought he might come to see them off.

But she didn't see anyone who looked like him. In fact, no other children from the village were there, except themselves. It was still early in the morning, and there was nothing she could do about it.

(But, we did make a date yesterday. I will definitely come back!)

Alicia clenched her fists and stepped onto the carriage with a little strength. Seeing this, Jill tilted her head in confusion.

Ramander also got on the carriage, and the carriage carrying the children started moving. In front of the carriage, the adults who came to see them off continued to wave. The children also waved excitedly until they could no longer be seen.

During this time, Alicia spotted a boy in a far corner, who was waving gently with the slimes. Alicia, who was originally in a low mood, suddenly smiled brightly and waved more enthusiastically.

When the elf village disappeared from sight and the children quieted down, Jill approached Alicia with a smile: "Hey, Alicia. You look in a good mood? Did the boy come to see you off yesterday?"

From her expression and the end of her words, it was obvious that she was joking, but Alicia did not deny it.

"Well, yes. We also made an appointment to play together." Alicia answered with a smile, leaving Jill speechless for a moment.

"Oh, really? Wow—" Although it was a broken speech, Jill's mind was full of confusion. I thought she would blush and panic, but I didn't expect her to be so strong.

"That's a new friend, isn't that great?"

"uh-huh."

Although Jill's expression was still a little confused, Alicia didn't notice.

Her good mood never changed after that. Although Russell tried to ask, Alicia did not answer, because she was called away by other girls, and the question naturally ended.

Finally, they found a suitable place for the carriage to rest, and it was time to rest. While eating a simple meal, Ramand said to the children, "It will take several days to reach the capital. Don't let your guard down!"

"--yes!"

After that, the carriage moved forward smoothly without any incident. Ramand and the children arrived at the royal capital safely and returned safely to their parents.

The commotion caused by Russell and his friends on the first day had already reached their parents. Although further reprimands were waiting for them, the punishment was relatively light because of Sergio's suggestion.

Russell and Oliver both pleaded with their parents and received permission to formally learn swordsmanship.

When they were free in the village, they especially participated in adventurer training, and it was obvious that they were very eager to become future adventurers, so Alicia naturally spent more time with Jill.

When he talked about the time he spent with Malky again, Gil, as expected, teased him with a teasing smile, but he quickly calmed down and said that he must introduce them formally next time.

Alicia agreed, of course, and she excitedly thought about what she and Malky would do and talk about next time they met.

"Hey, did you hear about the elf--in--that thing!"

"Yes. Is it true that the child over there has disappeared?"

Although they seemed to hear the voices of such people in the distance, Alicia and the others did not pay any attention to them.

----------

Several years have passed. Alicia's magical talent has been developed, and today she is still practicing driving magic under the guidance of a magician.

She concentrated on her thoughts, surrounded by the sounds of the forest, no human voices, only the sound of wind rustling leaves.

Alicia gathered the wind between her hands and finally formed a small ball. She was surprised by the magic ball of green light, but eventually the magic ball disappeared.

"I lost my focus at the last moment. No matter how much mana you can generate, it's meaningless if you can't use it correctly."

"……sorry."

After being reprimanded by the female mage Sasha, Alicia was a little frustrated, but Sasha's expression remained stern.

"What are you doing? Try it again."

"Yes Yes!"

Alicia's practice continued. It was quite rigorous. Sasha's teaching was rigorous.

However, no one, including Alicia, would have a problem with this. Thanks to Sasha, Alicia's magic skills have improved significantly.

And, although Sasha didn't say it, she thought Alicia had potential. If she really didn't have talent or ambition, she would just ignore it. Especially in Sasha's case, it's the same for many people.

In short, Sasha taking care of someone is rare for people around her. People who know her are also quite surprised. Just like this, Alicia's practice is about to end, and people around her whisper from time to time.
