Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

At least in terms of distance, this road is simpler than the road from the border of Shuter to the capital of Santono, that's Jill's feeling.

"Then we'll start from the Great Forest and head straight for the capital of Sforia. We'll meet up with Courtney there anyway."

“Wait, that cute kid is gone? I thought he was doing something else…” Jill asked in surprise, and Xu Zhen shook his head.

"He went to the Kingdom of Sforia with his father first. It's a family thing, so to speak."

"So that's how it is..." Although Jill was shocked by Xu Zhen's words, he quickly showed acceptance.

"Then let's go. We'll be staying in this forest for a while. What are your plans, Alicia?"

"In that case, we will go with you. That's what we planned. Hopefully, things will calm down after today..."

"Wait, Jill!?" Alicia hurriedly stopped Jill who was about to let the cat out of the bag, but her words had already been heard by Xu Zhen.

“What do you mean by ‘things have calmed down’?”

"Well, this is entirely our business, please don't mind it."

“Suddenly the way he speaks has become strange.”

"Then let's start over and go!"

"……what is going on?"

Facing Jill's obviously abnormal behavior, Xu Zhen and Lati became suspicious. Although they didn't say anything, Slakic and Lopul had the same expression.

Xu Zhen and the monsters did not ask further questions, but it was obvious that Jill was trying hard to cover up something. The suspicion about this was not eliminated, but instead it once again aroused their vigilance against Alicia and the others.

Alicia and Jill felt awkward about their position and regretted it all in their hearts.

(If I had known this would happen, I would have just been honest from the beginning. We didn’t do anything bad, and there’s no need to hide it…)

After finding the right time, Alicia planned to confess her experiences to Xu Zhen and the others. She had no idea that the worst was approaching step by step.

“Damn it! Hasn’t Ms. Sylvia been found yet?”

Inside the Santono Palace, the search for Sylvia continued. Douglas, who was in charge of the operation, looked anxious, and the other soldiers were also searching eagerly.

Russell and Oliver looked at each other and nodded. They decided that if they continued like this, it would be bad for everything. They walked over to Douglas and made a suggestion.

"We suggest expanding the search area. Personally, I think she may no longer be in the palace."

"I have the same opinion. And as adventurers, we won't attract attention when we walk around the city, so we should be able to conduct the search more smoothly."

After hearing Russell and Oliver's opinions, Douglas put his chin in his hand and thought: "...You make sense. Can I ask for your help?"

"Of course." Just as Russell was about to nod emphatically, a soldier came running over.

"Lord Daglas! An adventurer has provided eyewitness information about Ms. Sylvia!"

“Really? Well done! So, where is Ms. Sylvia now?”

"She has left the capital and is running towards the southern forest!" The soldier's shout froze the atmosphere. Many people were happy to have found Sylvia, with smiles on their faces, creating a strange scene.

A few seconds later, Douglas opened his eyes wide, approached the soldier, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Ridiculous! What on earth are the gate guards doing? Didn't they even notice Ms. Sylvia passing by?"

"I, I thought so too... But, I have already checked it. And..."

Douglas's face turned pale, and the soldier was so scared that he stuttered.

Sylvia tried to leave the capital through the city gate, but the gate guard shook his head and refused to let her in. It is said that the guard insisted on not being threatened or intimidated by any means.

However, this was expected for Sylvia, and she calmly took out a letter, which was an official "permit to go out" issued by the king himself.

When leaving the capital, any member of the royal family, including the royal family, could not pass through the city gates without this letter. Without the official seal of the royal crest, it would not be considered an official document, making it almost impossible to forge.

The guards at the city gate repeatedly checked the letter Sylvia presented and only let her pass after confirming that it was correct. Hearing this, Douglas was confused because he could not understand what was happening.

"What's going on... No matter what, we must go and confirm with the king!"

Douglas took Russell and Oliver to the king's bedroom and questioned the king with a serious expression, while the king looked puzzled.

"I gave Sylvia a permit to go out? What kind of stupid things are you talking about? Even for my daughter, I wouldn't easily...wait?"

The king suddenly changed the subject and his expression stiffened, which made the atmosphere even more tense. At the same time, the queen sitting next to him smiled brightly.

“You seem to have some memories, don’t you?”

"Wait! Yes, I gave her a pass, but that was about ten years ago! I haven't remembered to allow her out in recent years!"

“About this…”

The king felt that he was in danger and was trying to explain himself when the soldier who had previously reported to Daglath supplemented the words of the city gate guard.

The king covered his face and looked up at the sky, while the queen and the ministers sighed with disdain. Douglas stood there with his mouth wide open, looking at the soldiers with silent accusations, and the soldiers just nodded silently.

Melny stood beside the minister with a wry smile on her face. She really couldn't think of what to say. Russell and Oliver smiled at each other, as if to say "I see", and began to summarize the conversation just now.

“In short, the license was granted without a set period. As she was busy with official duties and studies, she had no free time to use it.”

"And that indefinite permit was signed by the king himself. So the city gate guards had no choice but to obey. Denying it would be tantamount to violating the king's will. It seems that the city gate guards cannot be blamed."

"…King, I must say this time they are right."

"Ah, I know. You've worked hard, too. Go back and wait."

After the soldier left the king's room, the king bowed his head again. Russell tilted his head and smiled slightly, while Oliver looked up at the ceiling, looking thoughtful.

"But why did the princess go to the southern forest? Is there anything special there?"

"Well...if you must say, there is a temple there..." Daglas' words caused Melni to suddenly have a slight reaction, but no one noticed.
