YGDA Ch 25 Part A

Chapter 25 – To the Other Capital and The God’s Anguish



Renya party agrees to accept the prince request unanimously. They use the last of their time in the capital preparing for their long trip to the neighborhood kingdom capital.

Especially so for Therese as this will going to be her first long trip. But because she had experience in doing fieldwork all three years in the academy, she should be fine with it and preparation gets done without much trouble.

In between the long trip preparations, Therese and her friends finally had their graduation ceremony and successfully graduate. The season is now spring. It was a perfectly fit season for sending out the young chicks out from their nest.

After the graduation, Doris and Rudy went to the warrior guild to become an apprentice there while Russel went to the alchemist guild. Of course, he would become an apprentice too.

By using the guild network, the three friends promise to each other to keep in contact and to come flying by immediately if Therese had troubles in the future.

With a bit tears welling up her eyes, Therese can only says thank you to her friend kindness. Her smile that blossomed happily made Renya feel all warm inside.


And then after a few days passed, at last the time to go to Rugartis together with the prince group has come. Renya party joined them disguised as one of the escorting party.

They passed the castle near the border, climb up and down the gentle slope on the mountain road, and then passed the castle that is belonged to Rugartis side.

The weather is good, and there are no obstacles that disturb them along the way. Their trip went too well that make it seems to be too easy.

Of course they don’t slack around with that fact and keep on watching in case any attacks would come but they don’t meet even one attack along the way.

Renya can’t help but to think it was weird but then Gerard explained it to him.


“It simple you know? The one who wants me dead surely wants to start a war. Well, killing me now on the way like this then spread bullshit might calls for animosity but right now there are no one in Sirkaberia that highly support war so it might end differently from the way those warmonger wants. If they going to do it then they will do it in a way that will 100% cause a war. Of course if it was failed then it would be meaningless so they also want it to have a high possibility to success too. Thinking about it that way, having me inside Rugartis Capital is like a god send to them. They even can fabricate truth into something like: because the princess decided to cut the engagement, the stupid prince then went crazy and killed the princess. See? It was easy right? That’s why they would not attack now”


They talk about such sinister things when having lunch like it was just a laughable idle talk. But Renya understand the main point of it now so he can’t rebuke him too much.

The travel to Rugartia, the capital of Rugartis Kingdom, is said to take 1 week time normally with a cart.

If they use the road along the mountain, that traveling time can be shorten a bit but to keep in the safe side, they use the road that have unobstructed view so they can scout their surrounding easily. They will also stop by the cities on their way to stay the night and restock if necessary for it was safer to stay in a city rather than camping out in the wild.

Within that time they travel, Renya party get to deepen their relationship with Gerard.

Of course everyone in Renya party tells Gerard about their origins.

Renya and Floria will keep their origins a secret for now thought.

Surprisingly Gerard didn’t even get disturbed when he heard about Elvira’s origin whom is a dragon and just accept it like that.


“Renya, you really have a well-diversified harem line up there. What kind of thing did you do to enable you to get them all to accept you? I really find it amazing you know? My opinion about you just keeps getting higher and higher!”


Far from disturbed, Gerard laughs heartily, enjoying his talks with Renya party. It was Renya party side instead who get disturbed by him. They think that Gerard is even more amazing for being able to laugh casually at things like this.


“How about you prince? Don’t you also need concubines to solve the matter regarding to your heir to the throne? But why I never hear about one?”


Floria suddenly strikes back with a deep topic! But in the face of this, Gerard only, again, laughs heartily.


“Well then if it was about my heir then I only need to do my best until they born. That is all there is for me. This is private but the girl that I fallen for is totally cute but is also a bit complex you know. If I were to start taking in concubines she might logically understand that it was one of our duty as a royalty. But even if she understands that with her head, she will definitely be angry and pout all the time from jealousy for at least half a year. In which of course, will make me as her main target to vent her anger so I have to be prepared for that. If I can have one wish, I definitely would ask for my 1st child to be a boy so my troubles regarding my heir can be cleared soon”


And Gerard replies Floria question again with a grand manner like usual. This prince really is easy to get along with.

Successor sure is a big problem that will eternally follows around those who have noble bloodline. Even most marriage basically ignores the feeling of the party related. Just in the effort to continuing their ‘noble blood’.


“Don’t you worry about me. When things get wrapped up nicely and peace comes at last, I can at last focus all my mind and work hard so I can have my successor quickly. By the way, Renya, what about your proficiency related to the ‘sword’ that is used at night?”
“Oioi, in this kind of situation where danger might come anytime what kind of topic did you bring up”
“You stupid! Being able to see the girls’ blushing face from this kind of indecent talk is like a reward to keep us spirited in this kind of dangerous situation. Am I wrong!?”
“I can only agree to that!”


Renya and Gerard, this two stupid people are again exchange strong handshake with each other. With this pathetic side of Renya which 100% agrees with what Gerard says just earlier, Floria keep smiling brightly, Elvira keep her gentle smile, Therese tilted her head because she don’t understand, and Brenda can only heaves a sigh.  It is too bad but in Renya party, there aren’t any innocent hearted girls who will blush her face out with such indecent talk.

With that kind of calm atmosphere keep on enveloping their caravan, their travel continues smoothly without meeting any attacks.

But even if they don’t get any attacks from human, there are still monster that block their path from time to time. The reason is unclear but the monster in Rugartis Kingdom is more ferocious that those that in Sirkaberia Kingdom. Rugartis Kingdom also has wide mountainous area which make beast type monster appears often. Their caravan which consists of several human is only seen as a heap of food in those monsters eye.

A pack of giant wolf type monster attacks the caravan several times but all of those monster attacks were splendidly countered back. Renya party also takes a big role in countering the monster.
Renya with his sword.
Floria with her martial arts.
Brenda with her magic.
Elvira with her halberd.
and Therese… with her gun.

In this world, gun is not yet something that is recognized commonly as a weapon. If asked why it was because the gun here is not something like in Renya previous world where it uses bullet filled with gunpowder to shoot out the metallic head as a projectile. In this world, a gun is widely known as a magic tool to condense and shot out the magic power owned by its user. Most people know gun as a simple weapon to protect oneself. Of course it was one of the products of magic technology. It was designed so that even a weak person, who of course at least can lift a gun, can use it to protect themselves. It was also small in size so it has a high mobility. But because with the currect level of technology, creating one is costly and mass producing is still a far-fetched dream so the price is not something an ordinary people could casually buy.

What about the opinion from the wanderer or those who work mainly consist of fighting? Their answer is also not that positive either.

Gun is, in the end, meant for self-protection. Meaning that it firepower isn’t that high. Even if its mana cost are more efficient than other projectile based weapons because it was simply just converting mana into bullet, it still need maintenance from time to time. And that maintenance is also quite troublesome without the necessary knowledge. For wanderer and fighting oriented work that doesn’t know when danger would befall them, gun is a little bit unreliable because of such reasons.

But then again, that kind of trouble in the end only happens to the masses.

The gun that Therese uses is something that she got in her school days. It was given to her when she finishes a job given to her by the guild. And Therese was able to understand the structure of the gun that she was able to imagine how she could improve her gun with ease.

As a product of magic technology, that gun can be used by everyone unlike a magic item. But in case of Therese’s gun, it has passed many times of remodeling that it has become a gun that is exclusively can be used by Therese only.

It has a function to adjust the firepower by regulating the amount of mana it condenses.
It has a function to enchant the bullet with elemental power by means of magic.
It has an improved rate of fire so the rapid fire speed is faster compared to the common guns.
Etc, etc.

 Renya was surprised when he first hear about Therese gun. It was already something that no normal mere student could achieve. In fact, the sight of the small bodied Therese with that silver gun in one hand is already weird, the sight of her repulsing monsters with that gun from a safe distance is too surreal. Witnessing such surreal sight made Renya realize that the fact of Therese and Doris fight the Ordought sect raid together until their last is not a made up story at all.

And above it all,


“Thank you for finding my gun nanodesu!”


Therese happily expressed her thankfulness while rubbing her cheeks to her gun. That sigh made some people shrink back due to its weirdness but to Renya, he found that Therese’s mecha-fetish as cute and just let it slide like that. Renya that can feel such thing really is ‘as to be expected’.

Their travel until the capital only had that kind of troubles so they somehow felt disappointed. Under that feeling they easily pass the gate and set foot in Rugartis Kingdom’s capital, Rugartia.
