I Can Speak with Animals and Demons - Chapter 30.3

Chapter 30.3

Spring of the year, I am twelve years old .

At last I decide to leave Asma Village .

I’m not going to the capital, so I’m not riding a carriage with my father like my brothers . I negotiated with merchants on my own and loaded my luggage .

Temporarily, I also serve as an escort, so it is free of charge, but this is probably to look after me .

In front of the recently completed castle gate, many villagers have gathered to see off .

“Jed, who was a child until this time, grew up …”

“Oh, I was worried because he was talking to nothing at first, but then he grew up and became an adventurer…”

Oh, did I have such a reputation after all?

“Please come back from time to time!”

“I’ll always be waiting . ”

I notice Rachel and Onoki in the crowd .

Now Rachel is a great healer and can cure most injuries .

She’s now a popular woman in the village . Many men have fallen in love with their attitude of treating them seriously, despite their sloppy attitude .

One could even say that .

And the animals rushed around when they heard I am leaving the village .

Mr . Kotori is a little scared because he stops at various houses and trees .

The villagers are surprised at this, but they act as if they haven’t seen anything .

『When I get lonely, I always hug you!』

How does a dog hug me?

『Let’s run around the meadow again when you come back . 』

『Oh, that’s great! That’s why Jed should come back!』

Nina appeared, Kangkichi and Carp are also brought by her .

Also, Tonkichi is in the background and is rushing to drag the farming tools and the driver .

『Ah! Read the air! It’s the day of my great friend Jed’s departure! It’s natural to see him off! Why should I plow the fields on such a day! Tsk, I’m pulling the reins! Carrots are also useless!』

Ah, Tonkichi is still as usual .

The goblins, orcs, and ogres had a farewell party because they couldn’t come down to the village .

At that time, I was worried because the goblins were grinning .

Is it that nice to be separated from me? I’m a little hurt .

I look at everyone as I hear them say goodbye .

Asuma village has grown . When I was born, it was so small and quiet .

When I come back next time, it will be a city .

My sister Julia is there too .

“Are you leaving soon?”

“Yes, sorry for making you wait a long time . ”

The merchant responds with a smile and then enters the carriage .

And finally, my dad calls out .

“Jedo! I think your strength is fine, but don’t die!”

“Return with an interesting story . At that time, it will be a city here . ”

“Jed~~! Don’t forget to send us letters! Dont become out of tough like your useless brother Gillion! Don’t stay up late, and sleep well! And if you have a girlfriend, will you bring her to me properly? Absolutely!?”

At my mother’s overprotective words, the villagers, animals and everyone laugh .

Mom, I’m a little embarrassed, I want you to stop .

However, I’m so happy, I can’t tell her that .

“I know!”

I turn around and respond with a loud voice, even though my face is red .

And then I got into the carriage, hiding my red face .

Somehow, thanks to my mother, I’m able to leave whilst laughing .

If you didn’t come, I might have cried .

“I will leave, ok?”

“Yes, please . ”

Along with the voice of the coach driver, the whip cracks on a horse .

『Wow! Now my butt sounds nice!? Did you hear that?』

『It certainly sounds good . Isn’t that fat on it?』

No way, it’s being struck by a whip, but… What is this?

And then I left Asma village surrounded by the warm voices of people and animals .

『… Well, do you think it’s about time?』

『Jed might cry because he’s lonely . Wait a minute . 』

『If he cries, let’s roll it . 』

『I’m looking forward to that time…』
