Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

Courtney decided to at least express her feelings to Xu Zhen and the others first: "Yes. It is exactly as Xu Zhen and Lati said. But I am hesitant. I don't want to be separated from...the friends I made for the first time."

"Well, I can understand Courtney's feelings, but to be honest, it's a bit difficult." Facing Courtney who expressed her emotions without hesitation, Xu Zhen answered calmly.

After being directly replied, Courtney became even more depressed. Although Xu Zhen didn't know exactly why he was depressed, he guessed that he might have said something discouraging.

Xu Zhen scratched his face awkwardly and said, "If we really have to separate, I will certainly feel lonely. But if Courtney seems to want to go, I certainly won't force it."

"Ah? I...seem eager to go?" Looking at Courtney with wide eyes, Xu Zhen showed a blank expression: "Why, isn't it? You seemed very excited when you talked about your dad and new mom."

"So... do I look happy talking...?"

"Yeah." Xu Zhen answered immediately, confusing Courtney. He was completely unconscious. It seemed that he himself didn't realize that he actually wanted to meet the person who would become his new mother as soon as possible. The more he tried to deny it, the more his inner voice told him that it was not the case.

Courtney felt she had made up her mind about Malgieri's answer.

But, will you not regret it after making a decision? He hesitated again and took another step back. He himself wondered why he was so indecisive.

Seeing him like this, Xu Zhen smiled bitterly and told him in a clear tone: "Wait for us in the Kingdom of Sforia first. We will definitely go there after we go to Lati's hometown."

“I agree with you, Master. Although it is true that you will feel lonely, I still hope that you can value the time you spend with your family.”

"Even if we break up, it doesn't change the fact that we are friends, right? I also hope... to always be friends with Courtney."

"Xu Zhen..."

Courtney said to the slightly shy Xu Zhen with tears in her eyes. Xu Zhen smiled bitterly and began to scratch his face again: "To be honest, I don't really know what is the correct way to get along as 'friends'."

Hearing this, Courtney also smiled bitterly: "Me too. Maybe even I don't realize how to deal with the relationship between friends."

"Yeah, me too. It's fun, that's all."

“Yes, that’s true.”

Courtney suddenly realized that she was laughing. Where did the pain she felt before go? She even began to wonder why she was so distressed before.

(Maybe... there's no need to think too complicated...)

While laughing with Xu Zhen, Courtney whispered in his heart. At the same time, the answer that he hesitated before became clear, and he decided to tell Xu Zhen and the others.

The moment they heard it, Xu Zhen and the monsters opened their eyes wide, but then they all accepted it with a smile. Then, in order to prepare for tomorrow, they got up and prepared to rest early.

After that, they quickly returned to the hotel, and Xu Zhen and the others fell into a deep sleep. Courtney's luggage was ready and they were ready to go.

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

"I see. You decided to come along."

The next morning, Courtney visited Margili and told him that they had decided to go to the Kingdom of Sforia together. The luggage was ready and they were ready to leave at any time.

As the bell rang, Malgili showed a happy expression for a moment, but soon looked a little tired, and said to Courtney: "I'm sorry for the rush, but I hope to leave the royal city immediately. Get on the carriage directly."

"Ah, leaving now?"

"Yes, a liaison came directly from there. They urged us to return quickly."

Behind Malgili, there was indeed a carriage ready. An elf youth smiled wryly, looking a little embarrassed, and kept bowing his head to express his gratitude. Next to him, a very strong-looking orc warrior bowed quietly.

It is very likely that this young elf is a liaison, and this orc warrior is their guard along the way.

Just as Courtney was thinking this, Malgili began to complain: "I can't even have a peaceful breakfast. What a shame. I asked the hostess of the hotel to prepare some simple breakfast, although it was a bit embarrassing for her. I must come back next time to thank her."

“Dad is really serious.”

“What are you talking about? This is how it should be.”

Courtney smiled wryly at his father's clear attitude. Then the father and son got into the carriage and sped toward the city gate.

It was still early, and there were almost no people on the street. The carriage passed through the street, and Courtney was thinking about Xu Zhen and the others while enjoying the cool morning air.

Maybe they will leave directly after saying goodbye. Courtney had such a hunch and said goodbye before going to bed last night. Xu Zhen and the others accepted this and promised again that they would meet in the Kingdom of Sforia.

They did not leave without saying goodbye, but in a sense it still felt unpleasant. Just as he was thinking this, he was about to pass the hotel where they stayed last night, at that moment.

"ah……"

Xu Zhen, Lati, Slakic, Loppel, the companions who had been traveling together were waving in the dormitory room. They didn't shout loudly, but just smiled and waved to Courtney desperately.

But this gesture filled Courtney's heart with warmth. Courtney smiled naturally and waved vigorously. Even after he walked completely past the hotel and arrived at the city gate, he did not stop waving.

“I wish you all a safe journey.”

With the gatekeeper watching, the carriage rushed out of the city gate and headed straight for the wilderness in the north. Because the road was not maintained, it was not comfortable to drive. In addition, the carriage was running at full speed, and they all tried their best not to bite their tongues.

"It seems you have made some good friends."

When Courtney looked up, Malgieri was stroking his head with a smile. It was a big, warm touch. Although his hands were a little rough from many battles, Courtney didn't mind.

On the contrary, he felt that these hands seemed to protect him from all harm and felt very reliable.

"It's still quite a distance to the Kingdom of Sforia. During this time, I will train you well. You must become stronger when we meet them next time." Malgili said in a slow and gentle tone.

Courtney suddenly felt tense. This could be considered a return to reality. They had agreed to go on adventures together in the future. They might encounter a large-scale battle. If he didn't have enough strength by then, he would only become a burden.

He didn't want to be left alone. Courtney had already prepared a response: "...Yes, no problem!" After receiving Courtney's firm answer, Malgili nodded happily.
