Chapter 356: Ceremony Preparations 6


    My view changed in the blink of an eye.


    The Sanctuaryndscape changed into one with a vige that was still nostalgic yet had developed even more since the time I visited the second time.


    I teleported to Bohd Vige in between the busy hours preparing for the ceremony.


    Thest time I came here, it was when we had just taken guardianship of Akane and Lulu-chan, so we went to Bohd Vige to disappear from Volton just a little while. Now that I think about it,pared to that time, Akane had lost all her reservations. Since we’re pretty simr age-wise, it was probably like she was treating me like a brother.


    The walls and gate beyond the vige’s means came into view.


    Since it would be bad if I teleport right in front of the gate, I teleported a slight distance away from the vige, but I’m d no one was coincidentally passing through the main road.


    There were no visitors the first time I came into the care of Bohd Vige, but now, there were those who visited for various reasons, so I was lucky I wasn’t discovered teleporting. I have to be more careful.


    When I walked closer to Bohd Vige, I saw two security golems standing imposingly at either side of the gate. They seem to be working just fine.


    2.5m tall all-magic metal-made golem possessed enough strength to discourage those like thieves.


    When I reached the gate, there was someone who I’ve never seen in Bohd Vige standing there, and he called out, suspicious of me who had walked here by myself.


    「Oi! Did youe to this vige by yourself? What is your reason foring?」


    「Umm, I came here to meet some of my acquaintances, but……」


    I guess it was suspicious to be alone even as an adventurer. As I thought so, I presented my Adventurers Guild card.


    「Wha! Pardon my discourtesy. Wee to Bohd Vige.」


    「Thank you very much.」


    When the surprised gatekeeper who saw my rank saluted and let me through, I came to a halt as I was ovee with strong feelings at the sight of peopleing and going in the lively vige.


    The vige which had newly erected buildings was full of life.


    「Amazing…… can’t the small vige in the borders that was Bohd Vige now be called a town? 」


    Stopping to bask in the memories, I grew curious about the small cabin I stayed at, so I went to look for it.


    「Ohh! It’s still there!」


    The small cabin I built and stayed in was standing on a plot ofnd, unchanged. For some reason, only this ce was just like back then.


    I was looking at the hut when I heard a nostalgic voice from behind.


    「Oh my, isn’t that Takumi-chan!?」


    I turned around, and there was Martha-san carrying bags in one hand, perhapsing back from shopping.


    「Martha-san, I’m sorry for not having kept in co-<em>gofu</em>……」


    「Takumi-chan! I’m so d you look well!」


    In the middle of greeting her, I received a tackle-like embrace.


    「By the way, where are Sophia-chan, Maria-chan, and everyone else? It couldn’t be that you fought, now did you? I don’t see Kaede either. There are others, too right? Takumi-chan, did youe back by yourself?」


    「Wai- please wait a bit!」


    I had to stop Martha-san’s machine gun-like usatory inquiries, so she could hear my exnation.


    「Oh my, sorry about that. I was so excited seeing you, Takumi-chan. Let’s go home for now. Vanga would be delighted too.」


    「Okay then, sorry for the intrusion.」


    Since I came to Bohd Vige this time to give Vanga-san and Martha-san a written invitation, I obediently agreed and followed her.


    「Now,e in,e in. I’ll make you some tea.」


    「Thank you very much.」


    Vanga-san and Martha-san’s house which I hadn’t visited in a long time wasn’t rebuilt, but they did ce some fine carpeting and couch inside. It was proof that the once near-destitute Bohd Vige had be wealthy.


    After talking to Martha-san for a short while, we heard the door mmed open loudly, Vanga-san came back.


    「Martha! There was apparently someone who looked just like Takumi in the vige!」


    「Dear, your voice is too loud!」


    「That’s not it, Takumi is…… isn’t that Takumi?! Say it if you’reing back!」


    「Vanga-san, it’s been a while.」


    Vanga-san approached in long strides and hugged me, who had stood up to greet him, and patted me on the back.


    Vanga-san’s conveyed how he was truly happy to reunite with me through his hands, and I also smiled happily.


    Yep, Bohd Vige is great.


    I thought once more about how I’m so d that the first people I met sinceing to this world were the people from Bohd Vige.
