Once Ryu’s room was decided, he immediately returned to his room in the Landmark territory using “Dimension Corridor”.
He wanted to report his safe arrival to his father, Farza.
He relocated the entrance previously set up at Viscountess Mamire’s place to this inn.
“Alright, done.”
With that, Ryu entered “Dimension Corridor” and moved.
As he did, he heard the “Voice of the World” in his mind.
<Dimension Corridor has reached its limit. The ability ‘Limit Break’ of Gokudo has surpassed this limit. The limit on travel distance and travel weight has increased. >
Ryu was surprised to hear the “Voice of the World” for the first time in a while, just as he arrived in his room.
“Eh!? Does that mean… Oh, I have to report to my father first!”
He hurried to the office and reported his safe arrival to his father, Farza.
“Oh! You’ve already arrived? That’s earlier than expected.”
Hearing Ryu’s report, Farza gave a wry smile.
“I see, that must have been tough. Count Torritter sent us a letter too, telling us not to get too cocky for a mere baron.”
“Oh, that letter!”
Ryu recalled it.
He hadn’t remembered the sender because he usually ignored such letters, but his father Farza remembered.
Incidentally, Farza had no recollection of being cocky, so he had replied, “Could you be mistaking me for another baron?” without knowing that it infuriated the other side greatly.
Ryu, knowing his father had sent a reply, understood the situation.
“Oh, so you provoked him, Dad…”
“Provoked? I did no such thing.”
Farza looked puzzled at Ryu’s accusation.
“Hahaha… Anyway, I informed you of my arrival. I have something else to report later, so I’ll come back after confirming it. Oh, Dad, there’s about a week until the exam. Can I proceed with the plan to advance to the royal capital during that time?”
“Foolish. First, focus on your studies. Leanne is here too, so prioritize studying.”
Getting scolded by his father, Ryu decided to comply obediently.
Indeed, he shouldn’t mix up his priorities right now.
“Alright. I’ll be going back then.”
Saying that, Ryu returned from his room to the royal capital.
“Oh, you’re back. Did you report?”
When he returned to the inn in the royal capital, Leanne was there.
Although the door had been locked, she was inside, thanks to her high-level thief and tracker skills.
Don’t unlock the door on your own!
Ryu was exasperated, but Leanne claimed she had thought something happened because there was no response when she called.
“Oh, right. Leanne, help me with an experiment.”
“An experiment? What are we doing!?”
Leanne, curious as ever, was immediately on board despite not knowing the details.
“Alright, hold my hand and we’ll enter ‘Dimension Corridor.'”
“Wait, ‘Dimension Corridor’ only allowed Hanna-chan through… Did you learn something new?”
“The ‘Voice of the World’ just told me it has ‘Limit Break,’ so I want to test it.”
“Really!? Awesome! If it works, we can go from here to the Landmark territory!”
Leanne was genuinely happy. The thought of avoiding long carriage rides was certainly exciting.
“Oh, I should call Sugo.”
Ryu then went to get Sugo from his room.
Soon, he returned with Sugo, ready to start the experiment.
“Okay, first, let’s see if I can return to the Landmark territory with Leanne.”
As Ryu said this, Sugo finally understood why he had been brought along.
Ryu and Leanne held hands and disappeared.
“Wow! The young master is amazing!”
As Sugo marveled, Ryu and Leanne reappeared, still holding hands.
“Alright, it worked!”
Ryu rejoiced.
“Next, Sugo.”
“Understood!”
Sugo replied, and holding Ryu’s hand, they moved from the inn room to a familiar room.
“…This is Master Ryu’s room!”
Sugo was astonished by his first experience with “Dimension Corridor”.
It was completely different from watching someone else do it.
“Now, let’s go back.”
“This is very convenient!”
“Right? It takes a fair amount of magic power, but it’s extremely useful.”
Ryu replied, and holding hands with Sugo, they returned to the inn in the royal capital.
“Since it worked with someone as large as Sugo, I’ll directly transport the coachmen and territorial guards on the way back!”
Ryu was overjoyed with the successful experiment.
“Don’t you need to test it with more people? So far, it’s only been me and Sugo, one at a time.”
“No, if it works with someone as large as Sugo, that’s enough. The important thing is that we can move one person at a time reliably. There’s no need to move many at once.”
Indeed, that made sense.
Leanne and Sugo both understood.
