Day 481-490/Day 489

Day 489 / The Nineteenth Day
In the dim hours before the sun began to rise, I made my way out of the underworld.
　The entrance and exit to the underworld seemed to be at the foot of a majestic mountain range, and the family of five who had seen me off quickly disappeared from sight due to the speed and the fact that the Golemkrat had traveled through a rugged area.
　From here, I was back to traveling alone.
　However, I gained a lot from the short time I spent with the family of five.
　I learned about the language they spoke, specialized knowledge of minerals, dangerous monsters I should know about, and a wide range of other information that would be useful in the future.
　In fact, if we didn't have information about our next destination, we would have had no idea where we were going.
　Even though the golem route would help us gain distance and save energy, it would be a good thing if we could avoid wasting time.
　So I let the Golemkrat run.
　The destination was in the sea of trees. It seemed to be a good distance away, so the first priority was to move ahead rather than explore the surroundings.
　On the way, his desire was stimulated by the delicious-looking wild vegetables, mushrooms, and monsters like deer and bear that dotted the road like a treasure house, but he held back.
　As we passed each other, we stopped to gather berries and other food, and moved forward with our frustration as our driving force.
　I can't wait to drink. With this desire in my heart.

　“十九日目”　／　“四■八■九■目”
　太陽が昇り始める前の薄暗い時間帯、俺は地下世界から外に出た。
　地下世界の出入り口は雄大な山脈の麓にあるらしく、見送ってくれた五人家族はゴーレムクラートが起伏の激しい地帯を進んだ事と、その速度からあっという間に見えなくなる。
　ここからは一人旅に逆戻りだ。
　しかし短い間だったが五人家族との交流で得るモノは多かった。
　使われる言語や専門的な鉱物の知識、知っておくべき危険なモンスターなど多岐に渡る情報は今後の役に立つ。
　実際、次の目的地の情報がなかったら、何処に向かえばいいのかあても無く走る事になっていただろう。
　ゴーレムクラートがあるので体力の消耗を抑え、距離を稼ぐ事が出来るとはいえ、無駄が省けるのなら儲けものだ。
　そうしてゴーレムクラートは走らせた。
　目的地は樹海の中にある。距離もそれなりにあるらしいので、まずは周囲の探索よりも先に進む事を優先する。
　道中では美味そうな山菜やキノコ、シカやクマのようなモンスターといった食材がまるで宝物殿のように点在するので欲望を刺激されたが、そこはグッと我慢した。
　すれ違い様に木の実などを採取して喰うに止め、不満を原動力に前に前にと進んで行った。
　早く酒が飲みたい。そんな欲望を胸に抱いて。
