Day 531-540/Day 537

Day 537 / 67th day
Today, just as the old apostle had informed me, the sky was clear and blue from the morning.
　Since I had already said goodbye to the old apostle yesterday, I straddled the silver gray wolf, which was full of energy from sleeping in the inn's animal shelter all day, and ran across the land illuminated by the morning sun. With a feeling of exhilaration as if I had become the wind, the scenery passed behind me at high speed.
　There was nothing to say about the journey home. The Ash-Silver Wolf is much faster than the Golemkrat, and has the mobility to traverse the wasteland without any problems. In addition, the high fighting ability of the gray wolf, which can kill monsters instantly even if they are in its direction, was greatly demonstrated in the "Thunderstorm Meadow" on the way. In the past, he had defeated and eaten a black cow-shaped monster the size of a golem truck, but it was dismantled by the claws and fangs of Silver Wolf, who approached at high speed. I also hunted down other monsters that were nearby, and in less than an hour, I had a mountain of results. Of course, I thankfully collected them, and continued on my way home. As the familiar scenery passed me by, I knew I was getting closer to my destination.
　Somehow, I felt as if I was driving on a local road on the way there, and on the way back, I was driving on an expressway. The somewhat lengthy journey was now progressing in the shortest possible distance, and at the current pace, we would arrive at the "Free Trade City of Sectriad" by nightfall.
　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it. I've been thinking about my plans for the future while I'm chomping down on the leg meat of the horse monster that the gray wolf killed.
　At any rate, when I return, I'll confirm the details of my duties and distribute the souvenirs. In addition to the three pillars that have been defeated, the closest thing to an area raid boss that has been confirmed to exist is the 【Area Raid Boss】--the ancient past causal time emperor chosen by the 【God of History】, "Histoclock". We need to do this and that.
But can I win in my current state?
I've already decided to take on the challenge, but I'm a little nervous about that.
It would be nice if I could train a little somewhere.
By the way, I was able to return home at night as expected, but the anteater boys were wary of me because I had become a black kobold king.
I took out my vermillion spear and golemkrat, and had to identify myself with the password I had decided on.
Let's drink some sake and forget about the useless hardship.

“六十七日目　／　五■三■七■目”
今日は使徒老人の情報通り、朝から青空が広がる快晴となった。
　使徒老人との別れも昨日で済ませているので、ずっと宿の獣舎で寝ていた為か元気が有り余っている灰銀狼に跨り、朝日に照らされる大地を駆ける。
　まるで風となったかのような爽快感と共に、景色は高速で後方へと過ぎ去っていった。
　帰路は特に語る事も無い。
　灰銀狼はゴーレムクラートよりも遥かに速く、荒れ地でも何ら問題なく踏破していく機動性がある。
　それにモンスターが進行方向に居ても瞬殺してしまう灰銀狼の高い戦闘能力は、途中の≪雷雨草原≫でも大いに発揮された。
　前来た時に討伐して喰ったゴーレムトラックのような大きさの黒い牛型モンスターがまた居たのだが、高速で近づいた灰銀狼の爪牙によって呆気なく解体された。
　その他にも近くに居たモンスターを狩りまくったが、合わせても一時間と経っていないのに戦果の山が築かれている。
　もちろん有難く回収し、帰路を進んだ。見た覚えのある風景が過ぎ去り、目的地に近づいているのが分かる。
　何となくだが行く時は地道を走り、帰りは高速道路を走って帰っているような感覚がした。
　多少長かった道程は最短距離で進み、今のペースなら夜には≪自由商都セクトリアード≫に到着するだろう。
　ある程度方向を示すだけで勝手に進んでくれるので、特にやる事もない。
　灰銀狼が仕留めた馬系モンスターの足肉を齧りつつ、今後の予定を考える。
　とりあえず、帰ったら業務内容の確認をして、お土産の配布をする。
　それから、討伐された三柱以外の残りで最も近くに存在が確認されている【エリアレイドボス】――【歴史の神】に選ばれた古代過去因果時帝“ヒストクロック”に挑む為の準備もあれこれ必要だ。
しかし、今の状態で勝てるだろうか。
挑むのは確定しているが、その辺りは少し不安である。
少し何処かで鍛錬できれば良いのだが。
ちなみに夜には予想通り帰る事が出来たが、黒小鬼王になっていたせいで蟻人少年達には警戒されてしまった。
朱槍とゴーレムクラートを取り出し、決めていた合言葉で本人確認する事になった。
無駄な苦労は酒を飲んで忘れるとしよう。
