Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 1722 Kentucky's Arrival

　　"Let me see... the country where Ume came from was called Astonkay, in the Wesglo Region of this continent." As he muttered this to himself, Kentucky could not help but look in a certain direction as he saw a few experts were coming his way. Then again, that was the normal response when one forcefully opened a passage into another continent. It could be felt by the high-level experts of that continent, and they would quickly come to check. Kentucky had passed through this many times already on his way here.

　　"Who are you? Why did you enter our continent? Who opened the barrier for you?" asked an old woman, ready to kill Kentucky if the answer didn't satisfy her.

　　Kentucky then took his Jhiod Sect badge out as he replied, "I'm a disciple of the Jhiod Sect. I'm on a mission to check the area where a Minokawa appeared in the past. This is also an official visit." Philip told Kentucky to use those words as he imbued Kentucky's badge with his aura. The experts of the Vulrasic Continent would understand that it was the real deal.

　　The old woman was taken aback when she saw that badge. How could she not remember it? Back when that Minokawa appeared, she was here. The Jhiod Sect came to check the place but ultimately left empty-handed. The experts of her Vulrasic Continent couldn't really stop that since the level was just too different. Besides, the Jhiod Sect at that time kept their word and did not intervene in any of the affairs of the Vulrasic Continent, so it was quite a peaceful and short interaction. "The Jhiod Sect? Again? Why would they want to look at that place?"

　　Kentucky shook his head in response. "I don't know. I'm only here to check that. From what the Yume Clan Leader, Philip, said, I could use this Jhiod Sect badge to be granted passage in this continent."

　　The old woman then waved her hand before Kentucky's badge disappeared right in front of his eyes. He wasn't surprised by that, though. He knew she used her control over space to teleport the badge to her hand instead, even if he couldn't see it.

　　"Hmm... seems like the real thing..." The woman looked back at Kentucky again after that. "You seem to be a demon beast. Could you have some connection with that Minokawa? That's quite a rare race to find in a place like this."

　　Kentucky nodded, saying, "I'm a Minokawa myself." Kentucky wasn't worried about revealing his identity since the Jhiod Sect knew he came to this place. Obviously, the woman knew that as well. If something were to happen to a disciple of the Jhiod Sect when he was on an official visit to Vulrasic Continent, things would turn awry for them.

　　The old woman then threw the badge back to Kentucky before saying, "You can pass. However, remember that our agreement with Jhiod is that you will not meddle in the affairs of our Vulrasic Continent. If you break this rule, then you will be killed even if you're from the Jhiod Sect."

　　Kentucky put the badge away and nodded in response. "I wouldn't do such an idiotic action. Although the Jhiod Sect is strong, it's still a continent quite far away from this place. I would rather not stir up any trouble with the locals."ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.nᴇt

　　"That's good to hear," said the woman after that. "Everyone, you can head back." Soon after, the experts all left while using their own control over space. Only the old woman was left behind, together with Kentucky. "You will find a city around 2000 kilometers southeast of this place. Just head to the Formation Guild and take a teleport. Obviously, you will have to pay for it."

　　Kentucky smiled in response as he returned to his Minokawa form. After all, he could fly much faster that way. "Thank you, lady."

　　"Also..." However, after seeing Kentucky's real form, 

　　the old woman couldn't help but stop him.

　　Kentucky looked at her expression and could tell what she wanted. "Hahaha! If you want to touch me, feel free to do so. I'm a friend of all females in existence, may they be young or old."

　　The old woman was taken aback for a moment but couldn't resist in the end. Sure enough, Kentucky was still a lady killer. The old woman hugged the huge Minokawa for quite a few minutes and seemed delighted in doing so. However, she finally recovered her demeanor after that. "Ahem... that's all for now. You can go."

　　Kentucky nodded and immediately flapped his wings, quickly disappearing in the distance.

　　As for the old woman, she didn't know what had happened to her. 'So weird... he looks very much like the Minokawa from all those years ago. However, why did I feel so attracted to him? The previous Minokawa didn't give me the same urge at all.'

　　She then looked at her hands and couldn't help but remember her actions just a minute ago. It really felt extremely good to hug Kentucky. 'Hehe! Perhaps when he decides to leave, he'll come this way. I guess I will stick around for some time, just in case.'

　　Kentucky didn't know what went on in the old woman's head. After all, he only wanted to get to the country where Ume first appeared. As the old woman mentioned, there really was a city 2000 kilometers later. Kentucky quickly entered it through the skies and reverted to his human form. This was a corner city of the continent, so demon beasts of his level were obviously treated with a lot of respect.

　　Kentucky then paid the Divine Stones necessary and used a long-distance teleport formation. He only had three years and a half remaining, after all. Well, that was the time Rean said he would wait. If Rean didn't hear from Kentucky until then, he would come here to check things himself.

　　Around two days later, Kentucky finally arrived in Wesglo Region, followed by Astonkay Country.

　　*Tum-tump, tum-tump, tum-tump...*

　　As soon as he left the teleport formation, Kentucky felt his heart hasten in beating. "This... what's happening here?"
