I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Chapter 1405 - Mysterious Letter ②

Now then, let’s go through the hints in order. First off, let’s look at the Tempest Dragons’ habitat…… According to the book, Tempest Dragons could be sighted throughout the Demon Realm, but not in the Human Realm.

In other words, the answer to Hint 1 would be the Demon Realm…… That would probably be where the sender of the letter is.

As for hint 2: “It’s not in the four directions.”, it was tucked in a book about the geography of the Demon Realm. The four directions are probably talking about the Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western Demon Realm, which should mean that it was in the Central Demon Realm.

However, the central part of the vast Demon Realm is quite large, so it’s difficult to narrow down the location just by this.

The next hint says “it’s not in the sky, but on the ground”…… tucked in a book talking about land-dwelling monsters. I guess I should simply think of this as meaning they’re a being that lives in the earth rather than the sky…… or perhaps, this might be implying that the sender doesn’t live in high locations such as mountains.

And as for hint 4, “It’s not within the forests, but out in the wilderness”…… This should mean there’s a large forest in the Central Demon Realm, most likely near Yggfresis, but this probably means that the sender isn’t from there. The Great Forest takes up about half the size of the Central Demon Realm, so I guess that considerably narrows down the possible answers.

As for hint 5, “It’s not above us, but down below”…… It was tucked in a titled “Stairs”. In other words, instead of climbing up those stairs, you climb down…… Does this mean the sender is someone who lives underground?

As for hint 6, “It’s neither to the left nor to the right, but behind us”…… It was tucked in a book that records various buildings. Hmmm, I’m not sure what this hint means…… Will I find out if I go there? In any case, let’s just head to the next hint.

The next hint says “it’s neither red nor white”…… tucked in a book about wines? Oya? This is…… In other words, is this what I think it is? Since it’s neither red wine nor wine, this hint would be pointing at rose wine…… Thinking of rose reminds me……

I heard about a Special Slime, one of Kuro’s family who guarded a dungeon that existed in the Forbidden Lands in the Central Demon Realm.

Ahh, it’s all coming together now. That letter was sent by Roze-san, and it probably means that they wanted to see me after hearing about me from their family. And from what I heard from Alice and the others, Roze-san couldn’t speak to others.

From Alice’s comment about “them working hard writing this”, they must have written that letter while looking at some kind of reference material. That’s why there were some strange parts in their sentences here and there.

That means, hint 8 talking about “the retainer holding the key that opens the door”…… which is tucked in a Maidology book, definitely refers to Ein-san.

And as for hint 9, “The Retainer’s location is different from the sender”…… A key is required to enter the place where Roze-san is, and that key is in Ein-san’s possession. After receiving it, I can head to the dungeon in the Forbidden Lands huh……

I feel better now that my question is answered. For the time being, just as hint 10 says, I’ll prepare something sweet and enquire about them.

Going to Kuro’s castle, I looked for Ein-san and found her immediately.

[If it isn’t Kaito-sama? Welcome. Thank you for taking care of me back in the Maid Olympia.]

[Ah, no, it was a pleasure.]

[So, how may I be of help today?]

[Yes, actually, I received this letter……]

I showed Ein-san the letter that I believe I received from Roze-san and explained to her what happened.

[I see, it certainly would be inevitable that that child will be interested in Kaito-sama. I understand the situation. Well then, please bring this to their dungeon.]

(T/N: I’m not sure how to translate this “that child’ part. “あの子/ano ko” could either mean “that child” or “she/her”.) Follow current s on novelenglish.net . Firᴇ(.)nᴇt

[This is…… a magic crystal?]

[Yes. After going into the entrance of the dungeon in the Forbidden Land…… If you hold this up to the magic circle behind the entrance gate of that dungeon, you will be able to teleport to Roze’s location.]

Ahh, I see. That’s why you would neither go left nor right in that dungeon, the pathway I should take would be behind the entrance gate of that dungeon……

[I understand. Thank you very much. By the way, what kind of person is Roze-san?]

[I think that among the members of our family that Kaito-sama knows…… Their personality would be the closest to Razelia. They’re an innocent and cheerful child. As they couldn’t speak, they express their emotions by moving their body around.]

I think that’s pretty cute. Hmmm, I’m looking forward to meeting them. Even though we’re talking about a Slime, it seems like Roze-san is a Special Slime, so I guess they’re different from normal Slimes? Including that aspect, I would like to meet them and find out what they’re like.

<Afterword>

【Serious-senpai is currently being defrosted.】

? ? ? : [Alright, it looks like she’ll be defrosted soon. Then…… I leave the rest to you.]

Doctor M : [You can count on me! My beloved child is an effective cure for all illnesses, so rest assured that she will be alright!!!]

Serious-senpai (currently being defrosted): [ ! ? ! ? ]
