Chapter 114 – Southern Sea (1)

After summoning Rachel, we finished chatting and it was time to move on.

But one problem arose.

After arriving here in Fern, Noah and Rachel were summoned, and Cherry was added, so the number of people increased too much.

“Now that there are so many people, it’s hard to get everyone on Mine’s back.”

In order to move to the next location, Minersia was transformed into Jackie Chan, but when she tried to get on it, the number of people increased so much that it was difficult for everyone to get on Minersia.

The problem is that Renia can unite with the Spirit King and fly, but the rest cannot.

“Rachel, can you fly like Renia? Using magic.”

When my characters came to this world, they used their skills and used them in ways that I had not thought of.

I looked at Rachel, wondering if it might be possible since the Elemental Master is also a wizard after all.

I looked at her expectantly, but Rachel had an apologetic expression on her face, which made me uneasy.

“I’m sorry, master… I’d like to, but there’s no way I can fly in the air.”

Really… Why isn’t there aerial combat in Elyon?

If there had been aerial combat, there would have been natural flying skills.

“Then there is nothing we can do. Then how do we move?”

As the number of people increases, problems like this arise.

It would be nice to be able to use teleportation, but unfortunately, there is no such skill or system in Elion.

No, there is.

Elion can systematically use something similar to teleportation.

When a character is out in a dungeon, it is very inefficient in terms of time to run back to the village one by one.

That’s why you use the 〈Return〉 skill, which allows you to return to the village directly from outside the village.

The 〈 Return 〉 skill was very useful because it allowed you to specify the village you wanted to go to.

Can I use this here?

As I always use skills, I imagined skill 〈Return〉 being activated in my mind.

“Please select the village you wish to return to.”

This is it.

It seems like everything that can be used as a real game system comes out.

It makes you wonder if you can even create characters.

You can use the inventory, equip equipment, strengthen it, and recently use raid skills.

But now you can also use 〈 Return 〉 skills?

I feel like I have become a game character.

As soon as I found out that I could use the 〈Return〉 skill, I looked at the list of villages I would return to.

The names of the villages I visited when I came to this world appeared there.

Abboch Village, Turchen Castle, Brighton Castle, Arestel, Postrim, Fern.

This is also similar to a game system.

Elyondo 〈 Return 〉 skill did not allow access to all villages.

You can’t go to a village you’ve never been to, and only if you’ve arrived at least once, that village will appear on the return list.

If you look at the list of these villages, they are villages that I have been to more than once in this world.

Aboch Village is the village where I met Ellie.

When I think about that time, memories come flooding back.

If you look at the list of villages, it seems that small villages do not appear on the list.

Are there large villages marked on the map?

The unfortunate thing is that we can’t use the 〈 Return 〉 skill because we’ve never gone in the direction we’re currently moving.

And there are some things that are not yet available.

〈Return〉 Because I don’t know how it will work when I use the skill.

Usually in Elion, you control and move only one character, so I don’t know how it will work if I use the 〈 Return 〉 skill.

I am the only one who doesn’t know whether I should move to the village selected with the 〈 Return 〉 skill, or whether I should move together to move together.

I think it will be difficult to use this skill yet.

Since I can’t use it now, I thought I’d explain it to everyone later.

Ultimately, you have to rethink how you move.

“Since we can’t move it all at once, how about moving it in two parts?”

“Lien, it takes too much time to do that. It’s not efficient to take twice as long.”

While I was discovering and reading the 〈 Return 〉 skill, everyone was discussing their opinions on how to move.

“Then why don’t we just move the minimum number of people on land and take the Minercia with the rest?”

“In that case, only one person will be able to move by belt. When we went to this dungeon, we traveled through Minercia, including Noah, but after Rachel was added, the number of people exceeded the number.”

Is there any other way?

I thought about whether there was a better way, but nothing came to mind.

Then, you have no choice but to use the 〈Return〉 skill you just acquired.

While I was thinking, an opinion was going on in front of me.

“Then who needs to move separately?”

At Yuria’s question, there was a moment of silence.

As I looked around, they were exchanging glances and trying to figure out who would go separately.

He’s probably giving me this look because he doesn’t want to be separated from me.

“Hmm, first of all, I’m going to go with Jinu. I can fly alone instead of taking Minercia.”

While we were looking at each other, Lenia ran towards me, crossed her arms, and smiled pleasantly.

Everyone is looking at Lenia with her envious eyes.

As Renia said, there is no reason to send Renia separately when she can fly together.

Besides, I don’t want to leave the strongest Renia behind here.

“Then I’ll go with Jinu too! I have to take control of Mine!”

Yuria, seeing Renia, also ran towards me.

Should we take Renia and Yuria with us as essential items?

In that case, it would be better for me to decide who to go with among the rest.

It would be better than arguing about whether we should go together.

“Then I’ll decide who goes with me. Then everyone agrees, right?”

Everyone who heard me nodded their heads in agreement.

Excluding Renia and Yuria, the remaining members are five people: Ellie, Lien, Noah, Rachel, and Cherry.

I have to choose one of these…

If I had to choose one of these, honestly, there might be only one.

That’s cherry picking.

I don’t know where we are going now, but I think it’s right to take at least one more combatant.

In that case, it would be right for Cherry, who cannot fight at all, to be eliminated using the elimination method.

“Then I guess I’ll have to take out the cherry.”

“Huh? What do you mean, boss? How can I move by myself!”

Cherry, who heard what I said, was startled and ran towards me and clung to my leg.

“What if you abandon me, boss? If I wander around alone, I’ll be caught by bandits or monsters and killed! Hehe.”

Now, seeing Cherry crying and crying makes me feel sorry for her.

“Wait a minute Cherry, listen to me.”

“Huh, huh?”

I got on her knees and made eye contact with Cherry.

“When you guys were talking just now, a new skill came up that I can use.”

I explained about the 〈Return〉 skill that came out just now.

“You mean you have that kind of skill? You can travel long distances in an instant. That’s what Jinnu said, but it’s hard to believe.”

“Then it might be a good idea to experiment. Shall we go back near Perne for a moment?”

We left the forest and moved to the outskirts of Perne.

“Then I’ll use the 〈Return〉 skill. Um… Ellie, try holding hands with me. And Lien, try holding hands with Ellie.”

I held out my hand towards Ellie.

“Yes, Jinu.”

“Yes, my lord.”

And Ellie and Lien held each other’s hands.

“Then, let’s check whether the 〈 Return 〉 skill works properly and whether everyone moves together when they touch each other like this.”

So where should we go…

Should we go here?

I activated skill 〈Return〉 in my heart!

In an instant, I had a dizzying headache, and the scenery around me changed in an instant.

“Ugh, my head feels dizzy.”

“This is the 〈Return〉 skill.”

I could tell from the feel of my hand and the sound I had just heard that Ellie, who was holding my hand, had also moved.

So what about Lien?

I opened my eyes and turned my head to see Ellie and I moving together, holding hands.

“Looking at this, it’s exactly what I thought.”

“Ugh… My head hurts, but it’s bearable. Where am I?”

Lien asked me, holding her head and turning her head here and there.

“This is Brighton Castle.”

“Brighton Castle?”

Looking at our current location, it seemed like we were on the outskirts of Brighton Castle.

We walked around the outskirts of the castle and found the entrance.

There we saw a familiar door.

“You really moved to Brighton Castle. Jinu-sama’s power seems to be beyond imagination.”

“It seems worthy of you granting us authority.”

〈 Return 〉 The skill seems to have worked well.

“But it’s just a little disappointing that I can’t go to places I haven’t been to. Let’s go back to Fern first.”

After hearing what I said, Ellie and Lien nodded and held hands again.

After confirming that I was holding hands, I used skill 〈 Return 〉 back to Pern.

Shaking my head once again, I endured the pain and looked at the changed scenery.

Seeing that this is also the outskirts of Pern, it seems that if you use the 〈 Return 〉 skill, it will take you to the outskirts of that place.

Wouldn’t it be better than having someone suddenly appear in the middle of that place?

“You’re back in Perne.”

“Okay, then let’s go see everyone again.”

We slowly walked around the outskirts and were able to meet everyone who was waiting for us again.

“Jinu! I was surprised when you suddenly disappeared. Did the 〈 Return 〉 skill work well?”

“Yeah, it worked perfectly. Now I think we can go back to where we went with this.”

I nodded and spoke to Renia.

“Then… What should I do?”

“Cherry, you are staying in Pern for a while. I will come pick you up again when we get to the location we need to go and can use the 〈Return〉 skill.”

There is no need to move the cherry. All I have to do is leave it here and take it back.

“Oh, I see. Then I’ll continue to stay here at the dorm.”

I gave Cherry some money so she could stay at her place.

After receiving the money, Cherry waved at us and returned to Perne.

“Then shall we move too? Let’s quickly find the equipment.”

All of us, except Cherry, boarded the Minercia and started moving.
