As I went downstairs, I saw my mother ticking a list on a sheet of paper in her hand. Next to her, was Aunt Odalis placing assorted objects on the ground with the help of her eldest daughter Amalia.
Standing to the side, in warrior clothes, was Ragna following the list and pointing to so objects on the ground.
From the mont I got to the stairs, I could already hear Mom and Ragna’s voice, and my face went dark just when I heard words like stove, heater, portable bed, and other appliances.
"Mom, is this necessary? I’m just going on a short mission to a town that’s close to the Capital..."
"How close, Blue Crystal Grass Village is two days away by carriage of One-Horned Red Horses. Amalia, are sunscreen creams for protection in nature with insect repellent?"
"Aunt Miroslava. Yes, I brought the best samples from the lab. It is for family use and not for sale type"
"Good~ Rember that little Vremya is attacked a lot by silver-winged long-legged mosquitoes, mosquitoes always leave red marks on his skin. He can’t go out without wearing repellent creams. And his skin turns red if he spends too much ti in the sun..."
Suddenly, my skin started to itch...
"Mm! Aunt Miroslava, all the creams and lotions as well as dicines and antidotes have been packed in the dicine cabinet!"
"Sister Odalis, do the life artifacts have new white crystal coins? It doesn’t look like it, but little Vremya always wears the devices longer than he should, and he runs out of crystal coins very quickly..."
Why do I feel like Mom is indirectly scolding for my excessive energy consumption?
"Miros, don’t worry, all crystal coin slots have been changed and checked, a blue crystal card was also placed so that little Master can mine more crystal coins if necessary."
"Ragna, help load the kitchen appliances and place them inside the suitcase."
"Mm! Aunt Miros, I have already packed kitchen artifacts as well as health care artifacts, household artifacts as well as attack and defense artifacts, but do I need to carry other copies?"
"Yes, rember, it’s never enough and you should always be prepared for ergencies!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Mom started giving orders and looking at her list of items.
After Mom ignored , I could only stand by the side of the stairs as Ragna stuffed things into a white trunk that seed to be made of jade and precious stones.
While Mom continued to go through the list in her hands and looked at the objects around her.
There were a few parts with pillows, bedding, bed, chairs, sofas, tables, coffee tables. There are also a few leather suitcases that are labeled as: underwear, shoes, blouses and skirts, dresses.
There are also jade suitcases with herbs, dicines such as potions, and pills. Artifacts such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, daggers, and small shields.
Those jewel-like objects are actually defensive and attack, and auxiliary artifacts. I have seen them and even played with them under Mom’s supervision. Who taught how to use them, how to activate them and how to direct the effects, whether they are attack effects or defense or support effects.
And all this is fine, the school strongly recomnds using these objects and carrying everything you need for when you are going to spend a long or indeterminate ti in nature.
But what makes my face darken is that all this stuff that Mom is packing is like a family is moving to another country!
Why do I need to carry a whole wardrobe with clothes!?
And why is mom sticking a chimney into the traveler’s trunk!?!?
If I wasn’t seeing Mom here, I’d think she’d packed herself into my travel backpack!!!
Look away from the group of won packing things and look at the map on a table. Mom had already mapped out the route, the destination, as well as landmarks and notes showing what and where to pay attention to certain dangers.
The map is not large, nor does it encompass the entire human kingdom, much less the continent or the planet as a whole. It’s just a map taking the imperial capital as its center with a week-long radius of Red Horn Horses wagon ride.
The speed of this breed of horse, although not the best, is good, and this improves by having a lot of endurance, making its trot can be maintained for a long period of ti without rest.
Although breeding this species isn’t as complicated as that of other beasts, it still relies heavily on high-energy magical herbs to maintain the calorie intake of these One-Horned Red Horses.
In this half school year, I have calculated the distance it takes us to get to the Academy from ho is 30 to 35 minutes of my ti which would be 15 minutes of the ti asurent thod of this world. Vasi normally drives the magic combustion vehicle between 60 and 70 kiloters per hour on the main avenues of the City. Which led to the conclusion that the distance traveled is approximately 30 kiloters traveling in one way: _I that in a direct diagonal that goes from ho to the academy it would be about 20 kiloters.
The Imperial City is big...
The wagon pulled by the two Red Horses of a Horn driven by Thea took three tis the ti of the vehicle driven by Vasi.
So taking all this data, the town of Blue Crystal Grass is two days away, which is the sa 420 kiloters away. Since the travel plan is that the horses travel without stopping for 12 hours, or six hours of this world, and rest the other 12 hours, this in two days.
Obviously, it would be better if we traveled 16 hours, we could get there earlier, but it is not recomnded to travel after dark. And in nature, it really gets as dark as if a black veil covered our eyes.
On the map, Mom had already written down the travel points and the rest point, or rather, two rest points, according to Mom’s notes and calculations, we will not arrive before nightfall on the second day of the trip.
This is sothing I hadn’t considered. I unconsciously placed my arms crossed with one hand on my chin, thinking. One could quicken one’s pace, or travel a distance after dark, but this would not be correct and is not recomnded in the teachings of the Academy.
Professor Rudelle told us that it is better to be late than to never arrive at all. And if being late helps us rest, all the better!
It is only in tis of urgency that it will be decided to move forward at night. But this mission is not urgent.
In addition, the map marks areas of dicinal herbs as well as beasts and other things, on the way to the mission town, there are so herbs that are used for potions, which could take ti to collect. So, it seems right to camp two nights before arriving in town.
By the way, this map considers everything within a week’s travel radius to be close to the Imperial City. Only this town is two days away. So the radius of the map is approximately 1,680 kiloters.
This distance is like leaving -Madrid-, the capital of the country of the -Land of Rabbits- of my previous world to the city of -Linz- in the country of the -Land of Edelweiss-. A country loved by so and hated by more, the place where the world war bood on my forr planet of residence...
But that enormous distance, which runs through half of the continent of the -Broad Face- nad in honor of a Phoenician princess kidnapped by a perverted God of Thunder called Europa.
Only the distance of half a continent as a radius, with a diater of the entire continent, is called the vicinity of the Imperial Capital of the human kingdom?
So, how big is the Human Kingdom!? How big is the continent where the Human Kingdom and the Wood Elf Kingdom are?!?
How big is this world?!?!?
Despite everything, I got excellent grades in the mid-school history and geography exam~
"Brother Vremya, do you need to prepare breakfast for you?"
"Oh~ yes, help with breakfast, lunch boxes also need to be prepared..." Maia woke up from my state of geographical mathematical calculation...
"No need, daughter, little Master Vremya, breakfast is waiting for you in the dining room as well as packed lunch boxes for two days for all the mbers of your Party.
"Great, I’ll eat then, Maia help pack the lunch boxes in my backpack, ignore everyone else..."
"Mm! Brother Vremya~"
"Vremya! Bring a lunch box, I haven’t had breakfast yet~"
"Good morning, everyone, you got up very early... Ragna! What are you doing here?"
"Hey! Vasi, I have a Guardian Quest, I’ll take Vremya on his first Quest, isn’t that great!?"
Ragna stood very firmly, raising her chest, and in a Guard position. Her chin almost rises to the sky at a right vertical angle...
"Guardian Quest? Vremya’s first Quest? Why don’t I know anything about that? Mum? Vremya?"
I’m hungry, so I headed to the kitchen and ignored everyone. Taking Maia’s hand, I turned around and walked down the corridor to the dining room...
Back I heard the voices of Vasi and Mom, Vasi and Ragna, Vasi and Mom again... then the sound of trotting footsteps in my direction.
