Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 19.1

“Yeah, yeah. You look good in these clothes too.”

Mother says happily, but she also looks a little lonely.

As she adjusts my shirt collar, our eyes meet.

“Beryl-kun, you’ll be fine over there, right?”

“Yeah. I’m not a kid anymore, so I’ll be fine.”

“That’s right. Beryl-kun is smarter than anyone else. I’m sure you’ll be fine…”

“I’ll make sure to send letters to Pochi too.”

“Yeah.”

And then, next to Mother, I stroke the head of a girl who resembles Mother, her big tears welling up.

She pouts and looks up at me, but Sofia can’t help it.

“Ruan, from now on, you’re the one who will protect the family. Be strong. If you have any trouble, make sure to consult Gran.”

“Got it, big brother.”

Ruan and I shake hands, then we all leave the house together.

We slowly walk down the familiar road and arrive at the entrance.

“Hey, Beryl. Hah! That outfit suits a cocky guy like you!”

“Heh heh. Jealous, huh? Gran.”

“Who’s jealous!? Just go already!”

“Yeah, yeah. I’m going even without you telling me.”

“…Here.”

Gran hands me a small knife and a black whetstone.

“Isn’t this a cheap farewell gift?”

“Hey! It’s a top-quality item!”

“I see. Thanks, my friend.”

“You… you idiot…”

He’s really sentimental.

“If my little brother has any trouble, please consult me about anything. Counting on you. Feel free to come and play anytime~”

“Y-yeah…! Leave it to me!”

Other villagers who have become friendly also come to see us off, and after saying goodbye to everyone, we board Pochi and set off from the village.

Since we already said goodbye to Lady Evans yesterday, we head straight west.

We proceed straight west from Polopoko Village. Pochi is much faster than a horse, and since he can freely navigate through the forest, we easily pass through it.

After passing through the forest, we see a vast grassland similar to the Prayle Plains, with large mountains visible in the distance.

This is the Ruinal Grassland.

There are no strong magical beasts here; they are mostly weak.

By the way, in “World of Liberty,” this was one of the beginner-friendly maps. Furthermore, this was the hunting map I first visited in “World of Liberty.”

We cross the grassland straight west.

While heading in that direction, I continue to gather materials using Telekinesis Scythe.

I can sell them for money if something happens.

Pochi quickly passes through the grassland, which would take five hours on horseback, and arrives at a place where a large city is visible.

That place is known as “Beginning City Ruina.” When you start “World of Liberty,” beginners are randomly sent to one of four cities, and this is one of them. Of course, this is where I was sent.

“It feels nostalgic~ to have Ruina City so close by.”

After patting Pochi, I start running towards Ruina City again.

“Stop!”

“Yes?”

“Do you have a pass?”

“Here you go~”

I show the guard my pass at the entrance.

“This is from the Lord… You may pass.”

“Thank you. Take care~”

We pass through the gate and enter.

Since Pochi stands out, I leave him in my mind and walk alone.

Ah… it’s been a while since I’ve been alone…! It feels really familiar! Solo… the best~!

Recently, Lisa always accompanied me during hunting, and since Pochi became my familiar, we were always together.

But there are so many people here. In the game, it wasn’t very crowded as a beginner-friendly city. After all, who would come to such a beginner’s city at the end of the service when it was so deserted?

But now that I think about it, the people in this world are very weak in terms of strength. Farmers can only fight with weapons, they’re so weak.

Thinking about it, the beginner’s city might be the most comfortable city in the world.

I walk to the designated inn along the main street.

A big woman welcomes me, and when I say, “I’m Beryl,” she guides me to a certain room.

Inside, there is a slightly spacious room, and there are four knights sitting on the sofa.

“Long time no see~. I’m Beryl~”

“You’re here. Right on time.”
