"I'm sorry... Myria... Haruto... but... I will save Scarlet on my own... This was my fault..."
As I left the royal castle, I felt my heart being crushed as I left in under the cloak of the night...
But that had been 3 days ago by now...
I was able to arrive at the 'Ellian desert' once again in that much time without much help or guidance... Now I know we had previously made it here in just a day and a half, but I still felt proud to get here on my own...
Even if I had paid some carriage driver to get me here... after getting lost just outside of Litherm's main entrance...
'THE SHAME!!!'
Of course, during all of this time, I had been missing both Myria and... reluctantly... Haruto... but...
'I need to save Scarlet...'
That single thought was what was basically driving all of this strange adventure I was currently going through...
...
...
...
Anyways... I was able to get the carriage driver to drop me off at the same village we took our night's rest last time we were here.
I thought that this town being so close to the demon territory would know where the threats would exactly come from... but oh-so-innocent me!
Nobody wanted to signal me where the demon territory was...
They townspeople had legitimately underestimated my strength just because I'm a girl...
"Oh sweety〜 You don't need to risk yourself〜" -Townsperson 1
"Little girl there is no point in sending a beauty such as you to the war would be a waste〜" -Townsperson 2
"You really shouldn't be doing things like these〜 What would your parents think?" -Townsperson 3
"Oh, this world is doomed... If it has come to a point where even a frail girl wants to enroll in the war..." -Townsperson 4
I was quite irritated by all of these comments... but my frustration immediately melted away...
...
...
...
Their reactions to seeing my guild card were way too funny for me...
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH?!?!" -Townsperson 1
"... Appearances to fool most people don't they...?" -Townsperson 2
"How... did... you...?!?!" -Townsperson 3
"..." -Fainted townsperson 4
In the end, only after proving myself, a reluctant old man FINALLY indicated to me the way to the desert's center... yet due to his age combined with the surprise of seeing a young girl being an S-ranked adventurer almost sent him to the other side through cardiac arrest...
...
'I swear... I'm going to kill somebody out of shock one of these days...'
But, after barely surviving the false alarm, the old man finally gave me directions to the desert's oasis...
But I really am clueless...
"Umm, sir?"
The old man turned to me as he was still trying to catch his breath... But I guess that may have been a bad choice because as soon as he asked me what else did I need...
