A New Life In Another World: Volume 2

Chapter 26: The Mad Dog

"Woohoo! This is awesome!" Thana cheered as we zoomed across the grassy plain on Desmond's motorcycle.

Once we got the quest and left the city, we headed to where our Hector's last known location was. According to the information on the quest, our Mad Dog was last seen somewhere in the Worgami Plains south of Bruemore City.

The quest said that the bandit leader's base could be located here because of how he frequents the area. So, we headed off to the plains, but as soon as we got far away from the city, Thana made a request.

"Can we ride that motor thing that's in the garage? Please!" Thana started begging me to bring out Desmond's motorcycle so we could ride through the plains on it.

I didn't see much of an issue accepting her request, so I opened up a portal and got the cycle out. Before you ask if I know how to ride it, I do.

During my month of working in Desmond's underground base, I tested out his vehicles, including the flying one. Surprisingly, out of all the vehicles I felt more comfortable with, it was the motorbike.

I don't know why, but it was really easy and fun to ride. I thought the bike would be the hardest thing to handle, but it wasn't.

Don't misunderstand me, though. I could drive the car, truck, and flying vehicle quite well, but the motorbike just felt better to me.

Anyway, after bringing out the bike, we trailed along the grassy plains in search of our target. What surprised me most about the motorcycle was how quiet and fast it was.

You know how when you start up a motorcycle and makes that revving noise? Well, this doesn't. It made a little low rumble sound, but other than that, it was just quiet.

It also seems that his rides run on mana which is stored in something called a Mana Tank. They're like cylinder capsules that you put in the place where you put gas in the vehicles.

Another thing to note is that Desmond named his vehicles. I didn't know about this until Emma told me about it while I was testing out his rides. The motorbike was Lawmaster; the Car was Bueller; his swat truck was Bunker, and his aircraft was Argo.

I was currently driving Lawmaster while Thana rode in the backseat behind me. Her arms were wrapped around my waist, and her chest was pressed against her back. Despite not having much in that area like Amy, I could still feel something.

"So, how are we going to find this bandit guy?" Thana asked.

"Already taken care of." Thank god for the [Map] skill. I had the skill constantly on while I kept searching for our quest target.

Also, I made sure to move the map screen on the corner of my field of vision so I could pay attention to the road-er plains. I didn't want to crash into a giant boulder or tree.

After a couple minutes of driving, my [Map] finally got a bead on our guy. He was located east of us, about a mile from where we were, so I took a right turn and drove straight toward the target.

We were getting close enough to our enemy, so I stopped the bike and opened up a portal to the garage to put it back there.

"Aw~ I wanted to ride it a little more." Thana started pouting that her motor ride was over.

"If you want to ride it again, we can while heading back to the city."

"Really?!" Her eyes began to sparkle as she grew more excited.

And so, I agreed to bring back Lawmaster after our quest was over. Again, I didn't see much of a reason to not use it, so I didn't mind.

"Alright, go into your sword form. It's time to start hunting," I said with a sinister smile.
