Sent to Another World!

Chapter 16



“Sarina’s Child…”
Lucas found himself in a world of fantasy.
The child of his beloved granddaughter, a great-grandchild. Until this time, it seemed unrealistic. But since Sarina had arrived here with a man, this scene could become a reality in the years to come.
Moreover, since they had come seeking refuge, it wasn’t just a dream that they might settle in this town.
His retirement era could be filled with caring for and raising his great-grandchild…

“Yoshinobu, please, stay at our house.”
Lucas welcomed Yoshinobu.
“Mr. Lucas?”
“What, do you think I would have any complaints about the person Salina brought here?”
“Grandfather, do you really understand?”
“Of course, I understand. Indeed, just as Myrna said, we should build a house. I’ll make arrangements immediately.”
Lucas planned to build a house on the estate. He wanted to make the world with his great-grandchild a reality.

And so, we get taken care on the Lucas residence.
The construction of the house where we would live had also begun in the garden.

One day, Sarina and I were in Lucas’s room sorting through documents when the head clerk of the trading company burst in.
“Mr. Lucas, there is an emergency!”
“What’s wrong?”
“The ship sank in the storm!”
“What! Are the crew members okay?”
“No… many have become casualties.”
“… Let’s pray for their souls and arrange for condolence funds for their families.”

“Understood. However, there’s a problem. We loaded the spices planned for the banquet held by His Majesty the King on that ship. I feared there won’t be enough for the banquet.”

“That’s troublesome. Isn’t there any spice available from other trading companies nearby?”
“It seems that many other fleets also sank, and currently, there’s a shortage of spices.”
“In that case, we’ll have to send out another fleet.”
“But the sea route is currently dangerous, and it’s uncertain when it will settle…”
Lucas and the head clerk of the company started worrying without saying a word.

“Mr. Lucas, I’ll retrieve it. How far is it?” I asked.
“You must not underestimate the stormy sea, Yoshinobu. Plus, the round trip will take a month. It’s not an easy journey.”

The maritime technology in this world was akin to Earth’s Age of Exploration. There were only sailing ships, and they could reach a maximum speed of 30 kilometers per hour. The airship I could summon went at 400 kilometers per hour, which was over ten times faster. Even if the weather turned rough, we could avoid it.

“Leave it to me. But I don’t have the ability to ascertain the goods, so I’d like someone to accompany me.”
“I’ll go!”
The head clerk of the company, Masu, replied to my words.

“Masu, can I count on you?”
“Yes, I can’t just watch silently during this hardship. Mr. Lucas, is that acceptable?”
“Understood. However, if you feel it’s dangerous, return immediately. I’ll search neighboring countries for spices.”

“Yoshinobu, I’ll go too.”
“Sarina, stay by Mr. Lucas’s side. Though he may not show it, he’s under a lot of stress. I’ll be back in 4 to 5 days.”
“…I understand, but please make sure to come back.”
“Of course, wait for me.”

And so, this was how I embarked on a journey.
