DUAL GATES THE WORLD FROM THE PROGRESSOR

Chapter 7: We're about to embark on our first journey into a new world!

After purchasing his cell phone, they decided to head home.

"Hey Kazuki-kun, how did you learn to move so quickly? Did you study martial arts?" asked Marin curiously.

"...Well... my family clan has always been an ancient samurai clan... And if you're asking if I practice martial arts, then the answer is yes," explained Kazuki slowly.

"Wow...!! You practice martial arts! Really?!" Marin's eyes lit up when she heard that Kazuki was a martial artist.

"Correct..."

Marin had previously admired Kazuki's sturdy physique, but that wasn't the main reason she liked him. The main reason was that Kazuki had a very kind nature and could make someone feel very comfortable around him, but also had a ferocious side.

"Where is your house? Can I come over?" Marin asked with a pitiful but enthusiastic face.

"Of course, feel free to come to my house whenever you want."

"Then where is your home address?"

Kazuki looked around the surrounding area before asking for Marin's cellphone. "Lend me your cellphone..." he asked while raising his hand.

"Here it is..." Marin handed it over without hesitation.

Kazuki then opened the note app and wrote his address before giving the phone back to Marin.

"This is my address," he said.

"...Igarashi Dojo? Wasn't that the famous dojo of the previous generation that was said to be no longer functioning?" Marin asked Kazuki.

"8 years ago this dojo still had a few students trained by my grandfather, but since all of them have grown up and graduated, they have now gone and led their own lives," said Kazuki while looking at the sky calmly.

"8 years is a long time... Then how did the dojo survive to this day?"

"Actually this Dojo is barely surviving, the land for the dojo wanted to be bought by a big company, but Grandfather refused, and after Grandpa died, now the Dojo has been passed down to me..." Kazuki explained calmly to Marin.

"... Sorry if I was too rude to ask about it..." Marin said softly to him.

"...It's fine, just calm down!" exclaimed Kazuki lightly!

“Alright! Then you are the last heir, Kazuki-kun?”

Marin asked excitedly after Kazuki exclaimed lightly.

"You can say that!" Kazuki nodded to confirm it.

Seeing that there was an ice cream shop across the street, Marin then took Kazuki along.

"Okay then, let's buy some ice cream nearby before going home to celebrate your contract?"

"Does not matter!"

Then the two of them enjoyed the atmosphere in the afternoon, and Kazuki didn't forget to buy clothes that he had missed before.

Arthian Empire.

"Are you sure about this decision, Princess?" asked a knight with a stocky body and a strong demeanor.

"Of course I'm sure, Robert!" snorted the princess, who was currently brushing her hair while humming a beautiful chant.

The princess had a very beautiful oval face with blood-red eyes and hair as white as snow, which fell straight down to her waist. She stood at about 178 cm tall, with fair and charming white skin adding to her true charm. Her white eyelashes, which were quite thick, were also a plus for her. Her very sexy and beautiful hourglass body, plus her ideal E-cup size, was also one of the reasons why she was called the most beautiful woman in the world.

"But the path we're about to take goes through the Great Erchellot Forest; it's very dangerous!" the knight explained firmly.

“It doesn't matter, the most important thing is that we must be careful and carry plenty of supplies before going that way.”

"But..."

"There are no exceptions. My decision is final. We can't postpone it any longer," the girl said to the knight.

"Hahh okay... I understand, Princess. I will do my best to protect you," he sighed resignedly as he bowed.

"Thank you for your protection, Robert," said the princess with a light smile.

"But I hope that the trip this time will be fine."

"Yeah, let's hope," muttered the princess as she looked meaningfully at the moon through the window beside her.

"Now is the time to explore other worlds!" Kazuki was really, really looking forward to this!

Previously, he had wanted to recklessly go to another world without preparation, but when he remembered that the slimy jelly was quite terrifying when shooting flames, he became discouraged.

"It would be a joke if I died a ridiculous death in that world," Kazuki grumbled lowly. If anyone knew all that, he would probably be too embarrassed to face when he met the ghost of his grandfather or his ancestors.

"'Sorry, this foolish heir to be careless, please punish me!' Do I have to say something like that if my spirit meets the spirits of the ancestors if I die a ridiculous death?" he muttered while imagining some ridiculous and stupid scenes that might be done by him if that ridiculous death really happened.

Of course, Kazuki didn't want all of those things to actually happen because he had changed. He didn't want to be the disgraceful person he used to be. At least he wanted to face and meet the ancestors with a proud face and say, "I have managed to restore the glory of this clan and made many descendants who are very great and genius." Or something like that.

"Mweheheheheh..."

His brain had been contaminated by something perverted after he had touched a girl's body earlier.

“No, no! Forget about your lewd thoughts, Kazuki! Let's follow in the footsteps of a true monk becoming pure in the best way possible!” But Kazuki remained firm in his stance to become a person who is pure and unsullied.

To be honest, it's a bit strange for our character on this one, he tries to develop other traits that are very contradictory, but on the other hand he still maintains his current nature.

But it's the combination of those two traits that make Kazuki so well-liked by others regardless of his body condition.

Although...

Kazuki didn't notice it at all.

"Rather than thinking about all those unimportant things... Better, eat, bathe and then go to another world~..."

Kazuki also quickly forgot everything that was in his mind.
