NOVEL NEXT Chapter 337: Desert town Nefert, demon and boy
I leave Caro-san and the others and go for a walk in the town. This town is called Nefert. The specialty of the town seems to be the nuts, leaves and bark from the baobab tree. This is what they were selling at the store.

The baobab feed is a souvenir for Spica and Darley and their friends who worked hard. I bought baobab tea leaves and baobab powder because I didn't know about them.
At first, I made tea with the tea leaves.

Amazing effect, isn't it? Well, never mind. It was a waste of time, but I drank it.
Mmm! This...tastes a lot like grapefruit. The effects are amazing and Baobab is doing it.
Next, I ate the powder, which tasted just like grapefruit...this could be used in juices, yogurt or as a secret ingredient.
"Strong brother. Can I have some Baobab tea?"
Who? There was a boy and a tall human being who radiated a distorted atmosphere.
"Tss!"
I quickly get ready. This feeling...it's worse than Nephi-san's reaper. Then the boy laughs.
"Ahaha! I knew you could see Jin!"
Hm? Jin? Where have I heard that before...what was it?
"I told you so, Aladdin"
Aladdin!? This boy? Then I remembered Jin. It's an Arabic collective term for spirit, goblin and demon. In other words, the demon of the magic lamp is also considered a djinn. Apparently, in this world, the name of the demon of the lamp is called Jin.
"I know, but I've never met anyone who can see Jin before, so I don't blame you"
Apparently there's no need to be alarmed.
"Huhu. You let your guard down so easily. You're funny after all. Older brother"
"You should be more careful. This guy has defeated demons and star beasts with names and has made contracts with angels and holy beasts"
Aren't you revealing too much?
"It's okay. Jin will take care of it, right?"
"This guy..."
Quite the famous duo, Aladdin and the demon of the lamp. You can feel how well they get along just by talking to each other.
"I have no intention of fighting. I'm not stupid enough to think I can beat that Jin. I apologize for my deadly intentions"
"Hou. Well, if you were that strong, you wouldn't be a fool. No need to apologize. I'm a forgiving man"
"Hey, hey. Can I have some baobab tea?"
"I don't mind"
I make a cup of Baobab tea for Aladdin and Jin.
"Ah~it's so good!"
"...It's so-so"
"Jin's so-so means it tastes great"
"Don't say unnecessary things!"
You guys are really close.
"So? You don't just want a cup of baobab tea, do you?"
"Of course. Is it true that older brother is from outside the desert?"
"Yes. I'm from Freetia"
"Freetia? So that's the country where older brother lives!"
Come to think of it, Aladdin is going on an adventure with the heroine to see the big world.
"It's good that you're interested in the outside world, but you haven't forgotten that we have to go through trials to get out there, have you?"
"Uh..."
Hmm? Trials?
"What are the trials?"
"In this desert, there is a labyrinth called the Trials of the Desert, which the gods built in their spare time. We, the people who live in the desert, have to clear it before we can go outside. It's a goddamn nightmare"
Huh? But the slave cerian beasts...ah, you mean they weren't desert dwellers by any chance?
"I and Jin are up for the challenge. It's not working at all~"
"Because you're weak!"
It appears that this demon is having a very hard time.
"I told you to run around on the magic carpet, but how come you're dead!"
"There's no way I can escape those monsters! I told you to protect me well!"
"I tried to protect you, but you were dead before I knew it!
"That's because Jin didn't protect me!"
I have some idea what kind of thing happened.
"I, I don't care about that, older brother. Let me ask you about the outside world. I can't ask anyone anything because they´re bad people, except older brother"
Wait a minute.
"That's fine, but do you know anyone else who comes to this desert besides me?"
"Of course. Who do you think I am? I know everything about this desert, Jin-sama"
"I also know that older brother beat the bad guys"
He really seems to know everything.
"I'm telling you, I can't tell you about slave collars or where those guys out there live"
I'm sure that's true. But you've already given me the information.
"Hee. There's more than one of them out there and they have a place to live?"
"...Tsk"
Jin makes a face that says damn it. Aladdin sees this and bursts into laughter.
"Ahahahaha! Jin! You're talking information! Ahahahaha! That's funny!"
"You laugh too much! You!"
Then he talks about the outside world for information.
"Haa~. I still want to go to the outside world"
"If you feel that way, be strong at my level"
"No, you can't do that. If that happens, I'll stop being human"
Am I a human being in the eyes of Aladdin, who uses quite powerful magic? I thought seriously but did not dare to ask.
It was lunchtime, so I left Aladdin and Jin and logged out.
