CH 488
–While we were camping and preparing dinner, the night of the day when we met up with the adventurers, knights, and Hauzen-san, we had a slightly more luxurious banquet.
“Hey, Lars! Long time no see.”
“Berkreis? The beard looks good on you now.”
“Shut up!?”
“I remember the first time you challenged Kudelica-chan to a fight and beat the shit out of you.”
“B-Basleigh-sensei! ……. Don’t remind me of it ……”
And then, Berkreis, who has the [strong body] skill, comes to our direction with a skewer in his hand.
“Hello, Lars-kun! It’s been a while.”
“Hey, Urka. I’ve seen you a few times, so it doesn’t feel like it’s been that long.”
“Mizuki-san and Yifa!”
“Fufufu, I’ve missed you since you left, but I never thought I’d see you here …… You’re looking good, Lars-kun. Is Makina-kun doing well too?”
“Thank you, Mizuki-san. Well, a lot of things happened, and it ended up like this.”
I smiled back at Mizuki-san, who placed her hand on my shoulder and smiled kindly, and then quickly turned my attention to the town of Gust.
It was supposed to be a black mist, but it was clearly visible even in the darkness of the night, creating an odd atmosphere.
“I’ve heard most of the story from the vice commander. Setting aside the Everlide Kingdom’s people, but I never thought there are any non-humans mixed in with the Gospel’s Descent ……”
“Well, it’s true that they’re non-humans. One of them has three heads.”
“…… You are?”
“One of the Ten Chief Priests of the Gospel’s Descent, Aiatsubus …… also known as Lilith the demon. I’m pretty close to human, but most of the others are pretty badass.”
“Lars-kun, can we trust her?”
“Hmm, I’m not so sure?”
“Not sure!? Why, she’s your servant, you know, your servant. You can even order her to do something naughty as much as you want, though!?”
And then Mizuki-san narrowed her eyes and asked me.
“…… Has Makina-kun seen this guy?”
“What? Yeah, they’ve seen each other a little bit. She’s not here right now, because she’s away training.”
“Kuh …… Traveling together with Lars-kun …… I gave up, and now I’m losing to someone who’s not even human ……”
“M-Mizuki-san?”
“Lilith, right? Play against me and if I win, give me that position ……!!”
“What!? Wait, you’re not making any sense, though!? Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, she chasing me!? Why is it always me ……!”
“Wait ……!!”
As Mizuki began to chase Lilith around, Yifa, who had been chatting with Urka, came over to talk to me.
“Well, Sis is always like that. She has a lot on her mind, and I’m sorry about that Lilith, but I think we should just leave them be.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, don’t worry about it. Especially you, I guess? Anyway, I’d like to know what kind of trip you’ve been on, and I noticed that Ryuuze and the others is not here anymore too?”
“Yeah, sure.”
When I told Yifa about the territories, Lux, the ghosts in the capital, the battle on Sandiola, and other traces, he responded by drinking, laughing, and being amazed, starting with the fact that Urka and I had been rather active together.
And it seems that no other former classmates of the academy have come, besides Berkreis and Yifa, and they are waiting in the capital.
“Why didn’t all the adventurers from the guild come?”
“It’s hard to get everyone here considering the food situation, so those who wanted to and those with more experience were chosen. Truthfully, Ryuuze, Naru, and Kudelica would’ve been over here, you know?”
“So that’s how it is …… They’re still in training right now, so look forward to it.”
“Well, from the looks of it, I don’t think they can touch the town, so they’ll probably pull out once they’ve been stationed for a while. Oops, I should go there now.”
He laughed at the idea that Nemiigo and the others were already full-blown butchers and couldn’t be driven out, and headed to Mizuki-san, who was working hard to hang Lilith from a tree.
“…… Basleigh-sensei is on the hanging side.”
“They’re unusually working together. Now, shall we clean up and then get ready to sleep?”
“Yes, I suppose so …… I guess Retzel and his friends are here properly”
“Basleigh-sensei, no, I heard that Regal inside is watching them, so there’s no way they can escape. That’s why they didn’t bring Himmel-san with them.”
I said to Urka as I looked at Retzel and the others preparing the hammock, and he laughed like a fool.
Then I saw a shadow coming from the tree tops and I braced myself.
“What is it ……!”
“Master, it’s me.”
It was the wyvern that landed in front of me. I had asked him to stay up in the trees to avoid alarming the others, but he had come down under the cover of darkness.
“What’s wrong? Enemies?”
“There’s no problem with the monsters. Can you please give me a name now?”
“Ah!? …… Sorry, it completely left my mind ……”
“It’s okay. It’s not too late to start now.”
Come to think of it, I said I’d give him one when we arrive …… I forgot because of the fight against the monsters and the joy of meeting Hauzen-san and the others ……
“A name …… let’s see, how about ‘Angriff’?”
“Angriff …… I like it, I like it a lot!”
“That’s a cool name.”
I thought it would be a good name for a wyvern, since it means “Assault,” but it turned out to be a good fit. As he shouted in delight, the birds from the night forest flew in surprise.
“Then, I’ll return to keeping watch.”
“I’ll leave it to you.”
“He’s so reliable, but is it alright that he doesn’t need to sleep?”
“I think we can let him sleep on the roof? Well, I’ll take a nap.”
After soaring with satisfaction, Urka and I watched as it circled once in the sky and then stationed itself in a nearby tree before returning to make its bed.
–After that, there were a few skirmishes with the monsters, and we took turns keeping watch and fighting.
As night falls, we start preparing for our departure before the sun even comes up.
“Fuah …… Lars, are you going already?”
“Good morning, Hauzen-san. Yes, we’ll be looking for Yogus in Luitzar, and then we’ll go to Arjan-san’s place in Orpha Country, so we don’t have much time to waste. And Sarge is not here either.”
“I see …… I’m sure you guys will be fine, but be careful.”
“See you soon, Lars-kun.”
“Take care of yourselves!”
After greeting Hauzen-san, Mizuki-san, Yifa and Berkreis, we set off again.
It would be bright by the time we bypassed the town and took the road to Luitzar.
“Are you sure you want to go to Luitzar first?’
“Yeah, we don’t know if we’ll find Yogus right away, so I think we’ll have the guild and Grace-san search for him first, and then make another stop on the way back.”
“That way, we can avoid wasting time. It’s a little bit of a detour, but it’s on the same line to Orpha Country anyway.”
“Should I go scout ahead?”
“Angriff, I’ll leave the watch over the surrounding to you when we reach the open grasslands. In the meantime, get some rest.”
“Leopard.”
“Oh, you gave him a name.”
“That was the deal, after all. Well, let’s get moving.”
We’re on our way to Luitzar–
“Hey, Lars! Long time no see.”
“Berkreis? The beard looks good on you now.”
