Chapter 22
Episode 22ă He that Fights and Runs May Live to Fight Another Day .
Weeds and flowers growing along the river side a buried underfoot .
The popobumuâs heavy footsteps firmly step on the flowering plants making a footprint .
The wind and weather is good .
A refreshing wind is wrapping around us .
Approaching a small hill near the river, the view spreads out more .
A branch of the Haym river .
I am able to confirm to confirm the area around and see stones of various scattered around and covered in moss that have gathered together to form the steam .
-N?
As I enjoy the scenery I detect a magic essence .
There are multiple magic essence signsâŠand they are coming from the river .
Because I detected magic essence coming I back away from the Haym river cautiously;
Coming down from her favorite place on the back of the popobumuâs head Rollo changes into her panther form to be safe .
It feels like theyâre jump out at any time .
I can hear bubbling sounds coming from the river .
The sound becomes larger .
Cautiously, the source of the sound appears .
It is a large crab .
With bubbles foaming out of its mouth it rises out of the river .
The source of the bubbling must be thisâŠ
At the ends of five pairs of crab legs are twin pincers .
It looks like it will hurt if I get hit by that .
Before long, one of the bubbles floats towards me .
Immediately it attacks . Because I move while getting on popobumu, the attack natural does not succeed .
Thereâs an evaporating sound in the place where the bubble lands .
A rotten sulfur smell drifts up .
Poison type? I donât want to receive that bubbleâŠ
Only one of the big crabs is releasing bubbles and is approaching from the side .
A bit moreâŠcoming closer .
âRollo, separate that crab from the river a little . â
Rollo remains silent and wags her tail to say âGot it . â
I watch the condition of the big crab as it walks away from the river .
Then Rollo attacks it stomach with her feeler bone sword .
When her attack lands there is a *busu* sound like soft leather being punctured .
From the hole a bit of fibrous white crab meat protrudes .
The big crab desperately resists as it tries to repel Rolloâs bone sword with its pincers but the bone sword penetrates its body multiple times .
The grab seems to be becoming angry, and furthermore, it is being drawn toward Rollo .
Haha, stupid crab .
I get down from the popobumu with a smile and move to flank the big crab .
I thrust out the black spear from the side while the big crab is being distracted by Rollo .
From a normal stab-<Thrust> .
It received my attack, but there is little response . I felt soft to the touch .
Going by the sensation I was able to stab the big crabâs body twice, but it is still able to move .
With bubbles gushing out of it mouth it twists around with its pincer hands .
Without bother to aim it tries swinging at me from the left and right, but because I am already outside of the range of the huge claws its attack fails .
Again Rolloâs feeler bone sword pierces the body of the giant crab .
The bubbling from is directed in Rolloâs direction but she simply jumps out of the way and they are only harmlessly scattered about .
The big crab tries to move sideways so that it chase Rollo with rustling motions .
This crab is tough; it is a good thing it is stupid .
Again, it is being drawn in by Rollo .
Now, should I aim for the mouth? I hold up my left hand . I eject <Chain> .
The chain cuts straight through the air . Through the bubbling mouth of the big crab it penetrates out the back of the crabâs shell .
The grab twitches and falls back .
I run there fiercely .
I jump a little â and swing down the spear length-wise .
All of the pincer are severed and a huge part of the head is cut into . A yellow past like fermented soybeans hangs down from the section .
Ooh, isnât like miso mixed with crab meat .
The claws are filled with white flesh .
It looks tasty .
But, as I saw the poison spurting out I will leave it beâŠ
While thinking about the poison Roll howls with a âGarururu . â
She reveals the shining fangs in her mouth suddenly begins to tear into the leathery stomach of the giant crab .
Thus she begins to energetically consume the white crab meat .
ââŠOăi, is it tasty, Rollo?â
Hearing me Rollo turns around to face me in the form of a kittens and goes âNya, nyaa . â
âWell then, I tooâŠâ
Taking one of the giant claws in my hand I pull out some of the white meat from where I cut it . Itâs not animal meat, exposing my teeth I take a bite .
Mumbling I chew and taste it . This white meat is yummyyyyy . It is crab meat . Okkasan, this is white meat is crab . (TL: Donât know why he says mom here . â
The tension goes up and even though it is strange this is proper soft crab sashimi . (TL: Sashimi means the meat, normally for sushi type dishes, is thinly slice . It has more to do with the presentation, I think, so this doesnât make sense to me . )
It hasnât been boiled, but honestlyâŠit is really good⊠and there is a slight saltiness .
But because there is so much I wonât be able to finish it .
Chewing on the soft crisp meat, it is really tasty .
âItâs good, but I want soy sauceâŠI really wish I had soy sauceâŠbut Iâll have to bear with it . â
Holding onto the crab claw with both hand I am sure to eat all of its slim contents .
Rollo seems to be eating the yellowish gunk and her lips have turned yellow .
Because there is so much white meat I am full in no time .
It seems to be the same for Rollo, she stopped eating and is now repeating the action of washing her face .
âWill you eat this, popobumu? Will you eat some of the white meat?â
I return to the popobumu with some of the game and try to press some of the white meat against its mouth .
Then, with a big snort it stretches out its head and takes a big bite .
*Mogumogu* it eats all of the meat and its small green eyes look bright and pleased .
We who have finished eat the big crab we caught hang around for a little while like this before we begin to head south again .
We travel across the grassland and hills while keeping the Haym river in sight .
After eating the crab meat, the popobumu seems to have become spirited . I can hear it going âbubobuboâ
The scenery changes from grass-covered plains to dirt fields .
I can see a âpersonâ plowing the field, and some sparsely dotted houses are visible .
The first human being- A human . (TL: It only took about two years . )
They look like a farmer .
There are a few wooden hills too .
And old man seems to be keeping watch from there and is sitting down with a book as he looks over the scenery .
Do they work on days with fine weather and read on days with rainy weather?
This area seems like a quiet farm village .
I see children playing with wooden sticks to the side . A cow that looks like a lunga is pulling a millstone to grind flower .
There do not seem to be any monsters or bandits in the area .
After I pass the quiet farming village I appear on wide road with ruts from carriage wheels .
The dirt here is appropriate for a highway . As I travel down the highway on popobumu, I pass people and carts transporting farm products .
In the carriages I can see humans, elves, and beast people riding .
The coachman in this case is a human and the other two are a âtiger beastmanâ with tiger ears and a long eared elf, there is a lot of variety . I prompt the popobumu to hurry up .
I get a strong impression from the face of the tiger beastman .
He has long whiskers like a tiger and tawny hair that looks really bushy .
The human is wearing short sleeves and a hat, and to be honest, because he is driving the cart to scene is a bit odd .
With the head of a leopard or tiger, well I am reminded of a famous protagonist from a long novel .
I continue to travel down the highway as I watch people come and go .
I am able to increase the speed of the popobumu thanks to where the road goes .
The road follows alongside the Haym rive so it is just right
When I cross over a hill, the river spreads out and becomes shallow enough the cross .
When I cross the shallows I can see a part of a big town .
And as the clouds clear up and I can see a high tower come into view .
Amazing, such a tall tower .
With my hand up to shade my eyes from the bright sunlight I take a look at the tall tower . The tall tower seems to reach the heavens .
Is it one of the dungeons? Possibly a space elevator? It looks like the Tower of Babel, butâŠIt is extremely tall .
Possibly, is it higher than the Maheim mountain range?
My eyes look over the tower and I remember, I cannot seem to find a castle wall .
Maybe it is not visible from here .
On the map this is marked down as the ă Royal Capitol Fadykeă of Terramay Kingdom .
When one reaches the tower are they at the center of the capitol? The number of buildings increases the closer one gets to it, and I can see pedestrian traffic is able to come and go freely .
As I look up at the tower I push the popobumu forward, when suddenly, I hear a hard metallic sound nearby . I hear a rough male voice .
There seems to be a fight somewhere .
I get a reaction from presence detection too .
However, because there is a lot of magic essence appropriate for people in the area it is hard to distinguish .
When I activate <Smell Secretion Technique Pheromone Touch>âŠI am over whelmed by the smell of blood .
It seems like this area could be dangerous .
A human with a drawn sword and a beast person with a bloody axe are walking .
The body of the beast person is quite large .
His whole body is covered in hairy armor .
I remember a character from a famous sci-fi movie .
As I pass by while observing their figures, sure enough, I can hear the voice a woman being attacked .
Should I help?
I hurry and make the popobumu face the direction of the sound .
However, everyone is gone, so it seems the victim was take somewhere .
I do not pursue too far . I just advance .
And in the evening, the traffic dwindles down to very little .
It is already night . I look for an innâŠbut there doesnât seem to be one .
I walked around, but there doesnât seem to be anything like an inn . Only private houses and abandoned buildings everywhereâŠ
Trying to find one is hopeless .
There are traces of the ruins of a large estate . Crossing the threshold, Iâm coming in .
The grounds of the ruins have a lot of weeds and trees growing in the back .
It was adjacent and connected to the highway .
I hide the popobumu under a tree and stop here .
I give it some feed . After feeding some jerky to the popobumu I pat the rough skin of its neck .
Then, I explore the mansion a little .
I go into the ruins with the black cat Rollo .
-There is no one .
Since there is no one here I contemplate staying the night here .
After exploring the mansion and finding an open space between some pillar I decide to make my bed there .
I spend the night calmly, leaning against a pillar and chewing jerk . (TL: Heâs so cool . )
At midnight while I a sleeping lightly-thereâs a reaction on presence detection, I detect more than one magic essence signature as well as footsteps .
âRollo, shhhâŠâ
I place a finger to my lips and gesture for Rollo to be quiet .
I check with my <Pheromone Touch> skill .
Multiple humans are approaching .
Rising quietly, I watch from the shadows .
Roll jumps to my shoulder . Listening to my instructions she waits quietly .
The members entering the mansion are hooded robes so I cannot see their faces .
Some round sources of light illuminate the mansion along with the people .
Is that light magic?
The people cloaked in hoods look around the room .
Fortunately, they donât come to where I am hiding .
Those who have finished patrolling gather in the hall .
âThis is the home of a noble family who lost their position . It will be all right . â
A man speaks with a voice that carries the feel of an apprentice and pulls back his hood .
The face is middle-aged . White hairs are growing from the side of his head, the man is clear cut and his eyes are sunk into his cheeks .
He is wearing hide armor that is slightly stained around the neck .
Then everyone follows the manâs lead and remove their cowls . They all look like soldiers wearing steel helmets .
The young soldier opens his mouth .
âCaptain, may I invite those people here?â
âAh, make it so . âŠPlease mind that you are courteous?â
The leader with the chiseled features reminds the subordinate soldier to pay special attention .
Courteous? Are there big shots here, too?
âYes . â
The young soldier nods and disappears into the darkness outside of the mansion .
After a moment I can see the soldier is guiding a group of people inside . Everyone is wearing a hood like those who entered earlier were .
However, judging from their attitudes and appearances they are clearly different from the helmet wearing soldiers .
They are delivering orders in a distinguished manner .
The soldiers respond to their orders and search the hall for a table and chairs before returning and setting them up .
When a desk is set up, one of the bossy people removes their hood, exposing their face .
The person has blond hair and blue fox eyes . A man with handsome features .
Tall and good looking .
His clothes look expensive, the fridge of his mantle is embroidered with gold thread . (TL: The RAWs say he is wearing a ăżăăŹăă which translates to tablet, and the closest thing I can think of that makes sense is some kind of mantle . )
A fur cape is wrapped around his shoulders, and a black scarf substituting a tie is wrapped around his neck .
Something shiny is also attacked to his chest .
When I look closer at the shining object I can make out a golden hand-shaped broach .
A high-class accessary .
After the blond-haired ikemen sits down on the stool his subordinates prepared he taps his finger several times on the table .
And, raising his blue fox-eyes he begins to glare at the captain for before .
âOi, Jared! Isnât this different from what you said before?â
The blond-haired ikemen calls the captain Jared . (TL: His names in the raws is Garudo which sounds like Guard . I thought it was kind of funny . )
The middle-aged captain of the mercenaries wearing brown hide-armor seems to be named Jared .
Jared lowers his head in apology .
âHai . I am sorry . There are circumstancesâŠthis was an order his Excellencyâs âroyalist factionâ to move, I had to act quickly after receiving the communication . From his Excellency⊠be extremely cautious, once here âall of you,â stand by until you receive an order . â
Hearing this the ikemen is completely enraged .
âWhat? Do you understand the circumstances! Expressly, although the court came from Samaria⊠there is no banquet, we meet in these ruins⊠Am I not one of Marquises of Samaria? Who does Prime Minister Zamdo think he is?â
Not only is that ikemen a noble, heâs a marquis?
He is definitely a big shot . That explains why there are so many soldiers .
Thereupon, a suitably showy person takes down their hood and sits on another stool .
Long, swaying pure blonde hair . Judging from that appearance, a woman?
âShall we hear the circumstances? You are suspicious . â
âChardonnay . You say something . We, the secret bureau of the royalist faction, have already understood everything if that is the caseâŠâ
âMaa, ne . This is natural . So, is there any reason for us to be here? Prime Minister Zamdo is an insecure good for nothing . The subordinates of such a personâŠâ
Prime Minister Zamdo?
The eyes of the noble woman called Chardonnay stares at Jared like he is garbage .
âFu, surely, surely all of these guys can be used including for work so . â
The blond-haired ikemen talks with warped cheeks .
Jaredâs complexion worsens as he is he being blamed by the two nobles .
âHewso, do you really need to torment him so much? You might not think so, but he is a subordinate of Terramay Kingdomâs Prime Minister Zamdo . â
The Marquisâ name seems to be Hewso .
And then, the Prime MinisterâŠ
âThatâs right . We are certainly in a different country, and then, although the armistice treaty has been signed, originally we are enemy nations . â
âCorrect . We are here together because the relationship between the two countries is different now, will we be sharing each otherâs fate?â
âChardonnay, you are saying something like thatâŠâ
âAra⊠are you surprised? Have I not invested considerable sums of money in this?â
Jared interrupts the middle-aged noble there .
âI apologize . Hewso-sama and Chardonnay-sama . The matter of this conversationâŠâ
Hearing this the blond middle-aged ikemen, Hewso, opens his mouth and looks at him with eyes filled with fox eyes filled with unresolved anger .
âWhat is it?â
âHai⊠His Excellency was concerned that information concerning Princess Narskeri-sama was leaked from the loyalist faction . He is concerned . â
Jaredâs voice is somewhat tense .
âPrime Minister Zamdo is still worried about that matter? There hasnât been any blundering of the details out of impatience? Even if the secret bureau has a leak the truth about the kidnapping will never come out because of all the goldâŠâ (TL: Iâm not confident in that last sentence . )
Wait, what? Princess? Kidnapping? Secret Bureau? Royalist Faction?
Did a lot of these words suddenly come out?
âThe surrounding masked group⊠kidnappers, assassins, arenât these back room dealings your business? Isnât âNebulousâ called the ăShadowâs Right Handă? No doubt they are all excellent people . â
Chardonnay says so and turns her eyes to Hewso .
She makes a bewitching smile while she plays with her blond hair .
The way this woman talks, for some reason I find it discomforting .
While unpleasant, the woman called Chardonnay is a beautiful woman .
Beautiful long blond hair and porcelain skin .
She has a well-defined nose cool blue eyes, a beauty that feels like high class furniture .
The clothes she is wearing serve to emphasize on her beauty .
From the opening of the coat the collar of her black dress has pink flower embroidery, the low-cut neck line is decorated with flowers to hide her exposed chest .
Surely the clothes she is wearing is not below a precious stone . Her legsâ figure is exposed by the pants is wearing .
From her clothes give the impression of a bell rose .
She has the impression of an overbearing woman .
âThatâs right . After Chardonnay, isnât the person standing behind the same kind?â
âAra, isnât something like this natural . Do you think I would come to the ruins of this mansion with nothing but small fry soldiers?â
âCertainly . â
Jared then opens his mouth .
âHewso-sama . Chardonnay-sama . Soon there should be contact from his Highness Zamdo⊠we will hear the details about the preparations for the surprise apology at tomorrowâs banquet . (TL: Surprise is in English . )
When the noble woman Chardonnay hears that she makes a satisfied smile .
ââŠNaturally . As expected . But, Prime Minister Zamdo is bad too . This is the princess of your country?â
Kidnapping a princess?
I should run away⊠(TL: This be some bad juju . )
I activate <Hidden Body> and retreat one step, two steps .
And then-
â-Someone is there!â
Even though I am using hidden body I was discovered
The person who spoke appears out of the darkness from behind Hewso .
They are wearing a black coat and a white mask . White mask-san turns their blood lust in my direction .
âOi oi, is there an outsider? No one should be here?â
Blond-haired Hewso-kun is furious . He glares at Jared with a flushed face .
âHai . NaturallyâŠis it true?â
âYeah . Zeefu reacted . â
âAra, ma . This conversation⊠does that mean the plan has been leaked?â
White mask seems to be called Zeefu, and the mask is turned in my direction .
âCome out from that corner . â
Acha, I was seen through .
Does the white mask named Zeefu have a skill similar to pheromone touch and presence detection?
No, because I was not noticed right away it must be a different kind of perception
There are multiple magic essence reactions from presence detection around me .
Is this midnight snack part open to everyone?
However, this situation does not really seem appropriate for a joke .
I am at an overwhelming disadvantage in numbers .
I need to be prepared to escape, although I was planning on leavingâŠI reveal myself .
Hewso looks at my suddenly exposed figure with his slitted fox eye .
âWhere are you from . Are you actually from the royalist faction?â
He asks me calmly .
âEto, Iâm just a vagabond . â
I do not intend to try and deceive them .
âHow long have you been there?â
âFrom the beginning . â
âSince this is just garbage thereâs no reason to keep it alive? Hewso?â
The noble woman, Chardonnay .
Her pale-complexioned beautiful face, a cool feeling spreads from my stomach as she takes a cold attitude .
She just called me garbage .
She called me garbage while looking down on me .
âŠSickening .
âUnderstood . Zeefu, Apo, Yui . Kill him . â
âHa . â
âUnderstood . â
âImmediately . â
Two shadows appear from the darkness and reply .
The two newcomers are dressed like Zeefu with black overcoats and white masks .
Two new people . The two white masked individuals, without making a sound come to a stop next to Zeefu .
Three people in total . And then, captain Jared whistles .
With that signal, the helmeted soldiers pull out their swords, and become a wall to protect the nobles .
Several of the soldiers are slowly approaching me .
I check with magic observing eye .
The helmeted soldiers are out of the question . There is also no sign of moji .
The problem is the three white masks dressed in black . All of them are concentrating mana in their hands and feet .
All three must be moji users .
However, their proficiency is clearly lacking .
The transfer of mana in their body is too slow .
N, there is one person who is awfully smooth .
To be frank, since I donât want to fightâŠshould I try talking?
âWait just a second . Arbitrarily killing me like that, Iâm unrelated . After this, regardless of what happensâŠâ
âYou know more than you need to . â
Hewso says so while looking at me with cold eyes .
After giving me that chilling look, he signals Zeefu and Apo to kill me with a look .
Chi, it cannot be helped .
It looks like there is going to be a fight, holding the black spear I make eye contact with Rollo .
In that instant, Rollo transform into her larger body and throws herself at two soldiers .
At the same time, the white mask that discovered me earlier steps forward .
Zeefu kicks the ground with fighting moji enhanced legs and comes at me .
-Quick movement .
Holding a long sword in their right hand .
Aiming for my chest, the black mask called Apo runs at me too .
Similarly, they seem to be using a sword .
The black mask is aiming for my neck .
In those few seconds, I respond . (TL: I would like some help translating this phrase âäżșăŻăŒăăłăłăäœç§ă§â this is the second time it has come up and Iâm not sure how to translate it to English . If anyone has any idea, please leave a comment . )
I move the black spear in a figure eight and dodge the two slashing swords .
Both of the longswords miss .
I attack while their guard is down .
I point the tip of my black spear at the white mask first .
Zeefu canât react to my counter attack with the spear .
They can only slightly shift my body .
Naturally, that is not enough to prevent my attack .
My spear counterthrusts like a drill deep into the pit the white masked Zeefuâs stomach, the sound of metal being torn . Blood gushes out from the cut in the cloak .
Zeefu groans âGwoâ and retreats back in agony .
Immediately, the black mask named Apo attacks again .
I remember Shishoâs words âWhen the spear is sealed an opening appears . â
Green eyes behind the black mask are visible shifting for a moment . Apo swings down their long sword and tip slashes across my right shoulder .
I move to give up-
I move in a circle with âtiptoe half-turnâ and retreat half a step .
And lifting my elbow I lift the back half of the spear .
The long sword meets the butt end from above at an angle .
Then, with a *clang, * the sound of breaking metal .
The broken end of the sword flies of in the direction of the nobles, and pierces a soldier forming the wall .
-Hii, he screams faintly .
Fu, success . Alright, I broke the long sword .
This looks easy, but it was hard .
I had to make the butt end of the black spear collide with the middle of the sword along the edge with perfect timing . This is a technique Shisho taught me, âSword Break . â
I immediately counterattack .
Disturbed by the destruction of their beloved sword, Apo cannot match my speed .
Circling in from a right angle, I come in with a battle cry .
It attacks straight as knife .
I enhance my legs with fighting moji and kick Apo in the pit of their stomach . The kick sinks into Apoâs stomach- a dull creaking is audible .
âGwe . â
The black mask, Apo, cries out in pain and begins to lean forward like they are going to fall .
I pull the cloak wearing black mask falling toward me and hurl them to the ground in a back throw .
But I do not end it with that .
Looking down at the black masked Apo-
Right before Apoâs skull smacks the ground I swing up the metal rod of the black spear and kick .
The thrust out black spear cracks into Apoâs face .
The metal rod smashes their skull together with the black mask .
Apoâs grey matter splashes out .
After all, this is âLightning Drop . â
This is one of the abstract <Spear Sparring> techniques, however I donât remember most of their names . As for the fight with Shisho, most of them were used for actual fighting .
Oh, Rollo has finished biting the necks of the small fry soldier, the fight seems to be over .
But, there is another oneâŠthe guy with the black mask .
I can see mana gathering in their feet .
This one is the shortest, and their atmosphere seems strong than the other two .
Seeing how their other white masked companion was easily taken care of, being cautious and moving slowly, they pull two unique swords from their sheaths .
The sword blades are crossed in front of the mask .
A faintly shining white character emerges the sword blades .
Those words, they look like protection magic .
The two of them have mana .
Cool .
In addition, those swords look something like a trench knife and a scull crushed for attacking with fists . (TL: You can see them on the cover art . )
Part of the sword blade extends away from the main blade and is designed in a circular pattern .
While looking at the unique swords, after swinging the black spear to remove the blood, I assume my posture with my spear directed at the eyes .
The white mask moves first .
This guy takes advantage of their small stature and leaning comes running fast with their swords swept out horizontally to the sides .
I quickly keep the back spear pointed at their eyes- I block their attack .
The black tanza spear collides with the unique swords .
With a high-pitched *kiwi* the swords are repelled, and I respond with a stab with the black spear at the same time .
But, it is easily avoided-
The guy leans their head slightly and dodges my black spear .
Without change they move their body forward and extend out their left hand, and the silver sword stabs at my neck .
-Crap, I was careless .
One stab, two stabs, aimed at my body, at move to the left and right, avoiding the slashing swords .
As if white mask never missed they swing at my torso with the sword in their right hand, slashing down again-
This fellow is really strong .
With the continuous fight of the white mask it becomes a defensive fight for me .
Dodge . Avoid . Shift . Continue dodging attacks .
Ma, this is on purpose . This sword is beautiful .
I do not need to use my trump .
I watch it slowly and carefully, and when there is an opening in the sword I counterattack .
As the sword slashes at my black spear I easily rotate it . I wait for the attack with the two swords where the guy over swings slightly .
In one strike to the eyes, without receiving the black spear, they barely dodge it . The movement pays out though as the white mask slips to the left a bit .
Swinging with the two sword, aiming with that timing .
-Here it comes!
I am aware of my grip on the black spear like holding a willow branch .
Gently, I receive the sword slash- and repel it . In an instant, the sword that collided with the metal bar is knocked away .
Without using <Fighting Moji> taking the opening in that moment, I kick down to the right of my opponent and hit my enemyâs foot .
âEh-â
The white mask falls off . Once again, I take once of the guy about to fall and thrown them backwards .
Like this, the nobles who were watching pleasantly suddenly stare wide-eyed .
Hewso looks at me in surprises and mutters .
âT-the three strongest of Nebulous, our ăShadowâs Right Handă defeated so easily-â
ââŠIâm surprised . I want him as my subordinate-â
Is her, Chardonnay?
The noble woman says such a thing and blushes with a far off look in her eyesâŠ
âHewso-sama! Chardonnay-sama! Let us retreat now . I-â
The tattooed captain Jared, is it because of me? But, this guy must think it wonât be much different after seeing the soldiers killed by the black cat RolloâŠ
âJared . It is impossible for you . â
Hewso talks . Seeing his subordinate defeated so easily, he seems to understand my ability .
âThâŠThis responsibility, is mine!â
âJared, I saidâŠdid you, no, did Prime Minister Zamdo arrange this?â
Hewso glares at Jared .
Jared hurriedly shakes his head left and right and looks at Hewso .
âItâ different, completely different! I know nothing about it . Itâs true . However, this fellow, they may be a talent who has been nurtures by the secret bureau and royalist factionâŠâ
âJared- you are an incompetent good-for-nothing . Yet, thanks to that I can tell that you are not an enemyâŠâ
A white haired old man draped in a white mantle with a large sword strapped to his back appears . The old soldier with the big sword bows slightly to Chardonnay, and approaches her .
âOjou, no, you HighnessâŠâ
The old man whispers to Chardonnay and talks in a low voice .
âSo . Un . Ahuh . I understand . Right away, letâs retreatâŠHewso . I am disappointed we couldnât have our talk here; it will have to wait for another timeâŠwell then . Keeki, Same . Let us return . â
A beast woman quickly appears to follow Chardonnay, and lining up next to the old soldier, touches one knee to the ground .
âHa . â âI obey . â
The beast woman and the old solder both lower their heads to Chardonnay and respond .
âChardonnay!â
Are you breaking you promise with Hewso! Yelling as if to say that .
Besides, are there subordinates that seem to be strong . But they seem to have run away .
Good . As for me, I will escape .
âThen, Iâll escape to, so be relieved . I have to intentions to reveal anything . There was no meaning to my being here, best regards . Letâs go Rollo . Well, bye . â
Speaking in an easy-going tone, I bow goodbye .
Hewso and Jared glare at me, but the smartest thing to do in a tight situation is to beat a retreat .
âHey, you!â
Strengthening my legs with fighting moji I quickly come to Rolloâs side and pick her up, and run away to where the popobumu is waiting .
