Chapter 112
Chapter 112 â The Lancer of Chaos that walks the Path of Indiscriminate Slaughter
âYou are saying that they sold an item that might destroy the world for the sake of moneyâŚ? Where is that item?â (Shuuya)
I speak while looking directly into Kazaneâs black eyes .
âOf course I chased after it . To get back the Seed of Dimension Tearing . But, when I got in touch with the dark guild, they had already⌠it was sold to a wealthy, major merchant of the ăSeven Flor-Seil Kingdomă . And then, it was stolen by another dark guild, went through the hands of several wealthy merchants, etc⌠I completely lost track of it . As one would expect, even if I were to utilize my skill, I canât search all life-forms . However, thinking back on it now, I guess I have my current position because of my experiences and personal connections⌠And, even the crucial Reincarnation Seed of Dimension Tearing might have simply been an item to summon a reincarnator . Since the world is even now continuing to exist, and moreover, if I consider it very carefully, thereâs no way for something that will destroy the world to have been put into a treasure chest . I think I might have trusted my own power too muchâŚâ (Kazane)
An item that summons reincarnators? Certainly, the possibility for that is high .
It might be the reason why I was summoned, but well, Kazaneâs theory is quite plausible .
âSo, what about the two who sold it?â (Shuuya)
âThe two of them left this city after getting enthused about entering an exploration clan called ăFortressă or something like that . I havenât seen them since then . I havenât heard of them for more than a hundred years⌠Though I believe that they are still alive just like me since they have used the secret medicine, too . â (Kazane)
I see . The secret medicine seems to be an item that prolongs oneâs life after all .
Besides, Fortress?
Oh? That phrase, exploration clan⌠somewhere⌠Aah! I remember .
The adventure memorandum written in that literary fragment that was originally within the item box .
Err, you donât sayâŚ!
Does that mean that those two reincarnators were the members mentioned in that literary fragment?
In that case they have already died after getting devoured by giants, right?
⌠Amen .
â⌠Hm? You make an expression as if you know something?â (Kazane)
Whoa, this old woman, Kazane .
I guess this woman, no, old hag is not one to be taken lightly .
For her to guess my feelings from my expression!
Can she actually read someoneâs mind or something like that!?
â⌠No, itâs just that I heard a clan name resembling that somewhereâŚâ (Shuuya)
I try to say while squinting slightly .
âReally? Fufu, ah, please donât make such an expression . Just because I possess the extra skill
Lineage of Asura
, I still canât read someoneâs
mind
. But, you know that several such skills do exist as well, donât you? Fufu . â
It appeared . I see . An extra skill .
Lineage of Asura
was mentioned several times when I was creating my character . I remember that name was there during my skill selection .
Lineage of Asura
is a type of appraisal skill?
Really, I wonder what would have happened if I had acquired that skill .
Things might have turned out completely different .
I might have become an ero religious founder that established a religion worshipping a boob goddess after creating a boobs faith by making use of the knowledge of the boobs research society which increased its techniques from 156 to 157?
If I had been transmigrated into the vicinity of the Holy Kingdom at Fortress City Hekatrail⌠no, itâs no use even if I delude myself .
I had my encounter with my partner Rollo while experiencing a painful underground life .
And, encountering spearmanship after being saved by master, experiencing a livelihood surrounded by the gentle Goldeeba family; for sure itâs because it was a journey where I experienced various meetings and farewells that⌠I have become what Iâm now .
I ended up getting slightly influenced after hearing Kazaneâs story .
Besides, skills that read oneâs mind, huh?
Moreover, several of themâŚ
Master Achilles told me about it a bit before, but as expected, I guess such special skills exist, donât they?
Transmitting perverted stuff to the mind of the other party is a bit scary, but it seems to be interesting .
I want to try meeting those skill-possessors .
â⌠Is⌠that so? Youâre saying that you can appraise a person with that
Lineage of Asura
?â (Shuuya)
âItâs an ability of Fate God Asura . I can
see
the fate of those I look at by making the status display . You are a being that is a chaotic mix . â (Kazane)
A being that is a chaotic mix?
Um, in any case, she thinks that I might be something like that .
âChaotic mix? What do you meanâŚ?â
âThe amount of information is too small, seeing as I canât view much of your information . Even the reincarnators, to whom I bid farewell one hundred years ago, had been accompanied by risks, but I was able to see everything clearly . But, only you and the seedâŚâ (Kazane)
âYou werenât able to see clearly, you mean?â (Shuuya)
âYes, speaking figuratively, I suppose it feels like you were born into this world
all of a sudden
after distorting fate . â (Kazane)
All of a sudden, eh?
Well, itâs just as she says though .
âThatâs why Iâm a chaotic mix?â (Shuuya)
âYes, correct . Iâm sorry if you took offense . I have continued looking at others throughout many years, but for the power of Fate God Asura to not get through; Kagari-san, you are the
first
living being . â (Kazane)
The power of a god doesnât get through?
To begin with, even the time when I came to this world was abnormal .
Although itâs the same with me possessing the memories of my previous life, I think itâs because I was born after sitting on that weird chair and using a character maker .
Reincarnation or transmigration, you might say both are correct and incorrect .
Truly a chaotic mix where right and wrong, good and evil are squirming while joined by light and demonic .
Iâm sure even the gods of this world are confused .
â⌠I see . Itâs not like I particularly took offense . â (Shuuya)
When Kazane hears my words, she smiles a little .
âFufu, thatâs great . So, can I start the divination any time now? I can offer astrology that makes use of a horoscope I continuously researched for many years . â (Kazane)
Horoscope?
Astrology, she says⌠she researched divination similar to the one on Earth on this planet?
âHoroscope? Are you saying that it has some kind of connection to magic?â (Shuuya)
âYes . Different from earth, there are two moons here . That completely changes the zodiac signs, doesnât it? However, countless stars exist even in the night sky visible from this planet, and thus there are constellations . It still has a long way to go before leaving the stage of research, but I have created my own star chart . I discovered that the group of constellations has a connection to the power of the gods which actually reside in these stars . I put divination that makes use of other elements into practise as well . â (Kazane)
While talking fluently, Kazane opened her narrow eyes widely as if scanning me .
My figure and a green light is reflected in her black eyes .
⌠It causes a mysterious atmosphere .
Itâs truly gave her the impression of a diviner .
ăYour Excellency, this old woman seems to even sense my existence . ă (Helme)
I see . It feels like thatâs possible .
ăHelme watch her closely . ă (Shuuya)
ăOkay . ă (Helme)
Although itâs called divination, you never know what might happen in this world .
And, Iâm only interested in the appraisal skill .
I will stop it since I donât have any interest in divination .
âRight now I donât need it . â (Shuuya)
I refused .
âI see⌠why did you come here then?â (Kazane)
The face of Kazane cramps a bit .
I will answer honestly since it looks like her mood worsened .
â⌠Itâs because I wondered what the phenomenon of people appraisal is about . I only came here because Iâm simply
curious
. After all I was told that itâs possible if itâs
this place
by a certain item appraiser . â (Shuuya)
â⌠Really?â (Kazane)
âYes . By no means did I know that a reincarnator is here⌠and that there were other reincarnators, even if that was 120 years ago . â (Shuuya)
Right after I finished saying thatâ
I sense a fluctuation of magic sources from behind Kazane .
Moreover, itâs several .
I turn my look at the rear of Kazane right away .
I canât see anything but a green spaceâŚ
ââ Kagari-san? Did you never hear the words Curiosity killed the cat?â (Kazane)
I spontaneously got goosebumps .
As if obstructing my view, Kazane mentions a Japanese proverb while looking scary .
To kill a cat⌠. did this old woman mention that after noticing⌠the black cat sleeping inside my overcoatâs hood on my back?
Or does she simply want me to stop looking whether thereâs someone behind her?
The responses that were behind Kazane have already vanished .
I only perceived an instantaneous fluctuation, thus I donât feel them any more .
⌠Itâs on my mind, butâŚ
It canât be helped since Grasping Perception doesnât function overly much in this room thatâs exceedingly overflowing with a magic source .
This is a first .
According to Helmeâs warning, this place might be a special space .
However, I have one more method to search for enemies .
Itâs <Inhalation of Odour TechniquePheremoneâs Touch> of the vampire lineage .
This is an enemy search technique of a special <skill> that differs from Grasping Perception which belongs to the category of <Magic Arts> skills .
Therefore, if I use that skillâŚ
I will be able to completely disclose the fellows lurking behind Kazane and around here .
However, it might be better to not use this skill .
After all I will be troubled if I get once again somehow misunderstood as vampire, wonât I?
Ah! I suppose itâs no misunderstanding though .
The fact of me belonging to the vampire lineage doesnât change .
But, my thoughts digressed .
Well, becoming defiant here and using it is also an option, but I donât know whether these people are enemies or allies . It might also be something I better shouldnât know at this point in time .
I judge that I shouldnât use the skill this time .
â⌠Haha, itâs a type of proverb, right? I like trivia, so itâs something I have heard before . â (Shuuya)
Without showing my thoughts on my face, I let my gaze wander all over in order to deceive her and gave her a safe answer while scratching my head .
Hearing my words, Kazane reveals a relieved expression for some reason .
â⌠Thatâs right . Well then, just now it was turned down, but should I tell your fortune?â (Kazane)
Geez, how pushy .
But then again, I was aware of her smiling a bit .
I donât know whether itâs because of the nature of her job, but this old lady is awfully zealous about divination .
Kazane lifted the corners of her mouth and revealed an eerie smile .
The line of sight of her characteristic black pearl pupils is pointing towards the tarot cards that were placed on the table .
Does she tell someoneâs fortune with these?
Whoaa! What the hell! So much manaâŚ
A ring similar to a dark red sun and a camel-coloured skull have been drawn on the surface of the cards with a delicate brushwork .
Ripples of mana that turn into belt-shaped lines surging from the surface of the drawings were visible .
Itâs a thick mana to the extent of feeling sinister .
For me to not have noticed it until just now despite the cards emitting such manaâŚ
At that moment Helme appeared in my field of vision .
ăYour Excellency, I didnât discover these unique space and circumstances either . Itâs very likely some kind of weapon . ă (Helme)
Iâm sure .
I will decline once more because of my bad premonition and as thereâs Helmeâs advice as well .
âA divination is unnecessary . â (Shuuya)
âIs⌠that so?â (Kazane)
Kazane places her palm on top the round skeleton magic tool similar to an egg and a metronome which was standing next to the tarot cards while talking in an unnaturally doubting manner .
She activated the magic tool .
She also applies a hand to the the strings of the koto that spanned between the dragonâs horns and the cloud horn . (T/N: These are specific koto terms . The dragonâs horn (ryuukaku) is at the top part as saddle of the bridge, whereas the string nut is called âcloud hornâ (unkaku) . Check âkotoâ on wiki . )
Matching with the clocking movements of the metronomeâs bone needle swaying left and right with a âtick-tack-tick-tackâ⌠she pulls a string with her beautiful nail which causes a peculiar tone .
The bridges supporting the strings gave birth to high and low musical intervals .
Each time they are pulled by her pretty nails, the strings are tinged in an ominous black-coloured light . The lantern that has been installed at the dragonâs tongue* repeatedly flickers in black and yellow . (T/N: Another koto term)
The kotoâs melody erased the metronome sound .
Strange waves of mana and sound reverberate as well .
ăâ T-These are psychic waves? But, they are repelled since you are resisting them . ă (Helme)
As Helme says, I have a feeling of sparks scattering in front of me with crackling sounds .
Once I thought about shaking them off a bit since they were annoying, it caused a wrap phenomenon* with a bam and it became quiet . (T/N: rappu genshou = one of the things called psychic or supernatural phenomenon considered to âcreate and reverberate a certain kind of sound from a space, where nothing exists, or a room with no one in itâ)
ă⌠Amazing . You easily repelled it completely . Your Excellency, in case of a counterattack, leave it to me . I will train that cheeky butt of the hag . With a freezing, no, lukewarm stakeâŚă (Helme)
ăâ No, just watch . ă (Shuuya)
ăOkay . ă (Helme)
It was apparently repelled, but that just now were psychic waves?
That damn old hag, she tried to charm me or she intended to swindle me, right�
I stand up from my chair .
â⌠With this I will go back . â (Shuuya)
I tell Kazane expressionlessly .
It was over already, but the clock sounds and the psychic waves, which are similar to mana waves with the tone of a koto, have a strange charm that draws one in, to the degree of wanting to keep listening to them for the whole time .
Kazane is lost for words .
Showing a pale expression, she keeps blinking, twitches and her hands are trembling .
â⌠R-Really? How regretful . Then, the exit is that way . â (Kazane)
Was it unexpected to her for the magic to get repelled?
Even her appraisal, which is an extra skill related to an absolute god, was practically repelled .
In the end thereâs no way that normal magic or skills of humans will affect me .
And, this is equal to having started a magic attack against me .
Itâs a sneak attack during a friendly chat .
Thus, should I beat up the hag and kill her?
But, the fact of her trying to win me over with a brainwashing-like charm in a womanly roundabout manner can also be called an expression of her not intending to be hostile .
Oh well, itâs the first time . She immediately cancelled the mind magic and showed an expression of regret . Though the world is a different one, sheâs still a Japanese person .
Letâs turn a blind eye just once .
â⌠Then, see you . â (Shuuya)
Stressing the end of the sentence like that, I turn around .
I open the door that was in the back and left the room .
Just like the time when I entered, the green candles lit up .
I move my feet swiftly as if turning those lights off and was able to go outside .
ââââ
âFor him to be a reincarnatorâŚâ
The old woman Kazane muttered while looking at the exit of the room .
The green curtain behind the old woman swayed and a group of figures wearing white masks and black clothes appeared in succession .
The shape of the masks on their heads are moulded like foxes with a white color .
They are simple items that have a red, round mark between the eyebrows .
As if worshipping Kazane, all of them simultaneously kneeled down on one knee and bowed their heads .
A person standing at the head among the bowing, black-clothed figures lifts their head .
That person didnât wear a mask, had features that made it easy to identify her as Asian-styled woman and had a round failing mark imprinted on her forehead .
That woman gets up and approaches Kazane .
âDear mother, is that man the one you previously mentioned as the
lancer of chaos
who walks the path of
indiscriminate slaughter
?â
Kazane looks at that woman while sitting .
âYes, Mirai . Thatâs how it is . It was in accordance with <Foresight> . There was a revelation that my <Lineage of Asura> mostly wonât get through that
indiscriminate
. But, for the other party to be a reincarnatorâŚâ (Kazane)
Kazane keeps repeating the same words while obviously looking worried .
She revealed a troubled expression that befits her advanced age and turned her face away from the woman called Mirai .
âDear Mother? That reincarnator, does he have any relation to my father, Sugisaki Ryou?â (Mirai)
Mirai asks in order to pull back the averted gaze of the old woman to herself .
âThereâs no way . His real name is Keith, however itâs been a hundred years ago when I parted with SugisakiâŚâ (Kazane)
âThatâs right, isnât itâŚ?â (Mirai)
Mirai murmured in a whisper and a shadow appeared on her face .
Kazane sternly looks at the face of the depressed Mirai .
âMirai? I told you before, didnât I? Stop being fixated on the past, you father Sugisaki is named a
framework
for reincarnators like the one who just now came here, but they are completely unrelated . â (Kazane)
âIs that so?â (Mirai)
Mirai asked while lowering the ends of her thin eyebrows .
âYes, it is . â (Kazane)
âUnderstood . Excuse me . â (Mirai)
âItâs fine . But for the
lancer of chaos that walks the path of indiscriminate slaughter
, whom I had foreseen, to have appeared in front of me in reality is in any event proof that the
calamity
has started . â (Kazane)
âThen, should we inform
Adolian
-sama of the ăEight Lightsă?â (Mirai)
âThatâs how it will be . However, even if we report to him for the sake of protecting the auction as guard, we have to gather more information⌠He wonât understand with just telling him
lancer of chaos
. â (Kazane)
âYes . â
âTherefore, Mirai, I have a task for you . My power wonât get through the
indiscriminate
. Chase after Shuuya Kagari, the
lancer of chaos
, who will become the next key to the word of
slaughter
and investigate him . â (Kazane)
While saying so, Kazane strengthens her gaze at the woman called Mirai .
âYes, understood . â (Mirai)
Mirai with the conspicuous red mark on her forehead acknowledges obediently .
She placed her hands on her chest and bowed her head as if praying .
âBut, make sure to be careful, okay? That man has ăSpear Arts Level XVIIIă . This level is one that exceeded my imagination⌠itâs the very first time I have learned of such level existing since my birth . You can truly call it a level surpassing god . You might call him the strongest lancer in this world . â (Kazane)
âYes . I was astonished as well . Itâs not a level I can possibly match with my ăDagger Arts Level VIă which were appraised by you, dear mother⌠in addition, itâs a level far surpassing those of the superior divine king-ranked fighters, who are active in competitions, which you told me about quite a while ago, dear mother . â (Mirai)
Kazane quietly nods at Miraiâs remark .
âAlso, the unknown skill called ăDemonic Arts Level IXă, if thatâs a skill system that surpasses ăMagic Artsă, ăSorcery Artsă, ăMana Manipulationă, ăCurse Techniquesă, ăSummoning Magică, ăCrest Artsă and ăAncient Magică which a wizard owns⌠you can assume that person to possess a mental strength and mana that exceeds an archwizard . Besides, he seems to have noticed your guysâ existence in this barrier room with its abundant magic source and the unsteady interstice, you know? Thatâs not normal . Though he glossed it over in a hurryâŚâ (Kazane)
The mask-wearing people stir due to Kazaneâs words .
Mirai was of course equally stunned .
âEh? Really? Even though we should have completely erased our presences, he perceived us? What a presence search abilityâŚâ (Mirai)
Kazane nods agreeing with Mirai while starting to speak .
âRight . That man had an aloof attitude, but I could sense
something
else within his eyes . He even realized the type of magic of my
Magic Talismans
,
Wicked Koto
and
Evil Spirit Sound Waves
by looking at them with a glance and dealt with them . I went as far as attempting the
brainwashing
used for the religious organization⌠it seems he has trained his mental strength considerably as he easily saw through it and repelled it . What a formidable opponent . â (Kazane)
âFor dear mother to fail in this absolute space and for you to fear him, heâs definitely an opponent possessing a
mental strength
and an
observing eye
to that degree, isnât heâŚ? I will be careful while approaching him . â (Mirai)
A tense air was set adrift due to the points mentioned in Miraiâs speech .
Kazane answers after gulping down her saliva in the middle of Miraiâs words .
â⌠Indeed, provoking that lancer of chaos is definitely not allowed⌠I deeply regretted having tried to brainwash him in the middle of it⌠fortunately, I understood through the kotoâs sounds that he wasnât angry⌠if he had been angry, I would have left this city and escaped to a far, far place, even further away than the Elephant God City . â (Kazane)
âDear MotherâŚâ (Mirai)
Mirai sees Kazaneâs state and the color of her face pales .
âMirai, you are the leader of the
War Foxes
of the Asura Religious Organization . Therefore I wonât worry too much about it, but⌠I ask you to monitor Shuuya Kagari properly! I donât care even if you do with organizations besides him as you please, but consider hostile actions towards him to be equal with death . To the bitter end itâs a surveillance . Or get in touch with him and come up with an idea how to build a connection with him . â (Kazane)
âYes!â (Mirai)
âThen go . â (Kazane)
As Kazaneâs words resound, the masked group vanishes .
ââââ
If I go out through here, I will probably be outside the sphere of the gambling district .
As one would expect, the main street is bright . Magic lights are everywhere .
I walked through the bright streets, moved from the northwest to the north and came out at the Second Ring Road .
The First Ring Road is around the corner .
At that moment I sensed presences following me from behind .
A group of magic sources, huh? Not againâŚ!
Dark guild ăOwlâs Fangsă? Or another dark guild?
Franâs thief guild? People related to the religious organization from just now?
Itâs a chance . I donât know whether the other party is male or female⌠Should I use <Inhalation of Odour TechniquePheremoneâs Touch>?
While thinking about that, I pass through the First Ring Road and enter the northwest alley where my inn is located .
ăYour Excellency, some time ago you had talked in a different languageâŚă (Helme)
Helme appeared in my field of vision .
ăUh huh, itâs Japanese . Just remember it as a special language . That old woman is a reincarnator . I guess you can call her someone whose soulâs origin was a different dimension . ă (Shuuya)
ăHow mysterious! Talking about an item said to tear dimensions, is she a person surpassing even god!?ă (Helme)
Helme-san shows a surprised reaction while adopting a weird pose .
ăIâm someone like her as well . ă (Shuuya)
ăHuh!? Then you are a god after all, Your Excellency?ă (Helme)
ăNo . I am me . Iâm a simple woman-loving man who is a spiritually immortal* Light Demon Lucival . ă (Shuuya) (T/N: Author uses here a term signifying the oneness of Brahman and Atoman, 梾ćä¸ĺŚ (bonga ichinyo) . Google it, if interested)
ă⌠Your Excellency, woman-loving I understand, but I wonât be able to comprehend even if you tell me difficult concepts . ă (Helme)
ăIn short, Iâm no god . That hag is no god either . But I guess thereâs no mistake in her appraisal skill being the highest-ranking appraisal directly controlled by godâ Asura . In this world there might be only one or two appraisal skills that can match up with that . ă (Shuuya)
ăI see . So you let her go because sheâs a hag owning an excellent skill, right? Do you intend to make that hag into your subordinate?ă (Helme)
ăThat might happen if I really aimed for a woman-loving skill⌠oi, what are you planning to make me say!?ă (Shuuya)
ă⌠Your Excellency, you arbitrarilyâŚă (Helme)
ăSorry, Iâm just kidding . You just looked silly . I donât think that I will turn the old woman into my subordinate . In the first place, currently Iâm an adventurer . ă (Shuuya)
ăOkay . ă (Helme)
While talking telepathically with Helme, I keep track of the presences tailing me from behind as before at the same time .
They only follow?
It doesnât look like they are coming to attack .
When Iâm walking through the alley while hesitating as to whether I should use <Inhalation of Odour TechniquePheremoneâs Touch> or not, Rollo, who slept at my back, starts squirming around .
Rollo woke up .
âNn, nyaa . â
While purring, Rollo moves from inside the hood to my shoulder .
Jumping down from there, she landed on the ground, extends her front paws as if saying ăYaaawn, I slept reeaally well nyaă and stretches herself .
âRollo, we are very soon at the inn . You can go play around here freely, okay?â (Shuuya)
âNya? nya . â
Rollo meows and runs in the direction of the inn .
âUh, I hope she will be able to find a cat friend in this neighbourhoodâŚâ (Shuuya)
I head towards the inn while smiling .
I ignored the presences in my back and opened the innâs door that had a woodcraft plate with ăLodging Moon of the Labyrinthă written on it .
Thereupon a beautiful singing voice resounds in my ears .
I went to the dining room as if naturally being lured by the clear tone .
A blonde elf stands atop the small stage .
Hee, an elven songstress, huh?
The dining roomâs guests are lost in her beautiful singing while staring at the blonde songstress .
Even the people playing card games are seemingly unable to concentrate on their game . They shift their gazes towards the elven songstress every now and then .
The male troubadour, who performed here last time, isnât present .
I wonder whether he got fired?
Certainly, the the singing voice of this elven woman is amazing . Itâs absolutely superb .
The lyrics told a story about a large deer and a fawn falling in love after meeting in the vicinity of a large spring on a mist-laden early morning .
Somehow it directly stirs my heart . The timbre goes through the hearing and directly heals the mind .
Sheâs a beauty . Her two mounds are large and splendid, a big-breasted type woman .
Sheâs just like a diva .
The singing of the elven woman is beautiful as well . There are accessories at her ears and neck, mmh? The blue gem of the necklace that is twined around her neck is shining?
I guess some kind of magic gem as those often found on magic wands and such?
Once I checked the bottom of her neck with Magic Observation, I discovered that it reacted to her singing voice while intensifying the mana at her neck as it was releasing ripple-like mana to the surroundings .
ăYour Excellency, this singing voice is released through mana . It might be a kind of spell . ă (Helme)
Hoo, if the spirit Helme says so, itâs likely true .
ăThere comes no harm from it, right?ă (Shuuya)
ăYes . It seems to be the singing voice of a fairy . It triggers a good feeling . ă (Helme)
I see . I considered her natural voice to have a magical attribute, but for it to actually be a magic singing voice, eh?
She heals the adventurers through her song? Is this actually a service of the inn?
The songâs magic seems to have a satisfactory effect .
Even in my previous world, different frequencies apparently could have a healing or unpleasant effect, right?
Has this song an apocalyptic sound as the ending?
I remember such occult-like stories existing .
⌠For a while I am enveloped by the singing voice magic .
The wonderful show ends . When I try to sit down on a seat to order food, I am called by a guest who played a card game .
âItâs been a while . I wonder whether you remember me?â
âHmph, itâs been a long time, hasnât it, lancer?â
Itâs a middle-aged man possessing sharp, deep brown pupils and sunken-in eye sockets .
A man with a trademark-like mustache while wearing a long hat .
And, in addition, a blue-haired woman?
Those eyes and mustache⌠I do remember!
I recalled .
The guys of the dark guild that invited me in Hekatrail .
â⌠Yes, I remember you . You are the people I met in ăHekatrailă, arenât you?â (Shuuya)
âCorrect . Iâm happy . You were able to remember us, huhâŚ? After that we have heard
rumours
about you, the lancer . â
Rumours, ehâŚ
I wonder whether those are about the Evil Dragon King subjugation or the Holkerbaum case?
âYou know, even if Iâm told thatâŚâ (Shuuya)
âWell, donât say that . Wonât you sit down and have a chat with us while eating to celebrate the reunion with your
old friends
?â
âSit down just like Papa told you!â
Whoâs an old friend of yours!
He has a broad smile plastered on his face, but itâs a questionable expression and heâs too much of a dandy with his curled mustache .
But, well, that doesnât mean that we will fight . Guess itâs fine?
âSure, letâs have a chat as
old friends
. â (Shuuya)
I tried getting on with the invitation .
âOh my, you are also quite eager, arenât you, lancer? How unexpected . â
The blue-haired woman with the foul mouth, huh?
To be honest, I forgot the name of this woman, but since her hair and face are pretty, she has left an impression .
If I remember correctly, she used a blue, special longsword .
âSo,
why
are you guys in this city, and moreover in this inn?â (Shuuya)
I immediately try asking about the crux of the matter .
âYou know, due to certain twists and turnsâŚâ
âThatâs right! It was an ordeal . â
Hee, it looks they also had various deep storiesof a dark guild to share .
Oh well, I guess I will listen to them while eating my food .
