Chapter 186 Sheet Ghost
Part 1
I find it hard to believe that many very high level Treasure Hunters work solo because their companions can’t keep up with their talents or that they say that they are too strong, so they will work solo.
Don’t they ever get scared of adventuring by themselves? Even though I am so scared, despite being protected by a Party and wearing “Safe Rings (Barrier Rings)”.
The mission went so well that the first two days seemed like it was fake. Maybe it really is because with the Emperor and me, you will have minus multiplied by minus making it a plus.
After conversing together, the team 《Abyssal Pot (Shin En Nabe)》 (Named by me), understood each other and had no gap at all.
The way they *batabata* knocked down all the Monsters that came, made me feel completely safe, even for a cowardly person like me, it was impeccable. As usual, by being next to the Emperor’s carriage, I was pretending to be the last line of defense and only cheering them on, because the power of 《Abyssal Pot (Shin En Nabe)》 was so thorough that they allowed me to do so.
In particular, many Members of this time 《Abyssal Pot (Shin En Nabe)》 are Magi. The range and destructive power of a Magi’s offensive Magic generally increase in proportion to the skill of the Magi, but the Magi in the Party this time are undoubtedly top-notch.
Most of the Monsters were annihilated as soon as they entered our sight. It is often said that Magi are weak in close combat, but I would like to chastise anyone who says that. How are you planning to get close to them with all their offensive Magic bombarding you?
What stood out, in particular, was Kechakchakka’s…… Or maybe not, it was Term, the 《Still Water (Shisui)》, offensive Magic.
You might say that it is as expected of someone who has an Alias, but now that I have watched Term’s offensive magic at a close distance, it has a different quality even to me who has seen Lucia’s various Magic.
It is not that it was more powerful or larger in scale. Compared to Lucia’s Magic, Term’s offensive magic is…… Much more 『Discrete』.
It was so discrete and in addition powerful enough for your needs.
The bracelet on both of his arms seemed to be assisting him on activating his Magic, but there was hardly any preliminary movement. If you say it is practical, you are probably right, and I suppose I should admire it because it is the result of a lot of studies, but the more I look at it, the more terrifying his Magic seems to be.
It is an improbable story, but if he were an assassin, he could easily get the Emperor’s head. Depending on the situation, he might be even scarier than 《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》 “Baa-san (Grandma)”, who uses ridiculously powerful and ridiculously flashy Magic. Isn’t there any decent Member in 《Hidden Curse (Ma Tsue)》!
I am once again exhausted, even though I don’t do anything special. So I headed to the room I was assigned.
The schedule was going extremely well. Tomorrow we should reach the city where the airship depot is located. According to Franz-san, if we kept going like this, we would arrive a few extra days in advance. It seems that the schedule was originally planned while having a few-day margin.
The inn was nice and the food was good too. It is almost like a vacation. That was what I told myself, but I couldn’t avoid the heartache that was building up.
If Liz and the others were here, I would at least feel a little bit better…… This time, Sytry, who I always rely on, wasn’t here, so I had to deal with things when I was called.
I wanted to leave the leadership to Term, but I don’t know what the 《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》 would say if I overworked him. Help me.
I unlock the door and enter the room.
On a side note, I am the type of person who, when I stay at an inn on a trip like this, I would, first of all, check all the facilities in the room. It is not that I am concerned about security or anything, but it is just in my nature.
When I opened the nearby closet like always, Liz was inside, *nikoniko* smiling and waving at me.
I involuntarily smiled and closed the closet.
………… Inns these days have been giving me quite a hateful staging, no?
The closet vigorously opened from the inside and a pink-blonde, tan girl jumped out. She *pyon* jumped at me, and while she was *kyakya* squealing, she pushed me onto the king-size bed while I didn’t understand the situation.
A soft, sinking feeling pushed over my body. I somehow managed to let out a voice as Liz leaned over me.
“Wh-Why are you here?” (Cry)
“I came over! I thought~ Cry-chan might be lonely~!” (Liz)
Liz rubbed her head against my chest, while her eyes were shining.
So you didn’t have any reason…… No well, thanks to Sytry’s sign, I knew that you were following me, though.
While I was *guchiguchi* ruffling Liz’s hair to comfort myself, I said.
“…… I am glad, but this is bad.” (Cry)
The last few days have been manageable thanks to Term’s efforts, but I still haven’t recovered from my mistakes on the first day. I haven’t been able to escape Franz-san’s steep gaze either.
At this point, I don’t know how they will look at me if they find out that Liz was here despite me not bringing her with me. No, I am happy, though? I am happy, but, you know…
The reason Sytry and the others aren’t here is probably because Liz came on her own. No one can completely control her actions.
At least if it was at night after everyone was asleep and nobody was there, I could give her some time, but now I still have some work to do. It isn’t a big job, but it isn’t good that Liz is here.
However, Liz didn’t listen to me at all. She rubbed her body against mine like a wolf cuddling its master after a long while. Maybe she arrived before us and had taken a shower, her hair smelled good.
And at that moment, there was a violent slam at my door.
“Yowaningen! Don’t just go ahead by yourself, desu! Let’s quickly get today’s recharging done, desu! After that, give me those nuts again――” (Kruz)
The carpet that entered inside the room with me was spinning vertically near the door as if it was in dismay. Now I am very grateful that the carpet doesn’t have a mouth.
But it is bad. It will be bad if she is seen. Kruz isn’t the kind of person who can deceive someone and she probably doesn’t intend to in the first place.
Maybe because she didn’t have any ill will, Liz didn’t show any sign of being impatient and just shook my body.
When I pushed Liz back and got up, I immediately ripped the sheet off the bed and put them over her. The door opened almost at the same time as I did that.
Apparently, I forgot to lock the door.
I didn’t even have time to speak up. Kruz stepped inside with a sullen look on her face, looked at me, saw the mass of sheets *mozomozo* squirming at my side, and stared in wonder.
“??????” (Kruz)
“Y-Yosh, I will count on you for the rest. Come on, now go back to where you belong.” (Cry)
TL notes:
Thanks for reading!
Cry what were you planning to do with Liz in the night when there is no one around, heh? ( ?° ?? ?°)
And did Kruz just ask for those nuts again!? And how will Kruz react to Liz, who is under Cry’s sheet, coming in Cry’s room
Tchao à plus!
