Chapter 50-Reunion and Encounter

(TL:By Rafael)

"Sen-Sensei......!"(Silk)

"Yuki!"(Marina)

Silk and Marina froze in surprise as they opened the door to the "Singing Fawn" pavilion.

"I'm home. Lung is safe too..."(Yuki)

They laughed a little and then jumped on me and hugged me and Lung together.

It was a light shock, but I felt a weight that made me realize I was back, so I returned the hug softly.

"I was worried about you."(Silk)

'I'm really, really glad you're safe ......'(Marina)

I pat their heads with both hands and look around.

It's kind of strange. There was no sign of Nene or Rain.

And what was that tense atmosphere the moment I opened the door?

"What's going on?"(Yuki)

Silk, who seemed to have regained her composure, pulled out a letter.

"Rain hasn't been home since two days ago. ....... and we just got this."(Silk)

She took the letter and looked at Marina, who, sensing her intention, took Lung with her into the back of the room.

After confirming this, I looked down at the letter.

'I might be able to get a lead on Yuki. I'm going to go for a bit. Don't worry.'

The short sentence was indeed in Rain's handwriting, but it was a little disorganized, as if she had written it in a hurry.

'Who delivered this?"(Yuki)

'He called himself Bran Crowder. I think he might be related to Rain."(Silk)

"That man. ......!"(Yuki)

He's playing me for a fool.

Of all the people to take advantage of me.

Damn you, you son of a bitch. It really makes me realize how inadequate you are as a human being.

Silk, who saw me silent with the letter in my hand, opened her mouth again.

Rain has to go home now. He also said that if you want to talk to him, come to the Mastoma residence in the central district. I didn't know what to ...... do!"(Silk)

I brush her silky hair, which makes her voice tremble.

They must have worked very hard until I got back.

I'm the leader, and it's my job from here on out.

"Calm down, Silk. I'll go get her. I'm going to ask you to pass on a message to the guild."(Yuki)

"A message?"(Silk)

"Yeah. Tell them that Rain has been kidnapped and that I am on my way to Prince Mastoma's mansion to deal with the situation, and ask them to discuss how to deal with the situation."(Yuki)

The Adventurers' Guild will also want to interview me about what happened to "Glad Shi-Im.

But before that, I had to go pick up Rain.

It would be a disgrace for me as a leader if I left her in trouble because of my absence.

"I understand. Nene has gone ahead to check on the situation. Please meet her there."(Silk)

"I understand. You take care of the rest."(Yuki)

"Okay. Take care."(Silk)

Silk, who had regained her composure, gave a small nod.

I smiled back at her and was about to head for the door when Marina's voice stopped me.

"Wait, Yuki!"(Marina)

In my hand, I hold a towel and a scroll of magic.

" Here's a wet towel, and ...... "Startup Check." "(Marina)

While handing me the towel, Marina activates the magic scroll.

A small puff of warm air blew over me, and I noticed that my wet and muddy clothes were now completely clean.

I had never heard of such a useful magic scroll either.

"It's a magic scroll scroll for girls, given to me by the publicist of "Earthsea's". It's a little something for safekeeping, but I couldn't let Yuki go in there looking dirty."(Marina)

"Oh, thank you."(Yuki)

I wipes my face and hair with a wet towel and hand it back to Marina.

"About Rain, please. I'm sure she's got a lot on his mind. But I'm worried about her."(Marina)

"I understand. I'll bring her back. Then we will do ......."(Yuki)

"a party to celebrate."(Marina)

I could see the trust in Marina's eyes as she laughed at my words.

Well, I can't not respond to this.

"Well, I'm off."(Yuki)

Waving to them lightly, I left the "singing fawn" pavilion to which I had just returned.

◆

I walked down the main street, heading for the residence of Prince Mastoma.

The main street of the trading city was full of people, and some of them looked back at me as I passed them.

I had no choice about this.

I've given up trying to stand out in my red adventuring outfit, the Warlock Tabard,

Besides, I was in a hurry. I don't have time to worry about every little thing.

"Here or ......."(Yuki)

I saw the place I was aiming for, just one street over from the main street.

The architecture of Duna is often covered with sarmutary architecture, but the scale and style of the royal villa is different.

Surrounded by high walls, it had only one gate. Naturally, there are soldiers standing guard.

"Halka-Mari."(Yuki)

I call out to the dark-skinned Salmutarian-looking guard, who is holding a uniquely shaped spear.

Rain had pointed out to me earlier that I had misspoken ......, but I wondered if I was getting through to him correctly.

"...... Yuki Ferdio?"(Guard)

The guard, who has checked me from head to toe, calls my name with a slightly different intonation.

"Doruse, order, al. Kochida."(Guard)

"What?"(Yuki)

I am a little taken aback when I see the guard urging me to follow him in a few words of Welmerian.

I had assumed that if push came to shove, I could force my way through.

But did they know I was coming if they gave the order?

What in the world was going on?

I followed the guards through the luxurious Salmutian-style mansion.

It is not impossible that this is a trap, but it is a tiger hole that I intend to step into ...... originally.

After passing through several courtyards and corridors, the guard stops when he reaches a double-opening door at the far end.

'Wazan ukee. Nai-Multi, Cas."(Guard)

That's all he says at the door, and the guard leaves.

Before I could even begin to think about what to do, the door in front of me opened slowly and without a sound.

"Please, come this way."(Yuki)

A woman in light clothing, who I found a little difficult to look at, urged me inside in fluent Welmerian.

She urged me to enter, and I timidly walked into the room.

The room was circular in shape, the essence of the Salmutaria style, with a large skylight in the ceiling and a raised carpet on the floor.

And in the center of the room - a huge cushion-like thing that could not be called a bed or a sofa - sat the master of the mansion with several women in attendance.

...... Is this man the Mastoma Salmutaria?

I kneel down on the spot and hang my head.

(TL:What about storming the place)

The fact that it was a sudden visit was more than enough to be considered disrespectful.

And since I had entered the apartment uninvited and unobserved, the least I could do was to show some courtesy.

"Wakti, Wanaa Ghassan ─ ......"(Yuki)

"Wellmerian is fine. No mumbling."(Mastoma)

Prince Mastoma interrupted me and turned his glaring gaze on me.

"What can I do for you? Yuki Ferdio."(Mastoma)

The words come to me with a cold pressure.

I'm not here to be intimidated by anyone .......

Perhaps that's why I was able to respond to him without hesitation.

"I would like to ask you to return Rain."(Yuki)

TL Note- Now it's some action and reaction time....
