CH 305

Episode 305: The search begins

We arrive at a Japanese airport with Luck's Shadow Transfer.

"Luck-chan has become so convenient that I can't let go of it."

"Truly."

I and Nanami mutter deeply.(TN:Not sure why it's listed in that order, I thought only Nanami and maybe the other girls called Luck with 'chan', but this makes it seem like Fuhito is ...)

Only the Americas are too far away to teleport directly, but if we go via Russia on the Eurasian continent, we can teleport across, so there are virtually no places we can't go with Luck.

It takes a few seconds for one Shadow Transfer. A few minutes to repeat it ten times. It's like a calculation error to move several thousand kilometers.

If the teleportation distance increases from now on, it will be possible to teleport directly, so at that time I think it will be possible to teleport anywhere in the world in one shot. I look forward to that time.

"Well then, let's go see the Saint's luggage."

"Yeah, right."

We step into the airport.

"Excuse me, I would like to meet the person in charge, is that possible?"

"Eh, ah, I'm sorry. Please wait a moment."

When Rei presents her guild card to the receptionist and speaks to them, they hurriedly call the extension.

"Thank you for waiting. My name is Naito, the person in charge. You wanted to talk to me?"

A man in his fifties appeared a few minutes later. He had gray hair and a stocky build.

"Hello. It's a bit complicated to talk about here, so I'd prefer somewhere a little more secluded."

"Understood. Please come this way."

As expected, seeing as it is a top-secret request, we can't talk about it in such a public place, so we decide to move to another room.

"We have measures against eavesdropping here, and no one but me will hear, so what do you need to ask me?"

"Understood. If I say Saint, would you understand?"

"Yeah, yes. Is that the case. I will bring you her luggage, so could you wait for a while?"

"Thank you very much."

We all sit down once in a place that looks like a reception room, but when Naito-san hears Rei's words, he immediately realizes what she means when she says that we are searching for the whereabouts of the Saint. He leaves the room once and comes back with a large carry case.

"This is the luggage of Saint-sama."

"Thank you very much. I'll take a look."

Rei stands up and opens the carry case.

"This is ... Japanese anime goods?"

When we stand up and surround the case and look inside, we find a large amount of Japanese anime goods stuffed in addition to the luggage necessary for the trip.

"Saint-sama seems to like Japanimation very much."

"I feel like I have a sense of intimacy."

I still don't know anything about the Saint's personality, so I thought she was a very prudish person, but looking at the contents of her luggage, she doesn't seem to be that way, so I feel a sense of closeness.

"Ah, isn't this 'Moblin Slayer'!! I like it too."

It came out when Rei was searching through the luggage. Moreover, her hobby overlaps with mine, and I feel that I can get along well with the Saint.(TN:This hobby that came out of nowhere that Fuhito has never mentioned or shown any interest in before.)

"How is it?"

"Won!"

I had Luck quietly sniff while we surrounded the luggage, and when I check with Luck a little, it replies that it remembers it with a small cry that only I can hear.

"Rei."

"Understood."

Rei is still looking around the luggage, but when I call out to her, she meets my gaze, understands my intentions, and nods.

"Thank you very much. It was helpful."

"I would appreciate it if you could help her. Please find the Saint-sama as soon as possible."

"Understood."

Rei puts the luggage back in place and stands up to express her gratitude to Naito-san. Naito-san smiles and lowers his head deeply.

I guess he has a lot of things on his mind.

We leave the airport and return to Germany.

"Well then, Luck. Please try to find the person in this photo around the country here."

I show Luck a picture of the Saint and a world map, and use my thoughts to give instructions.

"Won!"

Luck, who looks at the photo and the map for a while, looks at my face and barks a cheerful reply as if to say 'leave it to me'.

"Yoshi yoshi. I'm counting on you."

I stroke Luck's face.

"I hope this gives some sort of clue."

"Although there are quite a lot of Luck's Kagema, they are insignificant compared to the total population of the world. Considering that, I think it will take a while to find her."

Rei, who had been watching the exchange with Luck, mutters in a voice that seems somewhat expectant, so I stand up and remind her just in case.

The land where billions of people live is searched by millions of Kagema, so even if it looks like a lot, it's not a number that can find someone right away.

Of course, the number of Kagema is increasing from time to time, so I'm sure we'll find her sooner or later.

"Maa, it should be overwhelmingly faster than searching with almost nothing, so let's pray that everything is okay."

"That's right."

At my words, Rei looks up at the sky and lightly mutters with a distant look, so I nod.

"What are we going to do now? Will Rei also move to gather information?"

"No, I think it's probably more efficient to leave it to Luck and continue exploring the dungeon rather than moving without any information."

"Got it."

Following Rei's words, we decide to continue our usual research trip until we gather more information.

"Luck-chan, mofumofu ~ ."

"Mofumofu."

By our side, Nanami and Shia are playing with Luck.
