CH 114

“Isabella’s Ancestors and the Future of Nagartinya.”

“It is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Isabella, and I am the guildmaster of the Adventurers’ Guild here in Orargrand. It is a great honor for me to meet the great sage.”

The flatulent Isabella began to say things like that. I mean, was Nagartinya really that great?

“Rolando-kyun? What’s with that ‘why is this person so respected’ look of disdain? Ah, but that’s just as thrilling, so I guess it’s okay if I say so myself.”

This was it. What was there to respect in this man, whose nature, values, and everything else was so rotten? The only thing I could admit was that she was stronger than me now.

Well, she had a nice face, so if she kept her mouth shut, she might look like a beautiful girl, but she couldn’t hide the fact that she was rotten from the soul, so in any case, she was still a person I didn’t want to be close to.

“Boy! Who do you think this person is!?”

“She’s just a shota-loving loli hag. Well, I guess she’s got a little bit of skill, but that’s only for a short time until I eventually get to beat her.”

“This rude fellow!”

Isabella, who was furious at my too-honest opinion, swung her staff at me, but she could not reach me with such an attack, and I easily avoided it. If a third party were to hear these words, they might be considered abusive, but Nagartinya, the person in question, didn’t seem to mind at all.

Well, she probably thought it was cute compared to the abuse I’d spewed over the three years I’d spent with her. No, I bet she even thought of it as a reward.

Isabella, who had given up lecturing me, began to flatter Nagartinya again, and what she had to say was rather interesting.

“Great Sage, my ancestor five generations ago was a disciple of the Great Sage, and does the name Hecate ring a bell?”

“Is the Hecate I know that Hecate? A girl with long purple hair and a huge pointy hat. She also had really big boobs.”

“It is certainly that Hecate.”

According to the story, Isabella began to tell, about 250 years ago, the demon race declared war on humans and a large-scale invasion broke out to bring humans under their control. The human nations were driven into a tight corner by the onslaught.

Just when it seemed that there was no one to stop the invasion, a girl appeared. With her appearance, the demons were instantly outnumbered, and they succeeded in driving back the demon race with a decisive blow that destroyed the Demon Lord of the time.

At that time, there was a female wizard who followed Nagartinya, who was apparently Hecate, the ancestor of Isabella for five generations.

After defeating the demons, Nagartinya holed herself up in the dungeons of Orargrand, and Hecate, her disciple, passed on what she learned from Nagartinya to her own disciples in order to pass on her own power as a magician to future generations.

“That girl. She was a very serious girl. She had big boobs, so she was popular with boys, but she always said, ‘I’m devoted to my master’. Ah, but just for the sake of her honor, Hecate had no intention of doing so.”

“No, I’m not worried about that. If she had any intention to do so, why does the old lady Isabella exist…..?”

“Ah, I see. That’s also true. Fufufu.”

I wondered why she emphasized one physical part of her memories with Hecate a little bit, but I was convinced when I saw her breasts. I won’t state the specifics, but if I might just say one thing, Nagartinya’s were indeed small…..

“Rolando-kyun? What do you think you’re thinking just then?”

“I’m thinking that your boobs are small.”

“To think that you would hit me so straight…as expected of Rolando-kyun, I’m numb to it, I yearn for it!”

“Noisy!”

Then, Nagartinya was reminiscing about Hecate with Isabella, but the good time flew by and before I knew it, quite a bit of time had passed.

What I was doing during that time was working out a plan for the next product to be sold at Greg Trading Company. I decided that the next product would be that one after all…

“It’s already this late. Well, time flies when you’re having fun, doesn’t it?”

“That’s true. I’m going home now. Let’s meet again when we get a chance.”

“I look forward to that day.”

After making sure they had finished saying goodbye, I left the room without saying a word. I had been thinking that they didn’t need me, but since the idea for the product was coming together nicely, I decided to stay where I was.

“Well, I guess it’s about time for dinner…”

“Yes, where should we eat?”

I gave her a full-on stare with the thought, “Why are you here?” but still he tilted his head and said, “What’s wrong?” Damn, she looked pretty good.

“Hey, Nagartinya, what are you going to do now?”

“…What do you mean?”

“You came out to this world outside of your barrier, so that means you have a new purpose, right? Or did you come out of there without a purpose?”

“…….”

Nagartinya answered my pursuit with silence. However, the silence told me that my question was right.

She had spent her life alone up to now, and it would not be a bad idea for her to take a look around and see what the world was like in this day and age. Even if she got into trouble, there were not many things that could beat her.

“Well, anyway, after being cooped up all this time, why don’t you go sightseeing in this world? My purpose is to see the world, too, by the way.”

“Then, when I’m done with my business, let’s go see the world together—”

“I refuse!!”

“I haven’t finished yet though!?”

I wasn’t joking. What kind of shame play was it to work with such a rotten corpse…or rather, a girl. Besides, I like to travel alone. I didn’t want to go the route of a hero who leads a harem slow life with cute girls, like in some otherworldly fantasy novels.

“Then let’s do it this way. How about you and I go to different places, and then we get together years from now and brag about where we’ve been?”

“That’s good. Yeah, I like that. Well then, for our final goodbye, hug and kiss me deeply—fugaa”

“Don’t you know anything about learning……?”

She was a joke until the very end, but strangely enough, I didn’t dislike her comedic banter with this person. That didn’t mean I wanted to hang out with her all the time, though….

After that, Nagartinya rolled on the floor and twitched after being hit by my iron claw, but I pretended I didn’t see her and went home after having dinner at Summer Sunlight Through The Trees.
