Chapter 51 Ice cream

Part 2

“Did you hear anything else, Tino?” (Cry)

“Eh...? Emh... Something like, there was another research facility next to another Shrine... Ah, and later, it seems there might be a base of operation inside the Capital, so they are launching a large-scale investigation... But it seems that they haven’t found it yet...” (Tino)

... Isn’t that a big deal.

When I heard that the story seemed to have unexpectedly blown out, I curve my eyebrow.

What I am afraid of is that I haven’t received any information on it at all. Well, it is true that even if I heard about it, I can’t do anything about it. But, I have at least a connection to all of this and for the time being, still the Clan Master, I don’t think it is good to leave your friend in the dark.

“Maybe I shouldn’t have let those people from the “Rabbit Club (Rabbi-ken)” go?” (Cry)

In the first place, they weren’t Rabbit Researchers... Would a magic organization really study rabbits?

No matter how I think about them, they were just a group of funny people. What should I have done? Enough, I am not going to rename the “Rabbit Club (Rabbi-ken)”.

To me who was too late to have those regrets, Tino opened her eyes and shook her head.

“N... No! Because Master has his own idea in mind.” (Tino)

“Eh... No, it was the first time I heard of the “Tower of Akasha (Akasha no To)”.”

“...As expected of Master, what a funny joke. No Hunters in the Imperial Capital don’t know about them. It is also on the top of the list of the most dangerous organization published by the Explorer Assoc.” (Tino)

There are no Hunters in the Imperial Capital who don’t know about them? So, if you reverse think about it, doesn’t that mean I am no longer a Hunter?

I was trying to retire but before I knew it, I was already retired. The End?

I sighed deeply and decided to throw everything out of my head for the time being.

“Seems like my eyes can’t see anything at all. Well, for the time being, I will start to think about it after eating an ice cream.” (Cry)

“Yes! Master~!” (Tino)

The only healing point was Tino who replied cheerfully with a face that wasn’t thinking about any of this.

The ice cream shop, which was found using Eva’s unique connection, was a hidden store that even I, who checked every sweet store, didn’t know about.

It couldn’t be helped, the Imperial Capital is big, and I wouldn’t go to the 『Abandoned Area』. But I am disqualified as a sweet master. In truth, I am so frustrated about this.

And it seems that it is a famous store in the 『Abandoned Area』.

“Why are you here... Go... Go back.” (Man)

“Ah, wait...” (Cry)

The curtain closed and you can hear fluttering sounds coming from inside. Did he topple over something, you can hear small screams.

It wasn’t like I was going to eat you... Is my reputation that bad?

Tino blinked her eyes and tilted her head.

“Was it someone you know?” (Tino)

“Umh... I think I might have met him or maybe not...” (Cry)

He wasn’t one of the “Rabbit Club (Rabbi-ken)”. He also isn’t a Clan Member. When he saw my face, he became pale, isn’t it too rude?

I curved my eyebrows for a while, but I immediately thought of someone.

“Ah... It is the man who passed by Liz, a few days ago.” (Cry)

“... Eh?” (Tino)

The man was pulled down and almost killed because he was watching us. There is no helping it if he was scared.

I was thinking of apologizing the next time I met him. Who would have thought he was a clerk at an ice cream shop...? It is a strange fate.

The money I brought for the donation was likely going to become his medical fees. Well, it is fine after all.

I spoke up while knocking over and over again.

“I am really sorry for that time. I want to apologize, please open the door, please. Ah, I will come again with Liz to apologize. Please open the door!” (Cry)

I knocked over and over again. I waited for an hour in front of the store, but the reply never came nor was the curtain opening. Why...

TL notes:

Here’s part 2 Thanks for reading this!

Am I the only one who thought of Area 11 in Code Geass when they say Abandoned Area? XD

What are the odds of Cry meeting the one who was attacked by Liz because he was tailing them in chapter 31? But wait... wasn’t he one member of Rabbit Fellow. XD

Why was he so frustrated? Doesn’t that mean Cry walk upon something in this ice cream store! You will know more in the next chapter!

Tchao à plus!
