Chapter 101 Execution?

Part 1

“He disappeared, you say...!? What do you mean!?”

“Ehm. Arnold-san, there was this in the toilet ――”

I took the folded paper that my companion brought and opened it.

The paper is a bank check. However, there were some scribbles in the place where the amount should be written on.

―― I am busy, so I am going home.

Arnold lost his words.

“It seems that he escaped by using the window in the toilet...”

“Wasn’t that guy, Level 8?”

While clenching my teeth, I crushed the check.

Not a single instant, I would have thought that he would run away. If my opponent was just an ordinary Hunter or person, I might have been wary of that but this time, the opponent is genuinely a powerful man who has been certified at a Level above Arnold in the Hunter’s Holy Land.

How could a Hunter who cares about their honor, think about escaping from a window in the toilet. Moreover, we haven’t exchanged any blows yet.

I raise my face and look at the expression of the two who were staring at us.

When Arnold first came to the Imperial Capital, he played by the book by investigating prominent Hunters, Parties and Clan of this Country.

Of course, among his investigation the name of 《Hidden Curse》 was among them.

The two in front of me are Members of a famous Mages group. They are still young but they are opponents we can’t underestimate.

Arnold and his companions had the advantage in the numbers. Initially, they should have been in a position to abandon him, but the man who called himself Altobaran didn’t change his expression even after we got that note and then snorted while declaring confidently.

“What is that look? Listen very well, bumpkin. A true powerful man ―― Doesn’t so easily pull out his sword.”

“Does the Level 8 of this Imperial Capital... Run away by using the toilet’s window?”

Are you fine with this Zebrudia!?

Arnold’s purpose is to retaliate against 《Absolute Shadow》 who quarreled with his Party. There was no point to stay here as their Leader 《Infinite Variety》 was gone.

Marie and Altobaran’s attire were nicely tailored but didn’t look combat ready at all.

However, a good Mage can fight to some extent even without weapons.

If you observed them closely, not only Altobaran was grinning but Marie, who was behind him, was also already combat ready.

If you are a Member of 《Hidden Curse》, then you can use magic as if you were breathing.

When I left the Clan Master room and went downstairs, I encountered Liz.

As usual, she has the same healthy Hunter look. When she sees me, a smile blossoms on her face and approaches me.

“Ah, Cry-chan! You come at the right time! There is something I would like to consult with you ――”

If it was a consultation, I will listen to as many consultations as you want to but will the story... Be long?

I don’t have time. Anyway, I have to run away before anyone has more trouble for me.

The faster I am, the faster I will have an excuse to refuse the invitation for the 『White Swords Gathering』and one moment can lead to life and death in this kind of situation.

I put my hand on Liz’s shoulder and I make sure that I can have a secret talk while descending the stairs.

“I will listen to your consultation later. Liz, do you have anything planned later on?”

“Eh? Hmmmm...... Not particularly? Is there something?”

This was an expected answer. Most of the time, Liz doesn’t refuse my invitation.

I skipped the preamble and resumed briefly.

“I am leaving the Imperial Capital. Follow me.”

Liz opened her eyes and put her hand around her waist. Her face gets closer to mine and a faint sweet scent drifts in the air.

Her moisturized lips open smally and she answers with a whispering voice.

“Roooger. And the purpose?”

Purpose...? Escape? Desertion? Strategic retreat?

All of them are correct but I don’t want to say that.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Arnold did you think that Aarun doesn’t have close combat magic to fight pfff what kind of third rate mage do you think they are...

I wonder what kind of lie will Cry say to Liz to cover the fact that he just want to run away XD

Tchao à plus.

Danmachi Episode 1 Review Corner

Spoiler Warning!

1st episode of Danmachi was out yesterday!

Great episode to start, I was worried that they would end the episode at Bell going back to the dungeon by skipping the investigation and the other member night talk but they did animated it, noice.

Weine was soooo cute! And the Haruhime and Weine scene right into my kokoro!

If I had to say a bad point was those Hestia’s boobs shot each time she appeared...

But I sure hope they keep this quality!
