Chapter 124 A Certain Vacation 5

Part 2

The one who called us out was a tall, mature man with a sharp look in his eyes. Maybe he had been out shopping, he was carrying a paper bag in both hands.

His clothes were made of cloth, but his appearance and muscles all over his body showed that he was a warrior ―― Moreover I understand that he is a High-Class one. His skin was tanned and his long gray hair was tied in a bun. Considering his age, he was probably a much more experienced Hunter than Ruda.

He isn’t as intimidating as Absolute Shadow, but he isn’t an ordinary person.

“............ Who the hell are you?

Gilbert replied bluntly. There wasn’t any malice in it. Ruda, who had known him for a certain amount of time, understands it. Gilbert ―― Just doesn’t know any other attitude except this one.

However, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they will get it.

For a moment, Ruda nervously tensed up, but the man didn’t seem to care about that. He just looked at Ruda and the others as if he was inspecting them and his mouth relaxed into a smile.

“I’m sorry if I was abrupt. I just overheard your voice...... We, too, had business ―― With 《Infinite Variety》.

“............ For now, can you tell us your name? You are in the same line of work, right? I am ―― Ruda Rumbeck. And you are?”

It is still too early to be relieved, but it wasn’t as if we couldn’t communicate with each other.

“Kukuku, right. These days, I haven’t had a lot of opportunities where I’m asked my name, sorry about that. As you had guessed, I work in the same line of industry. I am Hay Laria. Led by Arnold-san, I am the vice-Leader of 《Lightning Dragon’s Mist (Fallen Mist)》, Hay Laria.”

The man replied with an intrepid smile to Ruda, who was wary when introducing herself.

§

It was just a coincidence that Hay Laria heard those words.

Fighting against the Lightning Spirits in the town of Elan. Then a fierce battle with numerous monsters, including Orcs, had put 《Lightning Dragon’s Mist (Fallen Mist)》 in a bad state.

The carriage they bought is damaged, they used up most of their consumables including potions and the members of their group are still physically and mentally exhausted. Their weapons were either worn down or destroyed due to the fight, so it needed to be maintained or replaced.

The town of Elan and the town of Gula had given them rewards, so they weren’t that much in financial trouble, but there were several things in this world that can’t be solved with money alone.

Hay listened to their story while walking. At first, they seemed to be wary, but perhaps it was a good thing he revealed himself first, or perhaps because they were in the same boat, they soon seemed to open up and told him their purpose.

“I see...... Gladys’ territory...... A noble...... We heard that he was on vacation, but to think that he would treat a noble’s request as a vacation......”

“He was supposed to be in this town, but it was a miss......”

Ruda frowned as if she was in trouble at Hay sincere and shocked words.

A letter delivery. It was fortuitous that he learned their destination. Even in the case where they can’t retrace his step, if they ambushed him there, they will be able to meet him at some point.

While having a conversation, Hay thought of their next course of action in his mind when Gilbert, who was walking next to him, spoke.

Unlike Ruda, Gilbert seemed to not care about their request and seemed more interested in talking about Hay and 《Lightning Dragon’s Mist (Fallen Mist)》.

“Eeeh, to think that a Level 7 Hunter would be after that guy too. Ossan-tachi1, Level 7 is really strong right? I saw, that battlefield. Is it true that you fought with only one Party?”

“Ah, that rumor is true. It wasn’t what you call an easy win though. I had experience fighting against many opponents, but it was the first time I fought against that many.”

The Fire Spirit at the end was especially the worst. It had scorched the entire plains and burned away hordes of rampaging Monsters, but it was responsible for more than half of the wounds suffered by 《Lightning Dragon’s Mist (Fallen Mist)》.

Even among magic, using Spirits is one of the Highest Level of magic that Mages possess. Especially when it isn’t just about borrowing its power, but summoning the Spirit itself to fight, the difficulty to do that is even higher. Infinite Variety doesn’t seem like a Mage so I doubt he could do that, but if he could do it, then the fight for honor would be very tough.

Involuntarily Hay frowned but noticing that he had been seen, he feared he might lose this chance meeting.

“Right. I won’t know unless I ask my Leader, but...... At any rate, we are going to the same place. Would you like to go with us?”

If we are with his companions, he will have no choice but to do something about it.

Arnold might not agree with it but this isn’t the time to choose the means.

At Hay’s suggestion, Ruda and Gilbert looked at each other.

TL notes:

Extra chapter thanks to Eric!

So in the end, it does look like that Ruda and Gilbert will accompany Arnold and Hay.

Looks like they also won’t be able to escape Cry’s mastermind plan to make Arnold suffer XD

Now the question is, will they be able to see that Cry went into Garest Mountain or not!

Tchao à plus!
