Chapter 192 Departure
Part 1
And then, time flew by, and the fateful day arrived.
The weather has been nice lately, but unfortunately, the sky was filled with thick clouds today. You cannot say that it is a good day to fly at all.
Most of the preparations were done. The rest of the group――Term, Kechakchakka, and Kruz all seemed to be ready to go.
Franz-san was standing there in front of me. He has a blue vein popping on his forehead and his eyebrows *pikupiku* twitching as he says.
“...... Did I hear you wrong?” (Franz)
“............ I am really sorry.” (Cry)
The only problem was that the Thief Ghost that I made a request for hadn’t come back yet.
I asked the Thief Ghost to go back to the Imperial Capital and bring me a certain item.
I thought that with her speed, it would be enough to make it in time, but I was wrong. Speaking about being wrong, I was also wrong about the departure time as it was early in the morning. However, if I think about it calmly, I should have expected that Franz-san would want to leave the city as soon as possible since we had postponed our departure for three days.
The Emperor was preparing to leave, so he wasn’t there. So there was no one to give me a helping hand.
After all the trouble I caused Kruz the past few days, she was now quite angry, so when I look at her, she *humpf* turned her head away. Kilknight version Alpha was, as usual, standing there motionlessly.
“You want to postpone the departure a little longer, you say? I have already complied enough of your request, 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》. I have already postponed our departure by three days and the maintenance of the ship has been redone from the ground up to make sure that it isn’t broken! I have even loaded all the supplies you gathered! Although I made so many concessions so far, you are asking for more! No matter how much you want to be remembered by His Majesty, you have gone too far!” (Franz)
“No way......” (Cry)
Unlike the wooden staff Kruz has, it was made of metal with a large round jewel floating in the center of the spiraling tip of the staff. From its luster, the metal appears to be gold but it is not gold. This staff is――A Relic.
Apparently, the Imperial Capital was quite far away even for the Thief Ghost. But what a nice timing.
When I hugged the *furafura* wobbly Thief Ghost, I *ponpon* pat her back for her hard work. The Thief Ghost leaned against me for a moment, but kept her position as a ghost and left in silence. She is a Ghost that does the things that need to be done when it has to be done.
The doors closed. I have everything that I need. The Carpet was applauding. And then I said in a badass manner.
“Now, everything is ready. Let’s go.” (Cry)
“W-Wait a minute, are you planning just going to ignore that!? What was that right now!” (Franz)
“...... It is one of the Sheet Spirits that I can use.” (Cry)
“............ Do you really think you can convince me with that!?” (Franz)
Franz-san’s face was twitching. Kruz was looking at me with an expression that says, “See, I told you so”.
However, I push it through. I will push this through. That was just a Sheet Spirit, nothing more, nothing less. It isn’t going to interfere with the escort, so isn’t it fine!
As I grabbed the translation staff――『Round World』 that I purposely asked for, I smiled to show that I wasn’t planning on defying him.
Finally...... With this, I can finally understand what Kechakchakka is saying!
