Chapter 315.1: God of Plague

Y-You S-Screw you, desu. (Kruz)

For once, I have no choice but to apologize. Inside the carriage that started moving, I bowed to Kruz, who is *purupuru* trembling with tears in the corners of her eyes.

Sorry, sorry I was called at a weird time But I was planning to get you out immediately, you know (Cry)

Y-You don't usually forget about that, desu! Enough with that! Desu. I-In the first place, what was the point of putting me inside that, desu! Hm? Tell me what kind of strategy that was, desu! (Kruz)

Well, I just got it, so I thought I should brag about my Relic a little (Cry)

Master~ (Tino)

Tino, who has been eaten once, mutters dryly. No, really, I was going to get her out immediately It is all because the discussion with Lapis and the others was prolonged.

I am glad we noticed her now.

I thought I was going to stay there for the rest of my life, desu. Do you know how scary it is to be suddenly thrown out into the dark like that (Kruz)

Did you cry, by any chance? (Cry)

N-No way I would cry, desu! Moreover, there was food inside (Kruz)

So there is food inside

But Kruz is clearly in a bad mood. She was locked up for two days, so it is only natural. There are *fukafuka* fluffy beds inside Mimic-kun, and if you explore, you will probably find a lot more things, but the mental burden of not knowing if you can escape or not is probably very heavy.

Her clothes are a little disheveled and she has dark circles under her eyes. My condolences to the priests who have been inside Mimic-kun for decades.

Nii-san, come on, apologize properly! (Lucia)

Come on, come on, it is also her fault for letting her guard down, right? Here, let me pour you one drink (Liz)

Liz is *ponpon* tapping Kruz's shoulder while pushing a bottle of alcohol against her. I can see how terrible the thing I did to her is when even Liz-chan, who always agrees with me, goes her way to comfort Kruz instead of supporting me.

Doesn't that mean that Yowaningen is guilty, desu. (Kruz)

It appears we have a difference of opinion. It is not me who is at fault, it is the troubles that are coming to me. Seriously, everyone just causes strange incidents, so I can't stand being involved in them every single time.

When I was parrying Kruz's gaze with a badass smile, Sytry, who was the coachwoman, raised her voice.

Cry-san, seems like there are bandits! What shall we do? (Sytry)

Bandits!? There's no way bandits would appear in a place this close to a human settlement, desu! I'm sick of that, desu! (Kruz)

Kruz said the most reasonable thing, but Lucia and Liz remained calm. For the time being, bandits and monsters are like a basic set for traveling. Even during the escort of the Emperor, a lot came out, right?

Liz asks Sytry while yawning.

Newcomers? (Liz)

They look like newcomers. At least there shouldn't be any of them who have set up their base around here (Sytry)

Seriously, bad guys are everywhere Kruz is looking at me with a reluctant expression. I *yareyare* shrugged my shoulders and said with a sigh.

Unfortunately, it doesnt seem like a scene for me to appear in. Lucia, Liz, Eliza, Kruz, go get rid of them. (Cry)

Sadly, there are no Relics in my collection that can defeat bandits or Monsters. This is why it is essential to have an escort.

Roooger that! Let's go, Tiii! (Liz)

Moo! Even though we just left the Imperial Capital! (Lucia)

Why are you acting so arrogantly, desu! (Kruz)

While yelling, Kruz follows Liz and Lucia, who jump out of the carriage. This time, Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai) is also following behind us, so it is an easy win. Even if you bring a spear or a gun, come and get me.

Thanks for reading! Here's the extra chapter thanks to John. Of course, bandits attack Cry as soon as they leave the Imperial Capital. I want to know what shenanigans Cry did to not be re-elected as Clan Master. But obviously, everyone know that only Cry can be the Clan Master of First Step!
