Chapter 49

We decided to help Naminissa, but before we listened to the full story, we will move to another place. Following Naminissa's instruction, we heading towards a rocky place near the Maima village. We left the unconscious Knight-like men's group on the road just as is.

On the way, I walking ahead to lead the trip. Since I feel a gaze from my back, I turn around and just found Naminissa was talking with Orlando enthusiastically but nobody was looking at me. Huh? I continue to advance but there I feel a gaze from my back again....

Booo!!!

I found nobody wathing me even as I suddenly turn around. It was rather embarrassing because the two gave me a strange look.

After that, I ignored the gaze I felt from my back and continue to advance towards the rocky place while leading the two. This.... is there any meaning for me to walking ahead?

We arrived at the rocky place and sat down in an appropriate place respectively to hear the detailed story from Naminissa. Meru is fluttering around to chase after a small butterfly. The scene soothed my heart.... Opss, I have to listen her story properly....

Mabondo kingdom in ancient times was called “Bondo” Kingdom, there were two royal family in this country. The first person who became King was “Gnarbondo”. His youngest brother “Mabondo”, became the next King after him. The descendant of this two royal family becomes the next King alternately. In addition, the royal family has always been supported by Duke “Flebondo” house who is a blood-related cousin of the first King.

Through these two royal families and Duke Flebondo house, this country has prospered. However, there is only one royal family left in this Kingdom now. The former King "Deo Gnarbondo" passed away because of sickness without leaving a child.

The current King is "Givirio Mabondo", known as a good king that is loved by his countrymen. The Queen is Mirellina Mabondo, it said she is still hot despite of her age.

How enviable....

These couple have three children. The eldest son's name is “Navirio Mabondo”, excellent in domestic affairs, diplomacy, strategy, etc. He's known as “Genius One” he is famous because of his vast tactical knowledge.

The eldest daughter name's is “Narellina Mabondo”. Because of her superior battle ability, it's said she could make a rain of blood in the battlefield. She's known as “Battle Princess of Blood Rain”.

And their second daughter, Naminissa Mabondo. Not only barrier, she is excellent in all kinds of defense art. She's known as “Bloodless Holy Princess”.

This is a part of information related to Naminissa request. However, the problems started from here, this is where she needs our help. Currently the King and the Queen are sleeping because of an unknown disease, it seems there is no sign they will wake up any time soon. Then, her elder brother Navirio and her elder sister Narellina became hostile to each other without reason. Right now, it seems they are preparing for a war to kill each other.

Originally their relationship was very good before. Naminissa thought there was something strange for them to suddenly hate each other so she conducted an investigation independently with her three attendants and collaborator.

One of her follower is the owner of this ring and this sword. While searching for that person who was suddenly lost in contact, some mysterious group attacked her two other attendants and they got caught.

She asked her collaborator to search for whereabouts of her two attendants who were caught. She found out the location and challenged it by herself but lost. It seems she met us while running away from them.

[In other words, you want us to stop their fight and find out the cause, also get rid of it?] (Wazu)

[Yes...] (Naminissa)

Naminissa told me the current situation with a bitter look.

[Hmm.... what was that again.... that's right, why don't you ask for cooperation from the Flebondo house, they have supported the royal family since a long time ago, right?] (Wazu)

[Certainly.... Flebondo house has supported royal family since a long time ago. And their family head Zizu Flebondo-sama, is the current prime minister. It's not like I don't trust him.... actually zizu-sama's son, Denoga Flebondo-sama is my fiance, but somehow it smells fishy....] (Naminissa)

Oops, suddenly a fiancé come out. Then I guess the words about herself as a reward was really my mistake.... I wonder why.... somehow I feel a litttle disappointed to hear it.

[B-But, it's still an informal engagement!! This talk was proposed and forcibly advanced by the prime minister halfway through!! If I ask father, it could be canceled anytime!! This is true, really!! Rather, I don't want to marry that person!!] (Naminissa)

[Ah, yes....] (Wazu)

Naminissa approach me with a serious expression while explaining about her engagement.

Understood~!! I understood~!! It's too close~!! Your face is too close~!! My heart won't last at this rate~!!

Honestly, I was surprised because she suddenly approached, I just about to jump out before.

[Then, Naminissa-sama. How should we act from here on] (Orlando)

Orlando still act calmly. Oi, how could you speak normally in this situation. Naminissa take a distance from me in hurry. She made a small cough with *kohon* and act as if nothing happened while answering Orlando's question.

[First we will head to Maima village] (Naminissa)

[Are we not going to the kingdom?] (Wazu)

[Yes, in the Maima village there is a base of the group who attacked me. Because my two attendatnts are confined there, I'd like to rescue them first. But since I'm specialize in defense, my attack power is no good at all, because of that I had failed before. With the help from you two....] (Naminissa)

[I see, surely with the two of us, to be presice with Wazu is here everything will be fine] (Orlando)

Orlando smiled at me with a smug face. Naminissa looked at me with a face full of expectation. Oh? Am I depending on?

[Though he is a F-rank Adventurer, but he has saved Linnic city many times and he is called a Hero there (Orlando)

(TL : I changed Rinikku city to Linninc city from here on, it sounds better to me. I will edit the previous chapters when I feels like it (actually without modem I need to use my time and data usage economically :D)  "Name" is difficult to translate, sometimes what's written and how you read it totally different so it's translator privilage to decide) 

[Oh my, that is amazing] (Naminissa)

[Though oneself has poor ability, but I will help too. We will  help your family for sure] (Orlando)

[Thank you very much. Wazu-sama as well, I'm counting on you] (Nami)

[Ah~ yes yes....] (Wazu)

And then we're sneaking into Maima village in the middle of night.
