Chapter 94: To return grace

I heard a scream and as I hurry entered the carriage, I saw a pretty terrible sight.

Specifically, Kuzuha-chan used her Bushiha-chan to hold down Zeno-kun.

No matter how I see, the foxes are more like the bad ones here. Kuzuha-chan’s eyes are obvious angry.

“What’s wrong, Kuzuha-chan, did you do something to Zeno-kun?” (Arge)

“Zeno … you … even with such a smaill child?” (Felnote)

“I haven’t done anything! Why do even you doubt me, Felnote-san !?” (Zeno)

“Yes, he hasn’t done anything, the problem is this!” (Kuzuha

Saying that, Kuzuha-chan pointed her finger to a corner of the carriage.There is a person sitting on a wooden box.

She was wearing white clothes and her whole body was carefully wrapped with cloth inside and leader belt tie outside from head to toe. (imaging like you wrap girl with cloth and tie it with leather)

Everything, from hair and eyes to ears and limbs, everything is sealed with cloth and leather belt. Besides, there are chains stick to her wrist and ankle, and it comes with iron balls.

Even I can’t see her face but the swelling of the chest is emphasized, so I know that person who is sitting is a girl.

“Fu a fu” (???)

The detained girl raised such a voice.

The language translation skills didn’t work well. Her mouth must be cover with cloth or something so she can’t even speak. This is shibari isn’t it?

“… Uhm, is this Zeno-kun’s hobby?” (Arge)

“There’s no way I have such hobby !?” (Zeno)

Since he is a disagree with what I said, once heard it, he immediately denied it.

“Felnote-san, who is this?” (Arge)

“… We pick up that person for a while before coming to Sakuranomiya, she was about to be sold as a slave.” (Felnote)

It was obvious that Felnote-san was traveled with him. And this person will not be able to overlook such a thing.

Even if Zeno-kun don’t want to, Felnote-san will take the initiative to help her.

… It is reasonable for Kuzuha-chan to get angry. (because she mistook)

Kuzuha-chan who is keeping her fox’s ears standing as to tell her anger. When we first met, she was treated like a slave, Kuzuha-chan must harbor a hostile to people who selflish takes away other’s freedom. She was also really angry with Elsee-san.

If that Kuzuha-chan sees such a sight, it is natural for her to get angry.

Beside, this carriage belongs to Zeno-kun, the two of them are just met. Of course, she misunderstood.

“Kuzuha-chan, this isn’t what Zeno-kun doing, and I don’t think his hobby is keep slave” (Arge)

“… Is that so?” (Kuzuha)

“I already said that from a while ago …” (Zeno)

When I told her, Kuzuha-chan finally withdrew Bushiha-chan.

Although she is a child, she has the power of a beastkin. Zeno-kun, who was just released is suffered as he coughing, he organize his breathing and then he introduce the person who was restrained again.

“As Felnote-san said a while ago, this is the one we saved … her restraint is done by a powerful curse and can’t be removed.” (Zeno)

I see, It seems like what a merchant would think. (He invest to future business)

Zeno-kun is a peddler  but I don’t know if he can get any profit betting on uncertain business like that. In any case, he already asked and I also don’t want to see people get rob their freedom. (T.N: Arge would hate if anyone rob her freedom to eat and sleep)

“Well, for now, I will remove her from the curses.” (Arge)

First of all, unless I cure her, she can not talk. Judging that, I concentrated my consciousness. And gather magical powers within my bother to my palm as I speak. 

“Please, come off” (Arge)

If I speak the proper words for activation, the magic power will do as I want.

Magics by spell are easy to succeed, and a large amount of belts that wrapped her whole body start falling one after another.

As if a pupa of a butterfly took off its shell and spread the wing, her white cloak flapped. Apparently she seems to have been wrapped around her cloak.

White clothing was embroidered in black and gold everywhere, and it seemed quite luxurious.

The chain which was restraining her limbs was also fallen down with my magic. (T.N: if a lucky pervert harem protag use this magic, everything will come off inclu her clothers)

“Oh” (Arge)

As everything falls down to the floor. I can finally look at her whole body.

She has long straight blond hair. Her ear are pointed.

“Dark Elf … !” (Felnote)

“Not a strong power race … but rare race came out” (Zeno)

Felnote-san’s surprising voice and a strangely cool voice of Zeno-kun echoed in the carriage.

A brown girl, was called as dark elf, watched the surroundings when she was wiping her tears with her fingers.

From her appearance she look like an onee-san, but the look of her eyes are as if she was a little girl (shojo).

“… where is this place?” (???)

The first thing she ask when in doubt like a matter of course.

“What are you saying …?”  (Kuzuha)

“…  Zeno. Did you understand?” (Felnote)

“No … Elves and dark elves use languages ​​specific to an ancient race, so I don’t know it ….”  (Zeno)

She seems to be using quite unusual language, because everyone are puzzled.

In such a case, my language translation skills are convenient. Any word will translate the meaning, and my word will also give meaning to her.

“This is a republic” (Arge)

Her gesture when she bow was elegant, I could see how well she was brought up.

And as she keep lowering her head for a while, her thin hair are falling down like a gold thread. And when she finishes bowing she continued to introduce herself while looking at me.

“Valeria family is the main family from the thirty six generations, we dominate the territory. Although we are small village on the Devil Continent (魔大陸: Ma tairiku), in the name of the Valeria family, I will return your gratitude ~…” (Richelle)

In middle of her speak, a big noise sounded.

It’s the sound of Richelle’s stomach herself that ruined her dignified air and her dignified words.

“Ah … this is …” (Richelle)

“… As I saw it, you could not eat meal for quite a while, so why don’t you have breakfast with us in the meantime? I’m hungry too.” (Arge)

There is a time and effort to tell Zeno the words I heard. So I invite her.

Richelle-san is shy enough to turn brown skin into vermilion and her voice can’t speak properly.

“Well, I’m so … sorry … please …” (Richelle)

It seems that she was pretty embarrassed but she did not deny it, so it seems she is quite hungry.

Zeno-kun is a peddler, so you should have enough ingredients, whether for sale or eating himself.

Some words that I do not know well, such as Devil Continents, have come out, and it would be better to organize information while eating meal.
