Chapter 384
(384) Sudden wanted poster
Translator: Tseirp
I brought Milky back to Suzuki’s home .
“Rana-san, I’m back . Sorry but please help to prepare a room . ”
“Yes . According to the manual, when a guest brings home a girl apart from his lover –”
Rana-san thoughts were going down the wrong path .
That wasn’t my intention .
“Er, please just prepare a room . ”
“Understood . I will prepare a room immediately . ”
She prepared a room with two pillows and a large futon with pink revolving lanterns above it .
I seriously wondered where did they manufacture that manual she follows .
For the time being, I laid Milky down on the futon .
At that moment, Milky woke up, checked her surroundings, and raised her upper body while moving back .
“ … This … what … have you already done it?”
Milky showed an expression of sadness .
“You’re mistaken, I don’t plan to do anything weird and I have not done anything . ”
Her character was out of tune now that she reacted like an ordinary girl in that situation .
“Ah, this is the first time we’ve talked . ”
Milky nodded twice silently after I said that .
I guess she still didn’t trust me .
d.a.m.n, this was tough .
For now, I turned off the pink lights, opened the paper sliding door, and allowed light from outside to enter .
“I brought you here after you collapsed . ”
“What about the man just now?”
“We parted ways there . ”
“ … I’m sorry for getting in the way . ”
On the contrary, you saved me .
“Do you know Miri? Ah, she might have called herself Miryuu . ”
“Yes, I know her . We talked in the airship . ”
“Miri told me to buy your book and that she has a message in it for me . Do you know anything about it?”
“To buy my book?”
Milky tilted her head and took out a book from her bag .
“Miri-san asked me to hold onto this book . ”
She pa.s.sed me the book .
“Could you sell me this book?”
“It’s a request from Miri-san so it will be 10 silver coins . It is a book safe for all ages so you can show it to Carol-san too . ”
I don’t plan to show it to Carol even if it is safe for all ages .
“All right . Is this okay?”
I exchanged the book for 10 silver coins but strangely it was the same book as the book Felice had .
Why did Miri ask me to purchase this book?
“By the way, is Julio and Sutchino in this town as well?”
“No, the two of them are on the airship . I wanted to partic.i.p.ate in the doujinshi book event so … I slept with books in a borrowed warehouse on Magic Street . ”
Ah, so the books were stored in Magic Street .
So if there was no reaction from the book at the dry cleaner, we would have found Milky .
“So Milky, where are the other books?”
“Are you interested!?”
“Nope, not at all . ”
I answered instantly .
“That was the only book I wrote for sale this time so the content is mostly the same . ”
“Mostly? There are differences?”
“That book is a sample print so the products after that had some modifications . ”
“I see . ”
Nevertheless, I couldn’t understand Miri’s intention for me to purchase this book .
“ … Then, there’s only Miri, Daijiro-san, Julio, and Sutchino on the airship?”
“No, there are other staff on the ship too . A chef who trained in a high-cla.s.s restaurant in the past, a good ma.s.seuse, a doctor, a musician, a bartender, and others . ”
“Sounds like a high-cla.s.s cruise ship . ”
Don’t tell me that Miri was enjoying alcohol?
She might have been the demon lord in her past life but she was now a middle school student .
“So, do you know where the airship is headed?”
“I didn’t ask for details . But I remember Miri-san looking at the flight plan and pointing at Lake Wibble in the Eastern Continent . ”
“Lake Wibble in the Eastern Continent?”
“Yes, she mentioned something about a great water spirit . ”
Great water spirit … according to j.a.panese fantasy knowledge, it would be Undine?
There was the Great fire spirit, Salamander, so it would not be strange that Undine would be sealed somewhere .
For the time being, that concluded the task I had in this town .
There was still the unresolved case of the transmitting talisman and the abnormal sp.a.w.ning of monsters but once the royal army siege is lifted, I will first gather information on the devil race .
I thought to myself as I walked along the corridor,
“Kusunoki-kun! It’s a disaster!”
Suzuki appeared with another crisis .
“What is it, Suzuki?”
“The Adventurer’s Guild communication function has been restored and information from the outside came in but among it was information on wanted posters for criminals – Jofre-kun and Elize-san are currently wanted . ”
“It is probably some misunderstanding? In fact, being wanted was evidence that they are doing fine – ”
“It isn’t the situation to be so carefree . Jofre-san and Elize-san sneaked into the Great Cathedral through a secret pa.s.sage, escaped with the captive devil races, and disappeared . ”
“What!?”
I couldn’t hide my surprise from the unexpected turn of events .
Flute had given up and I thought it was something impossible for me but those two idiots were able to do it?
“Did they mistake them for somebody else?”
“I don’t think they would release a 100,000 sense bounty for a mistake . I have been interrogated until just now since they have information that I entered the town with them . I told them about Kusunoki-kun but I don’t think you will be summoned . ”
Suzuki pa.s.sed me two wanted posters .
It was a caricature . The amount was 100,000 sense .
“What did you do to make it turn into such a big deal?”
I muttered words that wouldn’t reach them as I marveled at their actions that I could never comprehend .
