Chapter 213


Arge Novel Chapter 213: Curse Wind (呪い風)



「Fuwa~a…」(Arge’s yawn)


I’m not a member of the rebellion… but it’s been a while since I became their collaborator .


Thanks to all the things I’m doing, everyone in the rebellion remembered me .


When I walk, I get a greeting, and especially the people, that I saved, are exaggeratedly treating me every time .


「Oh, ain’t that Tens.h.i.+-sama? Have you finished your work yet?」(Someone)


「I don’t really like that name though…」(Arge)


It’s not bad but I’m somewhat reluctant because it can be used for teasing .


When I complained, the other person laughed and gave me a cookie .


I still have a stock of Satsuki-san’s cakes, but sweets are still valuable .


Aoba-san can make flour and nectar, etc . , but it’s difficult to make or obtain b.u.t.ter .


「… Hmm, it can’t be helped . I will forgive you」(Arge)


「Surprisingly easy…!」(Someone)


「It’s not easy, because it’s for eating with my friend .


Also, please stop calling me Tens.h.i.+ . 」(Arge)


After nailing that down, I started walking with the cookie I got .


It’s not a lot, but let’s eat it with Kuzuha-chan .


「…Somehow, compared to the old days, I like this kind of thing」(Arge)


To be honest, when I was in the Kuon family, I felt that it would be fine if I can eat tasty things to some extent .


The only thing I like is a mysterious drink that has a strangely chemical taste, but I liked it because it tasted interesting, not because it was sweet .


I feel like I’ve become a girl, or my eyes have preferred something sweeter than before .


Let’s eat Satsuki-san’s cake thoughtfully .


「I’m sure Kuzuha-chan said that she will help carry luggage today . 」(Arge)


Her Alter Ego will consume magical power and it’s labor work, so she will get tired .


She might be done now, so let’s have a snack and take a nap together .


If I walk around the base leisurely, I will be able to call out again and again .


I don’t hate it but it’s a little uncomfortable to be called that way .


I try to hide from people as much as possible and pa.s.s through the gaps in the warehouse .


「Hi~ya」(Girl)


「Uwa~a」(Arge)


As I approached the corner, I just b.u.mped into someone .


「Ita~ta (it hurts)…」(Chrome)


「Uhm, I’m sorry . Are you okay… Ah, Chrome-chan」(Arge)


「Vampyr!?」(Chrome)


I b.u.mped into someone I knew .


Chrome-chan, someone I have found before .


Apparently she has an illegal mercenary family business and she seems to be in the rebel army for various reasons .



I haven’t heard what those various reasons are .


Ginka didn’t talk much about it .


Even if I talk to Chrome-chan, she always runs away .


「Ah… that…」(Chrome)


「Eh? Ah…」(Arge)


Chrome-chan pointed to the bag I had .


When I opened the bad to look inside, the cookies I received were crushed .


It probably crushed when I b.u.mped into her .


「Ah …please don’t worry . Because I was careless . 」(Arge)


「…Uu」(Chrome)


「Did you get hurt, Chrome-chan?


It sounded rather loud, we didn’t cus.h.i.+on each other because we all have small b.r.e.a.s.t.s . 」(Arge)


「Did you try to make me hate you more?」(Chrome)


No, because we both have small b.r.e.a.s.t.s .


When we b.u.mp into each other, it’s not “elastic and soft” but it’s hard .


Because of our flat-chests, it’s unavoidable that our damage is great .


But I think it’s unreasonable to demand someone as big as Satsuki-san .


「…Are those sweets?」(Chrome)


「This is the cookies I got earlier .


I was thinking of eating with my friends later …


… Well, you can eat it even if it breaks」(Arge)


A little powder spills, which is still acceptable .


「Well then, Chrome-chan . Good luck with your work . 」(Arge)


I’m not in a fight with Krom-chan, but I had a bit of a quarrel before .


As the one that hurt her pride, she might hate me .


In fact, when I met her again, she had an atmosphere like she would pull her weapon out at any time . And now, when when I don’t talk to her but just pa.s.sing by, she still glares at me occasionally .


It seems that she implicitly told me not to approach, so I also avoided getting involved with her .


There’s no reason to get involved if the other person hates you, so let’s go straight away .


「Hey, wait!」(Chrome)


「…Something wrong?」(Arge)


I was surprised because I didn’t expect to be detained .


Perhaps my eyes are wide-opened now .


Grabbing my wrist, Chrome keeps me from leaving .


Meanwhile, she doesn’t look directly at me, I wonder what she wants with me


「Uhm… what is it?」(Arge)


「…over here . 」(Chrome)


「Eh?」(Arge)


「It’s fine already! Just come over here with me . 」(Chrome)


「Wawa~a」(Arge)


Chrome-chan rushed me too much that I almost fell .


Or more like, I was pulled .


For some reason, Chrome-chan is trying to take me somewhere . She turns her back at me, the back of her neck and ears are bright red, I wonder if she feels uncomfortable somewhere .


「Uhm, Chrome-chan . Do you have a fever…」(Arge)


「I’M NOT (Nai~yo)!


It’s fine already, just follow as I said! Or I’ll kill you!」(Chrome)


「Uhm, I don’t want to be killed, so I obediently follow」(Arge)


She might not be able to kill me upfront but if she really wanted to kill me, she could do it when I went to sleep and I wouldn’t be able to resist . So I nodded obediently .


So far, the fact that she hasn’t done it yet means even if she hates me, but she doesn’t plan to kill me .


Or maybe it’s because of the rebels, I’m convinced with this reason .


I don’t want to be hated anymore, so let’s follow her without saying anything .


「We are going here」(Chrome)


「…kitchen?」(Arge)


She brought me to the kitchen, the place to prepare meals for the rebels .


It’s past noon right now and it seems the kitchen has been cleaned up after lunch . There was no one in the kitchen .


「Honestly… just wait for a moment」(Chrome)


With a moody brow, Chrome wears an ap.r.o.n .


No matter how I look at her, she is planning to cook .


Chrome-chan quickly begins to prepare ingredients and cooking utensils .


「Chrome-chan … Can you make sweets?」(Arge)


「…you have a problem?


It’s impossible to make something like a cake, but I can make cookies . 」(Chrome)


「I don’t have any problem… Rather I’m surprised……You don’t seem like being able to cook……」(Arge)


「Are you trying to pick a fight with me?」(Chrome)


No, it’s just as I see it .


When I meet her, she proudly talks about herself with a doya (smug) face .


It’s unthinkable when she wears a daily outfit like an ap.r.o.n .


「Geez! Honestly! You are really…」(Chrome)


Chrome-chan is angry, but she skillfully makes cookie dough .


The flour seems to fly around, but she hands move skillfully . She may be surprisingly homely .


「… Good . After this, let the dough lie down and then cut it out . 」(Chrome)


When she puts the finished dough on, Chrome-chan quickly puts away the cooking utensils that she no longer needs .


I didn’t help because her atmosphere was scary, so I just watched it .


「Fu~uuu … a little break」(Chrome)


「Thank you for your hard work, Chrome-chan」(Arge)


「…… As expected, broken cookies wouldn’t taste good to eat with friends . I didn’t know it back then…」(Chrome)


「You are surprisingly serious ……」(Arge)


「From a while ago till now, did you try to pick a fight with me?」(Chrome)


「No, I don’t .


I didn’t understand you before as well」(Arge)


「…Of course . We killed each other」(Chrome)


For me, I just stopped the ha.s.sle, but for Chrome, that was a serious fight .


「…Is it difficult to talk to someone who you have tried to kill before?」(Arge)


「Actually . It’s not unusual for mercenary business」(Chrome)


「Uhm … then, were you purely angry when we met before?」(Arge)


「Well, that kind of thing… Isn’t that obvious」(Chrome)


For some reason, she raises her voice, but I don’t think she is angry .


Chrome-chan’s face became bright red and she stared at me as if she was about to step on the ground .


「Curse-wind Chrome, I might get that name in this road!


To think I lose…


It was a humiliation to lose so quickly!!」(Chrome)


「Uhm… I’m sorry」(Arge)


「Don’t apologize!


You will make me more miserable!!」(Chrome)


I wonder if Chrome is angry and tired all the time .


When I pointed out, she became angrier, so I decided to keep silent .


「… I’m an orphan」(Chrome)


「Is that so?」(Arge)


「Ahh . It’s not unusual in this world, though …」(Chrome)


Chrome-chan begins to talk as if her anger has subsided, she seems to have calmed down a little .


If I’m getting sleepy (yawn) now, she will be really angry, so let’s listen honestly .


「Orphans have no choice but to sell their bodies, rob from someone, or take them in …


That’s why I chose to take it away . 」(Chrome)


「That’s for mercenary business?」(Arge)


「… That’s right . But, as you can see, my body was small, and I couldn’t compete with other women, let alone a man . 」(Chrome)


「…I see . That’s why you chose speed」(Arge)


For her pet.i.te body, it must have been the path she chose to succeed .


「That’s right . That’s why I couldn’t forgive you for overthrowing me . 」(Chrome)


「That is…」(Arge)


「Don’t apologize . You will make me more miserable!」 (Chrome)


But now it’s a little different . 」


「Yes, why is that?」(Arge)


When I asked her, Chrome-chan looked at me with a surprisingly refres.h.i.+ng look .


The brilliance in her amber eyes isn’t the ferocious color that I once met, but it looks like having fun .


「You’ve seen it too .


The power of “Obsidian” .


If she gets that strong, I can’t catch up to her just by speed . 」(Chrome)


「…Indeed, that was amazing .


Not just her armor, Ginka’s skill in handling it is also great . 」(Arge)


「Something like that .


I followed you to the Empire and meet Ginka …


Speed is still important to me, but I stopped sticking to it . 」(Chrome)


There is no lie in her refres.h.i.+ng words .


Chrome-chan followed me to the empire .


Deceived by Oswald-kun, the guardian of the forest .


Like I’ve learned a lot on that long trip, Chrome-chan must have been through various things in the empire, too .


What she just told me is one of them .


「Well, I still have a grudge against you, you know?


That’s why when I met you, I kind of react like that . 」(Chrome)


「Uhm … I’m sorry …」(Arge)


「As I said, stop apologizing .


Rather than that, what happened here?」(Chrome)


「For my life, perhaps?」(Arge)


「I’m free until the dough settles down, you can talk if you want .


Before I knew it, your comrades increased,


You are taking that Odd-eyed (Heterochromia) Knight .


Did you make an interesting trip together?」(Chrome)


「Well, that’s right …


For now, it was a lie that I went to the empire, I was actually in the republic」(Arge)


「… Actually, I’ve noticed that I was deceived for a while . 」(Chrome)


In other words, she believed it until a while ago .


I have learned one new side of her .


I thought this was a little fun time, including her surprisingly homely skills .
