Chapter 590 (1/2)

After Sierra left, we were finally able to come in contact with Lovren.

We had been so focused on Sierra that we hadn’t noticed that we were already in the harbor.

「I’d be grateful if you could be a little calmer around the town, you know?」

Lovren, of course, must have seen our encounter with Sierra earlier. He was complaining to us right now.

Especially regarding Urushi. A big wolf that had suddenly appeared and growled ferociously while radiating intimidation in the town.

Fortunately, there were no people in the harbor, but it could have caused a huge commotion. It would have been no surprise if Adventurers and guards had been dispatched to check the situation.

『Fran, Urushi. You should apologize. It’s definitely our fault』

「I’m sorry」

「Woof」

「As long as you understand, just be careful next time, okay?」

Huh? Was that all? I think a little more scolding would have been in order.

Well, even though he was a high-ranking adventurer, he was a very meek man after all.

「Hey, the sword Sierra was holding. What’s that?」

「Are you curious?」

「He was dipping it in the lake before」

「Eh? He did that?」

「Nn」

「Hmm, Sierra already had it when he first became an Adventurer, maybe around six or seven years ago」

What? Six or seven years ago? Sierra was just a kid, right?

「In this country, can a child that age became an adventurer?」

「Well, he could only register, he wouldn’t be able to move up from G rank until he was 12 years old, so he could only do chores」

I see. There was no way a child who wanted to be an adventurer had a decent background. Even if they turned him away, he would probably end up committing a crime or dying in the wild. So, it would be better for the child if they gave them a job.

「That sword… We called it the Cursed Magic Sword around here. It’s because every Adventurer who had tried to steal it always ended up with bad luck 」

「…Did they die?」

「No, no, no, at most they would be badly injured. At first, they thought that Sierra might have done something, but he had an alibi for everything. However, I don’t think that Sierra had anything to do with it. Hence, it must have been a curse」

「I see」

Could it be related to its Evil Spirit? There was no sign of a curse being placed on it, and curses should be prevented by our resistance to abnormal conditions, so Fran should be fine.

Well, let’s get our focus back on the anomaly pertaining to the lake for now.

「I knew Sierra was looking into the Modoki, but… I wonder if he’s onto something? Maybe I’ll ask him next time I see him」

「Let me know when you do」

「Hmm? Could it be that Fran is also investigating the anomaly?」

「Nn」

Apparently, Lovren had already gotten the information that Fran had become an instructor at the Academy of Magic.

Then it would be quick. Read only at travis translations.

We explained why we were looking for Lovren and asked if he had any information for us. Of course, we made sure to use Weena Rhyn’s name. It was the quickest way to get the information out.

Then Lovren nodded his head in agreement.

「I see. So Weena Rhyn-sama has started to act too」

「Nn」

「Actually, I was just about to go to the merchant association and get some documents?」

「Documents?」

「Aah, why don’t you come with me, if you don’t mind? I’d really appreciate it if you could help me there」

It would be faster to get the information and we would like to hear more about the story. It would be better for us to help him.
