Chapter 16 (2/2)
Danka was the elf that I previously met outside of this town Last ti ears, he wore a hood However, right now I couldn’t find anybody fitting that description in ht
A short ti in our direction With a hemp colored cloak, the hood worn low over his eyes, that person walked towards us
When Ariane also noticed this person, she straightened, separating fro him
“Ariane, why is this man here?”
Stopping before us, the e colored cloak asked Ariane that question in a low voice The voice was familiar; it was the same as that of the man I met outside the town
“It’s just a little development… This time, I employed an adventurer for a little help”
“Are you serious?!”
Danka’s voice was filled with surprise and reproach
It can’t be helped; the act of hiring a self-proclai that can’t be understood
“To stand around while having this conversation…let’s find somewhere to sit down”
After saying so, she quickly left the plaza Dankahere as he reluctantly followed behind her Adopting Danka’s lead, I followed behind them
After leaving the plaza, we entered along the reat number of stalls were lined up Before the stalls, tables and chairs were placed for convenience, e
Here and there, seated around the tables, people fro food and alcohol
Ariane sat down at a vacant table, asking Danka about buying liquor and snacks
“Danka~, I want to eat those skewers! And suitable alcohol to go along with it, please Arc, how about you?”
“I’ll pass”
The roasted rant aroma, but there’s no way I can reh I don’t feel hunger with this body, I have no choice but to endure the desire to eat normally
“Why me…”
Even though Danka was gru, he still went off to place the order at the stall in accordance with her request While watching from behind, I took a seat at the same table as her, while Ponta who had been attached to the top of my head came down onto the table and sat down
It seeer
“Kyu~n”
After she let out a cry that seeht back alcohol inside a wooden container that looked like a tankard and grilleda plate of peanut like nuts to follow up After placing everything on the table, he took a seat as well
“Since I was battling the kidnappers in the forest, my stomach has declined Arc, this person’s Danka Neil Maple Like me, he’s also an elven warrior, and, lately, is the one who has been gathering information in this town Danka, the man in the armor is Arc He incidentally joined up and assisted ht with the kidnappers in the forest”
Hmm? She said Maple just now…the name that seemed sweet sounded familiar That is, it was the sa her cheeks with the delicious skewered grilled meat, Ariane Glenys Maple
“If I’ Maple as your last nas?”
Danka raised his eyebrows slightly ather skeweredeveryskewer
“Standard elven names are a combination of one’s own name, the nae you belong to Though I have brothers and sister froe, the two of us aren’tto Great Canada Forest’s capital, Maple”
The na system was considerably different from japan’s
At any rate, was Great Canada Forest the one commonly known as ‘Forest of the Elves’ and ‘Lost Forest’? Moreover, for the forest’s capital to be called Maple…was the place fa??
“Is ‘Great Canada Forest’ the same place that the humans call ‘Forest of the Elves’?”
“The hureat elven city, the founding Patriarch-saave it the name, ‘Great Canada Forest’ The name of the capital of the forest, Maple, was one that Patriarch-sama had decided upon”
…Could existences like me have at times spilled over to this world? No matter how I think about it, the names 『Canada』and 『Maple』don’t seem to be coincidences However, when she spoke about the first patriarch…it was as if the story happened quite a long tio
“Around as the forest’s capital, Maple, built?”
“Maybe around eight hundred years ago?”
While speaking, Ariane tilted her head slightly to one side, looking slightly doubtful, and turned her gaze towards Danka, who gave her a sed the subject
“Such a thing is trivial right now, don’t you agree? Leaving that aside, do you really intend to bring this guy along on the operation this time?”
Danka ed to direct the derailed conversation back to one concerning the current mission
Ariane beckoned for Danka to come closer with her hand After he drew near, she whispered so into his ear
When she finished speaking, in the interior of the hood, his expression changed to one of astonish closer to me, Danka quite skillfully questioned in a small voice that was similar to a shout
“You, is the part about using transfer ic true?!”
“Yes, although there are some restrictions, I can use it”
Although I don’t think that anyone could hear us over the surrounding clatter, I still responded in a low voice
Danka looked alternately at ave Ponta a piece ofhim any attention…
“So? You said that you found the base? How’s the situation?”
While pulling on Ponta’s ears, separating the her head, she questioned Danka about the ascertained base
Danka finally calmed doith his shaken expression replaced by a serious one, and continued talking
“Ah, yes The kidnappers’ base is located in the red-light district near the eastern gate As there’s still a lot of traffic shortly after sunset, we’ll wait for when the traffic lessens during the night to invade In addition, there are also lookouts; it seems that quite a number of people are inside…”
Rather than being in the noble district surrounding the feudal lord’s castle at the heart of the city, the base seeate It was an area that I avoided because I didn’t want the trouble of getting involved with the strange lot over there
“Have you identified the number of people imprisoned there?”
“According to the inforot froht in before long…”
“Since arted their plan for new additions today, then there remains only the four captured in the base Since we have Arc’s ic this time, the escape should be fairly easy
“So, we have to wait around here till it’s time to act…”
