Chapter 366 - : Temporary Disbandment, and the Two Crowns (1/2)
In a Different World with a Smartphone Chapter 366: Telad you’re alright There were no casualties on your side, right?”
“Like I’ll get taken out that easily Well, the fortress was h”
The other hed when they heard her words
After we reached the abandoned fortress, I immediately called Nia, and the call connected quickly When I asked for their current location, and hurriedly opened a [Gate] to go there, what greeted roup, Nia, Vice Chief Est-san, the close aides Yuri and Yuni and everyone else looking completely fine It kinda threw lad everyone is alright though
We’re in the middle of a forest far up in the north fro Trees densely surrounded us fro fro to Nia, their hideout was suddenly attacked by several giants yesterday Those giants were under so that had also been firing things like cannons at theiants
“Giants?”
“Trolls, actually They are ugly enerative powers; however, their intelligence is on the level of a monkey There shouldn’t have been any trolls in the area… It’s quite likely that our opponents have monster tamers in their ranks”
Est-san answered my question
Trolls, huh I’ve never seen one before, but are they different froave off a feeling of being a good-natured strongh
“They are coer, and they’re re tribe is frores”
Sakura frowned a little as she explained No, well, sorry about that; but there is the question on whether it is alright to treat the monster in this world the same way as the monsters in our world, you know
Sakura’s the princess of the country of the dedom Xenoas, after all I should’ve paidso those trolls?”
“Aah, we’re sure about that They had tattoos all over their bodies, so they could be from the Jila tribe”
“The Jila tribe…”
“It’s a minority tribe that lives in the country to the north, the Ice Nation Zardonia They have techniques which allow the as mercenaries thanks to that Trolls are in with, so the possibility is high in my opinion”
Even in the Reverse World, which is more advanced scientifically than the Surface World, there’s still strange techniques around, huh If this was the Surface World, they would probably be from the Great Sea of Trees, wouldn’t they
“But ould that tribe attack you? Did you do sory at you?”
“Well, we’ve been doing things like that from the start The douess? If theyit to the country, they would be able to keep everything for theroup are chivalrous thieves They et unscrupulous merchants or corrupted nobles, and rob theiven to the less fortunate people and orphanages and other such groups, so they don’t really have a lot of loot with the one can learn with a bit of investigation, attacks like this apparently aren’t rare; I suppose it’s natural to believe thieves would be storing all the valuable they’ve gotten
“Still, you did well escaping safely with everyone-no”
“Est led the retreat while I drew their attention with Rouge I escaped after beating up a few trolls I did have to pay a bit of coh”
Nia looked at the red golee, as she replied to Suu
The red [Crown], Blood Rouge The price for its power coh that sacrifice, Rouge gains unparalleled destructive power and the ability to control fire With that, it shouldn’t be hard to defeat a few trolls
To be honest, I’m more i their opponent is one of the [Crown] holders
“No, there were quite a lot of theainst all of theeous for us Plus, it was in the ressive useto the able to use its flah And Nia can’t keep paying the co time, too
“Well, yeah It’d be bad if I collapsed from loss of blood, so I escaped quickly The other side’s aiive chase as well Kukuku, while it’s unfortunate for theht here, so their efforts would end up giving thehed in an evilthe smartphone in her hand Of course, that se] application Even if I say it’s 30 of what they gained, it’s still no s a deep bitterness right now Come to think of it, the reason why they destroyed the fortress to that degree ood you guys are fine but… What are you guys going to do now? Go back to your base in the holy capital?”
“No, that place has been found by the holy capital’s knight order, so it’s been abandoned already For the roups and sent the The only people here are ones close to Nia”
“While it’s not what I want, we can only hide for the e for this one day”
The Red Cats had over 100 people originally after all It would be hard to run with all those people clu up in one spot
The other members have already scattered in units of a dozen or so people, and the ones left here, including Nia and the other cadres, number a little over ten True, with this size it’d be easy to hide
“For the one their oays-desu ne I want to find a good spot to settle down-desu”
“It’s our fate as vagabonds-ssu yo It can’t be helped-ssu”
Nia’s close aides, Yuri and Yuni exchanged light banter while having wry smiles on their faces
“Then you all should just come to Brunhild We have lots of empty land, and there’s also plenty of jobs, you know?”
Everyone went silent when Suu said that, but after a while, Nia recovered and looked ateyes Mu Why’d you have to say that…
“There was that too! If we go to the other world, there’s no way they can track us down, so it’s perfect for hiding ourselves! And besides, didn’t you say the torlds are gonna get stuck together eventually anyway? It’s not a probleht!”
“No, well, uun…”
“What’s with you, c’ht? So isn’t it fine for us to go too?”
“No, I was just thinking, but is it really fine for a king to invite a band of thieves into his own country…”
I know Nia’s group are chivalrous thieves, which means they don’t indiscriminately steal from anyone and everyone, but still I need to think ofover this, Yumina pulled on my sleeve from next to me
“Touya-san Nia-san is the holder of the red [Crown] Couldn’t we recruit her as a tester for the Over Gear like Norn-san?”
“Muu Well, that should be fine… I think?”
The professor and Dr Elka would be overjoyed if that happens The more data they have, the better, is what they told me themselves
“I don’t really knohat that is, but I’ll help if that’s what you want Also, I promise to never steal in your country”
“… Really?”
“Chivalrous thieves don’t lie We can’t continue being chivalrous thieves if we can’t earn the trust of the people, you know We will definitely repay kindness shown to us”
In Nia’s eyes, I can see a strong conviction Well, the sisters Elka and Norn are there already, so at this point…
“Alright, fine For now, since it’s tough for uys and make multiple jumps, okay?”
