Chapter 39 – Crisis

「Mother!」

Eventually, Nady screamed out when she saw a wand sticking out of one of the human-shaped coc.o.o.ns.

Ritone hastily stopped her as she tried to cling onto it.

「It’s alright! She’s not going to die!」

「But!」

「I feel that White Princess Norn is safe. Therefore, it’s alright.」

He comforted the frantic Nady who had lost her cool.

「&h.e.l.lip; I understand.」

When Nady settled down after a while, Ritone and the girls retrieved the human-shaped coc.o.o.ns and carried them to the upper floor.

「&h.e.l.lip; Good. This should be the last one. Did we make it in time&h.e.l.lip;?」

With the last coc.o.o.n retrieved, Ritone felt relieved. He had no intention to fight against the Six Demon Prince. After saving Norn’s group, he’ll quickly run away.

「I’ll leave the collection of the “Earth Orb” to the hero for when he becomes an adult. At any rate, since the airborne fortress* [Pegasus Wing] is being kept under there, even if we leave it alone, the hero will come. Ah, but since Tsuchigumo will spend several years without food, he should be starving to death.」

[Daily: 飛空挺 not quite sure]

While thinking about that convenient matter, they carried the last coc.o.o.n to the upper floor, but out of nowhere, the warp suddenly shook.

「W-what!?」

「Kya!」

Because of the huge tremor, Nady had fallen and got stuck to the nest.
