Chapter 47 (2/2)
Hiiro: “Aa”
Arnold: “Name?”
Hiiro: “………… no idea”
Arnold: “You forgot, didn’t you”
Hiiro: “I just didn’t have any interest in it”
Hiiro puffed his chest out, as if saying he didn’t do anything bad
Arnold: “Nn~ But is there such a fellow that’s capable of doing that? In addition, Hiiro was their opponent, you know In the first place, why the hell would they be gathering the snake’s corpse?”
Hiiro: “-the hell would I know?”
Arnold: “As I thought What do you think, Muir?”
Muir: “Etto…?”
Arnold: “Oo~! As expected of Muir! What an adorable idea!”
Being hugged tightly, Muir painfully struggled slightly Looking at the two, Hiiro spoke a single word
Hiiro: “Lolicon”
Arnold: “At least call me Parent Baka you Boke~!” (TL: Boke is a variant of Baka which is usually used by, but not exclusive to, people who speak the Kansai Dialect)
Arnold roared as if to say ‘How are you going to coet another title attached to me?’
Hiiro: “Well, to suive up on collecting the Snake’s loot Besides, we’re not really in any financial trouble so you don’t really care, right?”
Arnold: “…well, I guess it’s fine Actually, tell us about stuff like that sooner!I Actually, tell us the moment it happens!”
Arnold was absolutely right (TL: The kanji for ‘that street’ is used here, yet the content seems to indicate that ‘it was as he said’ As I translate context, I have opted for this translation)
Arnold: “In any case, let’s go to the guild and redeem the rest of the loot from other monsters”
The trio carried their legs towards the guild
The guild was devoid of any adventurers As expected, it seemed that everyone had been deployed off to the front lines Seeing Hiiro and co that they had just returned from a journey, the staff were somehow convinced
As they finished redeeuild
Hiiro: “What’re we doin next?”
Arnold: “There was another why I came to this country, you know”
Hiiro: “Aa, speaking of which, you did o somewhere…”
Arnold: “Ou, I just need to go to the [King’s Tree] for a little bit”
Hiiro: “[King’s Tree]? Do you know somebody from the noble family?”
[King’s Tree] refers to a large tree that houses royalty Because this country has been built using trees as a base to support life, there are no such houses constructed out of stone like those in the Humas Continent All of them are built out of trees
As such, the [King’s Tree] held the sa’s castle It was a place where the Gabranth Royalty resided
Arnold: “No, no I’ there to see the royal fa there If he found out that I ca, it’d turn into a pain in the ass”
Even though Arnold said it would likely be troublesoia It see them
At the entrance of the [King’s Tree], two people who looked like soldiers were standing guard In short, they were gatekeepers
Arnold: “Excuse me”
As Arnold called out the the hiazes then moved on towards the other two
Guards: “Who goes there?”
Of course, seeing as this was the King’s residence, they had no choice but to be wary However, as they were in the e It was possible that they had yet to be informed about the war’s conclusion
Arnold: “I’m nobody suspicious I just ca I wanna ask you”
Guard: “So to ask…… you say?”
As if they were appraising Arnold, they carefully scanned hiuard opened his mouth
Guard: “We are currently in a state of eency You are aware that we are unable to per’s Tree]?”
Arnold: “I’ency However, even if it’s just out here, I was kinda hoping to talk to somebody”
Guard: “……ere you hoping to interview?”
Arnold: “Well, about that…”
As he said that, heavy footsteps carrying a tre which…
Dokka-! (TL: Thud/Bang/Slam/etc)
Arnold: “Gube-!?” (TL: A sound which signifies Arnold receiving a strong impact)
Arnold suddenly soared due to receiving an i across the ground with exceptional velocity It was as if Arnold had been struck by a speeding car Following this, Arnold’s body had collided with a tree that was up ahead, finally causing him to stop
Muir: “O-Ojisan!?”
Muir’s eyelid shot open wide as she screa as if they had their time stopped
Hiiro: “Did he croak?”
A sinister thought calance at Arnold, his line of sight transferred to the one who had appeared That person was grinding their teeth, revealing their frustration
???: “I can’t believe you! How long are you gonna be daze for?! You Ou-Baka Arnold!” (TL: Ou-Baka = Big Idiot)
From the tobacco held in their lips, smoke rose towards the sky From what could be observed, this person was a Gabranth wo to the sa beauty and had the sa eyes as Arnold And yet, her physical stature was very muscular Furtherure evoked an extraordinary sense of incongruity
As Arnold’s consciousness faded, he held his ar at hi voice
Arnold: “……Ne…… nee……-chan ……” (TL: For those who don’t know, Nee-chan = Big Sister)
As the distance between Arnold and him was substantial, Hiiro was unable to hear what he just said However, Muir had clearly heard his
Muir: “Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhh!?”
…was how Muir expressed her shock The two soldiers also displayed similar astonishment
