Chapter 54 (2/2)

Arriving at the city exit, Hiiro looks back toward the <king’s tree=””>> where Arnold and Muir are

“Later” (Hiiro)

Though he sounded a little reluctant, Hiiro continued walking and left the country

“What did you saaaaay!? Hiiro leeeeeft!?” (Arnold)

Long after Hiiro had left the country, Arnold and Muir, who had just returned to Rarashi+k’s laboratory, were dealt a great shock

“Yup, he left lickety-split” (Rarashi+k)

“N-No way… That’s too sudden…” (Muir)

Muir says with a shaky face, her expression turning bitter

“T-T-That bastaaaaaard!!” (Arnold)

bogon!10

Arnold hits the ith all of his strength On the wall is a shs while looking at Arnold, who is grinding his teeth

“Coe from the boya” (Rarashi+k)

“M-Message?” (Muir)

Muir asks

“To jou-chan, no, Muir, he said to beco” (Rarashi+k)

“…Hiiro-san said… Is… Is that so…” (Muir)

Muir understood after hearing those words that the fact Hiiro had left was neither a joke nor a lie

“shi+t! That Hiiro! Why’d he leave without saying anything!” (Arnold)

No, in reality he knew the reason why He was able to deter Mimiru’s story from Muir that Hiiro wouldand his men would return soon If it was discovered that Hiiro was the one who cured the princess, it would certainly cause a lot of trouble

Because he didn’t want to deal with that, Hiiro left as soon as he could Arnold understood that However, he couldn’t stand that he left without even saying a single word to them

“Why didn’t he say anything!?” (Arnold)

Arnold was upset, thinking that Hiiro thought that they orthless and didn’t even deserve parting words Arnold thought, though it was only for a short period of ti well on their travels

Because Hiiro didn’t say anything before he left, Arnold thought that he ht the same and became upset However, Rarashi+k tells Arnold

“Arnold, the boya said this ‘The next tiood food to my heart’s content’” (Rarashi+k)

“Yeah It seems like the bond between you three hasn’t been severed yet” (Rarashi+k)

“Y-Yeah…” (Arnold)

Seeing Muir’s joyful expression, Arnold’s eyes started to get hot If this continued, an oldbecause of a shi+tty conceited brat His pride would never allow that to happen

“H-Hmph! Don’t kid me! I’m not his personal cook! Seriously, that Hiiro!” (Arnold)11

Muir looks at Arnold, who’s putting on a strong front He was s with the corner of his mouth

“Fufu, Oji-san isn’t honest” (Muir)

“Okaaay okay, I know you’re happy, but let’s get started with the program” (Rarashi+k)

Rarashi+k claps her hands pan pan in order to get the two’s attention

“Program?” (Arnold)

“Ou12!” (Arnold)

“Hai12!” (Muir)

In order to one-up Hiiro It goes without saying that this became one of their objectives

“Then while you’re in training, work hard without a single co him out!” (Rarashi+k)

Listening to Rarashi+k’s words, Arnold and Muir look at each other and nod

“”Hai!”” (Arnold & Muir)

They both give an enthusiastic response

“Just you wait, Hiiro I’ll punch you first thing the next time we meet!” (Arnold)

Muir, as if hiding her deterhtly

(I want to stand next to those two! So I’ll becoh to be accepted by Hiiro-san! By Hiiro-san… By Hiiro-san… Uuu, it’s because Mis) (Muir)

Muir’s face stea her like that, Arnold beco the reason and clenches his fist

With strong resolve, the two begin taking steps towards the future Of course, without knohat’s going on, Hiiro is traveling somewhere by himself

And then the reunion between the two and Hiiro, which comes to be due to unbelievable circumstances, but… that is a story to be revealed in the future
