Chapter 108: Enter! Okamura Hiiro!
On that day, due to reading a book until the break of dawn, Hiiro had been deprived of sleep Thus, Okamura Hiiro had decided to pass the entire day siues his intentions before heading to his roo this room in the inn, ever since Hiiro had arrived in the 【Evila Capital: Xaos】, he had been in its care for quite a while
Although it could be said that Hiiro had been taken care of quite considerably, it had only been barely a week since Hiiro had arrived in this country Up until then, however, Hiiro had seen plenty of the sights of the De around to many places as he fully enjoyed the experience
Various 『Evila』 settlements Mountains and seas Monster dens that have been specified as danger zones Hiiro had visited a variety of places in the past 6 months Of course, Hiiro had not yet explored every inch of the continent As his travelling co to the the 【Demon Capital】 in order to take care of some errand, Hiiro had simply ended up in the capital
If he were to look back on it now, it see about without rest As his travelling co, they would often offer to go help people, going out whenever they pleased As such, Hiiro, who had been completely at theirexhaustive labour
However, the one thing that Hiiro did not feel was boredom Delicious food and rare books Thanks to such hard labour, Hiiro was able to co the ti nificantly His level was now so high that, should one compare it to his level when he was sumrowth rate
Thus, even though Hiiro held thoughts of annoyance due to being forced to follow such cos, he was unable to co Hiiro to continue to associate himself with them
And thus, this time, Hiiro had arrived at the 【Evila Capital: Xaos】 in this manner As they were already here, for the purpose of Hiiro’s goal of viewing the material in the 《Grand Fortuna Library’s》 《Basement 5》, the floor that required permission from Royalty to enter, Hiiro had asked for entry per companions
As he had arrived here according to his companion’s instructions, it was necessary for them to provide hiinally planned However, throughout this one week period, he had not received any news froue As such, it was possible that they were considerably struggling to provide such means
Although this problem had actually been resolved mid-way, Hiiro had yet to transmit this information to his currently absent companion ‘Well, it should be fine if we talk about it once she cohts, Hiiro did not pay the issue any mind
Even today, Hiiro contemplated whether or not there would be any news from them as he rested in his bed Yet, as he did so, he heard so from outside Actually, even fro aith a batabata(1) could also be heard It was as if they were trying to flee fro
No, this level of volume could not be merely described as noisy It was a roar The sounds of buildings collapsing and cutlery being chafed against each other Sounds of explosions and other noises Hiiro’s irritation gradually began to accumulate
Hiiro: (The hell’s going on today…is there a festival going on or so?)
As he was still lying in his bed, Hiiro’s pleasant sleepiness had been brutally purged as his displeasure began to increase
Hiiro: (That bastard……what the hell are they doing?)
As he was continually frustrated, he recalled that, before he had gone to bed, he had left the strict order of 「Don’t you dare wake h he included the ie of ‘You knoill happen if you cause a coht?’, Hiiro was still doubtful as to whether they had understood such implications However, Hiiro also recalled the with a pale face
Even though that individual was an idiot, as they would abide by Hiiro’s orders, Hiiro had come to more or less trust them However, it had apparently turned into an uproar that this individual could not control, or so it would seem
The reason for this assessment was because of a faint but familiar voice that had entered Hiiro’s ears
???: 「Hey you! Can’t you be a little bit quieter!? shi+shou ake up, you know!?」
It was that bastard’s voice As they had apparently stepped out in order to try and calm the uproar, Hiiro decided to leave it to the in indolence
???: 「A~mou(2)! If you make this much noise then-! Do you kno bad it is to disturb shi+shou’s sleep!? Before this, even though I had apologized for slightly waking hi partner desu zoo(3)!」
As if Hiiro was saying that bastard’s voice was slightly too tense, his eyebrows moved with a pikuri(4) as Hiiro rolled over
???: 「If shi+shou wakes up grumpy, I want you to take responsibility desu zoooooo~!」
Hiiro’s eyebrows once againso loudly that their voice could be clearly heard even from here Honestly, Hiiro found it noisy(5)
Although the tone of the voice had soon di As Hiiro thought ‘do it soain rolled his body over
???: 「No no no no no desu zoooooo-! That is absolu~tely bad desu zooooooo-!」
Piki(6)
This time, a vein appeared on his forehead Hiiro slowly opened his eyes, silently getting up as he draped his red robe onto his back Following this, he grabbed a nearby book with one hand, its largewith rage, headed towards the ith a Don Don Don Don(7)
???:「IF YOU DO SUCH A THING, YOU’LL END UP WAKING shi+SHOU, WILL YOU NOT~~~~~~~~!?」
As Hiiro faced the eneorously pelted his book at them As it had splendidly hit its e as they rolled on the ground in agony In response to such an idiotic eneruntled face(8) as he spoke thus
Hiiro: 「YOU’RE THE ONE THAT’S THE LOUDEST!!!」
Upon looking, one could see that the outside had been transforh Hiiro had involuntarily an to ponder as to why the 【Evila Continent】, that had been peaceful up until this , had been reduced to such a state
As he surveyed his surroundings, various scenes had been reflected in Hiiro’s eyes A large nuht to be soldiers could be seen The party that they were attacking, the 『Evila』
As he scratched his head, Hiiro began to slightly nod several times
Hiiro: (I see)
Following this, as Hiiro slowly redirected his gaze back down, he could see the idiot, as struggling with the pain caused by the book Hiiro had thrown earlier, and a Gabranth that was standing to face said idiot From what Hiiro’s eyes could tell, the individual’s face completely resembled that of a wolf Thus, Hiiro could determine that his analysis was not mistaken
Hiiro: (Nn(9)?)
Following this, what had entered Hiiro’s field of vieere a group of four people that were sat on the ground They seemed to be 『Humas』, yet, for some reason, their faces were devoid of blood, shaded with the the color of fear
Hiiro: (Huh? I’ve think I’ve seen these guys somewhere…………or not)
Although Hiiro thought that he had seen those faces somewhere before, no matter how much he searched his memory, he wasn’t able to draw out an i to recall it would be too much of a pain, Hiiro simply determined that he didn’t know them
Hiiro: (More importantly than that, this is)
Since Hiiro thought that using the stairs every single time he wanted to descend from the second floor was a pain in the ass, he carried his katana that was leaning on the wall nearby and simply leaped out of theas is
As Hiiro landed on the ground with a suta-(10), he approached the child as nearby, still crouched dohile holding their head Hiiro poked their head with a pokan(11)
???: 「Nowa-!(12) S-shi+shou!?」
As the child had finally become aware to Hiiro’s presence, they hastily stood up
Hiiro: 「Oi(13), Baka-Deshi+(14) Today-」
Baka-Deshi+: 「A-aaa t-t-t-the thing is, shi+shou! No, I(15) also tried to stop them desu zo! I requested thenize only this effort at the very least-」
The child was once again poked with a Pokan
Baka-Deshi+: 「Nowa-! I-it hurts desu zo, shi+shou!」
The child looked up at Hiiro while only turning up their watery eyes However, Hiiro simply spoke with a sullen expression
Hiiro: 「Listen to me when I talk to you」
Baka-Deshi+: 「Ah, y-yes desu zo!」
They stood upright as this single phrase escaped their lips, concluding their speech They began to patiently wait for Hiiro’s words
Hiiro: 「What’s the date today?」
Baka-Deshi+: 「Hai(16)! Today is the 10th day of Guviris(17) desu zo!」
Guviris meant that this world was currently in April In other words, today was April 10 As Hiiro had heard thus, he softly htly frowned
Baka-Deshi+: 「S-shi+shou?」
As they had their doubts about Hiiro’s current appearance, the child quietly asked thus
Hiiro: 「Nn? Aa, you reht break out, right?」
Baka-Deshi+: 「Ah, yes It’s thehow shi+shou had been called out to by a strange woman earlier, yes? 」
Hiiro: 「Aa(18)」
Baka-Deshi+: 「That’s……ah, i-it couldn’t be……」
Hiiro: 「That’s exactly right」
