Rebirth ~ From The Upper World To The Lower World Chapter 58 (1/2)

Translator: Drakuro

T.N: Sorry for the long absence. Been finis.h.i.+ng my final year project, which I’ve managed to finish last week, but I’ve come down with this heavy fever for a few days already. Fun facts about my body; it’s hard for me to get sick. But when I do, it comes in like a broken dam. Right now I got headache, runny nose, red eyes, dry throat, stomach pain, back pain all the way to itchy b.u.t.thole that would make even WebMD to give up on me. Anyways I’m translating right now to get away from the boredom as I’ve finished the marathon for all the LN I’m stockpiling. Should be a few more chapters this month if I’m not too busy with my headache.

Chapter 58:　To the Castle

When we finally reached the exit, one guard that is free seems to have noticed us. When he called for another guard beside him, the two begin to move the barricade which blocked the doorway between those two. I'm starting to get irritated that they're moving so slow, but finally we managed to pa.s.s.

When the news that we have come out of the dungeon spread, one knight rushed up towards us in a panic. It seems that he's one of Chronoire's two knights. As for his name… I think it was either Lucius or Marcus, but I don’t remember which one. It seems that my brain can't really handle a man's name.

”Did you get the ring!?” (Lucius/Marcus)

…Cant you at least give some word of appreciation to us who worked hard and come back? Well, he's that kind of guy. If I ever decided to serve a master in the future, I guess I'll get impatient too?

”We got the ring. Here it is.” (Est)

I take out the ring from my pocket and show it to the knight. Although the knight looked at the ring like he's going to devour it, before long he started to nod.

”Certainly, it is the same shape as the one His Majesty wore before. The magic power is enormous that even the me who can’t use magic could still sense it. It would certainly be the real thing. You did well. Now then, I will immediately send the ring to the princess. Please hand over the ring.” (Lucius/Marcus)

So he says as he held out his hand like it was natural…. What the heck is this guy saying? There's no reason for me to pa.s.s this when I haven’t received the reward yet. If I pa.s.sed the ring to this guy, the defeat of the princess's faction is fixed.

”This ring is an exchange for the reward. Not to mention, you might die on the way if I pa.s.s this to you, you know?” (Est)

”…What are you trying to say?” (This is getting annoying, so from now on he's Lucius)

The knight shows a stern expression. Still, for him to not get enraged immediately means that he had grown up. The knight doesn’t seem to be convinced, so I explained the reason.

”It's a simple situation. The prince's faction would have mixed in with the guards here. Although they'll do nothing to the adventurers on their side, as for the adventurers on the princess's faction… long story short, if we came out with the ring, they will attack us on the way to the castle for sure. If I'm on the prince's faction and saw that the other side had obtained the ring, I'll desperately attacked them.” (Est)

There's also no guarantee that this guy will not betray us too. Having explained to there, he should have understood that he might get attacked. The knight's complexion changed. Geez, this bodyguard really didn’t use his head huh?

”We'll deliver the ring. Do you want to come together? You could go back alone or do whatever you like.” (Est)

We start to walk towards the castle quickly when I said that. There's no need for a guide since we've already pa.s.sed the road once. Although the knight who watch us moving away seems to be hesitating on what to do, it seems that he had chosen to accompany us after all. We're going to be a bit delayed. Although we've been walking in silence for a while, I felt like we're bullying the knight if we left him unattended as it is, so to break the ice, I'll ask him about something I've been wondering about.

”Come to think of it,” (Est)

I guess he didn't really think that I would speak to him. Although the knight shows a shocked expression for a bit, I ignore him and continue asking.

”What happened to the criminals that ambushed the princess that we arrested before?” (Est)
