Chapter 24 (1/2)

Blacksmith Volume 2 Chapter 4

Recently I’ve noticed thatin a terribly violent flow, so seeking refuge, I decided noould be a good time to take a look at the school fountain

On the south side of the school, there’s a huge fountain right in between it and the ate I’ve seen it froive off a different impression when you look at it close up

The water is blown up high, causing the temperature around it to feel cooler than it should be

“Uhyo~”

I chased the apex of the spray with my eyes, and then shook my head a little bit

“Oh?”

Glancing doards with the fall of the spray hat appeared to be a girl sitting on the other side of the fountain

…and she was crying

Bushu (sfx: spurt) The fountain spurred back to life, hiding her appearance

I was certain, that was the girl as one of the Eliza’s original ‘Four Heavenly Kings’, I think her na like that

She was also the girl who always called ood impression of her either…

The fountain’s spray fell back down, and her figure could be seen again

Yup, she’s still crying

I think I just saw so that I shouldn’t have seen…

The fountain rose again, and her figure was hidden

I think it would be better if I just leave right now

Yeah, that would be for the best

It shouldn’t be worth irl, let alone one who hatestrouble

Only a problematic story would await me if I intruded

The fountain spray fell back down, once again revealing her

““Ah””

We made eye-contact

After staring at each other wordlessly for while, the fountain spray caain

I’ve been seen, there’s no way out now I can no longer afford running away in silence in this situation

Building upat along the fountain

While putting out h it’s already impossible to pretend to be a naive boy that doesn’t know anything

“…gusu” (sfx: crying)

She sniffed her nose, but didn’t reply

Either that, or sniffing her nose was her reply

Her eyes had beco quite a decent amount

While saying, “Is there so down beside her as naturally as I could

“…gusu, don’t sit next to me”

I was shot down instantly?!

“Did so happen with Eliza?”

Although I know the answer to the question, it’s still a guess Her body language clearly says so

“It doesn’t concern you”

I know that but I’m already involved!

I could just walk away now you know?! But I didn’t you know?!

“Don’t say that, at the very least I’m not completely unrelated to Eliza If you needto her”

“What do you know about Eliza-saet involved!”

Rubbing her swollen eyes, she threw some violent words at me

Eliza in a nutshell, is a ‘tough’ woman character I know that very well, so there’s no way I wouldn’t have noticed how close she is with her entourage

This is also so necessary to maintain the ‘balance’ of the world!

“The Eliza that always keeps people at arth and has a scary face when she closes her eyes, though in truth she’s just thinking about what kind of dinner she’s going to have later?”

“She’s not that kind of person!”

“I also know that her favorite food is chiffon cake, though buttered potatoes come a close second for her”

“Th-that can’t be… I would’ve noticed so like that by now…”

“More or less”

“I-I get it already okay?! You know more about Eliza-sama than me okay?!

“I’, I only said what I knew, nothingless”

Mary had a somewhat depressed face
