c47 (2/2)
But, there they found only the magic prevention collar laying on the road.
They had let madam slip away.
The place we arrived in, is the residence of a magic stone dealer to whom Meiya is friendly with.
Coming back from the night battle, ojou-sama met her mother first time in a few months.
“…Tsu!”
Ojou-sama still in her field uniform, leapt straight for her mother’s chest after not having seen her for a long time.
Madam gently stroked her head.
“Thank you Chrisse. For saving mother.”
[Without everyone’s help, I can do nothing by myself.]
She wrote on the magic mini-blackboard.
“That’s right, isn’t it. Everyone, as representative of the Vlad house, I once again give you my thanks.”
Madam lowered her head to us, me, Snow and Meiya, in that place.
“Madam, as a butler of the Vlad house, it was only the natural thing to do..”
“In that case, then the fact that our family was able to meet with Lute was really a G.o.dsend.”
“I have sent out word to Merry-san and the others about Madam’s safe extrication, but meeting with them would have to wait until after the reconciliation. It’s to prevent the enemy from finding out your whereabouts and coming to attack and abduct you and Ojousama again.”
The enemy is detestable, but beyond the fact that there are those watching the family feud from the side, we can’t afford to kill them all.
Now that there are no hostages on their side, they no longer had any hands to play.
After showing our power to deter them, we should find out Master’s whereabouts, and then once again we entrust our self to Master.
“It’s so. Although, what is the plan from here on? As I am safe now, my husband will be able to use all his power, but… I heard that he was sold as a slave to somewhere. We presently don’t have the power to keep those people in check.”
[Mother, do you know where father has been sold to?]
“No, I’m sorry, I’m a powerless mother.”
[That’s not true! But I wonder if father is okay…]
“You don’t need to worry about that. Its him after all, even if he receive a body blow from a dragon, there won’t be even a single scratch on him.”
Uwaa—, it’s so easy to imagine him to do that.
To change the atmosphere I spoke out.
“Since we have ojousama as a deterrent there won’t be any problems. Which is why I was thinking I’d like to open up negotiations with the enemy soon.”
“Chrisse?”
“Yes. She is our deterrent, our trump card.”
Lute turned to ojou-sama.
“By the way ojou-sama, were there any problems with the sniper rifle you tried today?”
[The bullet’s powder still felt a bit weak. The trigger weight was also a little bit on the soft side and the bullets were a bit off from what I imagined, so please make the adjustments.]
“Guh, ce… certainly.”
Though I only worked on it for a short time, I did my best to complete the sniper rifle, but Ojousama still found things to criticize about it.
“I understand. Then I’ll make the adjustments until the day of the reconciliation. For now, please a.s.sume you will be using the current gun for the performance.”
[Okay.]
Meiya interrupted.
“It’s about time for sunrise soon. Shall I prepare a hot bath or some food?”
“I’ll take you up on your offer then. Please prepare a bath. It’s been awhile since I had one with my daughter, you don’t mind do you, Chrisse?”
[Yes, mother.]
While smiling ojou-sama lifted up her mini board.
Allowing the mother-daughter pair to bond after their long separation, we took the tactful approach and left the room.

また４６話『ライフルマンの誓い』に関してメール、感想等でご連絡してくださった方々、ありがとうございます。
Also, to the people mailing me with comments about chapter 46, [Rifleman’s Creed], thank you very much.『ライフルマンの誓い』は書いた方（Ｗｉｌｌｉａｍ Ｈ． Ｒｕｐｅｒｔｕｓ氏）が１９４５年にお亡くなりになっています。また英語訳（かなり意訳ですが……）は自分でやっております。
The person who wrote the [Rifleman’s Creed] (a Mr. William H. Rupertus) pa.s.sed away back in 1945. The translation from English was done by myself (it’s a bit of a liberal translation though…).
また年始めから嬉しいお知らせがあります。１月１０日、発売のコンプティーク２月号にてネット発のコンテンツを紹介する記事で（かなり小さいようではありますが）『軍オタ』が紹介されるそうです。
I have happy news for the start of the new year. On the 10th of January, [Gun-Ota] was introduced in the February edition of Comptiq in an article introducing net-original contents (it’s a small one though).
もし機会があればチェックして頂けると幸いです。
If you have the chance please check it out, I’ll be happy if you do.
ちなみに今回の４７話に出てくるスラングを言いたいがために、お嬢様を『ヴァンパイア』と設定しました。目標が達成出来てよかったです。
By the way, I decided to make Ojousama a [Vampire] so I can use the slang I used in this 47th chapter. I’m glad I could reach that goal.
また誤字脱字のご報告誠にありがとうございます。
Again, I thank you very much for typo reports.
近日中に修正したいと思います。
I will go and fix them soon.
それでは何卒今年も宜しくお願いします。
Well then, best regards for the year to come.
