Chapter 17 (2/2)

If she’s that unwilling then it can’t be helped, today we should just take a D rank request.

“Argh, boring!”

I shout so from the bottom of my heart.

We’ve been taking D rank request for around ten days straight.

Simultaneously with money, my frustration is also pilling up.

“From what I heard, excluding forest of death, the areas around Astat vicinity are considerably safe. And it appears that Brokkina also appears only once in several years.”

Hearing her words, I’m shocked.

This is the first time I hear that. Did she hear that when we acted separately, I wonder?

“What!?

I wonder?

“What!? Such important information, why did you not tell me about it before?! These several days, I’ve been impatiently waiting for Brokkina to appear, you know?”

“If I told you that, I’m sure you’d say ‘This town is boring. Let’s go to another town’, wouldn’t you? However, seems like you’re about at your limit already, so I decided to tell you about it.”

When she’s saying so, I can hear voice becomes slightly strange. Is she imitating my way of speaking, I wonder?

It’s not similar at all… oops, such a thing is not matter at all at the moment.

“We’re leaving this town, Firia.”

“…*sigh*. Very well, I’ll accompany you.”

“Are you sure? Honestly speaking, I was sure you’d object the idea, you know?”

“Even if I did, it’d be in vain anyway. Moreover, I’d decided to accompany you in your journey, after all.”

Now that we’ve decided on it, the rest is just a simple matter.

After looking for information about any seemingly interesting town, we got several candidates, and among it, we decided to move to a town named Mussenmorges.

Before that, we decided to say farewell to Sharon and her pet, Kurosuke, whose request we took before.

Despite only ever meeting her once, perhaps because she’d taken a liking to Firia, Sharon was bawling.

She didn’t even

bawling.

She didn’t even spare a glance at me, though. But well, perhaps that’s the effect of appearance.

When we happened to meet babandongas, we told him that we were about to leave the town.

He said ‘Just like you, I’m also an adventurer. I’m sure we’ll meet again in the future’. I see, he indeed had a point.

Despite having such ridiculous hairstyle, quite a good word he said.

“I believe it’s about time we depart but, what are we going to ride?”

Firia asks me so.

Perhaps because I skipped the story too much, Firia knows nothing but we’re going to Mussenmorgen town.

I scoop up the asking Firia, and then put her, on her abdomen, on my shoulder.

“…umm, what are you doing?”

From atop my shoulder, Firia dubiously asks me such.

“What are we going to ride, you ask? Then, let me answer your question. You’re going to ride me.”

“…?”

“Mussenmorgen town is around a hundred kilometers to the west from here. If I run, we should be there in several hours.”

Hearing that, Firia squirms atop my shoulder to change her posture and then turns at me.

“…eh? Don’t tell me, we’re running there?”

“Of course. That way is faster, isn’t it?”

‘He is insane’ or so Firia murmurs atop my shoulder. And with that, we depart to Mussenmorges.
