Chapter 206 (1/2)

Probing

Several days passed

I atching for thatback to the sisters, but it looks like the letter arrived through the guild instead

And the letter was this:

[Please show this letter to the Village Chief]

… They don’t intend to hide it?

Well, because of that, Nayuta was bringing the letter toMeat at my side, I met with her in the parlor with a table between us Setsuna wasn’t here since she orking

“Village Chief-san, a letter arrived from my client for you”

“Nn? Nayuta’s client…? Who? It’s not Rokuko I take it?”

“Yeah, it’s a long term commission Wakoku’s daimyo… Ah, a daimyo is like an e up now…

“You two came from Wakuko?”

“Me? No, my name’s definitely in Wakoku’s style, but I’ me”

“Hoh… so, what does Wakoku’s daimyo ith me?”

“Maybe to scout you? I reported that you were strong after all”

Ah, she didn’t hide that either Isn’t she actually pretty open about all this? She s if I asked her directly

“… Oh, right right Before that, could you check this out for a eon, but I don’t knohat it is”

Nayuta suddenly pointed a gun at me It’s a revolver-type pistol

She said she didn’t knohat it was, but she’s pointing the er My body jumped from the surprise

… Meat responded to h to block the way Man this girl’s so awesoht, you—”

“That’ll happen if you suddenly send so much bloodthirst ? It feels like you’re accustomed to it”

“Mu, now that you er and pointed the gun down

… By the way, I don’t recall putting soeon It’s not even in the DP catalog in the first place, so Nayuta definitely brought it along herself

Now that I’un, isn’t it odd? It’s a revolver, but there’s no hammer Moreover, the revolver’s cylinder is copper… huh? There aren’t any holes that should be there to load bullets into? Capped?

I’un in person, so I wouldn’t be able tell if it’s real or not if soun like that

“So, would you explain to me what caused you to send so o bald if you fuss on the details—sorry Kuroinu-senpai please stop it with the knife on e Chief-san sorry for what I said sorry!”

Yep, Meat closed the distance in an instant and held the knife up against her throat As for her standing on the table to do it… well, let’s go with it being fine for this Nayuta’s holding up her arun to the floor

“Ah, yep I’ood… Kuro, let her go How about I read the letter from that daimyo person now?”

I opened the letter

… A part of it is weird in that I can read it normally, but hey, isn’t it written in japanese? Sure, japanese characters flash in , but I can only see this as japanese Honestly though, if I had to say, the handwriting looks great

Are they trying to see my reaction, or is there another reason? … I don’t know

By the way, this is what the letter says:

Dear Golen Village’s Village Chief-sa you? If you don’t mind, would you pay a visit to Wakoku? I’ rude, but as it was due to my instruction, she had no choice If you are japanese, I would absolutely love to speak with you If the time comes that you would pay a visit, ould shoulder all of the traveling expenses for you to do so We have sashi+mi, soy sauce, and miso soup [1]

… A japanese person? Really Really now

This is a seriously troublesoht, I decided I saw nothing!

For the ti the letter upside down, narrowingat it, I held it out to pass to Meat

“He Chief-san, you can’t read the characters?”
