Chapter 6 (1/2)
NOTE: ALL OF THIS ARE MACHINE a.s.sISTED TRANSLATION, I CANNOT GUARANTEE ACCURATE TRANSLATION, AND SOME WAS LEFT TO MY INTERPRETATION.
When me and Ossan entered the cave, a new map opens. It seems to be quite complicated. I see. It’s exactly good for a hideout.
Still it’s not too far from the Imperial capital. Because it near the highway, they disguised as merchants and travelers when getting some supply goods. I found an area connected to the sea on the edge of the map. There seem to be around eight people there. Thy seems to be Ossan’s subordinates.
There are a large reactions of bats in the cave, its probably a monster. When I lowered Ossan down, Ossan collapsed with a thudding noise. And at the same time, 《Stealth》 was canceled. Unless I do that I won’t be able to see Ossan.
[Ca….can’t stand]
[Oi oi, You ok?]
[With such acrobatic feats preformed, there’s no way I’m gonna be ok!]
That’s true. Breaking out of prison at a speed of a running car, furthermore super jumping from there, then flying in air even I would be able to stand if I were in Ossan’s shoes. It took a while for Ossan to stand decently, but I didn’t notice it because we escaped at high speed. There are still two hours till meal time.
[Alright… I’m gonna lead you to the hideout. …Which reminds me, we haven’t introduced each other. I’m Barbarosa]
[My name is Toudou Masaki. You may call me Masaki]
[So it’s Masaki. You are my… no, our benefactor. Please lend us your full power]
[That is after I safely escape from the empire. Say, do you have any expectation that if applied the s.h.i.+p can turn transparent? To be honest I still don’t know the area of effect either]
[Aa. Then let’s go. This way]
When Ossan pushed a big rock from the entrance, a switch appeared. When it was stepped on, a wall of rocks turned with a *clunk* and it became a door. When I enlarge the map to see whether there was such a structure in the pa.s.sage. I seems the the map doesn’t display the switch and the door. While Ossan was guiding me, we haven’t encountered any monster on the pa.s.sageway. The structure goes like if I pa.s.sed any route other than here then I’ll b.u.mp into a monster. I was thinking of my next action while walking, then Barbarosa called out to me.
[Masaki no Danna. Why didn’t you serve the empire ,even though you have such convenient ability? What I’m saying is, with that ability can’t you become a general?]
[Aa, that. To tell you the truth]
While walking I explained to Barbarosa that I was a summoned being.
That was almost been equipped with a slave collar.
But I was able to fully nullify it and was thrown into the prison.
[Selfishly summoning me to serve the empire then trying to make me a slave]
[I agree. I also fought back with my pirate comrades army troops…… But we where betrayed, scattered, and now in this condition. There are few who isn’t under the empires’ support that stayed with us pirates]
[Then that several wars.h.i.+p…]
[Several years ago this country was peaceful. Then they begun to enhance their armaments and they suddenly build new types of s.h.i.+ps then declared war to various countries. Last time the small country of the Beastman clan and Demon clan was conquered… I also did my best there to…]
[There are Demons too? I don’t know this world well, isn’t the Demon clan strong?]
[Yeah. Since they are Demons, some guys are good with magic. At the same time they are also good in handling swords and axes. Unfortunately the different in numbers were too great. Even when the Demon king was in the country it they weren’t able to do anything… but to escape to a different country. Masaki no Danna. We’re here]
If I’m besides Danna they are sure to notice, because I don’t think it’s inviting you is bad, they’ll probably don’t mind it. In the depths of the pa.s.sage there was a wooded door attached onto to it with traces of corrosion. And the fragrance of the tides was drifting from the gap… that informs me that the sea is close. Barbarosa opened the door vigorously while crying with a loud voice.
[Oi! Everyone, I have returned!!]
[B-boss!!?][You’re alive!? We thought you died]
[I-I have legs! I’m alive! I’m the real living Boss!]
The subordinates runs toward Barbarosa wile crying. Such a suitable adoration. It’s too much but it was worth helping him. When I left from the pa.s.sage door, there was a excellent s.h.i.+p. I catch the sight of the pirate s.h.i.+p.
[Aniki!! I’m glad you’re safe…! We heard that you were captured by those imperials, how were you able to escape from the inescapable prison? And who is that on the back?]
A guy with a polite tone came out of the s.h.i.+p. Looking surreal as he was wearing an ap.r.o.n . He called him aniki so is that Barbarosa’s otouto?
[I’ll introduce him to all of you. Masaki no Danna is a great benefactor who helped me! Make your greetings!]
[[[Usu! Masaki no Danna! Thank you very much!!]]]
They bowed all at once. I’m not used to things like this. I mustn’t get into the trend here but I was glad to be thanked after all. Still, we haven’t escaped the danger yet.
[I helped Barbarosa because I also need his help. I like to get away from the empire as soon as possible. Will you help me?]
