Chapter 37 (2/2)

I am prepared to bet my life.

—————-

Ditzen, who somehow finished preparations by forcefully loading research material onto the cart, walked through the town before the sun is even up.

Looking around and confirming that no one was around, Ditzen quietly followed along the edge of the street. Giving money to the gatekeeper, he secretly escaped the city and went straight for the southeastern sea.

Two figures were following behind his back.

「…Kukuku, that Ditzen. He chose such a time so we won’t find out.」

「I’m sleepy, Yanual-niisama.」

「Yuri, do not speak my name. It might ruin our disguise!」

「Oh, Yanual-niisama. Are you not calling me by my name?」

「Oh, shoot. Now, let’s leave the city before we get discovered.」

While having such a conversation, the two waved their hands to the frightened gatekeeper and left the town.

The gatekeepers and peddlers were saying something behind them, but the two weren’t aware of that.

「Now, Ditzen, where did you go. 」

「There is only a sea in this direction. Could it be that Ditzen-sama is in love with a mermaid…」

「Then instead of money let’s give him a ship as a congratulatory gift.」

「Oh, how marvelous. As expected from Yanual-niisama.」

Dressed in robes with stunning embroidery that made passers-bys do a double-take at them, the two walk towards the southeast with a somewhat jolly laugh.

Arriving at the southeast coast a short while before them, Ditzen looks into the sky, narrowing his eyes due to the rising sun.

「…Not yet?」

Fidgeting uneasily, he kept intently looking into the sky.

「…Not yet?」

He muttered that every five minutes, and after waiting for about two hours, Ditzen spotted something in the sky and raised his voice.

「…It came! It came, it came, it came! It really came!」

Two people dress in luxurious robes called out to Ditzen, who was jumping from joy.

「What came?!」

「Good morning, Ditzen-sama.」

「Wha?!」

Ditzen turns around with wide eyes and stares and the two, who had their faces concealed by hoods.

「I-Impossible… Airhead siblings were tailing me…?」

「Whom are you calling airhead here?!」

「Fufufu. The sight of Ditzen-sama jumping with joy was very lovely.」

Ditzen glared at them but then suddenly raised his head and turned his gaze to the sky once again.

「It wasn’t the time to be concerned with idiots! Finally, a contact…」

Following Ditzen, Yanual also looked upwards and then opened his mouth.

「Muh? It’s different from usual?」

「Say what?」

The silhouette descending from the sky steadily grew bigger and gradually its appearance becomes more and more clear.

「Oh, today it’s a really golem-like golem.」

「Golem-like golem?!」

Perhaps due to her good eyes, Yuri distinguished that silhouette right away. Hearing those words, Ditzen strains his eyes in astonishment.

「Oh my, there is more than one today?」

「More than one you say?!」

「No, it’s one, isn’t it?」

「Look, they overlap with each other, but there is probably three of them…」

The moment Yuri said so, the black shadow descending from the sky split into three.

「Eeeh?!」

「Oh, there really were three of them!」

Mysterious golems descended in front of the surprised trio of Yanuel, the absolutely ecstatic and speechless Ditzen, and the happily smiling Yuri.
