Volume 2 Chapter 11 (1/2)
The next day, just like the previous day, I ate the breakfast that Minnalis had cooked, made preparations and we both left the inn
There had been no need to wake up early today, so I’d gotten out of bed quite some time after the sun had risen, and by the ti
In that city, in which people froathered, many stores were open once the sun had climbed its way into the sky, and around noon,business – suspicious hawkers with unknown oods at a bargain
This was a world without any precise clocks like those in japan, so there were no ical clock and how high the sun was in the sky, but looking at the whole city, I found it mysterious how the number of open stores and the times they opened remained the same day after day
Well, I didn’t have a clock uesses, so I didn’t know for sure, either
Theplace for today’s coate
It wasn’t that far fro that short distance, we had to walk past s that did draw my interest, but today, I had to put the sidetracked, we headed for the reed upon
“Hmm, eren’t the first to arrive,” I said,
There was already a silhouette at the east gate as we approached it
We were still quite some distance away, so it seemed that he hadn’t noticed us, but I could see the boy fro there by hi to soldiers orking gatekeepers of the east gate
This was a world where brightly-colored hair that seemed to celebrate the existence of isekais was norolden hair a the crowd
“Did you want us to be first to arrive?” Minnalis asked
“Hmm? No, not really,” I said “It’s just that I feel like we left quite early, and I hadn’t thought that anyone would have left earlier His enthusiasm is a bit, you know…”
Huh, come to think of it, I hadn’t even learned his name Well, I probably wouldn’t see hiht of him as ‘boy’ until we parted
“Well, whatever, it doesn’t o,” I said
“Yes, Goshujin-sama”
Once we had closed some of the distance, the boy noticed us and approached us with a so, aren’t you late? I thought I’d gotten the ,” he said
“Late? No, I believe we have arrived quite early,” said Minnalis
She was right Compared to most times that adventurers went out to hunt, now could be considered a little early In fact, we hadn’t decided on a ti as early or late
“What are you saying, it’s much later than yesterday, isn’t it? And don’t speak tofrom your appearance, you’re a beast-person as well Don’t coet on ry words ca at Minnalis; he had separated the world into ranks as he had seen fit and was looking at her with contempt
The countless eyes that looked atthat I was an eneers that had looked at Minnalis with contempt because she was a beast-person
The exact sa in the chest, these eyes that you could find anywhere
At that point, this boy was already confir was that he didn’t stop there
“That’s right, o back early yesterday? Because of that, we couldn’t train our coordination!” he said
“I’ all of a sudden? I couldn’t understand
“Train our coordination We can’t just work as a party together without knowing each other’s abilities,” the boy said, wearing an expression as if to say, “Good grief”
The first thing I couldn’t understand is e had to work together as a party What was this guy thinking? The inside of his head was even ht
I was so du, see
“Well, it’s fine if you can just stick out asas you hold theet to ic Ah, you, don’t stick out toomy spells’ power, and unlike the slave, I’d feel sorry if you got caught up in the? That he wants to use us as a uy
Not only that, but he wanted us to stick out and act as bait, and on top of that, he would use spells without caring if Minnalis got caught in theht that my opinion on the boy had reached the lowest point, but then the floor dropped further down
It was a little surprising; I hadn’t expected that I would think so lowly of this boy that I hadn’t cared about at all
“…”
The expression vanished from Minnalis’s face
It was likely that she had activated her skill because she was unable to control her expression on her own any longer; sometimes it seems that she’s over-reliant on this skill Perhaps it was best if I warned her about it later
Still, ah, maybe I should have asked the boy’s name… No, maybe there was no reason to learn his naless inforht to kill hiht with that?” she whispered back
“Yeah, use poison so that he can’t be identified, andit takes to act, yeah? It seeet about that”
The boy’s attitude could be described as ordinary for a nobleman He probably hadn’t left home yet, and it’s not like I couldn’t understand his attitude of looking down on slaves and beast-people, but that didn’t ht and rong during h this world Morals and people’s circu hat I thought
And this boy had shown hostility and contempt towards my accomplice Even if he hadn’t done that, he’d said that he would injure Minnalis, despite knowing that she was my slave
There wasn’t any reason at all to hold uy like this So, Minnalis should do it if she wanted to If she intended to drown herself in blood, I would stop her, but if she acted rationally, there was no need for me to restrain her murderous intent
“I don’t mind if you have hiood formy important accomplice made a fool of,” I whispered
