Chapter 29 - 29: Tsubasa: Those with Wings (2/2)
Tsl note: I don't get this reference.Can someone explain?
”Kue?”(Firo)
”No, this is fine.”(Naofumi)
Does Firo herself notice the change?
I don't understand this creature any more.
”Well...no matter how I think about it it's surprising. Yup.”(Slave Trader?)
The slave trader continuously wipes cold sweat while observing Firo.
”Kue?”(Firo)
Firo became huge width-wise and now resembles an Owl-like demon.
Where did the figure of a friendly ostrich disappear to?
”Well, I want an honest answer. What was the demon that was inside of the egg you sold me?”(Naofumi)
In any case...
When I point my finger threateningly, Firo prepares to attack.
”Kueeeeee!”(Firo)
The slave trader hastily checks a bunch of documents.
”This is strange. It says here that the egg Hero-sama purchased was a Phirorial egg.”(Slave Trader)
”This?”(Naofumi)
”Kueee!”(Firo)
I throw some food at Firo, who skilfully swallows it all in one go.
”Well...”(Slave Trader)
That reminds me, I haven't heard that growth sound from Firo for a while now.
Is this her final ȧduŀt form?
tsl note: Mega Evolution = Loli form
”However, Hero-sama. It's only been a few days since you have purchased that egg, I take my hat off you.”(Slave Trader)
”Don't deceive me with compliments. What kind of egg was that.”(Naofumi)
”Umm... Is this the appearance the demon had in the beginning?”(Slave Trader)
”Nope”(Naofumi)
I explained about Firo's growth to the slave trader.
”It was a normal Philorial for half the time?”(Slave Trader)
”Ah, I stopped trying to understand this demon.”(Naofumi)
”Kue?”(Firo)
I feel a little irritation at Firo who looks at me with a cute pose and tilted head.
Whose fault do you think it is that we're here.
”Kueee”(Firo)
*SuriSuri*She snuggles her entire body on me. Then I'm embraced by her huge wing, It's hot, Firo.
”Mu.....” (Raphtalia)
Raphtalia raises her eyebrows and takes my hand.
”Kue?”(Firo)
Firo and Raphtalia stare at each other
”What's your problem?”(Naofumi)
”Uh, Nothing”(Raphtalia)
”KueKue”(Firo)
I say nothing. I wonder what's going on.
”So? How about it?”(Naofumi)
”Well, That is...”(Slave Trader)
It is pretty awkward in front of the slave trader.
Don't you know all kinds of demons? Aren't you supposed to breed and sell demons?
”Anyway, for the time being let me call an expert so she can be inspected, is that Ok? Yup”(Slave Trader)
”????”(Naofumi?)
”Kue!?”(Firo)
”I understand, it might take a while before the expert comes though. Yup”(Slave Trader)
”Well that's fine. If anything goes wrong, I demand consolation money.”(Naofumi)
”Kueee!?”(Firo)
It seems Firo objects my answer by flapping.
However, a subordinate of the slave trader attached a collar to Firo and brought her into a cage.
Partially due to the fact that we are here, Firo enters obediently.
”Well then, I'll come pick her up tomorrow. Have an answer by then.”(Naofumi)
Raphtalia and I then leave the tent.
”Kueeeeeeee!”(Firo)
I was surprised at the loud voice from the tent.
That evening, the storekeeper of the hotel suddenly calls for me.
”Umm Hero-sama”(Storekeeper of the hotel)
”hm? What do you need?”(Naofumi)
”A visitor has come to see you.”(Storekeeper of the hotel)
Who is it? While I was thinking the storekeeper points to the counter. A man who I don't recognise is sitting there.
”Do you have some business with me?”(Naofumi)
”Um... I am on an errand from the Demon dealer.”(Errand guy)
Demon dealer...Ahh, that slave trader. Certainly you can't introduce yourself in public as such.
”So is there something wrong?”(Naofumi)
”Ummm, we want to return the demon that is being held there.”(Errand guy)
”What!?”(Naofumi)
It's only been a few hours since then... What could have happened?
When Raphtalia and I return to the tent, Firo's cry can still be heard.
”Iya, Iya, I apologize for the disturbance at this time of night.”(Slave Trader)
The slave trader has a tired face while he greets us.
”So what went wrong? We had a promise to meet tomorrow.”(Naofumi)
”Yes, that was my intention too, but Hero-sama's demon is slightly troublesome.”(Slave Trader)
”Kueeeeeee!!”(Firo)
Firo behaves violently inside the cage until she spots us.
”She destroyed 3 iron cages, injured 5 of my subordinates, and 3 other demons have suffered serious wounds. Yup”(slave Trader)
”I'm not compensating you.”(Naofumi)
”I take my hat off to the Hero-sama who thinks of money at such a time. Yup”(Slave trader)
Is this slave trader a mȧsȯċhɨst?
”So, what is it? did you find anything?”(Naofumi)
”Well... It seems there's a witness report that says this one is similar to a King of Philorial.”(Slave Trader)
”The king?”(Naofumi)
”Actually it's a lord of a group of Philorial, it's a story that is famous among adventurers.”(Slave Trader)
This slave trader seems to have quite an extensive information network.
Well, there is a big group of wild Philorial and there are stories that they have a king who manages them.
The master of Philorial which rarely appear... And it seems Firo is one of them.
”Hmm”(Naofumi)
Is this information reliable?
Maybe removing the slave crest, killing Firo, and letting the shield absorb her body.
Even though I can absorb blood and feathers, it is still my demon. Only the demon trainer shield will appear.
Or the level I have is insufficient.
I stare at Firo.
”...Kue?”(Firo)
Though the race does not appear on the shield, she is not hostile.
”So, what now?”(Naofumi)
”She is called the Philorial King, or Queen.”(Slave Trader)
”Is it because Firo is female?”(Naofumi)
”Yup, it is awkward for me to do business with Hero-sama under these conditions...”(Slave Trader)
I observe the destruction caused by Firo around the tent.
Everything is broken!
I have no plans to sell her.
”...Sama”(Unknown Voice)
”N? What was that unfamiliar voice I just heard?”(Naofumi)
”uh,Ummm....” (Raphtalia)
Raphtilia holds her mouth and points to the cage where Firo was held. The slave trader is also speechless.
I look back at the slave trader and we trade puzzled looks.
”Masssterr~~~”(Yup, Firo)
A nȧkėd blonde girl with wings extends her hand towards me.
