Volume 3 Chapter 6 (1/2)

We managed to catch up to Luna and the girls how had departed to Flaregard ahead of us. I had planned to rendezvous with them once we arrived at the city however thanks to Til’s reckless actions, I was unexpectedly reunited with Luna.

[Youya, we finally met.] (Luna)

That Luna was extremely elated after reuniting with me. Her fluffy tail were shaking around energetically, causing Raptor to feel ticklish as her tail continuously brushed his neck.

[Why did you decide to jump over from the carriage? Don’t you know that it’s dangerous?] (Youya)

[Its okay because Youya would definitely catch Luna.] (Luna)

Sigh. She’s a hopeless child.

[Luna-chan, long time no see.] (Phil)

[Uhn. Phil. Long time no see.] (Luna)

Luna is a shy girl who is quite vicious towards strangers, however she had already eaten several meals together with Phil. Furthermore Phil who worked as a receptionist had experience in handling new adventurers. Luna right now was completely familiar with Phil.

[It’s about time for you to let go of me. It’s starting to get difficult to control Raptor.] (Youya)

[Then it can’t be helped.] (Luna)

Luna who had been clinging onto me like a koala finally relented and properly sat on Raptor’s neck, facing forward and leaning back onto me.

[Was there any trouble on the trip this time?] (Youya)

[A little.] (Luna)

[Then I’m relieved. So could you tell me what the trouble was?] (Youya)

[There were several men who tried to bully us, so Luna chased them off! Luna did her best.] (Luna)

[That isn’t a little problem at all.] (Youya)

Although this small girl looks like quiet and gentle, her personality was extremely curious, impulsive and fast. I sympathize with those adventurers who dared to lay a hand on them. The girls were basically level 30 and talented. They were also capable of working together, it wasn’t an equal match at all.

[It’s okay! Just as planned, when Luna couldn’t see their levels she ran away and asked for help.] (Luna)

Before I departed, I had made sure to tell them to confirm their opponents’ levels before engaging, since they would have higher levels if the level couldn’t be seen. Especially at this level, there are very few cases of adventurers who only had high levels relying on their status. Afterall, those adventurers wouldn’t survive very long, making it better for us to expect that everyone is adequately trained. Thus, the moment someone’s level was higher than them, it would be possible for them to escape if it was just to run as the caravan’s guards would cooperate in their protection.

[It’s difficult being pretty.] (Youya)

I began patting Luna’s head. For the cute girl with fox ears, the beautiful elf and the elegant Selene which gave off the atmosphere of a noble, they were all extremely sweet on a person’s eyes. I have never felt awkward being with them, but it does entice a lot of trouble.

[Luna is troublesome. So Youya has to always be with Luna. If Youya is around then everything is fine.] (Luna)

Luna began placing more weight onto her back. This girl is truly too pampered, however it doesn’t feel like a bad thing for now. Let’s be sure not to seperate from her as much as possible.

We finally arrived at Flaregard. There were many wooden buildings in Greenwood, however the only buildings here are those made of bricks and stones. Wood is difficult to obtain in Flaregard plus it’ll be safer with materials that doesn’t catch fire easily. Since there were many mines here capable of obtaining rare ores and a sacred flame capable of melting all metals, there are many workshops line up in the city and many stores selling equipment. However, it wasn’t just that. There were many people consisting of those working in the mines, blacksmiths and customers who wished to look at their items. So long as there are many stores around, naturally many people will crowd in the area. Furthermore many of the customers here were adventurers whose purpose was to obtain excellent weapons and enter the dungeons.

My first move was to deposit Raptor into a stable, then the three of us headed to the open plaza near the entrance of the city to wait for Til and Selene to arrive.

[Youya, Luna is hungry. Let’s eat while waiting for Til and Selene to arrive.] (Luna)

[Ah that’s a good idea. Since it’s troublesome to look for a store let’s head over to the inn that I arranged from the guild. The food there is definitely going to be good.] (Youya)

[Looking forward~] (Luna)

It was the perfect timing as I was beginning to get hungry as well. Above all, I had a craving for meat. During my journey with Phil, we had eaten all the eel meat I had and continued to eat preserved meals for the rest of the trip, however they weren’t that delicious.

[I support that thought. Luna-chan, the food in Flaregard is delicious, but truth is their alcohol is more famous than their cooking you know.] (Phil)

[Phil, don’t recommend Flaregard’s alcohol to Luna. Luna was already drunk with 5 cups of wine, it’ll be too difficult.] (Youya)

[Ahh. Then it would be better not to do that then.] (Phil)

Luna began scratching her neck.

Dwarfs were natural drunkards, thus it was natural that the alcohol concentration in their drinks would be extremely high. With an alcohol content of 80%, it is too early for the girls to drink it.

[Ah. Youya, Luna, Big sis! We finally found you.] (Til)

Til and Selene finally arrived as they started walking towards us.

[It’s your long-awaited reunion with the cute Til-chan!] (Til)

Til quickly jumped into my chest and looked at Phil’s face before grinning. Then, she let go.

[Youya you’re having it tough ehh. If you have a jealous girlfriend such as my big sis.] (Til)

[Hey Til, what is that supposed to mean.] (Phil)

[Exactly as it sounds like. Getting all jealous with this small bit of skinship.] (Til)

As expected of the sisters. Til was completely dominating and teasing Phil, who although was more experienced was unable to escape and beginning to panic.

[It’s been a long time, Uncle Youya. I’ve missed you too.] (Selene)

[Selene, I heard that you worked hard while I was away.] (Youya)

[Of course. In our evening training I’ll show you by landing a point.] (Selene)

As expected, Selene was much more mature and didn’t jump in like Luna and Til did. She was much more calm as compared to the other two.

[Phil, Til. Let’s stop playing around and head towards the inn.] (Youya)

[Ah just hold on for a moment. I’m in the middle of punishing her] (Phil)

[Oneechan. I give I give. It hurtss. It’s so embarrassing to do this in the middle of town.] (Til)

As easily as she was caught, Til was tossed aside as she held onto her buttocks.

[Til, you should be glad that I didn’t make you take off your skirt and panties.] (Phil)

Looks like even now she had been letting Til off. It wouldn’t had been funny if she had stripped her in public.

[Could it be. Since Luna has been monopolising Youya, you’ve started to become even more jealous?] (Til)

Since I was intrigued by what Til said, I looked at Phil as she turns away. Her elven ears were starting to turn red.

[Just a little. Only a little bit. It’s not like I planned to do anything about it.] (Phil)

It was my first time seeing Phil behave like this as Til saw an opening and fled, hiding behind me.
