Chapter 3: Light and Shadow Part 3 – translated by Azakura

Red Cloak stared blankly The Ballad of the Warrior Queen that he had just heard was not the same as the one he had heard before The bard’s attitude was also very strange Although he had kept his head bowed the whole time and hadn’t looked at Red Cloak at all, the constant questions raised by the song see asked of him

Red Cloak darted a glance at the bard and passed judg this piece today, don’t blaet hit by someone”

“Is that so?” The bard rubbed his nose and spoke rather innocently, “But LL told me that I have to ask such questions every time I arrive somewhere new! If the Warrior Queen happens to hear ive e the harp that he always carries with him for that answer and also relievethe Ballad of the Warrior Queen for at least three days every time I arrive at a new location”

When he finished speaking, the bard looked towards Red Cloak and asked, “What do you think? Why did the Warrior Queen want to leave? Is it because the Holy King did not love her, so staying with a lover that did not even love her was far too painful to bear? Or did the Holy King force her to leave? Or s difficult…”

Red Cloak interrupted the bard’s endless delusions and said in a displeasedthe ht know, the Warrior Queen could have just felt that the days passing by were too boring and left of her own accord”

He hadn’t expected that Red Cloak would actually answer his questions The bard e and pressed further “If the reason why she left was really as you said, that it was because her life was too boring, then what exactly was she looking at then?

Red Cloak coldly replied, “How should I know?”

The bard gave an “oh” and felt quite disappointed, but he dared not ask Red Cloak another question

The two travelers walked in silence for a while Suddenly, Red Cloak began to speak “Itat the warrior and cleric, her for thefro she had envisioned actually turned out to be quite boring”

As the bard listened to Red Cloak’s opinion, he was initially surprised, but as he carefully thought over what Red Cloak had said, he could not help but proclaim:

“Sohts! The happiness of which you speak is not obtained at the end of the war, but froht”

Upon hearing this, Red Cloak looked the bard in the eye and remained silent

The bard stopped in his tracks and began to chuckle Red Cloak also stopped and questioned hi at?”

The bard let out a huge s the Ballad of the Warrior Queen anyo with me to see him?”

“Who?”

The bard said in a matter-of-fact tone, “Of course, that would be Lorenzo Louis He’s my teacher and also the person that you nicknamed ‘LL’…”

“It’s you again! To think you would dare reet lost yesterday?!”

The bard was stunned He turned around to see the same patrol team from the day before The captain of the patrol, asfiercely at the bard He had also brought along five of his teaht towards the bard

As they caot a much clearer picture of the bard’s face He abruptly realized that the injury on the bard’s face was already close to being completely healed

Were we not ruthless enough yesterday? He felt a bit doubtful

Just my luck… I can’t believe we bumped into the patrol before we even reached a tavern The bard ca of just how terrible his luck could be

Noever, is not the same as last tile hand on uess ht, the bard once again faced his life with bri optimism

“Tch” The patrol captain paused for a moment and then turned to shout at his tea him in We’re on our way back to report our mission anyway”

After receiving the order, two ed forward and effortlessly grabbed a hold of the bard

In reality, the bard, who did not even have the strength to truss up a raw chicken,1 did not resist at all He looked at Red Cloak ide eyes, eagerly anticipating what kind of attack the latter would use first A fist to send two people flying siive them a kick?

As it was too difficult to overlook the fervent gaze of the bard, the patrol captain finally took notice of Red Cloak’s presence He coldly asked, “Are you his companion?”

“Nope, I don’t know him,” Red Cloak replied indifferently

Or maybe it’ll be a direct strike with her blade to hack them in two! LL said before that her temper has always been rather short… Hold on! What did Red Cloak just say?! The look the bard had on his face changed instantly

“A sensible guy, aren’t you! Take this man away” The patrol captain laid out his orders, and the two patrol ed the bard away

While being dragged away, the bard frantically turned back to shout, “Hold on a second! Red Cloak! Why aren’t you rescuing me?”

But he only limpse of a red-colored cloak as his head was forcefully wrenched back in place by the tere restraining his movements That almost sprained his neck and hurt so badly that every part of his face scrunched up in agony

At this point, the patrol captain was filled with suspicion He looked up and down at Red Cloak and bluntly commanded, “Remove your hood at once!”
