Vol 2 Chapter 33 (1/2)

王都に向けて Towards the Capital

Once the shopping was done I had went to one somewhere/elsewhere

But because he signed as a proxy, the job was completed

Although I have a little feeling that he felt a little annoyed

「damn, It ‘s all Takeshi+ and Kenji’s fault」

「Karma circulates, Ojou-sama」

「What kind of punishment is that!?」

What do you know, IIya !?

「It’s a joke 。I believe Ojou-sama actions are very kind 」

「Hearing about what I don’t remember from someone else is scary… 」

「That’s true …… That is the wrong way to go about it」

Why is she blushi+ng?

「Ahh, whatever After dropping by the guild let’s head back to our inn After all we are leaving early tomorrow」

Although it is a sharets

Although it was only for a little while, I was able to visit Saira while doing our errands

IIya and I left the Blackse

See you later Saira

When we returned to the inn, a nude child was just exiting our bathroom

As she had let down her usual twin tails, I couldn’t inise her

That deep ocean blue eyes and lovely pointy ears

Rinnal-like cheeks with lesser dreams packed in the chest than me(TL: Author specifically said Rinnal-like cheeks so I chose to follow instead of using Rosy cheeks)

If you see these features, it becomes very obvious

「Wh… What! water is still dripping off you! Please don’t make the room wet! Til!」

「Hmm……？」

With the towel hanging fro her body, she left the bathroo water all over the room

Moreover, walking around the house like that!

Ahh, what’s this This is getting on my nerves!

「Ahh, enough! Please! Do not move away from the mat!」

「HeHey! Can you stop?」

I forced the wet culprit back to the mat and snatch her towel off her and quickly dried her head For now I’ll just wipe down her body and I will dry her hair one more time

「Mou……Please do not act like a child, Til」

「Tsk… Fussy lass」

How should I say, I cannot see you as anything else but a child

It seeot to keep my behavior in line

「Umu But it’s not bad」

In resignation, Til relaxed and left her body in my care

「Ok Ok、Please be patient and do not lean againstwet」

I carefully dry her hair

She has really beautiful hair and because of the length, caring for it must be a little difficult

I fully understand her pain for I also have difficulties with my hair

Furthermore, Til is a sloppy person

「Later ill use a wind crystal to dry you, otherwise you will catch a cold, Okay?」

「 I will leave it to you」

As the naical stone which creates wind

Although fire and wind crystal are originally are ic crystal, due to alchemist’s refinement, methods to produce various effects have been invented

It’s possible to say that an Alcheoals of seeking the truth after thorough research

…… Truth/ reality

Those words remind me of that woman

「――Libra, who is she?」

「――」

Til stiffened

「It does not concern you Don’t you worry 」

「If she is taken care of, I will be happy」

I recalled yesterday’s landslide

Did I think too much?

Did I see an illusion?

Whether it is the truth or not, I don’t know

But I a uneasy

Hasn’t she already set her sights on me?

After thinking about it, I shi+vered

How long have I been targeted?

Was it a coincidence?

Even Til does not seems to worry too much about where I came fromBut why did that woman…?

「Are you afraid of her? Alice Looking from your perspective, you are not to blaot to run away at full speed」

「Running away……」

「Right now, you can’t possibly defeat her」

From Til’s point of view, there is a power difference between me and Libra

Certainly, just being stared at by that pair of red eyes, I get the oami

「Do you know her well, Til? 」

「……Sigh Even if I were to hid it, it’s for naught That lass is my first disciple, Alice Your sister」

Disciple?

Til’s disciple?

The person chosen by the kind Til to be a disciple … did such a thing?

When I recalled Rinnal’s incident, I become nauseous

I felt sick just re what happened in Rinnal

「As you can see,It’s due to my misconduct that it happened Therefore I will end it」

「Finish it huh…」

Does she plan to kill her?

Even her own disciple?

「……Til, are you sure?」

「It’s neither good nor bad Nevertheless, it’s all in the past, and it’s so I have to do That’s all there is to it」

I don’t doubt her

It’s probably obvious

It’s because, Til is different from a novice like me

However……

「Your eyes seem sad」

I dropped onto my knees in front of Til and matched our eye level

Within that deep sea of blue, hid some flickers of uncertainty; I immediately understood

「You fool! You greenhorn Don’t say cheeky things about what you don’t understand」

The co that made my heart hurt a little

Say, Til?

Am I that women’s substitute?

However, I did not say those words out loud

The next day, Til snuck into ed her tightly and went to sleep As usual, I akened unreasonably and went to prepare for the journey

We quickly put our luggage into the carriage and left Rufin before dawn

Although I a able to meet Saira one last ti

「Let’s depart」
