Vol 2 Chapter 104 (2/2)
「Makinaaaaaaa!!」
「Fun, I’」
I’ll listen to her circumstances, after I beat her down
Just when I thought that, Makina started to vanish――along with Rin-chan
「Deshi+!」
「Rin-chan!!」
I reached my arm out but, I didn’t make it in time――those 2 vanished, like mist
◇■◇■◇
「Does it hurt?」
「It’s okay nya, thank you very much」
Borrowing one roouided to, we had a futon layed out for Saira
Fortunately there isn’t a scar left on the shoulder that was recovered with heal
Just, the pain should still remain
「I couldn’t save Rin-san, nya……」
「That was……my fault」
The ti was probably, nowhere except when Jin-san first moved
「……No, Alice-san was not mistaken at all nyaDon’t suddenly cut down a comrade, that is Alice-san」
It’s so Makina to death with that ti is impossible for me
Even if I try thinking after that result came out, it really is impossible
But with that it can’t be such that it’s fine to expose Rin-chan to danger……!
What sort of thing is this!
Why did it come to this!
Would it have been better to turn back as I had thought!?
「Please keep it together nya, Alice-san!!」
As I sat before Saira’s pillow in seiza the fist I’d clenched, is softly grabbed
「Rin-chan is still, okay! The time to fret here, doesn’t exit nya!」
「Exactly……as you say」
Whether regrets or self reproach, this isn’t the ti
Rin-chan is alive, whatis there if I don’t trust in that until the end!
Hypothesizing that, where and by what means did they arrive?
Now is the tiather information even a moment faster
――I shall be intruding
It was at that moment that a voice called out fro screen
I give a reply and, a person suitable to be aa beautiful kimono and Jin-san came into the room from behind it
「I have no excuse for this in a place of recuperation do I」
「N, no, it’s okay nya」
「Aah, do notdown okay? With that method this side will also not worry」
That s crossed, on the cushi+on that theto flow
Jin-san went into seiza on the tata by at that person’s back
Making a mysterious face toward htly
「I believe that I have no excuse for how you got caught up in a troublesoize for the accident that my country caused」
――Accident?
「An accident, was it」
「UmuI have heard the situation from this Jin」
Signaling the Jin-san standing by at his back with his eye, Jin-san lowered his head slightly
Somehow, this person is a superior to Jin-san――apparently he’s a high up person
How to say this, he purposefully had his legs carry him all the way to this sort of place but, is it possible that this person――
Perhaps he realized the direction of hts from my expression, the man scratched his head as if he was embarrassed
「This is inexcusable, I still haven’t , I am called Enishi+I suppose I’m still not used to my rank」
Just as he said, he projected an unreserved at as a leader
To be sure he lost his oniisama because of the rebellion and, the days since he took over should still be few
「Thank you
/>
「Thank you for going out of your wayI a this while she’s laying down」
「I said that I know the circumstances, do not mind it」
As Saira started trying to soently stopped her with his hand
Certainly the other party is royalty but, we’re here because he called us over
As long as we don’t lose our etiquette it’s not necessary to be too mindful
I also nodded so that Saira wouldn’t get up
「Then, this is sudden but since I assuo on to the main issue」
That’s welcome, I nod
「Youhere but, this year――to precise right now at this moment, this country is on the brink of disaster」
「……Is this the er?」
「UmuTo say that’s the volcano’s eruption or such, it isn’t natural」
I suppose that even a volcano’s eruption is rather dangerous but, that would er
「On that i mountain, a monster is sealed」
「A monster is?」
「An ancientthat huenerations that was, sealed in that manner for a tis for generations」
Could that possibly, mean……
「Fu, Alice-donoLooking at that face does that mean you have also heard of that? Of that method to seal monsters」
「Is it truly, as the rumors say?」
「――Indeed」
――It’s such a thing
To ic beast’s seal, across 1000 years――they offered living sacrifices did they
It’s a conversation that makes me shudder but……is that currently a necessary conversation?
「Alice-dono, this isn’t the sort of conversation where anyone would do for that which is called a living sacrifice」
「What about, soic power for example? Does this imply I should be used as a sacrifice?」
「No, that’s wrong」
Wait?
A special person, necessary to the kingdoht!
「Miko!」
「Umu……Miko of the sealThat is the fadom」
But wait for me wait for me!
To be sure, that family is……
「――Right, it was destroyed」
Libra……!
It’s such a thing, I don’t intend to say that it would’ve fine if the sacrifices continued
Even so, most likely Libra layed her hands on that fa of 『This』……!
「My country has already been forced into a cornerPerhaps we should cross blades with the ic beast with desperate resolve when the seal comes undone, is there no way to somehow remake the sealOpinions are split on these probles, so it caht up in unnecessary suffering」
――I ca
The country’s royal guard, would it be more correct if I said shi+nobi? The event where Jin-san who is a shi+nobi attacked us
Who was I protecting?
The event where a certain family was destroyed, because of Libra
That Libra――kurozuku resentment toward elves
What kurozuku child
「Rin-chan is, the miko of the seal!」
Enishi+-san nodded gloomily
「I knew, the fact that Rin-dono is the family’s final survivorAs such, I overlooked it when Solt took her with him and left the countryEven now, I think that, if we could survive by using such a young child as a living sacrifice then it would be better to fight」
「Obviously!!」
No, it’s so of, choose the many and discard the few
That ain
But,is that which says, as if I’d let Rin-chan die!
「Further sacrifice to stretch out our ti sacrifice any but the act of
the act of stretching out despair for our children, grandchildren, our posterity」
To choose the present or, to choose the future, internal discord of that opinion’s divide was it
「Impossible, is Makina the rebellion’s side’s……a person on the side that called for Rin-chan to be used as a living sacrifice!?」
「I do not know that……I also, have basically no idea, who that girl is」
It can’t be, Makina is……I can’t feel that she ca Rin-chan as a living sacrifice
Even nohen the result has come out, I can’t think of it in that manner
If that’s what she was doing, there should’ve been many other opportunities
If it’s Makina’s power then perhaps she could’ve stolen Rin-chan, by beating me down from the front
「Just, the uncle who led the rebellion, shi+gen actually was not struck downSo unthinkable」
「That uncle ordered it and, Makina abducted Rin-chan, to use her as a living sacrifice?」
It ether
If you’re together with Makina even for a little while, you’ll understand that she isn’t such a child
Furthermore, that child of that time was……
Thinking back to those snake eyes, the muscles of my back froze
「……In any case, I understand the conversationGiven this the probability that Rin-chan has been, brought to that h isn’t it?」
「I can’t think of anything but that」
「I understand, having you teach me that alone is plentyThank you very much」
When I began to stand up, Jin-san gave me a look with exasperated eyes
「……I think this is ii mountain from this present when the sun has set? Do you want to die?」
「I can’t say so leisurely, I will definitely save, Rin-chan」
If I end up being too late I won’t finish grieving even if I grieve
「――I understand, I’ll also goIt’s the end if you beco alone and die a pointless death」
「……It would be a great help, if you’d show the way for me」
「Fu, since if the person nity as a ani will have nothing to stand on I suppose」
「……」
Let’s just say that it’s fine already
「Saira, please stay here and take it easy, since I’ll surely bring Rin-chan back with me」
「……Hai, the position of always just waiting is painful but, since I believe in you!」
After kindly stroking Saira as tears of frustration float on the edges of her eyes, I stand up
「To take Rin-dono back, it will becoen’s handEven if that isn’t so, if the seal co of hell……even our side will prepare for battle, and move to evacuate our populaceI pray for fortune in battle」
「Hai」
Soiven care here, a pursuit unit set out toward the mountain to take Rin-chan back
This king Enishi+ also, is doing what he can in his position
Even though it’s a position where he ht actually think that it would be better if Rin-chan was used as a living sacrifice……
If it’ll leave the root of evil to the future, fight now, is it
I feel that can’t be said easily
「……Do you get this, Alice-dono? If, if so undone happens at the suThat isn’t your opponent」
Hearing this h to leave it be
「I’ll be, as careful as I can」
I’ll be careful to, strike it down
The 2nd disciple of Ice and Snoill, unravel the misdeeds of her ane-disciple and, this country’s curse from ancient times
「……It’s even ineThat, massive snake」
Either way, I’ll save Rin-chan
That is all right now
「Let’s go」
「Aah」
Alongside Jin-san, I immediately jumped toward the mountain from the room’s hallway――
c104 Royal Capital Suood weather for today, there s ideal weather for travelIgnore the difficult stuff for now ignore it, today what I ll be doing is enjoying ainDeshi+, what s that That s a flower called a daisyProbablyI try stealthily asking SairaShe just angles her head and no particular reply coDaisyIf this were inal world, it d be a popular white wildflower that could be seen anywhereGlancing at Rin chan acting see by the roadside, Kyuu is sniffing and s itThat is that is I nodded toward Rin chan as she pointed at that nearby yelloildflowerThat is the king of wildflowers, the dandy lionIt ll bite if your hand gets nearFue Kyu 1 person and 1 animal frantically distance themselvesCuuutePeaceful issn t itMakina stretches her ar from the waterfall s cave to the royal capital is, truly peace itselfThat itself is how our journey east originally should have been issn t itAfter stroking the heads of Rin chan as she hid at my feet and Kyuu, I pilfer a dandelionIt s already finished bloohtly, the fluff rode the wind as such and rose all the way into the skyWa A In that manner, flower san s seeds fly into the distance you seeAnd then and then What becoain and, those seeds blooo Gao KyahaaKyui Those 2 who see nyaaIt is issn t itWith that feeling we fully enjoyed our journey along the wayThose who are truly strong, relax when it s tiI think that Till is too slovenly thoughWhile Rin chan is getting a ride from Makina while she s tired out between breaks, we arrived smoothly at the royal capital that s also our objective to an extent at noonWith our arrival by walking, there s a checkpoint established on the es and the like also traverseThere s an observation platform built at that checkpoint s cabin s side, further on here and there from that observation platformI suppose that there are probably lookouts stationed so as to surround the townThere seedoton principality as a natural stronghold or such that makes use of aysAnd soThe eye can reach it even fro it from up close it s quite impressive in another waythe mountains spire up, such that they connect to the royal capital s back sideIt see those reat mountains coated in snow, my sense of reverence can t be deniedNature, incredibleWe ll rest leisurely at an inn today and, let s cli her isn t it, MakinaU n, thewith danger go doith just that Oh Clearing the checkpoint by paying its toll, after that there s a recognizable face waiting for usIt s kurozuku out with doiThe structures that catch the eye are truly traditionalStone roofs on structures built of wood, the house doors are used as pulled doorsI found a shop with a dango curtain hung at the entranceRin chan is constantly staring with seeave Jin san a ride on our stagecoach and, after that ere brought to the castle withouta detourWill you not come to attack any cautious I gave a question to Jin san as he sat across fro up one side of his mouthIn front of a childIsn t that frankness unexpected for that hIf you intend to do soain you knowMakina s breath becaeHowever Makina, if he intended to do so him you knowBut how to say this, ever since I became like this, I ve kind of looked at male people s trained up muscles and it s certain that they catch my interest with an incredible isn t it or enviable isn t it thoughHave I becoe So, I wonder just ere invited to the castle then It s the king s order, you ll understand if you goKing Will weis itTo be sure, I was told that the rebellion was for equality rightOr rather if ihtly it s bothersome isn t itOn that note, I heard that it still hasn t been long since the rebellion ended butAahHowever regardless of whether it hasn t been long, it s certain that it did endIs it still busy in a variety of ways I suppose soLike it s someone else s business, youAre your circu the orders froanization I can t take it easy, that s how it isIs it possibly, the royal guard It s not soive a question an answer unexpectedly cohSolt san s well you knowOni chan, well Loves that which is deshi+ Hou It s not Hou okay, don t be convincedNn Rin chan, do you not know about who this person is On that noteDon t know Are they not siblings Is it a delicate proble our way in for nowFurthere is a little ways off when compared to kurozukumeIf Rin chan was separated before she caht also be, possible That Rin chan, was suddenly grabbed by her neck like a cat and lifted upEh I was so taken aback that, the moment where I couldn t move was vitalThe culprit is Jin san that isn t the caseWhat are you doing Even Jin san is, asking that with a surprised appearanceMakina The one lifting Rin chan fro next tovoice caBecause, on guard, being trapped, was, bothersoe of atmosphere Makina s obsidian eyes are, split vertically like a reptile sThose eyes are, almost a snake s Chii Jin san movedThe katana he pulled free from his hips too short, is it a kodachi then He cut toward Makina with thatPerhaps because of the difference in experience, his judgnetis the chance to take Makina down, I was struck with that angerKu ku Elf, well done, as a reward, I will, let you goWhat is this presence This is Makina Makina Please cohtanxietyYou re not the sort of child ould do such a thing Please, release Rin chan nya Fro faced with caution Saira who had sat the furthest in, leaped at MakinaHindrance, die Along with those words, an ice crystal manifested Without a chant
