Chapter 255: Beren’s report (1/2)
Chapter 255: Beren’s report
There’s a garden, and ere guided to the shed there
Even if the hotel is big, it is still strange to have a shed at the third floor of a hotel, and on top of that, there’s a garden
From theof the rooarden
No well, it does feel strange to have pal colors, but I think this enters into the category of a japanese garden
I don’t have ardens after all
I a like: what the hell is this?
The inside of the house is tiled and the rooms were covered in tatami mats
It may be a mix of japanese and european style, but it is a bitthis way
Probably because my house felt similar to this
Nevertheless…there’s 4 rooh for two people to walk side by side
How fearsome is Chihiro Man Rai restaurant
“No, Waka-sa out the rooain
Well, even if I say guide, he siarden, and made me seat at the seat of honor
Around the square table, there’s a nu I see for the first time in this world as well, but for me, it is a fresh view
It is been awhile since I have seen a room without chairs
When I sit, Mio beckons Iroha-chan and both of theest Beren to take a seat too, but he stayed standing
‘It would be outrageous to sit before Tomoe-sama comes’, apparently
The Forest Oni, shi+, in a terrible twist of fate, respects Eris and isa lot of her speech and conduct, but in this kind of situations, she hasn’t been able to completely mimic her
At her roots, shi+ is a serious and athletic type of girl, so she hasn’t taken a sit either
If it were Eris, she would have the guest Iroha-chan sit, and while at it, she would also sit as well, no doubt about it
Seems like Akua and Eris are pretty admired by their juniors, but the athletic type ones, no matter if male or female, are easily attracted to Akua’s side, but for some reason, shi+ is one of the worst cases
Her way of fighting is one that’s rare in Forest Onis, close range cos around a metal rod that doesn’t match her small stature
In this part as well, she is not similar to Akua and Eris
Hokuto who is at her side, is one of the 4 Arkes
He is a serious person and likes fights
We don’t interact much, but I heard from Tomoe that he likes ninjas
His looks are that of a big ood build, and yet, he has a technical battle style using strings
The reason these tere chosen to accompany us this time was because, from Tomoe’s perspective, ‘they are the casts that fit the best in tered me to take the seat of honor, is probably the person within the Elder Dwarfs that I speak with the most
In terood amount of theic, he can use self-buffs and healing, but the otherhi style is to use a variety of equipe of those, he aims for a decisive strike with his axe
My iic warriors
Hm, she is here
“Sorry for the tardiness” (To about the people from the Kuzunoha Company that have come with us to Lorel, I felt the presence of soy, To that Mio, Iroha-chan, and I were sitting, she nods and finds her floor cushi+on to sit on
“Sorry about leaving you a troublesome matter like that” (Makoto)
“It’s okay Aside fros that seem to be delicacies as well, so I think ill be able to enjoy the meals here for a few days” (Tomoe)
“As expected of Toot the chance to answer, Mio makes a thumbs up satisfied
“Leave it to me, Mio As we journey, ill eat their specialties That is one of the good parts about journeys-ja” (Tomoe)
“Just as you say Fried rice, I wonder just how good of a rice dish it will be” (Mio)
It is rare to see Tomoe and Mio be so in sync, and they are all sood work-ja Now then, take a seat already Let’s hear your report” (Tooodas there’s no troublesoreat
The three heed the words of Tomoe and sit
…In seiza
N-No well, it is true that that’s not incorrect, but is that okay?
By the way, I aed, Mio looks like she is in seiza, but she is actuallyseiza
Tomoe is used to it already, and Iroha-chan did it naturally so she is most likely used to it as well, but…I haven’t seen Beren and the others doing seiza at Asora…
Well, they did it thein”
The three look at each other and Beren nods
The report begins with Beren huh
If I remember correctly, he entered the country froes
Seems like it was because the dwarfs he is fa at the north side
“Beren huh Fine, begin” (Tomoe)
“Yes I received the order to act independently from Waka-sama and the others, and to enter the country froather infore and passed the mountain belt to reach Kannaoi” (Beren)
“The Tortoise Soul e?! The one at the north national border…” (Iroha)
“Ah, yeah That’s right, Ojou-san” (Beren)
“Iroha, sorry but, please stay silent for a bit Hirl is Iroha Fate brought us together, and she is a guest that will be acco us for a while Then Beren, continue” (Tomoe)
Now that I think about it, we didn’t properly introduce her… I feel like they already knew
“Yes… after I visited the village of my acquaintance dwarfs, I traversed to mostly settlements of deh the good will of demi-humans was towards hyumans, and also, the attitude of the hyumans towards the demi-humans” (Beren)
“As expected, it was a lot better compared to other countries?” (Tomoe)
“Yes But…both sides had the influence of that special existence called Wise Accurately speaking, the good will of the demi-humans is directed towards the Wise, and this indirectly affects their vieards the hyumans in this country that treat the Wise well The comparatively softer behaviour the hyumans have towards the demi-humans is also…because the Wise are tolerant with the demi-humans, so it indirectly affects them as well” (Beren)
…Fumu
If the Wise are japanese, they would definitely treat the demi-humans more equally than most of the hyumans in this world
The Wise were loved by the demi-humans, and as a result, the hyu the Wise shelter were favorably seen
Favorably huh
It so deeper would be uncouth
This is allowing them to have a better impression with each other compared to other countries, so if their relationshi+p is also better, there’s no need to touch the topic
“That’s hen the absence of the Wise is long, there’s the tendency that the relationshi+p between hyumans and demi-humans deteriorates There have been conflicts recorded in the past” (Beren)
“That’s a lie-desu! It is because the demi-humans try to advocate for too much authority—” (Iroha)
“Iroha, ill hear that later Don’t make me say it so many times” (Tomoe)
“Y-Yes, sorry” (Iroha)
“The first dwarf village I questioned didn’t interact much with hyumans Of course, there weren’t conflicts between thees, there was indeed that kind of reality No doubt about it” (Beren)
“We are not doubting you, Beren Continue We have already understood the relationshi+p between demi-humans and hyumans, so move on” (Toht to To my journey, I told the clearly skilled craftsrating about the ‘Kuzunoha Coot pretty proactive about it We have already ements” (Beren)
Ah, if I remember correctly, I heard that from Tomoe before That there were quite a lot of people aside froe he went to, that want toproactive about it doesn’t exactly mean that the settlements are fed up with hyumans, but I heard that more than half of the the people that Beren has already spoken to in the near future
The custo interview
“This is only to confirm but, is there any race or settlement there that is deeply involved with the current Lorel?” (Makoto)
“Of course, no This is a strict order froet a single word of it” (Beren)
“Thanks Then, there’s so I want to ask before you continue” (Makoto)
Regarding the mysterious sprite that Beren probably knowssprite that has a beard, and yet, it is cute
Well…it is the beard
“If it is infor the journey, ask me as ht, what in the world is a Marikosan?” (Makoto)
“…Marikosan, huh” (Beren)
“Yeah” (Makoto)
The tension of Beren lowers
It feels like he felt despondent theI heard of it is that they are sprites that live eon Since they are earth sprites, they probably have connections with us dwarfs, but…in terms of details…I am truly sorry!!” (Beren)
“Ah, no, there’s no need to apologize” (Makoto)
“Things I knoould be…they are around this size They are girls with an overall cute appearance Also, they arecaps, or have beast ears Anyways, no matter which one it is, they all like to wear a hat” (Beren)
O…oooh…
Detailed information came out!
As expected of Beren!!
But wait…so me here
What part?
Uhth is decent, butThere was also information that they have a number of mysterious special characteristics from Spirits and other sprites” (Beren)
As I try to think about what part of Beren’s explanation was bothering me, his explanation of Mariko-san continued
Overall cute gir—Ah?!
That’s it!
“The Marikosans are only girls? Isn’t that pretty rare as a race?” (Makoto)
Well, there are races like the Gorgons, but frankly speaking, I haven’t ons
There’s no doubt they are quite the rare race
By the way, I have not met theons, races that only have males It is apparently pretty rare as well, but they do exist
If it is only knowledge, I know of the Ogre Rex, a type of Oni race, and the Veil Gazer, a type of one-eyed deory of races, I feel like their name should bethat lacks credibility, but I heard that if you have a special crystal and fulfill a number of prerequisites, races other than Marikosan can…uhm…’increase’” (Beren)
“Increase? Ah, like in a reproductive kind of way? The propagation type?” (Makoto)
“I…wonder…” (Beren)
With a troubled expression, Beren is stuck in how to respond
Can’t be helped
After finally gathering outward features, this new infors to ‘increase’, what’s with that? We learned one thing and then even ot piled up
“…Fro it a peculiar race, aren’t they just a washout version of Spirits?” (Mio)
Mio voices out a deduction of hers
It is true that he said they had similar characteristics of Spirits and other sprites
