Chapter 267: It was preparation (1/2)

Chapter 267: It was preparation

“The sky is already graying Hah…looks like this was an all-nighter” (Makoto)

At a place a little further away fro to the portal that let’s you go to the floors you have already been to, the far away sky was faintly changing in color

It ray

The hter

Noill return to the hotel, arrange hts on the current situation, and practice with the bow for recreation… yeah, there’s no doubt it will be o without sleeping for several days though

Must be thanks to my youth

In just this kind of ti

Normally, there’s quite a lot of ti in ability as well, so there’s not

“Well then, let’s return to the hote—huh?” (Makoto)

I call both Akashi+-san and Yuduki-san who used the portal together with me

Before, Akashi+-san had an ashen face and had a hand on the ith her face facing down breathing heavily Then, how is she now Her face is ghastly pale and Yuduki-san is lending her a shoulder

Can’t be helped

Since then, her , and had remembered what she did and for whose sake after all

For the sake of ato increase the a to reel in Yuduki-san, Iroha-chan, Shougetsu-san and the others

Moreover, as if rubbing salt to the wound, the one who ordered this was the person that see and dependable ally, Iroha-chan’s mother, Haruka-san

There’s a lot she can’t si for her in order to have her becoth, and yet, not only was she lured, she was forced to change sides

“I…what have I done…” (Akashi+)

“Akashi+, just think about returning and getting rest” (Yuduki)

But Akashi+-san is still the better one

Even when looking back at her

She hasn’t hurt people willingly for the sake of Tomoki, or killed anyone yet

That’s why…she probably can still return

I think it is fine

Those three that I killed have long since killed people for his sake

If those three were trash to begin with and didn’t think anything about it…I probably would have thought they were still saveable

But those girls were not

They were all girls that had strong conviction and ideals

That’s why it was ‘too late’

There’s no point in dispelling the char as there’s no , in the end, they will just…

…

Eh?

Why was I able to tell all that in that one instant?

Hain?

It happens every now and then

Even though it would be pretty useful if I were able to activate it at will, I still am not able to

Yeah, I could tell

When I once again look back, I could roughly grasp the e- of those three and also their upbringing

If I had to put it in words, it would be as if a drawer I didn’t know of had been stealthily added in e sensation

Those three were originally the daughters of nobles in the Empire

They held deep concerns towards the current situation of the E countries, and did their best to try and bring their points to the center of the Empire in a fair and square manner

But it was the misfortune of them that Tomoki was in the Empire at that time

Ah, so this is the Pione person

It is certainly true that if she is like this, she would definitely hate me

I have killed a close friend of hers after all

Or more like, to think I would see the face of the woh I haven’t ure was already inside ry

Truly a strange feeling

“Monster huh It is true that I a Even I can tell that” (Makoto)

“Eh?”

“It is nothing Let’s go—hm?” (Makoto)

I unintentionally azes that are normally directed at me say

Yuduki-san sharply reacts to it, but I just wash it away

It is not really sooing to urge them to return, familiar presences appeared from the portal

Oh, it really is the two birds one stone

“Now, let’s return If we don’t return to our beds while it is still dark, ill create unnecessary worry”

“We somehow made it”

“Sniff sniff, this is black A black hole, you know? A bottomless pit, you know?”

It seems like the three are in a hurry

One of them looks incredibly reluctant

“Beren, Hokuto, shi+, what are you guys doing so late?” (Makoto)

“Geh, Waka-sama!”

…

He seriously went ‘Geh’

“You’re not gonna say you went to the labyrinth to train, right?” (Makoto)

“Ah, no Uhm, you see…” (Beren)

Unclear words came out from Beren

“How should I explain it…” (Hokuto)

Hokuto is the sa” (shi+)

shi+’s words were clear, but it is not the answer I aain ask

I a

My tone is not severe since the beginning

“If I had to put it in words…it is e to say, but it is like preparation” (Beren)

Preparation?

Hokuto also nodded at the words of Beren

shi+ was discouraged and sighed

I should try asking the continuation fro?” (Makoto)

“Thanks for asking, Waka-sa eon” (shi+)

“?!!”

“Hoh hoh, and?” (Makoto)

For now, let’s leave aside the talk about tortoise shell and kidnap, and see what she has to say

Froazes Beren and Hokuto direct at her, there must be some sort of reason behind this

“Froh for us Mainly for me and Beren-dono But from tomorroait, that’s today? Ah, my sleep time!” (shi+)

“Continue” (Makoto)

“Even so, if ere to bring the e the labyrinth, so we decided on gaining experience first by going beforehand” (shi+)

“Uhu” (Makoto)

“Beren said that we should prepare ourselves beforehand in order to accompany Waka-saht” (shi+)
