TN note: Wow, Kaori is translated up to 12 by as of this post. I’m not sure I can keep translating after the semester starts but I’ll at least do chapter 12. Also, I found an interjections dictionary so unless there are no English equivalent, things like Un will be Mhm

…… An unfamiliar ceiling.

No, I'm being a bit persistent.

I am currently in the middle of shutting myself away. In the blankets of the bed.

Embarra.s.sing~!

Oh well, Earl is dandy and a good guy, and I’m “supposedly 12-year-old”.

Should I relax for the next 2 days until the carriage for the capital departs…

I cannot teleport until I get to the capital. I have time, but my absence will likely be noticed. I can’t risk it. Well, there is no problem because I already prepared what I needed.

Didn't I say I can't sell the knife because there's only one left? That was about “folding knives hidden for self-defense”. The other one is a Randall hunting knife openly attached to my waist.

Eh, too many weapons? No, they are necessary if I get attacked by thieves or flock of monsters on the way. A revolver and a concealed weapon are required in preparing for jamming and if someone rushes in while I'm changing clothes. The knives are for emergencies but they can also be used for everyday tasks. Like cutting a goblin’s ear.

Oh, there's no need for collecting a part of dead bodies, is that so?

The short sword is really just for intimidation. Because even if the handgun is seen, it wouldn't be thought of as a weapon, there is no guarantee that a wicked person who catches and sells people who'd underestimated me like an unarmed girl and pick a fight won't appear. It’s like a protective charm.

Oh, I practiced properly, of course!

A few days ago, the captain’s room of the private mercenary group “Wolf Fang”.

”…You've come, little girl”

The captain hangs his head in dejection from Mitsuha's return. It is a mercenary “group” but he is called “captain”. No one calls him by his name. He is simply called captain. Things such as their names spreading isn't a good thing for mercenaries. It's fine if the name of the group became famous.

“We are ready, come.”

”Ho-ho”

Looking at the weapons placed on the long desk at the shooting practice ground, Mitsuha raised a happy voice.

”Here are the products from your order. First, a short sword for decoration. It’s not an antique. It's newly built. Antiques are expensive and fragile. With a sheath. Fasten it to a belt. No sword belt. You won't be able to put that on with a gun belt”

Mhm mhm, It's small so I could somewhat manage.
