Chapter 70 (1/2)

**Proof reader : Truffle**

A few minutes after I running in the direction where Meru flew away, I feel a presence of person following me. Though I was running at a considerable speed, I couldn't completely shake off the presence behind. It's kinda bothered me so I stopped on the spot and look back, there was....

[Oh? Why did you stop your feet? We should hurry to find Meru-sama] (Freud)

[....what are you doing here?] (Wazu)

There was Naminissa's personal butler, Freud with his usual shady smile. He still keep his cool face even when I glared at him.

(TL : Change Floyd to Freud --- フロイド = Furoido = Freud --- it's sounds better for me)

[The reason why I was here is simple. Under Naminissa-sama’s command, I’m going to cooperate with Wazu-sama] (Freud)

[....cooperation? I didn’t ask for help] (Wazu)

[Do you have any idea about the location where Meru-sama was taken?] (Freud)

[No. I’m counting on you then!] (Wazu)

I will receive his goodwill obediently this time. I must not lose sight of my purpose. The most important thing now is to return Meru to my head.

[So, where was Meru taken to? It’s a hot spring town in the north, no?] (Wazu)

[Yes, it seems there is no doubt, and about the girl that the peddler was talking about, if he wanted to make her fight with Wazu-sama who has stopped being human, there is only one person that comes to my mind. Probably, she is “The Northern Hero Haosui”. Because the hot spring town in the north is where Haosui-sama lives] (Freud)

[Oi, who is the person you have called stopped from being human?] (Wazu)

How rude!! I am still a human being.... for now!! Would you like me to show you my guild card? I don't show it because there are so many problematic people in the skill column.

[And then, Northern Hero Haosui was it? Even though she is a hero, is she really a companion of that kind of peddler?] (Wazu)

[How should I put this, Haosui-sama is not interested with good and evil. However, a strong person has the tendency to seek another strong person.... I wonder if it's the case this time] (Freud)

[....sigh] (Wazu)

[Well, we will understand when we meet her in person] (Freud)

Freud bowed elegantly. That's a gesture of a perfect butler but for some reason I feel some ulterior motive every time he does it.

[So, how can I head to that hot spring town from here?] (Wazu)

[Let’s see.... if you proceed at the previous speed, there is a village across the river ahead, let's stay overnight there first. Since there are several choices from there, let’s talk about the details at the inn] (Freud)

[I understand, let’s go then] (Wazu)
