Chapter 172 (2/2)
“”Wha…!””
“Hahaha! Please don’t get so flustered. In fact that makes this old man happy!”
It seems that Runo-san has been serving the Mabondo Family for many years now. And I can feel from their interaction that the girls trust him a lot. He doesn’t seem to be a bad person. The knights around them also are smiling from seeing their actions. One of the knights besides Runo-san told him jokingly “If you tease them too much they’ll come to hate you…” so Runo-san broke into a loud laugh.
“… By the by, you were going to ask me something.”
Runo-san stopped laughing and turned to look at me.
U~m… at first I was trying to ask something but, with his previous actions I can tell what kind of person he is, and he for sure must be a good person from all the people that are following him…
He has been serving the Royal Family for many years so his abilities with the sword must be good… wait a moment… he said that they hadn’t decide their destination, right…?
“Uhm… Do you have something in mind in respect to your destination?”
“No, nothing at all. Just that we can stay forever in here so we are discussing for some close country or city to go to.”
… So they have yet to come to a consensus… if that is so…
“To be honest, I just know the perfect country for you to go to but, would you be willing to go?”
“Ho. What place is that?”
“Let’s see, to put it simply, it’s a country that has just been formed so they have a real lack of helping hands. By the way, they are in an alliance with the Beastpeople Country.”
“Is that so… It has just been formed… then they still lack a proper structure… furthermore they have an alliance with the Beastpeople Country… sounds interesting… I’ve yet to try myself against a beastperson…”
Runo-san seems content as he is grinning. He reacted particularly to the part of the alliance with the Beastpeople Country. Ahh I got it, this person is a battle freak. Probably if he goes there he will not lack partners to fight if he were to express his desire to fight. Did I chose the wrong person? But it is true that they lack helping hands, and they also lack knights and soldiers that can be relied on so…
“Where is that country?”
Amusedly, Runo-san ask me that. His facial expression is like that of a child being excited just before getting his hand on a new toy. Well, who cares. I’m sure that Grave-san will handle it just fine.
And thus I tell Runo-san about Grave-san. He also asked me to write him a letter of introduction and so did the girls so I wrote it.
It’ll be good if I can help Grave-san’s country even if a little…
