Chapter 11 (1/2)
Chapter 11 – Collapse*
Thinking back upon it, co but a series of huge troubles, but going from inside the ruins to the outside took al
“…But still, in the end, was this ruin an ancient demon ruin?”
Muttered Gran, the first one to crawl out of the ruins, to Luru and Iris ere still in the darkness of the ruins
By the tiht had already fallen, so it was dim
However, perhaps because the hter than the inside of the ruins, and the outside was filled with the indigo coloured darkness
“I wonder about that Wouldn’t it be fine to get Yuueable, isn’t she?”
Luru who kneas definitely an ancient demon ruin, or at least one with some kind of relation to them, just played dumb
According to Gran, in this age there was no way to deter was an ancient deet involved in any unnecessary trouble
There was also that he wanted Yuuate appropriately, fulfil her desires for her roe on it
At the end of the day, no matter how many books he read, Luru had passed no more than seven years of his life, and his only information sources were basically only the books at hoe, and the norant of the world
There was no way he could know in detail about as in this world
At best, he knew the na countries, and broadly about what kind of regions they were, and what they produced; there was no way for him to find out more than this
Until he asked Gran about the state of the tools in the city, he didn’t even know that prius Tools existed
Though it was true that froe he had expected that over these thousands of years, the technology had degenerated, there was quite a gap bethat he i about the reality himself
Perhaps there existed in this world, even ht of; because of that, he ht have no choice but to act
No, he had to At least that hat Luru thought after this time’s adventure in the ruins
That’s why he was thinking that once he got back to the village, he wanted to speak with Yuumis who see about the details of the events leading up to now, it didn’t seem that it would be too easy
If you thought about her interactions with Gran as an adventurer pair, you could tell that she didn’t sees out]
However, they would still have tojust a little reluctant[/pressured] at having to do that
Whilst thinking about that, Luru crawled out of the ruins
After the last azed at the ruin
It was already night so they couldn’t see it too clearly
However, the sight of the ruins illuht was fantastical, and beautiful
This here Iris had been sleeping
Because of that, Luru was able to ain in this world
Right now, she was the only brethren he had in this world
Rusty was close to hie; there was no mistake about this
However, Luru held many secrets that he couldn’t talk to them about
There was nobody he could share these with, or in the true sense of the words, tell everything to
That’s why the fact that Iris was by his side was to Luru, fortune that seemed like a miracle
Iris was gazing at the ruins as well
He couldn’t tell what emotions lay in those eyes of hers
However, after she reaze froan to smile
And at this difficult to describe expression that eased his heart, Luru felt that so that had been frozen in his heart had thawed for the first time since he was born
“Well, there’s no use in watching this forever… Let’s make a detailed exploration once we have Yuuht even be dispatched froet busy, huh…!”
Said Gran with a smile
It hat an adventurer was supposed to be doing; opening up new frontiers
Whether they were frontiers in regards to the land, or in regards to treasure, or in regards to the sphere of research, it was undeniably the job of the adventurers
And it was through these achieveain that their name became famous
With this time’s discovery, Gran and Yuumis would probably become quite famous
They ht have already possessed fa like this wouldn’t hurt no matter how much of it you had
“I’m so envious, Gran”
That’s why Luru ended up saying that on a whim,
He wasn’t jealous or anything, and it was just a joke with some irony mixed in
They ords he spoke hoping to get a rise out of Gran, but as expected you could perhaps say, Gran wasn’t the type of be bothered by this
While giving a
“Hahahah! Watcha saying? You’re gunna become busy too, yanno?”
“…Hah?”
Luru tilted his head at Gran’s words
As for Iris, she was chuckling quietly, and it see behind Gran’s words
“I was sleeping for a very long time, so I don’t fully understand the circumstances but… Luru-sama, you too explored the ruin with Gran-sae to take you as a person with the i a ruin, would it…?”
At Iris’ words, Luru finally realised, ‘Ahh, that ht be so‘ but even so, Luru was still a child
The ones praised for such discoveries were adventurers, and because of reasons like ‘A village child won’t get dragged into that kind of thing‘, Luru thought, ‘Isn’t that impossible?‘ and refuted Gran
“Don’t be ridiculous… I’m just a seven year old child, you know? Even if you say that I was one of the explorers or whatever, nobody would believe you, you know?”
However, Gran shook his head as though he felt no problems at all
“No, everybody would believe it I think If I go around spreading it, that is”
“…What?”
“My mouth is looser than a potato sack you know?[Sorry Couldn’t think of Eng equivalent expression soI’ about what happened today… Moreover, Yuu her barrier ta, yanno You should already knohat bad drunks we are, right? Just the other day, you saw it yourself after all”
For an instant, Luru thought to seriously ask hi how bold he was, it seeave up
To begin with, thinking about it carefully, he wasn’t planning on hiding for the rest of his life or anything
It was just to the degree of not wanting to start insisting in public that he used to be the deecraft and martial arts that he had acquired
He was fine with these ru spread
It was a topic that wasn’t a problem at all
Having said that though, he felt like passing on both being treated like a braggart, and being looked down on
If it was spread that a seven year old held the achieve a ruins explorer, he would probably end up being called a liar and looked down on
About these problems, Luru asked Gran
He replied,
“Well, it’ll probably be fine not to worry too h we look like this, Yuumis and I are actually quite famous adventurers in the capital If the two of us evaluate you highly, as long as they aren’t a total idiot, they aren’t gunna pick a fight with you Moreover, as long as you’re in the village, you won’t get involved with those sort of guys Well, since there is a ruin, therehere than before, but, it’s just to that degree Don’t worry about it soit In the end it was just a joke, so don’t sweat it If you really wanted me to spread it, and you wanted merits for what you did this time, then I don’t mind since it’s the truth and all but… You don’t want that, right? I’ll stay quiet, so relax”
Like that, Gran guaranteed him, so Luru felt relief that his lifestyle didn’t see all that difficult
In the end, what he said just noas just returning a joke to Luru’s joke, and he probably had no intentions of spreading any rumours
Gran was an adventurer, after all
He couldn’t be that loose-lipped, since his responsibility of confidentiality as an adventurer wasn’t so that he could just toss away
That’s why in that sense, it was also a relief, Luru thought
And like that, feeling like everything they needed to say before returning to the village had been said, the three of thean to head away from the ruins
The next ti would probably be tomorrow, or the day after…
