Atelier Tanaka Volume 1 &2 Chapter 29 Part 2

[Sophichans point of view]

Im on a dragon. Im on a dragon.

Thats why Im clinging to the back of the noble mage.

This is bad.

Oi, waitress, you can let go of me already. Youre annoying.

O-Okaaaaaayyy!

I didnt even notice that the wind had stopped whipping me in the face. The dragon had descended at some point and we were finally back on the ground. The place the dragon landed was a wide open grassland. There was a dreary camp setup not too far from us.

If what weve been told is true, this is the area where the battle between the Penny Empire and the Pussy Republic took place.

The person youre looking for should be here.

Really.

The dragon was lying on the ground as she waited for us to get off. Once we were off, she stood up and patted the dirt off her dress. She actually looks rather cute but inside shes still a dragon. I cant be so easily deceived by her appearance.

After she finished cleaning the dust off, she turned her attention to the nearby camp. Thats our destination. A camp with several shabby looking tents set up. I dont want to enter any of those tents if I can avoid it.

Lets go.

Fahren-sama started walking towards the camp with the dragon following close behind him.

Naturally, I had no choice but to follow after them.

I dont want to be left alone in a place like this.

Theres someone over there!

Fahren-sama called this out after he saw someone exit one of the tents.

This person looks very scary. His body is huge, he has a shaved head and an intimidating tattoo around his eye. Is he a slave soldier? Oh, but he does look kind of cool.

Eh? What are you people doing there?

Were looking for a man named Tanaka. Do you know of him?

Tanaka? Oi, ossan, how do you know him?

So you have heard of him?

Fahren-sama spoke in a casual tone to the man with the intimidating face. He gave off his usual imposing nobleman aura, but the bald man didnt seem to even care. I, on the other hand, couldnt stop shaking.

Yeah, that guy saved a lot of people here.

After hearing Fahren-sama mention Tanaksans name, the bald man seemed to relax a little.

Even if his scary face has softened, its still scary.

So he left? Tell me where he went.

I dont know. Hes probably running around on another battlefield somewhere.

The records in the castle say he was dispatched here.

Before he got here, we had been fighting for three days and three nights. Just when I was thinking wed lose, that guy arrived and we were victorious in less than half a day. Theres no doubt that hes truly a genius. Ive heard people called that before, but that guy is the real deal.

Yeah, thats true.

Oh? You actually know him, ossan?

Of course. Ive been able to come to understand him a little bit.

are you that guys enemy?

The bald mans face tensed up for a moment and returned to its original intimidating appearance.

At the same time, several people emerged from the tent and ran out to encircle us.

Whats happening? There are dozens of adventurers surrounding us. Theyre holding swords, staves, spears, and all manner of weapons at us. They all looked serious.

This is terrible. Im so scared. I can feel something leaking out between my legs. Its dripping down my leg and my thighs are now moist. I cant help it. Ive been holding it in since we were at the castle and we never stopped for any bathroom breaks.

Tanaksan was fighting with such intimidating people. I have so much respect for him being able to do that. I cant even stand to be near these people. I want to leave. I want to go home.

I dont know who you people are or why youre looking for Tanaka, but if youre planning on harming him, youll have to deal with the Twilight Company first.

This man is somehow able to make his face even scarier.

Having said that, I dont think thats a smart move on his end. I dont think these adventurers stand a chance against Fahren-sama. Although hes slightly inferior in ability to Tanaksan, hes still able to overwhelm a dragon with a single attack.

But my chest is starting to hurt.

I can feel my stomach begin to tighten.

My breathing is becoming ragged.

I dont like being around fighting.

If youre asking whether were friends or enemies, Id have to say were friends.

Really?

If I were his enemy, do you think Id come to a place like this with these ladies?

.

After hearing Fahren-samas question, the bald man fell silent.

He turned to look at the dragon and then me. Its embarrassing. Im sure he can tell what happened between my legs.

Oh no, whatevers left in my bladder is starting to leak out.

Did he not notice? Hes turned back to face Fahren-sama.

well, that does make sense.

The man with the scary face relaxed a little and showed a bitter smile.

he mustve noticed. His face is even starting to look embarrassed.

My maid skirt has even become soaked. Theres no way he didnt notice.

Ill tell you whatever I can. He was travelling with a Dark Elf; those two really make a strange pairing. They were both apart of the Adventurers Guild, so Im sure you can find more information about them at the Guild in Tricklis.

I see.

If so, you should probably return to the city. A battlefield is no place for a nobleman and we dont want to worry about taking care of you if you get injured.

Yeah, well be returning to the city.

Bye then, nobleman.

Thank you for the information.

I guess everything has been settled without any fighting.

Thank God.

Im glad we were able to settle things without spilling any blood.

I feel like Ive been seeing too much blood recently.

Whats going on? Is that man not here?

Soon afterwards, the Dragon questioned Fahren-sama. This wont end well. When we were on Mount Ppe, she was a rampaging dragon. Even though shes still in her human form, Im getting an eerie feeling from her.

It seems that he already left this area.

That woman is useless.
