Interlude 3 Part3 (1/2)
The Stronghold
”The ician He's blessed with a Great Spirit at that”
The raven declared
”A Great Spirit?
「いかにも。”妖精”や”鬼火”なんぞの子供騙しではない、強大な元素の精霊よ。この場合は、十中八九、風じゃろうが」
”Indeed It's a powerful ele of some fairy or demon In this case, it's probably a spirit of the wind”
The bird seerossed by prospects that no doubt sprang forth in its devious head
”Give me a break, dad Because of your carelessness, the room's become a mess… ”
Danah cradled his forehead in his hands and let out a sigh To say the rooone, replaced by a hole fralass shards Tables and chairs were overturned, and documents plastered every surface The room seemed to have been hit by a tornado, which, upon reflection, was not that far from the truth
”Kufufu… kakaka! I' man has piqued my interest”
The raven deftly leaped onto the desk in one leap with the assistance of its wings The usual, ever-present twinkle in its eyes seeleaht of intelligence
「欲しい。あの精霊の力、是が非でも欲しい。どうにかして、我が物としたい。それに……。 Tiuj kiuj insidas en la sablo… alie gi estus unu el la vizitantoj…」
”I want it I want the power of that spirit I want to make it my own… 『Those who lurk in the sand… otherwise it would be one of the visitors… 』” (ED Note: I fed the Esperanto word by word into a dictionary, and I couldn't uys knohat this means, please leave it in a coathered up the scattered docu some of them in the process
”… Well, anyways For the ti for Satyna?”
”That'd be wise You wouldn't see so around in the middle of nowhere for no reason I'd bet he's a hired ainst your bandits, or… Either way, it's not a ht aloud, Danah gave up on the documents and called for the maids
Immediately, the door opened and twoshade of black entered Although they normally had expressionless, doll-like faces, the state of their roomed fractured their calm facade
”Danah-sama, this is… ”
”Uirl co to you”
”I-I understand… ”
To the chagrin of thethem with a clearly unsatisfactory explanation With the raven perched on his ar the roo to the attic”
”Yes, sir”
With that, Danah left the roo their heads in his wake
”… The attic would be ht father?”
”Caw!”
The attic featured an intricate door decorated with various runes, not so much for aesthetics, but rather, for functionality It acted as any door would, but it was also enchanted with h It was a foolproof counter, and was convenient for secret talks, as one the door was closed, nobody would knohat's going on inside
Danah cli towards the top of the tower
The sound of boots hitting stone echoed in the stairwell Pavel rong when he thought that the previous office beloas the top floor of the tower; the attic where Danah was heading to noas the true apex It was a completely confidential place such that Danah had even instructed theatop the stairs, Danah unlocked the small wooden door that lead to the attic The size of the room was completely out of sync in relation to Danah's stature The space was sparsely furnished, with only a bed, a small bookshelf, a perch for the bird, and a side table, but nonetheless left space oes pretty downhill starting now, so again, no guarantees for accuracy, especially here)
”No shall we proceed, father?”
To Danah's question, the bird on its perch in the corner titled its head
”… Youthe nat as a whole I think it's about time we stop this bandit roleplay stuff”
Danah sat down on the couch, foldings his arht into the raven's red eyes
「時間は充分にかけた。種も充分に蒔いた。奴隷商の仕事も、せこいクスリの商売も、諜報の真似ごとも、もううんざりだ。
”We've invested a lot of time and effort into this The seeds have been sown I' drugs, and gathering intelligence our enethened itself Because of that, staying there just wasn't worth it, so we decided to withdraw from the city I feel like their hostile attitude is an o will happen soon”
”… We can only wait, huh?”
”Yeah”
Danah leaned forward aggressively At this, the raven confessed in exasperation,
”To be honest, I've also had enough playing the role of the carrier pigeon, you see”
”That is, even if we stop playing house like e're already doing, reality isn't so nice that it'll just let you off scot-free In fact, you'll probably be even busier than now”
Danah flashed an evil grin The raven continued,
”Well, there's also the ly”
”Indeed… then let's get started, shall we?”
”Naturally Then, Danah, I shall be gone for a while I believe I know of a person that shall be of a great deal of assistance to us”
”Got it”
