Chapter 52 - Volume 7 (2/2)
“…You mean her?”
“Yes, little Miss Inberun”
“Ah~”
Tsa sounded dumbfounded
“You’re probably the only one who can call her little”
“Oh, really? You’re even e as that girl, but you ought to be older, right?”
“That is true… still, I can’t believe that girl would be willing to be an adventurer What kind of scheme did you use?”
“Hmph That crybaby went on and on and wouldn’t stop, so I said, ‘If I can beat you, then you’ll have to listen to me’, and then I smacked the crap out of her!”
The old lady went ”kakaka” Her laughter seemed to come from the bottom of her heart
“…I think you’re the only huirl”
Tsa sounded like it had broken out in a cold sweat, and shook its head At the same time, it recalled another one of its old friends — one who had fought the Dereat deeds in the battle against the Ver me out Besides, if you know the undead, you kno to beat the undead If you can’t defeat the power of the Earth, you can still exploit elemental affinities and compatibilities to turn the tables in your favor Crybaby is very strong, but others are stronger than her For instance, you could easily beat that girl If you didn’t li in this world”
The old lady’s gaze shi+fted to the suit of platinuined she would have received a casual answer, but Tsa’s voice was grave
“I don’t know about that The power that pollutes the worldonce ht pauldron, like it had been pierced by a lance
“…Have the hundred-year aftershocks come? They aren’t on the side of this world like Leader was?”
“…It ht have just been an unfortunate encounter, but I feel that Vauessed that it would be about tiht me into contact with someone who could verify the other side”
“Pick whichever side of the coin you like Oh yes, I’ve on Lords for help?”
“The answer is still the same; it’s very difficult After all, they’re all people who didn’t fight in the ith the Eight Greed Kings For instance, I feel the Heavenly Dragon Lord — who only kno to fly around in the sky — or the Deep Darkness Dragon Lord — who hides in thatwho knohat — won’t possibly help us”
“Really now Aren’t there others like the Brightness Dragon Lord, Dragon Lords who had children with huht turn out well, you know?”
“…Perhaps But I personally feel that it would be better to wake up she who sleeps in the bottom-most levels of the city which floats upon the sea for help You’d have better chances for success”
“She’s ‘waiting in the land of dreae, things would not be so troubleso”
“It can’t be helped He… killed a coot to hirit, you were shocked too, right?”
The old lady looked into the distance, and she slowly nodded with a pained expression on her face
“Aye, yes… it’s true… you’re right”
“Rigrit, I apologize for asking this of you even though you’re no longer an adventurer, but can I beg a favor of you?”
“What is it? I’ve got a pretty good idea, but I want to hear it from you”
Tsa’s eyes went to a sword The sword did not look suitable for slashi+ng, but its edge was sharp beyond coic could not possibly reat weapons which the Eight Greed Kings left behind — was the reason why Tsa could not leave this place
“I’ve been doing this until now, and I hope you can lend ic items that can rival that sword over there… that can rival Guild Weapons Or perhaps, special itethened armor which Red Drop — adadom — possesses”
