Chapter 118
After we finished breakfast, the 4 of us went by foot to the ruins for the 2nd job change .
I’ve thought it was strange since before but the air has no signs of stagnation even though it’s within the ruins and, it’s not the case that dust or grime flutters about like in an abandoned building either .
I guess someone is using an air purifier or something, no mistake .
But it seems like this ruin’s walls have natural magic crystals embedded in them as always, there’s no trouble with light either .
U~n, I wonder if it’s this component?
Scholars do of course do research even in this world don’t they, if this was taken out it could at least provide energy after all .
「Alice, why are you staring at the wall? Are the ruin walls that you can find anywhere that unusual?」
「This world might be a mountain of treasures……」
It truly does seem abundant in resources doesn’t it .
Be that as it may, I wonder what the extent of this world’s scale is?
Maybe it’s as much as the Earth?
「Eclair, how is this realm called?」
Haa?
The crimson princess with the mutual love that I have faith in made a fed up face .
「By realm you mean that which is Stella Garde?」
「Stella Garde? Is that this world’s name?」
「Aah, by realm you meant that? I misunderstood . If it’s in that sense, that would be Arcanoa then . 」
Seriously say that sooner okay, and Eclair put her hands on her hips .
Even if that Stella Garde is obvious, should I suppose the title of Arcanoa not all that well known?
The Eclair closing one eye and going it can’t be helped can itー, while not seeming altogether dissatisfied as she says that while she gives me her teachings is cute .
「Speaking of Stella Garde, is that to say the continent?」
「That’s about right, the continent on which Eclair’s group is currently present is Stella Garde . It’s a massive continent with kingdom and principality, commonwealth, theocracy and empire you see . 」
「Heiー」
My interest in this other world’s matters is bubbling up .
The word Arcanoa is the identifying designation of this world then .
The things I studied in the library were matters of my own lifestyle, matters of magic, and matters of magic or the like, my time was split up into that area so I guess I forgot geography .
Maa, the map of the surrounding area was hammered into my head though .
「How many continents are there?」
「It seems scholars say there are 5 continents but, it’s not well known . 」
To say the statement that there are 5 continents would naturally mean that there are oceans to divide them as well .
I feel like welcoming the age of discovery and riding out to find a new continent but, thinking of the difficulties of that era it seems dangerous doesn’t it .
「Are there no interactions with the other continents?」
「Really now, you’re a child who asks questions well aren’t youー」
「There’s no end to a human’s desire for knowledge!」
「Ahー that so . The answer is none at all, is it not? But the reality is that when speaking of what’s behind that, Eclair doesn’t know . 」
Is that so?
I’m deeply interested in the reason how it is that there might not be interactions……
If it’s Kran or Maria-san they might know something .
Refreshing sky colored eyes seriously watched me, as I was lost in thought .
……I unintentionally closed my eyes .
「Tha, that’s wrong you! Idiot!!」
「Oww . 」
Even though I only displayed a little playfulness……my cheeks were pinched .
But the bright red Eclair is cute as always issn’t she .
「Fun……it makes me want to say I’m worried that you’ll eventually also become like your rumored ane-disciple . 」
「……Nn~」
That shouldn’t happen, though that’s my feeling .
I don’t know what type of personality Libra might’ve had to begin with so, I can’t say anything can I .
It’s not that the sort of possibility that her personality was cheerful and openhearted, the sort that could be liked by anyone, but lost her way, doesn’t exist .
I don’t know since Till doesn’t say anything .
「Hypothetically if I lose my way, Eclair, please correct my being . Since, there is a debt, for Eclair . 」
「U……you occasionally bring that out don’t you . 」
While she flinched back, Eclair soon laughed out of her nose .
「Maー that is you know? To do something about you, surely there’s no one but this Eclair! Please leave it to me!」
「But there’s also the possibility that Lumina-chan has more abundant talent……」
「So who is this Lumina!?」
And on that note, while we were engaged in such an exchange within the ruins, there’s the sounds of a sword fight reverberating from ahead .
Just when I thought it’d become quiet for a while, I heard this voice coming .
「By the way Ilya, just how should a vanguard that doesn’t receive a bit of support from their rearguard handle things?」
「Fufu, how may that be? But oneesama, that’s a relatively common event, if it’s our party . 」
「Even if it happens a lot it’s troubling issn’t it . 」
Damn it, Shion-san’s favorability level dropped while I caused Eclair’s event!
I need to load!
「……You, surely you didn’t think of something rude did you?」
「Ha, haha……isn’t there no way I’d think such a thingー」
My crimson princess-sama’s intuition has grown a little sharp of late .
◇■◇■◇
We advanced to the area in the furthest depths of the ruins, with nothing coming up after that .
It’s a route we’ve passed through once before so there wasn’t any problem at all .
And so we’re taking a short break in front of what’s called the boss room .
「Oneechan, why don’t you use that katana?」
I tried asking about the matter that has been holding my interest since a while ago .
That’s right, since entering the ruins Shion-san hasn’t even once drawn the named katana that the future Saira made .
Of course Shion-san is history’s strongest swordsman so she still fights well enough given that though .
「I’m not particularly putting on airs you know . It’s just because this katana, cuts too well……I’m scared since it feels like I’ll become reliant on the weapon . 」
Lifting up the grip on the scabbard with the sword in it with her thumb, Shion-san smiled while showing just a bit of the katana’s blade .
Somehow when she tried cutting some tree branches as a test the resistance was too low so, it seems she tried cutting a log next .
No matter how you think about it cutting a log with a katana it has to be unreasonable right?
I couldn’t not think why did you think to do such a thing, my sister .
It’ll break if done poorly you know, the katana will!
The results of her full power masterwork will!
Even so, it seems……that didn’t come to be,
「It cuts with a splat like tofu you see . 」
「That’s not Shion’s technique?」
Eclair pinched her lips as if she was impressed .
I also feel as such .
「I have no intention of acting humble but, I think that that is the katana’s power . After all……since there was no resistance you see . 」
「……From the log?」
「Aah . 」
「Wha……t did you say . 」
I received an impact .
That is in short……it split?
Even if I were to swing it, wouldn’t the log split?
With a splat .
「Since you’re not swinging so?」
「It won’t be swung okay . 」
「It won’t be swung . 」
「……」
Could you not wait a moment?
What’s with this confident sympathy?
And furthermore I haven’t said anything yet……
As I pout my lips, Shion-san strokes my head with a yosh yosh .
Fuaa……
「Peaceful issn’t it . 」
「It is isn’t it . 」
We’re in plain sight we’re super visible .
It’s, it’s embarrassing you know oneechan!
……But do it more .
◇■◇■◇
When the time was right we went toward the boss room .
「Alright we’re going everyone!」
The mood is excellent .
You should eat my new sure kill technique, Trident・Blizzard・Fire・Thunder・Attack!
This attack completely ignores the opponents defensive capabilities and, disintegrating everything it’s a sure kill among sure kill techniques!
The damage is 9999999!
The opponent dies!
「What might she be mumbling about, this child . 」
「Fufu, Eclair-sama, let’s let her be . 」
While exultant and dignified, mysteriously, when it’s pushed the opening door stays open .
The boss room opens along with an iron scraping noise that assaults the ears .
Everyone invades the pitch black room .
When it was decided that everyone had entered the room, the door shut automatically with another heavy sound .
「Alice . 」
Shion-san placed her hand on my shoulder as I was ready to go forth .
Ah, on that note this is different from that harsh battle with the Yamata no Orochi isn’t it .
I should obediently hide behind Shion-san’s back for now .
And so I focused my attention ahead as if looking over her shoulder .
Last time the overwhelming『leader』called Maria-san was there so there wasn’t any tension or anything but, for the nonce I need to tighten my focus don’t I .
I try inspecting the pitch black boss room’s interior and, a faint green light begins to glow .
And then, the boss’s form emerged from the faint green shining magic crystal light .
――Rare Encounter――
『Alpha Omega LV99』
I couldn’t hide my surprise at the enemy status .
「Rare!?」
From what I could see of the emerging silhouette, it boasts a tough seeming defense, an ominous beast with a shell .
It’s appearance is like a turtles but, it’s a different, more sinister lifeform .
In fact the power and nimbleness sensed from that figure standing on 4 legs is not that of a turtle but like a lion .
The two fangs thrust out from its lower jaw are also around the size of a person, it reminds me of a giant monster .
「It’s because of this that you can’t lose your focus in the occupation of an adventurer isn’t it . 」
Shion-san readied her broadsword and advanced forth .
Following after her Ilya also took her spear and went forth .
Eclair has already entered her chant .
Everyone’s fast aren’t they, in any case this isn’t the time for me to be out of it either .
「Thunder!」
Eclair is probably chanting『heavy』magic .
As such I suppose my role is the starter .
My responsibility is to hinder with low rank magic on top of supporting the vanguard .
Silver lightning passes by the running Shion-san’s side to stab into the shelled beast .
The brusque body covered in a shell became electrified and, that became a slight hindrance .
「Haaaaa!」
Shion-san swung a powerful vertical slash down into that gap .
A high pitch sound of the sort that hurt my ears resounded .
「As expected then! But there’s still more . 」
It somehow seems her broadsword is bearing a lot of responsibility but, Shion-san is still prioritizing her own technique first .
Good good that sort of thing is!
Do it as much as you like oneechan!
