Chapter 66
Chapter 66 Departure
――― Trage Port
The day after the dragon was subjugated, permission for sailing to the west continent was granted to Touya . The preparation for the departure itself had already been completed a few days ago, and they went to the port of Trage where the ship was anchored . Kelvin and his partners were seeing them off .
“Heroes! Ready to sail!”
A Trage sailor shouted in a lively voice . By contrast, Touya replied with a wry smile .
“Please stop the ‘hero’ . We’re just adventurers, aren’t we?”
“Oh, sorry! What I did …”
“You should be careful from now on . I’ll get on the boat soon, so wait for me . ”
The sailor returned to the ship and the 4 heroes looked back .
“Kelvin san, and everyone . It was a short time but thank you . ”
“I was caught up in it . There is no need to be thanked . Even more, the permit to sail has just granted . Are you going now?”
“If it was true, I had left a few days ago . And I won’t be inconvenienced you all . ”
“That’s why it’s so annoying…”
Gerard, who was behind me, put a hand on my shoulder to stop the words .
“I’m ready for it . Shut up and see him off . ”
“Well, the old man ways did not change after all … It’s a farewell gift, take it . ”
I took something from Clotho’s storage and threw it to each of the four .
“Wow … Kelvin san, what is this?”
“A Pendant, I think . ”
“Oh, I made it in a whim . Well, think of it as a substitute for protection . ”
I handed out a pendant that imitated each attribute . It was equipment with a minimal status increase effect and another secret effect . I thought that it was useful in case of an emergency though there was nothing better than not being used . The blacksmithing skill did not correspond to accessories, so I borrowed the skill from a craftsman of Trage with the devouring gauntlet .
“… Tsundere?”
“Miyabi, you have a lot to say until the end . ”
It was dominated by the mind . Well, that was what she had .
“Wow… Mine is in the shape of an ice crystal . Thank you, Kelvin! I’ll take care of it . ”
“Oh, Nana, try your best together with Moon . The dragon may soon evolve from a young dragon to an adult Dragon . You might not be able to get into your rucksack . ”
“Gau!”
“Now, moon chan! You can’t say that . ”
I’m not sure what it said, but Moon loved Nana’s backpack . It looked like a dog that looked out from the car window . Too spoiled was not good …
“I feel like I didn’t have much trouble in Trage . This might be Kelvin san’s favor, too . Thank you for beating the guts of this justice fool . ”
“I think, Setsuna, it will be tougher in the future, but you have a strong mind . Even then, you ’re the Heroes’ leader . ”
“Hah … I’ll do my best …”
“It is something terrible to say!”
However, Touya is growing up both physically and mentally . I think the momentum of the moment has been eased somewhat . Somewhat .
“I don’t know what will happen on the continent, but I will do my best!”
“Touya, you must not make a mistake in the direction of your efforts . ”
“Don’t trust . ”
Touya and the others had been told not to speak out about the effects of their own unique skills . Even if it was us . Even if you can see the status in the appraisal eye, unique skills that did not know the effect would be an advantage only if others didn’t know . It was not possible to know the details of the “absolute gospel” and the “slashing iron” of Setsuna, but it is trivial compared to life .
“So, Kelvin san, we’re on our way . ”
“Oops, it’s already time? Efil”
“Yes . This is just a simple one, but it’s a bento . Eat on the ship . ”
It was a lunch box for four people that Efil made in a hurry when she heard that they would leave soon . Some of them were finished in a modern style, such as onigiri and sandwiches that we ate yesterday .
“Efil! Thank you so much! Really!”
“Fantastic!”
“I can eat Efil-san ’s home cooking again!”
“I will eat it carefully with Moon chan!”
Four people bowed while grasping their hands . Hey, you guys . You’re much more honest than I was . Especially Miyabi . I was sure Efil’s dish was bad for other people! I had a clutch in my stomach!
“We will set sail soon! Please hurry if you want to get on board! ”
The sailors shouted and inform them that they were ready to sail .
“I’ll miss you . ”
“Oh, we have to hurry! Everybody let’s run!
“Wow, wait!”
Touya and the others ran to the deck of the ship and again appeared from the handrail .
“Kelvin, I will never forget what you taught me!”
“Let’s meet again!”
“I will become strong until I can win next time! Thank you very much!”
“Same as above! I won’t lose next time!”
Eventually, the four kept waving to us until the ship disappeared . I feel a little guilty even though I just did it in a whim .
“Master is really kind . ”
“Yeah, they had a nice and sunny face . ”
“What a ridiculous thing you’re talking about . I just got involved in a whim . It’s about noon, let’s go eat . ”
“You’re embarrassed . ”
“I’m not embarrassed!”
… Anyway, was it the west continent? The Rizea Empire was there .
Sense talk was sent to Gerald .
[Gerard, can we win if we fight against the Rizea Empire now?]
[What is it?” From bushes to sticks . ]
[It’s the contract with you . Didn’t I promise to kill Jilldora?]
[Ga-ha-ha! I thought you won’t remember it or forgot it!]
[Will you forget such an important thing?]
Yes, the contract with Gérard was to defeat Jilldora and avenge his country, Alkar . I haven’t fulfilled that wish yet .
[Now, the situation is different from the time when I was alive . I don’t know if Jilldora is still in the empire . And the empire was the best power on the west . It can be said that the power is declining in the area where Delamis is still engaged . No matter how strong Ic is, it’s dangerous to face the empire . ] (TN . Gerald uses an archaism of ‘I’ . I’ve been translating it as myself but researching in the web I found the Ic is the archaic English word for ‘I’ . So, I’ll start translating it like this . )
“That’s right … First, we start collecting information . ”
[Ic am not in a hurry . …… Ic thought it was impossible when Ic signed a contract . ]
[Hey, did you sign up with me like that?]
“Well, listen . I thought there was more hope than staying in the castle . At first such thin desire . As Ic began to travel with my Liege, Efil became a friend and Sara became a friend . Now we have even defeated S-class monsters . ”
Gerard looked up to the heavens .
“Thank you, king . The impossible hope of Ic was reduced to a level that is now feasible . When the contract is fulfilled, Ic will recognize the king as the true Lord . ”
“Oh, until then, a temporary master is enough…”
Gufu … Sara was leaning on his back .
“Hey, what are you talking about?”
Efil grabbed the sleeves of the robe and looked up at his face .
“I don’t want to lose friends…”
“All right! I’ll tell you both of you, so get Sara down! Efil, don’t be sad!”
“Ga-ha-ha! My Liege let’s eat first .
Zun-Zun I followed the Gérard, who lead with Sara on his back, holding Efil’s hands, and feeling the weight of his friends . (TN: sfx of quick steps . )
