We earned enough money and entered the sealed city safely went into a tavern in order to have a meal.
「Now then, Let’s equally divide the money we earned a while ago. Wow! As expected of the sealed city. There are plenty of rich people. We earned 250,000 Val with just the wrapped offerings desu yo♪」
Kuna was cheerfully dividing the rolled bills and coins into two.
One is 25,000 Val. And the other one is 125,000 Val.
「This is Souji-kun’s part desu.」
And 125,000 Val was handed to me.
Perhaps, the 100,000 Val that was used in the entrance fee was deducted from Kuna share.
「I refuse. I only helped a little bit, and in the first place all of these where earned by Kuna.」
「That doesn’t matter. This is the money that two people earned so this should be equally divided desu.」
「Because I was listening to Kuna’s song on a special seat, with that alone was worth all this money. Right now, isn’t Kuna already dead broke? Therefore it’s important to have some spare changes.」
「But….」
「I played the music just to hear Kuna’s song. And in addition, I was able to see the cute “Yo kora fu okutsute” dance till the end. (TN: this was the embarrassing dance Kuna did at Eps.4) That was priceless.」
「Is that true desu ne?」
「Un, Kuna’s song and dance was well worth it.」
「Souji-kun is a really nice guy. Elucie…… I thought that all the people from outside the country where I was from were scary people, I’m glad that it was not so desu. Arigatou Souji-kun.」
Kuna took my hand and conveyed her feeling of appreciation.
She then suddenly separated her hand and distance herself more than necessary, did she became embarrassed that quickly?
「Apart from that, *hmph**hmph**hmph* ,It’s been a while since I had a feast desu♪」
Her hand touches the dish that was piled like a mountain while humming.
That quantity was like it used up all the money at hand just for today’s food.
「Kuna that’s too luxurious.」
「It is all right desu. Because this is a rare luxury. It’s been a month since I ran away from home, I’ve been eating only this kara ne.」
Kuna brought out a seemingly hard dried meat from her bag.
「I think that’s impossible, You’ve spend only the preserved food that you took from the house when you ran away from home?」
「No way that it was simple as that desu, I entered a mountain alone and hunted my own game, drained the blood out, I dried it by using fire magic and finished the process masu yo. After that, I ate it masu ne.」
And it was being preserved with addition to the mountain greens.
They are various mountain greens that can be eaten with no problem. It is raw and dried ten mixed in various ways.
「Even though Kuna is an Ojou-sama, your street smarts is terribly good」
「The Savaii Val system was though to us by Otou-sama. That person was so unreasonable desu yo! At the age of 9, I was carried to a snowy mountain while I was sleeping, When I woke up 『I’ll come to pick you up later. If what I taught you has been hammered to your body, then you should be able to survive』 he said!!! I was thrown out just like that desu yo! I was prepared to die a hundred times at that moment.」1
「…..No mercy at all. Kuna’s Otou-san」
She lean forward and shouts whenever Kuna gets angry at very thing at that time. But the voice somewhat looked happy.
「Besides I have a much more terrible things to discuss desu yo. I was served poisoned meals everyday just to raise my resistance, cruelly trained on hand-to-hand combat, and my magic training was a total torture desu yo!」2
She was only complaining, but strangely the feeling that her Otou-san’s loves comes from Kuna and becomes heartwarming.
I heard stories of her Otou-san from Kuna while sometimes giving responses.
「*pant*, *pant*, *pant*, isn’t that person terrible desu! Are? Souji-kun? A moment ago you called me an Ojou-sama. Did I said that I was in fact one?」3
「Yeah, before we came in the tavern.」4
Oh shit! I haven’t even heard the story from the current Kuna.
「Is that so? Then it’s ok desu. Even if I didn’t say it, my overflowing elegance will give it away.」
「Which ever is true, I think Kuna’s aura has a friendly atmosphere.」
「Is that so? Then whichever is fine then desu.」
While saying so, the Ojou-sama who has elegance was hiding the skewered fish that was not taken apart by knife or fork but was bitten on both sides.
「Now that you mention it, you are hiding your ears, aren’t ya.」
When Kuna parted from the merchant and before performing the song, she was wearing a hat to hide the ear and her tail tucked in her skirt.
「Because Firefox is profitable kara ne. I won’t survive for long if I don’t hide it when it is not necessary to be show. Even in death we are still profitable masu shi. Especially because there are talk in this city that there are extremely strong monsters that I can’t win against, so I must be always careful」
「Certainly, this is the City where the very best gathers.」
Sealed City Erin.
The construction here is abnormal. The castle wall is too solid. And it absolutely cannot be opened from the inside
It is to shut in some demon inside this city, that’s why.</p>
<p>Originally the purpose of this city is to gather the demon that gush forth in this world and seal them in.
It was made because of the underground labyrinth beneath the city, so when demons leaked out by chance out of the labyrinth, it will prevent them from going to the outside world.
「I came here for the underground labyrinth. So what is Kuna’s purpose here?」
「It’s the same for me desu yo. My aim is the underground labyrinth too desu. It’s only at this place that you could make money peacefully with armed might desu. I’m different from all my Anii-sama and Anee-sama. Aside from fighting I don’t have merits other than singing」
Kuna muttered absent-mindedly while she clenched her fist.
「Does Kuna’s siblings spoiled you?」
「Yes, I am often mistaken for being the Nee-san but in fact that I’m the youngest child desu, even to us five siblings as well. Everyone else looks is almost similar when they where born, because only one child is born per decade, so I was terribly spoiled by my Anii’s and Anee’s desu.」
「You loved all your Anii and Anee.」
「Yes, I love my Anii-sama and my three Anee-sama desu. But, I hate Tou-sama」
「If I was disciplined the same way then I will also dislike it.」
「That’s ok desu. In my situation it was understandable that it was necessary, it is a path that all my siblings went through desu. But, I can’t forgive them that a fiancé was selfishly selected without my permission desu. That person was from another country. And if they pushed through the marriage, I said that I’m going to leave Elucie desu yo!」
「As for Kuna’s Otou-san, he might be doing it for Kuna’s happiness I think?」
……Yes, Kuna’s Otou-san understand the crisis that was approaching Kuna. However, it became a strange thing because Kuna ran away from home. Only some questions of the tragedy which the former Kuna went through was cleared.
「It may be so desu. But I hated it desu. It seems to me that I was just a tool. That’s why I left when I want to really get out. I ran away from home and didn’t became Tou-sama’s tool. But, even that isn’t enough, So that Otou-sama begs me to come back, I decided I would become a great person desu.」
「That’s why you’re here. This is the only place in the world where you can have an opportunity to fight many demons.」
「Yes. I’m here to to defeat demons and to acquire magic stones in order to get stronger desu!」
「Generally speaking, it’s the same for me. But do you know the reason why only in this city does demons spawn in the first place?」
「Of course I know masu. It’s thanks to the “Elna integrated device” that is placed in the underground labyrinth desu yo ne.」
「Right, it’s made by Grand Magnus Cyril that became the invention of the century.」5
The reason why of all places in the world only in this city does monsters exist.
There is an underground labyrinth located in the center of this city.
In the first place monster are being spawn in reaction to the magic of the Negative Energy……known as Elna. It was given directivity by the human emotion “fear” and materialized it.</p>
<p>If there is an Elna then there sure to be demons. The fact is demons spawns everywhere until 30 years ago. One day it was possible for demons to suddenly spawn inside houses.
But 30 years ago the Elf, Grand Magnus Cyril made a certain invention. It’s a Magic Tool that can gather Elna in one place. By collecting the Elna that flooded all over the world, demons stopped spawning in other places other than the vicinity of the device.</p>
<p>……..But, there is also cases from which it couldn’t finish gathering all the Elma that transformed a demon in some place.
There are eight location where the device are installed. The device in this city is the largest and the remaining seven are substitutes.
「Not really, Cyril isn’t that great of a person desu」
「He is a great person. The underground labyrinth is a thing which that person made.」6
The surroundings around the the device that was continuing to collect Elna was already spawning up with a scary force of demons. And a powerful demon to boot.</p>
