Chapter 156
(156) Sign of resurrection
Translator: Tseirp
“I see … are there transfer circles or any transportaion of that sort here?”
“Yes, Demon Lord Famiris‧Raritei used Transfer Magic to reach this island while Daijiro-sama used a magic tool called an airship to come here . ”
I asked 417 if there was any way to escape from this island but neither ship nor transfer circle was present on this island .
Daijiro-san actually created an airship in this world … he’s seriously impressive . Isn’t that a vehicle that can only be obtained at the final stages in role-playing games?
“Oh right, 417 is a mouthful so …”
“Only master can set a name . Would you wish to set one?”
“Ehh … ah, since I don’t have any naming sense . 417 … Yoina … no, Shiina then . ” (TL: He’s just joining the numbers 417 in Japanese, 4 = Yon or ‘Shi’, 1 = ‘I’chi, 7 = ‘Na’na)
I just read the numbers as they were but,
“It’s basic but it is easy to call so Shiina, yup, it would be Sheena if I match this world’s language . Is it alright?”
“Yes, that’s wonderful, Ichino-sama . I think it is a wonderful name . ”
“Understood . My name shall be set as Sheena No . 3 . ”
“Why number 3!?”
“Famiris‧Raritei-sama and Daijiro-sama also set Sheena No . 3’s name as Sheena so I appended the number 3 to distinguish between them . ”
“Serious … they all named you Sheena? But, just now you said you don’t have a name . ”
“That is because the two of them called me Sheena but they did not set my name as it . ”
I see, so they just called her that without going through the trouble of setting her name .
Uwa, it’s slightly embarrassing .
But it is kind of strange to hear the name Sheena No . 3, as if she is a different person compared to number 1 and 2 .
“Erm, Ichino-sama . I have a question, why did everyone call her Sheena?”
“Eh? That’s naturally because 417 is read as Sheena … wait?”
That’s wrong, 417 is only read by Japanese as Sheena .
Americans would definitely not read 417 as Sheena . Only the Japanese language reads 4 as ‘Shi’ … I think .
What does this mean?
I understand the reason why Daijiro, a Japanese person, called her Sheena but why did the Demon Lord, a resident of this world, call her that?
“It is unlikely … to be just a coincidence . Hey Sheena . Could you tell me what you know about the Demon Lord?”
“I apologize . Even if you are my master, I cannot reveal information on the previous master . ”
” … I see, no, my bad . Since the Demon Lord should be something like a parental figure to you . You won’t be able to betray him/her . ”
“No, it is because I have been ordered so . Originally, I would, by all means, want to expose every single detail about that selfish arrogant Demon Lord and even include some half-truths . He/she abandoned Sheena No . 3 for over a hundred years after he/she made me . ”
” … Eh?”
I doubted my ears when I heard those bitter words coming from the expressionless Sheena No . 3 .
I thought for sure she was a robot-like being .
“We would be troubled as to how to judge the information if you included half-truths in them . ”
Said Carol .
No, I don’t think that is the issue here though .
Those words showed a completely opposite image of the Demon Lord I heard from Haru, a completely different feel .
Well, I guess personality can change over the span of more than 80 years?
Now that I think about it, just how old was the Demon Lord?
After that, I asked her about the location of the island this facility was built on .
We were on a solitary island to the south of the Western Continent we were previously on, or to the west of the Southern Continent and the nearest continent was 300 kilometers away .
300 kilometers … it is a somewhat feasible distance by boat .
After hearing our detailed position, it seemed like Carol was thinking of an escape plan .
Haa, so I still don’t know the reason why I was transferred here .
During that time, monsters appeared on the monitor — and the monkeys that were at the hot spring just now came by and defeated the monsters .
It seemed like the facility wasn’t only made up of traps as it also utilized the monkeys to exterminate the monsters .
“It’s strange . It’s unthinkable that monsters would appear at such a pace for an island like this . ”
“The magical beast that devastated the coastal waters of the seas around this island has been sealed . Because of that, it became easier for miasma to accumulate and monsters to appear . If Sheena No . 3 wasn’t here, there is a high possibility that this island would become a monster’s nest . ” (TL: It’s unclear if it is a single beast/monster that has been sealed or a bunch of them)
She had an expressionless face as usual but somehow I felt that she definitely had a smug look on her .
“Although that seal would be released within another 48 hours . ”
” …… Eh?”
“Even after Demon Lord Famiris‧Raritei-sama was defeated, the seals she constructed at the four corners of the world that serves as a foundation for the barrier had remained strong but a part of that barrier has been unsealed so the monster of this island is reviving . That’s why I believe that if you wish to leave this island, it is better to do so soon . If not — ”
She said .
If not, we would definitely be annihilated by the revived monster of this island …
