Legend Chapter 314
「Hey, it’s fine right? Take us to Emoshion as well . Even if we look like this, we’re still B rank adventurers you know? We’ll definitely be able to help . 」
Egret slapped on Rei’s shoulder as they walked through the city .
Of course, Rei was wearing his Dragon Robe, so he wasn’t hurt . Still, he felt some of the impact . Rei replied with a slight frown .
「You’re basically travelling around without taking on any requests right? Then you don’t need to follow me . Since you’ve cleared my doubts about the bounty on your heads, why don’t you just go somewhere else?」
「That’s why you should bring us along to Emoshion . You’d have more strength on your side that way, right? right? right?」
「Not necessarily . Or, do you have some way to fight a monster in the sea? Can you fly or walk on water?」
「Ahh? There’s no way we can do that . But, if you’re dealing with a monster in the sea, you can always rent a ship . 」
「Hey, Egret, I don’t want to fight against such a monster . 」
Realising that her party member just wanted to fight a monster, Miroir kicked Egret in the back .
However, that was probably something that just happened every day . Egret was completely unconcerned about it as he kept pestering Rei .
「Hey, listen okay? It’s not like this was a request that needs to be accepted . This is all just a coincidence . That’s all . 」
It had already been close to an hour since Rei had treated them to a meal as an apology for suspecting that they had a bounty on them . Since then, he had been endlessly bothered by Egret . Eventually unable to stand it any longer, Rei spoke up with a sigh .
「Fine, I won’t stop you . 」
「Really-!?」
Egret had a grin on her face while Miroir looked annoyed .
Miroir had confidence in her own skills . However, if you told her that she had to catch a monster in the sea that had sunk several ships, even she would start to question it .
As Rei had said, in the sea, their means of attack narrowed significantly .
「Yes . I won’t stop you . So you can go to Emoshion however you like . I’ll be going there by myself . 」
Although he agreed to let them follow if they wanted, Rei was obstinate about parting ways with them .
「Eh? Hey, wait a moment . There’s no need to split up . Why don’t you go with us?」
「I refuse . 」
「But, why……」
Even though Egret wanted to push further, Rei continued to speak as he looked towards the city’s main gate .
At the end of his line of sight were the guards that had handled the procedures to enter the city for them when they had first arrived .
「In the first place, I’m getting there by flying on Set . How are you supposed to follow me? You’re not suggesting that I walk with you, are you?」
「T-That is……」
Hitting right on the mark, Egret was at a loss for words . However, after looking troubled for a few seconds, his face brightened up as if he had thought of a good idea .
「Then, if Miroir and I both fly on Set, it will be fine right!?」
「You idiot! Don’t drag me into this, how many times do I have to tell you!」
At last, reaching the limit of her patience, Miroir slammed a powerful kick into Egret’s back .
He probably wasn’t hurt as he was wearing plate mail, but he couldn’t stop the impace as he stumbled forward several steps .
But even then, Egret didn’t seem to care as he looked at Rei with a hopeful expression .
「I refuse . 」
「Why not!」
He really hadn’t thought that his suggestion would be rejected . His face turned red, possibly out of anger, resentment or indignation?
However, Rei just replied to Egret with a sigh .
「To begin with, Set already has to do his best to carry me when he’s flying . Let alone lighter, each of you are probably heavier than me . 」
After being told she was heavier than Rei, Miroir looked away in disagreement .
Even though she was an adventurer, she still wasn’t happy to be told that she was heavy as a woman . That said, she was being compared to a kid in robes .
On the other hand, contrary to Miroir, Egret was surprisingly convinced . After all, he was wearing plate mail and carrying a poleaxe . Above all, he was more than twice Rei’s build……it was clear that he probably weighed three times as much as Rei .
「……That’s true . 」
By the time Egret nodded, they had arrived at the main gate . The guards received their guild cards and quickly completed the process for them to leave the city .
Whether it was because they were guards or because they honestly wanted someone followed by a Griffon to quickly leave the city, the process was completed quite quickly .
While guessing their thoughts, Rei didn’t care too much as he placed his guild card under his robes before storing it into the Misty Ring .
「As long as you get there on your own, but I won’t stop you from going to Emoshion any more . But as I said just now, I won’t be working together with you . In the first place, why do you want to go to Emoshion? You don’t need money, do you?」
Rei had already heard from them that when they had set out from their home city, they had brought with them the rewards they had earned as B rank adventurers . In that case, why would they go out of their way to go hunt a monster that had sunk several ships at sea? Rei asked that question, but Egret’s reply was very simple .
「That’s because there’s a strong enemy there . 」
Like a mountaineer saying that he climbed mountains because they existed, Egret went straight to the point . Hearing that, Rei could only sigh .
He decided that there was no point in saying anything more . Standing next to Egret, who looked very proud at what he had just said, Miroir held her hand against her forehead as if she had a headache .
Looking at the two of them, Rei quickly decided that he would only suffer further if he continued to stay with them .
「Fine then . We’re going there separately after all . If you arrive in Emoshion before I kill the monster, then you can help out . 」
From here to Emoshion would take less than two days flying on Set . However, if you were to walk there, it would take close to half a month . Rei had told them that while considering the time it would take for them to get there . Miroir, who didn’t want to fight a huge sea monster, smiled at his words . However, Egret also smiled for some strange reason .
(……Well, I guess that’s fine . )
Rei didn’t know what Egret was thinking, but he thought it was best not to get involved with them any further . Rei started to move off the road, without asking the reason for his smile .
