Chapter 167
Chapter 167 - Let's Apologize
「I'm really sorry!」
Kazane was doing a dogeza . Abbreviated DGZ in English . The powerful dogeza learned from Jinrai . And a black spot was spreading under her . It probably wasn't from drool; it was likely due to tears .
Yes, Kazane was crying from the bottom of her heart . She was crying as she thought about what she would do if the precious friend her younger brother had been able to make said he was breaking that friendship .
「No, it has already happened, so it can't be helped . 」
Ori continued「So it's fine」with an apologetic expression in front of that Kazane . She was their lifesaver . He thought what happened to the Baby Core was a shame, but of course Ori was not the kind of man to denounce his benefactor . Naoki also tried to persuade his sister by saying「See, Ori says it's fine,」but Kazane's dogeza didn't stop .
And separated from the dogeza area, all but those three people were in the deeper Baby Core room picking up the fragments of the Baby Core . Those could still be used as materials .
「But it's completely smashed to pieces . 」
Bax said in amazement as he looked at the fragments . Lyle, Naira, and the others in that place made troubled smiles .
「Naoki said that technique can kill a devil with one blow, and it can also blow off the lower half of a Crystal Dragon . 」
Ortova made a doubtful expression after Lyle spoke .
「It can also destroy an Astral body? Ah, that's right . Those dragon claws . 」
And he convinced himself .
「That reminds me, there was the Crystal Dragon extermination . We were also summoned . 」
「We refused since we had this request . 」
Agui nodded with agreement after Naira's words .
「It seems there are about 100 rank A and B adventurers in Dongol City right now . It feels like Earth Dragons are going to be hunted to extinction . 」
Emily added to continue the conversation, but behind her Sera muttered「I wasn't summoned,」which ended it .
Sera was also a rank B adventurer, but the main force of her『Black Duck Party』was 10 rank C adventurers . Therefore, her not being summoned wasn't a problem with her individual skill . Sera was aware of that and intended to make a trivial self-deprecating joke, but it conversely became a「Sorry for bringing it up」atmosphere . Unable to endure it any more, she called out to Yuzu beside her .
「A, anyway, that Stone Minotaur was amazing, wasn't it? Even though I knew Kazane was making it move, I was still scared . 」
「 . . . Eh? Did you say something?」
Yuzu hadn't listened to Sera's words, so she blinked in surprise and asked her to repeat herself .
「It's nothing, I just said Kazane's Stone Minotaur was amazing . It's a Golem, isn't it?」
「Ah, yeah . That's right . Probably . 」
Yuzu falteringly replied .
「Yuzu, since some time ago you haven't really been talking . Are you okay? Did the painkilling technique stop working or something?」
Naira asked, worried about Yuzu's strange reaction .
「No, nothing like that . I got treatment from Agui-san some time ago, and I can't move my leg yet, but I'm fine . 」
「I guess it's fine then . 」
Yuzu was currently sitting on an earth chair she made herself from the wall .
She felt like her emotions were unstable, so even though she wasn't talking, she stuck close to everyone else .
It was evening by the time O-ring, the White Party, and Sera finished gathering all the Baby Core fragments and the the materials from the one eyed giant Cyclops, so they decided to stay there overnight .
After negotiations, the Water Orb obtained from the Monster House belonged to Kazane's party, and the eye from the Cyclops was owned by Ori's party . Kazane said「This too」and tried to give them the Water Orb, but Ori's self-respect didn't allow it . Ori felt like Kazane and the others had helped them way too much for that, since they saved Ori from the Cyclops, recovered Alz's remains, and defeated the Stone Minotaurs, which also helped Yuzu (Ori believed she might have been found as it was) . Rather, Ori said he didn't know how they could return the debt, so Kazane finally stopped her dogeza .
By the way, Sera sighed「Honestly, I wasn't useful at all, was I」while holding a rucksack filled with the Baby Core fragments she had collected herself and Stone Minotaur Corestone fragments . As a matter of fact, even that much could be considered a huge success, so she was thinking about reserving a tavern and drinking with her『Black Duck Party』companions later .
She was filled with the desire to reunite with her companions right away to chase away the inferiority complex that had arisen some time ago
Then Kazane and the others took a bath .
◎ Blue Rifon Fort, Heart Orb Room, Specially Installed Baths
「Why is there suddenly a bath?」
「It's fine, never mind that, let's immediately get in . 」
Ori's mind was full of question marks, but Naoki simply pushed him towards the men's bath . The other male members also went inside with confused faces .
And in the women's bath,
「Using Golem hands and Childstone power to deftly adjust the water . . . 」
Yuzu's broken leg had finally been healed by Agui's recovery magic, and she spoke with a tired voice .
Yuzu was wounded, but the magic suppressed inflammation and there was no concern about internal hemorrhage, so she was currently immersed in the bath . Magic banzai .
And the water temperature was also set to warm . Water from the Water Orb was stored in two water tanks, and the hot water tank was heated by Naoki's fire sword, so they could adjust the water as they wished .
This was the latest work in Kazane's Large Public Bath series, another work separate from the Cottage . Since she obtained the water source called Water Orb, Kazane was finally able to take a bath anytime and anywhere . According to her,
「It has a hot spring feeling . 」
Entering an ordinary bath was insufficient . The girl's desire was like an endless river .
This was a secondary story, but the impressions were: Naira was Boinnng, Sera was Boing, Emily was Choing, Kazane and Yuzu were Choin . What are those impressions? Unknown .
「Wow, it's like a mirror . 」
Emily admired . It was a mirror surface manufactured by a combination of Coating and Crystallization . And that increasingly gave Yuza a headache .
There was Golem exterior processing magic, but it was basically a kind of enchantment magic . Actually, Golem magic itself was also a kind of enchantment magic, but Golem magic was learned from a Grimoire Field (that's what the places were called in this world . Kazane learned her Fly magic from such a Field) in the Tuure Kingdom and Golem remodeling was a different kind of magic, so there weren't many people who could do it . At least, Yuzu couldn't use it .
「Umm . . . Kazane-san . 」
Then Yuzu resolved herself and asked Kazane .
