Chapter 257
Chapter 257 - Let's Aim at that Girl
「Hahahaha, you all are Jinrai's companions? There are only young girls and boys, aren't there? Also, Emily, Lyle, it's been a long time . 」
An older lady with a good physique said that while entering the inn .
That older lady was Chloe Hakua, Jinrai's older sister . She was five years older than Jinrai, but she looked like she was in her 50s .
Kazane had heard that people with high Magic Power often aged slower, so that degree wasn't so unusual .
「Nice to meet you . 」「Much obliged to you for master . 」「It's been a long time, granny Chloe . 」「Yo, granny . We came . 」「I am happy to meet you for the first time . 」「Nice to meet you . 」「Kuee」
And they each exchanged their greetings . In addition, none of them touched on the object like a worn out rag that the older lady with a good physique was carrying . Louise was bitterly smiling from the side .
「This is why . . . I didn't want to meet her . 」
The worn out rag grumbled, but it was nonsensical, so it was ignored . Yumika was flustered and worried about it, but it seemed the rag was conscious and not resisting, so she decided to do the same as the surrounding people and not mention it .
Then Chloe said「Good grief, how many decades has it been since you returned?」while grinding the worn out rag's head with her knuckles . 「Eeh, I'm not a child any more」the worn out rag protested, but Chloe refuted「You've returned to being a brat, haven't you?」In fact, the worn out rag not only had a rejuvenated appearance; there had also been times recently where it had been acting awfully merry like a child . Moreover, her statement could be taken as saying she noticed . As expected of a relative .
After that, Irisa informed them that the meal was ready, so the party left the room and went to eat at the dining room . Perhaps because Jinrai wanted to stay away from Chloe, he sat separately with the innkeeper and a man who resembled the innkeeper (probably a sibling?) and drank with them . They said things like「You've also had a hard time」and「Please think of us as brothers,」and Jinrai said「You guys already don't feel like strangers . 」It seemed the three got along . Is that perhaps as expected of people from the same village?
Chloe seemed simultaneously deeply moved and displeased as she stared at them for a while, but she left them alone and asked the youngster group about their journey .
Chloe roared with laughter when she heard about Jinrai being called The Cat Knight, but she was more often surprised by the eye popping anecdotes that came flying one after the other . The innkeeper's daughter, Irisa, was also listening to them, but before anyone noticed, she was sitting beside Naoki, so Emily and Tiara couldn't relax .
Lyle had thought「She's pretty good, isn't she?」about Irisa when he came to the village as a child, so he harbored some bloodlust towards his close friend . Though recently, Lyle often talked with Kazane about Tatsuyoshi-kun Normal's adjustments, so Naoki's bloodlust towards Lyle was slightly higher . As expected of close friends . It wouldn't be strange for them to start killing each other at any time .
However, after that Kazane put the sleeping Tatsuo (wearing black dragon equipment) on Yuuko-nee and returned to their room . Irisa was also lured and followed them, so the impending crisis was avoided .
And in the room, Irisa indulged in enjoying Yuuko-nee's fluffy fur, and she was also fascinated by the light touches from her four tails . Before anyone realized, Jinrai (Status Condition: Drunk) slipped into the room and was also fascinated as he touched Yuuko-nee's squishy paws . They were fascinated over and over again .
(Mmm?)
Kazane simply watched from a distance, and she felt like Yuuko-nee was a bit fat . Yuuko-nee had recently been spending all her time napping on top of the carriage to supply Magic Power . There were rarely any signs of her moving .
「Did you get fat?」
「Funyaaaaa!?」
Yuuko-nee's hair bristled after Kazane's question . It seemed it was a bullseye .
And Kazane decided to make her run sometimes instead of letting her always lay on the carriage . Fat cats were also cute, but Yuuko-nee wasn't a pet . Letting her get fat was dangerous . She had never heard of a summoned beast dying of obesity .
********
And the night grew late . When they noticed, it was already time for all the youngsters to return to their rooms and sleep . Because they did intensive training in the morning, the standard for the『White Party』was early to bed, early to rise . Except for Louise .
「It looks like Jinrai-kun is also already asleep . 」
As Louise spoke, Chloe was pouring a drink into her stein .
「Hmph, he drank too much . That stupid younger brother . I mean, why didn't he even notice he was in the girl's room?」
「Oh, Jinrai-kun . He's sleeping while using Yuuko-nee as a blanket . Together with Irisa-chan . 」
Louise laughed while thinking about how he would react in the morning . Chloe also laughed in reply . A cute and elegant grandmother also chuckled from the side . It was Jinrai's childhood friend Mirua, who had just joined them .
「But when Jinrai-kun looked the same as before, I was surprised . 」
「Well, that may be so . 」
Louise replied while drinking the drink poured by Chloe . Well, being surprised was normal . It would be normal to think that it was a different person . There were ways to delay aging with enough money, but there were very few ways to rejuvenate, and almost no people who knew of their existence .
「But in the end, you only exchanged greetings with that idiot, didn't you? Don't you have something you want to say, Mirua?」
Chloe said while looking at Mirua . But Mirua shook her head .
「I'm just happy that I was blessed with Jiran . I think Mabel Nee-san had the same feeling . 」
「That's an admirable thing . You said the father was unclear, even though you two never got involved with any other man . 」
Mirua laughed「Fufu」at Chloe's words .
「That person staying the way he is is fine for me . 」
Mirua said, and Chloe shrugged . It was an exchange that had been repeated dozens of times . Since Mirua and Mabel were in agreement, Chloe also didn't say anything to Jinrai, but it irritated her, so she imposed punishment by fist on Jinrai .
「Besides, that man can't be a father . He's always self-centered . 」
That was obvious at a glance from what happened after he married Cindy . It was like a miracle that Jiraid didn't stray off the right path . That was also partially due to Cindy imprinting how wonderful Jinrai was on Jiraid . It was practically brainwashing . Mirua thought that was impossible for her .
As a woman, Mirua still loved Jinrai even now, but as a mother, she didn't think a child would grow up properly with such a man as their father . So in a way, it could be said that Mirua cut off Jinrai the moment she got pregnant .
