Chapter 117 Exciting Vacation ⑤?
Part 2
…… To think I had such a reputation…… I can’t go outside anymore. If there was a hole somewhere, I would want to go in it. It isn’t expected even for me. What does it mean that my Alias comes from conquering all the items on the menu.
“Your black eyes and hair, and the girl you took with you is the proof of that. I was looking forward to seeing you visit my shop, but I didn’t expect that you would be coming at a time like this……”
“………… No problem. Master has already taken care of the group of Orcs. You can rest assured. …… The chocolate parfait was very delicious.”
“Wait. I didn’t do anything!?”
I butted in, when, for some reason, Tino and the manager’s conversation was proceeding on its own.
Even if I let it slide that you are happy about my visit, it is not good to be happy about something I didn’t do. It will become a problem of responsibility.
“It was other Hunters who were actually fighting the Orcs, not me. Don’t forget about this. It was probably a coincidence…… That the Orcs left their fort. Tino? I didn’t do anything.”
“Master said it is a coincidence, then it is a coincidence. I am sorry, Manager, please forget what I said earlier.”
“I-I see…… I understand. If that is what you want……”
For some reason, the Manager was nodding with an understanding face when Tino, with full confidence, took back her earlier statement.
§
“Welcome back! I have been waiting for you! Onee-chan said she would tail you, but I stopped her! ”
“Haaaah!? Syt also said it too! Cry-chan, welcome back! What is this, souvenir!?”
It became lively really quickly.
As soon as I opened the front door, I was hugged by Liz who jumped at me and gave Sytry the box that the Manager gave us as a souvenir.
It seems that the contents was an assortment of Gula’s specialties chocolates. If I am even given a souvenir, maybe I should accept the position of being a chocolate fairy.
Tino, who was walking next to me with a *nikoniko* a smile on her face, withdrew her smile and made a normal face.
I know Liz and the others for a long time, but Tino and Liz have been together for a few years now. It seems that she knows how to get along with her.
Liz said as she took my arm and *surisuri* rubbed her cheeks against me.
“I was so bored that I had even wondered if I should attack the fort or not. It seemed that there was a lot of damage, they must have gathered a lot of strength, right?”
“Aaah, it seems that the fort is empty now.”
“Eh!? What do you mean?”
After leaving the cafe shop, I checked the state of the town with Tino, just in case.
I wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly, if the Manager went through hell because of the fake news we told him.
In conclusion, the information about the Orcs abandoning the fort that Tino had heard from the Hunters passing by seemed to be true.
It seemed that the group of Orcs that left the fort was as if they were on a frenzy and went to the plains, without attacking Gula.
The reason was unknown, but it seems to have been Gula’s lucky day. If there was an army of Orcs running rampant on the streets, it would have been a problem on the national scale, it would have needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.
The amount of money and workforce you need would be at another order of magnitude. Attacking the fort with a forest nearby is a pain in the ass, but on a plain you can use wide range magical attacks. The number of Hunters to gather would have to increase too.
If I have one concern to be concerned about, it would be the sudden change of the Orcs.
It seemed that they were in a rush to the point that they were willing to trample each other. There were many Orcs corps lying on the ground at the place where the Orcs passed by. It was too unnatural for subhuman Monster species who possess intelligence to have lost it so much. And we, 《Strange Grief》, have always been suffering from such irregularities.
Is it going to be okay? I was a little worried, but all I could do was to be worried.
Sytry, who had been listening to the conversation with a *nikoniko* smile, *pon* hit her hand as if she had noticed something, but without saying anything, she turned to Tino.
She pointed at the potion on the table in the living room.
“Here, Ti-chan. I have prepared a Sleep Potion so you can have a good night’s sleep.”
You prepared a Sleep Potion to have a good night’s sleep you say…… As a Hunter, Sytry’s potions are mainly aimed at dealing with Monsters and Phantoms. It’s specially concocted to be effective against those Monsters and Phantoms as they are naturally resistant to drugs, so it is too dangerous for humans to ingest it.
Of course, I don’t think that she would give such a potion to our Kouhai, but there is an easier solution.
“Aaah, no problem. She won’t sleep on the sofa, but in the bed next to me.”
“…… What?”
Sytry froze with a *nikoniko* smile on her face and Tino became astonished.
Apparently the cause of her insomnia was her anxiety, and she showed such a nice smile during our date today. I am sure that (From Tino’s point of view) she will be able to relax and sleep well with me, the strongest, next to her.
TL notes:
Thanks for reading. Extra thanks to Eric for his donation! I’ll try to upload something on Sunday, wait for it!
Looks like the one who is going to sleep with Cry isn’t going to be Sytry and her naughty underwear but the innocent Tino!
Will Tino be able to sleep next to the clueless Cry?! Will she attempt something? You will know in the next chapter!
Tchao à plus.
