Chapter 384

(384) Sudden wanted poster

Translator: Tseirp

I brought Milky back to Suzuki’s home .

“Rana-san, I’m back . Sorry but please help to prepare a room . ”

“Yes . According to the manual, when a guest brings home a girl apart from his lover –”

Rana-san thoughts were going down the wrong path .

That wasn’t my intention .

“Er, please just prepare a room . ”

“Understood . I will prepare a room immediately . ”

She prepared a room with two pillows and a large futon with pink revolving lanterns above it .

I seriously wondered where did they manufacture that manual she follows .

For the time being, I laid Milky down on the futon .

At that moment, Milky woke up, checked her surroundings, and raised her upper body while moving back .

“ … This … what … have you already done it?”

Milky showed an expression of sadness .

“You’re mistaken, I don’t plan to do anything weird and I have not done anything . ”

Her character was out of tune now that she reacted like an ordinary girl in that situation .

“Ah, this is the first time we’ve talked . ”

Milky nodded twice silently after I said that .

I guess she still didn’t trust me .

d.a.m.n, this was tough .

For now, I turned off the pink lights, opened the paper sliding door, and allowed light from outside to enter .

“I brought you here after you collapsed . ”

“What about the man just now?”

“We parted ways there . ”

“ … I’m sorry for getting in the way . ”

On the contrary, you saved me .

“Do you know Miri? Ah, she might have called herself Miryuu . ”

“Yes, I know her . We talked in the airship . ”

“Miri told me to buy your book and that she has a message in it for me . Do you know anything about it?”

“To buy my book?”

Milky tilted her head and took out a book from her bag .

“Miri-san asked me to hold onto this book . ”

She pa.s.sed me the book .

“Could you sell me this book?”

“It’s a request from Miri-san so it will be 10 silver coins . It is a book safe for all ages so you can show it to Carol-san too . ”

I don’t plan to show it to Carol even if it is safe for all ages .

“All right . Is this okay?”

I exchanged the book for 10 silver coins but strangely it was the same book as the book Felice had .

Why did Miri ask me to purchase this book?

“By the way, is Julio and Sutchino in this town as well?”

“No, the two of them are on the airship . I wanted to partic.i.p.ate in the doujinshi book event so … I slept with books in a borrowed warehouse on Magic Street . ”

Ah, so the books were stored in Magic Street .

So if there was no reaction from the book at the dry cleaner, we would have found Milky .

“So Milky, where are the other books?”

“Are you interested!?”

“Nope, not at all . ”

I answered instantly .

“That was the only book I wrote for sale this time so the content is mostly the same . ”

“Mostly? There are differences?”

“That book is a sample print so the products after that had some modifications . ”

“I see . ”

Nevertheless, I couldn’t understand Miri’s intention for me to purchase this book .

“ … Then, there’s only Miri, Daijiro-san, Julio, and Sutchino on the airship?”

“No, there are other staff on the ship too . A chef who trained in a high-cla.s.s restaurant in the past, a good ma.s.seuse, a doctor, a musician, a bartender, and others . ”

“Sounds like a high-cla.s.s cruise ship . ”

Don’t tell me that Miri was enjoying alcohol?

She might have been the demon lord in her past life but she was now a middle school student .

“So, do you know where the airship is headed?”

“I didn’t ask for details . But I remember Miri-san looking at the flight plan and pointing at Lake Wibble in the Eastern Continent . ”

“Lake Wibble in the Eastern Continent?”

“Yes, she mentioned something about a great water spirit . ”

Great water spirit … according to j.a.panese fantasy knowledge, it would be Undine?

There was the Great fire spirit, Salamander, so it would not be strange that Undine would be sealed somewhere .

For the time being, that concluded the task I had in this town .

There was still the unresolved case of the transmitting talisman and the abnormal sp.a.w.ning of monsters but once the royal army siege is lifted, I will first gather information on the devil race .

I thought to myself as I walked along the corridor,

“Kusunoki-kun! It’s a disaster!”

Suzuki appeared with another crisis .

“What is it, Suzuki?”

“The Adventurer’s Guild communication function has been restored and information from the outside came in but among it was information on wanted posters for criminals – Jofre-kun and Elize-san are currently wanted . ”

“It is probably some misunderstanding? In fact, being wanted was evidence that they are doing fine – ”

“It isn’t the situation to be so carefree . Jofre-san and Elize-san sneaked into the Great Cathedral through a secret pa.s.sage, escaped with the captive devil races, and disappeared . ”

“What!?”

I couldn’t hide my surprise from the unexpected turn of events .

Flute had given up and I thought it was something impossible for me but those two idiots were able to do it?

“Did they mistake them for somebody else?”

“I don’t think they would release a 100,000 sense bounty for a mistake . I have been interrogated until just now since they have information that I entered the town with them . I told them about Kusunoki-kun but I don’t think you will be summoned . ”

Suzuki pa.s.sed me two wanted posters .

It was a caricature . The amount was 100,000 sense .

“What did you do to make it turn into such a big deal?”

I muttered words that wouldn’t reach them as I marveled at their actions that I could never comprehend .
