Manowa Chapter 49

Vicinity of the Imperial City Griffonia, A Rocky Area.

Skill Golem Maker Hippo-kun and Hippo-kun.

Kazane raised her cane, and the surrounding rocks and soil began to move, creating two stone horses.

Now then, we can return on these.

Ah, its Hippo-kun. Thats a reminiscent feeling.

That also reminds too: I havent called him out for a week, naa.

Since she rembered that she used to ride it daily, Kazane also felt a very nostalgic feeling.

In the end, Kazanes condition was fully recovered after she woke up after the loss of a single day, and the next day, they set a basic plan to restock their supplies in the capital, marking the day to set off for three days later.

Then, Ill ride with Shishou, Tiara will ride with Kazane. Iya, so dont judge with those eyes ne.

Really? Is that alright?

Doubtfully, Tiara tried to confirm this. She had her hair in a chignon style, cut down to her shoulders. Her garnts were ones with high fire resistance for summoners. These red ceremonial clothes of the Rondo line had the sa fuction when put on, just like the imflammable cloaks of Kazane and Yumika. Her weapon was a rapier which had a hand guard shaped like the Ruby Griffon. It was said to be a magic tool to help summon the Ruby Griffon, but we hadnt seen that yet.

Its fine, so hurry up get on.

Yumika casually called out to Tiara and then got together with Zinray onto Hippo-kun.

Hm. So you also have hardships.

If it wasnt for this, she would be a good girl, right.

While Tiara didnt gave of the feeling that she wanted to have a special monopoly on Kazane, yet Yumika still encouraged her, disregarding the fact that her own heart would ache if Tiara alone had a monopoly on Kazane. Actually Yumika didnt even want any of this, but well.

Ah, sooner or later, she will get probably used to it.

Having said this Hippo-kun already had started galloping.

***

Should we go et up with Yumika and co then? If we dont hurry, Alduin-sama might cause a scene again

I cant deny that, ne.

Ah, he might co aiming for Kazane.To these words firs had left her in his griffon form, Kazane could only respond with a wry smile.

King Alduin (He had beco King, though the coronation ceremony had already been several months prior) displayed unexpected opposition to Tiara embarking on a journey and only allowed it under firs persuasion.

If you say that staying with Kazane is good, then wouldnt it be all good and settled if I just married her. In fact such a bombshell announcent had been dropped by Alduin.

Just because your daughter is cute, dont say idiotic things.

And with this Kazane curtly refused. Still Tiara and firs opinions were different from hers.

That was in all seriousness, right. (Tiara)

Without a doubt. (firs)

Sohow he appears to have been captivated by her during the battle with Blair. If Kazane wasnt a child (Alduin perceivs her as 10 years old), then firs believed that, with Alduins character, hed bet on him sneaking into her bedroom at night. That was sothing he was known for across the nation.

Or worse, he might not mind her young age in light of her cute loveliness and go for a suicide attack. Tiara firmly decided to preserve Kazanes chastity and insisted to depart from this country at once.

***

anwhile, there were still no findings related to Blair Deckerman, ak

The search keeps on going, yet you should knowfirs said said so, and with the opponent being a demon, it was almost impossible to find him. There werent any other cards they could play besides setting a bounty on Blair Deckerman.

This reminds you can bring out Sieg for another 5 days, right? The question ca from Yumika, who is keeping pace besides her.

Errr, is that so? Whats wrong?

The Sieg you spoke about, he is a summoned hero from ancient tis called to protect , isnt that right? Kazane was tightly hugged from behind with a *gyuu-*, and Tiaras breasts went *tayun tayun* as she asked. It shook in a splendid manner. Though, for Kazane, the notion of breasts swaying in that fashion was a rather unknown idea.

Ah, there was such a story. Yumika made a gesture apologizing. She had heard it from soone while Kazane was sleeping.

Kazane shook her head. She decided that if such an explanation was already there, it could be used to save ti.

Yea, I wont be able to call him out for awhile. Once summoned, I cant again for another 10 days.

So there was such a restriction. Tiara nodded as if she understood it.

Therefore, I thought it would be bad if Diablo returned before this cooldown finishes. Yumika was worried, Kazane could clearly see. Diablo had said sothing quite sinister before he left after all.

Hmm, certainly I also have no confidence in gaining victory. (Zinray)

Kazane nodded in agreent before opening her mouth to speak.

He said hed co back so day, so for now, he wouldnt co, I think. Besides, he is the enemy no matter where he is. Zinray made a bitter face. An enemy who easily invaded a royal castle. Certainly the danger he posed wont change based off of where he is.

Well if he cos, he cos. Nothing we can do about that, apart from that it would be terrible if he assaulted the onsen! Yumika, we must advance focusing only on that!

Having said this, Kazane cried Hya-, spurring Hippo-kun into a gallop.

Hey, calm down a bit. Geez~

Exclaiming good grief, Yumika followed, hastening her steed.

Attacking the onsen. Just as Kazane said, in this age, there existed onsens. Midway on their return to Winlard, they had scheduled a stop at an onsen district. After having finished such a big job, it were essential to relieve the fatigue at the hot spring. It is a necessity of reality and their absolute right. To say that so days demanded a hot spring.would not be an overstatent.

*******************************************************

Toruda Hot Spring District Dusk

Kazane was shouting. Here is the hot spring district! In English, ONSENGAI!

Thats romanji. And the only one who understood its the aning might be Yumika

This is romanji. Yet she declared her own failure. Yumika understood it but choose to ignore. In so cases, it just wasnt worth talking.

Hmph, it has a large public bath, with inns nearby, ne.

Inspecting the information board, Yumika confird the letter of recomndation brought with them.

With the letter of recomndation, along with the notes written by Alduin, they aid for the upper class lodgings of this city. In short, it was possible to stay at a high class Ryokan (Japanese style inn).

Slls of sulfur, nee.

Kazane thought that sothing like [A Dogs Sense of Sll] would be oversensitive, but it wasnt. It was quite a convenient thing.

Even though onsens appear close to the Argo Mountain Range, there are none close to Conrad?

In a place quite distant from the town, I heard there might be a hot water spring. It was Zinray who answered Kazanes question.

Hee?

I prefer a place where I can sleep properly to a secret hot spring.

Yumika has no romance.

Even though she said so, Kazane also wasnt particularly fixated about it, but anyway.

Is it alright if we keep advancing like this?

Yea. It looks like we are going to the one furthest in.

Its a place where I often ca to in the old days. (firs)

Gramps also? By the way, firs told Kazane to call him Gramps. He said that since he wasnt King anymore, it would be strange to call him that, but Yumika and Zinray kept calling him firs-sama.

Well, I entrusted the Ryokan in this inner part to a mistress.

Ah, so its such a thing. Or rather, isnt this the place we are heading for now?

To Yumikas words, firs nodded confirming that.

Well, its also sothing of a greeting. Officially, I have died after all

Your appearance has completely changed.it looks like she might cry.

If its that way, then whatever. However that person is not this sort of person.

Seems likely to be a peculiar character.

Well, lets go for now.

Despite bearing worries in mind, Yumika began guiding the party forward.
