ED: Ignite
..nn.
I woke up in a place I did not recognize.
Master-dono, youre awake.
I got up and was looking around, when Yoru, in his kitten form, ca in through the window next to the bed that I had been lying down on.
He seed relieved and sowhat worn out.
Yoru, where is this?
My house.
Even though I asked Yoru, a different voice sounded in the room.
It was a voice that Ive heard before.
Kurou.
The beastman blacksmith brought sothing over.
Besides the bed, there was no other furniture within the room, not even a closet.
It was a room that was truly just for sleeping .
How are you feeling.
Terrible. How long was I unconscious for? Also, where is Alia.
My body was listless, a common sign of one who had slept for a long ti.
My head was not working either.
After being summoned to this world, death was always nearby, and I couldnt really sleep.
Even so, I was not at all sleepy right now.
Most likely, I had slept for a long ti.
Ti passed, and as my brain beca more and more awake, I grasped the situation.
I put my hand on my forehead.
Aah, I see. Alia was kidnapped by the demon, huh.
Yes. By the way, Master-dono going berserk and losing consciousness, that was three days ago.
I was shocked by Yorus words.
I even slept for three days, huh.
A long ti ago, I had saved a child who was about to be run over by a truck and was hit instead, but even so, I had only lost consciousness for two days.
At that ti, after the impact, my body had fallen just between the two tires and I ca out practically uninjured.
This ti as well, there werent any visible injuries.
It was quite strange for to have continued to sleep for three days even though I was not injured.
As I was thinking that, the silent Yoru, who had a complicated look on his face, ca in front of .
Yoru? Whats wrong?
When I pulled him into my arms and stroked him, Yoru was purring like a cat.
He had told about it before, but it seems that when he transford into an animal, he completely beca that animal.
The ti when he turned into a black cat as well, when he was stroked in places that felt good, he would unconsciously purr.
Sotis Alia and I would even have trivial contests to see who would make Yoru purr first.
Master-dono isno, never mind.
I was extrely curious.
However, I knew that Yoru, who beca like this, wouldnt say anything unless he had the resolve to do so, so I didnt say anything.
The two of us remained silent, and Kurou dropped the thing that was in his hand onto Akiras lap.
This is what you had requested. Also, about the dagger that were using, I have, more or less, sharpened it. Tell its owner to continue using it carefully.
The dagger that I had borrowed from the adventurer who had withdrawn from the front lines was shining as if it were new.
Confirming its condition, I turned my attention towards the other two daggers.
You split it into two, huh. Was I too rough with it?
Yeah. But, maa, youre an assassin. It should be easier for you to use daggers.
The two daggers were entirely jet black, and when I drew them to take a look at them, even the blade was black.
Theres no doubt about it, the sword Yatonokami had been remade into two daggers.
There was a huge crack right in the middle of the sword, so perhaps thats where it was split.
According to Kurou, the crack was not sothing that he couldnt repair, but he took my occupation into consideration and purposely split the sword up into two.
Also, take this too.
He threw a small box to .
I picked it up and looked at it closely.
Yoru was Yoru, so when he saw that, his eyes widened.
It seems that he recognized it.
Oi, thats that.
Thats right. That is exactly what you think it is. open it and take a look.
Prompted by Kurou, I cautiously opened the cover.
Its a ring?
Inside was crude ring, with a blood-red jewel embedded in the middle.
It was obvious that it was for n.
There was no na engraved on it, there were only words written on the interior.
I am the one who guides you
Furthermore, these words shouldnt exist in this world. Unfortunately they were not Japanese, but English, which was what I was familiar with other than Japanese, so I was sohow able to read them.
It was definitely a hero, not the first generation hero, who was from an English-speaking country who made this.
As expected, youre a hero, huh. Can you read that.
I wasnt a hero though.
Aah, they are not words from the country that we were born in, but exist in our world.
I see, Kurou nodded.
It seems that, he thought that I wouldnt be able to read it since the words and lettering was different than the ones that were engraved on Yatonokami.
I slept through most of my classes, but I tried to stay awake for the Japanese, English, and math classes.
It wasnt for a reason like it being useful in the future or sothing, it was only because the teachers were scary.
The English teacher in particular would put on a carefree smile, seemingly oblivious to everything, but they would quickly notice if any student fell asleep in class.
On top of that, they would call on those who were sleeping, so one needed to be alert.
Maa, its just as it says. That ring, will tell the one who has equipped it the location of anything. Put it on, and focus on what you want to know. It will be at the end of the light that emitted by the ring.
My heart jumped.
Sothing I wanted, sothing I desired.
Which ans, I could also find out Alias location as well.
I hurriedly put the ring on the index finger on my right hand and focused on Alia.
Ooh!
A red string of light ca out of the ring, and illuminated the wall of the room.
The beastns Brute dungeon was in that direction.
Oi, that should be a national treasure. Why do you have it?
Unlike who was delighted that I now knew where Alia was, Yoru softly asked Kurou this.
Even if downplayed, it should still be a treasure that would be stored within the castles treasury.
Kurou shook his head in response, as if it was of no concern.
I got it from soone who I saved a long ti ago. He didnt divulge his social status, so I dont know who they were, but I accepted it since it was useful.
Its good that it wasnt a cursed item, towards Kurou who declared that without a change of facial expression, Yoru felt a bit of killing intent.
If this was a cursed item, and sothing happened to Master-dono, he was determined to imdiately tear this fellow into pieces.
Anyway, with this, I can go to where Alia is. are you coming? Kurou.
When I looked over towards him and asked this, he tilted his head, wondering why I would ask him.
You, youre Alias master, right? Arent you going to go save your disciple?
Good grief, Kurou shrugged his shoulders.
When did she beco my disciple? I dont rember ever saying such a thing.
But, for you to do this much, that ans you care about Alia quite a bit, dont you?
At my question, Kurou fell silent.
Those eyes that hid his thoughts stared off into space.
thats true. Ill look after her if she cos back safely.
