Okami Wa Nemuranai Episode 10.10-11

Episode 10.10-11

He opened his eyes at the sound of crackling fire.

A campfire.

A forest.

It's bright even though it should be night.

Multiple are floating about.

There are humans. Two of them.

It's Nike and Eda.

"You ca to? Lecan! You're awake?"

It's Eda.

What a noisy woman.

That noisy woman is clinging to him while bawling out.

"Thank goodness. Really what a relief. You were about to die and I, I."

"Quiet down."

"Just what on earth happened. You don't lose to anyone ever right? You're stronger than anyone right? And you're also hateful, and impudent."

"You're heavy. Get off ."

"Always acting so aloof, unwavering no matter what's going down."

"Don't use my neck to wipe your snot, you."

"Trampling down any enemy coming your way, no matter who they are."

"I rarely ever do that."

"Puffing out your chest proudly no matter how painful it is, you refuse to change your way."

"...."

"I. I've always envied you."

"I'm telling you, get off ."

"I wanted to be a strong adventurer just like you. And then, even I."

"...."

"And then, even I'll live my life without getting mocked by anyone, without getting pushed around by anybody."

"...I see."

"And besides, you're kind."

"I'm cold to you though."

"There's thoughtfulness within that outward coldness. You won't do unfair or unjust things."

"That's a misunderstanding."

"You never look at with obscene eyes."

"...."

"You're a man among n. You're how an ideal adventurer is like. So I thought, even I could probably change if I stay where you are."

"...."

"I'm so glad you're alive. So so glad."

Eda clung tighter on Lecan's neck.

He could feel her wiping her tears.

The situation he was in was very uncomfortable, but even Lecan wouldn't forcefully tear Eda away here.

"Lecan."

It's Nike's voice.

"You've really got to thank Eda-chan this ti."

"Hum?"

"You got done in by a Curse-laden Graced item and were on your deathbed."

"Curse... You said?"

That's weird.

Lecan had the silver ring equipped. The ring has been enchanted with and a magic ntor. What can you call that beside good luck.

"So you think so too ssuka! It must be true then!"

"You must have absolutely no clue what it ans."

"That's okay! It's because I'm lucky that I'm happy now."

"That's right. That's what important."

"Yes."

"My head hurts. Gonna sleep."

"Ah, Lem cast on you before you go to sleep."

"...Please."

Lecan thought while sleeping.

What was that attack about really in the end.

Zack made Dovor present in the sa room while he had a eting with Lecan.

In order to inform Dovor about Lecan being his father's nesis.

As a result, he assaulted Lecan together with Gido.

Did Zack let Dovor in that room to instigate the attack.

Or perhaps, Zack wanted Dovor to have the resolve even after knowing that Lecan was his father's nesis, otherwise he wouldn't make it in the future.

Lecan doesn't get it.

He doesn't have enough lead to draw a conclusion.

What's clear is that there is no more obstacle for Zack to hire Lecan now.

Zack Zaikaz does not make decisions based on likes and dislikes but purely on loss and gain. No matter what kind of history there is between him and Lecan, Zack would pay Lecan fittingly so long as Lecan could prove useful to him.

Or perhaps, he found Dovor to be too much to handle after the death of Marakis and used Lecan to get rid of him.

In any case, it's an exceedingly heartless approach.

But as an adventurer, a heartless client isn't all that bad. As conversely, even though passionate clients may be fine if you have a good relationship with them, they would turn to be extrely troubleso when you don't. While heartless people will keep their promise regardless of the change in situation and relationship. As it's a relationship bound purely by promise.

He's got a strong inclination toward Zack Zaikaz to begin with. The man has a strong emotional attachnt toward prospering his lands and fortune. Humans with strong emotional attachnt will occasionally take actions that go beyond reason at ti.

It's not that Lecan likes Zack. He probably won't ever accept a quest from Zack either. However, he's understood Zack enough that he probably wouldn't mind taking one or two quests from him depending on rewards and as long as it doesn't directly harm Chaney. At that point, Zack will probably pay reimbursent fee for Dovor's attack this ti.

That he managed to make Lecan understand that is a sign of victory for Zack in this chance eting.
