“Grandarian moon lake, huh…” Sli stands in front of a huge lake, gazing at the huge mountain across the lake. But despite the scene is overflowing with the beauty of nature, Sli Oz is having a wry smile on his face.
(Does that old geezer seriously…) (Sli)
“What is it?” Sli asked towards the thin air.
“It seems that the Grandaria kingdom’s old guardian, the sword god, Kyron, has truly moved and secluded himself together with the orphanage under him to that mountain over there, my lord,” A voice together with a pair of glowing red eyes appear from Sli’s shadow.
“Seriously..? What the hell is that old geezer doing..?” (Sli)
“Yes, the information is considered valid and accurate, my lord. The winter princess of the Grandaria kingdom always use this route every ti she visits the old guardian,” Said the “Being” inside Sli’s shadow.
“This route? Does she froze the lake to cross over it?” Sli saw that there are still lots of living animals inside the lake, if Sera does indeed froze the lake to cross the lake, the animals inside the lake would have died.
“Yes, but she doesn’t freeze the lake to cross the lake, my lord. She usually rents a boat that is owned by the old lady that owned the inn over there, my lord,” A shadow of a hand, pointing at a certain direction appear from Sli’s shadow.
Sli follows the direction where the wraith that is also a mber of the jack of all trades secret order points. There are several mbers of jack of all trades secret orders that work directly under Sli to both protect and help him get information.
The wraith points at a small wooden dock, where only a small wooden boat docked on it. Sli saw the old lady that seems to be the boat’s owner that the wraith ntioned and approached her.
“Excuse , Ma’am. Did you happen to be the owner of this boat?” Sli asked the old lady respectfully.
“Ah… What a respectful young man… A young man as polite as you are very rare these days… Yes, I am, young man..” Answered the old lady with a cheerful smile.
Sli observes the old lady once more, and so points caught his eyes. Even though her age is definitely old, but her standing pose and her eyes are sharp. It’s not rare for a woman to not cultivate their mana, but the old lady in front of Sli is different.
(She’s hiding it huh…) (Sli)
(Yup! Definitely!) (Fenrir)
(Indeed. It must be the case..) (Reo)
(I don’t ask your opinion) (Sli)
(Boo!! You’re anie!!) (Fenrir)
(Pfft!!!) (Reo)
(Hey! Reo! He ant both of us!!) (Fenrir)
(Of course not. Right, master…?) (Reo)
Sli let out a small sigh.
“You look so lively, Ma’am. You must be a strong fighter in your pri,” Said Sli with a smile.
The old lady’s eyes sharpen for a slight mont before the old lady made a huge smile and laugh.
“I’m always in my pri!!” Said the old lady cheerfully.
“So? What business do you have with my boat, young man?” Asked the old lady.
“Well, I want to talk about sothing with the legendary old guardian of Grandaria kingdom,” (Sli)
“With Kyron!? Who are you, young man?” The old lady asked with a face filled with questions.
“Forgive my rudeness for not introducing myself earlier, Ma’am. I am Sli Tarot, the ambassador, the temporary ambassador of the Tarot empire,” Sli politely answered.
“T-tarot!? You an that empire where that huge tree exist!?” The old lady asks as she points at a huge tree that soars to the sky, the tree is completely visible even from this distance.
“Indeed, Ma’am. So can I know how much is it to rent for your boat?” (Sli)
“Hm… Since you’re such a hotshot, you have lots of money, right? So about 5 silver-” (Old lady)
“Here,” Sli tossed five coins towards the old lady.
“E-eh!?” The old lady gasped when she saw the coins in her hand.
“G-gold!?” (Old Lady)
“I don’t know why you’re hiding your identity, but I hope those coins could at least help you sohow. I’ll return at noon,” Sli said as he gets ready to ride the boat.
“I would be glad if you prepare so delicious als for to eat at lunch, Ma’am. That inn is yours, right?” Sli said as he points at the wooden inn near the dock that not fancy at all.
“What a good boy you are,” Said the old lady.
“Yes, of-” (Sli)
“Mr. Sli?” An unexpected voice of a confused girl suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
“P-princess!” The old lady exclaid in a pleasant surprise.
“Hello, Miss Rose! How are you? Here, so gifts,” Sera gave a box to the old lady.
“As usual, thank you very much, princess,” The old lady Rose thanked Sera with a warm smile.
While looking at the scene that looks like a couple of a grandmother and a granddaughter, the words that the wraith told Sli. He said that Sera usually took this route every ti she visits the old man Kyron.
(I see… So the information is indeed accurate, huh…) (Sli)
“So, what are you doing here, Mr. Sli? And why are you smirking?” Sera asked towards Sli. Her eyes turn into a sharp one when she stares at Sli.
(This is getting troubleso…) (Sli)
“I’m thinking of eting the old guardian of this kingdom, princess. If you please, let excuse myself first,” Sli said as he about to retreat and run away from the trouble magnet.
“Wait!” The old woman made Sli stop in his tracks.
“Since both of you are going towards the sa way, why don’t both of you youngsters go together? It’s a man’s job to escort a lady, right?” (Old lady Rose)
(Yup! Master’s lost) (Fenrir)
(Indeed) (Reo)
(Damn it!) (Sli)
“I think that the princess-” (Sli)
“That’ll be a great idea!” Sera cuts Sli’s words.
Sli let out a small sigh as his escape route had disappeared.
“Fine..” Sli said weakly.
************************
“So? What are you doing here, Mr. Sli?” Sera asked Sli, filled with curiosity.
“That’s my line, Princess. What are ‘You’ doing here, for the princess of the kingdom to wander around without any guards or escorts with you, in an age like this, where war could break out any mont, what you’re doing could be described as suicide,” Sli said with a slightly annoyed tone.
“Well, that’s true… But I am a sword god ranked swordswoman, there is no need for to have any guards or escorts. And it’s disrespectful to visit the guardian while bringing a crowd,” (Sera)
(I never ntioned bringing dozens of escorts and guards, dear princess. Couldn’t you just bring two or three sword saint warrior with you? If you’ve brought them, I won’t need to beco your rower!) (Sli)
(Um… Master? You realize that you’re not saying that out loud, right?) (Fenrir)
(Yes, I do,) (Sli)
(Oh… Good then…) (Fenrir)
Sli let out another small sigh as he continues to row the boat.
“So what about you? What are you doing here?” Sera asked once more.
“I’m going to et the legendary guardian of the Grandaria kingdom, of course,” (Sli)
“Yes, I could see that. I an what kind of business do you have with grandpa?” Sera asked as she tilts her head slightly. The thought of the word ‘Cute’ passed Sli’s mind for a mont, but he removes the thought quickly as he shook his head a little.
“I’m curious about the old guardian, and what made him isolate himself to this lonely looking mountain,” Sli answered while averting his eyes from Sera’s gaze.
“Hm…” Sera’s eyes turn distant as Sli’s question made her rember the pain that had faintly disappeared.
The fact that she is the princess of the kingdom that defiled Ren’s honor by saying that he’s an ally of the demons despite he is the one that solely protected the kingdom from the sudden appearance of the demonic army.
(Crap! It seems that I’ve landed on a land mine!) (Sli)
“Well, anyway, how about you, Prin-” (Sli)
Whoosh!!
A strong wind blows, bringing unexpected news to Sli.
!!!
Sli’s face turns serious.
‘Enemy, dozens,’
The ssage ca from the Wraith’s magic, while using the wind as the dium, he reported to Sli.
“Don’t let any of them alive,” Sli whispered to the wind, as the wind carried his ssage towards the Wraith.
Crack!
The paddle that Sli used to row the boat hits sothing hard, and the air seems to be far colder than before.
(No, this mana is different from the princess’s… It’s rough and unpleasant) (Sli)
Sli about to warn Sera, but she looked prepared as she calmly reaches her sword.
Sli and Sera’s gaze t, Sli’s calm smile that seems to have seen through the outco of what will happen made Sera felt a strong nostalgic sensation.
As they nod to each other, both of them prepare to counter their pursuers.
“Ice fortress,” (Sera)
“teor bullet,” (Sli)
