Chapter 59: Dimension?Maze.
Translator: Mr.Nobody
“Thank you for saving Mira, Masatsugu-dono”
Laara said that and bowed her head.
“No,no it wasn’t such a great thing. Mira took the subordinate of the great merchant who wanted to take back Lucia as a slave, so this is returning the favor.”
I shook my head and said that.
“Even while having such power you are humble, as I thought you are amazing Masatsugu-dono”
She said it while looking at me with over-zealous eyes.
Sigh, I didn’t have that kind of intention.
“Besides, it’s been such a long time since I’ve seen Master directly fight, as expected he’s stunning!”
“Despite holding back he was that strong…”
“He’s amazing that even undoed the curse on Mira-chan.”
“Master is cool”
“I’m convinced that the Fairy Village will be saved.”
The other girls gave their opinions one after another.
Oi, if you flatter me so much I’ll be embarrassed.
When we were having this conversation Mira appeared to be waking up.
“Hnn”
She let out such groan and her eyelids were slowly opening.
“Aruji-sama” (TN: Imma keep this for Mira, because there are enough people calling him Master in their own ways.)
And then when our eyes met she blushed while saying that.
“Ehm, are you still half-asleep? Your Master is Laara, right?”
I replied as if it’s obvious.
“The Devil king is obviously my Lord. However Masatsugu-sama is also a person worthy of me to serve under too. My Aruji-sama.”
But she slowly shook her head and said that while looking at me with moist eyes.
“No, I haven’t done anything special?”
I said that confused.
“The Puppet Skill is a terrifying heretical skill that couldn’t be undone. I was embraced by despair knowing that I’ll be a puppet of the Evil God’s subordinates and then used as a soldier. That’s why there wasn’t a day where I didn’t think of my death coming sooner. However, Masatsugu-sama far from killing me he has released me from the skill and top of it even healed my wounds. Subduing me was certainly not easy… And, your appearance while we were fighting was really splendid…”
But, she said that as if she was letting out all of the fever in the inner parts of her chest.
“Oi, oi Mira you!!”
Laara flusteringly called her.
That’s right. Having two Master’s would probably be….
“You are 7th place! Since I am 5th place… Do not make mistakes about it!”
What are you talking about with 5th and 7th place? I’m confused.
“Naturally, Laara-sama. Neverthless, Devil King-sama and Aruji-sama. I couldn’t be happier as a warrior than to serve both of you.”
“Fumu, it’s fine if you understand then. It was inevitable to be charmed by Masatsugu-dono. Besides, if we are together, then there will be no problem of which one of us is superior.”
Such conversation was being held.
What kind of meaning is there?
But the other girls joined in.
“We can’t do anything about it…”
“In the case of Masatsugu-sama, he’ll always attract and collect…”
They had philosophical expression and earnestly nodded with each other.
Uum, I can’t understand most of it. At any rate talk between girls is mysterious to me.
I wonder if the number of orphan girls that needs to be cared for has increased.
“Well it’s fine. Okay, let’s advance ahead again!”
I said that and we set out.
“Please wait for a bit, Aruji-sama. You won’t be able to reach that castle!”
But Mira called out to me flustered and said that like a riddle.
“N? What do you mean by that? We can already see the castle from here…”
I got confused.
“Yeah, you can see it. The command officer of Whikram’s Forces now is a being called Mist who’s 7th rank amongst Whikram’s trusted retainers and he’s the highest class of ghost family ‘Madness Ghost’, Mist power is manipulation of dimensions. With his power he distorts the path to the castle and makes it look like you’re never getting closer to the castle.”
Mira shook her head and explained herself.
“Fuumu, is that so… Manipulating dimensions is troubling.”
“What should we do, Master?”
Lucia asked me.
“First the way to the castle… No to the dimension castle. Let’s advance towards the dimension castle. The castle can be seen, so we might find a method to reach it.”
“Yes, I understand!”
“Understood!”
“I feel like if it’s Masatsugu-dono he’ll manage it somehow!”
The girls with Mira in them replied lively and we set out with an aim for the dimension castle.
And then after walking around for 1 hour I feel like the distance to the castle hasn’t shortened at all.
On the contrary, it feels like we’ve walked around in circles.
I see, it’s just like Mira explained Mist’s power seems to be distorting the dimension.
If you could see it clearly the castle was a shadow with no substance and swayed like a mirage.
It seems we’re completely stuck in our opponents trap.
“To think we’re in this situation.”
Mira was extremely confused.
“What should we do… At this rate the sun will set.”
“Even if you say that, it’s not like we can proceed forward.”
“Mumu~ This is annoying~”
“I tried to advance as much as possible in the sky earlier but it was no good as I thought. The space-time in this whole area is distorted.”
“I give up!”
“It’s not easy to distort the dimensions this much inside the barrier of the Fairy Village.”
Rest of the girls were also confused.
But I shifted my attention to the girls.
“No, I have a good idea.”
And informed them.
When I did so.
“Eh!?”
All of the girls simultaneously raised their voice in surprise.
