071 – To Return A Blow (First)
The street that had stone-paved houses lining up along it, was quiet At this early hour, it was to be expected that no one was out and about Although it was the same for Beryl’s street and the capital, the extreanic feeling
Maybe it was the low temperature, maybe it was the whiteness of the cloudy sky The only sound that reverberate throughout the street that was connected to the checkpoint was froh it
The national border street, Flowason
It was a small town situated at the side of the Iza River that was the border of both Elze alone, was enough to set up a border checkpoint, despite not having walls to prevent illegal entry, was easy to understand once you think about it In other words, there was no other way to enter / cross the river
Along the upper stream of the Iza River lies the [Deical beasts had their den within the river itself It goes without saying that if you tried to swis pulled by the huge Ajipo, Sea Birds would be circling above To cross the river, one would need to freeze the surface of the river while fighting off the huge fishes and birds
Those who could actually do that would not go for illegal entry in the first place
As for Florwason, it was hard to say that it was flourishi+ng despite all that Those who visit wereand a portion of travelers (who used it as a water hole) only
Theair felt cool So this hat it meant to come to the north It sure was cold
” Found an inn! ”
An inn was found easily a little distance away from the checkpoint It seem to be called ‘Matilda’ The beautiful proprietress of the inn must be called Matilda It was built in stone, as like the surroundings, but had a huge wooden door around 2 th
” Hey Willia, don’t run! ”
Zirco gave a wryly laugh as he chased aftera Ninja, he was perfectly acting as a gentle and stylish father No one could find any fault with the Intelligence Corp when he could act till this extent
Eh? Me? I threw h the baby period, this was nothing Haha, yes, this was nothing Once I could throw ood
” Kay! ”
I pushed the door but it was too heavy for me to move it… hat I acted out To the cheat-th but for a 8 year old young girl, the door would posed a problem
As I busy ht up witha ninja, he sure was refreshi+ng [TN: As in cool, a fine man]
I looked up at hihtly sullen face and our eyes entle sozaru or seisha and be done with it?! Ikemen all explode!
As if ignoring my inner voice, Zirco-san went ahead and entered the inn, his water-blue hair swishi+ng, thanks to the wind By the way, Buu-san aiting behind uard after all
Controlling , I chased after Zirco-san, only to find him already at the reception
” Welcome to the Matilda Inn ”
” 1 night, 1 room please ”
” Sure 40 rook per person so that will be 120 rook Are you okay with the beast in the same room? ”
” There is no problem ”
Matilda-san was beautiful, I think Right now, her plump body was seen squeezed behind the reception desk and the wall Without hiding her disdain, she snorted at Buu-san
” Or rather, I would be troubled if we are not in the sauard ”
Zirco-san ended the subject with a s a key out from somewhere inside the counter, she slide herself out of the reception area Ita sound effect for her Ploop, or so like that
But, as heard, this country had a deep-rooted discriainst Beast it with my eyes
Buu-san seem not mind at all Well, it was true that there was no need to specially pay any heed to anyone not iht be an obstacle for the road ahead, itof a way to solved it
I then began to follow after Matilda-san, alked ahead of us with the keys jingling
” Food will be charged separately 1 set would be 10 rook …… ”
Matilda-san turned around suddenly Our eyes roan, she averted her eyes A to look at?
” …Mther? ”
” Yes Willia, come here ”
” I am Willia I will be in your care ”
By Zirco-papa urging, I gave s I looked up to the stunned Matilda-san who, rossness, took a step back Our eyes ain
” The food’s free as a service ”
Matilda-san, whose eyes andering about unnaturally, said as she trerossed out that she took pity and provided food?
Somehow, I felt dizzy at that and instinctively kept close to Zirco-san
” Th, thank you ”
But I did not forget my manners
” Well then, I wonder ill happen? ”
Once we entered the room and shut the door, Zirco-san iic As expected of a ninja Changingone, I openedbecause of how ninja Zirco is]
