Chapter 150: Root’s miscalculation (1/2)

Chapter 150: Root’s miscalculation

Translator Note:

Hello there guys, short chapter here. I am in the midst of exam periods, so I will get it out of the way and say it is short here and now. I save you the trouble of saying short in comments????

The main reason I have been pumping out chapters despite being exams is because I like these chapters.

Also, last chapter was really interesting for me, I don’t understand why there was so much hate. There was a lot of psychology and revelations I didn’t know about. Maybe I am the only one that didn’t know and all of you actually knew all that without the need to say it.

Anyways, I wanted to use this corner to thank all the great support from all this time. All donators as well, thank you very much!

Tomoe, Shiki and I were approached by the top class guests: the Limia King, Princess Lily, and Sairitz-san; they requested us for the teleport of both countries, Limia and Gritonia.

After that, won’t that leave the church people here? It seems the Aion people have already left the neighboring towns and headed towards Stella Fort after all.

‘We also used the teleport when assisting the Merchant Guild so it is already close to its limit’, is the total lie Tomoe said with an apologetic expression. The Limia King and Princess Lily lowered their heads, lined up words that can only be taken as threats, and requested for the teleport no matter the method needed.

Sairitz-san soothed the situation every now and then, but Tomoe evasively apologized. When those two changed their target to me, I seriously got scared.

As expected, when there’s their country at stake, their intensity is different.

It’s like, their grit.

Princess Lily looks slightly older than me, and yet, her aura was completely different from mine.

I don’t know if it’s their linage or their education, but they are incredible people.

Strangely, it was scary, but I didn’t feel that weakness I felt when I was dealing with Zara-san.

In a corner of my self, I still held composure and was able to ignore it.

(Waka, it is already enough. Please nod. You did well) (Tomoe)

Tomoe’s thought transmission.

At the moment I was thinking about throwing it back to Tomoe, she came and told me.

That’s a great help.

[Understood. This is an emergency situation, so it can’t be helped. Tomoe, can you do it?]

After a lot of pushing and pulling, I finally nodded.

It is something that I can do to begin with, and being unable to do it is Tomoe’s total lie.

Things will probably line up later.

“… Waka, it isn’t something impossible, and if you tell me to do it, this Tomoe will do so as you wish, but if one teleport is done, the sword won’t be able to handle another one” (Tomoe)

[What do you mean by that?]

“It will most likely break. And it will probably be impossible to repair. Is it really okay? To sacrifice this sword that has been supporting Kuzunoha Company until now?” (Tomoe)

I see…

Changing the teleport basis to a tool.

In other words, when the tool is broken, it will make the person believe that you will be unable to use it anymore.

I finally understood the true reason as to why they made such a pretext like placing the teleport power to a short katana.

So we will not be using teleport from now on? Or she already has another pretext to use teleport later on?

At any rate, I will follow the play of Tomoe.

[I don’t mind. This is a request from the people holding back the demon race in the war. If we are able to be of help, I want to cooperate. I don’t know if there’s a substitute for that sword, but if destiny so wishes, we will meet again]

“… Understood” (Tomoe)

With a face as if facing mental agony, Tomoe acts as if she is troubled, and she separates a bit from Limia King, Princess Lily, Sairitz-san, and Root who at some point in time was already beside those three.

Things like: ‘The distance to the capital is way too much’ and ‘If it’s the Empire, it will only reach until the town Robin which is close to the highway’ are the details she was creating.

After a while, Tomoe unsheathes the short katana, and while placing major emphasis, she opened a mist gate.

Limia’s King and the knight entered that gate and disappear. For some reason, the prince stayed.

After that, Princess Lily and several people that seem to be her close aides disappear inside a gate that was created separately. At this side, a number of people that looked like chamberlain stayed.

And then, the sword broke.

With a grim face, Tomoe falls on her knees.

What a nice act. That’s a fake sword right there.

Of course, I won’t be saying it.

The eyes of Sairitz-san, the prince, and the chamberlains showed slight signs of relief as they look at Tomoe.

Maybe it is relief that we won’t be able to use teleport anymore.

Well, we have the teleport ability and the power to fight against variants, so thinking about both of those points, it is probably a pretty scary thing.

I wanted to ask the bitter-faced Tomoe what’s with those feelings of hers as a bit of opposition, but I decided to just go to where she is and place a hand on her shoulder.

[Are you okay, Tomoe? I am sorry]

(Kukuku, those guys are getting relieved. Seriously, it is because they are so naive that the demon race is playing them like a fiddle. How stupid) (Tomoe)

It was a waste to even try to act worried.

In the end, she asked me to leave her alone for a while and I gave her the permission to. After that, we reached the courtyard where Tomoe separated from us.

When she said ‘alone’, she secretly told me in thought transmission that she will be in Asora, so Tomoe is in Asora right now.

And that’s why, if we teleport now, it would be bad.

“The battle’s outcome will hinge on how much power the heroes possess. Well, the demon race has already taken that into account, and that’s why they are aiming for a short decisive battle. As long as there’s no special situation occurring, the events will advance as the demon race planned” (Shiki)

“Is there a good hand we can play while we are in Rotsgard?” (Makoto)

“Yes. It may be bad for us to head there ourselves, but if it’s, for example, the winged-kin and the Gorgon who no one knows their connection with us; and there’s also the choice on sending the Arkes to provide support” (Shiki)
