Chapter121，Part2: 2 - Heart Pounding Vacation ②

Chapter 121 Heart Pounding Vacation ②?

Part 2

“…… Neee, Sytry. It is about the situation outside……”

“Yes. I think it is very efficient to be able to test the performance of the three people together! As expected of Cry-san!”

With a shy smile, Sytry responded with a disarrayed answer.

Maybe her attitude is correct for an Alchemist, and her pursuit of efficiency is mind-boggling, but I think it is just too much.

“………… It may be their job, but…… What if they died?”

“? Etto………………”

It is true that a Hunter is always next to the death door, but our situation was a little different.

As Sytry was confused she thought for a few seconds, put a finger on her lips and tilted her head.

“Look for………… The next one?”

“It looks like you don’t understand what I meant……”

“Eh……? I-I am sorry. Umh…… By any chance, did you have any other use for it?”

“……”

I remove my gaze from Sytry who showed her unique sensitivity and looked at Liz, who was *gorogoro* lying and rolling around.

Clear, pale pink irises, looked up at me with curiosity. She was dressed in her usual combat outfit, and on her swinging legs, her 『Rise to Heaven (Highest Roots)』 which she always wear, shined a little bit.

“What? Looking at me so much………… Ah, do you want to pat my stomach? Hereee.”

.

Liz showed me her exposed, suntanned skin while tracing it with her fingertips…… I am not going to pat you.

I straightforwardly asked.

“…… You know, Liz, don’t you want to fight?”

“Mmmh………… Of course I want to fight? It is nice to lie down, but this makes my body grow dull.”

Then why ――

Liz laid down, lifted her head up a little, put it on my lap and laughed.

“But…… I will endure it. No violence, right? Aren’t I a good girl? Neee, aren’t I a good girl? A good girl, right?”

…… I see. I now remember what I said a few days ago.

No, I certainly prohibited violence. Training was prohibited.

But, you know,…… It was to enjoy your vacation ―― I invited Liz and the others because I wanted to travel with them, but half of the reason was also for them to be an escort.

“…… No, well, it is an exception when you are dealing with Monster, you know.”

“…… Eh?”

Liz stared in wonder.

My decision to prohibit violence, is in this case a prohibition to resort to violence when dealing against humans.

Or rather, what I wanted to prohibit was, to put it simply ―― Fighting. Don’t pick a fight with regular citizens, Hunters or your disciple, was what I said you know.

I truly want you to enjoy your vacation, and it is also true that I don’t want? you to do anything dangerous, but I don’t think it is fair to stay leisurely in the carriage when the group of escort you hired are being under attack and (probably) outnumbered.

Not only Liz, but Sytry also, was unusually looking at me with a blank look.

No, maybe I didn’t use enough words to say it, but if you use common sense…… Hmmm? Did Liz think I said to not resist even if she were attacked by Monsters? There’s no way I would. What kind of play is that?

Tino raised her head cautiously and kept staring at me. I put away my own flaws aside and said in a badass manner.

“Defeating Monsters isn’t violence. It is an extermination. Isn’t that right?”

As if to prove that my words were right, the carriage came to a stop and shook drastically. Liz’s eyes lit up.

“!! Cry-chan, I love you! I’m offfff!”

Maybe she had endured too much, she even forgot to take Tino with her before jumping out.

The carriage creaked loudly just from her movement, and it was then followed by a yell that wouldn’t lose to the swearing I heard so far.

“Hey, you fucking small fries! Stop taking it easy, get out! Just go protect the horses!”

“…… Cry-san, I am sorry. Looks like Onee-chan………… Had accumulated a lot of anger.”

The sound I heard coming from outside becomes much more intense than before. I am sure Liz is rampaging as much as she wants.

Sytry looked a little embarrassed. Weeell, it is also because I gave weird instructions……

“Ehm…… Can I also, see the situation outside? I may be able to get some materials…… As there are some materials that rarely appear without Cry-san being here.”

“Aaah, sure, of course. Go ahead.”

Sytry bowed and jumped out of the carriage with the same feelings as her Sister.

Well, now the outside will be quiet soon. When I yawned, I made eye contact with a pale Tino.

“Master, could it be that…… The real thing will begin from now on?”

“? No, there isn’t any real thing happening…… Right, Tino really should get some sleep soon. It will be terrible if something were to happen.”

“!? ……………… Yes……”

With a quivering voice, Tino closed her eyes while holding her knees.

Are you sure you want to be in that position? Apparently, Tino has a lot of reservations when she is with me.

There should have been something in my luggage that can cover her.

With the constant sounds of battle coming from outside as BGM, I put my hands on my luggage that was piled up in a corner.

However, what exactly are materials that rarely appear without me being here……?

In the end, Liz and the others didn’t return to the carriage until the sun had set and Sytry had decided on a good place to camp.
