Chapter 45-Decisions and Temporary Farewells

 

(TL:By Rafael)

 

 

I turn my head, ruminating on Lucent's words.

 

 

 

 To come to a conclusion now on what to do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 "Perhaps, by destroying that "one gold", this labyrinth will end."(Moriah)

 

 

 

 That is what was expected based on the knowledge gained from the "Great Book of the Dead."

 

 

 

 I agree with Moriah, the wise man, on that point.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 If this, the source of everything, were to disappear, the magic that makes up the distorted "Glad Shi-Im" would dissipate, and this labyrinth itself would either disappear or become powerless.

 

 

 

 And we can understand that this moment ...... is the most suitable timing for that.

 

 

 

"If you destroy it, it's over, isn't it?"(Marona)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Marona, who had rushed in with Lucent, nodded her head.

 

 

 

'Yes, but something is bothering me. I'm searching within myself right now to find out what it is. ......"(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 What is this strange feeling?

 

 

 

 There is a feeling in my chest that I am not finished yet, and it is clouding my judgment with its hazy weight.

 

 

 

"Well, I'm going to go leave the rest to you Mr. Yuki"(Moriah)

 

"What is the reason for your decision, Master Moriah?"(Lucent)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Lucent returns the question to the old wizard who proceeds to speak.

 

 

 

 Nodding in reply, Moriah raised his index finger and opened his mouth.

 

 

 

"First of all, we cannot destroy it. Only a good red mage, Mister Yuki, can do it."(Moriah)

 

"Is that so? Red Mages can do all kinds of things, can't they?"(Lucent)

 

"Next, our goal is to rescue the girl and return her home. It's third-rate to be greedy for all things."(Moriah)

 

"That hurts my ears."(Lucent)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Lucent shakes his head lightly and lets out a sigh.

 

 

 

:But it would be folly to let this opportunity pass us by. So, I've come up with a compromise. We'll escort Lun back to the hotel and leave it up to Yuki to decide whether or not to destroy it."(Moriah)

 

"I see. If he is the only one who can do it, then there is no need for us to stay here and watch over him."(Lucent)

 

"I understand what you're saying, but are you sure you won't turn into a monster?"(Marona)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Marona gives me a concerned look.

 

 

 

 It was right after we took care of the "Full Bound," which had turned into a demon of the setting sun. I understand your concern.

 

 

 

"I'll be fine. It's because I put the ring on it."(Yuki)

 

"Then, let's leave with Lun-chan  and the others."(Marona)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Lun shakes her head in a small way as she is approached.

 

 

 

"No."(Lun)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 With a clear statement of intent, Lun turns to us.

 

 

 

" We're going to break that thing, right?"(Lun)

 

 

 

 

 Lun points to the shimmering light of the "One Gold.

 

 

 

"If so, Lun will help you. But it's better if it's just you and me."(Lun)

 

"What do you mean?"(Moriah)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Moriah's eyes are filled with the light of a thirst for knowledge.

 

 

 

 He is the kind of person who, even at his age, continues to be an adventurer in his quest for knowledge, and I can't blame him.

 

 

 

"Lun is a 'golden priestess,' so I don't mind touching that thing. I and brother will probably be fine ......, but the others will probably be bathed in twilight and dyed by the "slanting sun. So, no."(Lun)

 

"Is it safe for Mister Yuki? Why ?"(Moriah)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Lun is silent at the question and looks back at me.

 

 

 

 She is a bright girl, even at a young age.

 

 

 

"If the "Golden Priestess Nibelung" says it's all right, then it must be. Besides, the less damage we do if something goes wrong, the better."(Yuki)

 

"Yuki!"(Marina)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Marina raises her voice sharply at my words.

 

 

 

" What you just said is not what I want to hear."(Silk)

 

"That's right. You are getting into your old bad habits here."(Rain)

 

"It's a figure of speech. I do not intend to be a martyr for self-sacrifice."(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 He makes this excuse, but the eyes of the three girls are skeptical.

 

 

 

"Can't you do something about it? Lun."(Rain)

 

"I don't think so. My brother is special. You know ......, don't you?"(Lun)

 

"Yeah, right."(Rain)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Rain turns to me with a troubled smile.

 

 

 

"Then I have no choice. I'll ...... go back first and wait for you. Bring her back to me, okay?"(Rain)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I nodded, lightly hugging Rain back who dared to give me a hug even though we were in front of many people.

 

"I'll get the job done. There's not a lot of things only I can do."(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 There are things that only Yuki Ferdio, a red mage of limited dexterity, can do.

 

 

 

 If it is a major crisis such as "elimination," this is an opportunity for the adventurer to be in a better position to take advantage of it.

 

 

 

"What a pity, Then, I have no choice but to agree with you."(Marina)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I lightly pat Marina's head as she hugs me.

 

 

 

"You don't have to be so anxious, I've been through a lot."(Yuki)

 

"That's not what we meant."(Silk)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Silk touches her forehead to my shoulder with a small sigh.

 

 

 

 Even Silk, who is supposed to have a lot of self-control, does this. Maybe I'm worrying her too much than I thought.

 

 

 

"I have nowhere else to hug you, so I'm going home and waiting for you. When you get back, I'm going to ask for 30 seconds of Nene time."(Nene)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 As she say this, Nene laughs lightly, her ears twitching, and I nod in return.

 

 

 

 I had never heard of "nene time," but I understood what she was trying to say.

 

 

 

"They love him. They are so close."(Lucent)

 

"This is also the quality of a "brave" person, isn't it?"(Moriah)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Moriah seems to have slipped up, but once "Glad Si-Im" is destroyed, I will be rid of such an undeserved title.

 

 

 

"Well then, Mr. Lucent, Please lead them back home."(Yuki)

 

"I know what you're talking about. Before entering the underground canal, I'll crack open the [shaking walnut] and let you know."(Lucent)

 

"Thank you very much. Let me buy you a drink when I get back."(Yuki)

 

"Hmph. ....... Prepare yourself for some expensive booze, okay?"(Lucent)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I turns to my friends with a small bow to Lucent, who is fishing the corners of his mouth.

 

 

 

"I'll be home soon. Get the banquet ready and wait for me."(Yuki)

 

"See you later."(Marina)

 

"Absolutely, okay?"(Rain)

 

"You can't be too hard on yourself, okay?"(Silk)

 

"I believe in you, Yuki-san"(Nene)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I nod to Lun as I watch my regretful friends leave the King's Chamber with "Skordia" and "Carmine".

 

 

 

 Perhaps if I were alone with Lun, he would show himself.

 

 

 

 With this confidence, I turn around and ...... see the one I expected to appear sitting on the scorched throne.

 

 

 

'At last, You have come this far,'   Master Yuki Felrdio."(???)
