Chapter 54-A sign of disaster and the last encampment

(TL:By Rafael,valhallatls.blogspot.com)

My uncle smiles at me, happy to see me and my friends again.

"You've been slowing down a lot, Yuki."(Saga)

"I've been swept up in this."(Yuki)

I point to my cheek and chuckle.

"Yuki was on the verge of becoming the Shadow Man, Shadow Stalker. What do you mean,  Saga-san?"(Marina)

"I see. Yuki...... turned over once?"(Saga)

"I don't really feel it, but maybe it's true. I was trapped in a different set of common sense and perceptions."(Yuki)

My uncle nodded and looked deep into the darkness.

I didn't notice it before, but I did now.

There is a hint of something disastrous at the end of my uncle's gaze.

It was as if I was looking at Rain  when I was inversed with a different perception, a feeling of disgust and rejection.

In addition, the urge to get rid of it welled up from the back of my mind, and I couldn't stop it.

"You see what I mean?"(Saga)

I nodded my head. It was all I could do.

"Even I understand a little ......."(Rain)

A trembling Rain squeezes my hand.

As I squeezed it back, I tried to understand what it was.

I had been swallowed by it once. I should be able to guess what it was because I had experienced it.

"It's no use, Yuke. I can't understand it. I should not. We are not compatible."(Rain)

"Uncle, what's up ahead ......!?"(Yuki)

The uncle, who had turned his attention back to us, opened his mouth with a small shrug.

"The Abyss Gate, what else?"(Saga)

I was a little puzzled by his answer.

The actual identity of the "Abyssal Gate" was not clear no matter how many times I had asked.

At best, Benwood's monstrous strength could not destroy it.

The logs of the investigation record do not contain any details, and I had taken for granted the uncertain information that it was a magical tool artifact,......, but it seems that this is not the case.

There is no way that something that gives off such a presence could be a magical tool artifact.

"Well, let's take a night's rest before we begin our attack."(Saga)

The uncle's words relaxed my shoulders a little.

I had thought that we were  going to head straight for the Abyss Gate.

But I am sure he was being kind to everyone who was tired.

"Then, let's make a camp at the deepest part of the "Colorless Darkness."(Yuki)

With a little airiness in my voice, I unfolded my camping gear and cooking utensils from my magic bag.

I'm concerned about the presence, but it's not every day you get the chance to camp in this location.

In the clear darkness, with the light shimmering like a sea of stars, we set up camp as we always do.

While my companions set up their tents on the mysterious floor and prepare the sleeping area, I begin to prepare the food.

I have some expensive meat that the people of Mastoma gave me, and I have plenty of other ingredients in abundance, so I'm ready to cook something a little more elaborate.

"Yuki has gotten good at cooking, hasn't he?"(Saga)

"It's the only thing I can do that my uncle can't beat me at."(Yuki)

With that kind of lighthearted banter, I proceeded to prepare the meal for our adventure.

Of course, I put the soup stock out by my side and let the soup boil.

"Yuki-san, I finished setting up the tent."(Silk)

"Ok, It will be a while before we can eat, so everyone go get cleaned up."(Yuki)

"Yes, Then I'm looking forward to it."(Silk)

I feel a prickle in my heart as Silk leaves with a smile on his face.

I was not in the mood for sentimentality.

'By the looks of it, you haven't told ...... the story, have you?"(Saga))

"I can't involve them in this."(Yuki)

"You're my nephew, but you don't know anything about women's hearts. Why don't you get them involved?"(Saga)

I almost said, "I understand that much," but I stopped.

In fact, I'm pretty sure it was my own decision.

From the shadows of the tent comes the sound of water and the voices of my companions.

Perhaps they are playing with some magical artifact that activates the "Create Water" function.

They are quite resolute in the deepest part of the labyrinth of the highest difficulty level.

Or perhaps this is what makes them so good.

"Love comes in different forms."(Yuki)

"You say that. Well, it's up to you what you do. Whatever you choose, I'll do what I have to do."(Saga)

"Me too, Uncle."(Yuki)

As I stir the contents of my stockpile of soup, I think about my friends who are currently out of sight.

I want their lives to continue happily in this world.

If I had a "single gold" in front of me now, I would surely wish for that.

King Vordan, the ruler of the Glad-Shii-Im, may have thought the same thing.

If there is a magic that can make everything come true, I understand the feeling of wanting to put my trust in it.

"Big brother."(Nibelung)

"What's wrong, Lun? Oh Lun-chan, you'll catch a cold if you don't wipe properly."(Yuki)

Nibelung, with her hair still a little wet, comes trotting up to me.

"I'm fine. It's neither cold nor hot here, and there's no wind."(Nibelung)

"That's true, but ....... So, what's up?"(Yuki)

"Can I ask you to take a look at 'Gopro-kun G' later?"(Nibelung)

The "Gopro-kun G" that was presented to me was a little damaged.

It did not move even when the start-up switch was pressed.

"When Lun and the others were jumped, it got trapped under . ......"(Nibelung)

"I see. This is probably repairable. I'll fix it later."(Yuki)

Nibelung's face shows  relief at my reply.

The "Gopro-kun" series is quite durable, but if you're unlucky, this can happen.

"I'm going to go get my sisters now."(Nibelung)

"Oh. Tell them to put on their clothes too."(Yuki)

Every time these girls are careless and defenseless about their good looks, but this time we have my uncle with us.

He was an excellent adventurer and my mentor, but he was also famous for his playboy attitude, so we have to be careful.

"Yuki. Do you doubt me?"(Saga)

"Having faith in you is one thing, this is  another."

I laugh lightly and proceeds to share more of our meal.

"Why is it that you're so popular and I'm not?"(Saga)

"Uncle, you were popular, weren't you?"(Yuki)

"I was?"(Saga)

Saga Ferdio is well known for his playboy ways.

Benwood said he always had a girl at his side.

"But none of them would follow me to the depths of hell."(Saga)

(TL: Damn good lines)

The words of my uncle, uttered in a small whisper, made my heart squeak like a new kind of  debuff magic.

TL Note- Uncle is getting sentimental and reader's are hoping for harem end. Let's  see what author has in store for us.
