As I moved to the eleventh level of the Homura Labyrinth and headed for the grassy area where we were to meet, the greenery around me told me that there was someone waiting for me.
The greenery around me told me that there was someone waiting for me: "Master Zinku is coming this way. You guys, get ready to move.
「「「「 yes 」」」」
As a half-Driad, I can hear the voices of the plants and trees if I am ...... very conscious, although there are some limitations.
It's not as bad as a pure-blooded driard, but it has inherited the power of the green.
How could I be behind in detection? ......
As the rumors go, their abilities are probably outstanding.
They closed the distance and approached each other until they could see each other.
And now that you're within range to explore in detail, you can carefully probe their feelings through ...... green.
It seems that my ...... thinking was wrong. Subconsciously, you've been overlaying his image with that of the king who raped your daughter.
Zinku-sama's mind was filled with tension and anxiety.
He could also sense the strong will to protect his master from the subordinates surrounding him.
The backgrounds of the four of them had been checked, of course.
All of them had been slaves, and all of them had been in a position to lose their lives at the mercy of Master Zinku.
All of them were people who had been slaves and had been in a position to lose their lives at the mercy of Master Zinku.
The truth or falsehood of the rumor is that ...... Jinku-sama has the right qualities to be a person who stands above others.
Are you the members of the Shiranui?
"Yes. Zinku-sama may not remember me, but it has been ...... a long time.
I've heard that he has a soft spot for his ...... relatives, especially his bloodless brother, so I added a few words to my greeting to suggest that we had met.
I'm sure he won't think of us as his relatives for not reaching out to him in his time of need, but I hope he'll let his guard down a bit.
"Mr. Kirik, may I know how Lord Artoo is doing?
"Of course. My lord has already lost his sight. His limbs are so paralyzed that he cannot even stand. Recently, he has been having seizures. ......
Master Zinku asked me about my lord's condition, so I will tell him in full.
Despite being in a position of overwhelming dominance, he took the time to listen intently, giving me a little nudge.
I understand. I can't promise any results, but we'll work to save Lord Arto's life. He was a kind brother, you know.
"Thank you very much!
I was too happy to believe his words.
The young lord seemed to have made an impression on him, but I didn't expect him to accept ...... me before I even asked him about my reward, or even ...... before that.
"Lord Kirik. It's a good idea to take a look at the following tips to make sure you're getting the most out of your trip.
"Yes. It is the consensus of all members except the lord. We can't offer you a price to match, but we will give you our bodies if you succeed in lifting the ...... spell.
We will tell you of our resolve to the Zinku-sama who insists.
We are poor, and we can't afford the reward for lifting the spell on our lord, but ...... we have no choice but to accept these conditions!
We will give you all the information we have, as well as the magical tools we possess, such as the Yuanwen. I also have half of the rare blood in my veins, so I can sell it as material .......
I could hear their confusion in Green's voice.
They were probably surprised at the low price.
Even so, ...... we must somehow demonstrate our value and get Master Zink's approval!
"Kirik, please don't treat yourself as material! I understand your value very well. Let's talk about that after Alto is saved.
With that in mind, I was desperately trying to sell myself, when I received a scolding from Master Zinku.
Apparently, he was unhappy with the fact that I was deciding on his reward without his lord's permission.
"Very well, sir. I apologize for my rude suggestion based on my shallow thinking. As Zinku-sama said, we should try to persuade the lord first.
It was impossible to persuade the lord, of course, but I followed Master Zinku's argument for the time being.
In this situation, what he says is absolute.
If we fail to persuade the lord later on, ...... we can leave the lord on our own and become his property.
After having our plea accepted, we talked with Master Zink about the recent developments.
Perhaps we were too relaxed after achieving our goal, but we talked too much.
When I told him about the disappearance in the labyrinth, I was surprised that he said he would move,......, but when I thought about it calmly, I could not help but understand.
I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's trying to find out what's going on.
These are the people who outsmarted the government and the guild. I'm sure there are transfer traps that Kirik and his team don't know about, and it's no surprise that the enemy will win if they stay on the run.
No. ...... Are you worried about us, by any chance?
"Kirik-san. I know this is a harsh request, but can you tell me everything you remember about the location of the transfer traps and the missing people?
"What?
I will inform the country and the guild of the information I have found out in confidence and ask them to work on ....... I'm sorry that Artoo is not here. But there is nothing else I can do.
I see.
I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
"Very well, sir. We came here with the intention of offering everything to Master Zinku. It's not a perfect map, but you can use this one.
He was certainly too sweet and kind to be so genuinely concerned about me, even though I didn't owe him anything.
I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.
I am relieved that you are just like my lord. Thank you.
I'm sure your daughter is happy in heaven.
I'm sure ...... will be very happy to see how gentle and grown up Zinku has become.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
