Chapter 260 – Shock
Do people float? And the strange thing is that it doesn’t feel like magic.
By learning Magical Breathing, I had become sensitive to the magic in the atmosphere and the magic used by opponents, but at this time I didn’t feel anything.
She was floating, like a winged person would float in the sky.
“Hey, what’s going on? Slayer. Why are you here? What’s your business?”“Is there a problem?”
“Hmm. Oh, that’s okay. I’m not here for you.”
Looks like an acquaintance of Slayer’s. In any case, no matter how you look at it, this woman is no ordinary person.
Come to think of it, Tre’ainar seemed to know her too, but…
“Hello, big brother who makes his little sister cry♪.”
“Huh?”
“Ufufuu, ufufuu, ufufuu~”The woman suddenly looked at me and smiled.
No, no, brother? What the hell is this…
“You… who are you?”
“Huh~…… pisses me off ~…… that you don’t know me…”
When I asked, she sighed and scowled. No, no, I don’t know you.
Well, Slayer said something like that.
Why is it that in the last few days I keep meeting people who are so smug that they think everyone knows them――――
“Look, he doesn’t know you. Why don’t you go away, you who have a big title but are unknown to the current generation? Espie”
“How about you, carelessly running an equipment shop instead of hunting down bounties like Hakuki, who has been on the run for over ten years? Slayer.”
『That one… she looked different, but… that face … one of the Seven Heroes, ‘Espie’!?』
The woman seemed to be on bad terms with Slayer… Hmm? Tre’ainar? What was that just now?
“Uh, Es… pie…… Eh? S, Seven Heroes…!?”
“Ufufufufu, surprised surprised ♪, but don’t you remember?”
“Huh!?”
“Well, the last time I saw you… you were still going Uwaa-uwaa… and I didn’t really get to hold you that much.”
“No, way… y, you’re…?”
“Ufufufu, how nostalgic~. When I was allowed to hold you, Sadiz said, ‘Yes, it’s been ten seconds. It’s over. The time for you to hold Little man is over. Only Sadiz may hold him for a long time.’. and you were immediately taken away ♪.”
It doesn’t seem to be a lie… this woman… she knows me.
It’s what Tre’ainar said, so is it really true?
The real……
“Espie of the Seven Heroes… what do you mean? What do you want with me?”
And if this woman is really one of the Seven Heroes, then I can’t just stand around in a daze.
I braced myself hastily.
“Oh?”
“You said you found me… were you looking for me? Did my father send you? What are you going to do?”
Well, if this woman was an old friend of my parents, let alone looking for me, I can imagine that she came to bring me back.
However, contrary to my expectations, Espie sighed with a wry smile …
“No~. it has nothing to do with Hiro or Mamu. I’ve come to give you a scolding and a beating.”
“What?”
“The worst man who makes his sister cry.”
“…… Huh?”
Make my sister cry? What? What?
When she says “sister”, the first thing that came to mind was… Amae……
“I don’t really care, but I was here first. Can’t you wait until later? Espie”
Then, between the bewildered me and the smiling Espie, a sullen Slayer came in, again for some reason I don’t understand.
“Oh, sorry, but it’s ladies first, isn’t it, Slayer! Do you want me to beat you up~?”
“Heh, you? Me? You want to try that? Even though you’re a selfish and bitter woman.”
“Huh? Selfish? You are just the same, aren’t you?”
“I lose to you in that.”
I mean, what’s the relationship between these guys?
A touch-and-go situation?
Somehow, the air has changed and it hurts.
Hmm? Speaking of which…… Espie and this Slayer…
『Hmm… all I know is that… Slayer, who was once a boy genius Hunter, was defeated and captured by Norja, but was saved by Espie…』
Yes, I heard such a connection at the equipment shop.
But it looks like there’s more to it…
“Anyway, the young man and I are going to curry now. Would you mind getting out of the way?”
“…… Curry? …… Curry!? I want to eat, I want some!”
Hmm? What? Slayer’s words changed the situation again… Espie suddenly changed from a touch-and-go mood to one of excitement…
“Ah, then I’ll help you make Curry, so why don’t I just beat you up afterwards?”
“Um, I guess that’s okay, right?”
“Good, well, that’s right…um… I have something I want to give you.”
Nooot goood! Why are you doing this!?
Why is curry such a priority? What’s more, are you going to beat me up after I make curry? I don’t think so!
“Hey, wait a minute, you! If you’d just shut up and listen to me, what the heck is going on! I mean, what is one of the Seven Heroes even doing here?! Is Amae the sister who I made cry?! If that’s the case, we’ve already settled it. We’ve already made up and she even kissed me on the cheek!”
“…… Hmm?”
“I wouldn’t leave my little sister crying! Or what is it? I don’t know what’s going on, but I’ve heard rumors that you’re like a sister to my parents! Aren’t you just complicating things for some reason? Aargh?”
“…………”
“To start with, the shopkeeper there also suddenly shows up, blabbering on and on with a blank expression on his face about …… how much he loves curry!”
“……… unh…”
As it turned out, even though I was also a party, I was pushed beyond the limit of frustration at the two of them talking on their own and leaving me out of the loop, I couldn’t help but scream.
Then they looked at each other…
“Hmm~, he got mad because of Slayer.”
“You made him angry, you know?”
“You’re both to blame, damn it! You guys are so annoying!!”
They were shoving the blame on each other, so I yelled at them again.
And then……
“Hey, do you have a ‘Master Key’?”
“Eh!?”
“Oh, you do~, that’s perfect then. With this… my wish will soon come true… then, yeah… that’s good…”
Espie’s sudden question shocked me.
Espie, who sensed my state without hearing the answer, grinned even more…
『This one … what?』
Tre’ainar also glared at Espie with sharp eyes, unable to understand her true intentions.
Yeah, it’s not like I understand it either.
Everything about this woman.
Then, Espie and Slayer nodded at each other…
“Well, I guess I should apologize for now. I’m sorry, did my ‘boyfriend’ bother you?”
“Apologies. My ‘girlfriend’ made you feel uncomfortable.”
…………? …… Huh!?
“Buboh!?”
『What!?』
Somehow, the conversation just got even more amazing.
Author’s Note
Today is May 1st. It feels like 2020 is flying by, but this period of self-discipline seems to have been going on for a long time, so I’m going crazy in various ways. In fact, my main job, teleworking, has been extended until the end of May, and lately, I have stopped going out for no reason, and I have refrained from dancing naked. Anyway, please take care of yourself.
