Book 5: Chapter 5
「I’m so glaaaaaad~, Bochaaaaaan… Ugugu, Ugu~」
Due to the commotion I caused, a large bouncer-like man appeared from the back of the guild and kicked both Zerry-san and I out of the guild. We were sitting at the road side of a back alley, and Zerry-san was rubbing her tear-streaked, runny nose face on me. My cloak got even more dirty.
Because of my iron claws, Zerry-san had five red finger marks on either side of her face. But seeing that her happiness outweighed the pain… makes me happy, after all. My nose became a little stuffy too.
「Tell me, Zerry-san. Why are you here?」
I wiped her wet face with my handkerchief. But even more snot dripped out of Zerry-san’s nose. To think a grown woman could cry like this…
「I-I was actually in the Lev Empire until we made a magic tool which told us that bochan was still alive…」
…It is truly amazing that they were able to create a magic tool that could determine if I was alive. I am glad I didn’t remove the bracelet from the Lev Magic Empire.
「After finding out that you were alive, I knew that you would come back somehow.」
It seems that she wanted to do something to contribute. The red crack in the sky was now called “Red Gate”. And the “Black Sky Pirate” – Lark – has been fighting the monsters to maintain the front line, but there have been no significant developments as of yet.
