Breakthrough with the Forbidden Master
Chapter 372: Left Behind
His name came up as he met people in the past and listened to stories about them afterwards.
"Kojiro... hey, Espi. Does Kojiro know about me...?"
I never met Kojiro before I was in the Empire.
Of course, they know that "Earth Ragan is the son of Hiro Ragan."
But as Noja knew, Kojiro wondered if I'd ever met him before.
"Yeah, I don't know Kojiro.I didn't tell you that.... "
"Oh, yeah."
"Well, you don't know Kojiro... because I didn't ask him so deeply... when oniichan disappeared and I returned to the Federation... I didn't ask him so deeply."
"... I see."
Without asking deeply, I just thought of the image of watching the espionage...
I haven't seen him in less than a day, but I still feel like I know him pretty well with my fists.
"But... in the meantime... Kojiro is the only one who knows about this settlement..."
"... what!?... maybe?"
It was a surprise.
You didn't even know about this settlement, did you, Kojiro?
"Since the end of the war, when Kojiro became the Warlord of Japone... however much private land it is, this is the territory of the Kingdom of Japone... because I am supposed to own it face-to-face..."
"I mean... Kojiro knows that elves live here..."
"Yeah, I bought the land, but Kojiro didn't ask for details.However, when Kojiro found out that I had bought the land... 'Oh, Miss Espi has become the landlord of Japone... and I have to tell nobody to enter so that I don't lose my mood'... I'm not talking about elves.But I think it's probably about Kojiro, so I'm going to check it out... but I won't tell you. "
"I mean... I know, but you're not going after me?"
"Yeah."
I was told... it's strange, but when I heard what I was saying, I thought it was "Kojiro."
Somehow, I was somehow convinced that he might be like that.
"But in any case, we might meet with Kojiro soon...."
"Huh? Really?"
"Yes. Investigation of the ruins of Noja and Benlinerf… They may come to the continent, and they may look like cozillos on a boulder…"
"I see...."
In other words, even if it means something different from Uncle Ben's, there might be something else...
"About Noja... Uncle Ben, Kojiro... and Citenai?I'm starting to get confused. "
You're really messing things up.
That's right.
"Come back and get involved quickly, or you'll be a driftstone oniisan."
"Sure."
"Oniisan is such a person...."
The spies nodded bitterly at the words I snapped while holding my head.
And....
"Ah, um, Mr. Earth! It's time to talk, okay?Don't leave me alone... don't leave me alone! "
"... hmm?"
"" "Ah..." "
And I forgot. Another problem I've had.
Just now, Amix, whose face turned red, but she felt uncomfortable, watched the timing and pulled the sleeves of my clothes with her fingers.
"Um, amix...."
"But, I'm sorry, I thought it might be an important story... but, um, it's not just time to talk about it, but I was wondering if you could show us our settlement... or see my favorite place..."
"Ah... um... amix..."
"Ha, yes! Master Earth!"
"No, why are you suddenly wearing a" sama "... a friend?"
"Damn, there's no extinction!I mean, Earth is my hero and Elf's benefactor, but he can't get used to it!That's why I'm doing everything I can... do anything! "
"That's why I said that! Look, I'm watching your father too!"
"Uh-huh... that's right... Dad... amix... maybe today... for an adult girl..."
"Ah, come on! Anyway, no honoring, I don't like it, I hate it, it's weird!"
It was Amix who knew a lot about who I was and changed his attitude, but it's not good to be called "like" in front of Espi, Slaya, Ralwyev, and the chief who values Amix with boulders.
"Mr. Earth... don't you like it?Master Earth..... "
"So go first! Stand up!"
No, on the contrary, it's like Amix poking his knees at me and holding me down with his eyes shining like he's praying to me... it feels like he's no longer worshipped!?
"Hah... anyway, oniichan... let's take some time off today, enjoy the evening with everyone, and think about it again tomorrow."
And did Espi give up already? I interrupted the conversation and smiled bitterly.
"That's better, oniisan.And Amix... also hates oniisan... "
Bad manners in a way, amix.
"You know, amix... don't do that in front of your father."
Sure, I've been confused about more stories, and I think it's just right to separate them.
Besides, I don't know... Amix, I haven't listened to anybody else at all... I'm sure this may not be good...
"Phew... child..."
Hmm? Traina, what's wrong?
And then, Traina was by my side.....
Don't overframe tonight's banquet.I have a proper training at the Vyar. "
You mean in this situation!?I got a little bit of a kick in my ass when it came to training without any premise.
Um, are you going to do it again today?
Not today, is it?When I heard back, Traina stared at Guillotine and me....
Of course! You will now engage Noja under certain circumstances!?Unlike the old days, what if Noja really came without any mercy?All I know is Noja, a dozen years ago, and what if he's stronger than he used to be!No matter how helpful Espi and Slaya are, it would be a big mistake to think it would be an easy win! "
"Ah... that's right..."
Hmm! That's why it's time to train! Well, as expected, if there's Espi, Slayer and the others... it's harder to train, so I'll train hard at night to make up for the delay! I see!
Oh oh......
Trainer's orders without saying anything.
Well, it's true that the opponent is a Rokkai Noja, and we need to put in place a proper countermeasure.
The same hand will never work again, and I know what Traina says.
Besides, I think it would be good for both of you... to watch the timing and tell me about Trainer... because we will continue to act together with Espi and Slaya and train without worrying about the public.
But the only thing that bothers me...
Traina....
Don't you feel a bit stubborn?
Your cheeks are twitching....
