Episode 311: I Can Go Home (Sho)

"So _________, I became an SSS Ranker at 31! Gahahaha! This was 20 years ago!

"Heh... heh, really?"

"Wow... that's amazing..."

Pretty busy old man... according to Mr. Thor, me and Lil are getting in the carriage.

This Mr. Tor carriage...... To be precise, the goat cart is made by two rare goat demons: Tangrini and Tangnosto. That's what I'm most proud of.

Anything, on running a few times faster than a regular carriage horse, they say if you eat meat, even bones and skins will come back to life.

And the Myolnil I used to get - I was also bragged about a weapon like I've heard of somewhere.

"Hey... and... was it, uh, a shishaw? You."

"... it's a show"

"Right, Sishaw. Dark-haired, dark-eyed is unusual!

"... it's a show"

Shishaw. Shishaw.

There's no point in correcting this guy.

"Hey... brunette, brunette... No, those guys had dark hair and dark eyes too... Am I in a good shape to meet a brunette, brunette? Gahahahahaha!"

"What...!?

... those guys?

Besides me, I have dark hair, dark eyes... and that's you and Cherry Blossom...! Okay, let me ask you something, this old man would know something haz... he's an SSS ranker!

I have a clue like this unexpectedly...!

"Uh... Mr. Thor"

"What? Sishaw."

"Well... the brunettes... maybe two boys and girls about 14..."

Thor stares at me with a surprised face for a moment.

Next to me, Lil looks surprised in a different way than Mr. Thor.

"Oh, yeah. You know him in the city?

"No, not once in the city. But I know. Those two know me too, Haz..."

"Oh... well, wait a minute!

With that said, Mr. Thor meditated his eyes out.

He's the one we all focus on when we want to talk.

In the meantime, Lil's been talking to me.

"Hey... your husband. The two your husband was looking for... is that it?

"Oh, I think that's a good chance."

"Wahhhhhh... well, good for you, sir. You can go home."

Good for you... I said, the look on Lil's face looks so lonely.... You're right... the odds that I could find those two have gone home have gone up.

What about the safety of the two of us?

As far as this guy's concerned - it doesn't look like he's in terrible shape...

That would put an end to this... relationship with Lil, and I would have to say goodbye.

"... hey, lil"

"What, your husband...?

"Tomorrow... the day after tomorrow, or are we going somewhere together? Tourist attractions... you can just walk in the city."

"Wahoo... nice. Sounds like a lover... eheh"

Lil clung softly to my arm as he said so, wondering why I had mentioned such a thing.

A large, soft mass is pressed.

But your ears are patterned... you're a shobourne...

Can I stroke your head at times like this...?

That's good... maybe.

As I stroked Lil's head, Lil pinned his ears and smiled nicely and looked at this one. Lovely.

Take me to Earth like this... I feel like I have too many problems and I can't do it in the first place. Damn right.

"I'm sorry... I didn't hear from you. He's asleep... he's focused on something else."

That's what Mr. Thor says. He opens his eyes and talks to me. Meanwhile, we're flirting... something embarrassing about this.

"Oh... those guys were good friends, like you guys. Most of all... Sakura Tsuko was more blind, so I guess that's what he did... Gahahaha! Whatever, I hope you're young! Gahahahahahahahaha!"

Sakura's name came up... and she's blind.

No, I was dropping my glasses when they called me here, and I guess I would if I thought about it.

I knew it... right.

Besides, I was somewhere in the city now.

I need to see you soon...

"Cherry blossoms... right? I knew it."

"Right... I knew it. Where were those two addresses...?... the most expensive loaner in a luxury residential area."

"Oh... is that right? Thank you."

Vague but much more important information.

The most expensive lodging in a luxury residential neighborhood... huh.

"Oh, don't get there in about an hour. You should see him when you get there! Gahahahahahahahaha! I have to report to my client! Well, even with the client, it's this country itself! Gahahahahahahahahaha!"

Then I really got to the city in exactly an hour.

I broke up with Mr. Thor at the carriage stop because I had to make various reports.

He was a fancy guy from start to finish.

"Wow... are you going to see those two first?

"I'm worried about the two of you. But it looks like you were taking something in earlier, right? It's noon now... it's evening to see you. I've got a lot to do before that."

"Okay, your husband!

That's why we first headed to the inn where we were staying.
