Master’s Smile

Lesson 28: Mahoe's Cry

"Shh... Shh..."

... After all, did you fall asleep tired?

I grinned bitterly and stroked Laradi's head clinging to her body and resting.

"Hehe..."

What the hell are you dreaming about?

Drop who, he has a very sloppy face.

Me and Laradi were sitting a little further away from where the Yuts were sleeping as watchmen.

Laradi fell asleep early, but nothing in particular is going to happen, so let her sleep.

- Oh, my God, the gutter and the nearby bushes rock.

Well, I know it's not a demon or a bandit trying to harm us, so I won't panic.

What's wrong, Mahoe?

"Huh!?

When I speak, the shaking noise of the bushes grows even louder.

Some time after it was quiet, the mahogany appeared as I had noticed from the bushes.

"... how did you know?

I don't know.

Properly so, but of course he understood the signs.

Not really, the ability of such a combat system is lower than that of its members, but if it's a sign of an immature kid like Mahoe, it's easy to discern.

If she grows more, she won't know.

So, what's wrong?

"Hey, I wanted to talk to you."

Talk?

When I ask back, I snort mahogany.

Hmmm...... well, don't stand there like that anyway, you should come close.

It's small, but it's burning.

"Yeah......"

Maho approached me with Totetote and sat down two minutes away from me and my body.

... It would be more dangerous not to be alert to me if I were alert, but not for a day after seeing you the other way around.

"Oh, Laradie, are you asleep?

Yeah, I knew you were tired.

"Hmm. Something, this kid, had a scary vibe, but you sound like a normal kid when you're asleep"

Peek into Laradi's sleeping face with a mahogany smile.

Ooh... after all, the mahogany seems sharp.

It would be easier if you were a simple person, like Longman, to fool me easily.

Did Laradi feel her gaze, crunching her face and making her look grumpy?

If he kills his mahogany in his sleep, he can't wait to stroke his fluffy hair and get in a good mood.

Then he returned to his sloppy face to rest in peace.

Phew... you just talk to Mahoe and you risk your life. The mahogany.

"Well... first of all, thank you. Thank you for helping me."

Mahoe comes down with a peppery head.

No, that's fine. I've already received my thanks properly once, and I hope you don't mind.

Basically, me and Laradi were protected, and there's nothing wrong with the goblin.

Still, he's a disciplined kid.

At first, I thought she seemed heartless and careless, but she's well-mannered and stuff.

"So, um... I need to ask you something."

What do you want to hear?

"A master is a scholar, isn't he? Think I know things I don't, things I know..."

Oh, oh... that was the setting.

Well, I think you're more knowledgeable than the rest of us because you've lived long for nothing.

Not really, though I might not be able to answer it if they ask me something professional.

"The... way to go to another world... I think there is...?

... Huh?

I turn a surprise to the mahogany I've heard in such horror. [M]

Different worlds? No way, I didn't expect it to pop out of Mahoe's mouth, and I ate a little of it on the face.

"Ah! It's okay. I knew it, okay."

As I tried to open my mouth to answer, Mahoe hurriedly waved and stopped.

Is that it? You don't have to answer.

Could it have been because you saw my surprised face that you decided you didn't know anything?

For once, I have it as knowledge.

"You know, why did I ask you this, I'm not from this world?"

Heh.

"Hehe, surprised? Well, I'm surprised, too. I never thought there would be two worlds."

Mahoe smiled strangely and looked away.

... Could it be that you didn't want to come to this world?

"That's not true!!

As soon as he heard my words, Mahoe stood up and yelled out loud.

Wow! Laradi's gonna wake up!

I panicked and put my hand on Laradi's ear to keep her awake.

"Hmmm......" but no sign of waking up.

... Huh. It was dangerous. I could almost get Mahoe's body...

"Oh, I'm sorry..."

When I tell her I'm going to be quiet with gestures, she sits back, Maho.

No, because I seem to have heard something bad, too. Let's go with your son.

"... I've never wanted to come to a world like this. All of a sudden, you're telling me to fight the Demon King's Army because I'm brought into such a dangerous world and I can use a little magic? I'm kidding...!

While his voice was still still, there was endlessly loud anger in it.

Well, well.

As far as Mahoe's concerned, he told you to risk your life fighting for people you don't know if you think you've been abducted.

That, too, is the opponent's powerful Demon King Army.

Although I'm glad Mahoe had power, if a child without any power was put into a brave party, would he die without holding it for three days?

Even I would gladly give my life to protect the members of the Army of Salvation (Yerkthilla), but I would not accept it if they told me to risk my life for people I didn't know.

Mary's the only one who can help you fight? Well, that's helpful, but it's not weird that only one person would give me help......!!

As far as the mahogany is concerned, is Mary the only one who lives in this world like us, and Maho and Yut and Longman come from different worlds?

Heh. Regardless of Yut or Maho, I just thought Longman was from this side of the world.

Still, the kingdom that summoned the Mahoes is terrible.

Are you really willing to beat the Demon King Army...?

"The others are crazy, too. Looks like Longman is already deciding to live in this world, and Yut is too kind of you. Don't you all want to go back to your original world? Am I the only one who thinks...?

Finally, the mahogany zeroes out its big eyes and tears.

Ugh... what am I supposed to do?

Can we always do what members of the Army of Salvation (Yerkchilla) do when they are depressed?

You can't leave the mahogany crying hard and close forever.

"Ah..."

Nevertheless, I don't quite understand how Mahoe feels, and you shouldn't be in tune with her as I found out.

So I gently stroked Mahoe's head and smiled.

It is a deception.

The mahogany looked up at my face and patted my eyes.

The... cheer up.

"Pfft... hehe..."

After doing so for a while, Mahoe accidentally swelled his cheeks and laughed out.

Yep... Where's the laughing element...?

"You've come to thank me, and you've become a fool. But thanks for asking. It's okay now."

Maho grabbed my hand and gently pulled out of his head.

Well, if you're feeling better, I'm glad.

... And yet, how long have you been touching my hand?

"Beh, that doesn't mean anything."

When I ask, I panic and let go of my hand, Maho.

He is holding the hand of the person who was touching my hand in his chest, covered with one hand.

"Well, then, I'm going to bed now. Good luck with the lookout."

Yeah, good night.

And Maho departed from me, and went back to the place where Yut and his people were asleep.
