Yomigaeri no Maou

Episode 258: Secrets

"No, I didn't know, unexpectedly or unexpectedly, that there were frequent meetings like this. It was a good harvest."

"Right...... I once heard that the investigators were voluntarily doing something like debriefing here, in Teram Nadia, and I've seen the report, but when I actually attended, the paperwork was often the only thing I didn't know. It's actually interesting to talk to the investigators."

That is what we are discussing are the executives of the Northern Adventurers' Union (Guild) who attended the meeting.

Similar conversations were held here, and investigators who finished the announcement were under question-attack.

All the announcements made today will be reported to Headquarters as documents and the executives will be able to see through them, but after all, it seems unlike actually attending and just reading the documents.

Of course I'm asked on the spot what bothered me, but other than that, the information the investigators had was more extensive than they thought, and it seemed to be beneficial to me a lot.

The investigators also announced that it was itself going with terrible tension, but they seemed pleased that they had been given the opportunity to have a direct conversation with the headquarters executives.

All in all, today's meeting will mean a success.

"... have you managed?"

Rand is poking around with a sneaky look beside Paula.

Ultimately he was able to make a solid announcement, but he still seemed quite nervous, and now that he's released, tiredness seems to be attacking him more and more.

"Yes, you're tired. Well. That was a good announcement. Mr. Moitz and Mr. Ivan have been listening with interest."

to Paula's words. Rand looked up as surprised,

"Ho, is that true...? No, that would be great. I didn't care if they thought I was bored..."

I can see some hearing seats from the top of the stage, and you should know how they react, but apparently they weren't paying that much attention.

Rand looked relieved and now he seemed really relaxed.

Then Rand thinks a little and then asks Paula.

"But... how did this really happen?

As far as he is concerned, he really cares about that point, which is a serious look.

Even as Paula, I have nothing to hide, and I honestly explained the “Become Yuki” that I've had.

I met Ivan and Moitz, and Lulu and the others, until I got here, about yesterday's drinking party.

Rand, who has heard it all,

"... that was something interesting again."

and shrugged.

He was also well aware that something called coincidence existed in the world and that it sometimes creates strange encounters, but nevertheless he seemed to feel emotional that it would ultimately make this meeting so important.

That Paula agreed with.

And, uh, I also felt like something was starting.

It was a flash, a feeling that I couldn't grasp right away, but it was something, something that excited my heart, something like that.

So, not that Paula tells Rand.

"Yeah. You're right...... then, I, uh, decided to flourish at HQ. Nice to see you again."

To the words, Rand was surprised.

"Hey, what...? No, I think Paula is a good investigator, so I don't think she has a problem with her abilities... come on, that's sudden, huh?

Rand was originally an intelligence investigator working at headquarters.

That's why he was chosen as the first presenter.

I mean, it's going to be the same workplace as Paula.

Paula tells Rand.

"That's a lot of things... but I'm sure it's going to be fun. Wow. It's been fun..."

Seeing Paula say that in a meaningful way, Rand has thought about it too.

But I guess not saying what it means is something I can't say, and I don't ask particularly deeply.

Nor did Paula tell Rand about Lulu's request.

Because it was a confidential story.

If necessary, you'll soon be told by Ivan and Moitz to the Investigation Division at headquarters, and that's not what you're saying right now.

We both knew that.

For that reason, Paula finished talking about the circumstances of the glory there, but, uh, Paula remembered and asked Rand.

"If you say so..."

"What?

"Yesterday, among the people I swallowed with, there was a kid named Moitz, you know?

"Moitz? Isn't that Moitz?

"Yeah, because he was a tribal (human) boy who didn't look alike. He seems to be from an adventurer's union or something."

"Hmm... you don't know... no, with that being said, I think there was a day the other day when a female employee was strangely noisy, is that...?

Rand shook his head once, but he thought a little and remembered, and he answered yes.

I don't know about Paula, but I say it might be.

"He was a beautiful boy with a strange atmosphere, so I don't know what it's like to make a scene. But wow. I knew you were there. But then today, I wish you'd come. No."

Paula thought about it.

I thought Ivan was going to ask me out, and that Moitz boy was going to be among them.

But apparently he hasn't come.

Well, not to say young, he's the kind of person who's going to head to the Northern Adventurers' Union headquarters.

I've been busy with a lot of things, and it's likely that I couldn't come even if I wanted to come on business.

It was just Paula who for some reason was feeling very sorry for herself.

"I wish I could see you again..."

"Mm...?

It is Rand who sensed that there was an atmosphere on the side of Paula, who shrugged, that he did not always feel.

But I never went into that detail.

I don't get too into it and get noticed the budding of little feelings I haven't noticed.

Just a little bit, because I thought so.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"... you're really going..."

It was Paula who murmured in a smudged tone as she looked up at a line of carriages of caravans gathering at the Teram Nadia entrance.

Her staring caravan belonged to the merchants who came and went between Leonard and Lugung, the legend of Rava.

Even though Leonard and Lugung are not very close, there are materials that are only available in Leonard, and vice versa.

There was no way to completely cut off interaction, and thus a limited number of merchants came and went while buying or selling such materials as they said.

He was a caravan who came about a week after he drew up his immigration plan to Lugung, but he said this was more of an early one.

Originally a small number. I would have been satisfied if they had told me that the number of people who come and go with Leonard was even lower now due to domestic circumstances in Lugung.

On this occasion, besides Lulu and Rava and Paula, have you come to see me off, Moitz and Ivan, and Adler and Mireille.

I thought Adler, the head of the Western union (West Master), and his assistant, Mireille, would be there with me until exactly the middle of nowhere, but they can't do that.

Because it could be seen as extremely suspicious that one of the Quartet union leaders is mixed up in a caravan heading to Lugung, he said.

Even with regular caravans, I can say that's because I happen to have borrowed a leg, but this time I feel guilty.

It was a decision that circumstances that could be suspected of being spies should be ruled out as far as possible.

For a similar reason, the carriages and biceps that Lulu and the others usually use have to be left in Teram Nadia.

The carriage is also specially ordered, because it is odd that there is such a thing in the common caravan, where even being a rare creature leads to a double-headed dragon.

Of course, I'll be back soon, so leave a message for a while, but I'll miss you.

Especially Nina, who didn't leave with a hug until the end.

I may have felt extra lonely because of the different types but the same race.

Rather, it was the same secret that the double-headed dragon laughed even though he had a face saying, "Enough is enough, go.

Now Nina is refreshed too, she flies around the area patterned and interacts with the animals pulling the carriages of the caravans.

There are more horsepower and sturdy dragon horses than horses, but it is interesting to see that the larger carriage has a variety of horsepower that can be matched by the larger dragon.

He had also been to Wang Capital, but he was only a beginner. First of all, he didn't ask for escorts for a large caravan, and he didn't have a chance to take a serious look nearby.

So again, it was Lulu and Illis who felt like this was what a large caravan was.

We're both still in the country, aren't we?

Because Zoe laughed a little and said so, it is Lulu and Iris who tried to disprove.

However,

"That's not true... That's not very much, but I can't say. It's been awhile since I left the village, but there's still so much I don't know."

"You're right, aren't you? I know the glory of the past, so I'm not surprised by the city and the crowd, but not much about the culture of modern people (human beings)..."

They were the two who immediately admitted that there was a reason and two reasons for Zoe's words.

"Well, you just have to know now"

That's what Zoe said when she let the senior wind blow.

In fact, Zoe acts as an adventurer in various lands, although about fifty years ago.

From that experience, it seemed that something called a caravan was not uncommon or irrelevant.

After a while, Ravah came to the Lulu's, saying he was with a single man.

The man I'm with seems to be the leader of this caravan.

He seems to be a human (human) man, but with his cat-like habit hairs, he only looks like a young man who has passed some twenty years of age with quite a few child-faces.

But the light that dwells in his tea eyes tells him that the man is diving through quite a few training grounds.

"We've talked. You agreed to ride with me. I'm telling this guy about the situation... but I don't know anyone but him, so I'm gonna do it."

If you ask me, I'm telling you that besides the leader of the caravan, I'm only telling you about the apparent circumstances.

I mean, it's not about Leonard, it's about people from other countries, and Paula begging me to go to Lugung to join the army.

"Hey, nice to meet you. I am Saufa, the leader of this caravan. My mother is a human being, but my father is a dwarf (Katangenos). She's a little weaker than her age and has a weak push. It's still over 40."

It is Lulu and Illis who were a little surprised by the word.

"I don't care what you think, you only look like a twenty..."

"Yeah, I used to not have a lot of mixed blood, so I feel unusual."

By Ilis, “old” is thousands of years old, but Saufa didn't seem to see it that way.

Tell them to explain.

"It's not that exciting yet, but they've been increasing for the last couple of decades or so. My parents are the runners. I used to make fun of him when he was a kid... I don't care about that story. More about you than that. I heard about the situation. As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to beg your pardon for crossing a dangerous bridge, because Rava owes me a lot of things. Here's one, I thought I'd give it back. As Rava told me, I'm the only one who knows about this, so pay close attention there. And... there, you dwarf (Katangenos), look at me."

Yes, I spoke to Paula.

From earlier on, Paula was in a hidden position so that she couldn't see her face from the saufa.

I wondered if she was familiar, Lulu, but she's not the type to plunge in because she's the first person I've met.

I was wondering why.

Paula still seemed to be hiding her face from Saufa, trying to be called upon, but she thought there was nothing she could do if she told her to show her face.

I honestly came forward.

Saufa looked seriously at Paula's face, looked surprised and then smiled.

"Hey, I knew it was Paula. I miss you...... how is your father?

asked.

Paula said to the words,

"... uh, I guess I'm fine wow..."

and gave a subtle reply, but Saufa apparently realized what it would mean to be put out of that statement.

immediately,

"Whoa, I'm sorry. It was extra."

and then told Lulu and the others,

"I've known her since she was a little girl. Even so, as much as I've really seen him a few times as a kid. I've missed it. Come on, it's time to go. Guys, get in."

That said, I went back to the shithole and the caravan.

It was the Lulu's who didn't feel a little strange about this exchange, but it's natural for people to have a lot of things going on.

It's not a good idea to try to force yourself to hear it.

Especially since it's the Lulu's who have the biggest secret in this, we shouldn't do anything we don't like to do to others.

That's what Lulu tells Paula, not particularly touching on that.

"Well, shall we go? Tell me a lot about Lugung on the road."

Paula had a strange look at the words,

"... what just happened..."

I said, Lulu,

"Well, isn't that okay?

So he smiled, and walked towards the carriage with Illis and Zoe.
