[A/N: I’m finally able to put the Yuri story. ]
[T/N: I swear I forgot about this.]
“I was waiting, Sharuru-Mansan”
I wipe away the tears left at the corner of my eyes, as I look at the girl in front clearly.
Her height is slightly taller than Sharuru, but the girl is about of similar age. Her characteristic black hair that reaches her waist and a mature adorable appearance. On her neck is a certificate only the accepted examinees have.
“That is so, but you?”
“I’m Bell, a new Black Mage.”
A new Black Mage. Then that means.
“Perhaps, you’re one of the Challengers who left…?”
“That’s right. I just passed just now. Your thing, I was watching it all.”
“Is that so?”
The girl named Bell seemed to be observant of Sharuru, but she has no memory of meeting her. Since there was only swordsmen in the family and relatives, there are rare acquaintances known as magicians. Because memory skills are ought to be learned, she should have remembered any acquaintances she has.
“I want to return home for the time being, so I wonder if it’s okay…”
As expected I can happily talk with strangers of the same age, but today my spirit is already trashed so there is no more time to fight anyone.
Such is a battered exhausted Sharuru.
“Wait! Do you want to party with me?”
“Party…?”
[T/N: Party is an RPG(Role Playing Games) term for a group up with players to fight with but in this case, it’s people.]
Sharuru is confused by the sudden offer. Although it is a delightful word, in the end, she has never proved her credibility as a swordsman. She wondered if they can put together parties in such a state. Did you feel worried, Bell continued to explain slowly.
“There isn’t a problem if any of the members don’t have a certificate. We can’t act as a regular party, but we can act as a semi-party. Then you can work as a swordsman.”
“Really!?”
Sharuru’s tension eased up when she heard she can work as a swordsman.
Should she say too easy or simple? But it’s also a good thing for Sharuru to change moods sooner.
“Well, it will be an unofficial job…”
“It’s fine!”
It’s impossible to think of refusing to talk with which will end the sadness in a hurdle. There are places you can play an active role if you have a different form. How joyful it is.
“Ah, but I have to go home before that.”
“Then I’ll also go. I also have to explain to your parents Sharuru-san.”
“Yeah! Ah, it’s fine with Sharuru.”
“Thank you. Then I, Bell, is also fine with it.”
So the two started chatting as they walked to Sharuru’s house.
◇ [T/N: Scene change.]
The walk took more time than usual as they talked in the way, and the sun was setting by the time they came back.
“I’m home~, Mother.”
“Well, Sharuru. Welcome back. You’re late.”
“Hehe, just a bit~.”
“So how was the exam?”
Since the comparatively simple Sharuru was a tomboy who often returns with dirt late at night for a long time, they immediately moved to another topic without any wind of worry in it.
“It was useless!”
“Is it…”
Sharuru didn’t feel disappointed, but she told her new encounter with a brilliant show of chest.
[T/N: WTF am I translating? This is seriously not what I meant it to be(NOT LEWD). She’s just showing off e.g. like pounding her chest or something but she just pushed her chest forward without the hand actions.]
“I could defeat the examiner, I tried to say something but I couldn’t do anything, so I just came back right now.”
“Well, how stingy to my cute precious daughter! They seem useless unless you get in.”
“No no no!! If Mother goes on a rampage it’ll be bad!”
I held my cheek, as I muttered and imagined a picturesque mother. Mother LiliMana is one of the few active women who stood at the frontlines as swordsmen a few years ago. Normally she is a very gentle and kind mother, but her ability is genuine, if she stood there and swung her sword you’ll worry that the house will be erased. It is certainly a wall the Sharuru can’t overcome yet, even now when she retired from active duty, it seems someone dead will leave rather than an injured person if a thief came here.
“That’s not it, I have a report to say.”
“Report?”
“Mm! Come in now.”
All the while Sharuru was talking with Lilia she invited Bell in who was waiting outside.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Bell, a Magician Challenger.”
“Oh dear~ I’m Sharuru’s mom, it’s Lilia. Isn’t this the first time you made a wizard friend.”
“We just met a while ago!”
Apart from such talk, I began to release my main issues.
“Actually, I thought that I wanted Party with Sharuru, so I asked it this way.”
“Oh well”
“I understand that it’s kinda hard to understand with this sudden story, but when I saw her for the first time I got an intuition. If I fight together with this girl.”
“Isn’t it, fine…?”
The answer didn’t come back immediately.
It probably won’t be possible. You can if you form one with an old friend, but you can’t immediately respond to strangers you met just half a day and haven’t met before.
“Mother, please! I can’t take the exam for a while! But I can’t wait any longer!!”
Because it’s a discussion deciding her future, Sharuru will also proceed without asking for anything and just seek permission from her mother.
“That’s right. Of course, I would let you do what you like to do… Then let’s do this. Let’s say that the two of you will pair up. However, you have to return to this house sometimes and show me your healthy figure. That’s the condition.”
“Yehey! Thank you, Mother!!”
The condition Lilia made is not that difficult. She thanked her mother for allowing her somehow and hugged with joy.
“Then, Little Bell. Are you going to stay over tonight?”
“Eh, it’s fine?”
“Yes. I’d like to know better my daughter’s partner.”
“Thank you very much. Well then please spare your words… I’m going to excuse myself.”
Today is the day that various things happened, the curtain closed.
◇ [T/N: Scene change]
The next morning, the time to depart approaches.
Last night she didn’t run out of words to talk, but she got to sleep after eating dinner and taking a bath. Sharuru probably couldn’t absolutely resist the mental fatigue. Also, she can’t speak in such a manner.
[T/N: Constantly speaking.]
“Then, Mother. I’m going on an adventure.”
“I’ll definitely take responsibility for things about Sharuru.”
“Thanks again, Little Bell. Both of you take care of yourselves.”
They prepared the only necessary indicated equipment to Bell, the two were sent off by the mother.
And Sharuru was off to a new start.
YunisCold’s ThoughtsI revised this post a bit, e.g. removed unnecessary comments from me.
It’s actually the last day of exams tomorrow and here I am translating… How pitifully weird?
I totally forgot the fact that this is a yuri novel. Hhha I’m sorry for not informing anyone.
A quick yuri description:
Yuri is a word used to describe love between two girls in Japan. A.K.A. Girls Love.
Lesbian love if you’re American.
I made a page dedicated to explaining why Yuri is fun to read for both male and female audiences.
Now that we’re talking about lesbian and stuff. I almost got caught red-handed in my school library because I mistook a book. In any case, it’s a transgender male turned female kinda novel with love in between. The book was called ‘Luna’, and the name’s kinda familiar for me. P.S. I just took the book in the pretense of reading but I just actually scrolled through my phone. Good thing the librarian don’t read those kinds of stuff. What a bad day that was.
I stopped mid-way yesterday and just continued today.
I noticed that this scene is kinda similar to how couples got approved to elope… maybe it’s my imagination.
