Chapter 163: Gideon’s answer
Translator: Tseirp
The Kingdom of Kiramine .
Situated to the northwest of Lit’s hometown, the Principality of Logavia .
A massive city towering over the northern lands covered with white snow .
Even though their country was small, the magical city built by the High-Elves was famous for being the largest city on the Avalonia continent .
The Kingdom of Kiramine was the only nation apart from those ruled by humans that was recognized as a kingdom .
“The climate was colder than the Principality of Logavia where Lit was . It was a city nation built on the freezing northern lands . Despite that, the inside of the city remains in perpetual spring due to magic . Countless High-Elves and their friends lived in that beautiful city . The Great Cathedral, studded with crystals, was no less magnificent than the Last Wall Great Fortress . The triple walls of permanent rock formed an absolute defense to protect the city that no enemy has ever penetrated . ”
Yarandorara spoke about Kiramine with a melodious voice .
“Of course, Kiramine is not an ideal paradise . Similar to humans, there are good High-Elves and there are evil High-elves … but we never betray others . ”
Yarandorara stared at us .
“Wait a minute . ”
I hurriedly stopped her .
“Lit and I enjoy living in Zoltan and this is a good town . We don’t intend to go anywhere . ”
“You may think that way now . But someday this town may betray the two of you too . Such a thing will never happen in my country . ”
“ … It’s true that I can’t tell what will happen in the future . Human hearts can change and some may abandon others to protect themselves or their family . The people of Zoltan are not heroes but ordinary people . They will probably not be willing to protect friendship at all costs . ”
“In that case … !”
“But at this moment, the friendship I have with the people of Zoltan is real . I, Lit, Ruti, Tise, and even Ugeuge-san have friends in Zoltan . I will not doubt the trust I have now for an uncertain future . ”
Lit and Tise nodded in agreement .
“I chose Zoltan because it was far away from Logavia . But I now like this town . I enjoy living with Red and interacting with Stosan, Gonz, Tanta, and others . So I will not go to Kiramine either . ”
“I came to Zoltan with Ruti-sama . To be honest, I was dragged here against my will but thanks to that, I became friends with Ruti-sama . ”
“Close friends . ”
Ruti affirmed . Tise was a little embarrassed and her face turned a little red .
“We became close friends . That was because of the atmosphere in this town called Zoltan . A laid-back place that doesn’t care about the past of others . There is no better environment for a person who has lived like me . ”
Ugeuge-san fully mobilized all its eight legs to express the goodness of Zoltan with its entire body .
Seeing our actions, Yarandorara’s smile … seemed a little lonely .
“That is unfortunate . ”
She quickly returned to her serious expression .
“I understand that all of you enjoying living in Zoltan . But the trait of a High-Elf is to be patient . So I shall wait for a long time . If you ever feel disappointed with Zoltan … I won’t expel you on your own . ”
Yarandorara was stubborn .
But that was her expression of affection to me .
“I understand, let’s think about the future when the time comes . ”
“Yup, it’s fine to keep it the way it is now!”
“Also, Yarandorara . ”
“Yes?”
“I don’t think Yarandorara is that patient . ”
“What!!”
Yarandorara was startled and poked my chest with an angry expression .
“That’s not true . Raroneesan is always kind and calm . ”
I’m surprised she can say that after having a crazy battle almost to the death with Ares after I left .
Yarandorara doesn’t get angry at trivial matters but she would not hold back her anger when she should get angry and her anger would be tremendous .
Before I met her, Yarandorara apparently destroyed an entire village in a sharp response to the sacrificial custom of the village elder .
She was a frightening woman when she turns into an enemy .
“Muu, I said Yarandorara is a kind Onee-chan!”
Perhaps she guessed what I was thinking by my expression, Yarandorara insisted as she shook my shoulders .
Everyone laughed out loud at her mannerism .
Yarandorara and I also quickly laughed as well .
“The topic is over?”
Ruti said as she looked at us .
“There’s no way we would leave Zoltan . The conclusion was set from the beginning . ”
Yarandorara was a little surprised at the way Ruti said it so clearly .
“Fufu, that’s surprising . It seems even Ruti likes this town . ”
“Yup, I like Zoltan . Oparara’s Oden shop, Gonz and Storm Thunder’s arguments, Newman’s clinic, Blacksmith Mogrim’s tales, Adventurer’s Guild Meglia and Garadin, Tanta and Ademi, playing Wyvern Race, I enjoy everything immensely . ”
“I see … Ruti is happy now too . ”
Ruti showed a spilling smile that everyone could understand .
“Yup, I am happy . ”
After hearing those words from Ruti, I became even fonder of Zoltan .
