Chapter 69: Lit hesitates and decides

Translator: Tseirp

The Spirit Drake in the sky was exceedingly quick .

“That’s not an ordinary Spirit Drake . A spell or something has been done to enhance its movement speed . ”

In terms of pure speed, I believed that I was moving at the same pace but the difference was that I was on land .

I had no choice but to slow down when turning around corners and my speed would drop in an instant if I ran off the road .

“I want to believe that Ruti is fine . ”

Ruti was immensely stronger than me . I felt that I did not have any need to worry about her .

However, as expected, I just couldn’t calm down when, right in front of me, a suspicious opponent was heading toward the mountain that Ruti was on .

After running for a while, I spot two running drakes in front of me .

“Hn, so I’ve caught up . ”

There was no way I would mistake Lit’s figure from behind even when she was a distance away .

“Lit! Tise!”

“Red!”

The running drake looked at me with interest as I ran beside it and it cried out curiously .

Water and Wind Spirits were drifting around the running drake .

As I didn’t know any magic and didn’t have any skill that analyzed magic, I could only infer that the Water Spirit treated fatigue while the Wind Spirit raised movement speed .

As suspected, they had raised their speed using magic .

“Lit, did you see the Spirit Drake in the sky?”

“Yeap, I saw it . But there isn’t anybody in Zoltan capable of summoning that . Even Mistome-shi from the previous generation B-rank party can’t do it . ”

As Zoltan’s strongest adventurer, Lit had accurately grasped the ability of the strong individuals living in Zoltan so that was probably the truth coming from Lit .

“Someone from the outside huh?”

Not only did Danan appear, but another individual holding a magic-field Divine Protection with Divine Protection level comparable to the Hero party also came to Zoltan?

Was it a coincidence?

“Oh right, Danan is here too he’ll be catching up soon . ”

“Danan!?”

Lit raised her voice in surprise and Tise’s eyes were also wide open .

“Red, you met Danan?”

“Yeah, at the harbor . Apparently, he came to look for me . ”

After Lit heard that, she hesitated a little before,

“I see … sorry, but actually I have met him too . ”

She said with slightly downcast eyes .

“Lit met Danan?”

“Yup . He came to drag Red back . But he found that Red was living a peaceful life and decided to treat it as if he didn’t see anything so I didn’t tell Red . ”

Danan did? That guy wasn’t the kind to say such things .

That guy was a muscle brain that wouldn’t be able to comprehend the concept of happiness that came from living peacefully . He would probably say without any hesitation that if we enjoyed living together, we could just subjugate the Demon Lord while being together .

He would easily drop the element of peace that was crucial to our happiness . He was that kind of a person .

Furthermore …

“When did that happen?”

“Erm, I first met him when I was searching for the production base of the Devil’s Divine Protection …”

That’s strange .

Danan mentioned that he arrived in Zoltan today . There was no reason for Danan to lie in that situation .

However, Lit did not have a reason to lie as well .

“Lit, did that Danan have any strange features?”

“Strange features? Nope, I don’t recall anything in particular … well, I did not speak to Danan that much so I won’t be able to tell that well . ”

When Lit entered as a member during the time we were breaking through the Forest of Deceit, Theodora and Danan had remained in Logavia to defend . In exchange, we called in reinforcements which were Yarandorara and Lit .

That was why Lit did not talk to Danan much .

… Even though she did not, it was unthinkable that she would not see the huge difference in Danan .

“Did Danan have both his arms?”

“Eh? I don’t understand your question …”

“It’s exactly as I worded it . Right and left arm, did he have them both?”

“Ye-yeah . ”

“What’s wrong?”

Tise had also tilted her head sideways due to the incomprehensible question .

“The Danan I met had lost his right arm from the elbow down . ”

“Danan-san has only one arm!? What in the heavens happened!?”

“Bu-but I am certain Danan had his right arm when I met him …”

” … Lit, I understand if you will be surprised and I still do not know the exact details either but,”

“I’m already surprised!”

“There’s something even more serious . Danan … apparently, it was Shisandan that ate Danan’s right arm . ”

Lit’s body stiffened .

The running drake felt the hesitation in its rider and was about to stop in confusion but I pulled the reins and urged it to continue running . The running drake turned its black pupils to look at me uneasily but it obediently continued running .

“It’s impossible . I was convinced that we killed Shisandan that time!”

“Certainly . I believe Lit brought Shisandan’s head back and buried it in Logavia . ”

To Lit, he was a hated opponent that killed her teacher . She probably could not accept that the opponent who she thought she had exacted vengeance upon was actually still alive .

Burning hatred flickered across Lit’s expression for an instant .

“Shisandan … was the Asura Demon that Ruti-sama fought in Logavia?”

I nodded to Tise’s words .

“I have not actually seen him so I don’t know for sure . I have merely heard about it . ”

“Maybe it was some kind of a mistake?”

“I don’t know . But Danan will not forget about an opponent he fought against before . I believe that it has high credibility if Danan claimed it to be so . ”

We ran in silence for a while .

“The Danan I met …”

“Was probably Shisandan . He ate his right arm and copied his appearance . ”

There were many mysteries revolving around the ability of the Asura Demon race which was the only race that did not possess Divine Protection in this world .

I did not know that they could transform without killing their opponent .

“If only I told you sooner … if it was you, you would have noticed that he was a fake . If that happened, I … could have swiftly . ”

“Kill him?”

” … Yes, I might no longer wish to continue as an adventurer but that guy is an exception . ”

Lit was feeling conflicted but I could understand .

She wishes to treasure the daily life we have and to continue running the shop together .

That feeling was definitely genuine .

However, obtaining revenge was an entirely different matter .

It was Shisandan who deceived and killed her teacher and many of the royal guards and Logavia Adventurers that trusted Lit .

” … Although we do not know if Shisandan had anything to do with that . ”

Captured in my line of sight was the Spirit Drake flying in the sky .

The distance between us was gradually getting wider .

“I’ll fight alongside you if that is Shisandan . Even if that is somebody else altogether and Shisandan is still at Zoltan, I will still fight him with you . This time around, we will get revenge for Gaius . ”

“But Red …”

“True, I have already decided to no longer fight for the sake of the world . ”

That was the reason for the bitter expression on Lit’s face .

I chose to live with Lit over traveling to save the world .

Lit felt that if I had resolved to do that, she should also put aside her grudge with Shisandan and her fighting to live with me . Those were Lit’s thoughts and she was suffering because she could not make that choice .

“If Lit has a reason to fight, I will fight alongside you . Our lifestyle is not exactly a binding curse . No, we will not let it bind us . There is no reason to avoid fighting and leave behind bitter regrets . ”

” … Sorry . ”

Tears surfaced in Lit’s eyes for a little before she tightened her facial expression .

“If we meet Shisandan, I will return to being Hero Lit for a little while . ”

She turned her determined gaze toward the Spirit Drake in the sky .

“Thank you, I am all right now so Red, you should go on ahead . ”

“Okay . ”

Once again, I channeled strength into my legs .

From here onward, the roads leading to the mountain would gradually become worse so I would probably have to reduce my speed . I will not be able to catch up to that Spirit Drake .

But I should be able to arrive within a ten-minute difference .

“Be careful as well, Lit and Tise . ”

The running drake was surprised when I raised my speed even further and tried to not be outdone but I quickly pulled ahead .

“Gya!”

While hearing the cry of frustration from the running drake behind me, I rushed on ahead to reach Ruti’s side .
