“Wow…… it's been a long time since I came here. The castle town has greatly changed.” (Sadina)
“Oh yes, once during Melromarc's National Day.” (Sadina)
Sadina answers me while looking at the mountain of the Spirit Turtle.
That said…… what about the shell of the Spirit Turtle? Hmmm, it's good to see that the trees are being cut and the reclamation is advancing.
We are working hard trying to overcome the disaster.
“Where do you want to go now?” (TL: Not sure who says this line)
Unlike a class up, a reset can't be done normally.
“It's the castle! I've seen it, but I have never entered before.” (Anon Slave 1)
“That should be about right.” (Naofumi)
“I guess.” (Naofumi)
I said while heading towards the castle.
Firo knows, that's why Firo's still like this!” (Firo)
Being overtly cautious has its weaknesses too.
In addition, I don't think Motoyasu would come to the castle town because of the warrant for his arrest.
He does not have the skills to hide like Rafatalia, and he is dependent on crystals for magic.
“Muuu……” (Firo)
We pass by the castle gates while chatting.
Is that bitter face made for Sadina, who is obviously a Beastman?
The demi-humans have a low status in this country.
The strong sense of discrimination is so deeply-rooted that even the Queen admitted to it.
I ask about the Queen's whereabouts to a servant. It looks like she's in the middle of conducting official business, but that seems like a stalling tactic because she knew I was coming.
Oh, I'll just rest here in the castle's garden.
“Wait here.” (Naofumi)
“Can I? Well then.” (Fohl)
Fohl takes off his robe.
Garangaran…… (TL: clanging sound)
I hear a sound of something falling behind me.
Moreover, there's a signboard attached to him that says “Do one lap around the castle as punishment. Do not get help no matter what!” signed with the Queen's name.
And Trash is immediately suppressed.
“Let go of me! Shield, he is the Devil, and he even brought a Hakuko[4] into the castle! Kill him!”
……I hear some amazing threats from Trash about the Hakuko species.
Well, I have fun seeing Trash being overpowered.
“Why are you making a racket now?” (Queen)
The Queen comes out while holding her head.
“Oh my wife! The Devil of the Shield is showing his true nature and has brought a Hakuko into the castle.” (Trash) (TL: Hakuko means White Tiger)
“Is that so, that's all you have to say!? Those aren't the words I expected to hear!” (Trash)
It makes me think that regardless of whether or not you are being brainwashed, I feel uplifted here.
Yeah, I definitely don't.
“Guh…… even though you are my wife, I will not allow you to defend a Hakuko!” (Trash)
Let go of me! Vulture, do not let that vulture take advantage- J-JYHAAAAaaaAaaaaAAAAaaa!” (Trash) (TL: He actually says the word eagle here)
Trash is then taken somewhere else.
“Don't worry. That guy's just crazy.” (Naofumi)
Fohl comes to me and asks while there is tension hanging in the air.
“Is that so?” (Fohl)
“You…… perhaps the name of your grandfather is Tai Ran＝Ga＝Feon?” (Queen)
“I don't know!” (Fohl)
Phew…… Whenever I'm in the neighborhood, Fohl becomes rebellious. Now he won't obey me.
“How do you know my grandfather?” (Fohl)
“I see, what did you say……?” (Fohl)
I am also surprised. How could you say that with such ease? Well, I will never forgive such selfishness.
“The thing about your grandfather, did you know?” (Queen)
“Is that so…… it was rude of me to say that. I ask that you do not mind.” (Queen)
No, it is pretentious of me. I am going to take care of my own roots.
“Iwatani-sama, are you facing any problems? How are you holding up?” (Queen)
“And your territory? Anything that happens reaches my ear.” (Queen)
“In the end, is Melty useful.” (Queen)
I cannot say anything more because she has only just taken over the management for a few days.
“Can't you do anything about Bitch, your other daughter? Or rather, I feel like murdering her the next time we meet.” (Naofumi)
The thought of capitalizing on her information bounty fills me with a sweet feeling.
"We must take into account...... the possibility of that child crossing over the border together with Ren-sama and that other woman from the Spear Hero's party.” (Queen)
Perhaps going over a mountain?
Smuggling? Or hiding in a cargo hold? Neither options would be acceptable for her.
“Can't you just smoke her out with the slave's crest?” (Naofumi)
“If possible, don't……” (Queen)
"More or less. To put it specifically, it's a means to avoid a war.” (Queen)
“It is that that child hates from the bottom of her heart. As she escapes without its writhing, and refusing it, and entreating, and being heated, and waving the eyes.” (Queen) (ED: Help...T_T)
“It's……” (Queen)
It seems I can have more fun mentally by making a Daruma doll. Even if the Daruma Doll wears out, in this world, it can be cured so long as there is money due to the miracles of the recovery magic or alchemy.
“Is that so? Then this time, please tell me everything.” (Naofumi)
"But as punishment, for the sake of education, an iron brand should be firmly thrust in her." (Naofumi)
“……how is that good? (Fohl)
Fohl squirms uncomfortably as though he is being branded. Because Rafatalia is not around, there is no helping it.
I feel like I've become some stand-up comedian. (TL: I think he's making a joke here about plunging/thrusting the branding iron and putting Fohl in an uncomfortable/unpleasant situation)
I do not think I want to change myself, but let's decide to hide the feeling inside a little bit more.
“Well, to give you an example, she's the type of person who would use your sister's body to commit various crimes, and once her use runs out, your crying sister would then be tossed away with a kick even as she laughs loudly. (Naofumi)
The victims are mainly Motoyasu and me.
Even if you're that angry, you don't have to grab me.
“That is something absolutely unforgivable! I will kill you before I allow such a thing to happen!” (Fohl)
Even though I'm considering selling you if you are worthless.
“It's the same thing.” (Fohl)
Yikes, my mind was read?
“Ah.” (Naofumi)
“Did you already hear about it?” (Naofumi)
“It would be convenient if the Warp skill could be used for travel.” (Naofumi)
“I understand. I think I will attend to your request for their capture as soon as the conditions are met. Moving on, there is the issue about the Spear Hero.” (Naofumi)
I do not encourage it because it is unpleasant under there.
“It should be possible for a slave, but the slave crest does not have an effect on a Hero.” (Queen)
“Thank you. We will also investigate anything that has to do with the Sword Hero.” (Queen)
Because it has something to do with Bitch, there is an unpleasant feeling that's attached to it.
“Hey, do you know why Bitch became like that? A genius at lying, spitting insults, and manipulating people.” (Naofumi)
I mean, you should have been aware of her bad personality.
This not the time for you to start reminiscing.
“Many times have I tried to fix her bad personality. I even let her study abroad in a school in Foburei to learn cultures. But the result was……” (TL: Foburei is the most powerful country. The hero summons was originally supposed to be performed here)
School of the Bitch.
“The Bitch's past is not something I give a damn about!” (Naofumi)
It really did not matter.
