“Wind…” (Mirack)
“…Mother Monster?” (Celestis)
“Dasu?” (Sasae)
Mirack, Celestis, and Sasae-chan were staring dumbfounded at what Karen-san said. I of course did the same.
“…It is true that now that both the fire and water have been determined as being difficult to find, it is natural to concentrate on the remaining one, but…” (Mirack)
“Even so, to search for the last choice, the Wind Mother Monster? It is practically the same as having no info at all, you know? Or more like, the information we have on it is even less than all the others. That’s why it didn’t come into the conversation, and even if we were to blindly search for it—” (Celestis)
In the middle of Celestis’ refutal, Karen-san interrupts.
“No, we do have a method to obtain information of the Wind Mother Monster, Celestis-chan. To be more precise, to an extent that we might have a chance though…” (Karen)
“Chance?” (Celestis)
“We are going to go meet the wind hero, and then, we will have the wind hero become our comrade as well!” (Karen)
W-What is Karen saying?!
We are talking about the Mother Monsters until now, and yet, why did it suddenly turn into talk about a hero?
“…Eh? Could it be…” (Celestis)
“…The talk about the hero alliance huh!” (Mirack)
“Eh? What-dasu? What is it-dasu?” (Sasae)
Why are Mirack and Celestis making a face as if they understand?
I don’t see what they are talking about at all here. Leaving aside Sasae-chan who is new here, I should be the one here who has been the first to second longest with her in this group. I feel like I have been alienated!
“In the time Haine-san had gone to Ishtar Blaze, we talked about this together. In the time – Haine-san- had gone- alone.” (Karen)
Ah, she is still stuck on that.
“The light, fire, and water hero have become friends, so we were thinking about having the remaining two heroes join us and make a cooperative relationship with all five representatives!” (Karen)
“You made a plan like that?” (Haine)
“And so, we unexpectedly ended up befriending the earth hero, Sasae-chan. The remaining one is the Wind Church, the wind hero. If we can have her join us as well, the hero alliance will be completed!” (Karen)
“Waai, I love Karen-neechan too-dasu~” (Sasae)
“…This girl, can’t I make her crispy on the outside and soft on the inside?” (Mirack)
“Give it a break, fire hero.” (Celestis)
I feel like these four have already solidified a comedy troupe.
“…Well, what Karen-chi is saying is slightly idealistic though.” (Celestis)
Celestis says this as if advocating for Karen-san.
“It is true that in the current state of affairs where we have absolutely no information, trying to dig out new information from a new place is not a bad idea. Mirack-chi and I have been able to provide information or speculate information regarding the Mother Monsters of our elements after all.” (Celestis)
“What you are saying is that if we were to ask the Wind Church or the wind hero, the probabilities of being able to hear about information regarding the Wind Mother Monster are high, right?” (Mirack)
“They might even have critical information that might help us break through this stalemate. All of this currently hasn’t left the territory of speculation though. If we don’t have any other things to do, there might be worth in trying.” (Haine)
“…Uhm uhm-dasu!” (Sasae)
Sasae-chan raised a hand with a jerk.
“Can I speak too-dasu ka?!” (Sasae)
I stay silent in contemplation.
And then, I look at the eyes of Celestis and Mirack…
“……Go ahead.” (Haine)
“Hiih?! Yer tone of voice doesn’t have a single ounce of trust in it-dasu! But I be saying it-dasu! I be getting back mah lost honor from this opinion-dasu!” (Sasae)
I won’t retort anymore.
“Our objective is not to find the Mother Monsters, it be to defeat the Mother Monsters-dasu! So, even if we safely find ‘em, it be natural that we will enter a violent fight-dasu!” (Sasae)
“Well, yeah…” (Celestis)
“She hasn’t said anything wrong for now.” (Mirack)
Celestis and Mirack were cautiously listening to her.
“That’s why, obtaining more fighting power ain’t gonna be bad by no means-dasu! By having the wind hero as our comrade, our fights will turn more in our favor! Many on the same objective-dasu!” (Sasae)
Uwa, this is troublesome.
I can’t deny what Sasae-chan said.
It is true that having more allies in this fight against Mother Monsters would be beneficial.
Of course, if it is just defeating them, I as the Dark God incarnation can do something about it, but in the Grandma Wood fight, without the help of Karen-san and the others, I wonder how many casualties it would have appeared on the citizens if they hadn’t been there.
And also, having Sasae-chan say something decent for once is shocking.
“Karen-neechan, was that just now okay-dasu ka?” (Sasae)
“Yeah. Good job remembering all that, Sasae-chan.” (Karen)
Ah, so Karen-san was the one who suggested it.
I see, that’s more relaxing.
“But…what Karen-san said via Sasae-chan has a point. We have no other options, and with small expectations of finding information of the Wind Mother Monster, we will aim for the completion of the hero alliance. That might be nice.” (Haine)
“As expected of Haine-san! As I thought, I really do love Haine-san!!” (Karen)
Is what Karen-san said in elation.
…But saying that so publicly is a bit embarrassing.
Especially in a place where that fire hero is listening. I feel like she would be getting jealous in an instant.
“Haine, I will bake you.” (Mirack)
“Can’t you make it more indirect like the times with Sasae-chan?!” (Haine)
Mirack is scary.
Anyways, looks like our plan has been decided. We will head to the Wind Church’s headquarters, and make contact with the Church or the hero.
The city where the Wind Church is located at…wait, I feel like I have a recollection of hearing about it a long time ago. The Wind capital, Rudra Metropolis, was it?
“So, where is the Wind capital, Rudra Metropolis?” (Haine)
“…” “…” “…” “…Dasu.”
Hm?
““Don’t know”” “Dasu” (All)
And back to square one.
- 136: Like air
Oi, what is the meaning of this? Why do they not know where the Wind capital is?
At first, we were thinking about searching for the Mother Monsters. There’s 3 remaining, but we don’t know where they are. That’s why, we decided on taking a temporal detour to meet the wind hero, and bet our hopes on finding a clue there.
