Volumen 03 Capítulo 22 - El secreto de Shishou

1ª Parte

Mientras dormía, comencé a soñar.

En mi sueño, ángeles bajaban desde el cielo; y a diferencia del sueño del otro día, en esta ocasión estaba seguro de que era un sueño agradable.

Pero cuando este pensamiento cruzó mi mente, un mosaico fue apareciendo en las entrepiernas de todos los ángeles, y sobre él pude ver una risa burlona haciendo Fufufu con una cara dibujada bastante repulsiva.

Y lo que pensé un sueño, se convirtió en pesadilla; cuando comprendí esto, desperté.

"Era un sueño..."

Últimamente parece que solo tengo pesadillas...

Frente a mí, un mundo enorme extendiéndose hasta el horizonte plagado de rocas y tierra desquebrajada.

El continente demoniaco, Makai; uno de los fragmentos resultantes de las tierras Enormes originales, que fueron dividas durante la guerra entre Humanos y Demonios. La superficie de este continente es la mitad que del continente central.

En su día, fue la zona dominada por el Rey Demonio Laplace, donde reunió a las distintas razas demoniacas. Aunque no hay vegetación en este lugar, la tierra está cubierta de grietas, los altibajos en el terreno causan tremendas pendientes y diferencias de altura de unas zonas a otras; sumado a los increiblemente enormes peñascos y montañas que bloquean la visibilidad, convierten este lugar en un laberinto natural formado por marañas de caminos.

2ª Parte

Nos espera por delante un viaje muy largo; pienso esto, mientras le doy vueltas sobre como explicarle lo ocurrido a Eris, y la encuentro con más ánimo del que pensé. Sus ojos parecen contener brillantes estrellas conforme observa el paisaje del continente demoniaco.

"Te quería contar algo, Eris, estamos en el continente demoniaco..."

"¡El continente demoniaco! ¡Eso quiere decir que nuestra aventura está a punto de comenzar!"

Está realmente feliz, totalmente serena.

Cualquier cosa que le diga en este momento solo la hará perder los ánimos.

3ª Parte

Eris y Ruijerd ahora son bastante cercanos, supongo que mientras dormía estuvieron charlando.

Bueno, mejor eso que discutiendo.

Eris le cuenta alegre historias de su hogar, la mayoría son cosas sobre las clases de magia y espada; y aunque Ruijerd habla poco, siempre le responde con algún comentario positivo cada vez que le cuenta algo.

¿Qué ha pasado con el terror que sintió al principio?

No esperaba que Eris de verdad le perdiera el miedo a este hombre del que todavía no estoy seguro si confiar o no; hubo varias ocasiones en las que Eris le dijo algo tremendamente tosco o grosero, haciéndome notar un sudor frío recorriendo mi espalda, pero Ruijerd nunca se enfada ni hace nada fuera de lugar.

Sin importar lo duro que haya sido lo dicho por Eris, Ruijerd lo deja correr; me hace dudar de la persona que inició los rumores sobre la raza Speard enfadándose con facilidad.

Pero aunque diga esto, la Eris de hoy día es más o menos capaz de entender la situación; así que quiero pensar que Edona le enseñó como es debido que es mejor evitar decir cosas que puedan enfadar a tu compañero de conversación.

De verdad lo espero.

Porque por mucho que no haya pasado nada todavía, no conozco la tolerancia que puede tener con gente desconocida, por lo que desearía que Eris fuera algo más prudente al respecto; pero claro, como la paciencia de Eris es también muy reducida, también deseo que Ruijerd tenga cuidado en lo que diga.

Justo llego a esta conclusión, y ya puedo oír a Eris subiendo la voz.

"¿Ludeus y tú sois hermanos?"

"¡No!"

"¿Pero, ¿no os apellidáis los 2 Greyrat?"

"¡Sí, pero aunque compartamos apellido, no es mi hermano!"

"¿Mediohermanos por parte de madre o de padre?"

"¡NINGUNA DE LAS 2!"

"Puede que no sepa todo sobre la raza Humana, pero deberías valorar a tus familiares."

"¡Ya te he dicho que no es así!"

"No pasa nada, tan solo debéis teneros cariño."

"Uuuu.."

Eris se desinfla un poco y pierde el tono tan brusco.

"Y, yo le aprecio..."

Bueno, puede que no seamos hermanos, pero hemos crecido juntos después de todo.

4ª Parte

En el continente demoniaco parece no haber más que rocas y montañas, por no decir que el terreno en general es áspero; probé a cavar un poco y el suelo comenzó a agrietarse más y más, no parece que hayan nutrientes en el terreno.

Da la sensación de que está a un paso de convertirse en un desierto; con la poca vegetación que hay para las razas demoniacas, hasta yo comenzaría una guerra por recursos. Apenas veo cosas como arbustos y malas hierbas, y lo más parecido a cactus son una especie de piedras.

"Hmm, esperad un segundo, no os mováis para nada de aquí hasta que vuelva."

Cada 10 minutos aproximadamente, Ruijerd repite esto y sale corriendo adelantándose. De un suave salto atraviesa colinas y dunas llenas de piedras y desaparece en apenas un instante, esos saltos necesitan de una forma física increíble a mi parecer.

Y tomando a Ghyslaine de ejemplo, aunque también es sorprendente, si pusiéramos sus habilidad física en número, estoy casi seguro de que Ruijerd es superior a Ghyslaine.

En apenas 5 minutos o poco menos, Ruijerd vuelve con nosotros.

"Disculpad el retraso, sigamos."

No comenta nada al respecto, pero puedo notar un ligero olor a sangre en la punta de su tridente; imagino que se adelantó para acabar con los monstruos que bloqueaban el camino.

Ahora que lo pienso, en el diccionario de Roxy, la gema color rubí que poseen los Speard funciona como un radar de seres vivos. Con esta habilidad, son capaces de encontrar enemigos sin ninguna dificultad; y seguramente Ruijerd ataca por sorpresa a las criaturas mágicas antes de que nos descubran.

"¡Eh! ¿Qué es lo que fuiste a hacer? Lo llevas haciendo desde el principio."

Eris pregunta sin ningún rodeo.

"Limpié el camino de criaturas mágicas."

Ruijerd responde de forma concisa.

"¡¿Cómo sabes que están ahí si claramente no los has visto aún?!"

"Yo los veo."

Al decir esto, Ruijerd se aparta ligeramente el pelo de su casa, en su frente podemos ver una piedra del color del rubí. Ante la acción, Eris retrocede ligeramente, pero al ver la piedra parece interesarse.

"¡Eso es verdaderemente útil!"

"Puede que sea útil, pero he pensado demasiadas veces que sería mejor no tener algo como esto."

"¡Entonces yo la llevaré puesta! ¡Venga, quítatela!"

"Eso no es posible."

Ruijerd laughs wryly. Eris has started to learn how to joke......

It's a joke right?

They seem to be having a lot of fun, I'll participate too.

[On that subject, I have heard that the Magical creatures here are very powerful...]

[There aren't many powerful ones here. The numbers of the creatures here might be on the high side because it's far away from town.]

Indeed, there are a lot of them.

From the start, Ruijerd would clear the monsters every ten minutes. If it's in the Asura kingdom, you won't even meet a single Magical creature even if you ride in a horse carriage for hours.

For the Asura kingdom, the knights and adventurers will clear the Magical creatures at fixed intervals.

But even if it's here, the number of encounters for the Magic continent is just too high.

[From the beginning you have been fighting by yourself, are you really alright?]

[It's fine. I killed all of them with one strike.]

[I see... If you're tired please tell me. I can support you as I am able to use Healing Magic.]

[There is no need for children to worry too much.]

As he says that, Ruijerd places his hand on my head and strokes it timidly.

Perhaps this person really likes to stroke children's heads?

[You only need to stay beside your younger sister's side to protect her.]

[I already said! Who's his younger sister! I'm the older sister!]

[Hmm, is that so? My apologies.]

Ruijerd says that and strokes Eris's head, but the conclusion ends up in his hand being smacked away.

Poor Ruijerd.

Part 5

It has been almost 3 hours.

Because of the road's elevation difference, we stopped countless times. To cross the snake-like roads, we also spent a lot of time.

If you calculate it in a straight line, we probably have not even reached 1 kilometer.

I'm exhausted. I was like that yesterday as well.

I don't know why my body feels so tired. Is it because of the teleportation? Or simply because I don't have the stamina?

Under Ghyslaine's guidance, I should have been properly trained to raise my physical abilities...

[It's a village!]

Eris looks as if she's not tired at all, and looks at the place with great interest. I'm jealous of her stamina.

Even though Eris says it's a village, but this place feels more like a hamlet. A dozen houses gathered together and surrounded by roughly made fences. Beside the fence is a small cultivated field.

Even though I'm not sure what it's growing, I think it's probably barren.

With a place like this where there is no river water or something similar, it's probably a futile attempt.

[Halt!]

The entrance is being blocked. As I look closely, there seems to be a youth around the age of a middle schooler. His hair is blue, and reminds me of Roxy.

[Ruijerd, what's with all these people!]

He's speaking in the Magic God language. Looks like my listening ability for Magic God language is okay. I'm able to properly understand it, OK.

[It's the aforementioned shooting star]

[They are suspicious, you can't let these people into the village!]

[Why. Where do they look suspicious?]

Ruijerd's face tightens, and closes on him to press for an answer.

What an earth-shattering bloodlust.

If I saw him for the first time displaying that bloodlust, I would immediately run away without second thoughts.

[T, they look suspicious no matter how you look at it!]

[They were merely dragged into Asura's Mana calamity and teleported here.]

[B, but-]

[You bastard, are you forsaking these children......?]

Ruijerd's clenches his fist. I grab his hand by reflex.

[This is his job, please restrain yourself.]

[What......?]

[I mean, for an underling like him, he won't be able to solve the problem. Isn't it better to find someone whose position is higher?]

The youth's eyebrows knit together when he hears the word underling.

[You're right. Robin, call the chief.]

Ruijerd glares at the youth with his eyes stating, <Cut the damn crap out>.

[Ahh, I'm also thinking of the same thing.]

The youth called Robin closes his eyes, and keeps this appearance for over 10 seconds...

[......]

What's this guy doing? Start going already.

Closing your eyes or something, are you dozing off right here!

Or are you waiting for a kiss?

[Ruijerd-san, this is...?]

[The Migurd race can talk with one another even if they are not at the same location.]

[Ah, now that you mention it, I remember that my Shishou also taught me this.]

To be more accurate, it was written in Roxy's letter. The Migurd race can correspond with each other if they are close by.

Adding on to that, Roxy also wrote in order to get away from that ability, she left the village.

Poor Roxy....

That being said, this means this is the Migurd community.

It might be better if I said Roxy's name. Ah, no, I still don't know what's the relationship between Roxy and this village, it's a possibility that I'm bringing unneccessary trouble to myself.

[The chief should be coming soon.]

[It's okay if we can go ahead to find him too right?]

[How can I let you enter the village!]

[Is that so?]

Temporarily, the atmosphere turned uncomfortable. Eris softly pulls on my sleeves.

[Hey, what's happening?]

Eris doesn't understand the Magic God language.

[He says that we're very suspicious, so he's letting the chief check the situation.]

[What, where do we look suspicious...]

Eris frowns and look at her own clothes. It's the same clothes when she goes out to the town and attends sword lessons.

Even though it might seem to be a little light for dressing, but it's not strange at all.

At least I don't think she's very different from Ruijerd. If she's wearing a dress or something, that will actually be suspicious...

[It will be fine right?]

[What do you mean by fine?]

[If you ask me what it is, I also find it hard to explain clearly..... That is, you know....]

[It's fine.]

[Ye-s....?]

As expected, when we had the argument at the entrance, Eris seems to feel a little uneasy. But after I told her it will be fine she immediately turns meek.

[The chief seems to be coming now.]

There seems to be a boy-like adult walking with a cane coming out from the village. And there are two girls who look like they are from middle school holding on to him.

Everyone looks young.

Perhaps, even when a Migurd becomes an adult they still look like they are in middle school? Roxy's dictionary didn't mention something like that.

Oh wait, the drawings on the dictionary resembles middle schoolers.

I thought it's Roxy's self portrait, even her chest looks a bit fuller.... Perhaps that's actually the appearance of an adult Migurd Race?

As I keep thinking, the chief starts talking with Robin.

[These are the children right...?]

[Yes, it seems that one of them can speak the Magic God language, no matter how you look at it, it feels suspicious.]

[Language or whatever, anyone can speak it if they learn it right?]

[Why would a human at that age learn the Magic God language!]

Seriously.

The chief pats Robin's shoulders.

[Well, well. You should calm down a little.]

The chief walks slowly to my side. In any case, I lower my head.

Not the nobilities' etiquette, it's the Japanese ojigi.

[It is my pleasure to meet you for the first time. My name is Rudeus Greyrat.]

[Oh, you're very polite. I'm the chief of this community, Rocks.]

I make an eye signal at Eris. He looks like he's the same age as her, but the chief's mannerisms is completely different to her, and she doesn't know what to do.

She crosses her arms and then places it down, and she looks like she's unable to calm down.

She's hesitating whether to cross her arms and take on an imposing stance.

[Eris, go ahead and make your greeting.]

[B, but, I don't know the Magic God language?]

[Just do the same thing that you're taught in etiquette class. I'll translate for you.]

[Uu- I, I'm pleased to meet you, I am Eris Boreas Greyrat.]

Eris follows what she had learned in the etiquette class to make a greeting. Rocks smiles after seeing that.

[The young lady over there, is she making a greeting?]

[Yes, this is our way of greeting in our hometown.]

[Hoh~ But it is different from you?]

[It is different from males and females.]

Rocks nods in a [I see, I see] manner, and and imitates my example and lowers his head to Eris.

[I'm the chief of this community, Rocks.]

Eris looks at me in a loss when she sees the chief suddenly lowering his head.

[Rudeus, what is he saying?]

[He says, "I'm the chief of this community, Rocks."]

[Is, is that so. Hm, Hmph. It's just like what Rudeus said, we can communicate with each other.]

Eris says with a smile on her.

Alright, it's fine with this right?

[So, can you let us go into the village?]

[Hmmmm...]

Rocks looks all my body as if he wants to lick me.

Please stop.

If you look at me with such passionate eyes, I'll feel like I need to strip...

Rocks's eyes stop in front of my chest.

[Where did you get this pendant?]

[Shishou gave it to me.]

[Who's your shishou?]

[Her name is Roxy.]

I honestly state her name. Thinking it over, this is my respected Shishou's name, why do I need to hide that fact?

[What!]

Robin yells loudly. He hurriedly grabs onto my shoulders.

Did I dig my own grave?

[Y, you, j-just said Roxy!?]

[Yes, she's my shishou...]

As I reply him, I see in the corners of my eyes that Ruijerd is raising his fist, and I immediately stop him.

Robin isn't showing anger but anxiety.

[W-where is Roxy now?!]

[I haven't seen her for a long time so I...]

[Tell me quickly! Roxy, Roxy is my daughter!!]

I'm sorry, what was that?

[My apologies, I didn't hear what you said just now.]

[Roxy is my daughter! Is she still alive?!]

Pardon? No, I heard it clearly.

Wait, I'm more concerned about this guy who looks like a middle schooler. Just looking at his appearance, you might say that he looks like Roxy's younger brother.

But, I see, hm----.

[Quickly tell me, she left this village 20 years ago, and there has been no word ever since!]

It looks like Roxy has secretly left her home. I didn't hear this matter from her. Sheesh. My shishou's explanations aren't detailed enough.

Erm, he said 20 years.

Huh? How old is Roxy now?

[I beg you, please stop being silent, quickly tell me something.]

Oh, please excuse me.

[Roxy is now...]

I just realize that my shoulders are still grabbed by Robin. It feels almost like I'm being threatened. Although it's somehow different from being threatened.

It's almost as if you're making me yield to violence right!

If you want me to crack under violence, you need to at least use a baseball bat to destroy my PC, smack me with karate, and break my heart with profanties!

If I don't show this firm attitude, I'll make Eris uneasy right?

[Before that, please answer my question. How old is Roxy now?]

[Age? No, compared to this...]

[This is a very important thing! And please tell me the life span of the Migurd race!]

This is something that I absolutely must hear.

[Ah, ahh... If it's Roxy... She should be 44 years old. The life span for a Migurd is around 200 years. Even though there are those who die due to sickness, but if they grow old they should live till around this age.]

She's the same age as me. I'm slightly happy.

[I see... Ah, please stop grabbing me.]

Robin finally releases his hands. Very good, very good, we can finally talk.

[Half a year ago, Roxy should still be at Shirone. Even though I never meet with her face to face, but I communicated with her by exchanging letters.]

[Letters...? That child knows how to write the Human race language?]

[At least from 7 years ago, she was able to perfectly write in that language.]

[I, is that so... Then she's alright?]

[If she hasn't run into any accidents or gotten sick, she should still be very healthy.]

As I say that, Robin kneels shakily on the floor. He shows a relieved expression with tears in his eyes.

[Is that so... She's safe... She's safe.... Haha.... That's great.]

That's great, Father-in-law.

But looking at him reminds me of my father Paul. If Paul knows that I'm safe, he will probably cry out too.

I feel like sending the letter out to Buina as soon as possible..

[Well then, will you allow us to enter the village?]

I look at the crying Robin with the corners of my eyes, while talking to chief Rocks.

[Of course. How can we be cold to the people who informed us of Roxy's safety?]

The effect of Roxy's pendant is extraordinary. If I knew this would happen I would have shown it at the start.

Ah, no, based on the dialogue's progression, there's the possibility where they suspect me of killing Roxy and stealing the pendant.

The Magic race is really long lived, and there must be people whose appearances are different from their age.

If my real age of over 40 years old gets revealed, no matter how much I look like a 10 year old child, it will be suspicious right?

I need to check myself. Do more actions befitting of a child.

And with that, we enter the [Migurd race's hamlet.]
