Zero no Tsukaima:Volume10 Epilogue
Epilogue
Receiving a wagon from within Alhambra Castle, the group traveled on the streets in the dead of the night.
They could not use Sylphid –It was impossible for eight people to ride on her body which had yet to recover. Even if her body was normal, she could not carry eight people and fly for an hour. There was no other way. That’s because Sylphid was still a young dragon.
The plan was to enter Germania temporarily after traveling two days on the coach, then crossing Zerbst’s territory to enter Tristain.
The ones at the coachman’s seat, taking care of the bridles, were Guiche and Malicorne. Looking ahead, they were chatting in voices mixed with fatigue and excitement.
“Hey Guiche.”
“What is it?”
“If you think about it carefully, we had just done something terrible huh?”
“Uh-huh. We’ve done it this time.”
“Wonder what my father and mother would be thinking at home. When I said I wanted to serve the Imperial Guards, they were so happy……And now we’re going back as criminals. I’d probably cause a huge trouble. Huh, I’ll really trouble them now. Geez.”
“Are you regretting your actions?” Guiche asked.
“Frankly speaking, a little. But I’d be more regretful if I don’t go along, I think. Constantly harassed by our female classmates. If I didn’t help you all, I’d become not a noble, but a commoner instead.”
Malicorne said, sighing.
“If that’s so, then don’t regret it.”
Guiche clapped Malicorne’s shoulders.
“You’re a good guy! One of these days you’ll get a lover. I guarantee it.”
“Even if Guiche guarantees it, I’m still not happy.”
Poking her head out from the carriage into the space between the two, Montmorency sighed.
“Huh, why did I follow you all until here……If I think about it, ain’t I at the frontier of Halkeginia?”
“Hahaha!”
Montmorency glared at Guiche who had laughed optimistically.
“What are you laughing at! I’m asking what we should do when we go back to Tristain!”
“I’m not thinking about that. When it comes, it comes.”
“Haa?”
“Shouldn’t we think about going back to our country first? Although it’s good that we rescued Tabitha, it doesn’t guarantee a safe return right? Not just the Gallian army. Seems like the elves are those guys’ allies too.”
“Huh……”
Montmorency let out a huge sigh. Guiche put his arm around her shoulders.
“Don’t worry, my Montmorency. I’ll give my life to protect you.”
“Why did I get the short end of the stick?”
“It’s okay! For some reasons my luck is strong! We’ll manage it this time too!”
“It’s not that. I’m saying that my choosing you is in itself a mistake.”
Glaring steadily at Guiche, Montmorency said that.
“Ho-how could this be……”
Guiche was dumbfounded. Montmorency planted a kiss at his face.
“Eh?”
“Why that miserable look?
“Monmo……”
At Guiche who looked up with feverish eyes, Montmorency declared.
“Geez. Don’t give up. We’ll make it somehow! Cuz I’m really not going to jail!”
