Chrome Shelled Regios:Volume8 Post Epilogue Part 3

That, floating garden.

The emergency alert was already fading, and the city sunk into silence. Strong winds were blowing roughly beyond the air filter. If it is someone used to it, knowing the approach of filth monsters in that wind condition can be done. However, in Grendan, days when the wind is calm are almost none. That's why inversely, in Grendan, it is people who can detect them only on the outside wind who are rare.(TL note: "inversely": Since most Grendans are used to it, they don't need to go outside(where it's easier to detect a filth monster))

Only the fact that a wandering bus visiting on a day when the wind is calm has high probability, those mentioned rare people know though.

The appearance of Alsheyra could be found on a bench placed in a corner of the floating garden.

Hands resting on the arm rests, sleeping. The emergency alert did not wake her up. For the sake of sleeping here, she purposely did it all the way up all night. She had no intention of simply waking up.

Deep sleep does not let you see even dreams.

“....Nantekoto”

Strong wind from outside couldn’t reach inside because of the air filter. A breeze stroked the cheek, hair tossed. Warm sunshine warms the whole body. The perfect conditions for basking in the sun and taking an afternoon nap had been met. Yet Alsheyra’s eyes were awake.

“nantekotonano”

There was not even the hazy feeling one gets after waking up. The body was claiming lack of sleep. Rather, from the time she went to sleep she was completely awake.

“Mou, I really wish you did it more simply, ne. Even among the Heaven’s Blades, You're the number one Sakkei user, right? Get a grip a little more, Kanaris!

At those words, the person standing at the entrance of the Royal Garden trembled.

“Or is this not your fault, I wonder? Aa, that's right, you don’t have a thing like bloodthirst, ne. Another moment more, you could’ve approached about ten steps, I think? If that’s the case, then who? Whose fault is this, I wonder? Karuvarn? Savaris? Or is it Minse? All members come here for a moment!” [TL Note: She's complaining because Kanaris didn't hide from her well, and thus ruined the assassination attempt she was exited about.]

Hands on her hips, Alsheyra shouted.

Kanaris who had been standing at the entrance, was standing in front in a paniced state. Subsequently, Savaris, and then Karuvarn. Lastly, Minse appeared.

"Your majesty...."

"I don't want to hear any excuses"

Alsheyra was interrupted by words of explanation from Karuvarn.

"What is this unsightly sore? You came for an assassination didn't you? Show more backbone."

At Alsheyra's rebuke, everyone was unable to move.

"It does feel good to express something like using all your power for your objections, ne. But to not even reach the person carrying your success, don't you think it's too sad? Especially for me. I've been really excited about this you know. Up all night and packed with sleepiness, it's the reason I am here. Understand? The troubles that I went that far for has been made into nothing yo. Where is the excuse that I can carry this anger to?"

With a lack-of-sleep mood brought up front, Alsheyra watched the four people. Aa mou, all wasted. Worst mood, can't deal with this! Minse!
