CHAPTER 15 Part 1

Translator: Masakibluei

When I arrive at the stalls of the market, there are so many people. Probably because right now it is lunchtime. As soon as I come down from Lala’s back and put my feet on the ground, I become immediately affected by the difference in the temperature between the sky and on the ground. The crowd of people also makes it feels even hotter.

“Clio Anemos (chilly breeze)” I cast a magic spell to cool the area around my body.  I make Lala smaller to the size of the palm of my hand and let her sits on my shoulder. Lala is a Blanc Lycos, an animal who naturally lives in cold places, therefore she can’t stand the heat.

If she crystalizes herself, her appearance can be looked scary. But Lala herself said that it’s inconvenient to move around in a crystalized body. Unless she is engaged in a battle, she won’t crystalize herself.

With a slight glance, I check on Lala who is sitting on my shoulder. The sight of her wagging her tail is so adorable and I don’t expect that she would also rubbing her cheek on me affectionately.

 

Nanari: “So cute!! Don’t fall down, alright?”

 

Lala: “Okay.”

 

The market is so lively and fun to watch. Delicious smells are drifting all around the place which makes me start to drool………It’s only figuratively speaking. Having a drool hanging on your mouth is disgusting. I’m not really drooling. It’s sensible to shut your mouth and keep your manner.

 

“Would you like to try a delicious freshly picked sweet bitter orange? “

 

In front of a stall with heaps of stacking fruits, a young woman is offering some sampling of her fruits to the people who are passing by in front of her stall and people are swarming to try it. Although it seems delicious, I keep searching for a cheap light meal with my eyes and nose. Tomorrow I will get my salary so I will bear it for today. If I try the fruit sampling, I will end up buying it.

Endurance. Let’s endure.

I pinch my cheek to get a grip on myself.

Actually, it’s not like I don’t have any money at all. However if I resist, I can save half of my salary into my savings. When I squeeze the small pouch that is hanging on my belt, it makes a kaching sound.

With 3 pegaro, I can buy a meal with meat and I will still have 2 pegaro left. Roughly, the cost for food expense in one day is about 20 pegaro, and yet, with 2 pegaro, you can buy a ready made side dish or a snack that you can eat while walking.

If someone ask me, ‘are you really poor?’, without a doubt, I will confidently answer ‘yes’. It’s not about being confident, but you will save more money this way. If you think you are rich, you will tend to spend more money.

What am I going to do with my saving is another pleasure.

 

Nanari: “Haa. Shall I try to make a magic circle that can create meat?”

 

Lala: “Can you do it?”

 

Nanari: “………I can’t. But if I can, would that be nice……But I will use it in secret if I can make it. Otherwise the butchers would lose their business.”

 

Lala: “That’s also true.”

 

The savory scent of meat stimulates my sense of smells every time I walk. It smells delicious, but it’s no good. Hence, I spontaneously pinch my nose with my hand as a self-defence.

 

Lala: “Master, to go that far……”

 

She looks at me with pity because she is worried about me.

Stop, please don’t look at me with that kind of gaze.

 

Nanari: “Haha (lala), ha am ogh noh hamther ish Nanahi (I’m not master. It’s Nanari)"

 

Lala: “Na, Nanari-sama”

 

Nanari: “Hell-san! How is it before this-!!

 

Oh yeah, when I am walking for awhile, I heard a voice calling me that from the edge of the street. Eh? I stop my feet and start to look around. Certainly, someone calls me ‘Hell-san’ just now. Other than me, and my parents, I never hear anyone with a family name ‘Hell’.

 

Nanari: “Is it just my imagination?”

 

“Hell-san!”

 

Nanari: “Waa…”

When I just thought that it was just my imagination and my feet are glued on the spot, someone suddenly pat my shoulder. It’s a close call, I thought my heart would pop out.

 

“It’s me, the pharmacist.”

 

Nanari: “A! Petross-san!”

 

When I turn my back to see who was it, one of my clients, Petross-san the pharmacist raises his hand and smiles at me. Previously, he needed some crane flowers and came to Hare to ask for help.

Petross: “When I see the beautiful light blue hair, I recognize Hell-san right away. I’m sorry to call you so suddenly.”

 

Nanari: “It’s allright.”

 

Petross put his hand behind his neck and bows down to apologize. Looking at his gesture, I cast hand on top of my chest while on the inside I make a bitter smile.

Darn it. This hair really stands out.

I sharply grab my bangs.

 

Petross: “Thanks to the crane flowers, I was able to make the medicine. I feel grateful of the help from the Earth exorcist. There are some injuries and illness that cannot be healed by healing magic, so without the medicine, I will be in trouble. “

 

Nanari: “In regards to poison from magical plants, it seems only certain kind of medicine work, right.”

 

Petross-san said once in the past that he lost his leg. Down under his knee, he wears a prosthetic leg. The fact that there are some injuries that cannot be healed with healing magic, Petross-san himself understands this very well.

 

Petross-san: “Yes. Therefore, I will continue to devote myself in medicine. “

 

He raises his fist and smiles.

 

Marco: “O, Petross! What’s this. To be able to know such a pretty lady, I’m so envious.”

Petross: “Oh, Marco.”

 

Marco: “Perhaps she is the lady from Hare that you have told me about? “

 

A big man with a cloth wrapped around his head comes from behind and grips Petross’s shoulder.

 

Nanari: “Ye, yes?”

 

Uwaa, I accidentally meet a hooligan.

Although his body grabs my attention, judging from their conversation, he seems to be Petross-san’s acquittance. He looks at me with sparkling eyes.

The lady from hare………Was he talking about me?

When I turn my eyes at Petross-san, he says ‘not like that’ and makes a bashful smile while hang his head down.

 

Petross: “Before I came to request help from Hare, I met him by chance through one of my patients. He was working as an escort of that person. Then we became close friend. “

 

Marco: “Petross was in you care, right. I was not able to bloom the crane flower, and in addition, you also help to lower the brokerage fee, so thank you.”

 

Nanari: “No, ……it’s nothing. It’s thanks to the exorcists. Especially the Earth Exorcist.”

 

“It’s no difference!” said Marco while laughing heartily.

 

When he laughs, there are wrinkles around his eyes and mouth, and somehow, he looks charming with the wrinkles. He wears a sleeveless coat with loose pants. He has a bulky body with strong and plump muscles. The word muscular fits him perfectly.

 

“We have been in the care of the exorcists and Hare.”

An old lady with a shopping bag on her hand comes and jumps into the conversation. She might be another acquaintance of Petross-san. Perhaps because he is a pharmacist, he seems to know a lot of people.

 

“They are the same as the Chivalric Order, we are grateful for their existences.”

 

A person who seems to be a friend of that old lady comes behind her and adds a remark. He seems to be an old man who lives in the neighborhood. He comes toward me and asks for a hand shake.

 

While thinking inwardly, ‘who the heck is he?’, I accept his handshake.

 

The town market is indistinguishable in a good way.

 

“The chivalric orders and the exorcists are the best.”

 

“The knights from the chivalric order are going all over the kingdom to investigate the demon cases. They also protect the kingdom from the aggression of the neighboring countries. Although the exorcists are doing the job for their own personal reason, they are a great help for demon extermination.”

 

Before I knew it, those kinds of stories are spread out in the neighborhood like ripple on the surface of water. The town market originally is lively, but it becomes even more lively now.

 

Marco: “Aaa, look, just as the rumour, the knights are patrolling on the sky!”

 

The people in the market are looking up on the sky following Marco-san’s words.

On that lines of sight, a group of knights in black uniforms are riding Pegasus and flying in formation. The beautiful divine horse’s pure white wings are shining radiantly under the sun.

A group of knights is flying in the sky. Will it be 'him'?
