Chapter 102 Execution ②?

Part 2

When I was troubled by that unexpected development, Eva was approaching with a small sprint from behind me.

“Cry-san, I finished the arrangement for the carriage. It is a large armored carriage with six Platinum Horses pulling it.”

Platinum Horse is a Horse Monster that has several dozen times the power of a normal horse. As its name suggested, the horse fur was like coated with platinum and has the strength and endurance to run though any rough terrain, it was the highest breed of horses.

And because of it, their price was extremely high but the problem was that the carriage had six of them. One Platinum Horse was strong enough to easily pull a large carriage.

“… That, isn’t that super noticeable?”

Neither the Platinum Horses nor the large armored carriage are something owned by the Clan.

Eva blinked her eyes to the question I asked frighteningly.

“That is… A little bit. But if it is Platinum Horses, then it will be possible to escape even if you were chased by a herd of dragons.”

I have no plan to be chased by a dragon though!?

Well, I can’t talk about it being a vacation with Eva, so it can’t be helped if she made some misunderstanding… But even the Emperor would rarely use six Platinum Horses with an armored carriage. This degree of preparation can even be called strange.

I put my hand on my chin and pretend to think.

“It would be better if it wasn’t noticeable. I don’t need Platinum Horses and armored carriage. It is fine if it was an ordinary carriage. No, it will be perfect if it was a little shabby.”

For me to go on a vacation with this timing can only be troubling Eva. I am way too sorry to add those expenses.

“But ―― . ………… I understand.”

For a moment she wanted to say something, but after all, Eva nodded with a dissatisfied look. I made a wry smile and jokingly said.

“Well see,? we have to save some money, you know.”

§

“Eh… A vacation, is it… ? Of course, I will accompany you!”

Sytry who was in the Clan House Laboratory accepted without making any dissatisfied face despite being a sudden request.

She was happy but her enthusiasm wasn’t as high as Liz, she seemed calm.

This is it. This was the reaction I wanted.

“Do we need to arm ourself?”

“No, it is just a simple vacation so you don’t need to. … Ah, no. At the very least, you need weapons, to protect yourself, I think.”

“Understood.”

A pleasant reaction that resonates with me when I see it. I wanted Liz and the other Members to follow her attitude.

And then, Sytry’s smiling face became cloudy. With upturned eyes she looked at me.

“……… Ah, but ―― Right. Investigations related to Akasha are still in progress ―― .”

… Investigation related to Akasha? Was this what Aarun and Marie were talking about?

After all, it seemed that Sytry did something without my knowledge.

It can be helped that I can’t understand Sytry’s actions but I wanted you to tell me if you were doing something dangerous.

Well, there was nothing I could do even if you told me.

“Aaah, it is fine because I have asked 《Hidden Curse (Magic Wands)》 to take care of it.”

“!! Thank you very much! And I am sorry. You had to purposely take care of this inconvenience…”

“No, it was just a coincidence…”

《Hidden Curse》 is a veteran Clan. I don’t think that Sytry’s abilities were inferior to their members, but if you were going to investigate a whole organization, they should be better at it. In the first place, I am not interested in Akasha and I don’t want Sytry to do anything dangerous.

The only thing that I was worried about was that I inadvertently asked them to do something and something happened but it seemed that it didn’t happen.

For a short while, I am healed by Sytry’s smile. In a distance, Talia who had a flask under fire, was looking here while *niko niko* smiling. True healing was right there all along.

“By the way, what is the purpose of this vacation?”

Sytry removes her dirty protective robe with her hands and checks again.

Purpose? I wonder if you guys can’t go on vacation without any purpose.

However, unlike me who had a lot of time to spare, Liz and Sytry are busy. That question may be natural.

“Right…… Onsen?”

“I understand. It is resistance against fire, right? Magma?”

“Actually, there was also a little bit of escapism in it.”

“I see… There is a possibility of being chased by a strong enemy, mmh.”

“Right, you know what, Eva tried to get a carriage with Platinum Horses. Hahaha, she is exaggerating. Even though that would stand out.”

“Fumufumu, so we need to be stealthy, mmh. By the way, are we the only Members going?”

“I called out to everyone but they all escaped. I was in trouble.”

When she heard my words, Sytry turned her thoughtful expression into a smiling one, and as usual, she hit her hand together and made a *pon* noise.

“Perfect timing. There are three people I wanted to use. I am a little worried about their ability as I just got their cooperation but I wondered if they were usable……… And also it wouldn’t be bad if I were to lose them. Please leave the preparation to me!”

Apparently, Sytry was expecting something. As expected, unlike me who has no popularity, Sytry has many acquaintances.

I was a little bit worried about her peculiar wording but if I let Sytry handle it, there should be no problem.

And then, I came up with a good idea.

“Maybe we could pick up Luke and the others at the same time. Didn’t you come back in the middle of the exploration?”

I am going out after a long while. I don’t intend to go inside the Shrine but it is sometimes good to not only wait for their return but to also go pick them up.

Sytry grasps her fist to agree to my suggestion.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

What kind of vacation is this? Going to an Onsen with a possibility of magma appearing and going to a Level 8 Shrine

That ain’t a regular vacation!

So how will Sytry’s “subordinate” do? Will they survive? Will they escape? Place your bet!

Danmachi Episode 2 Review Corner

Spoiler Warning!

I saw the episode 2 of Danmachi yesterday, the quality was still good so I’m happy about that but how dare they make Weine cry like this! That broke my heart TT.TT

And that Wiene monster mode was pretty cool and clearly depicted how citizens view her.

Footnotes

Onsen: Japanese name for Hot Spring.Fumu fumu: It is like “I see, I see”.
