Episode 83 Leisurely Chat [Part 1: Return, Part 2: Journey]

The wings of Type-2 fluttered as they descended onto the middle of the Vajra Wall.

The three of them jumped down from the huge body with ease.

Thank you for your efforts. Well feed you later, so please take a break and wait for us. Lilia spoke to Type-2, who was very mild-mannered, unlike when it was being manipulated.

Well, Lerga. We dont know much about our masters castle. Id like you to show us around, if thats possible?

No. Ask Doussan. Turning her back on the wary Kageha, Lerga headed for the Great Door.

Hmm, thats problematic. How do I ask Doussan? Even if Doussan is an honorable gatekeeper, requesting a pet seems

It was much more difficult for me. Its still better for you since this is the first time. Lilia said while stroking Type-2.

Hmm

Kageha, who shrugged her shoulders, also became mildly interested in the scene in front of her, and began stroking Type-2 which had its head bowed.

Once she was satisfied, she too entered through the Great Door.

The scene that greeted her inside the Great Door, even though it was the second time she had seen it, drew her attention.

Another world.

The shiny black walls and the ceiling were unusually flat, and the mystical vast space with no useless decorations enraptured her.

In the heart of the entrance, a huge serpent of flamboyant colors took her breath away.

The serpent that carried Lerga, who was becoming lazy, was there with a unique presence.

Doussan refers to the snake. I dont see the owl Im not familiar with these species. Theyre probably endemic.

While Doussan glared at Type-2, who was sitting in a well-behaved manner, Lilia opened her mouth after a bit of consideration. Yeah Lerga, that childs food is Lilia walked up with Kageha while pointing, and asked her what the snake was going to eat.

She was about to continue, but Lilias hand was brushed away.

By the tail of the snake.

.Dont point at me. Im a paisen. It spoke.

[TLN: Original word used here was paisen, which is usually used in a cutesy way instead of senpai.]

Doussan, shut up.

What do you mean, Shut up? I have to state the obvious! Youre Crono-samas apprentice! If he thinks Im a bad influence, its over!

Doussan raised its head and conversed with Lerga as though it was natural.

Im not going to let you make a fool of yourselves as long as Im here Youre the one whos going to be judged. You know what I mean?

Lergas a Werewolf. Shell be fine.

Werewolf, Werewolf, Werewolf! Enough! Youve still got to learn! How many times do I have to teach you? Im so tired!

Lerga was being lectured by the snake, but she was so used to it that she didnt even notice it, peacefully napping instead.

Lilia and Kageha were taken aback.

You, can you talk?

As you can see Why are you so shocked?

Lilia was irrationally stunned, but she quickly recovered, thinking that Cronos pet could possibly talk.

So what are you doing?

Honorifics.

..

She understood what it was saying, but a snake was still a snake, even if its the oldest member.

Even if it asked her to use honorifics, she couldnt just nod her head.

.You seem to be talking to Lerga normally, though?

Thats because Crono-sama told me to be friendly with her. Besides. She doesnt listen to me. Shes a hard woman to please. No matter what. you say, no matter what. Where the hell is this guy?

Apparently, it had tried to get Lerga to use honorifics.

Well, Ive been taking care of her as a senior member of the security team. You guys are juniors. Honorifics are common sense. Be respectful, assholes.

According to your logic, Ive been entrusted by Crono-sama to take care of you. Kageha stated.

Hmm, hmm? What the hell?

The snakes tail, which had been flicked around with pride, fell to the ground.

I have also been given leadership by the Lord of this castle. To put it bluntly, Im currently the highest-ranking person during the Lords absence. I will be your superior.

.Youre lying

Kageha pitied Doussan.

After all, he seemed to lose the ability to protest at the mention of Cronos name.

.Damn, thats shitty.

Doussan rolled up again and tried to go to sleep in vain.

Doussan. Im hungry.

Huh? Oh, Im feeling hungry now too Lergas stomach rumbled suddenly as if it had just remembered.

Ill go now. When Hisahides stupid buddies come back, tell them I went to get food.

Meat! Ill wait!

You need to eat your vegetables too! He slithered with his thick lava-colored scales, lecturing the others as he moved.

Holy crap, whats wrong with the big guy?

.Wait, Im coming with you.

Lilia?

Before Kageha could call out suspiciously, Doussan quickly responded.

Dont worry. Im one of Crono-samas henchmen. Im not stingy. Ill hunt for you from my realm.

I just want to see if theres any edible wild plants in the forest. Lilia said. She then looked at Doussan and said, Ill find out if I can let you eat some when Crono-sama comes back.

Kageha muttered a small <Hmm, so thats why>, and Lilia also said she was doing it for Crono-sama

Well, thats fine. Im sure he and I will be enough to protect you Lets go, then. Stay close.

West Forest.

Surrounding the Vajra Wall were different environments, split in the east, west, south, and north. The western forest was particularly rich in mushrooms, fruits, and nuts.

Although it was Hisahides domain, Dousan and Lilia had come to this forest where it was much easier to secure food than in the other forests.

.Arent you the Lord of the East?

Yes, I am. You know me well. But you know, theres not much food in my area, and theres also poisonous gas spewing out here and there. Crono-sama said so. I dont know if you can stand it, so I cant take you there.

We heard in town that the east is safer, so we came to the Vajra Wall from the east

Doussan who was carrying Lilia let out a dexterous sigh.

Baka, youre not strong enough The poison not working on you was just a coincidence. Hisahide saw your magic and thought you were related to Crono-sama, so he let you go. Normally, you humans would be swallowed whole.

You humans are just taking it easy because there arent many demons, right? Crono-samas friends are in the west. Even for normal people, the safest place to go is the south.

With Lerga there, they would have been safe even if they had encountered Doussan He couldnt say that out loud, though.

Its the same with the poison, isnt it? You cant just imitate Crono-sama. Hes special and there are many kinds of poison. Mine would melt you all in an instant. Nuh-hah-hah!

The touch of the heavy scales of the chattering serpent, which was still rambling, seemed to be strong enough to hurt her, Lerga, or even Kageha.

It seemed to have a level of power that Lilia could not accurately measure.

!?

Lilia jumped down from Doussan, her maids uniform floating in the air as she revealed her cutlass.

.Were surrounded.

Shadows surrounded Lilia and the others in the blink of an eye as they shuffled through the vegetation.

Green wolves, though she didnt know their exact name.

The two in front of them bared their fangs in threat.

The other wolves scurried around, looking for an opening to attack.

One on one, or if its one on three or four, she didnt think shed lose, but there are more than ten wolves in this pack.

Unless Doussan can take on half of them, hes going to get injured Lilia thought.

Oh, no, no, no.

Dousan, in a reproachful voice, slithered towards the boss-like wolf in the front.

I heard these guys are nasty. I dont know, because I swallow food whole, but Lerga said she didnt like their taste. I hear theyre not even edible.

Ugh hot.

Doussans scales took on a dark glow like they were made out of real lava, and at the same time, he began to emit heat. She almost burned her clothes just by being in the vicinity.

Thats why, I apologize for coming here so bravely. So, excuse me for coming here with so much authority, but Im afraid youre going to have to leave- while Im still not hungry.
