Chapter 354

As Fran and Alistair were talking, Mea joined in the conversation .

That conversation just now Does that mean Alistair will undertake the restoration of the sword?

Yes . That is, if the girl allows it, I will work on it

You should allow Alistair to repair it Fran . I mean how often do you get this kind of luck?

Mea and Alistair look at Fran .

(Master? Is it fine?)

Yes, Ill leave it to you .

In the first place, this woman healed me and made it tremendously easy for me to use the telepathic ability without feeling any pain . I felt like I could trust her skills . Above all,Mea gave an obvious sign that she deeply trusted Alistair from her fervent expression that seemed to have come from the bottom of her heart .

Hmm, then, please .

Yes, Ill take good care of it . So, what are you guys going to do after this?

Yeah about that

Mea turned to look at Kiara . Kiara, who led everyone all the way up to this point, was dead, and Mianoa was incapacitated . Quina was only a maid and Guendalfa is still inexperienced . Asura just lost consciousness, and Fran was not fit to be a leader yet either .

Mea was the only person who could possibly hold this group together . She must have realized it as she looked around . She turned over slowly, rubbed her red eyes lightly, and then quickly looked up .

First of all, we have to make sure that the master of this dungeon is really dead . After that, we will destroy the core .

Are you sure? Wouldnt it be a waste to destroy this large and valuable dungeon?

Quina asked Mea, who answered Alistairs question . But Mea nodded with certainty .

It will only be another potential source of future disaster, especially a dungeon that spanned between two countries like this one . If we left this dungeon be it would spur a conflict between nations for owners.h.i.+p since a dungeon is a great source of incomes .

Well, even if any country eventually gains owners.h.i.+p of this dungeon, the other countries will still remain suspicious and be on guard against them . The fact that it was used for the war will have caused it to always have that image attached to it . However, the benefits of having power over the dungeon was too great for any parties involved to give up on fighting for owners.h.i.+p . Unless all sides created a clear-cut mechanism for co-governance, it would surely lead to conflict at some point .

Nonetheless, there was no way the Beastman Nation and Bashar Kingdom, which were already not on speaking terms with each other, would join hands and share such an extraordinary bounty . Their relations.h.i.+p would most likely only worsen as times goes by . Thus, destroying the dungeon would nip any future problems in the bud . Apparently Mea thought so too .

As a royal family, we might have to consider the use

No, I agree with you .

Also, considering the character of the Beast King, I feel like Im in favor of destroying the dungeon . Its like theyre going to say, If its going to be a lot of trouble, lets go ahead and destroy it instead . Anyway, Mea seems to have decided to destroy it herself . There was no hesitation in her eyes .

Me and Quina will go deeper . Lady Alistair, please take Fran and the others and get out first .

Well, since you have shown me your sword . Fine . Ill take care of them until we get out of here . May I go straight to my house?

If we cant catch up, wed appreciate it if you could .

What will you do after that?

Im going to take Quina and the others back to Gringote . I have a lot of things I want to find out and research . But I want to entrust Fran and her sword to Alistair . Is that fine with you?

No problem, and Id like to take a closer look at that sword too,of course that is if thats okay with you . .

Is that alright with you, Fran?

Hm

Fran reluctantly nods .

Im sorry .

(No, Master is the most important thing right now . )

I think she actually wanted to go with Mea . But I swallowed my words, understanding that my restoration was top priority right now .

And what about that stupid demon over there? If you want, Ill take him with us .

It could be said that she was acquainted with Asura as well . Its not simply a feeling of familiarity, but more of a sense of comfort . After thinking a little, Mea bowed to Alistair .

Could I bother you with that?

Accepted .

Alistair approached Asura, who was lying on top of Guendalfas cloak . She carried him up easily . Contrary to her slender frame, she was actually so powerful!

Anyway, we need to get out of here . I think we should give Kiara a proper burial too, dont we?

Thats right .

Could you please take care of Lady Kiara, Lady Fran?

I understand .

Fran nodded at Mianoas words and put Kiaras body away in her dimensional storage . I felt like storing the bodies of people I knew in dimensional storage was treating them like objects, and for a moment I wondered if that was okay, but apparently the rest of the guys didnt feel any particular sentiment about it except for me .

This is a world in which death was much more familiar to us, and that the way we thought about corpses was also different and more serious . If left alone alone, they could potentially become undead . The idea seemed to be that because of the concept of the soul in the first place, after you died you were no longer there .

After quickly getting ready to leave, we headed straight for the dungeons exit, with Fran and Urus.h.i.+ in the lead .

After quickly getting ready to leave, we headed straight for the dungeons exit, with Fran and Urus.h.i.+ in the lead .

It took longer than I thought it would because everyone was still worn out, but it wasnt as particularly dangerous due to the lack of monsters .

Ive tried it lightly on the road, but apparently Frans and my skill sharing was already starting to work well . That was the only blessing I received in this whole bundle of misery . However, since my magic power was empty, I had to make do with just Frans magic power for now . We will have to be very careful about that .

While we were going through the labyrinth part of the dungeon, the dungeon started trembling greatly . Its likely that Mea and her team have succeeded in destroying the dungeon core .

Then, just before escaping the dungeon, Mea and the others caught up with us . Then, they reported that the core was destroyed and the dungeon was on its way to collapsing . Thus, from now on, this place will be nothing more than an ordinary underground structure .

Well, I guess this is goodbye for now .

Hmm

A lot of things happened, but lets meet each other again in the future .

Good luck .

Thank you . We will also pray for Masters recovery, and hope that he will be able to heal properly . Also, can I leave Master Kiara with you for a little while longer? Once we get settled in, we will arrange a funeral for her, after all we want to make sure the funeral service goes off without a hitch .

Leave it to me .

After escaping the dungeon, Mea and Fran gave each other a firm handshake and encouraged each other onwards .

We are supposed to still be at war with the Kingdom of Bashar . I dont know what will happen in the future, but Im sure they wont lose now that the threat from the North has disappeared . They should be able to repel the kingdom of Bashar .

No, they have to otherwise, it wouldnt be worth it for Kiara to risk her life . And I am sure that Mea understood it as well . With one last emphatic nod, Mea left with Quina, Guendalfa, and Mianoa .

As Kiaras apprentice and a princess, I am sure that she has a lot of responsibilities, especially now that Kiara is no longer here, she will surely bear more responsibilities . Though thinking how much that small back of her has to endure from now on I cant help but want to root for her .

Fran stared off at Meas back and the others as they climbed into the carriage .

(This Translation Belong To RNF)

Well see each other again soon .

Hmm .

(Only read and donate to RNF)

After the golem carriage which Mea and the others were in rode off, Alistair spoke to a lonely-looking Fran .

. . Should we get going now too? But first, you may have an idea who I am by now, but Ill tell you who I am anyway .

Hmm .

(To get Bonus Chapter Donate to RNF)

My name is Alistair . My occupation is a divine blacksmith . A pleasure to meet you, Black Thunder Princess and . Mr . Intelligent Weapon?

(For faster release read at RNF)

I knew it . I got found out . But still, a divine blacksmith? I thought it was possible that she was in charge of taking care of the divine sword, but I didnt think it was really true

There was just so much going on that I didnt have the energy left to be surprised anymore . Fran looked to be the same . She opened her eyes lightly and introduced herself normally .

I am a rank C adventurer . Fran, the Black Heavenly Tiger .

I am Master

Hoo!

And this is Urus.h.i.+

By the way, is Fran the one that gave you the name master?

Hmm

So its not named . . How is it possible to not be named at this level?

Wasnt the Named system supposed to be a way for G.o.ds to name their great equipment? Id be honored to be compared to an item in that cla.s.s, but what about it? Im aware that Im a good sword, but Im not overconfident enough to say, Im a sword accepted by G.o.d! Now bow before me you fool!

For now, were going to my house . Once we get there, I should be able to a.n.a.lyze and repair your master .

I look forward to working with you .

Thank you .

Its the same for me, I get to touch a great sword, thanks to you . Alright, now get in this one .

What Alistair took out of the item bag was a golem carriage that looked exactly like the one Quina had in her possession .

Fran climbed into the carriage as prompted . Alistair threw Asura onto the floor of the carriage .

Is that okay?

Serves him right! How could this idiot demon get out of control until like this anyway? I bet hell wake up with a stupid look on his face .

Thats a bitter pill to swallow for Asura . What happened between them in the past anyway? Well, we can ask him about that too when he wakes up .

Well then, lets depart!

Then we got into the golem carriage and left for the divine blacksmiths house .
