Chapter 184

CHAPTER 184: DRIFTER

Now then, can we return to the inn soon?

After playing to our hearts content in the sea, I suggested that to everyone.

Thats right. I played a lot today, and I was getting tired!

Well. In normal battle, you also moved the parts of your body that didnt move much, and if youre not good at it, you will have muscle pain tomorrow, right?

Then, why dont I massage Als body when we return to the inn?

Eh? Saria, you can do that?

Yup! Leave it to me!

Towards Al, Saria pounded her chest.

Its been less recent for Saria to do anything, but as expected, she has ridiculous specs.

She can do housework and everything perfectly.

Moreover, its even more surprising because she was a gorilla before she turned into a human.

When I was surprised at the high specs of Saria, Olga-chan suddenly pulled the hem of my pants.

Seiichi-oniichan

Nn? Whats wrong?

Something is coming

Eh?

When I turned my gaze towards the point where Olga-chan was pointing, it certainly looks like something was drifting as if it had been washed up.

I cant see it well from here, but what is it?

Just in case, I want to confirm it. If it was a person, thats bothering.

That said, its about the person who was drifting

Its a persoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon!?

The one who was washed up on the sandy beach was, one person a man? Female? I mean, it was an androgynous-like person.

However, what attracts me more than that was the clothes the person is wearing.

What the person is wearing was a hakama* and haori* like such, and she/he was dressed as if she/he had jumped out of a Japanese historical drama. Anyway, there is something like a katana on the waist. (TN: hakama* and haori* = https://matcha-jp.com/en/2648, also gender is unknown)

I mean !

Whawhawhawhat should I do!? This is, a person!? Its a person!?

Calm down stupid! First of all, you should confirm his/her consciousness, right? Besides, you can check him/her with recovery magic!

Huh!? Certainly!?

I lost my mind to the drowned corpse who was drifting, but I immediately regained my mind, and I activated the highest-level magic of light attribute, the Healing of the Virgin Lady, which is the most effective recovery magic.

As it is, the light is sucked into the body of the person who was lying down in front of me.

Then, a change came to the person who was lying down.

Uh

Its alive!

I guess. He/she isnt hurt now with Seiichis magic, but as I observe her/him, he/she is still weak, so at once, we should take her back to our inn. We can take care of her/him until after she/he wakes up.

Understood.

When I held the fallen person in my arms, we hurried back to the inn.

We arrived safely at the inn, but immediately after arriving at the inn, the person I was carrying woke up.

Nn? Thi,this place is

Ah Are you okay?

Tsu!?

The moment I called out, the person I was holding reached for the katana that was attached on his/her waist, and pulled it out.

Hah!

Seiichi!?

Al raises his voice in response to his/her sudden attack, but

Wha!?

Surprisingly, before the katana touched me, it bent so much that I couldnt tell what was going on, and it became like a kind of sculpture of contemporary art.

Looking at the sword, the person who pulled out the katana opened his/her eyes wide, and Al let out a sigh in astonishment.

No, I dont know whats going on. What and how can a weapon be shaped like that?

Come now?

Why dont you know?

Im sorry, I dont understand even if you say that.

Even when I fought the soldiers of the Kaizer Empire before I left the Barbador Magic Academy, their weapons and armors gradually fell apart just like this one.

If its worse, he/she may hurt himself or her/his body may break

But I want you to believe me. I didnt do anything from my side!

With that in my mind, the person who pulled out the sword slipped out of my arm, and showed vigilance.

You guys who are you!?

No, thats my line

Tsu!? Wha,what, is that figure! Shameless!

When I was puzzled by the person wearing a hakama who was being vigilant, I noticed what we looked like right now, and she turned her face red and pointed at me.

What its a swimsuit, though ?

Swimsuit ? What an incomprehensible thing! Is there a guy who loiters around shirtless! The girls there too, wha,what is with their appearance!? Outrageous, outrageous!

Im not sure, but apparently for the person in front of me, it seems that its her first time seeing a swimsuit.

Certainly, it looks like underwear just by looking at it. Well, I dont really feel it unless Im told with that.

Such a thing doesnt matter, but lets move on with the talk.

Why dont you calm down and listen to me? We just carried you because you were lying down on the beach.

I was lying down ? No, wait. I* was !? (TN: She was actually referring to herself as sessha. And, also I was hoping she was a girl so its a she now hehehe~)

When I suddenly thought that she fell silent, the face of the person in front of me turned pale, and tried to run out suddenly.

Mu-sama ! Ku!?

Oops

Hey!?

However, even though her wounds were healed by magic, her strength havent recovered, but I was able to hug her on the spot where she was about to fall.

Ge,get away from me, your rude! You its impolite of you not to know Mamorigami Yaiba!

Im sorry, I dont know you

What did you say!? (TN: The name sounds boyish, so Ill revert to he now)

The person wearing a hakama in my words . Mamorigami-san opened his eyes wide. Im sorry, I really dont know you.

For the time being, I thought that maybe I was the only who didnt know him, so I asked everyone.

Do you know him?

I dont know!

I also dont know him.

Dont know.

M,me too

I have no interest!

About one person had an obvious answer, but anyway, no one here knew about Mamorigami -san.

However, it seemed to be quite shocking for Mamorigami -san, and he collapsed from his knees.

I,if you dont know me then? Yamato was such a person to be feared, this me is?

By the way, that Yamato? I also dont know him

Mamorigami-san fell silent for a while, probably because of my words thats terrible.

Mamorigami-san opens his mouth as he watches while worrying about the situation.

I want to ask a question. This place, where?

This place, is it? This is the port city of the Kingdom of Welmburg, Southern, were in the Black-tailed Gull inn.

Welmburg Kingdom in a foreign country !? Ho,how come

Uhmm?

Im sorry, I lost my composure.

Then, Mamorigami-san stood up calmly, perhaps because his confusion had settled down, and bowed his head.

It appears that you have helped me. Even if it was a misunderstanding, I pointed my katana at my benefactor, Im sorry.

N, no. If there was a stranger near you suddenly, youll be wary, and besides, its my fault, I guess? I dont know if it was like such, but I made your sword become like that

Ah

Mamorigami-san stared at the katana in his hand, perhaps remembering it due to my words.

Al pokes my side in the appearance of such Mamorigami-san.

Oi, Seiichi. You can do something somehow.

Eeh!? Even if I was told to somehow I dont even know how

No, no matter how you look at it, that katana? Wait that weapon, didnt it seem like it was reluctant to attack you?

The sword hates me!?

What the, weapons hate me.

No, its too late. I was a man who was being avoided by the sea.

When it comes to that, did it become like that itself in order to not really attack me?

The,then will it return if I forgive it?

Etto you can turn back, I guess?

It was at that moment when I called out so.

The katana, which was bent so complicatedly, returned to its original form in an instant.

Wha!?

Eh, seriously

I didnt think that it would really turn back.

Oi!

Al said to me that I could do it, but there was no reaction from her!

Mamorigami-san, who was staring at the katana again, wields the sword several times on the spot.

His swordsmanship is very beautiful, and I knew that Mamorigami-san was strong even from an amateurs point of view.

After swinging the katana to a certain extent, as if its inspection is over, he puts it in its sheath and bows her head again.

Im indebted. Originally speaking, it was the result of me jumping to wrong conclusions, but you restored my weapon back.

Thats Im glad I was able to restore it.

I didnt give my name yet. I call myself Mamorigami Yaiba. The 18th generation of the Mamorigami family who serves the Yamato family for generations degozaru.

Amazing, he said degozaru!

I was deeply impressed by his wordings, but the more I looked at Mamorigami-san, the more I felt that he was a kind of person wholl jump out of a historical drama.

Indigo blue hair tied together with long eyes.

Its really like a samurai getup.

What do I say, he seems to be in the Shinsengumi*. Hes a handsome guy. No, his face has no connection with it, right ?

His tone feels like an overseas person who admires samurai, but it suits him very well.

We also briefly introduced ourselves because Mamorigami-san named himself, but Mamorigami-san has an apologetic look on his face.

If its true, I would like to repay you guys, but I have to return. Therefore, I would like to give my gratitude on some other time.

Thats fine, but are you okay?

What, no matter how I see it, I was full of confidence in my own arms. It was my blunder at that time, but now, Im okay.

Mamorigami-san stares somewhere far away.

Im not sure what happened, but it doesnt seem to be a topic we can step into.

Etto you said youd be back, but do you know its location?

When I asked him that, Mamorigami-san frowned, and looked greatly embarrassed.

Thats I didnt expect to come to a foreign country, so I have no clue. The only thing I know, is that my country is just across the sea

Sea? What is the name of your country?

When Al asked, as if she had noticed something, Mamorigami-san shook his head.

My country doesnt have a name. Thats because, its still in a state of struggling for a small territory Come to think of it, Ive only once heard how my country is called by the outside world. Im sure it was the eastern country, degozaro.

!

I see.

Al sighed at Mamorigami-sans words.

Rather than that, the eastern country it was a mysterious country where I often heard only its name, but I didnt understand the actual situation in there.

Certainly, from the appearance of Mamorigami-san and the atmosphere of his name, I wonder if thats true? I was predicting it, but it was properly told that I was right.

That why, my apologies, but I have to leave this place right away. In my country, the one I serve is waiting for me.

Is that so

It seems that theres a lot of circumstances, and its no use for us to forcibly keep you here. This place is our home land, and theres nothing we can do.

As Al says, were here in Southern for sightseeing, so we cant help very much.

Then, Saria raises her hand.

Yes! Then, why dont we ask about a ship in the guild?

Eh?

Mamorigami-san came from the other side of the sea, right? Then, I dont think you can go home without a ship!

Well.

If theres something we could help, isnt it like to ask where a ship is?

As Saria says, it looks like we can do that.

Fortunately, we came to this place earlier, so we know a little about the land, and the location of the guild branch perfectly.

For that reason, we would like to assist you with the information to a ship, but

Tha,thats right! Im grateful that you were just helping me, but I cant give you something in return

Now now, if you have to hurry home, then come and go obediently here with us.

It seems that he was thinking about something with Als words, and Mamorigami-san nodded with a hesitating look.

Im indebted. By all means, I beg you.

While caring for Mamorigami-san, who hasnt returned to his normal condition yet, we moved to the Guild Branch of Southern.
