Reincarnated Young Lady Aims to Be an Adventurer - Volume 6 Chapter 103
Translator: Joy | Editor: Joy
The transmission magic from father, elder brother, Enrique, and Eris came all at once, telling me about the Trundle incident.
Since this has happened, Granzeus may be targeted as well. Papa and elder brother should protect the mansion and territory. I told them that I’m on my way.
I released a light blue butterfly to Ghilane. In a few minutes, he and Ash rushed to 『The Palace of the Festival Eve Vigil』. The date will soon change.
“Ghilane, I’m going to go.”
“Are you ready?”
“I’m always…..ready.”
My magic room, <Living Alone> is always ready to the point that it’s sad.
“Take Ash with you”
“But…..”
“Sera!”
“Un…..thank you”
“I will go soon”
“It’s okay if you come after I understand the situation. This time… I also have Miyu. Lu, I want to call Miyu. What should I do? I need the new magic I have with Miyu. Is it impossible because she is training?”
『There is no training that takes priority over the contractor’s important affair. And also for Miyu, the green swamp in Trundle is her sacred place. Since she can feel your location, she will be able to return immediately. I will contact her now』
『Wait! Tell them to go into hiding! Miyu’s presence will be kept from the enemy until the very last minute. 』
『………Ok. Miyu has started to fly. Miyu was a candidate for a spy. She’ll conceal herself. 』
Lu shined brightly and returns to adult size.
Before I got on, I turned to look back at Ghilane and I was in his embrace.
“… This time make sure to call. Don’t forget. If it’s for Sera, both I and Galle will move without hesitation. “
“Yeah. I will contact you.”
Ghilane’s strongest magic power immediately covers my body and he kissed me naturally. Even though I have only kissed him several times, it now seems natural to accept his kiss. I also gently turn my arm around Ghilane’s neck and gently infuse my magic. There is no guarantee that we can meet again in this world. I don’t have any spare time to feel embarrassed. Wholeheartedly, I hope that Ghilane would feel peaceful even if I weren’t there……maybe he realized my thoughts as I felt that he put even more strength to the arms that are hugging me.
Ghilane traced my cheeks regretfully and brought our foreheads together.
“Remember. I am not complete without you.”
“……I know. I’ll take good care of myself. You too, Ghilane. You have to eat the cake I made for you, okay.”
Ghilane quickly takes off his jet-black cloak and wraps it around my unsexy outfit of unbleached shirt, black pants, and boots that blend in with the darkness. It feels like the cloak is going to be attached to the floor. So that it won’t come off, it’s fastened tightly around my throat. The fingers slide across my collarbone, lifting my plate, and kissed it. It glows blue as always.
“Should I just…… hide it in my bosom……”
I couldn’t answer Ghilane’s small muttering.
Ash took off into the darkness of the night with a thud.
Trundle allowed the attack to happen. Impossible. That means that something has happened to my grandmother.
『Let’s go.』
I jumped on Lu. Like my hair, which I didn’t have time to tie up, fluttered. We started to head north.
◇◇◇
We arrived soundlessly during the darkest hours of the night. Ash was also waiting.
The Trundle mansion that I had become accustomed to since I was a child was half burnt down. I had to stop myself from crying.
”Princess!”
Grandmother’s grass appears quickly and kneels in front of me.
“Let’s go to grandmother’s side.”
“Yes!”
There is a hidden room in the basement of the storage room that is behind the mansion. It seems that it was also connected to the main building of the mansion.
In the room, there were the familiar faces of my grandmother’s steward Oaks and two of her close aides, who looked at me, contorted their faces in frustration, and bowed their heads.
『Elsa….. 』
Lu’s words are sucked into the darkness.
……………..Why? Words just cannot come out of my mouth.
Grandmother is lying on the sofa. Her eyes are sunken, her body got skinny, and her beautiful chestnut-colored hair had turned gray.
She’s alive! However, wrinkles started to gather between my eyebrows and I started to suffer.
“Princess!”
“Sieg! What is happening! Why, why didn’t you call me!!!”
I grabbed grandma’s hand and kneeled beside her while rebuking Sieg loudly!
“The Lord of Trundle…… must not show…… any weakness…”
Grandpa Sieg said that with a tearful smile on his face and lovingly stroked grandmother’s head.
“……Explain briefly.”
“Elsa….of course she was saddened by the princess’s departure, but she protected Trundle even more firmly, believing that the princess was safe. She danced and rejoiced with me when the saintess came and gave us information about the princess. Then a while later…… something happened. Suddenly, she stopped showing up and she only gave the order to send messengers. Even when I visited her, I couldn’t see her. I had to hand over the princess’s letter to her, so I kicked off the private army and entered Elsa’s room…… to find her in this state. I was about to call a doctor, but then she thrust a knife to me. Do you want to put Trundle in danger.”
“……….”
“We still do not know where the information leaked. I was targeted, and today, this is the result.”
“……But, how can the center get knocked down!
“Half a day before the fire was set here, hailstones fell all at once in the northern part of the territory. It was the size of a pebble and was quite large. It caused extensive damage to the livestock and crops. Half of the war forces were assigned there. When the defenses here were a bit thin……the range of the hailstones got wider and even reached here……it seems as if even the weather was being set up.
…..it’s Tarl-sama.
『…Sera, it’s a curse. 』
Lu scrutinizes his eyes.
………Appraisal!
It gave a blue shine.
Elsa Trundle (Trundle Lord, Strategist, S-class Adventurer, Rudalilfena, Valet of Serafiona)
State: Curse, Mental and Physical Breakdown
Skills: Perception, Dagger, Poison Nullifier, Strong Arm, Wise Man, Guardian Deity
A curse……not an illness or injury. Your body was healthy, so my spell couldn’t protect you?
『Sera, put up a guard in the shed』
Prompted by Ash, I was stunned, but I put up all kinds of cloaking magic, including soundproofing, sightproofing, defense, and recognition inhibition. This place was just targeted by the enemy. As soon as they confirmed that it took a click, Lu and Ash released the illusion. At the same time, Miyu and the Small Dragon appear from the gap at the same time. Miyu’s azure color became stronger and more beautiful. She was in a pocket-size figure and rode on the head of Papa Dragon.
With the appearance of the three holy beasts, the stagnant, burnt-smelling underground space was purified all at once. The space was so enveloped in holy air to the point that it was almost painful.
”What………”
Grandpa Sieg and grandmother’s close aides, including Oaks, gasped. As expected of the Leader of Trundle. I think I saw it.
”Princess……..Elsa…….the one Elsa risked her life to protect…….was that what you meant……”
When I ran up to my grandmother to try to heal her.
『Wait! We need to find the one who cast the curse! 』
“Ash, but! She’s in so much pain!”
『It won’t take time… 』
Ash closed his eyes. Miyu and Small Dragon-sama look at grandmother.
“Who started the fire?”
One of Granny’s close aides replied in a small voice.
“We have captured six mages.”
“Did he confess?”
“No. We don’t want him to commit suicide, so we’ve put him to sleep.”
『Sera, I’ll go. I won’t lie to you. 』
“Lead me there”
“Yes!”
『U, Uwaaaa!』
Miyu is suddenly upset. The shed is shaking. I and Lu also stopped walking.
“Miyu?”
『This curse………is my…….』
“Miyu?”
『What do you mean?』
Miyu started to speak bit by bit as she stares at grandmother dumbfoundedly.
『When I was traveling with Sera-chama, assassins attacked us over and over again, but after we fought them off, Sera-chama did not allow them to be killed. I was so frustrated that I put a curse on him that would make him suffer for the rest of his life.』
“Miyu-tan?”
『That curse, for some reason, is cast on the Lord. Why is, my curse, on the Lord, who was very kind, to the forest….』
『…the curse of the returning assassin has been analyzed… and they have actually managed to master it? 』
“Ash, is something like that possible?’
『Something like that is not possible. You’d be a heretical existence if you could.』
Lu roars.
Cheat……
『Miyu, Small Dragon, you guys know the curse better than me. Find the source!』
『Ha!』
『Yes!』
Lu commanded in a stern voice.
Miyu shines and becomes a size smaller than Small Dragon-sama, then she started analyzing with a serious face.
I switch places with Sieg and kiss my grandmother’s cheek and forehead over and over again. I hugged grandmother’s head.
“Grandmother…… I’m sorry…… I’m so sorry……”
Grandmother’s mouth moved a bit. She is saying something. I put my ears close to her.
“Aa…… Rurifi…… how could you……”
Mother’s name?
“Miyu, what kind of curse is a curse that will make you suffer for the rest of your life?”
『Having nightmares…… for the rest of their life. The most painful experience they have ever had being repeated over and over again…… 』
Miyu’s face contorted.
Grandmother………she keeps repeating over and over again the time when mother died…
There is no way she can sleep……
Aa…..
『It’s that guy!!! 』
Small Dragon-sama snorted in a low voice.
『Did you find it?’』
『The little girl who almost killed me……when Lu-sama and Serafiona-sama rescued me. 』
Maribelle…
『Miyu, Small Dragon, double the power of the curse and send it back to her! And Miyu, you are now a holy beast that governs the East. Use your magic so that she will never again be able to steal our magic. Make them pay for their sins against us. 』
『Yes.』
Miyu’s eyes glazed over with tears in her eyes as she made her way to her grandmother’s side. Master Small Dragon followed behind her. The two of them breathed together, their eyes widened, and they showered their magic power towards Granny.
A lot of black spots gushed out of Granny’s body and clumped together into a single pitch-black ball on top of her stomach. Miyu muttered something in anger at the ball and let out a breath. The ball became so black that I couldn’t see through it.
『You should regret having used me. Go! 』
Poof, the ball is gone.
Ash rides on grandmother’s chest and gently places a tear on her lips. It seeps into her dry lips.
“Ash, is it okay? Thank you……..”
『If we are to ascertain the source of this problem, it is our Miyu. Also, Elsa is an irreplaceable … woman-parent of Sera, is she not? 』
I nodded my head.
『You fool! Why did you disobey Lady Serafiona! Don’t say it was for the best! I’ve taught you many times that curses are double-edged! Miyu’s careless actions caused distress to her benefactor and contractor, Serafiona -sama, and the Lord who is fully responsible for protecting all the creatures of Trundle!』
Small Dragon-sama blew off his daughter who had become the one of the Fourth Heavens with his tail.
『Father…….I’m truly sorry……. 』
“Wai, Small Dragon-sama! Don’t get mad anymore! If it wasn’t for Miyu, I wouldn’t be able to stay alive in Marshe!”
Miyu has done nothing wrong. It’s my fault for not being able to tell her to kill them. That’s wrong, in the end, it’s still 100% Maribel’s fault.
『Small Dragon, please suppress your anger. Miyu protected Sera as best as she could in my absence. And from now on, she will grow up even more and more. Right, Miyu? 』
『Y, Yes!』
『Serafiona -sama and Lu-sama are too soft on Miyu……』
Small Dragon-sama’s lecture was still going on, but I turned to my grandmother. Thanks to Ash, her face has gained some color.
”Ruri…… Rurifi.…..”
“Mother is right here. Rest well.”
” Rurifi …… but, I have to……protect……your……my……treasure……Serafi……”
Grandma…..
I bite my lip and bear it.
This is no time to cry.
I have to resolve myself.
“Mother, I will take responsibility, and protect everything you have protected.”
……From now on, I will protect grandmother.
The wrinkles between her eyebrows finally disappears…… and she relaxes her grim mouth…… and falls asleep.
I put the spell on her closed eyelids and kissed it. Grandmother smiled a little.
I drape my special fluffy blanket over my grandmother’s body and take away the pitch-black sheathed sword that she holds in her arms……………..
Grandpa Sieg stares at me with a mysterious look on his face.
I stand up and draw the black sword, the unbreakable sword that is said to have been forged by our distant ancestors themselves.
”From this time forward, I declare that Serafiona Granzeus is the Lord of Trundle. Although I do not have the name of Trundle, I am the direct grandson of Elsa Trundle, the predecessor of Gainz Trundle. I love this wild land of Trundle, and just like my ancestors with black eyes, I pledge to protect this land by standing in battle and drawing my sword. Thus, I deem the act of attacking my beloved ancestors and attacking my territory as a declaration of war. From now on, Trundle will enter into a battle stance…… We will not forgive those who trespass to Trundle.”
Lu and Miyu swoop in on both of my sides. Ash spreads his wings wide once and jumps onto my left shoulder.
Sieg Guild Master, Oaks, and Grandmother’s close aides kneeled down. Even Small Dragon-sama is bowing his head.
「「「「「Our lives, along with our new lord Serafiona-sama…’」」」」」
The night dawns.
