Chapter 119

MILE CHAPTER 119: EXPLANATION

On the next day, for some reason 「Red Oath」woke up late . They ate a late breakfast and headed to the guild .

Pauline’s mood was very bad and her eyes were still red .

***

Last night, Rena, Maevis and Mile were somewhat frantically talking with Pauline to calm her down .

「Why are you leaving me?

At that time, and this time too!

am I an unwanted child?! uwah!」(Pauline)

「Shhhhh…」(Rena + Mile + Maevis)

One shouldn’t speak loudly at midnight in a room with thin walls like this .

It doesn’t mean that the other guests will complain .

Actually, no-one will complain .

Instead, it’s no doubt that all other guests who woke up were probably listening carefully by pushing their ears against the walls .

For better or worse, 「Red Oath」is quite famous .

And just in case there’s information that Mile didn’t want others to hear,

she hurriedly set a sound proof magic barrier in the room .

Pauline was always smiling and planning many things for the party, and the three others were always puzzled how she always acted mature . That’s why they often think 「Because it’s Pauline, she will be okay」

But actually they were expecting too much from Pauline, who is only 15 years old .

「No, no, I didn’t try to leave Pauline alone!

I just realized that Mile was trying to escape by herself, so I tried to follow . Well, I was worried …

And then, it happened that Maevis also noticed, so she waited for Mile outside the inn…」(Rena)

「And you three were going to leave as it was . If you two already noticed, why didn’t you tell me! I wasn’t notified! You wanted to leave me alone, right?」(Pauline)

「…… 」(Rena + Maevis)

And Mile was pretending as if she wasn’t involved .

Since she tried to leave alone, she treated the three others equal, so there’s no need to worry .

People often say it as 「Carelessness」Or 「Wishful thinking」

Pauline turns her face from Rena to Mile .

「Just what did you plan to do? Speak everything right now!」 (Pauline)

「Good luck!」 (Rena)

… Mile’s wish was betrayed .

「Actually I was from a nobleman’s family in another country,

I am being chased by my family with a succession problem …」 (Mile)

「We heard it!」 (Rena + Maevis + Pauline)

「I was chased by the Royalty, too… 」 (Mile)

「We heard it!」 (Rena + Maevis + Pauline)

「I have absurd magical power and knowledge of magic …」 (Mile)

「We knew!」 (Rena + Maevis + Pauline)

「Huh…!?」

The God never forbid Mile to talk to anyone in this world about Nano-machines nor the fundamental of magic, he had told Mile to live freely as she liked . It was Mile who decided it .

「… I was concerned about the true purpose of the Ancient Dragons …

However, I don’t even know if we can realize their plans even after hundreds of years .

It was like a random journey without destination, it would take a lot of time and we may not even get any result .

I couldn’t invite all of you to such a random journey for my sake .

So I tried leaving the party and planned to go alone … 」 (Mile)

With Mile’s explanation, Maevis seemed to be convinced, but Rena doesn’t stop with just that .

「That’s it? Is that the only reason? There must be some other purpose!」(Rena)

「Well, yes! On the way, If I find a good man somewhere, I intend to start a happy life with him!」 (Mile)

Rena was agape with Mile’s reply . For some reason the three of them are just silently looking at Mile .

***

「We will leave the capital tomorrow」 (Maevis)

「Oh, yes, which request will you accept?」 (Leria)

「No, We are planning to go on a journey visiting different countries, not going out for request」 (Maevis)

「Eeeehhhhhhh~!!」 (The Whole Guild)

Not only Leria but also the Hunters and other guild staff members who were listening to Maevis’s declaration raised a loud voice .

「Wh…a…t … Anyway come here! Let’s have a talk with Guild Master!」 (Leria)

The girls were kept waiting in front of the guild master’s room .

Only Leria went in to explain .

After that, they also came into the room .

「What does this mean?

You girls already left the hunter training school!

But you must work for the guild at least 5 years to repay the cost attending the school for free .

It’s also a rule that you belong to the Kingdom and the guild…」 (Guild Master)

The Guild Master shouted angrily at the Red Oath party .

「Ah… yes, we know」 (Mile)

「Well, if you know, why are you leaving the country on a journey!

Why are you still going outside the country when you know that you belong to the country?」 (Guild Master)

With Mile’s lightly reply, the guild master is angrier .

「Yes, indeed .

There’s a rule that we「belong to this country for five years」and we will follow that rule properly」 (Mile)

「……Huh?」 (G . M)

「Yes, we 「Red Oath」 are the hunters who「belong to the Hunter Guild in the Tirus Kingdom」 (T . N: first time we know the country name)

However, we just need to travel for a long while」 (Mile)

「What …」 (G . M)

「It is normal for hunters to go to another country by doing escort requests, mercenary rare item collection requests, etc .

While doing so, we will also undertake local requests to earn money and get a return trip from the local escort request .

Weren’t other hunters also doing that?

We 「Red Oath」belong to the Hunter Guild of the Tirus Kingdom till the very end .

However, we went away to work on a request which took a long time, and we got back late as we just received local requests one after another .

It’s just that .

We will keep the record document as hunters from this guild and we will come back from time to time .

Besides, Maevis and Pauline’s parents’ homes are in this country」 (Mile)

「Ku~…」 (G . M)

After that, the girls kept “persuading” and finally the Guild Master broke .

In the middle of the discussion,

Mile said: 「Well, let’s just do some horned rabbit hunting tomorrow, until the rabbits around here go extinct」

Rena said: 「In the mean time, we should also hunt about 300 rock lizards or so . We will sell about 20 to the guild with normal price and then immediately sell about the rest to the market with half the price …」

***

「The last thing is explain to the inn…」 (Mile)

「Ah……」 (Maevis + Rena + Pauline)

As Mile said that, Maevis nodded gloomily . Rena and Pauline’s expression became dark .

The inn’s keeper couple will understand because they are adults in business .

The problem is with Reni-chan . She will end up crying .

Everyone thought so .

Somehow everyone was a little sad .
