The last reply was said full of emotion in a tearful voice. Hajime, then passed on Pal’s groups information on to the Hauria who are trembling with emotion. In other words, Having found that Cam’s group invaded the Imperial castle, they will also invade it. And, there is a request for assistance.
[Indeed. …..The message from “Baltoferd of Certain Death” has definitely been received. We express our thanks, boss]
[.............Na, by the way…..what is your second name?]
[Ha? Me? …...Fu, of course. Like the falling thunder, an unpredictable thunderclap striking down his foes, I am “Iorunikusu of the Thunder Blade” *Yeah, these lines are iffy…it probably sounds out into something, but for the life of me i don’t know*! desu~!]
[......Is that so]
It seems that it’s already too late for the Hauria tribe.They’ve been completely infected. I regret that I didn’t stop this from spreading beyond Baltoferd of Certain Death.
Hajime pulled himself together and asked “Iorunikusu of the Thunder Blade”.
[There seems to have been members outside of the Hauria tribe thats been trained, now, how many exactly?]
[......Rest assured…. Many brave young people from tribes that have good relations to our Hauria tribe have heard of the rumors and begged to be trained….. Our actual combat force goes up to 122 soldiers]
Not only Hajime, but also Yue and Shia were surprised, if thats the case then they’ve increased their numbers by a fair bit. Hajime’s intentions aren’t understood so “Iorunikusu of the Thunder Blade” has a doubtful face.
[we can carry all of the members at one time. …..Io, Runikusu. Quickly gather all the guys who want to follow us to the Imperial capital. I want to see everyone together here]
[Ha? Ha! Roger! At once!]
It appeared that “Iorunikusu of the Thunder Blade” didn’t understand right away and asked back with a questionable face, then he guessed that it meant that they would be going with Hajime to the Imperial capital, he saluted and immediately left to gather the other members.
“Io…..of the Thunder Blade, Hajime returned in order to go to the great labyrinth, it appears he didn’t think that Hajime would actually help them. It seems he shaken up by the unexpected words.
And, Io wasn’t the only one who was surprised, Shia who stood next to Hajime was also surprised. Her eyes are open wide, and her rabbit ears are standing up straight! She stares at Hajime.
[Ha, Hajime-san…..the great labyrinth…..]
[You’re worried about Cam’s group right?]
[U….that….sono….but….]
Hajime hit the bulls-eye so Shia shuts her mouth.
Hajime’s purpose is the great labyrinth, Cam’s circumstances are unrelated, Shia was unable to say that she wanted to search for Cam’s whereabouts, entering the Imperial capital which would prove too troublesome. Moreover, Cam wasn’t kidnapped, he went in on his own accord. If anything its his own responsibility.
Shia also decided to follow whatever Hajime’s decisions were. Just like her father had his own path, Shia had hers.
However, still, if you know that your family members whereabouts are unknown, naturally you would be worried and search. Because of the anxiety being shown on Shia’s face - Yue, Hajime, and the rest understood.
Hajime, walks up right beside Shia, who was quiet because she was grateful that extra time would be used, and places his hands on her cheeks.
[Fe?]
To Hajime’s sudden action, Shia absentmindedly let out a voice with a confused face. While looking straight into Shia’s eyes with persuading power, Hajime smiled and said.
[Shia, that anxious face doesn’t suit you. If you’re worried about Cam, just say you’re worried]
[B, but….]
[No buts. Now, what do you want to do? You’ve always just said whatever you wanted. What happened to your impudence from our first meeting? To begin with, if you’re not smiling….. I wont be able to contain my anger]
[Hajime-san…..]
Though it was snappishly said, it’s obvious that he worried about Shia in all truths. The words that Shia yearned for. She understood, Shia places her hand on top of Hajime’s hand thats on her cheek. Her eyes began to moisten with joy and love.
[You might not realise this…...but this, sono, what. it’s enough, that i think that you’re important. Therefore, Cheer up…. I won’t hesitate to do my best]
[Hajime-san, I…..]
[Just say what you want to say. Because i will definitely listen]
With a gentle warmth transmitting to her cheek, to the eyes that looked straight back into her eyes, Shia’s words that she locked up within herself began to spring forth.
[.......I, I’m worried about father desuu~. …..Just one look is fine, I want to see his safe appearance desuu~.]
[Really, you only had to say that in the beginning. Now, did you think i would decline?]
[Wa, I, I didn’t mean for it to be like that! Mou, Hajime-san is truly annoying!]
Though she puffs her cheeks as if sulking, stars twinkled brightly in her eyes, her cheeks were dyed pink, and the face of a woman who was looking at her boyfriend was seen. To say it out, happy feelings were overflowing from her whole body.
Shia, though it was not intentional to be reserved with Hajime, due to the increase of women who thinks about Hajime(rivals), She unconsciously held back to increase her ratings.
Everything was blown away at Hajime’s words, “You’re important.”
When this Shia was seen, the women reacts.
[.....N~. Shia, cute]
And, Yue watches Shia heartwarmingly. Just like an older sister.
[I ask of you, I’ll be happy if you occasionally abuse me~]
And, Teio gave off an impression that couldn’t be anything but perverted. will there be a way to cure her serious illness.
[Uu~, how enviable~]
[well, I would be glad if the man I liked said that to me…...]
[Na, Nagumo-kun…..Your very straight forward. I’ve changed my opinion of you. Suzu is shocked]
[Shia…...is enviable, I also towards Hajime……]
The order is Kaori, Shizuku, Suzu, and why Arutena as well.
Then, at last, Shia notices her surroundings, Her face is dyed crimson red and she covers it up with both hands. However, her shame can’t hold back her joy, her rabbit ears were waving happily, even her tail was moving according to her joy ~Rifu~.
Then, Io came over at just the right time. It seems that the preparations of the Hauria tribe is finished. It was unreasonably quick.
Alfrerick and Arutena were seeing off Hajime’s group as they left on Feruniru*the airship* and flew off towards the Imperial capital.
