Chapter 357 – Cruz Goes to Elkay
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
「Okay, let’s go to Elkay!」
Cruz said, proudly.
Yureena looked a little flustered and said, 「Wait a second. Cruz, you shouldn’t be seen in the old Demon Lord’s realm!」
「Whaaa?」
Cruz puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction.
Cruz DID however have a huge presence in politics in the kingdom.
If she entered the old Demon Lord’s realm, everyone would be up in arms.
「But, I don’t think it’s that bad of a thing, the way the town is going.」
「You’re probably right…」
「Well, if you say that, Al…」
Telling Cruz not to enter the old Demon Lord’s place might be true in peacetime.
She shouldn’t get people upset if they’re all relaxed and then she suddenly shows up.
However, now some demon who called himself the Demon Lord showed up and took over the castle and the town.
He turned the kingdom’s agent into a zombie.
If the hero returns to Elkay now, the instability would probably go away.
「It might be better to have the hero there. Things will settle down a lot faster.」
「True. I think it probably will.」
「Mooo」
Yureena agreed, after thinking a bit.
Next to her Moofy looked a bit confused by the situation.
「But if the hero shows up like this, they’re going to wonder how Cruz got here without anyone seeing her arrive…」
Yureena was worried about people finding out that the transport rings were connecting Elkay and the capital.
There was no way to hide them, but we definitely should hide the fact that we could quickly produce them.
It wouldn’t be a huge problem if they were revealed, but people would be begging us to use them.
Then they’d be begging us to make them for us as well.
And I don’t think anyone but the military should be able to use transports like that easily.
After thinking a bit, I had a plan, 「Maybe she can just wear the lion mask?」
「Sounds good!」
「I think that’s fine.」
So that’s what we decided on, and we went to Elkay.
「Old man, welcome back.」
「Did you eat, Kay?」
「I did! Steff made some for me.」
「Good to hear.」
Sounds like Steff knows how to cook as well.
Kay looked behind me.
「Hey, there’s some coowl person here…」
「Yeah, I’m cool Cruz.」
「Wow, the wion can speak.」
Kay was so happy, she ran up and grabbed Cruz.
Cruz picked up Kay and swung her around.
Then Steff came up to us, 「Master, you’re back.」
「Steff, thanks for feeding them. Did you take some time to practice your magic?」
She was my student in learning advanced magic.
But it was bad that I had little time to train her.
「O…of course. I’ve made more of an effort than when I was in Mulg.」
「If you need help in learning magic circles, you can ask any time.」
「Thank you Vi-Vi.」
After that, Kay jumped down and hugged Vi-Vi as well.
Seems she really liked Vi-Vi too.
「What is it Kay?」
「I wanna study magic with both of you.」
Kay asked, but Steff bowed her head and frowned, 「Sorry, but I myself am training in magic…I don’t think I’m good enough to teach others magic.」
「No, no need to be sorry about it, you’re a great magician. You can teach her the basics, right?」
「If you say so, master.」
Steff was actually pretty decent as an adventuring magician.
She had also achieved quite a bit at the magician’s guild.
So I told Steff, 「Well, since the area is a bit safer, you can probably work as an adventurer, too.」
「I was thinking about that, but…」
「If it gets really bad, then you can always run away through the transport circle.」
Tom was cleaning the inn, and said, 「If Steff wants to do it, she can go ahead and do it. Kay and I can take care of ourselves.」
Steff thought a bit, 「But, it’s still unsafe. Damian…well…now he’s quiet, but…」
「No need to worry, just do what you desire.」
「Understood. Master, please don’t bother over me.」
As we talked it over, Kay looked interested in Millia.
She was hanging on to Vi-Vi, and asked, 「Who is that girl?」
「I’m Millia, nice to meet you.」
Millia then bowed politely.
「Millia’s almost like my big sister.」
「Really? Like a big sister’s big sister…」
Seems that Kay okay with it after hearing Yureena’s explanation.
She left Vi-Vi, went over, and took Millia’s hand.
「I’m Tom, and I own this place, and that’s my sister Kay.」
「Heh heh, nice to meet you.」
「Quite a place to be managed by a young boy!」
Millia said, and Tom was a bit embarrassed.
「And I’m Steff, Master Al’s student.」
Steff greeted Millia, while Tom shuffled over and asked, 「Who’s the cool lion mask?」
Tom was probably talking about Cruz.
「I’m cool Cruz!」
「Nice to meet you, cool Cruz.」
So Tom grabbed and shook Cruz’ hand.
Kay looked on happily and then ran up and hugged her.
