Chapter 187: Reunion
"Wince, I'll leave the processing and collection to you!"
"Eh? Ah! Shiro-san!"
Saying that, Shiro-san went to the airship by himself.
"Mother, processing and collection... should I do it?"
That's right.
Every single dismembered corpse.
Every item soaked in a puddle of blood.
It's going to be hard to find anything useful.
"Is Shiro-dono going to be okay? He seems to be losing his cool."
"It's the opposite. Rather, he's being calm, it would be correct to say that his nerves are sharpened."
If that really is an airship owned by Prelati
Or it is highly likely their companions
If that's the case, the correct answer is to get rid of it immediately.
"If it's owned by an enemy we know of, they're plotting something bad. It's like the blue water."
"Is it related to the blue water?"
"Didn't we say something about that?"
"You didn't say that. I heard about the blue water, but I haven't heard about the culprit."
"Well, that's what I'm saying."
I'm not going to go into detail about Prelati
They're going to question Shiro-san's origins.
"Uu... help me."
"There are survivors."
But it's already too late.
He's missing from the navel down.
"Oya? Your internal organs are fine. That's good. You'll live a while longer."
"Please... I don't want to die."
The soldier still wants to live even though his lower body is right in front of him.
This would be called losing one's cool.
Then I'll use it to my advantage.
"If you want to be saved, answer me. Where do you belong?"
"No, I can't say it..."
"If you don't treat it, you won't be saved, you know? Of course, if you don't tell me, I won't treat you."
"Damn it... it is an order from Minister Shemalua."
"Your goal is?"
"To... secure... the airship."
"What is the identity of that airship?"
"It came... from the sea."
"I see. Thank you for providing the information."
I cracked the head with an ax that was out of his sight
It's the least I can do.
"I came from outside Geldaria?"
"Looks like it. Then let's take that airship."
"I agree! We can go back to Berdreich!"
Well, as long as we can control it
"Sedona. What about Ginkei?"
"Dormant. I guess it doesn't have enough mana."
Its power source is mana
Ginkei says
It also requires a huge amount of monsters, and whether it can move for half a day after devouring dozens of monsters' magic stones.
"Does it seem like the further it gets away from the center, the more it consumes?”
"It seems so"
Whenever we need information, Shiro-san will pour mana into Ginkei and wake it up.
That's all we can do right now.
"Let's join up with Shiro-san. Sedona, take care of Julius' escort."
----------------
Sunset has begun.
The inside of the airship is dark so I can't see it clearly
But I feel a presence
One person is exuding killing intent
Is it inviting me?
Is it trying to buy time for its companions to escape?
I make my way to the center of the scattered cargo.
I know it's close by
I hear someone breathing.
I heard a wind from behind!
"!"
I knock something off with my sword.
It's probably a piece of metal.
It falls to the floor and makes a loud noise.
"Fuu!"
A slight exhale of breath.
Before I knew it, someone was within reach
The opponent's sword glints in the faint light.
I can't make it with my large sword, so I clamp it between my knees and elbows.
"No way!"
"Naive!"
I grab his arm and tries to break his elbow.
"Not yet!"
Saying that, he tries to put his leg over my shoulder.
It's an armbar.
He decides this is a bad idea, so he pulls his hand away and moves out of range.
"I got you! Lightning travels through my body and shoots down malice. [Thunder lance]!"
A rare lightning magic is unleashed.
Surely, if this thing is going to fly at someone from a distance, they won't stand a chance.
"Thunder Lance!"
I snap my fingers and chant the magic's name.
Sorry, stranger warrior.
When it comes to a magic shootout, I have the advantage because I don't need to chant.
"Chantless!"
"Still want to play? I can shoot them all down, you know?"
"...One question."
"What?"
"What is your name?"
I had a strange feeling
When I was asked my name, I tried to answer with a pseudonym like before, Ludwig.
But I thought I shouldn't do that
"...Shiro. Shiro Edgeworth."
And then I realized that was the right answer.
"...I am ...Shisu. Shisu... Edge... worth."
In the darkness, his voice was trembling, as if he were about to cry.
"...I see, you've grown. Shisu."
It's a pity that at this age he can't seem to hold back his tears
"Father!"
Never show this sight to anyone
Not to Wince, not to Sedona.
That's how pathetic he looked.
