Chapter 92

Chapter 92

Black Dragonslayers .

These were the ones who were claiming as so .

It feels like they’re trying to subtly envelop Urza’s Dragonslayer .

The customers sitting around a wide desk turned over their seats .

Ashinto sat down there .

[Quickly bring in the alcohol! We are Urza’s saviours, you know!?]

Rumours are just rumours .

Proclaiming yourself as someone is just the same, just self-proclaims .

However, I really can’t say that what they said is a lie .

Perhaps, it may really be them that killed the Five Dragon Warriors .

There is no one who could prove the truth .

Yes— Aside from the people who were on that place themselves .

[……………]

Even so, they really look imposing .

They don’t look like they’re trying to sneak away .

The destruction of the strongest knights .

The country would likely move after they knew about what these people are saying .

Or perhaps, were they already involved with Urza…?

The customers in the tavern all look like they don’t want to get involved with them .

I started observing the members of Ashinto .

At the moment, I couldn’t feel any kind of intimidation that I felt from Civit .

Certainly .

As far as the others could see, I’m just enjoying my time in the tavern .

I guess it should be fine if I ignore them for now .

I want them to do their best at being my decoy for the time being .

The customers in the tavern gradually returning back at their own pace .

Drinking down my glass of water, I told Seras .

[After finishing your meal, should we return to the inn?]

Just in case, I tried remembering the faces of the members of Ashinto that came inside the store .

[I understand . Please wait a minute . ]

I waited for Seras to finish eating .

It’s not that she has only eaten a little bit of her food .

It’s just that, she has only been putting small amount of food in each bite .

Therefore, her eating speed was slow .

Seras tries to bring her food into her mouth in a hurry .

[…it’s fine if you take your time, you know . ]

[I- I’m sorry . Omn… nom, nom…]

While waiting for her, I tried listening to the conversation of the people nearby .

[Are they that aforementioned Black Dragonslayers?]

[Did they kill them with their curses?]

[Well… Even if you ask them how they killed those guys, they would just say “It was thanks to our curses . ”]

I see .

So, that’s how they perceived it .

[Even if they had killed the others, what about those Five Dragon Warriors? Let’s just say, who the heck could do that? They were already famous for their strength even before they appeared here in Urza, right? Then, that previous circumstances that you’ve told about Seras Ashrain’s simultaneous death with the Five Dragon Warriors earlier wouldn’t happen now . ]

[Onmffff…]

Seras looks like she felt some pain in her chest as she pounded on it with her hand .

It seems that she’s not used to suddenly hearing her name .

You could subtly see some cute points in her .

The men’s conversation continues .

[The one who have beaten the Five Dragon Warriors but haven’t appeared today, could it be Blood Colosseum’s Leopard?]

[Ah, that woman really is a monster . ]

It seems that they had a member who was a celebrity in the Blood Colosseum .

[Ah, could it be that the Witch of Taboos have appeared?]

[Is it that aforementioned Witch who was said to be living in the Great Ruins? If I remember it correctly, she should be a Dark Elf, right?]

[If you ask me, wouldn’t she be able to use some kind of powerful magic?]

[However, it has already been ten years and no one has ever seen her appearance, you know? I’m talking about living in that terrifying Great Ruins, as for if she’s still living until now—]

[To tell you the truth… There seems to be someone in the royal capital who have met that Witch of Taboos . ]

Hmm?

[Moreover, it was said that he knows where she is . ]

[Is it about that story about where you could meet her in the Great Ruins? Even I knew about that story . ]

[You’re mistaken . He knows her “whereabouts” in the Great Ruins . ]

[Is that guy acquainted with the witch or something?]

[I don’t really know about that… However, don’t be surprised at what you’re going to hear . As for the guy who knows the whereabouts of the Witch of Taboos, he’s kept it hidden for some reason—]

[Fuuueeee… I’m not interested in that kind of story . I don’t even know whether she really lives there, we’re talking about a Dark Elf here . ]

The other man broke into what the other guy was saying .

[Anyway, have you heard about how that prostitute Abrohm was summoned for imitating the attire of Alion’s goddess?]

[Heee…? And?]

[Even though their faces don’t resemble at all, but the resentful Duke Zuan-sama killed the prostitute on the spot . ]

[Hahahaha! And, this news was revealed to the public!]

[And, you know what happened? Duke-sama demanded for the next prostitute to imitate Jonato’s saint—]

Their conversation have gone astray .

There’s someone who was acquainted with the Witch of Taboos .

I want to ask who it is .

Grabbing some silver coins in hand, I stood up from my seat .

[Omnomn… Miword?]

[I’m just going to do something for a bit . ]

I placed my hands on the empty seat beside the men’s table .

[Excuse me . Would it be fine if I sit here?]

[Ah? What is it, sonny?]

[I’m sorry for being abrupt . I would really like to hear the story about that person who have met the Witch of Taboos . ]

[Ahh~?]

The man who have been talking about that story of that prostitute looks really displeased .

[What’s with you, bastard? Suddenly interrupting—]

[Ah, before that, how about a cup of your favorite sake… No, make that two cups . Also, please feel free to call one dish . Of course, it would also be my treat . ]

The discontent in the man’s face completely disappears .

[—Ha, hahahaha! That’s right, that’s right! That story about the Witch of Taboos! Sorry about that! I’m sorry that I suddenly interrupted! To tell you the truth, I’m also interested about that!]

The other guy also became eager .

[Alright, young man! It’s a real pleasure to satisfy the intellectual curiosity of young people! Okay, this uncle would be telling it for you! Oi nee-chan, we’ll have another of the same alcohol!]

Encouraged by the other party, I’ve also sat on the chair .

They were quite easy as I expected .

[The one who had met the Witch of Taboos is the Monroy’s strongest Blood Champion . Her name is Eve Speed . ]

Blood Champion huh…

[Is Eve-san different from the person you said that held the information about her “whereabouts in the Golden Demon Zone” . ]

[That’s not it . Rather, she knows which area of the Demon Zone it is . It was said that this information is only leaked towards their fellow Blood Champions . ]

[Is there a possibility that this is just false information…?]

[It’s possible! Even though that’s the case, we’ll still be drinking this alcohol, you know~?!]

[Yes, of course . ]

[Alright, that’s what I like!]

The men started laughing loudly .

[………… . . ]

The whereabouts of the Witch of Taboos .

It was said that she would be found in the Golden Demon Zone .

It seems that she is also a Dark Elf .

This should be all of the information I’ve obtained huh…

Let’s see…

It may be a good idea to meet that Blood Champion at least once .

[How can I meet Eve-san?]

[Wouldn’t you meet her if you just go in the Blood Colosseum? That monster, I’m sure that she should be sleeping already around this time . Well, I would usually be just loitering around the area . If you could talk with Duke Zuan who manages the Blood Colosseum, you should easily be able to meet her at that time . ]

[I see, thank you very much . I will be going to–]

The large door of the inn flung open .

The man sitting next to me then puts his hand on my shoulder .

[Oh, that’s quite an excellent timing . You have quite the luck in you, young man . ]

Light armor made of leather .

She’s armed with a sword on his waist .

She’s quite tall and slender .

Though she’s slender, it seems you could still see the tightened muscles on her limbs .

The first thing that caught my attention though was another part of her body .

It’s her leopard head .

It doesn’t look like a human being wearing a beast-like helmet .

I’ve already seen a leopard head online before .

I could feel that head was almost the same as her .

It’s a bipedal humanoid .

Fur that’s mixed in shades of yellow, black, and brown .

Is it alright to say that she’s a were-leopard?

Based on her body shape, she looks like a woman…

[Hahaha, is this your first time seeing a were-leopard? Well, they really are a rare race to see . It’s impossible to say that you’re not astonished at seeing her for the first time . ]

Pat…

The man next to me patted my shoulder .

[That’s Monroy’s strongest Blood Champion, Eve Speed . ]
