Manowa Chapter 175

◎ Hyvern Dukedom, Capital City Deer South, Crielnus Hospital

「Ka~za~ne~~!!」

The first thing that jumped forward were boobies. Plump, large, with a nice appearance; such miracle-like tits hit Kazane's face. There was zero damage. However, Kazane was affected by the status abnormality Suffocation, and she would soon turn red, blue, then finally white. And then she would sleep. Forever.

「Oh, ooooooooh... guh」

That voice was from Lyle. The ending guh was from his younger sister Emily's elbow strike.

As soon as they entered the hospital room, Lyle saw them shaking as Tiara ran to embrace Kazane and reflexively became excited. And he was sanctioned by Emily.

「Jeez, you're so embarrassing.」

Emily's face reddened at her brother's shameless expression. He was a boy. If there were any bouncing nearby, his eyes turning towards them couldn't be helped. It's something that could be overlooked.

「Brother, learn from Naoki.」

Lyle was told, and he looked at Naoki. Certainly, Naoki's face was serenity itself. But after knowing him for two years, Lyle could see through Naoki's poker face. Lyle knew that he was staring at the breasts while pretending he was worried about his sister (although he was serious about that, too). Naoki was a man who knew the trick. So only Lyle, who was bad at it, had to go through a painful experience.

(Dammit! Dammit!!)

Lyle cursed in his mind. Towards Naoki and his own lack of skill. But he knew from past experience that Emily admired Naoki too much to believe him if he tried to share the blame. So he could only cry.

But that was a story of the past.

A sound could be heard.

「If I squeeze, pink brain tissue will come out, right?」

「Hahahaha, no way.」

Naoki said in a cold sweat as he suffered from Yumika's Iron Claw. That was a fresh scene for Lyle. Emily thought (their casual skinship is to that degree) and seemed vexed as she watched that situation, and Tiara also thought (after all, those two) and stared at them while embracing Kazane. By the way, Kazane was weakly struggling. It seemed she had plunged into blue.

「Fuha, I thought I would die.」

Kazane took a deep breath and said after being released from Tiara's breast smothering.

「I'm sorry, Kazane. It's been a long time, so I unconsciously...」

It had been a long time, so she unconsciously tried to kill her. No problem. About half of humanity would be fine with death by tits. Unfortunately, Kazane didn't seem to be in that half.

「It's fine already. Well, it's been four days. It's been a while, Tiara.」

Tiara was overcome with emotion by the smiling Kazane and tried to hug her, but Kazane casually dodged.『Intuition』allowed her to do so. But,

「An」

「Uwa」

Naoki was ahead of her after the evasion. It was increasingly like a rom-com. The aftermath for Emily, Tiara, and Naoki was also a bit of a romantic comedy situation, but that's inconsequential, so that will be disregarded in favor of the story continuing.

Kazane and the others were currently inside Jinrai's Crielnus Hospital room.

After completing the Blue Rifon Fort Recapture quest, Kazane and the others stayed overnight at Crimiona City and had just now arrived at Deer South. Along the way, Kazane had sent an email to Yumika and told her to meet them in Jinrai's hospital room.

And all the other members had gathered by the time Kazane's group entered the hospital room. After confirming the full line-up of the White Party was gathered after five days, Kazane talked about their original purpose for coming here.

「Well then, this is the Deer South Party Conference.」

In short, it was confirmation of the party's future schedule. They had been swept away by various situations, and some things they had planned hadn't happened yet.

「Umm. First of all is master's hospital discharge, isn't that right?」

Yumika said. Jinrai said「Sorry for causing trouble」after those words, and Yumika replied「That wasn't what I meant」in a panic. Furthermore, Jinrai's discharge would be in two days.

「I'm planning on going to Hyvern's Wealth University for a bit to strengthen the Cottage's structure. It's okay, right Gramps?」

After Kazane's words, Mefirus nodded in Louise's arms.

『We talked. She had never seen anything like a Golem Cottage. She said she was looking forward to it.』

Mefirus replied. Apparently the university professor was Mefirus' friend, so Mefirus said he would also be accompanying Kazane. It seemed he could persist for a while after being separated from Tiara as long as he was given magical power beforehand. That was a result of Tiara's training.

「You said you're going to university… isn't that really expensive?」

After Tiara's question, Kazane replied「First of all, it's only for three days.」Although it could be said she was going there to study, her purpose was to consult an expert about the completed Cottage and make adjustments. She was also planning for that third day to be during their return trip from the dragon village.

「I suppose I'll train at the Barnes dojo during that time? Ah, Kazane. Can you come try out the Dragon Spirit charging afterwards?」

「Alrighty.」

Kazane freely replied after Yumika's question. They had already talked about Yumika's Dragonoidization with the Window's email ability. It was only intuition, so Kazane didn't know if she could without trying it out, but it seemed possible to emit Dragon Spirit through her『Dragonization』Skill even without transforming. She thought she might only be able to bring out a tiny bit with her own effort, but she probably wouldn't have any problems transferring Dragon Spirit thanks to the Window's control ability.

「My comeback will be the day after tomorrow. I will have you show me the results of your training at that time.」

「Yes.」

Yumika nodded after Jinrai's words.

「Naoki and Lyle as well.」

Jinrai also glanced at the two young men.

「Yes!」「You can count on me, grandpa!」

Naoki and Lyle cheerfully replied to Jinrai's words. Jinrai nodded with a smiling face. He was considering how far Naoki, and especially Lyle, could go. Jinrai's smile was a sadist's smile.

「Ah, that's right. And so」

When Lyle looked at Emily, Emily nodded and lined up next to him. Kazane and Naoki had already heard, and the other members could guess, so they quietly waited for the two to speak.

「I, no longer (provisional) from today, formally request to join the White Party.」

「The same for me. Please allow me to join this party.」

They bowed their heads. Of course, no one refused them. Starting with Louise, everyone said「Please treat me favorably.」While Jinrai was embarrassed, he said so as well.

After that, Louise was curious and asked about the (provisional), and that conversation was largely about their experience at Blue Rifon Fort. They confirmed that there were things they could do during those battles, and they also thought they had a long way to go to master the items they had been given.

The conversation naturally continued on to what happened at Blue Rifon Fort, and when Yumika, Tiara, Louise, and Mefirus heard the details they thought (such extremely rash things...). They could understand that there were unavoidable circumstances, but still. However, Jinrai looked awfully envious, and it seemed like he was going to start drooling at any time as he listened to the story. He should probably restrain his battle mania a little.

But the moment he learned Kazane could summon a Stone Minotaur, he broke into a full-face smile and said it would advance their training. It looked like it was going to be summoned for practice use.

Also, Tiara would study summoning with Louise. There was a large library in Deer South, and it seemed Tiara had been immersed in summoning study. She said she was finally able to take a break and enjoy herself shopping yesterday.

「There are things you can only study in places like this」Louise said.

She was a very capable person when it came to magic. She simply had a peculiar interest in men. Although she said she was restraining herself in Deer South. Her existence and mess she had made of the previous king's life was erased from Hyvern's record, so it seemed she couldn't publicly give her name as Cindy's grandmother for various reasons.

Lyle and Naoki would go to the dojo like Yumika until they could receive training from Jinrai.

Finally, Emily said she would visit her magic archery teacher. She wanted to learn the correct way to use the Dragon Spirit of her dragon wing bow. She also said she was considering asking about using the dragon fangs to make arrows using magic steel instead of the impromptu arrows she had made herself at Blue Rifon Fort. And it seemed her magic archery teacher was at the university, so Emily would go with Kazane.

「Well then, in four days? We'll leave Deer South and head to Dolmu City to eat dragon steak!」

Their plan afterward was to eat Black Rock Dragon steak in Dolmu City. It was said that high ranking dragon meat was so delicious that light would fly out of the eater's mouth. Kazane thought that seemed like a temporary breath effect.

Then after that, they would finally enter the East Dragon Village. However, they would need the power of the Guildmaster's beloved dragon to go to the dragon village. So with their schedule worked out, Kazane decided to head for the Adventurers Guild.
