Undead Seeks Warmth 042

 

On a certain clear day, early afternoon.

There were 3 shadowy of people that walked the road towards the Shardia city.

 

 

[Ah, a branched-out road... Merlan-san, where should we go now?]

[Go right.] 

 

 

The one who was leading the way, a slender man wearing a weird clothing with a sword hanging around his waist.

He was the [hero] who was called by the Mashanoizas kingdom that said to be the descendant of the hero, Kokonoe shinya

 

The one who answered curtly toward his question was a girl with pale brown hair that was tied to her back.

She was an adventurer that recently given the highest-ranking adventurer from the adventurer guild, an S-rank adventurer that reached the peak of an adventurer.

[Bow prince] Merlan-mashur

 

 

[Fufu... you will meet the cliffs if you go left you know, Kokonoe-san]

 

 

The one that gave him a faint smile was a beautiful girl who wore a tattered black jacket on top of her nun uniform.

Ursula – pendragom.

By some weird chance, she ended up travelling together with the other two, she was a self-proclaimed pilgrim nun.

 

 

[Ah, is that so? As expected of ursulsan, you've known a lot about the roads because you have already visited many places in your pilgrimage on the continent, am I right?]

[No, it's just that I knew it by chance you know.] 

 

 

A kind smile without any motives can be felt behind it.

Besides Shiya who have a lewd look on his face, Merlan stared deeply at the jacket that ursula wore over her nun's robe.

 

 

[......]

 

 

Though it was tattered, the way to create such black clothes can be seen to be thorough.

She didn't forget it, there's no way she will forget it.

It was the clothes that the man she searched all this time wore. 

 

That day, the day where she can't catch him.

Merlan woke up Ursula, and asked her about him.

She was at the same place where he was, furthermore wearing his clothes.

There's no way they didn't have any relationship, or so she thought.

 

However, Ursula answered [I don't know anything]. 

she fainted due to the fatigue of the journey, and the moment she woke up, she was there.

 

Looking at Ursula's eyes, by her instincts, Merlan thought.

 ---- Ursula was lying.

Surely, she knew something that is related to [him], 

Merlan doesn’t even know his name.

 

And so, she created some excuses, and invite Ursula to travel together with her.

Since the opponent was a beauty, Shinya easily gave her consent, Ursula also accepted her proposal.

Ever since then, even when they moved from places to places, Merlan searched for it.

Information about him, that Ursula knew.

 

 

 

 

 

[By the way, Merlan-san. The place where we are going next, what city is it called again?]

[... It was written on the map, right?]

[Well, I can't read]

[......]

 

 

Why in the world do I have to journey together with this kind of guy, or so Merlan sometimes thought.

He persistently followed her around, recently she even thought of chasing him away as it was bothersome.

"Haaah" she blatantly sighed, and then answered with displeasure.

 

 

[...... It's [Elbart].]

 

 

 

 

 

A little more before the gears started to overlap.

What shape it'll make, no one will know.
