Volume 4: Epilogue

Translator: “Pink Tea” Editor: ”Ryunakama”

A few days passed since the blue sky returned to Eniado.

The repair of the spear with the use of the yang scale that we received from Snake God, took time, but went smoothly.

And after the repairs were over, we joined the banquet that was held under the blue sky that was absent for so long.

As we ate and drank, a refreshing cool breeze blew, without a single piece of sand.

After that, we enjoyed the sights of the town bursting with energy for a while.

And now, I was locking down Daisy’s base.

「Will this do?」

「Yeah, perfect. No one should be able to enter inside now…… The rest can be left to the archeological guild. Right, Michaela?」

Michaela stood in the direction where Daisy turned her head.

「Yes. We will look after it with full responsibility. You can rest assured and enjoy your travel with Axel-san.」

「Thanks, Michaela.」

「It is I who should be saying that. Thank you very much. And to you, Axel-san, as well. From the rescue mission to defeating a majin, we are deeply grateful for your help. 」

Michaela said and bowed.

Then, made a wry smile.

「Edgar said that he will come to see you off as well, but he got himself hospitalized after over exerting himself too much.」

「Well, he fought a majin the next day after almost dying in the desert.」

Getting in the hospital after that is only natural.

「Ah, also, Snake God said『Due to the size of my body I will refrain from seeing you off, but please accept this gift』, and entrusted me to give you this. 」

「Gift?」

Michaela handed me a small box.

Opening it, I saw a bracelet made of a few small blue scales tied together.

「Accessory made of scales?」

「Yes. 『A sign of my trust. If you desire to meet other local gods, show this to one of their associates. You will at least gain a chance to talk.』is what she said.」

「So pretty much the same as a guild seal, huh?」

「Yes, you can say that. Local gods have factions of their own, standing separately from the guilds. Please feel free to use it.」

「Yeah, if I get a chance.」

I put the scale bracelet into my breast pocket.

Meanwhile, Michaela asked Daisy.

「Are you going to the City of Spirits next?」

「Yes. At the『The spring of souls and spirits』, we will have to carry out the final stage of the spear repairs. Since we are done with the metal part, repairs are 80% complete. What remains is to get it a blessing and I guess it’s over.」

Hearing Daisy, Michaela nodded, 『Ah, I see』.

「The City of Spirits…… It has amazing hot springs. And it’s not that far away from here. Maybe I should go there as well, after things here calm down. The investigation that was ongoing for several months was finally concluded after all.」

「Yeah, going for a trip to another town might be a good idea. After all, that’s what I’m doing at the moment.」

It was a long journey from the City of Stars to here, but we got to experience many things for the first time, and I also have many things to learn as a carrier.

There is still a lot to do.

「I see. ……Axel-san, are you enjoying your journey?」

Michaela asked, but for me, the answer was obvious…

「Yeah, a lot.」

「Fufu, glad to hear that.」

I replied with a smile, to which she also smiled in return.

And while we had such an exchange with Michaelaー

「Master. Lysnoir and I bought everything!」

Berzelia and Saki came.

Both were carrying bags stuffed with Eniado’s foodstuff, and various fruits.

But on top of those bags, I could see glimpses of cloth.

I remember seeing that somewhereー

「……You two, did you buy more clothes again? Another dancer outfit?…… And from the placing of cloth, those seem to belong to a different genre.」

「Yes! Those looked easy to move in!」

「Yes, they looked like they would be good for seducing you, so I bought them!」

The two seem to be in sync.

Well, it’s not like it’s a bad thing, so it’s fine.

「Well, anyway, we must go. ーーBye, until next time, Michaela-san.」

「Yes. Let us meet again.」

And thus, we departed from Eniado.

A town under the blue sky, where gentle winds blow.
