Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~

Chapter 41.2 : Minstrel

「You’re right...」

Kyouka-san was disappointed.

We might end up passing each other if we’re busy with the task of scouring for Kujig’s nest. Thus, we have no countermeasure against those ogres at the moment.

It would be for the better if we could get more information from Echigos, but the man who just got freed from the insects that buried inside his body was currently under intensive care of the doctor of this kingdom. He was by no means in a condition where we could talk to him.

Maybe, there’s another person in this kingdom who had the same kind of bug hidden in their body, too. But, inspecting every single person of this kingdom would expend too much time.

「They really are troublesome opponents, right?」

Thus, I’m cursing on those ogres.

「And yet, we can’t dismiss them as small fry, either. In that case, let me handle those ogres. Shirone-sama, I’ll leave the matter with Kuroki-san to you.」

「Sorry, Kaya-san...」

I apologized to Kaya.

「Is it really okay for you to go there by yourself, Kaya?」

「I can do something if it’s just those ogres, Milady. I think Shirone-sama is in an even more dangerous position than me. Kuroki-san aside, that Silver Haired Girl is clearly far more powerful than those ogres. That’s why, Shirone-sama, please do not force yourself.」

「Yeah, I understand. Kaya-san.」

I agreed with her.

「Humph, someone like you is just a small fry in front of my dear master!」

Regena sneered at us after our exchange.

We heaved a sigh in hearing that.

I know that we have to restrain our emotions toward her provocation, but should I let it loose a little?

「Come to think of it, Regena-san. May I ask something?」

Kaya-san inquired Regena.

「What is it?」

Regena replied irritatedly.

「How long are you planning to live in Nargol?」

「Eh?」

Regena was bewildered in hearing Kaya-san question.

「What does that mean?」

「According to your story, it seems that Kuroki-san is trying to send you and your relatives back to human world, right?」

Nargol was the world of demons. It’s not a living place for human beings. She might have been able to live in Nargol only because Kuroki was there.

It seemed that’s the main reason for why Kuroki wanted to send Regena and her relatives back to the human world. But then, in spite of finding a suitable place, he met a deadlock since he had no connection to the human world at all.

「So, what about that? My dear master is definitely trying to send us back to the human world, but it doesn’t mean that he can find a country that is willing to accept us that easily.」

Regena was saying so while looking at Kaya-san with a dumbfounded face.

It’s hard to gain citizenship rights for people who had no parents in the destination country.

The plot of land for humans to live safely in this world is extremely limited. That’s why one country couldn’t just arbitrarily increase the number of legal citizens since it’s related to their food stocks. Thus, the possibility of a country granting citizenship to outsiders was next to nothing.

Thus, it’s difficult for outsiders to enter a country without proper arrangements.

Moreover, even if one earned their citizenship, it didn’t mean that they’d find employment without having a glib tongue.

Because it’s Kuroki, Regena and her relatives’ citizenship aside, I’m sure that he’d also make sure that there would be no trouble in their livelihood.

Kuroki wouldn’t do something as irresponsible as throwing out a life that he saved once. Even though throwing them away like that would make his life easier, his personality would cause trouble for him at this kind of time.

But, finding out someone who could take them in for Kuroki who’s socially inept is a rather tall order. That’s why Regena and her relatives couldn’t leave Nargol for now.

「Oh my. In that case, shall we offer our help to help him take care of them? We should be able to do so, right Kaya?」

Kaya-san was nodding in agreement to Kyouka-san’s question.

「Yes, it’s more than possible for us, Milady. As long as we use the name of the little sister of the hero who has received the affection of Goddess Rena coupled with money, any country will be more than willing to take us in.」

Regena was surprised in hearing that.

Even so, such things were definitely possible for Kyouka-san and Kaya-san. As long as we used Kyouka-san’s name, finding citizenship in any country including employment was just a simple matter. She should be more reliable than Kuroki in that regard.

「U~h ... Even so, I ... At my dear master side...」

Regena was at a loss for words since she might be aware of that, too.

I wonder, what makes her want to stay by Kuroki side’s in Nargol.

Nevertheless, Kuroki was trying to make Regena leave Nargol.

「Regena-san, is it really okay for you and your relatives to stay for a long time in Nargol?」

「U~h!」

Regena groaned in hearing Kaya-san’s remarks.

Bull’s eye, huh. Even though she wanted to live in Nargol, it didn’t seem so for her relatives.

「Well, no need to be hasty. But feel free to tell us if you change your mind.」

Regena was speechless against Kyouka-san’s remarks. It seems that she’s considering so many things while twining her hair with her finger.
