Manowa: 48th Story

Lets Go Towards Tomorrow

[Tiara, wake up. Tiara-!!], Kazane kept frantically shouting.

[Mou, is there really nothing we can do?]

While repelling the incoming beak with the spear, Yumika raised her flustered voice.

[Endure. Im trying. Sieg, can you still hold there?]

[There isnt more than a minute of summoning time left!]

This was an astonishing sight for the surrounding soldiers. Sieg alone, a single human, was grappling with the Ruby Griffon.

[Kuuii~]

[Its gathering its breath!? Blaze-!!!]

On Yumikas shout, the soldiers spread out the indestructible futons that they got from Kazane in front of them.

The Ruby Griffon, which had entered into a raging state, reached the point where instead of the normal attacks, it spouted Blaze. Still it was less strong than in its prime.

[[[UooOOOOOOOOOO]]]

With the indestructible futons suppressing the flames, it wasnt difficult to decrease the damage done to the surroundings.

The Ruby Griffon had already been raging for 5 minutes. Diablo was driven off, but it continued to rage. The command from Alduins side to immobilize the summoned beast in front of them was a success, yet (its still mostly Siegs power) the crucial part of calling out to the summoner Tiara didnt succeed.

Hey Tiara. Like this you will..

The summoned beast, upon receiving the summoners mana, brings forth power. Then, when running wild, the summoners mana, even their life force, will be sucked out of themuntil their life is exhausted.

Like this, you wont last

Alduin couldnt bear to watch.

[Uu, Tiara. Wake up, like this, you will end up dying.]

This Blaze wrung out her life. There was nothing there to slow it down anymore.

[Stand back, Kazane. You will also die.]

Zinray was yelling. The indestructible mantle was coiled around her, but still, it could not hold of all of it, and some places on Kazane were smarting or burned.

[Auto heal is applied, therefore its fine.]

A healing spell that hasnt been used until now, but was now. Kazane was expending great amounts of mana to fuel her restoration while clinging onto the Ruby Griffon and calling out to it. If it wasnt for this, then she would have long since been burned to death.

[There is no way you are alright.]

Even if Zinrays grief-filled voice reached her, it certainly wasnt listened to.

The contract is not being broken by the Infinite-Keys, but it managed to give me access to the internal structure, therefore, it shouldnt be impossible to call out to the inside.

[Tiara, come back! If you stay]

Kazane stabbed the Infinite-Keys into the Ruby Griffon while shouting even more.

{{Please cease, grandfather. This hasnt been a happy talk}} (Tiara)

Suddenly, a voice reached Kazanes mind.

{{Is this voice not audible to you? It is for me.}} (King Mefirs) (Tea: King and Tiara are talking, Kazane can finally hear them.)

The kingis inside Tiara

[Tiara, can you hear? Here, Im here! Tiara!!]

If the voice from that side can reach me, then the one from here should them as well. Believing this, Kazane raised her voice further.

{{Still, child. Is this alright with you? Only managing to be saved all the time is good enough?}} (King)

Its different, shouted Kazane. Its not such a one sided relation. I also want to be together with Tiara. Therefore!

{{After all, Im at

[I also want to be together! Traveling together with Tiara!!] (Kazane)

This voice seems to have reached.

Kazane saw Tiara looking her way and smiling.

[KuueeEEEEEEE!!] (Griffon)

With a roar, Kazane was thrown off the Ruby Griffon.

[UwaaA-]Gasping, Kazane said, [But, but, Tiara is]

Alduin looked, mortified, at the Ruby Griffon, wondering if it had exhausted itself and screeching its last roars.

[Uun~, its ok.]

[Kazane?]

[Seems like its alright, look.]

With these words, Kazane watched the Ruby Griffon. The bodys light grew dim.

[This is the light of a creature when its mana vanishes]

The same light as when Sieg vanished in the Coral temple. And so, in the light, one could see the light outline of a girl, bringing Kazane to smile, and like this, she lost consciousness.

************

Royal Castle Griffonia Middle floor Guest Room Noon

[Uuuh.]

Groaning, Kazane woke up.

[Somehow, it feels like I had an extremely terrible dream.]

While her consciousness was clearing up, she rose out of bed, thinking about what a dream it had been.

[Yeah, in the middle of the night, Blair appeared, summoning Sieg and defeating himthe Ruby Griffon went on rampage, and then saving Tiara, ahin the end I woke upnn was it so?]

[Ahahaha~]

Stupid. If thats the case, then that would be an amazing development.

[What is so funny?]

[Hee?]

Right beside her was her best friend. Looks like my nose is not really awake yet.

[Good grief, just when I thought that you had woken up. You suddenly started laughing, gross.]

[Waa..cruel Yumika~]

Upon seeing YumikaKazane finally realized

[It wasnt a dream after all]

[What is?] With a slightly swollen face, Yumika asked.

Heal seems to have worked, though some traces of the burns havent completely healed.

[U-un, its nothing.]

Saying so, Kazane, with a pomf, collapsed back onto the bed.

[Yumika~]

[So what is it then?]

[Tiara, how is she?]

Yumika was puzzled, then broke into laughter.

[Eh, ee? Why this?]

[Um~, well if I say it now, it might be rather odd]

[Whats odd?]

Thinking about this, Kazanes nose suddenly reacted.

[Ara~, Tiara?]

With a bang, the doors flung open, and Tiara stormed in.

[Yumika, I talked with Father, after all, ad it seems better to have all the necessary things, and and OH!]

With an open mouth, Tiara noticed that Kazane had woken up.

[Kazane, you are awake..right?]

[Ya, yaa~]

Kazane returned the greeting by waving her hand.

[Kazane~~!!]

Then Tiara jumped and glomped her.

[KazaneKazaneKazaneeE!]

[Hey, what is all this, Yu-Yumikaaa?]

With a bitter smile, Yumika shrugged her shoulders.

[Ah, since you slept for two days? Because you made me worry? So isnt it good? This much?]

Two days?

Kazane thought that they fought last night, but it seems that a whole day has passed since.

[Listen to me, Kazane! I I can go adventuring with Kazane!]

[Eh, really!?]

To this abrupt proclamation, Kazane blinked in surprise.

[Father agreed, or rather, its on grandfathers order.]

[Eh? Eh? What does this mean?]

{{Well, it is like this}} (King Mefirs)

Together with this voice, flames rose from Tiaras back, taking on shape.

[Mini Griffon?! Or rather, the Kings voice?]

{{You might say that this soul dwells within. It has been decided that I shall protect Tiara like this.}} (Tea: More or less, King and Griffon fused and Tiara is contracted to it now? Yeah?)

[Please watch, Kazane.]

Tiara pulled out a card from between her breasts. (mllhild: the between is not in the raws, but when seeing the drawing of Tiara, she doesnt have breast pockets.)

Name: Tiara Eluma

Occupation: Summons Master

Level: 9

Rank: F

[Adventurer Guild registration card? Why does Tiara have one?]

Its only been questions for some time now.

[About this. Oh Tiara, didnt you get contracted to the Ruby Griffon?]

Before she knew it, Yumika called out to Tiara.

[But to call you a summoner, dont you have to be level 30?]

[Its quite a high level, ne?]

Tiara was level 9. Usually, to reach level 30 as an adventurer, it takes ten-odd years. Depending on ones talent, it may not be reached in ones lifetime.

[So, the royal familys custom is that training until level 30 is required.]

[What is this?]

[Hey! I have told you before, havent I? Father went out monster hunting in the past!]

Ah, the problem of the lock that even Infinite-Keys couldnt break, ne

Because of that, it seems like there are no other method of cancelling besides to kill it.

{{Well, thereafter was my turn. I went to this blockhead Alduin and told him: Killing your daughter and ascending the throne, or sending Tiara on a journey, which do you choose?}}

[Unreasonable haa-]

That kid is a worldly man, therefore his decision was natural.

Incidentally, such things as {{Had he chosen to kill his daughter, then I would have burned that guy to death}} were nonchalantly said by the mini griffon.

[By the way, what does Eluma mean?]

Tiara was supposed to be Tiara Tsurugu Tsuwara.

[Its my mothers family name!]

[Now that you say it, I havent seen your mother, ne]

Supposedly, she also didnt appear at the meals.

[Mother is in a fight with father right now, and has returned to her parents home.]

{{Since his affairs were exposed}}

[Royaltybut still, such things happen, ne?]

Kazanes mind was biased towards people having as many affairs as they desired or having a harem as they pleased.

{{Normally, it ought to be no problem. But Keiran is a woman of Baiwan, so because of this, she cant understand our cultural customs.}}

Well, its not like it was particularly biased after all, at least concerning the King in front of them.

[However, I cannot approve of this matter.] (Tiara)

[Me too. Affairs and the like are the lowest] (Yumika)

Tiara said so, and Yumika also agreed.

{{Fumu. How disappointing.}}

The griffon king dropped his shoulders. Seeing this, the three girls laughed.

Kazane: By the way, this time, the referred level 30 for the summoning is merely a rough estimate, ne. Also, status rising with level is something that, besides us players and a few exceptions, normal adventures have little knowledge about.

Yumika: If its high, then theres no doubt that they are quite amazing. Therefore, theyre shown respect, even though it may be normal that the guild puts more importance on the rank.]

Kazane: [Yeah, just like that. Now then, with this, the Ruby Beast volume is closed. time is the beginning of the Onsen Tour Trip volume.

Yumika: [Waa~, Onsen~!]
