ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 603: No One Carries the Wandering Sword Part 1
When the two of us were given our respective letters, it’s only a given that we would open them up and that we would surveil their contents on the spot without a second’s delay. And even though their contents would probably be different, the expressions on our faces were more or less the same here.
「Well, the information in those things seem to be different, so how about we share the knowledge we obtained from reading them? Maybe we can both benefit from that.」
「Ahh…… So, information sharing, huh? Well, I dunno about that.」
「Don’t worry about it. And better accept the offer since I’m still asking nicely. I can always beat the shit out of you and bully you into spilling the beans later.」
After all, I am a self-proclaimed Solo Specialist. And then I am also quite adept at obtaining information, or pulling them out of unwilling and uncooperative people.
「Umm, let’s see…… “The darkness cleans up, and the black of the night becomes the white of the day. A white makeup of blasphemy, do not forget the ancient shame as the generations pass. Only the Avenging Blade shall make the dead disappear for good”…… Or something like that.」
「Alright, and let’s see what I got here…… “The sword is set up, and the title on the grave is the only proof. The anonymous money make the glory of life rot away. Glory is trap filled with decadence, only the Blade Of the Avenger can set the record straight…… Ahh……」
So, it’s basically a mystery solving, huh……? And what’s more, it’s about solving the mystery without the help of any hints, which will only make it more difficult than it has to be.
「Seriously now, how are we even supposed to work with this? Couldn’t you just…… I don’t know? Give us the overall characteristics of the monster we are supposed to defeat? Because I only know that my target is supposed to be white. Do you have any idea how little that narrows things down?」
「Dude, are you seriously going to complain about that? At least you know something about your monster. I only know that it is connected to the “grave” in some sort of way. That is…… Yeah, that is pretty much useless, I am not going to lie.」
Could it be some sort of an encryption system? Or maybe it is supposed to be a hint for some other messed up gimmick or something like that? I don’t know. It’s WAY too early for me to understand any of that. I need to spend a few moments with this text, get it coursing through my system. And it certainly doesn’t help that nuances and logic are pretty much useless when it comes to those things…… This thing is going to be quite a challenge.
「Hey, hey! You two! Don’t you forget about us in here!」
「Say what……?」
「You guys……!」
「Saba-san, you know what they say, right? Two heads are better than one? Or in this case three?」
「So, if you were to actually combine the power of everyone gathered in here……」
「But aren’t you guys basically incompatible with the stuff that involves heavy thinking like that?」
「Hey, you don’t need to have a degree when it comes to cranking your head trying to crack up a riddle or two, right? In other words, what we are trying to say here…… Let’s try to reach enlightenment together……!」
「Oi, oi! Does this look like a study group towards reaching enlightenment? No? Thought as much……」
I turned slightly towards Survival to see if he was ready to back me up on that claim, but it seemed to me that he was actually down for the idea? Or maybe……? Was he aware that this was not a matter that could be shared with others? If so, that would be a huge relief.
「I-It’s ready to be served……」
Good thing we have a perfect distraction here.
It seems that those perverts and creeps had a very short attention span, for when Wimp emerged from the kitchen, their undivided attention turned towards here all at once. Good thing that they were all so simple-minded like that. Now, hopefully they are going to forget all about the letters as well…… And seriously, I would like to put this event under wraps as soon as possible. I still need to go to school, mind you!
「Fueh…… Fueh…… Fight on, something-that-is-supposed-to-look-like-a-soup!」
「The Little Girl Sensei is way stronger than me, you see.」
「It’s…… a soup……」
The fact that almost every single one of those guys took out their recording items and started to shoot the videos right away was already disturbing enough, enough to make me want to back away into the INVENTORY and do not go out of there for a while. But fortunately I somehow managed to suppress those urges.
Good thing that Sigma and Emul are not here. At least those two do not need to watch this shit show unfold.
Now, what do we have here? It seems that using that weird fish for ingredient, Wimp arrived at a conclusion that a fish soup is the way to go here. How about the smell……? Well, at least it’s NOT bad, and that’s a surprisingly good start. Or maybe it is going to be really bad, but Little Girl Sensei’s Hunger demerit would make her brave through all this just so that she could stomach her food? But then she thrusted her spoon into the bowl of the fish soup and carried it all the way towards her mouth.
「……………」
The Little Girl Sensei continued to chew the soup for a moment or two in absolute silence. And then she took another spoonful of the soup. And then another one and then another one, not hesitating for even a moment.
「And the results are!?」
「I can’t even properly catch the moment the spoon is entering her mouth like that! Or leaves it, for that matter!」
「Shit, it would be nice of those things would record videos in super slow motion!」
Alright, you lot! You are positively fucked ot the head and I would kill you all on the spot if it was not for the fact that the Little girl Sensei was obviously way more important that you all at the current moment.
It was simply baffling that a little girl eating a bowl of soup could cause quite a stir like that through that act alone, but then Little Girl Sensei did something else. She got up from her seat, brought the bowl to her mouth and started downing the whole thing just like that, as if she was chugging a glass of beer.
「H…… HERE IT IS ––––––––––––!!!!!!!!!!!!」
「She’s downing that soup as if it was a glass of hot milk…… Sanraku! You cannot even imagine just how rare of a sight that is!」
「I-Is that so……?」
Well, certainly I can see that it must be a big deal when a little girl like Little Girl Sensei managed to drink up the rest of the soup in one go, swallowing all those huge chunks of fish and veggies while she was being at it, but still…… I think that the “rare” applied in here only because of the sheer size of the ingredients in the soup, don’t you think?
But still, did we managed to obtain a good result in here?
「S-So…… How…… How was it……?」
「………… Well, I guess it tasted pretty normal?」
