“Chapter 213: Grandmaster’s Gratitude”
– Grandmaster, what are you doing her-!
– DON’T LOOK! (Meirir)
Ever’s figure was completely overshadowed by vapor, but Meirir covered my eyes before it dissipated.
– Hey, why are you covering his eyes I’m here to talk with my disciple.
We can’t talk like this.
– S-Shut up and get underwater before you poison his brain!
– You’re so loud… Whatever, this is a bath, after all.
This is probably the first time Ever has listened to Meirir.
What a good time to do so.
– Why are you- (Takaya)
– here I heard you the first time.
I told you I was going to a hot spring, didn’t I
– Right.
So why did you neglect any contact for an entire month
Wols isn’t a place where Akane’s Grosbeak wouldn’t reach.
– Where were you Why didn’t you help us at the Royal Capital (Takaya)
– Were you worried about me (Ever)
– Yes.
I was.
As strong as Ever is, there’s no guarantee that a stronger being wouldn’t attack her.
There are other sages in the world, and there’s the crew of the thundercloud boat.
– …Sorry for worrying you.
Ever extended her hand and stroked my hair.
– You’re a good kid.
I mean that…
Her eyes look full of tenderness whenever she does this.
It’s as if she was looking at her own child.
– …Grandmaster
– I went to meet someone.
– “Someone”
– Yeah.
The light one.
Ernika Didn’t they talk about living with a religious organization back then or something
– It’s not that big of a deal.
I just thought I’d stop by to see how you were doing.
I had to repay her for your treatment, too.
– I see.
– She lives in a place protected by a special barrier.
Even well-trained familiars can’t locate her.
That would explain why Grosbeak wasn’t able to find Ever.
– Man, I thought I had it bad with my debt on Shimazu, and now this…
– Stop acting like it doesn’t exist.
Make sure to pay Fuji-sama.
– Well, that’s enough talking.
I should get back.
Takaya, what’s your room Maybe I’ll take a night trip later.
– Don’t tell me you don’t have a room for yourself.
– Hey, you know I don’t have any money.
Come on, let me use your room.
I’ll pay you with my body~
– B-B-What are you on about! (Meirir)
– Could you please stop interrupting us We’re trying to have a Grandmaster-Disciple moment over here.
– T-Takaya!
– Alright, Grandmaster, that’s enough teasing.
If you need a room I’ll be happy to pay for one.
– Haha, thank you! Once again you’ve saved me from debt.
Here, have a gift.
Ever got close to my ear.
(I have arranged for you to talk with the Sage of the Volcano.
You’ll find out more tomorrow at noon)
– Huh
Laughing, Ever floated away.
– I’m sure you’ll be able to get some good information there.
Enveloped by vapor once again, Ever’s figure disappeared completely.
– Ahh, what’s wrong with that granny…Takaya
– Ah, right.
Yeah, she’s pretty troublesome.
