Volume 2 Chapter 71 The Sun’s Farewell
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Thirty minutes after the pitiful scene of the morning.
Having finished his meal, Kian stood in the front yard of Christy’s house.
Under the pouring morning sunlight, Natra faced Tengu, whom he was holding.
Between the 3 of them lay the weapons Natra had bought during yesterday’s break.
Two long swords engraved with magical language, along with a bishop staff fitted with the Windsong Blade and Magic-Draining Mirror.
There were also several small throwing knives.
”I’ll keep the bishop staff with you, Natra. Vampire magic is effective enough if I wear ‘glasses’. Natra can use magic too, right?”
”It’s more that the Night Wraith living inside me has accumulated the knowledge. It may take some time to draw out that knowledge, but overall it’s fine.”
For the past 3 days, it was Natra who had prepared all the baths.
The one with knowledge was the magician who died in ‘Labyrinth of Roses’ during Kitsune’s lifetime, which implies Natra can utilize that knowledge to wield magic to a certain extent.
Even if he wasn’t an expert like Christy, having one magician in the party was reassuring.
”Is this child fine with a long sword?”
”Yeah, if anything happens, it will probably end up being Drain Touch, but it’s better than nothing.”
So saying, Kitsune handed one long sword to Tengu.
The amorphous Tengu, despite knowing how to use a sword, seemed to swallow it into his body instead.
It appeared he was mistaking himself for an item box.
”I’ll hold onto the Windsong Blade.”
”Yes. Please use it without hesitation when the time comes. However, the mission also includes the safety of bystanders. Do not forget that.”
”Of course.”
Having quickly distributed the weapons, Kian shouldered his backpack.
His backpack contained items such as bandages and painkillers.
However, he had been warned by Waterman not to bring explosives or poisonous substances, so he had left them in the underground training room.
”Am I going to hide in your shadow?”
”Yes, I’ll call you when I need you. If there’s someone like McCutchen around, wear the Kitsune mask and come out. Your skin color can’t be hidden, but with the mask, the impression will be different.”
The Kitsune mask was a unique piece of equipment.
If she didn’t wear it, people would notice Natra’s facial features, but with the mask on, it was possible for onlookers to recognize her as Kian’s familiar.
”Understood. Then”
With a nod, Natra’s body began to dissolve into the air.
As her shadow flowed towards Kian’s, something unexpected happened.
”A…h”
”Ah”
The leather armor she had been wearing failed to phase through and fell to the ground in pieces, as if she had suddenly taken it off and shed her skin.
Kian was left standing there, mouth agape, staring at the leather armor and the pink fabric wrapped inside the short pants.
”Huh? Could this be Natra’s…?”
”Sir Kian!”
”Gyoe?!”
He was startled and struck on the back of the head, his eyes wide with surprise.
As he turned around, he saw Natra, n*ked and covering her chest with her arms.
She had taken back the pink panties that Kian had picked up and was panting heavily.
”Hey!? N, Natra!”
”E…?!”
The girl, coming back to her senses, hugged her slender n*ked body and glared at Kian with tears in her eyes.
”Wait! Calm down! It’s okay!”
Kian hastily called out to the wraith and had them remove the shrine maiden attire.
Natra quickly hid behind a tree, and Kian went to her, putting a kimono on her.
”Ugh, I had forgotten. It seems that if the amount exceeds a certain limit, the phasing fails.”
Kian handed Natra the kimono, and she put it on, covering her body.
”I see. That’s why the leather armor didn’t phase through.”
”I feel the same too. I completely forgot why I paid so much for the spirit thread armor. We’ve only been training and having sex for the past 3 days.”
”Huh? That doesn’t matter.”
Natra’s face flushed, clearly visible even on her brown skin.
Though she was knowledgeable about sex and practiced the art of lovemaking, she still felt shame when undressing outdoors.
She hurriedly put on the spirit thread underwear, then began to wrap herself in a kimono.
”…Sir Kian! From that angle, I’ll be visible from the road! Move a bit this way!”
”Ah, my apologies.”
”No…”
Kian shifted his position and opened his mouth to fill the awkward silence.
”You said you didn’t want to wear that outfit because it was hard to move in, but with Wraith’s ability, you should be able to make it transparent at will. It might be a bit distracting, and it could hinder your swordplay until you get used to it, but could you manage with that for a while? If it really doesn’t work, we can save up for a new one.”
”No, we can’t waste any more. I’ve already wasted money on the leather armor.”
”I’ll give the armor to Serena as a reward for the quest’s success. The size is the same except for the chest.”
”…Are you saying my chest is small? Is that what you mean, lord?”
”What!? That’s not what I meant. Objectively speaking, yes, you have a smaller chest while Serena has a decent one, but a girl’s worth isn’t determined by breast size. By the way, I’ve come to love the bodies of girls who are flat-chested and somewhat loli over these past 3 days.”
”────!? You idiot! We’re outside! Don’t say such things!”
As Natra shouted, the Tengu, freed from her hand, reached out to the gargoyle statue behind Kian and the others.
As it poked with its black-tipped appendage, the gargoyle suddenly breathed fire, sending the Tengu flying.
”Ah!”
”Hey, Tengu, what are you doing!”
The Tengu, scolded by Natra, trembled its mask and dropped various items it had stored, like long swords and potion bottles, onto the ground.
It seemed it had also failed to become transparent.
Kian and Natra’s belongings were scattered in the dry courtyard.
They found themselves staring intensely at each other, with the trembling Tengu in between.
