Chapter 165: Setting Sail From Kagura
There are various things that keep happening such as the argument between Kojirou and Kaede-san, but Roomba, Haru, Shuichi, and I continued our conversation as if we loathe to part.
However, the time to part is getting closer and when the sun had reached its highest point, we can hear Tori’s voice coming from the ship.
「Alfried-sama! It’s time to board the shipー!」
「Un, okay!」
I turn around toward Haru and Shuichi after replying to Tori.
Our short but long life in Kagura is over.
「Well then, Roomba and I will be leaving now」
「I see. I still want to talk a lot more, but guess it can’t be helped! But you will definitely come again next time, all right?」
I thought that ‘Ah, I wonder if she will cause some troubles again in the end’, but it seems like Haru was able to restrain herself, and actually smiles so brightly.
「Un, I’ll come again next time」
「Right!」
「Let us know that you’ve arrived at that time, okay. If not, it’s alright if you just come directly to the castle, you know?」
After Roomba and I answer Haru, Shuichi said that with a slightly mean tone.
「It’s the castle, Al. I want to try going inside for a moment」
「We can’t do that. We will definitely be treated formally……」
I’m also interested in what’s inside of the castle, but it’s definitely going to be troublesome if we did go there.
「It’s best to just stay at the proprietress’ inn and then go to the shrine to play with Haru and Shuichi」
「Gahaha! That’s also a good idea!」
「The next time we play will also be at the shrine then!」
Haru also started to laugh after being influenced by Roomba’s loud laughter.
Shuichi and I also leaked a small laugh after seeing those two people.
「Kojirou should also take care of yourself, all right? Make delicious unadon, can you?」
「Yeah, you can do that right? Make something tastier from Al', okay?」
「Yeah, leave it to me! I’ll show you how I’ll make the best unadon restaurant in Kagura!」
When Roomba and I wished him good luck, Kojirou clenched his fist and stated that in a loud voice.
And after hearing what Kojirou said, Kaede-san scornfully laugh 「Hmph」.
He glares at Kaede-san while looking annoyed.
Please make it peaceful when you’re all here to send us off. But, well I’m one of the reasons for that.
「……umm」
「Although you had an unnecessary influence on my stupid older brother, Alfried-sama has become a good friend with Haru-sama and Shuichi-sama. You have my thanks for that 」
I’m glad. It seems like she’s not entirely angry at me.
「Aah, un. I’m sorry about what happened with Kojirou all right? But, I think Kojirou’s feeling of wanting to make unadon is true, so please try his unadon again someday」
「…………」
When I said that in the end, Kaede-san looks slightly uncomfortable.
Even if you’re feeling that it’s impossible, or that you can’t forgive him right now, I’m sure that the day where you forgive him will come.
They look to have a relationship somehow or another, so I think that that day will definitely come.
「Suke-san and Kaku-san should also take care of yourselves. Since Kojirou will not be there anymore, the both of you have to work even harder and become dependable」
「Even without you telling me that, I know it already!」
「That’s cause Sukebe-senpai is trying to make people get used to his name」
「Call the name Sukebee properly! And don’t laugh!」
After watching Kaku-san happily makes fun of Suke-san and Suke-san retorts to him, we start walking toward the ship.
And Haru, Shuichi, and the others also walk toward the breakwater.
「Sorry, I kept you waiting」
「It’s fine. It’s not easy to make friends in a foreign country after all 」
「You need to take care of your friends, yeah?」
When Roomba and I return to the ship, Tori and Douglas kindly said that to us.
After that, the sailors began to move about, took the plank that connects the port and the ship away, then raised the anchor.
Looking up, it looks like the sailors had already climbed the shroud and were all ready.
「Yosh, all hands! Hoist the sails!」
「「Heeey!」」
After Douglas shouted with his rough voice, the sailors replied and simultaneously reached out for the ropes.
Immediately after that, the drooping sails were spread and slowly opened due to the sea breeze.
Perhaps it’s because of the strong wind that is stronger than the one at the port city Esport, the sails spread out quickly.
「Yosh, departing!」
The ship that now has completely unfurled sails is slowly leaving the port with the wind pushing it.
And maybe it’s also because the person at the helm - Douglas - knows about the flow of the waves and the wind that the ship advances rapidly.
「See you againー! Alー! You have to come again all right!」
「You can come anytime!」
Haru, Shuichi, Kojirou, Kaede, Suke-san, and Kaku-san went until the edge of the breakwater and waves their hands while shouting.
「Un, I’ll come again!」
「Ou! See you!」
Roomba and I briefly answered them and, Haru and continue waving their hands toward Haru and the others.
Before long, the ship advances and the city of Kagura, the port, and Haru’s group started becoming small.
And finally, we can no longer see Haru’s group at the port.
But, even though Roomba and I can no longer see them, we kept on waving our hands for some time.
Though everyone can’t come to Kagura that often, I can return using Space magic’s Teleport any time.
But for some reason, I feel a little lonely even knowing that.
And perhaps Roomba sensed what I’m feeling that he tapped on my shoulder *pon*.
「We’ll be able to go to Kagura again someday 」
「You’re right. Let’s return to Koryatt village」
