BXBX NOVEL Chapter 76
Chapter 76: Yotsuba Council
“Ha ha ha ha, Kuro-san is interesting” (Kuro-san wa omoshiroi nā)
“Wa fu? is that so?”
“Oh yeah, I wonder if you follow Habotan, this fun”
“I do not want to know anything ...!!” (Habatan)
It is a young man with long black hair laughs in awe.
His orange’s eyes are out of focus, but his atmosphere when talking feels more rounded than sharp.Because the height is about the same as Fumitsuki-san, he is short for a man.
We were brought from the prison to a room with a frugal impression.
There’s only a fews furniture, one room where tables and chairs are prepared at minimum.I got the impression that it is a room for doing paper work.
This young man who talks with Kuro-san is probably the owner of this room. He must be Habotan-san’s boss or an employer?
“Well, then, Kuro-san, what about that girl?”
“Arge-chan, she’s a cute vampire!” (Kuro)
“If so, It’s okay”
“Please don’t just ‘It’s okay’ like that!” (Hubotan)
Though Habotan-san who protests like screaming, Kuro-san and youth man chat with each other happily.
I guess she will cry at this rate. Hoever,I won’t know because her eyes are hiding even if she cries.
He seemed satisfied with laughing and the young man turned his face to face here and bowed his head.
“First time meeting, I am Akisame Higure a member of Yotsuba Council”
“Argento Vampear. Just Arge is fine”
“I agreed, Arge-san, I don’t care about rank, family name or name of whom I like”
“I understand, Akisame-san”
My name was called and Akisame-san nodded satisfied.
From the attitude of Habotan-san, I guess she is the boss as well.
“Akisame-sama, for the highest decision body in this country to said such a thing ... !” (Habotan)
“Well, is that so?” (Arge)
“Oh, well ... Yotsuba Council is running with four people including me, we are the government.”
Wait, only four people in Yotsuba Council?
“Do you think that there are quite a few people that running the country?”
“The Republic was originally a group of small countries gathering, the four people including me are the united clans leaders ... our tradition is kindness, we’re already helped each other even before we united. So there’s no problem about the balance of power”
“Ha, I see”
“I’d say four people on the top seems to be a lot, since there is only one king in the kingdom or empire.”
Certainly, it may be so if you say so.
When I was convinced, Akisame-san moved. He release his hand that current stroking Kuro-san who is lurking around like a puppy and walks toward me.
“Anyway, anyone is guaranteed by Satsuki-san is safe, because she isn’t involved with anyone she judged as dangerous.”
When look at him face to face. He is short as a man, his size can mistake as young man.
And It seems he believe me because of his trust in Satsuki-san.
... Satsuki-san, you are trusted here as well.
I wonder who she really is ? Her name are well known by the council and merchant guild as well.
She is gotten more mysterious but I’m thankful because I was saved by that.
“Well, then, I will stop this kind of thing, for once, it is an important facility in the country” (Kuro)
“Well, sorry, I did not know it.” (Arge)
“Wa wa wa, Kuro-san brought you here without you knowing?”
As I was ask, I nod in reply. Akisame-san made a smile deep as he looked at Kuro-san.
“I ask you, Kuro-san. You have been caught three times this month, right? Don’t you think that was too much?” (Akisame)
“It is a matter of concern ... Why did keep doing that!?” (Habotan)
“Wa~fu! I understand! I will remember it until I go to bed today!” (Kuro)
“Would you please, remember it forever ... Uu!!” (Habotan)
“Mā mā habotan, calm down. Let’s make it a little work for Kuro-san, to be reflected.” (Akisame)
“Wa fu ~u? work?”
Akisame-san nods at Kuro-san who is still wondering.
He approached what was hung on the wall of the room.As far as I see, it looks like a map.
The map shows one big continent and the blue that will show the ocean around it.There are also some small islands around the continent, but the most prominent thing is the big land on the center.
His hand pointed to the letter of the “Yotsuba Republic” written in the west of the continent. His finger slide from there and stopped at one point.
“Do you know about Rencia Village that is a bit west of Sakura-nomiya?” (レンシア: Renshia) (Akisame)
“I know, our shop use honey from there!” (Kuro)
“Yes, it is famous for the honey production area, will not you follow me for a few days to visit there?” (Akisame)
“Eee ... It’s useless, since Satsuki is already came home, I will be working from tomorrow.” (Kuro)
“I see, then I should depend on Satsuki-san.” (Akisame)
“... Wa fu?” (Kuro)
“Kuro-san took a nap inside the premises, brought someone who did not know, and during this time I entered the Council you broke the prison. I want you to help me around for a while for compensation. Or Should I negotiate with Satsuki-san? ” (Akisame)
“Wa, wa fu ~u! ?” (Kuro)
For Akisame-san who speaks with a smile to the last, Kuro-san obviously was dismayed.
Kuro-san goes near Akisame-san in a panic and takes his arm.The ears and tail are completely hanging, and the energy of the former self seems to be a lie.
“No, that will a problem! Satsuki-chan is terribly frightened when she gets angry!” (Kuro)
Satsuki-san is always smiling. But looks like she is scary when she gets angry.
However, since we are already done it, we can’t say anything to defend.I can’t do it so please stop looking at me with those puppy eyes.
“Kuro-san, I will also go” (Arge)
Although I did not know, it is true that I bothered them.It is awkward to go away so I will help her.
Fortunately, Zeno-kun seems to return to a commercial guild in a week.It will not be a problem if I leave the capital only a couple of days.
“... Ū ... I get it.... If Arge-chan comes with Kuro, I will try my best. I don’t want get a snack ban.” (Kuro)
Satsuki-san’s anger seemed light rather than I thought.
Anyway, he got what he want.Akisame-san nods with a full smile.
“Then It’s decided, and there’re possibilities of battle need to be taken into consideration, demons may come out in the road” (Akisame)
“I understand” (Arge)
“Well then, what about the other person? (Akisame)
“One more person?” (Arge)
“Well, there is another intruder who was caught already ... Uh, Habotan. What kind of child is she?” (Akisame)
“she is a fox-type beastman with a triplet tail” (Habotan)
“Sorry, that child, she with me” (Arge)
I wonder what is she doing, that girl.
