Volume 2 - CH 355

Chapter 8-27. Ice Terrace Mountain Range

I go to the place of the Majin.

I don’t even know where that is, and it is doubtful that I will be able to see them.

Nonetheless, as we know nothing about the devil, we are sure that he will provide us with some kind of information.

Unless it was a trap.

Then Uchikage shakes his head and grabs me by the shoulder.

“Are you sure?! It could be a trap! There may be devils active in other countries even now! You can’t …… get there in time if something happens. ……!”

“I know.”

His hands gripping my shoulders are filled with strength.

I know that he was holding back.

Though I can feel his desperation from his grip strength …….

It is worth going if it is information that the devil has given to us.

Plus, if the information is negative, it means that the devil really is the enemy, and if it is positive, it means that the devil is willing to tell us something.

Currently, they are the enemy.

However, this might force me to change my mind.

“I don’t trust the devil, but if I can get him to talk directly to me, I might be able to understand their purpose ……”

“……, you might be able to understand their purpose …..?”

“Yeah, right.”

The only one who managed to have a solid conversation with the devil was Houen.

Including the situation during these discussions, this is what makes Houen like this.

A tremendous sense of discomfort.

A fear that we may have made a mistake.

I mean, there are so many things I don’t understand, and I’m getting frustrated!

If we don’t know what they want, we don’t know what to do!

Those devils, get off your asses and talk to us!

That said, I won’t forgive what they’ve done to this Bamil territory.

And they said it’s all for our benefit?

That’s what I call ambiguous.

Well, perhaps that’s what they’re trying to do.

We still don’t know.

“Is…. that so……. Well, Ouren-sama was that kind of person.”

“Hmm? What do you mean, Uchikage?”

“His way of thinking is very different from ours. …… This time also, he used an Area High Heal. What are you going to do now?

“Dunno, I’ll figure it out, I guess.”

“That’s the point. ……”

I wonder if the national government is going to chase me away.

Naah~

But, well, most of them would have died if I didn’t use this skill, screw it.

No regrets, no remorse this time!

Stay positive, let’s stay positive!

So, I’ve decided what I’m going to do, but I have no idea where the Majin is.

I really have no idea what to do.

“If you want to talk about the Majin, you can find it in Satella’s mansion.”

“Seriously?”

“Yeah. In my spare time, we read it together. I learned there’s a woman in a place called [Hyoushousanmyaku].”

Excuse me?

Hyoushousanmyaku ……?

Let’s see, hyou is probably ice, and shou is …… shining, or light?

“Hyo-shou means ice-shining hail …… mountain range, which is all the way down south from here.”

Houen, who had somehow recovered a little, told me about the place.

The mountain range is vast and high, with icicles increasing the closer one gets to the top of the pass, but there is only a light dusting of snow at the foot of the mountain.

Apparently it is a difficult place to climb, but if it is just passing through or stopping by, it is not a problem. ……

It is extremely cold and few people go there at this time of the year.

Ice terrace ……, I’m so curious about them!

Regardless of what the devil says, I just want to go look around!

As for the origin of the name, it is said that the name came from the fact that it is a mountain range where the ice is irradiated.

I wonder if I’m the only one who would like to see that scene.

However, it is winter now and there is snow on the ground.

Wouldn’t it be even more amazing over there?

“So, what’s going on in the Ice Terrace Mountain Range right now?”

“We can’t get a carriage there. ……”

“Well, I suppose so. But we can travel there with Lacc. Are there any villages or anything nearby?”

“No, there isn’t.”

“Ah, that’so……”

Hmmm…then it might be difficult to find a place where the Majin is located.

It would be difficult to conduct a long term search in such a place at this time of year.

It would be nice if there was someone who knew the terrain …….

I doubt if it’s possible to sleep on the stones or anything like that.

If there were caves or something, that would be different, but we don’t even know if there are any.

First, we need to gather information about the Ice Terrace Mountain Range.”

“There was a map in Satella-onee-chan’s room!”

“Then let’s have a look at it.”

Well, looking at the surroundings,……, it looks like it will be nighttime before we can return to Satella’s mansion.

I wonder how long it will take to clean up this monsters’ corpse. ……

Some of the people died in the war. …… I’ll have to give them funerals and stuff.

I guess I’ll do my research later until things settle down.
