Volume 2 - CH 368

Chapter 9-2. Let’s go for a dinner

Shortly after that, we flew to the Kingdom of Salettana, and we were able to safely arrive at the place where Lacc resided.

However, it seems that Roze and Yurie were not there.

Anyway, we got off Lacc’s back.

“Gurrah, (long time no see.)”

“Gurhhhh! (welcome back!)”

Lacc greeted Ricc and Pucc, the two mounted dragons, but they came running and kicked Lacc in the face with all their might.

Although Lack was not hurt that much due to the difference in size, he seemed to be confused by the two dragons’ behaviour.

However, after listening to what they had to say, I could understand why they kicked him.

“Grulla! (that’s not fair!) Gurauraa!! (You sly bastard!!)”　

“Ga- gari~, (E- Ehh ……)”

“These guys are jealous. ……”

Well, I guess they were frustrated that they had been together all this time and only Lacc had gone out into the open space.

Originally, it seems that mounted dragons run around the fields and mountains, so it seems that these guys are also cramped in this space after all.

It’s clear that they are faster than horse-drawn carriages, but their speed of movement is still very different compared to Lacc.

In addition, there are not so many of them.

The only people who can use them properly are probably me, the two members of the lightning bow party, and Jigal.

I guess they’re upset that they don’t have more opportunities.

“Are they alright?”

“Well, just leave them alone. Where are those guys?”

“They don’t seem to be around. Shall we wait?”

“No, let’s take Houen to the medical center.”

Our objective at the moment is to get Huen’s memory back.

As long as we leave Lacc here, they will know we are back, and there is no need to tell them otherwise.

“All right, Houen. Let’s go to the medical center.”

“Like I said, I’m doing fine you see?!”

“That’s the problem because you think you’re fine!”

Ah, Houen, who has firmly returned to his adult form, is behaving normally.

As I thought, when there’s the usual person who retorts my words, this suits him better.

No matter how many times I’ve explained to him that his memories have been erased, he still doesn’t believe me.

But since everything in the Bamil territory and all the conversations with Lurimkos are missing, it seems that the only thing that is somewhat different is that it feels uncomfortable.

As long as he feels uncomfortable, there is a good chance that his memory will come back.

“Ah, but where is the medical center in the Kingdom of Salettana? Houen, have you heard of it?”

“I know where it is, but it’s at ……. I think we’re wasting our time.”

“That’s not for you to decide.”

If that one doesn’t work out, we’re going to head to Irza’s and see what we can do.

I know she has a little bit of medical knowledge too.

Maybe she knew about the curse, if you ask me.

Oh well, I’ll ask her about that when I see her.

And so, under the guidance of Houen, we were on our way to the clinic when we noticed a familiar figure walking toward us.

“Ah! Oh, it’s Ouren-nii-chan! Alena! Also Uchikage-san and Houen-san!”

“Jigal?”

The one who came out with luggage was Jigal, who is an apprentice of Thunder Bow.

He was unarmed and dressed lightly.

He put down the luggage he was carrying and lightly brushed his hands before approaching us.

“You’ve returned!”

“Ah, long time no see.”

“It’s been a long time, Jigal. Where are Roze-san and Yurie-san?”

“They will be back soon.”

Oh, I see.

Then, I guess we can wait here a little longer and ask them if they know anyone who can help us get back this guy’s memories.

In addition to the fact that the party is an S-rank party, they might have such a network of acquaintances.

“Is everything all right, Nii-chan? I heard that Bamil territory was attacked by devils. …… It was close to the Oni village, so I was wondering if you guys were alright.”

“As you can see.”

“Oh, I see!”

I spread my hands out to show that I’m alright.

Jigal, who noticed it, also seemed to notice the meaning, and he convinced himself.

“……What are you talking about?”

“Please keep quiet about those matters here.”

“?”

Uchiage put his hand out in front of Houen to stop him from accidentally slipping up.

Houen has no memory of that time.

So I guess he didn’t really understand what Jigal was talking about.

We have talked about it several times …….

He keeps asking me questions like this over and over again.

Does this mean that they keep disappearing ……?

We can’t rule out that possibility, …….

As I was thinking alone, Jigal made a suggestion.

“Ah, yes! Let’s all go out for dinner now.”

“Oh! That’s a good idea! Let’s go!”

“He’s a real foodie …….”

“By the way, I’m hungry too.”

“It’s probably not too late to eat dinner. There is no sign of devil activity so far.”

It is possible that they are active somewhere other than here, but we don’t have any information about that, therefore we are stuck …….

Well, while eating, I’ll ask those two who could be of help to Houen.

It has been a while since we went out to eat like this.

I’m looking forward to it.
