Arge Chapter 120: Itte kimasu (We are leaving)
The sky is clear blue and sunny
While thinking that it will be good for an afternoon nap, I’m calling the red hair spirit girl.
“Igu Jisuta. Is it really okay?” (Arge)
“Of course it is!” (Igu)
Igu Jisuta proudly raises her chest as she says that. Behind her is a large amount of food.
There are no meat, mainly vegetables and cereals, I am glad that there is also bread.
The day after we solved the misunderstandings and knew more about each other. I decided to start travel again.
Igu Jisuta told me that we can take our time even so I have to escort Richelle-san.I can’t afford to relax here forever.
I stored her prepared food in my blood bag and I bowed to her.
“Thank you very much, Igu Jisuta” (Arge)
“E he he, my lovely Imouto will be on a journey, so of course I will prepare at least this much” (Igu)
Igu Jisuta caresses my head as she says that.
My soul from previous life is a man but my body right now is a girl. Even if she treat me like a little sister, it isn’t wrong.
“... Argento” (Igu)
“Oh, yes, what is it?” (Arge)
“Antares city was already destroyed, It can’t be called as a home, so you can think this place as your home” (Igu)
“...Uhm” (Arge)
“If you need anything you can come back anytime, that’s it.” (Igu)
Place that Argento Vampear can come back, not Kuon’s house. It’s not where I born, but I don’t mind returning here.
“...Thank you” (Arge)
I understand the meaning her words, it makes me quite ticklish.
Still, I know that it isn’t a bad feeling. So I accepted that feeling.
“That’s why, everyone, please take care of my cute Imouto properly” (Igu)
“... I will protect her even if you don’t ask. But suddenly behave like Arge’s ane-san with that smug face make me quite angry.” (Felnote)
“Mu, what’s this Felnote-kun. If you don’t like it, how about I left this Cyril Big Safe alone and follow you guys?” (Igu)
“What’s about your official business ...!” (Felnote)
She is probably serious but this place supporting the entire world economy. It will be a lot of trouble for the whole world.
Zeno-kun face has become blue so we better stop it before he faints.
“Igu Jisuta, please don’t say something so unreasonable. Everyone will help me and I can protect myself too” (Arge)
“Muu, but ... but. Only if I don’t have this role I will follow.
Then how about bring 30 large golems as your body guards?” (Igu)
“Stop it” (Arge)
I can store them in my Blood Bag, but their excessive strength is too overpower.
What does she think we fight against that need thirty of such massive weapons to protect.
“Gu~nu~nu..., but looks ... Kuzuha-kun said it herself! I don’t want to regret later!” (Igu)
“It’s okay, our most serious problem about food is already solved” (Arge)
Richelle-san’s meal is the biggest problem in this trip, so I’m thankful that she solve it for us.
However, it seems that Igu Jisuta is not convinced. But after a while she gives up.
“Mu~mu~mu ... Everyone, I will say it again, please protect my precious Imouto neatly!” (Igu)
“Arge-sama, what does the Spirit get angry for?” (Richelle)
“She told us be careful not eating too much” (Arge)
As it became a little troublesome, I change the translation.
Igu Jistusa had behave strange or she seemd to be overprotective since yesterday. Even I got used to it but I was a bit tired.
I think she is very gentle, but she is excessive in many ways.
I wonder why she was like this though, didn’t she get tired?
In any case, I can’t stay here forever.
She told me that it is okay to return and I am going to do it, but now I have something to do.
Because I promised to escort Richelle-san to her hometown in the Demon Continent.
“Well then, Igu Jisuta ... uhm ...” (Arge)
“Well, 「Itte kimasu」could you say that?” (Igu)
“Uhm ... Itte kimasu” (Arge) (We are leaving)
“Um. Itte rasshai” (Igu) (Have a good trip)
I am not going to say 「Sayonara」
I also said that to Satsuki-san, but this time is definitely a different word from that time.
I got a home to return someday, I mean words like that.
I’m still puzzled to be treated like that, she called me her Imouto.
Still, I didn’t want to deny it.
“Well, I pray for the safety of your journey.
And I will be happy if you send me letter sometimes. So I can know about your safety every now and then” (Igu)
“...I understand” (Arge)
I never used a mail-order shop in this world.
In the first place, I do not know what kind of letter is being conveyed.
Well, I can ask Felnote-san later.
I think it’s troublesome, but I also like to know, so I think that I can do it occasionally.
For this lonely girl.
I respond to her by waving my hands, and I get on the carriage.
Felnote-san and Richelle-san also get in the carriage.
Only Zeno-kun is sitting outside to move the carriage.
“Is it alright – desu ~no?” (Kuzuha)
“Yes, I have finished my greeting properly, It will be nice if you greet her, too, Kuzuha-chan” (Arge)
Kuzuha-chan who always properly goodbye in such case, didn’t come out this time. She smiles and ask a question with a strange feeling.
“I’m not good with something like parting with a family member” (Kuzuha) (家族との別れですもの。水を差すのは野暮、というものですわ: Kazoku to no wakaredesu mono. Mizu o sasu no wa yabo, to iu monodesu wa)
“... Was that something like that?” (Arge)
“Now Arge-san is her Imouto, so I’m her imouto’s friend. I already promise and talk with her yesterday, so I am fine.” (Kuzuha) (Kondo wa Aruje-san wa imōto to shite, soshite watashi wa imōto-san no o tomodachi to shite. Kangei shite kureru to, kinō yakusoku shite kudasaimashita. Dakara, watashi wa ī ndesu no yo)
I sit down next to Kuzuha-chan who is happy to talk.
There is no point. Because the carriage is wide, there is no need to do so.
I just wanted to do that.No meaning behind it.
“... Arge-san” (Kuzuha)
“Yes, Kuzuha-chan?” (Arge)
“Thank you very much” (Kuzuha) (Arigatōgozaimasu)
“Fu~e?” (Arge)
I was puzzled for a while. I did not know what she thanks me for.
Perhaps I make quite a stupid face.Kuzuha laughed and her fox ears were trembling.
“For staying by my side when I lost my hahaue” (Kuzuha)
“... But I just stay there?” (Arge)
I didn’t call out to Kuzuha-chan, who was mourning her mother’s death at that time.
I didn’t know what to do, I couldn’t even call out and touch her to comfort her.
I was just stay there by her side till she stopped crying.
“But I’m really glad with that” (Kuzuha) (Sorede yokatta ndesu no yo)
“Really?” (Arge)
“Because you are there, my loneliness has been filled in.
If Arge-san isn’t there at that time, I won’t be easy to get over my sadness ...
And yesterday, I would not be able to reach Igu Jisuta-san” (Kuzuha) (Datte, sorede watashi no sabishisa wa umatta ndesu no. Ano Toki Aruje-san ga inakereba, kitto...... kinō, igujisuta-san ni o sekkyō nante, dekimasendeshita wa)
Kuzuha-chan somewhat shyly smiles.
Certainly, If we didn’t meet that day, perhaps Kuzaha-chan may become like Igu Jisuta.
If you say thanks in that sense, I can be satisfied. What I did is not a big deal, but if that helping her.
“... then, you are welcome.” (Arge)
I thought that I could obediently say so.
“... So when Arge-san face any hardship, I’ll be with you by all means” (Kuzuha) (Dakara Aruje-san ga tsurai toki wa, kitto watashi ga soba ni imasu wa)
“Is that so?” (Arge)
“Yes, because for me ... Arge-san has become an irreplaceable person ...” (Kuzuha) (Ē. Datte, watashi ni totte wa...... Aruje-san wa mō, kakegae no nai hitona ndesu mono)
My heart feels wonderful and warm with Kuzuha-chan’s words.
I don’t know well what this feeling that springs up in my heart is.
Still this feeling makes me realize that I can feel the warmth of my heart.
So for now, let’s follow the feelings I have.
“...Thank you” (Arge) (T.N: I can’t find any good picture for this so I choose a picture from same artist)
“............” (Kuzuha)
“What’s wrong, Kuzuha-chan?”
“Ah, no, about how you laugh just now, can you do it again!?” (Kuzuha) (A, ie, sono, i, ima no warai-kata, mōikkai yatte itadakemasu no!?)
“... I was laughing? I didn’t plan to do that ...” (Arge)
“That was really pretty! So please once more! Smile again!” (Kuzuha)
Although Kuzuha-chan asks me to do it, I’m in trouble even if she suddenly asks.
Originally, I was not even conscious of being laughing.
“Er ... like this?”
“Uhm, this is cute, too but it’s a bit different ...!” (Kuzuha)
And, I was practising smile for a while with Kuzuha-chan, I don’t know why she had such high tension for this.
The goal of our journey is still far away, I don’t really know what my friends are but I’m very confused. I even suddenly have a big sister.
Still, my chest somehow feels warmth.
