Chapter 212

Arge Chapter 212: My Friend (EN)

「Arge-san!

I caught a lot of birds today!

Let’s eat together!」(Kuzuha)

「Thank you very much, Kuzuha-chan」(Arge)

The Skewers were steaming hot, it was obviously freshly baked.

As I was invited by the good smell of the sauce, I took it in my hand and had a taste, the sweet and spicy sauce matched the taste of the wild bird.

It’s probably Kuzuha-chan’s home-made recipe, considering the baking.

The exquisite grilling condition that the meat juice overflows,

I have eaten it many times before.

...She must be good at cooking, right?

She was probably taught by her mother, but Kuzuha-chan was amazing.

I feel like I can marry her anytime if she feels like it.

「The sauce is delicious」(Arge)

「Ehehe, I was taught by Iris-san」(Kuzuha)

「Is that so... Thank you very much」(Arge)

「No no. Uhm... may I sit next to you?」(Kuzuha)

「Go ahead」(Arge)

There is no reason to refuse to sit down next to a friend.

Kuzuha-chan put a plate of yakitori like a mountain in front of me and sat down beside me.

「I can’t stand not to have a meal after work (Arimasen~wa~ne)...

*Hagu...Hagu* (chomp)

I’m doing a good job (desu no)」(Kuzuha)

「Thank you for your work (Otsukaresama desu), Kuzuha-chan」(Arge)

「No no.

Aoba-san could provide fruits and vegetables,

But as I thought, meat is also important.」(Kuzuha)

Kuzuha-chan shakes her head with a carefree smile and bites the yakitori in a hurry.

Even though the scale is smaller than the Imperial Army, the Rebellion is still a big group.

Someone like Richelle-san would eat a lot but Kuuha-chan, who can make copies of herself and hunted, was really helpful and appreciated.

「You are kinda used to it 」(Kuzuha)

「I agree.

Even so, it’s a preparation time.

I think it’s just good to be laid back」(Arge)

「...I see」(Kuzuha)

Kuzuha-chan smiled in reply to my words and put down an empty skewer.

「Arge-san. Speaking of which, I didn’t ask」(Kuzuha)

「What is it?」(Arge)

「Why is Arge-san traveling?」(Kuzuha)

「That is...」(Arge)

I would have been able to answer this question immediately until the other day.

Finding someone to feed me with three meals, snacks, napping anytime, and blood.

There’s no lie that I’m still asking for it.

However, this journey is far from my goal.

Our destination is the Imperial Capital, where we will definitely have the biggest fight.

「......There are things I have to ask」(Arge)

「Something to ask (Desu~no)?」(Kuzuha)

「......Kurogane Kuon is an acquaintance of mine」(Arge)

I couldn’t really say that there is a connection in the previous life.

Still, what I’m revealing to Kuzuha-chan is big enough to make her eyes wide opened in surprise.

What’s that emotion with the wide-open fox eyes?

I didn’t want to know that.

「...that’s why I have to ask him straight」(Arge)

Still, what I said didn’t change.

My previous life in the Kuon family.

There are many things I cannot say.

As if searching for something, I said...

「I have to ask him why.

If I don’t... I can’t sleep at ease.」(Arge)

「...Is that so (Sou~deshita~no)?」(Kuzuha)

My hands started to shiver and I reflexively closed my eyes.

...Why ... why am I so scared?

I see. This is horror.

The moment I understand it, the fear becomes cold and runs on my back.

I didn’t feel scared when I was cut off from the world or when I lived in the cage or when I died.

But now, it’s so scary to open my eyes and look at my friend’s face.

「It’s okay (Daijōbu~desu~no」(Kuzuha)

Her touch was gentle and warm.

I was surrounded by soft fluffy cushions and her scent.

When I opened my eyes, Kuzuha-chan’s chest was in front of me.

It seems that she was hugging me.

「.....I’m not angry that you were hiding it (~imasen~wa).

So you don’t have to be afraid (~daijōbu~desu~no)」(Kuzuha)

「...But, I...」(Arge)

「You’re not agreeing with what Kurogane-san is doing, right?」(Kuzuha)

「...Of course not」(Arge)

He might be right if we are living in the Kuon family.

The weak ones will be erased and the strong ones will remain.

And to remain the top is Kuon’s way of living, way of thinking.

That’s why I’m different.

My way of thinking didn’t suit in that world.

I was reincarnated in this world because it was out of alignment.

Kurogane Kuon.

I can’t accept his way of thinking.

「In that case, Arge-san is really the one that I know.」(Kuzuha)

「Kuzuha-chan...?」(Arge)

「Gentle, love sleeping, troublesome, cute...

But you were there when I cried.

You are my important friend」(Kuzuha)

She didn’t move her fingers out of my hair.

Kuzuha-chan was laughing when looking at me.

It was a benevolent smile, as her mother did.

「So when you’re sad, I’ll be by your side.

I have decided so since that day」(Kuzuha)

「...Thank you very much, Kuzuha-chan」(Arge)

「...Can we stay like this for a while?」(Kuzuha)

「Yes... just a little more」(Arge)

I was held by Kuzuha-chan until my body stopped shivering.

It was a little embarrassing to be spoiled by a little girl, but I felt relief when she called me her friend.
