VOLUME 2
Chapter 1: The Raid
Part 14
Late that night, Jun was lying down in bed in his room. Sensing a presence, he suddenly woke up from his light sleep.
Next to him was a person. A short girl.
“Is it you, Alice?”
Getting up, Jun grabbed the piece of magic augite and lightly rubbed it. The stone, only about the size of a fingernail, dimly lit up the room.
The silver-haired girl stood motionlessly next to the bed.
“You should have woken me up when you’ve come here.”
“It’s not like I had anything urgent to say,” said Alice, monotonously, as she slowly shook her head.
“Were you watching me sleep? What weird interests you have.”
“Stop praising me. You’re making me feel shy.”
“&h.e.l.lip;Hey, are you really here for no reason?”
“Well actually, I do have something to say.”
“Go ahead.”
“You’ve been on this island for one whole month. That’s a long time.”
“So you’re telling me to hurry up and go higher?”
“You slack off too much.”
“You’re too harsh.” Jun smiled bitterly. “I finished the four sacred beast quest with some other guys, and I wanted to complete all of the quests on the island of Lao Thai. I’ll be done soon.”
“What a perverted quest maniac.”
She sounded serious with her monotonous tone of voice. Thinking about her nonsense, Jun grinned.
Alice gracefully lifted her eyebrow, as if she had felt something disrupt her calm and composed comportment.
“So, is it a lie that you’re going to go and try to overtake Sakuya?”
“Did you see that?”
So far, since the day of the duel with Sakuya, Alice had not yet shown herself. Jun thought that possibly, she herself had been unable to leave Altaria Island, but&h.e.l.lip; with all due respect, it was quite possible that she was part of the management of this game&h.e.l.lip; rather, this world known as Sky World.
“You came here to see the end of the blue sky.”
“I’m not obligated to do so.”
“It’s not an obligation. It’s a privilege.”
“&h.e.l.lip; What are you saying?” Jun was met with a firm stare from Alice. “You won’t answer things that are inconvenient for you, right?”
“Why did you add another person to your group?”
“About Yukaria&h.e.l.lip; She’s not necessarily a full member of the group yet.”
“Isn’t a harem every boy’s dream?”
“Hey&h.e.l.lip;”
“Don’t you want lots of b.o.o.bies [1]?”
“If I said I liked b.r.e.a.s.t.s, would you change your avatar for me?”
Alice shook her head slowly. Jun had a rough idea of how her avatar worked and whether she was actually shocked by what he had said.
(Just as I thought, she can’t hide her thoughts so easily.)
“At any rate, our airs.h.i.+p hasn’t returned to port yet.”
Their airs.h.i.+p was currently lent out. An acquaintance of Jun’s who happened to be a cook was using it to set out on an expedition with about ten people to complete a cooking quest on Altaria Island.
“Preparations will be done very soon. Whether Yukaria will come with us is besides the point.” As he said that, he noticed that there was something else he wanted to ask. “Her friends got married in Sky World. Would children born here be revived in the same way as adventurers after death? When they are born, will they be given tablets?”
As expected, Alice remained still and just stared at Jun.
“Well, I guess I’ll find out one year from now.”
“Are you going to take your merry time?”
“&h.e.l.lip;You really are being influenced by Eri.”
Alice shook her head.
TRANSLATOR’S NOTES
[1] – There’s a pun here in the original j.a.panese: oppai ga ippai. I can’t leave this out because it’s just too&h.e.l.lip; punny.
