Chapter 463: Rica Rescue Operations 3
Safr rides Maia with me as a human body and back into the sky again.
Aim southwest, city of Sitar.
âHey, canât you pick up the Oscars before you go there!?
âLook, youâre supposed to be in the southern village ruins of Dark Elves!
âOh, that half guy⊠why?
âIf you found out where Rica is, you wouldnât even let her leave a message!
âBesides, Iâm sure youâre more used to investigating and all that!
You seemed good at every negotiation, sure.
But Iâm talking about how some guys are worse at that than Safr.
I wouldnât be in such a hurry than I was. Weâre not at war this time.
âBut I donât know if I can do much to help you, do I? Deane and the others are supposed to be operating and moving alone with DeaneâŠâ
âStill would be better than letting it go!?
Are you the only ally in the current situation if you try to make it saffle?
Iâm giving you a reason, but maybe I still want someone to hold my hand with.
Let Maia change direction and land in an abandoned village in the Lake Marsh area.
âHey, Oscar! Coming!â
Half dark elves, gleaming from the barely remaining houses in the abandoned village, looked a little surprised at Safrâs voice.
âMr. Ricca, did you find him?
âOh⊠well, I mean, they found it or havenât found itâŠâ
âSince then, there have been about two pairs of dragons here. Itâs what Iâm here for.â
â⊠What, youâre here!?
It was mine that surprised me.
Because Celesta was talking about not having a lot of dragon palaces. Of course, Lylaâs palace just drowned, and I donât suppose thereâs anyone else, but is it enough to show up so slightly?
âYep, the Red Dragon and the Yellow Dragon one at a time⊠with each partner like someone else. I explained it properly for once.â
â⊠I wonder if youâre quite around there, Dragon Rider.â
âI donât think the rumor spreads fast enough to cross the border, and I guess it means being thereâ
Mr. Oscar, whose waist is calm but flat. Thatâs surprisingly brave.
âMore than that, Oscar, come with me! What is it, the city of CĂ©sar?
âYes, there are rumors that Sitar saw Ricca in Toko. We will nowâŠâ
âSitar? Sitarâs from that port town?
Mr Oscar made his expression look worse.
â⊠thatâs the root castle of a human trafficking organizationâŠâ
I knew he knew. Is it famous around here?
âThereâs a white elf in thereâŠâŠ that would also be Mr. Rica alone. Isnât that good bait?â
âI knew youâd be targeted for being a white elfâŠâ
When I squeal like that, Mr. Oscar snorts.
âSometimes it looks good, but most importantly, because itâs the most understandable and isolated species in Celesta. Compared to other species, there is no posterior rotâ
âYou mean catch it and enslave it, or sell it or kill itâŠâ
âThatâs right. Thatâs where they saw you⊠No, itâs more a question of why youâre in such a place than thatâŠâ
âThink about it when youâre on the ground!
Safr pulls Mr. Oscar, who starts to think about it. Mr. Oscar is lightly rolled over with an arm that doesnât resemble what a child looks like.
âYes, there he isâŠâ
âTheyâre already looking for his people over there! Oscar will help you, too!?
âAs it were, well, thatâs not a bluff⊠but are you still in Sitar?â
âItâs not a town that stays very long, itâs normal. Itâs not as beautiful a town as a tourist attraction, nor is there anything interesting nearby⊠If youâre safe, or caught on the premise of selling, itâs a stone to get on a boat before it gets to the public.â
âOnce upon a time, I was a little on edge.â
Mr Oscar tightened his expression.
âSo shall we go? ⊠I donât feel comfortable, but I canât say the same at this timeâ
Mr. Oscar is also on board to head southwest again often.
I saw the sea in the morning, and I saw that port town.
âOver there. Itâs a beautiful town to see in the distance.â
âIn the long run⊠itâs just whiteâ
Mr Oscar answers Safrâs words without fruit or lid.
Sure, the house is white. Most houses are painted white except on the roof.
When I ask, Mr. Oscar answers as he hugs his toge so it doesnât fall (I moved to his back because I canât have a threesome on Maiaâs head).
âThere seemed to be a lot of visibility from offshore and to protect the building from summer heat, but mostly itâs a town measure. Sahul, just like you were happy to be white, itâs to please the tourists. No matter how bad you hear rumors, this white landscape alone makes you want to think, âSuch rumors could be illusions'â
âItâs like a joke, but I knew I was there. People just want to walk through this white harbour town and decide they didnât listen to all the bad reviews. I donât think Rica, the adventurer, is.â
âIs it that dangerous? This town?â
It is never uncommon for Celesta to be a town of insecurity.
But with insecurity, itâs normal that they have their own order, and itâs not as difficult as travelers passing by if they donât invade it.
âThis place is special. The Celestan brother-in-law and common sense donât make sense. Even if there is no reason to do anything wrong with the target, it can move from organization to organization simply because it is worth the product. Follow up with foreign contact points.â
Mr Oscar lays his eyes down silently.
I donât know what happenedâŠâŠ Oh, my God, itâs rude to step in.
âDear Andy, Iâm coming down.â
âPlease, donât let them find you.â
Maia slowly descends into the suburban woods.
Maia, Safr, Mr. Oscar, and me.
The four of us infiltrate the town.
âThis way. Thatâs all you get to mark the bad guys when you come in from the front. Safr, you or Blue Dragon girlfriend, it wouldnât be a good idea for me or you to get your eyes on it.â
I am more familiar with the town of Sitar than expected.
âCanât I blame you for letting me in from this side?
âIn the first phase, though. Itâs the same thing you can look at from anywhere if you stand out at all.â
â⊠then we need to be discreet. Mr. Oscar, thereâs an Ate to look into.â
Behind the town, over a broken fence into the city.
âIsnât it up to Deane to look into things?
Maia asks me strangely, but I shake my head in silence.
Apart from looking from the front, it would also be ant to use his help.
âDoesnât it have to be easier if you hide in the phantom than that?
Visit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.
Saffle pointing his mouth at him as if he were cramped.
âThatâs one hand too, but it would be more efficient to listen and go around than to explore to smash a leafâ
âI donât know⊠anyway, weâll generally hear the conversation in this townâŠâ
âThe only thing that works is if thereâs Mr. Ricca in this town. I see Iâm not here anymore.â
Mr. Oscar runs his gaze left and right without alarm before he leaves the street.
âThe sightings will be days old. If youâve already been on the boat, Safr, your ears wonât help either. If so, we need to find out where you got on the boat.â
âOh well⊠then itâs pointless to hide in the phantom and look aroundâ
âThatâs the thingâŠ. Eh, guys, hide.â
Mr. Oscar makes us crouch in the shadows and lurk our breath himself.
Footsteps sounding in a bright white alley.
After a while. Sharon and Almeida go through in front of them.
âHi there, there are signs youâve been watching since you got into this townâŠâ
âHa. But well, I guess weâre rareâ
âThatâs true. I donât like it when I feel more focused than the other kids.â
âStill ridingâŠâŠ yes, no, it would be Mr. Sharonâs atmosphere of nobilityâ
âEven now, Berga tells me heâs more warrior-sharp than he was when he was in the country.â
âIt would be a difference in degree. Compared to Naris and the like, you canât even compare the elegance.â
âThat⊠though it may be. Itâs hard to enjoy things like that.â
Passengers who gaze at two people walking in chatter are certainly not one or two.
And the two of you donât have a weapon or anything. Were they taken away when they entered the town?
Still, I donât think Iâm going to take the back, but I was freaked out to see the atmosphere blatantly feathering around the two of us.
âThere are their eyes all over town. Even the two of us. Oh, you can imagine what would happen if the elves walked alone.â
â⊠I see. Be caught sooner or later, or run away. You donât have long eyes.â
We both go a long way through the atmosphere of zazzling surveillance.
âShall we hurry? There is a familiar store. And there you will be able to slow it down a bit.â
âI asked you, Mr. Oscarâ
Follow him and choose the back alley while moving around the white city.
The Sharons⊠well, theyâll be fine.
âYou donât go in there on your own. We start in the evening⊠you, Oscar.â
âLady, itâs been a whileâŠ. This is Mr. Andy. And Mr. Maia and Mr. Safr.â
âI mean, Iâve run in all of a sudden⊠well, I wonât ask you for details. Nevertheless, I thought I had washed my feet.â
âI was gonna wash it.â
When I entered the shameful store, a rarely fat woman was blowing pipes in the back of the store in the dark elves.
âSheâs Lady Swallow. Itâs the face around here.â
âPerfume is the main ingredient. Lady, how about one?â
Maia distance herself from the vial of perfume offered by Lady Swallow to escape.
âYouâre a cute but unfathomable child. Brother, your daughter⊠No, is that your sister? Everyone seems human except Oscar, but what⊠no, I still wonât ask. Oscar, tell me what you need.â
âIâm sorry, but Iâve been talking about a lot of hiding places and⊠and some recent white elves caught by âParentsâ.â
â⊠thereâs no room for free.â
The poisonous coloured lipstick shines through the lampâs lights.
Thereâs such a thing as a fat dark elf⊠or Mr. Oscar who he really is, or something.
Think scattered as your brain is stirred (hidden) by the idyllic fragrance that drifts in the store.
âI donât have a lot of companionship⊠what would you do if I told you that the city could be attacked by a dragon if something bad happenedâ
â⊠Dragon. You know the Fire Dragon War. Use that word for generations.â
âIâm one of those generations, too. Does that sound like a joke to you?
And then he took one key from the wall behind him and let it go towards me.
I missed it because of the dark, but caught it before Maia fell.
âBack of the store, third from the rampage. Use it nicely. And the elf story makes me go get the back. I donât know much about you, either.â
Sincerely, Mr. Oscar puts his hand on his chest.
âThe dragons are coming out. The enemies and allies donât. Because Iâve seen everything turn to ashes beautifully over and over again. Iâve been opening this shop for fifty years, and I still donât want to ash it.â
And I stare at Mr. Oscar half-eyed as I sigh.
âI really hope youâre not lying again.â
âNo, I never lied to a lady.â
⊠I donât know, this tension.
Mr. Oscar feels a strange sense of certainty and courage in his soft, weak waist.
Iâm starting to get a little scared right now about this guy.
