Chapter 134.1

Chapter 134.1 \n<h1>Chapter 134 Smiling Vacation ②</h1>\n\nA day passed after we took a large detour to avoid Count Gladys’ territory, we arrived without incident at our destination ―― Surus town.Just as Sytry said, it was a small town built on the mountains. As she said they were famous for their Onsen, I can smell Onsen’s unique smell drifting from the whole town.

While feeling a bit *furafura* unsteady, I got out of the carriage. Since we had been chased by Arnold and his companions all this time, it had been a few days since we could stop in a town.

 

 

Image might be a little different because of the light novel version.

 

It wasn’t unusual for Hunters to spend several days journeying over Monster’s habitats. My survival skill had been quite honed and we have a great girl called Sytry, so our outdoor life had been quite fulfilling, but even so, as a half-retired Hunter, the forced march on the last few days has been quite exhausting. It is a pitiful story even though all I had been doing was to just sit in the carriage all the time.

I like baths. I like baths so much that I even have a bath in my private room in the Clan House. Liz and Tino had happily bathed in the lake, but I was too afraid of the crocodiles, so I didn’t do it, so I could only wipe myself with a towel dipped in hot water throughout the trip.I want to soak myself in the hot water as soon as possible. I also want to eat some Onsen Manju1. Even chocolate is fine. I want to eat something sweet.

Perhaps because of its fame as a tourist spot, Surus town’s charm was different from the Imperial Capital, there was an abundance of nature such as rock and trees in the town, giving a somewhat exotic atmosphere.\n

Perhaps they are off season, there weren’t many travelers. If it was here, then maybe no one would know who I am. It is a great town to hide myself.

The turmoil-loving Liz might not be satisfied about this, but there were already too many things happening since we left the Imperial Capital. Let’s take it easy for a week to ten days. I am sure this place will heal Tino, Black-san and his friends from their fatigue.

Sytry, who had been going through the procedures to enter the town at the gate, came back.

“What do you think? Of this town ――“ (Sytry)

“It’s nice, I like it. It is perfect for a short stay ―― And it seems that there aren’t many people here, right?” (Cry)

I like towns which are animated like they were having festivals, but I also like quiet towns like this one. In other words, I don’t mind anything as long as there aren’t any sparks flying onto me.

We were also far enough from the Garest Mountains where we shook off Arnold and the chances of bumping into him are equal to zero.Liz dragged Tino and immediately went to see the town. We can expect great souvenirs.

When I was in a good mood, Sytry smiled at me and said.

“I heard that the Onsen here are perfect for healing…… I have also heard that sometimes injured Hunters come here for treatment.” (Sytry)

“Healing, huh…… Nice……” (Cry)\nWell, I have never been seriously injured and Anthem has healed all of Liz and the other injuries perfectly, so it doesn’t really matter to us, but just the sound of that word is kind of attractive to me.It is a Hunter’s privilege to be able to easily go from one town to another. I am a little sad that Luke and the others aren’t here, but let’s enjoy this.

“I don’t have a hideout in this town, so we have to rent an inn somewhere to stay…… How many nights do you plan on staying here?” (Sytry)

 

“Uuun…… maybe around ten days to two weeks. Depending on the situation maybe it will be a little bit longer.” (Cry)

I am definitely not going back to the Imperial Capital until I am sure that the White Sword Gathering is over.At my words, Sytry’s expression turned thoughtful for a moment, but soon regained her smile.

I am sorry to monopolize Sytry and Liz who are always so busy, but lives are at stake here. If I am unreasonable, they will say so.

“I understand. Therefore, I will proceed…… As you said” (Sytry)

Sytry disappeared in a short run. Even when I am not here, I am sure it is something she does all the time, but seeing her like this makes the difference with her sister noticeable.We have some time, it might be a good idea to reward Sytry for her hard work too.

\nBy the way, I had thought of installing tatami mats in my private room in the Clan House, but Evan pointed out that it was a bad idea. Well, it is because it gets dirty easily.

By the way, a room with tatami mats in Zebrudia is quite expensive. If the price is the same as in the Imperial Capital, it must be about ten times more expensive than an ordinary room. I am sure Eva will scold me again if she finds out I rented a place like this.
