Chapter 8 Episode 2/1-2 - Storyline

Distress and Reunion

Adelbert Edgar Seriolde	...
Rebecca Fiona	...
Edgar	It's hot...
Adelbert	Don't say it, Edgar. I'm desperately holding back too...
Edgar	That's what I say, Adelbert...
Adelbert	We are the leaders. We cannot let His Majesty and the two women who are watching their back feel uneasy...
Edgar	That's right... I guess I should be a little more careful...!
Adelbert	What's up, Edgar?
Rebecca	To be honest, I'm already worried right now...!
Fiona	Hmm, will it still take time until the next oasis?
Seriolde	No. I think we'll be there soon. You can see the mountains right over there, right? The oasis that exists in the desert has underground water gushing out from that mountain. So...
Edgar	You have some leeway.
Seriolde	I'm used to traveling in the Desert Zone. My wife's parents' house is here.
Edgar	Married...!? At that age!
Seriolde	Yeah, but... Is that weird?
Edgar	No, I think it's admirable. Your determination to shoulder the burden of a woman's life... As expected of the current King of Gluttony...
Adelbert	Isn't that so...? Our Majesty is... the best in the world...
Adelbert Edgar	...
Fiona	Edgar!?
Rebecca	They fell flat on their back while he was talking! Are they okay!?
Seriolde	They seem to be suffering from heat stroke. They don't drink any water, so I thought it was strange, but... There's a hole in the bottom of their water bottle... I guess they were killed when they encountered a monster in the desert on the way...
Rebecca	P-please report that kind of thing properly!
Edgar	No... I can't make the ladies and the boy feel bad...
Adelbert	Surprisingly, I thought it would work out somehow...
Fiona	You don't need that kind of consideration!
Rebecca	What are you going to do? To be honest, I don't think we'll be able to carry two adult men around with our current condition.
Seriolde	That's right... Lady Rebecca, you were definitely a witch. Can you use flight magic?
Rebecca	Huh? Yes, that's true...
Seriolde	We have avoided using Alchemy to improve the situation as much as possible for fear of attracting attention, but we have no choice. We have no choice but to have you go ahead and send people out of the oasis.
Rebecca	Is there a possibility that we will be attacked by monsters again in the meantime? Excuse me, but Lord Seriolde and Lady Fiona don't seem to know much about trouble.
Fiona	Hmm... Sorry.
Rebecca	I'm not blaming you. He just said that with the two guards down, I shouldn't leave this place...
Seriolde	You're right... Well, I'll accept that kind of risk because it's better than being wiped out.
Rebecca	It doesn't suit your face and is dry.
Seriolde	Is that so? I think it's a pretty lenient decision.
Edgar	He's a little better than you two...
Rebecca	Huh? Wait a minute, what are you doing?! What if the sound you just made drew a monster to you...!
Fiona	No. This is the sound of wheels. A desert-style alchemy carriage made by Slothstein...?
Edgar	Hehehe... When I put my ear to the ground... I felt a very faint vibration...
Rebecca	However, please consult with us first before doing so!
Edgar	Oh, that was bad!
Kamui	When I heard a sudden gunshot sound, I turned to see what was going on. What are you guys doing...?
