Chapter 153 - Hauzen Reconstruction

I couldn’t help thinking like that.

[Fai, you look awfully chipper. Are you that happy to return to Hauzen?]

[Yeah, of course. This place is like my hometown after all]

Roxy who was sitting on the magic bike’s backseat apparently took note of my smile, which prompted her to smile as well.

[I also cannot wait to visit the city!]

[I get it, okay, calm down. It’s not like you can drive this.]

[Uuuu. Get in quickly! Let’s do this then!]

[Oiiii!?]

[Fai! This is too fast! HyaaaAAAAAAAaaaa]

[Watch out, watch out.]

[How fun!]

[ [ Not fun! ] ]

[Roxy…sorry]

[Yes, I get it.]

While I was thinking all that, we had already swerved past Hauzen.

[Goodbye…Hauzen]

[Stop with the melancholic tone! We will return as soon as we slow down. I am more concerned about what Eris-sama will tell us after this.]

[Funny, I also had the same thought.]

[Let us not talk about that anymore then.]

Roxy pinched my cheek from behind me. Snow laughed from seeing this.

[Your face looks even weirder that it already is.]

[What did you say!?]

Doesn’t that mean she thinks that my face looks weird all the time?

[Roxy… this is…]

[Alright, I guess that is enough… Let us return to Hauzen once we slow down.]

By the time we approached Hauzen, Eris and Mimir could be seen waiting for us at the outer gate.

[Really! Leaving us by speeding off like that again.]

[I think he’s not, Mimir. He actually left us and went past Hauzen, as if trying to go somewhere. I almost thought he wanted to escape]

[There is a reason for that!]

I just got off of the magic bike, but Mimir and Eris were already all over me.

[It’s because Snow was impatient. We were about to crash into Hauzen. Since both of you rode right behind us, I thought you should be able to tell.]

[Ahahaha, Fate’s frustrated face is also amusing to watch.]

[Indeed it does, Eris-sama.]

[You two…]

[It’s been a while, Fate.]

[Seto!]

[Fate, welcome back!]

[I’m back!]

[I can do that too! Fate, welcome back!]

[You’re different! Didn’t we come here together earlier!]

Without listening to what I said, Snow insisted on continuing mimicking what Ann did.

[Fate! Quick, say the ‘I’m back’ part!]

[…I’m back.]

Fuu~. While I struggled with Ann and Snow’s hug, Seto was watching in amusement.

[Is this kid… Fate’s daughter?]

[We don’t even look alike no matter how you see it]

[I guess so. She doesn’t look like Fate at all, cause I’m sure she’ll grow into a beautiful woman later on.]

[You spoke too much.]

[Then whose kid is she?]

[We found this child in the middle of the Desert.]

[Roxy-sama! Welcome to Hauzen.]

[You do not have to act so polite to me… I will not mind. I am here not bearing my family name, but just as a regular warrior after all.]

[No, I can’t do that. To be able to meet the famous Roxy Heart in person, I’m extremely happy.]

Then, a certain grumpy Queen stepped on Seto’s foot.

[Oh, Seto. You got some guts for ignoring me after I have come all the way here.]

[Eris-sama! That’s not what I mean.]

[What’s the difference? Don’t you need to greet me first of all people here?]

[Please pardon me for the mistake.]

[Rather than that, let’s just enter Hauzen already.]

[Eee, but I’m not done yet.]

[Stop already!]

I grabbed Eris’ hand, and dragged her along to pass through the outer gate.

[Roxy and Mimir too, let’s go. Seto, how long are you going to stay there? There are lots of things we need to talk about.]

[Ah, please wait. Come on, Ann, and Snow-chan too.]
