Chapter 164
(164) When leaving the island
Translator: Tseirp
“Ichino-sama, you’ve worked hard . ”
In a certain hidden room in the center of the labyrinth, Carol came to greet me .
Sheena told me that night had already passed and it was about ten minutes past seven in the morning . In other words, I had continuously hunted monsters all night .
“Carol, did you not sleep by any chance?”
“Yes . Pionia-san has been constructing the ship so Carol figured that the least Carol could do was prepare everyone’s food — Pionia-san has already had her dinner and breakfast . Ichino-sama, would you like to eat now?”
Carol said as she showed me the breakfast arranged on top of a table beside her . That table wasn’t there yesterday so did she bring it over? I did leave the door to My World open after all .
Delicious dishes were lined up on the table .
Fruits took up the majority of the dishes but there were meat dishes as well . It looked like it took quite some effort .
“Did Carol make all of this?”
I considered Carol’s cooking ability . It’s a little rude but I don’t think it is possible for her to make this meal with her ability .
” … No, Carol isn’t really good with cooking so Carol had No . 3-san’s help . ”
I see, so Sheena made it . Just like Pionia, their specs are superb .
“I see . Thank you for helping too . I only munched on dried meat for dinner so I was feeling hungry . ”
I looked at Sheena as well and said,
“Thank you too, Sheena . ”
“Don’t mention it, it is Sheena No . 3’s duty to help master . I am glad to be able to aid master before the end . ”
As expected, Sheena had already given up .
Soon, the revived monster would come to destroy this island .
I went to train in order to do something about that monster but I couldn’t tell Sheena about it . I knew that she would oppose it and there was also a selfish reason .
(If I find that my life is in danger, I would most likely abandon this child . )
That in itself gave me an intense sense of guilt .
If I die here, Carol would also perish with me . Even if I sent Carol to My World, she would not be able to open the door that connects back to this world without me .
It’s not only Carol . If I die, I can’t tell what would happen to Haru and Malina who are registered as my slaves .
I ate breakfast together with Carol . Since I had to replenish my physical strength, I filled my belly as much as possible .
When I was about to drink my final gulp of tea, a large tremor hit our breakfast dining table .
“Master, please, it is about time you left this island . It is dangerous . The ship is already complete too . ”
I thought that we still had more time but,
“I will ask once again . Even if I order you or appeal to you, you will not come with us?”
“Yes . Since it is an order from grandmaster . ”
Sheena answered without missing a beat . She was adamant in showing her intention of not budging .
That Demon Lord Famiris‧Raritei also gave such an unnecessary command . Even though she has already died, that command still can’t be withdrawn .
” … I see . Thank you, I’ve been in your care . I want to show my thanks somehow but do you have anything you want me to do for you?”
Upon hearing my question, Sheena was a little troubled as she held her tongue .
Then —
“I have a phrase I wish to hear from master before the end — ”
“A phrase you want me to say?”
What exactly would it be?
Words of love? It wasn’t that kind of atmosphere .
“What is it?”
“The words『I’m going, see you later . 』”
“That’s all?”
“Yes . ”
I wondered why Sheena wanted to hear those words but I said it to her .
“I’m going, see you later, Sheena . ”
“Yes, take care, master . ”
(TL: It’s the ‘Ittekimasu/Itterashai’ pair of phrases Japanese use, said to loved ones when they leave for work or go out etc . ‘Ittekimasu’ roughly means ‘I’m going, see you later’ while ‘Itterashai’ would be ‘Have a safe trip’ . )
Sheena replied and bowed deeply . I was unable to see her expression .
However, I looked at her figure as I muttered ‘See you later’ once more and headed to the labyrinth exit together with Carol .
At the labyrinth exit, the monkeys sent us off from the treetops .
And then, looking at the sole exit, the pool of hot spring had apparently cooled significantly and it was the perfect temperature to swim in . It looks like Sheena No . 3 had adjusted the water temperature .
“Ah that’s right, we must pass through here . Carol, please return to My World for now . Only I have to dive into the water . ”
“Okay, please excuse me . ”
I opened My World using my Hikikomori skill and allowed Carol to enter .
Then, I dived into the water .
I totally didn’t imagine something like this would happen when I first dived into this pool .
I surfaced onto ground .
Naturally, the ice I released had already melted .
Then, I walked straight through the forest and headed to the beach .
“I couldn’t make it in the end huh … I’ll make do somehow . ”
I confirmed my jobs before arriving at the beach .
【Jobless Lv97 Fire Magician Lv60 ★ Water Magician Lv56 Wind Magician Lv56 Earth Magician Lv60 ★】
I reached the peak for Fire Magician and Earth Magician an hour before I had my breakfast .
I had to give up on maxing out Water Magician and Wind Magician as, according to Sheena’s announcement, the monsters’ respawn would not happen for a while but my current magical attack power was already heaven-piercing .
With this power, I can even defeat the Demon Lord .
Determined, I arrived at the beach .
An extremely calm sea was spread in front of my eyes .
