[WN] Three Skills : Volume 1 Chapter 70


Volume 1

Chapter 70

I Met Up With Akana-san


Translator : PolterGlast


I started walking back to town.

I could already see the wall surrounding the town.

 

What did Kakyouin-san mean by that? She seemed to have figured something out on her own and just went somewhere.

Ugh... I'm sure this is going to be a big hassle───I don't know what it is, though. But even so, if I had taken off the ring there... what would Chrisya say? And besides, Kakyouin-san suddenly acted so strangely.

 

Ha... ...well, there's no point in thinking about it. For now, I'll go report to Akana-san.

 

As I was thinking that and walking,───

 

"………Huh?"

 

I saw someone standing by the wall.

 

"Is that..."

 

I recognized the person and approached her.

 

"Akana-san?"

 

She was wearing a dirty gray cloak with a hood, but there was no doubt that this person was Akana-san, the daughter of the Gilmberg noble family.

 

What is she doing here?

 

Akana-san, noticing my voice, shuddered and turned to face me.

 

At that moment, a bolt of lightning struck in the distance, and the sound followed, and it began to rain.

 

When I looked back, tears were streaming from Akana-san's eyes.

 

"Kushi, na...san...!"

 

At first, she seemed surprised by my voice from behind, but then she distorted her face as if she were overwhelmed by sadness and───

 

She buried her face in my stomach.

 

□□□

 

Going back in time.

 

Akana's POV

 

After asking Kushina-san to take care of the adventurers, I arrived late at the scene of the commotion.

 

There might still be adventurers there.

 

With that in mind, I peered out from behind a building, carefully observing the surroundings.

 

But contrary to my expectations, there were no adventurers around, and the situation seemed to have been resolved in a short time.

 

...Amazing. Despite all the commotion, it was resolved so quickly... Kushina-san is really on a different level.

I'm so glad Kushina-san is here. At least now, the people of the town will be able to calm down. Now, in order to help, I must also stand in front of the people of the town and be useful───

 

"This is all the Gilmberg family's fault!!"

 

I heard that voice as I was about to go in front of the townspeople.

 

Huh?

 

"That's right! There's no way the adventurers would do something like this! It's definitely because the Gilmberg family did something again!"

"Such a big incident, it must be those guys who are involved again!"

"It's all the Gilmberg family's fault!"

"That's right!"

"The Gilmberg family───!"

"───!"

 

The townspeople unanimously claimed that "this incident is the fault of the Gilmberg family (my family)".

 

Why... Why is that? It's strange... it's strange! We didn't do anything wrong this time!! And besides, it wasn't our fault last time either! Why... Why! Why!? Did it come to this!!?

 

Why...!

 

"…………!"

 

Then, I remembered the people who served my family. That's right... Are they all safe?

 

Now that the commotion had subsided, I began to worry about the safety of the soldiers who were on duty and the butlers and maids who were doing housework inside the mansion, and even though I knew the chances were slim, I couldn't help but check.

 

I turned around to go back to the mansion, but───

 

"Mpph!?"

 

Suddenly, my mouth was covered from behind and I was taken to the shadow of a building.

 

"Mmm〜〜〜!! Mmm〜〜〜〜〜!!!"

 

"Quiet, please be quiet───Akana-sama"

 

I heard the person who covered my mouth address me with honorifics, so I stopped resisting for a moment and peeked at the person's face.

I couldn't see it clearly because it was wrapped in a dirty cloak, but───it looked familiar.

 

Since I stopped struggling, the woman took her hand off my mouth, and I turned to face her.

 

The woman lifted the hood of her cloak.

 

"It's been a while, Akana-sama. I'm In, the intelligence agent."

 

"───!! I-!"

"Shhh! Be quiet. You'll be noticed."

 

Just as I was about to shout and alert the townspeople, In-san covered my mouth again with her hand and stopped me.

 

This person is an intelligence agent directly under the Gilmberg family───In, my family's personal information broker and jack-of-all-trades. She's a woman with distinctive reddish-purple twintails and freckles that never seem to go away. She's reliable and caring, and I still remember how she took care of me when I was little. She has big breasts and a good figure, and she was someone I used to admire.

 

Being careful not to shout again, I opened my mouth.

 

"S-Sorry"

 

"No, I apologize for being so rude."

 

"Y-You don't have to apologize, In-san. But why are you here?"

 

"………"

 

When I asked why she was here, she suddenly looked down and fell silent. What's wrong?

 

"In-san?"

 

"……………Akana-sama"

 

"Y-yes"

 

When In-san looked up at me with a determined look, I couldn't help but straighten my back.

 

No, I know that if a busy intelligence agent like her came to tell me something directly, it must be something very important... But somehow, I have a very bad feeling.

I felt sweat on my cheeks as I waited for her next words.

 

"Please listen calmly"

 

"Huh? Yes...…"

 

"Recently, the head of the family, Lord Nine, has passed away."

 

What In-san told me was about my father.
