Nell Reckless
The limited express train that left the sacramental city of Ruin continued running on the long continental railroad for more than a whole night, and finally the contours of the city came into view beyond the horizon.
“Sacred Spring City Mar-La.”
It’s the same as Ruin with a steel wall surrounding it.
After crossing the scorching heat of the wilderness, the limited express train finally reached its destination.
“We’ve arrived——!”
“There that is!”
Pearl tumbles out of the train’s exit.
Behind her, Reche energetically jumped out with her eyes shining brightly.
“Ah… I didn’t feel alive last night…”
“Is this the Holy Spring City of Mar-La? Now then, what to play. What are the famous game of this place? First of all, we have to visit the game shops!”
Both of them rushed out, but after that, it was complete opposite.
Pearl staggered down on the bench.
Where on the other hand, Reche looks around like a tourist travelling at some tourist spot.
“…Both of you forgot your luggage behind.”
Fei was the last of them.
While holding a carry case for three people, including Pearl, Reche, and himself.
“Eh? What happened to Pearl?”
“…I’m savouring the joy of being alive, Fei-san.”
A hoarse voice came from Pearl lying on her back.
“Finally, finally. As long as we have entered the city, we won’t have to worry about being attacked by those dinosaur Rex…”
“You’re over exaggerating, Pearl.”
“Didn’t we actually get attacked!?”
Pearl stood up with a jerk.
With small tears visibly accumulating in the very corners of her lovely eyes.
“When I thought the earth was rumbling, right then dinosaurs larger than elephants ran toward the train from the twilight horizon, drooling, I thought we were all over!”
“Ah, when the three of us were playing dominoes.”
“That way of saying it ruins the tension altogether!?”
“No… even I thought we were at a bad spot as well. Just that…”
The Continental Railroad line is lined with fireballs spells to avoid beasts.
But.
A large carnivorous beast that found its prey — like the dinosaur Rex, sometimes attacked trains without the fear of flames.
……Because hunters and magicians were also on board the train. Escorting us.
……it wouldn’t actually become a big incident.
Well regardless, Passengers’ worries disappeared in an instant.
But why–
“Hey Pearl”
“Yes”
“From a human perspective, the earth seems full of dangers, but from the perspective of Gods, they are nothing special.”
Because they pissed off the Dragon God Leo Reshe.
When Reche was happily playing dominoes, the dominoes fell one by one because of the roar from those dinosaur Rex.
At that moment, Reche’s eyes instantly changed to “God” mode.
“…………Don’t get in the way of my game”
“Get Lost”
One dekopin.
[TL notes: flick]
The moment Reche flicked her finger in the air while sitting on her seat, the swarm of dinosaurs running several hundred meters ahead were blown away instantly.
The total weight being at least dozens of tons.
God’s telekinesis and psychokinesis. Its power and scale, everything is on an order of magnitude higher than what a human magician can ever achieve.
“That dinosaur Rex was bouncing off the ground like a ping-pong ball…”
“Because it was blown away like a pebble…”
“Let’s never make her angry.”
Such was the conversation going beween Pearl and Fei looking while nodding at each other――
“Hey Fei! There’s a department store over there, which means there’s also a toy section!”
Reche turned around, with her eyes twinkling.
Such a childlike innocence.
“Let’s go!”
“… Ah. That’s right. We have to go visit the Mar-Ra branch of the Mystery Court for lunch, and it’s still an hour away. Can we even afford it? We haven’t had our breakfast as well.”
“Leave it to me!”
Pearl turned around this time.
She raised her hand straight up as to ask her to be depended upon.
“It’s the place to eat in this sacred spring city! If you’re in the First Avenue department store, how about going to the gourmet area in the basement? The specialty is the ‘Manpuku Shokudo”s large cutlet curry, and the ‘Mikazuki Cafe’ beef sandwich, while the dessert is ‘Dokkoi’. Do’s special melon parfait is also good!”
“…Pearl, from where did you get that information?”
“Last night. I’ve got all the city’s restaurants memorised in my mind!”
「――――」
“Even though you can’t memorize the placement of cards and have a nervous breakdown.”
“Even though you can’t line up more than 9 dominoes in a row, and splendidly knock the dominoes down.”
Her memory that was able to memorize all the restaurants, locations and menus of the city overnight.
“… gluttony should definitely be feared.”
“Fei-san? What’s wrong?”
“No, it’s nothing. Well, if you remember the place, I’ll ask you for directions to the Mystic Court.”
“I don’t know the location of the Mystic Court.”
“Are you only specializing in food!? ……Then, can I just ask the directions for those store.”
“And so I am requested!”
Pearl starts running towards the ticket gate of the station.
Or so I thought.
When she stopped going a few steps and pointing straight in front of her.
“Arre? Fei-san, over there…”
The Main gate right after exiting the ticket gate.
A tall girl who looked like an athlete was standing there.
She has glossy black hair. She has the sleeves of her simple shirt rolled up over her shoulders, and her arms clenched powerfully.
She’s probably older than Pearl.
She’s the same as my Fei, or maybe one level higher than my Fei.
Although she has such a grown-up appearance, her pure and innocent gaze leaves something of a young girl.
“Nevertheless.”
There is another reason why Pearl took the trouble to pay attention to the station where a large number of people came and went.
In a nutshell–
“A very suspicious person is waiting for us…”
yes.
“The black-haired girl was suspicious.”
First of all, she has a bright red headband wrapped around her forehead. What kind of cheerleader does she look like, and she is holding a big flag in her hands, like a cheerleader wielding it.
“Fei-sama, Pearl-sama, and Leoreche-sama’s party”
“A warm welcome. Welcome to my city! 』
she stands out too much.
People at the station are avoiding the area around her, wondering what the hell is going on with her.
“… what is that human”
“Even Reche spoke with a bewildered tone.”
“…I wonder if it’s our malicious fan.”
“… I’m a bit of a jerk too.”
“… shhh. Be quiet. It’ll be troublesome if we’re found.”
exchange glances.
The hunch that the three of them had in mind was “it seems better not to get involved”. Believing in that chill, I secretly pass through the corner of the ticket gate.
“Listen, I’ll pretend to be someone else and run away. Covered in the crowd――”
“Nn!?”
The black-haired girl turned around.
She must have sensed voices or footsteps. In the people coming and going, I saw the appearance of Fei and the three, and then I opened my eyes.
“Aaaaaah! No way, the one who is there――――”
“Found it!?”
“Well, this is bad, Fei-san!?”
“RUN!”
“Start running at full speed.”
A black-haired girl raised her voice at the back of Fei and the others.
“… wait! Why are you running away!? I’m not a suspicious person at all!”
“It must be very suspicious!”
“It’s a mass of aura that you don’t want to get close to!”
“Fei and the others won’t stop.”
Just when I was about to push straight through the main street in front of me.
A gust of wind blew.
“Should I say “Gyuon” as an analogy?”
I heard the soles of my shoes rub against the asphalt road. By the time I thought that, a black-haired girl was passing us with the momentum of a whirlwind.
she was turned around.
“……yes?”
The dumbfounded Pearl blinked.
“I need time to understand what happened.” A black-haired girl came running from behind with a speed that left an afterimage in the air.
“Even Fei was at a loss for words at once.”
“… Wait, it’s too soon!” ?
“…we were 50 meters apart, but he caught up with us in two seconds!” ?
“It’s not human work.”
Then there is only one answer. He is an apostle given power by God.
A superhuman type that strengthens the body.
“That’s probably the divine curse Arise that strengthens your legs.”
“…Are you an apostle?”
“I will give you my name!”
With her black hair flowing, a tall girl put her hand to her own chest.
“My name is Nell Reckles. As you can guess, I was an apostle belonging to the Holy Spring City of Mar-Ra.”
“Were you an apostle?”
“Minor sense of incongruity.”
Before Fei could point out or make a decision about the “implicit” of the girl who called herself Nell. The air around me froze at his next words.
“Fei-dono, please make me your woman!”
