Chapter 143, Flowers on the Barren Mountain

by Silavin — Translator: Barnnn The season was turning, the meadows softening into green as flowers and grasses waited for the first breath of spring. Along the highway, a boxy, weatherworn horsebus rattled along at a brisk pace. On the driver's bench sat Ize, calling to the pair of horses from time to time. "Hiro, Take! Just half a day more and we'll reach the village! Once we're there, I'll give you a proper brushing, using the custom brushes they used at the Speraniessa Lord's manor's…

Chapter 144, Wishes in Palette

by Silavin — Translator: Barnnn The next morning dawned bright -- the day of the festival. When Ize awoke, cheerful voices drifted in from the street, the people calling to one another as they made their way toward the mountain. The inn was some distance from the village center, but as it happened, that placed it right along the route to the mountain path. Hal, leaning out the small window, beckoned to Fieda and Ize. "Hey, look! Their clothes... they look like the wishes'…

Chapter 145, Thoughts in Brushstrokes

by Silavin — Translator: Barnnn By the time the trio began their climb, the mountaintop had already begun to bloom with color. Their assigned area must have been fairly large, because even from halfway up, the fresh paint could be clearly distinguished. "This is beautiful," Ize said, gazing up. "Even just one section is enough to make you stop and stare." "It'll be spectacular once it's all covered," Hal replied. Fieda gave a low chuckle. "If you're looking from far away, it doesn't…

Chapter 138, Reunion and Shock

by Silavin — Translator: Barnnn On the first rest day of February, the trio was just returning from an outing in town when they were stopped in the entrance hall by one of the maids. "Master Fieda, Master Hal, Master Ize. Lord Gruash requests that you come to the reception room. You have visitors." "Visitors?" Fieda parroted. "Friends of Gruash, maybe?" Hal guessed. "Who could it be?" Ize murmured. "Can we meet them looking like this?" Hal asked, glancing down at their casual…

Chapter 139, Thunder King and Curry

by Silavin — Translator: Barnnn Lightning ripped the air. BOOM! CRACK! Rumble, rumble... KA-BOOM! FLASH! CLANG! Rolling thunder answered in long, snarling growls. A chorus of screams and shouts followed. "Yaaahhh!" "Uwoooh!" "Hyahahaha!" "Whaaah!" "Mm!" "Kyooo!" On the ninety-second floor of the Speraniessa Dungeon, blinding arcs of light tore across the sprawling wetland. Steam hissed from the ground in thick, curling plumes,…

Chapter 140, Rarity and Explosion

by Silavin — Translator: Barnnn Tomorrow, they would reach the ninety-third floor, the halfway point of the current Dungeon run. When Ize heard the name of the Mystic Beast waiting there, her face lit up. "The Melt Toad?" "That's right." Wardon nodded. "The strongest of the Toad family, but..." He let the words hang and smiled at her. "But...?" "Its meat is even better than Silk Toad." "Uooohhh!" Ize cried. "No way! We're DEFINITELY eating that!" Hal…

Chapter 141, Costumes and Advice

by Silavin — Translator: Barnnn When they emerged from the Dungeon and returned to the surface, the calendar had already turned to March. The wind still gusted from time to time, but it no longer carried winter's knife-edge chill. Ize, pausing at the entrance to the manor's main building, smoothed her wind-tossed hair with her fingers. She straightened the ribbon at her waist, which had shifted slightly as she walked, then followed the maid who had gone in ahead of her. The room she entered was…

Chapter 136, Return and Interrogation

by Silavin — Translator: Barnnn Exactly as planned, the brothers returned. Loudipa was now officially the territory's Lord, and Gruash, true to his word, was once again "his own man." And they brought with them enormous news: "Long story short, the King will be replaced this coming spring," Loudipa announced the moment he arrived, practically beaming. "Then there will be no more fools picking fights with Speraniessa! You can rest easy now, Ize. You're free to marry me whenever you'd…

Chapter 137, Introductions and Disguises

by Silavin — Translator: Barnnn Rossalie was summoned to the room to explain the situation. At Gruash's gentle prompting, she reached into her Magic Bag and carefully set two Mandragoras on the floor. "This one is Madhur," she said. "Pyattsun!" chirped the little creature. "And this is Shahad." "Peppou!" Madhur's red, round body wobbled as it gave a shy curtsy. Shahad, the more spirited of the two, waved the leaves on its head. Rossalie beamed with satisfaction as she…

Chapter 142, Goals and Promises

by Silavin — Translator: Barnnn In early March, Volhelm and Wardon departed. Volhelm's group would arrive ahead of them to make preparations for receiving their "escort target." They'd told the others to take their time and enjoy the journey, so the trio decided to take them at their word. In just a few days, Fieda's group would set off as well. But before they could leave, there was one last matter to attend to. "Everyone, thank you for waiting! Perhaps I've kept you waiting far too…
