NT: So… lets talk about words that i hate… Good grief… i don’t get it, no, i mean, i get it, but i don’t know how to translate it and… is annoying
「I did it… I got it!」
The Girl shouted, with a voice full of joy, when she finally managed to break the rock wall of the Dungeon, while raising a rock that emitted a white light.
「Oh~? What is that you picked up?」
「Uh? that voice…!?」
The Girl, who was surprised by Palna’s sudden voice, turned around.
「So you came today after all, what about your work?」
「That… I went out during my break.. So, well, what are you doing here, Palna-san?」
「The tourism group lacked personnel, so they designated me as Guide for today. But you should already know that, now, why do you think I’m here?」
Palna said with a meaningful smile on her face as she approached the Girl. On the other hand, the Girl, Alice, whose eyes seemed to be the only thing that had not changed after these three years, turned her gaze away as she dropped a cold drop of sweat.
「Seriously, you used to be so brave and honest in the past, but it seems that the inside has changed as much as the outside… Onee-san is sad. I wonder where I’m wrong?」
NT: You should already know, but … Onee-san would be “Sister”. The use of the word is not limited only to individuals of the same family. They are usually also used by people who maintain a certain closeness when there is a difference in age.
「I-I haven’t changed at all! This is a very important job!」
Alice said, protesting Palna’s words as she puffed out her cheeks.
Alice was two heads taller than she was 3 years ago. At the beginning she grew slowly, however, after turning 16, she began to grow at a higher speed, in addition, her figure stopped being that of a girl, and instead, began to look more like that of a woman.
Even so, she kept wrapping her horns, which grew behind her head, with the cloth that Kagami had given her to hide them, on the other hand, her appearance while working at the Casino with a smile on her face had become more beautiful, actually, she currently had many more fans than before.
「Yeah, yeah, I will hear your excuses when we return to the City. Come on, David asked me to take you back. You should be more aware as our Poster Girl*… also, that clothes」
NT: I don’t really sure about what should i put here, nor in spanish, nor en english, i just ain’t sure, so, i just gonna put that and hope that it works… errrm, that thing should refers to those girl on the publicity… like a mascot… the mascot of the Casino…
Palna said while looking at the clothes Alice was wearing. Alice used to wear a simple and practical attire that allowed her to move freely, and almost never took it off. However, right now, she was wearing a short-sleeved adventure jacket and shorts, and a small bag was also on her waist. She was dressed in the kind of outfit that an Adventurer with the role of Thief would normally use.
「What happened to the clothes I bought you last night?」
「They didn’t let me move much, and besides, I didn’t… like those clothes either. A-Ah, no! I mean, I didn’t want it to get dirty, so forgive me, Palna-san!」
「Ha~a… it doesn’t matter, why do I care about anyway? Even so, don’t ever come back to a place as dangerous as this one. You just make everyone worry when you do it」
「Its okay, I’m a Demon so I can fight pretty good」
Alice said as she lifted her arm. Palna showed a tired look when she saw her do that.
In fact, Alice had already reached Level 118, and her strength was comparable to that of the previous Rex and Krull.
Demons automatically level up as they grow. However, this also works in reverse. Taking that into account, it was very clear how hard Alice had been working, who was only Level 23 three years ago, when anyone admired how much she had grown.
「Isn’t that just because the Monsters don’t attack you? The best thing is to keep an eye on your fans in case they try to kidnap you again」
Two years ago, Alice was kidnapped by a group of fans who had visited the Casino. Fortunately, she did not suffer any harm since these were driven by harmless desires, in addition, the incident could be resolved in less than half a day thanks to David, Takako and Menou, who became the embodiment of the wrath when they found out what happened .
Even so, Palna, who still felt remorse for what she had done in the past, could not help but think that herself should also make sure to keep Alice protected, so she decided that she should become stronger.
As a result of that, Palna also increased her Level.
「You do not need to remind me of that… But you’re right, I don’t know what I was thinking, I’m sorry, Palna-san」
「Well, I may also be too restrictive with so much care that I try to give you. I know you’ve become much stronger, but you’ve also been starting to get away without permission more often… I will not tell you that you can not go out once in a while, but at least make sure you tell someone before, okay? 」
Palna said as she let out a sigh while caressing Alice’s head. Alice, who knew that Palna understood more than anyone the pain of losing someone close, honestly reflected on her scolding while smiling, happy that Palna cared for her, while answering, 「Yes」.
「Well, now, you seemed to be celebrating having found something… what was it?」
「Ah, this? It’s a Spawn Block! The super rare object capable of producing Monsters! I finally found it!」
Alice said as she showed Palna the crystal that emitted a pale light.
The Spawn Blocks were essentially rocks that absorbed the Magic Power of the Demons to produce Monsters. However, when the Spawn Block is manipulated, it can become an item capable of absorbing the Magic Power of the Demons and turning it into something completely harmless.
The white cloth that was wrapped around Alice’s horns was made with a Spawn Block, and that was why Alice did not have to worry about her Magical Power seeping through.
「So you had been going out to look for this. Couldn’t you just have bought it instead of looking for it?」
「No, theses are too expensive! I don’t have much money! The Spawn Block have started to be commercialized since the exchanges with the Demons have become more frequent, but even the smallest ones are worth 2 Golds, you know?
「He~e … To think that they were worth so much. I had never tried to buy one so i did not sap it. So? What did you want it for? Do you plan to sell it? You said it was a job, so, are you supposed to find it?
「No. I use them to make ornaments for the horns. Cute and nice ornaments that the Demons can use 」
Palna did not take long to understand Alice’s intentions when she saw the smile she put on while saying that.
「To fulfill your dream?」
「Yes. Although it’s not just my dream 」
「Ooh, that’s a great job」
Although exchanges between Humans and Demons had been increasing lately, not all Demons could use some kind of cloth or tool made with Spawn Blocks capable of suppressing their Magic Power. Actually, most did not use it.
There were several reasons for this. Some said it was too expensive while another did not understand why they should wrap their horns with a cloth for the sake of Humans.
That’s why Alice was striving to create some easy-to-use decorations for the Demons just to be able to get closer to the World where Humans and Demons could live side by side without prejudice or discrimination.
