Chapter 191 Fully Prepared

Part 2

…… Should I say it?

“Calm down, Franz-san. Those are just in case we run out of your Potions. Moreover, look, I didn’t just prepare potions. I have also prepared food as well.” (Cry)

To be precise, it was the Alchemy Ghost who prepared everything……

Franz-san said in a demon-like manner. He was completely against it.

“Tsk…… You little! We have already, prepared, plenty of food!” (Franz)

“It is for when we run out of it. A desert is a big place, and if the airship crashes, the food you have will probably not be enough. Look, I have also prepared water.” (Cry)

When you say desert, it means getting stranded. I am wearing my shirt-Relic so I am still fine, but even the Barrier Ring that His Majesty is wearing won’t protect him from sun rays.

“………………” (Franz)

No words came back to me when I said my explanation confidently. I looked up and gasped when I saw Franz-san’s face.

Franz-san, who had been bright red just a moment ago, had lost all his emotion. He was staring at me with an expressionless face.

I wonder if I said something strange. As I stiffened, Franz-san asked me in a voice that sounded like it was coming from the depths of hell.

“…… What, is going, to happen?” (Franz)

.

“Eh……?” (Cry)

What is he talking about?

When I was staring in wonder, Franz-san closed in on me. The knight under Franz-san’s command who came with him didn’t stop him either.

“I am asking you what will happen! 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》! Bastard, are you joking around? If you know what is going to happen, then prevent it before it happens! Report it” (Franz)

“!?” (Cry)

He grabbed me by the collar and *gakugaku* shook me violently, making me dizzy. The grabbing move is one of the few attacks where my Barrier Ring doesn’t work.

“I don’t… I don’t know! I don’t know!” (Cry)

“Don’t! Lie! You want to die!?” (Franz)

I tried to argue pathetically, but Franz-san didn’t believe me at all. He had a dangerous expression on his face.

You know I am no god, so I can’t possibly know what the future holds. What I am doing is the most natural thing for a Hunter to do.

“Calm, calm down――They are for precautions, just for precautions!” (Cry)

“From what planet! Does someone! Bring enough supplies! To open a store! Just for! Precautions! There is no way I will allow it! Are you taking me! For a idiot!” (Franz)

“Here! There is one here!” (Cry)

He was shaken for a while, but he finally calmed down a bit, stopped being rough with me, and released me.

Seriously, it is so troublesome that nobles are so domineering. It is true that there are a lot but…… It wasn’t like I was asking you to load everything up. I am just asking you to put in as much as possible. Shouldn’t you be glad that, for once, I am doing my job as an escort?

As Franz-san breathed while moving his shoulder, he said.

“The airship…… Won’t fall. It has never fallen.” (Franz)

“U-Un, un, that’s right. Franz-san is absolutely right. I also think that nine out of ten that it won’t crash. This is why this is just for precautions. Hahaha…… It is because I am such a scaredy-cat.” (Cry)

Let’s just laugh it out and ask for his forgiveness.

I agree with Franz-san while I laugh out loud, but Franz-san said with a tense expression.

“In other words, this is, what you are trying to say. The most advanced airship of Zebrudia, the pride of Zebrudia which has never fallen on any weather conditions and during any Monsters attack has…… A ten percent chance of crashing?” (Franz)

“…………” (Cry)

Apparently, there was a misunderstanding.? Why does everyone try to twist my words?

Just so you know, what I am saying is pretty random. It is because I don’t think about what I am saying. To the point that sometimes I even let Sytry do everything for me.

Franz-san seems to be nervous because he is escorting the Emperor, but I don’t think this escort will fail. I doubt this escort will fail anyway. Term is also here, so he will somehow be able to handle it.

To reassure Franz-san who was upset, I said.

“…… It is alright, Franz-san. Even if the ship falls, I will pick up His Majesty the Emperor.” (Cry)

“………… Tsk. Oi, check the airship once again to make sure there is nothing malfunctioning! The identity of everyone who gets on board too! Find out everything that could make it crash! Do it in two days! I won’t let it fall! I definitely won’t let it fall, 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》! I will never let you get what you want! Damn it!” (Franz)

Franz-san was trembling, but he quickly ordered his men nearby as if he was yelling at them and glared at me.

No, well, it is not like I want it to fall……

Why was I being yelled at when I should have shown him an 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 that is useful?

…… Well, whatever. I am used to being angry at. Once the escort is safely over, Franz-san and I should be able to make peace.

I have given the instructions I needed to give. All I really needed to do was the final preparation――Carpet practice. It had killed me a lot of time, but I came up with a good way to get along with it.

It is a strategy to bait it with something. I don’t know if it will work or not, but I will give it a try.

Now then, I wonder if there are any…… Cute carpets for sale in this city that the Rebellious Carpet would like.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading! Sorry couldn’t post it yesterday, but here’s the chapter!

Every time Cry says 1/10 chance of something it is in fact 9/10! XD

Cry and his godlike “luck”. I’m sure he will make an awesome team Kamijou Touma!

Tchao à plus!
