Day 76: Suddenly, Ms. Noa!!
Holy Era 6102, Month of the Water Serpent, 28th day.
Weather: Rain, occasionally cloudy
Uhh… My brother has become even more troublesome after yesterday.
To be precise, he is more clingy than usual… But it’s hot and I want him to stay away!
I was a fool to let my guard down… He is a menace! A menace!
…Still, we are in the rain together once again, relying on the light of the ring as we climb the steep mountain.
The light has become much stronger, so we should be able to meet up soon…
As I thought of such things, my brother grabbed my arm and hugged me.
Hmph!! He really needs to give it a rest!
But just as I was about to object, my brother suddenly kicked something in front of us.
Immediately after, the roar of a beast echoed around us.
In surprise, I looked ahead and saw a single monkey glaring at us…
But it was no ordinary monkey… Its entire body was covered in rocks.
It was like a monkey-type golem? A monkey with rock armor? Something like that.
…I have never seen such a monkey before.
Apparently, there are a lot of monsters in the world that I’ve never seen before.
After we glared at each other for a moment, the rock monkey began to move.
Wait, it’s rolling down the slope!?
It rolled up into a ball and came down like a stone.
Its speed was so fast that one would take damage if hit. However, while holding me, my brother dodged it with minimal movement.
The rock monkey continued to roll down the slope… Uh, is that it?
As I was stunned by this unexpected turn of events, my brother started to walk again as if nothing had happened.
…Hey!? Wait a minute. You’re not going to address that!?
As I asked while chasing after him, my brother said it was nothing…
…Nothing? For some reason, it was really unsatisfying!!
After that, we continued our way on the mountain path without event. And before we knew it, the sun had come down.
Hah. We were not able to meet Ms. Noa today either…
As I sighed and prepared the camp site, the ring on my right hand began to glow very brightly, and then it dimmed completely…
Huh!? What was that!? Had something happened to Ms. Noa!?
I couldn’t help myself. I began to shout frantically to the ring. Ms. Noa! Ms. Noa!!
And then I suddenly heard it. Did you call? A gentle voice from behind…
…Huh? I turned around… And there was…Ms. Noa? Ms. Noa!!
While her hair and maid uniform were tattered and dirty, it was indeed Ms. Noa!!
Like that, she smiled happily and said that she finally caught up…
I rushed up to her and gave her a hug. And then she patted me gently on the head.
What a relief. I was so glad that she was alright.
As the two of us rejoiced, my brother tried to join in!!
You’re in the way! Don’t come over here!!
Ms. Noa made dinner that night, though she must have been tired.
I told her she didn’t have to, but she insisted.
Ms. Noa really is amazing…
The dinner she made was even more delicious than usual. I even cried a little… Really, I’m glad everyone was safe…
Hehe. Now I won’t have to travel alone with my brother.
Things will be so much more fun starting tomorrow!!
