ch 48 part 2


This is already the full chap as I already put together both part 1 and 2....Sorry if there are too many notes....T_T..I'm just tranlating without jumbling the sentences as I'm not sure if that would be fine or not. Also you might notice that the fonts are changing,..probably because of copy paste...

Mira parted with Solomon and while walking confirmed the distance to her next destination. Along the shadows of pillars, there was a person who was hiding and watching over her. It was Lily. To hear the impression about the magic robe, she finish her job at twice the speed she usually does. She waited at her current position, waiting for the talk with Solomon to finish.

(Oh, the feeling of the coat waving is as calculated. The thighs occasionally peeping are wonderful, the length of the skirt is not to long and not too short, it was moderately pushed up, the angle in which it fluctuates steadily and fluently is as calculated)

Lily was watching the condition of the magic robe which changed by each movement. But it did not last long, as Lily who was producing a weird atmosphere is drawing attention from the surroundings. because of it, Mira found it out by following other people's of sight

"What are you doing?"

"....eh......follow-up observation, is it not?"

Lily who revealed herself from the pillar's shadow while being scared of Mira, tried to return a misappropriate or inexplicable answer with an incomprehensible pose.

"What's that?"

"More importantly! It's time for lunch soon right?. How about we go together, while at it, let me hear your impression about the magic robe."

"That reminds me, I did say such thing. I understand, Let's go!"

Mira confirmed the time before closing the map.It was just exactly around noon. When Mira nods, Lily guided Mira to the dining hall in a hurry before being further pursued.

(Why are you all gathering like this?)

The attendants are blocking the dining room. Mira is surrounded by over ten men and women.

"Is there any problem with regards to the movement?"

"Are there any inconvenience in size?"

"I put importance on the texture of the back fabric, how is it?"

Instead of having lunch, Mira was asked one question after another. The fruity colorful scent of the french toast was put on hold in front of Mira. It was a little after an hour that she arrived at the dining room and ended her lunch. It was the result of answering all of their questions while unable to refuse.

After eating, Mira puffs up her cheeks softly and pours a cafe au lait in her throat. Most of the maids returned to their work except Lily who finish all her work at this time. It became an opportunity to learn about the person called Lily, her younger sister goes to Alkite academy and her father pass away in the Three Kingdoms Defense Battle.(Tl note: kinda stuck in this one..i think i mess up way too bad here...here's the raw リリィの妹はアルカイト学園に通っている事や、父は三神国防衛戦で亡くなったという話を交わし、リリィという人物について知る機会にもなった。)

" By the way, I saw Amaratte acting as the wise man, it seems she like this clothes"
(TLN: eh?who? dont remember this character...been too long I'm starting to forget the previews chapters..)

"Oh,.. Amaratte is it!"

While putting the cup containing the Cafe au Lait on the table. Mira recalling it, talks about Amaratte. It was such a changed with regard to the troubled Mira, Lily was surprised, more than that she was glad she stayed with Mira.

"Well....I have been asked by all means to tell you that she would like for you to tailored one for her..How about it?"

"Of course, of course, we've know Amaratte for a long time. We do not mind, we will accept it!."

Suddenly the color of Lily's eyes shown dubiously, but only for a moment. It instantly reverted to her serious look and gave an acknowledgement to accept the request. For Lily, Amaratte was basically expressionless so it was a case where she is hesitant to step on. But now, with the information was brought by Mira. There is nothing to stop lily who got a formal permission.

"hmm, is that so, then I will ask you on my behalf"(TL note: confusing,check it if you like here's the raw:ふむ、そうか。では、わしからそう伝えておく)

"Are you sure?..then if possible, I would like to measure every dimension accurately, so please tell me the time that is convenient for you.

"I understand"

When Mira stands up, at the end she gave her thanks and left the dining hall. And Lily, in order to make a conference regarding on Amaratte costume as soon as possible, had to run without concern to the people,

(After experiencing that wagon, I feel a bit depressed)

In the square in front of the Alkite castle gates. A wall rose up in the rear, behind it was a small forest which separates the upper district and the castle. Mira looks up at the skies fine weather and while reminiscing the comfortable travel in the Garuda wagon, she takes out a fur cloth.

"I have to be patient until mine is completed"

She muttered and try to convince herself. Then, she sets forward to the base point of summoning.

[Summoning skill: Pegasus:] (TLN: the translation says shokan-jutsu but I'll just use skill in here instead of technique or arts, she's not a ninja afterall...ahahahaxD)

A blue magic formation that appeared in the front of her rose up to the sky and from there a number of lightnings streaks rain down, together with the repeated flash emerged a pure white form. And lastly, the fragments from the broken magic formation formed its wings. The heavenly horse Pegasus, bearer of the thunder descended to the ground.

The Pegasus folded it's pure white wings and neighed weakly. And as soon as his eyes met with Mira, he faced the other way. 

"nu.......?"

There are exceptions, but basically, summons that do not use Rosary summon formation cannot speak. Even so, if there is something it want to convey, it will mostly be expressed through it's attitude.

"Its been a long time, are you doing well?

Mira walk closely to Pegasus and speaks as she take a look into his face. But the Pegasus averted her gaze by turning its head in the opposite direction.
There were no words, but Mira is aware to such behavior of Pegasus. It somehow resembles her sister when angry.

"You're angry, aren't you?"

Possibly thinking, she ask. Then Pegasus, with a displeased face looked into Mira. In his eyes, loneliness and frustration from being left for a long time is emerging.
Even though she could not comprehend everything. There is no mistake that he is mad, Mira conclude from Pegasus attitude.

(It was a sweet child after all. ..it may be natural if I didn't meet them for 30 years..)

"I am sorry..I have no excuse.I haven't been in this world for 30 years.. It was only recently that I arrive and contact was impossible, I'm really sorry."

Mira apologized sincerely. Then the next moment, a shock hits her small body. Pegasus thrust his head. While being pushed down, Pegasus slides his head into her chest while producing a sound of cry in his throat..When it narrowed it's eyes that was lost in sadness, big tears overflowed which slowly wets Mira's chest. Although Mira panicked by the sudden thing, Pegasus was also lonely. As she felt a little disheartened, she wrap her arms around his neck and gently stroke his mane.

Mira who decide to settle this soon raised her body and face Pegasus.

"I do have a favor to ask but, will you carry me and fly?"

The moment Mira said so, Pegasus eyes open wide and instantly bend down in front of Mira. It pressed it's back to Mira. Then it pushed it's mouth around Mira's waist. Hurrying to board on it.(TLN: starting to get harder as the ch goes by..sorry, even I am confuse in this passage)

"Oh,..you will give me a ride, good child"

After Mira stroked the head of Pegasus gently for obediently giving her a lift. She put on the fur coat and straddle in the back of Pegasus. When Pegasus felt the warm of Mira in his back, he open his wings widely. Then he turned his head as if to say he was ready and confirmed their destination.

"Then Pegasus, please fly in that direction"

While stroking his soft mane, Mira requested while pointing the Forest of prayers in the west-southwest direction. Pegasus neighed to give his consent, he then flaps his large outspread wings and gradually accelerated. When the sound of hooves and wind hitting reach it's climax, Mira flew towards the sky and heaves a breath, feeling the enormous gravity. Unlike the time with Aizen Faldo, there are no obstruction beneath her feet so the square in front of the castle gate can be visibly seen well so far.
(TLN: meh,.there might be some changes, let's just wait for better translation)

"Good, very good, This is also very comfortable ja"

The cold which has become a matter of concern, was settled without a problem thanks to the fur coat. Particularly, it is great to enjoy the enormous view below, With that, Aizen was too big for me to see the bottom. Pegasus run through the sky cheerfully. On the trajectory we passed through, were small charged particles as if expressing such feelings, producing a river of light despite the high time of the day When Mira turns her arm around Pegasus neck, she look at the river which become smaller as the time pass by. In her eyes, the five element structure other than school was reflected. She begin to make a plan to visit either one of them the next time.

Beyond the big mountain ranges, while going through the skies, she occasionally check the map while modifying their direction. Several hours, Mira's crotch became sore because she's not accustomed with the ride, She get down to the village she found from the skies and arrived at a place with the mood of a small diner.

(Umu , at this pace, it is most likely that I will arrive in the middle of the night)

Mira who mixed with other customers conspicuously stands out with her well arranged appearance. However, due to her bracelet which is known as the proof of being a senior adventurer, no man has the courage to speak with her. They only remain watching still in a faraway. Apart from major cities being far away, there's no famous dungeon nor hunting ground near this village so it's very rare for famous adventurers to come in here.
Mira calculated the travel time easily by matching the distance of her current position and the remaining journey in her map.
As a result, she conclude that her arrival at her destination would turn to be around 10 pm. The night forest would almost be tinted with darkness, there is also the possibility of overlooking the traces. In the first place, there was also no reason for Mira to work until such time. While occasionally tilting the mix berry, she search for a suitable place to stay near the forest in her map.

(Just about the right place, this far should be enough) 

It is approximately 2 hours distance by Pegasus from current position. The village was close to the Forest of prayers. The Forest of Prayers is very large and the Sacred Tree which is her purpose is located deeply inside the forest. It is already certain the day will change by then. After 30 minutes of break, Mira left after paying and going in the restroom. Because it was a small place that can be said to be a countryside, She wonder if the toilet is a pump up type, the moment the valve open, Mira remembers the underground cemetery.

Mira who went up to sky again gaze at the sun as it sets in the horizon and watch admiringly the sea of stars which gradually shines. Then after awhile, before the dark forest where wind blows making it wriggle like some living creature, found countless artificial lights which shines faintly. It was the fire in the village where the inn she decided to stay is located. Using the light as a landmark, Pegasus descends, she then sends Pegasus home after showing appreciation. To say it's a village is big, while being small compared to a city and checking the place in the map, was the Hunter Village. There is only one inn in this village and when Mira opened the door, the vibrant voice of a man resonates with the sound of the bell "Welcome!". It is a basic management form of accommodation which also double act as a dining hall, it seem thriving well base from the busy look of the store. Judging from the guests attires, most of them are adventurers. Several of them stop their hands and look back reflexively at the visitor. Mira who is directed by interested sights, heads to the counter in a quick pace. In contrast to his first greeting, the shopkeeper has the impression of being delicate and a domestic owner.

"Now this is a rare customer, how many of you are there?, would you be staying or just have a meal?

Mira sits down in the vacant counter sit.

"I would like an accommodation, and a meal good for one person"

"hee, are you alone? for young miss to come alone in such a remote place, magicians really are interesting"

To the words of Mira, the young man sitting next to her get interested deeply, voicing out his admiration. The young man is carrying a big sword in his back. With a body that has muscles which corresponds to it is covered up in a black leather. On his well proportioned face floats a good-natured smile. 

"Oh, I'm sorry, that was sudden. I am called Alfail, as you can see I'm a swordsman but I yearn to be a magician."

Despite introducing himself, he stares at Mira enviously in the bottom of his heart. He encountered many magician during his adventures and was calling out to them each time.

"Say, can I ask what kind of magician are you?(TLN: yeah I'll stick with the word magician right now..do tell me if you have a better suggestion, by the way the romaji word is jutsu-shi)

Alfail still smiling, ask Mira. To his familiar but carefree expression, Mira has a good impression, she puffed up her chest proudly.

"A Summoning Master"

To her answer, the voices of the surrounding adventurers cease. And a gaze with pity and sadness was directed at her. To their response, Mira's back curled up being depressed, with the summoning arts revival still faraway, she breath a sigh. During such time, only one person showed a different reaction.

"To come here alone is enough, summoning is amazing"

Alfail praises Mira with his eyes deepened with admiration further. As his words suggests. The Hunter Village which is adjacent to the Forest of Prayers was never a place for new adventurers to come alone. Realizing his words, the general adventures inside the store raise a voice of surprise. 

"Alfail-kun, rather than that, is it alright if I hear the young lady's orders first,. she is probably hungry"

"Oh, yes, I'm sorry"

The store owner who perceived that the talk won't be ending anytime soon pick a good time and hand out the menu to Mira. With a "sorry", Mira ordered the the grilled chicken set and a honey juice. (TLN: not sure if it is really honey jusice or what)

Alfail seemed to really like a magician. He talks about their convenience and useful techniques in everyday's life, and began to talk gleefully about the tools he possessed a substitute for magic arts, even just a little I would like to feel being a magician.

The various tools he possessed are mainly called magic tools(TLN: Though not sure, I'll stick with the magic tools for now,any suggestions are appreciated). There are limits to the number of times it can be used, but it is useful as it can be used even for those adventurers who doesn't have mana.
Advanced skills are impossible, but most lower grade skill has already been developed. However, there are no activation tools for summoning technique, the art of yin and yang, the onmyo shikigami, and the necromancy. And that made Alfail grieve. (TLN: Please check the raw as I'm not quite sure about the above passage:しかし召喚術と陰陽術の式神、そして死霊術は下級であろうと起動術具は無く)
After Mira's done with the dish she ordered, Alfail's interest turned towards the summoners who are few in number and do not use any kind of activation tools. Wanting to see the summoning technique of such a skillfull person by all means. The young man begs the young girl "show me!" over and over again while lowering his head. The adventurers who were there from the beginning smile wryly. But for those person who saw that scene halfway, where the young girl's face contorted to the behavior of the young man, comes out to be like a pervert.

Mira who finished her supper where in the training square of hunter village along with Alfail. In the darkness of the night, the light from the magical tool Alfail had illuminated the surroundings brightly. Alfail explaing that this place is prepared for hunters and adventurers for self-training. And here, it would be possible to use summoning skills without reserve.

"Well, if you are really interested that much, I'll show you"

Despite saying while putting on airs. Mira is in good mood as for the summoning being acknowledge. But without showing it, she calmly use her summoning skill. Appearing from the magic circle which floats in the front was a Black Knight with it's usual overpowering and intimidating impression.

"Oooh! This is summoning huh, it's black and look strong!"

Alfail become exalted seeing a summoning for the first time, with his eyes fixated in the black knight in front of him. The moment he turned back to Mira,

"Can I ask for a battle?"

Saying so, turned his eyes with full of expectation. That expression of his was like a dog having a snack in front of him, so much that he will surely be dejected if I were to refuse.

"Well, I guess it's fine"

Pleased to her answer, Alfail jump joyfully. Mira watched the excited youth, as she analyze his abilities.
As to what she can see, his ability as a swordsman is of first grade, but his magical power is less than that of an ordinary person.  With this, his ability to oppose such power become a matter of concern.
In addition, as a swordsman, I wonder whether a technology which can utilize the abilities existed.
Alfail backs a few steps away from the black knight and draw his sword. The blade shined in silver and faintly cool air surrounding it. In Mira's eyes, the power of a spirit dwelling in the sword could be seen.

(Hou...a spirit sword of ice?)

Alfail with his sword stance, has a feel which is clearly different until now. His change of feelings for battles was transmitted to Mira. Even though there is a difference, more intimidating feel is being released from Alfail, showing that his ability is greater than that of what she observed.

"The 鷹 which is talent how, the u"(TLN: this one here is something I can't understand no matter what, they are probably praising each other but i just can't get what is she saying here, I will leave it to your imaginations here's the raw:能ある鷹はなんとやら、じゃのぅ)

"You too young miss. to feel this and not even twitching a single brow, it shows that you can see through it."

They both laugh lightly. Mira then, leaves her spot and entrust her back to a more suitable wall. Alfail clenching his sword draws heavy breaths for several times.

"Well, may I start?"

When Mira says so, the black knight throws his large sword towards the sky. But in the next moment, a new large sword appeared from the magic formation in front which the black knight grab immediately and points it's edge towards Alfail.
The large sword which was thrown toward the sky reaches it's maximum point and begins to fall. The sword making a sound of cutting through the winds gradually lowers in altitude. From the out of reach sky appeared a sword. Being Illuminated by the magical tools, the large sword leaving a black trace, penetrated deeply into the ground.
At the signal, Alfail lowers his posture and dash. The silver blade is held aside, the distance was shorten in a matter of seconds, the silver blade that has been raised was is drawn into the torso of the black knight. Taking the initiative from the very start. That speed is indeed of a first class.
Therefore, although the black knight was left behind. The sword of Alfail was block by the Black sword and didn't reach the main body.

(It is certainly capable. It is better than Emerala for sure. More than anything else, it may be above than black knight)

Mira measured Alfail's ability objectively from her standing point. She is trying to see how far can he draw the black knight's power. `The black knight prevented the sword of Alfail with it's large sword forcibly. Unable to resist, Alfail was blown away to the air by the intense force.

"Strong, this is strong"

Alfail cries without suppressing his excitement. While stepping on the ground and killing the momentum, his joyful expression showed. Once again, the sounds of swords striking each other roared. Immediately after Alfail settled, the black knight's sword was swung down. The shock is not something that Alfail would occasionaly experience, and his voice leaks with agony. However, at that time, a smile appeared on Alfail's mouth. It was only for a few moments. Before he receives all the Kinetic energy of the large sword, Alfail slipped through the blade and cut the black knight's torso who became vulnerable. A single flash was release from that movement without any second thought cut the black knight deeply and the sword speed released from both hands becomes an extreme impact and throws the large body.

"Young miss, it wasn't supposed to be like this, I ask of you, please do it seriously"

Alfail standing with an appearance similar to a Shura, raises a voice while turning his back against Mira. As if, the black knight was not the best. Now that such a reality has come, real life and death are on the line. It was beacuse Mira is unable to put her full effort in a situation wherein her opponents ability is not certain.

"You, have you recently lost using your full effort?"

Mira asks her last question. Alfail shake his head sideways to her queston.

"Recently, there is none. It was already five years ago that I lost"

Mira stared at the back of Alfail, understanding one thing. That the man is hungry for the strong opponents. From his word, there seemed to be a lot of challenges like this one. And won every single time. Not satisfied with it's own power and still looking for a strong opponent. That insatiable for improvement, Mira has a little resemblance.
She keep looking purely at him while stretching her hands at the top. (TLN something like maybe, not sure raw here:彼は、純粋に上を見て手を伸ばし続けていたのだ)

"I'm sorry for trying to test you like that. Instead, it would be good to experience that happening five years ago"

"That's, I'm looking forward to it"

The corner of Alfail's mouth raise to the words of Mira and the ice fog began to cover the sword as if to respont to his spirit.
