Chapter 8: Please pay for your own meals part 1

~Part 1~

Since the strange incident in which Feru the Fenrir joined us on our journey, we have continued travelling towards Veenen and are nearly reaching it.

The formation was like this: I am right in the centre, Rita is at front, on the left is Vincent, on the right is Ramon-san, right-back is Franca, left-back is Werner-san and finally, Feru was at the back of the formation, following clumsily.

Werner-san seemed to be in deep thought and gave a sigh.

“What’s wrong? Werner-san.”

“No, we are about to reach the borders but, I still have no idea what can be done in our current plight.”

Hm? What plight?

“Nonono, Makooda-san, we will definitely stop this.”

Vincent glanced back before saying.

Ah—, it’s because Feru is here.

“All the border guards would be very curious I suppose. However, I think they will realise we have no ill intentions and let us go.”

“Werner, before they even do that, there would be a confrontation with the imperial army even if Fenrir has no intention to fight.”

“What Ramon said make sense.”

“Eh, that Fenrirs once destroyed an entire country is not just a nursery-tale?”

“Rita, that is treated as a historical fact you know?”

Wait, was I hearing things?

About destroying an entire country, is that not a joke?

“Even if they recognise Fenrir as a familiar and let us in the country, this time, I’m sure, the whole country will be after us.”

Werner-san said that as he looked upon me.

Wait, me? This time what?

“They would think that Makooda-san, who has contracted with the Fenrir, would unlikely leave the country alone. If Makooda-san wanted to take control of the country, the Fenrir would definitely help out.”

Eh, Ra-Ramon-san, is that true?

It would be extremely troublesome if the country spread such rumours.

[No worries. If they plan to inflict harm on me or this fella, we will just take on their challenge.] (TN: I will now use square brackets when Feru talks since the author is using some special quotations too.)

“Nonono, T-That’s too excessive. Fenrir-sama……”

[It’s Feru.]

“… If Feru-sama actually went all out, the country would really be wiped out.”

[If we are going to get our hands dirty, isn’t destroying a good thing?]

F-Feru-san, isn’t that a little too much enthusiasm?

[If you don’t like it, then I won’t make any moves. It’s easy.]

Hearing what Feru had said, everyone’s mouth became wide open.

[Speaking of that, isn’t the time to have our meals?]

Thus it became break time.
