Chapter 6: A Trump Card in Negotiations

Turning over the handling of the dungeon to the republic’s military, we hurried back to the town of Noblebeppu, where Roroa and Tomoe were waiting. That was where talks with Kuu’s father, the head of the Republic of Turgis, were waiting for us.

It had be arranged that the talks would be held in a room at the inn where we were staying, with a very limited number of people attending. This was the result of taking the Turgish side’s situation, in which a larger meeting would require taking the time to go through a process with the Council of Chiefs, into consideration.

We were able to make it back to Noblebeppu by noon on the day of the talks. We had stayed in the mountain village near the dungeon for one night after the ogres were exterminated, then set out just before dawn, but it had ultimately taken us this long to arrive.

Though the situation had been explained to the other side, we must have kept them waiting for a fair amount of time.

When I dismounted from the carriage in front of the inn, Roroa and Tomoe came out of the inn to greet us.

“Welcome back, darlin’!” Roroa called. “Ya had me worried.”

“Welcome back,” Tomoe said. “I’m glad you’re okay, Big Brother.”

“I’m back, Roroa, Tomoe.”

When I patted them on their heads, they cooed and smiled. Seeing them like that, I was relieved I had been able to come back safe.

With us having had help from Dece, Juno, and the rest, it might seem like there ultimately hadn’t been much danger, but seeing those ghoulish ogres that looked like they’d crawled up out of hell, feasting on what looked to be human meat, may have made me feel a little weak at heart. That was a traumatic sight, after all.

“Whew, we’re here, we’re here.” Disembarking from the carriage, Kuu spun his arms in circles. “It’s already noon, so have your king and my old man already started the talks?”

We people from the kingdom looked at him blankly, but...

Oh, right, everyone quickly realized. The only ones here who didn’t know were Kuu and Leporina.

I put on a strained smile and told Kuu, “No, not yet. One of the leaders only just arrived, after all.”

“Huh? What’s that supposed to...”

When Kuu was about to ask, a group of about five people walked towards us from across the way. The one leading them was a large-bodied, stern-faced snow monkey.

He was a mountain of muscle. His sideburns and beard had merged into something like a white lion’s mane.

If Kuu was Sun Wukong, this man was fit to be called the Monkey King. His white robe and white cape with shoulder pads made him look every bit the person of high station that he was.

With soldiers following behind him, the great man stood before us.

“Hm? Well, hey, if it isn’t my old man,” Kuu said to the snow monkey. “What happened to the talks?”

Yes, just as I’d assumed, this great snow monkey was Kuu’s old man, and also the head of the Republic of Turgis.
