Chapter 59

【”We’ve arrived. Get off.”】

【”What’s this place?”】

【”It’s Kablan.】

Though the town hadn’t come up in the game, he had heard of the name in his life within Harold’s body. He didn’t know if the term “provincial city” existed in this world’s language, but when compared to the towns and cities scattered across the country, save for the royal capital, this city was extremely well developed.

【”What am I supposed to do here?”】

【”I wasn’t told. My task was just to bring you here.”】

【”What’s wrong? What are you just standing here for?”】

【”It’s none of your fricking business you――”】

Upon looking back towards the source of that voice, Harold was at at a loss for words. He had an aghast expression, rarely ever seen on his face.

【”It is kind of my business though. Or are you denying our friendship?”】

【”…… The hell are you doing here, Itsuki?”】

The one who stood there was Itsuki Sumeragi, Erica’s older brother, also known as Harold’s only friend.

【”Let’s go, Elu!”】

【”Yeah, yeah.”】

【”Oh? Is no one there?”】

Elu put his index finger on his mouth to instruct Lifa not to make any noise. Once he confirmed that Lifa understood him, Elu very silently walked across the room. Lifa followed behind him timidly. She did quite well considering that she wasn’t used to moving stealthily.

【”―― Be careful not to use your power too much. Remember, you don’t have that much longer to live, Harold.”】

Harold didn’t have much longer to live, that reveal was probably a merciless blow to Lifa.
