We arrived at the dwelling place of the trolls, Lake Manaka.
But . . . . . .
ㅤ
“It’s odd that there are no Troll-san around, considering this is their home.”
“It’s strange. . . . . . Father and the others are camping around the lake, but. . . . . .”
ㅤ
It seems that trolls, unlike dwarves, can’t build buildings.
Since they don’t have construction skills, they have no choice but to camp around the lake.
I thought they could just make a cave their stronghold, but maybe it’s impossible for the trolls since they’re so large.
ㅤ
“Father and the others. . . . . .I wonder where they’ve gone. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Decker-chan mutters anxiously.
I can’t stand to see Decker-chan looking like that.
ㅤ
“Just wait a moment, I’ll try to pray.”
『Is Big Sister going to mess up again?』
“Mess up again? . . . . . Kumakichi-kun, when have I ever messed up?”
『Big Sister’s really naïve, huh?』
ㅤ
I feel like I’m being subtly mocked. . . . . .
Well, never mind.
ㅤ
I close my eyes and offer a prayer.
God Noir, please tell me the whereabouts of Decker-chan’s father. . . . . .
ㅤ
At that moment, I felt a light behind my eyelids.
When I open my eyes, a pillar of light is stretching towards the sky.
ㅤ
“Decker-chan, over there! Your father’s on the other side of the lake!”
“! Is, is that true. . . . . .?”
“Yes, there’s no mistake with God Noir! Let’s go, everyone!”
ㅤ
Everyone nods in agreement (Kokun).
But Mr. Gankoji raises his hand to object.
ㅤ
“Miss, where you’re pointing is nearly on the other side of the lake. This lake is rather wide, and going around it will take quite some time.”
ㅤ
Certainly . . . . . . Lake Manaka is vast.
Going around it could take quite some time, and we might move in the meantime.
ㅤ
“I can fly there!”
『Guu-chan, too!』
ㅤ
Hiiro-chan and Guu-chan flap their wings.
Wh, When did Hiiro-chan get wings. . . . . .
“But most of us can’t fly.”
ㅤ
When in doubt . . . . . . pray to God!
I offer another prayer . . . . . .
And then . . . . . .
ㅤ
Zuuoooooooooooooo . . . . . .!
ㅤ
『NBig, Big Sister, look! The lake! The lake looks like it’s splitting!』
ㅤ
Eh, ehh?!
That’s ridiculous . . . . . .
ㅤ
I slowly open my eyes.
And there, the great lake has split from where I’m standing to the left and right!
ㅤ
“T, That’s amazing! Such a huge lake has split left and right, and we can walk across it!”
ㅤ
I, Incredible. . . . . . Noir-sama!
Yes, Noir-sama is great! Too . . . . . . great!
ㅤ
Splitting the lake in half. . . . . . really!
Maybe this is overdoing it. . . . . . No!
ㅤ
Who am I to deny what God does?
Everything Noir-sama does is right!
The splitting of the lake is a divine message telling us to walk straight across!
ㅤ
“Let’s go, everyone!”
