Shadow Court Magician Chapter 78: Scary Faced Chieftain

Support the translator on lazytranslations.com

“The chieftain’s face is scary!”

 

 

 That was my honest impression.

 

 In front of me was a large man who looked as if he had been gouged out of a rock face.

 

 He was a rugged man who had nothing to smile about.

 

 He was approaching seniority and was full of dignity.

 

 He was much more like a soldier than me or the princess.

 

 Such is the Chief.

 

 He was flanked by two men who seemed to be officers of the Doll tribe, and his daughter, Lululucca.

 

 

 When my gaze met with Lululucca’s, she smiled and motioned me towards her. To be honest, I’m embarrassed, and I don’t want to be driven out.

 

 Sure enough, the chief of the Doll tribe glares at me.

 

 Since I hadn’t been paying attention to him, he directed his anger at Lululucca. I’m a bit disheartened.

 

 

 It was entirely my fault, but someone was willing to help me out. It was Sicily.

 

 She stepped forward and said with the dignified expression of an Ernian Major General.

 

“I see you for the first time. The chief of the Doll tribe. I am Sicily von Ernia. The third princess of the Kingdom of Ernia and the division chief of the Libra Division. My rank in the Army is Major General.”

 

 

 When she bows deeply, the head of the Doll tribe replied.

 

 

“–Welcome, uninvited guest. I am the chief of the Doll tribe. Ulmight.” (Ulmight) [T/N: The author might be a fan.]

 

“It’s a nice name.” (Sicily)

 

 

 Sicily says smiling.

 

 

“You have a beautiful name, too.” (Ulmight)

 

“Thank you. My mother gave me this name.” (Sicily)

 

“She must be beautiful, too–though I wouldn’t want her to think that just because think she’s beautiful I’m forgiving.” (Ulmight)

 

“I understand. If we are to have the Dolls cooperate with us, we will need you to open your hearts and cooperate voluntarily.” (Sicily)

 

“I see. But we Dolls are as stubborn as they say, especially those left in this village.” (Ulmight)

 

 

 I can’t help but want to chuckle as he said exactly what Chloe had just said, but I couldn’t laugh.

 

 

“It seems that we need to give something back to get the Doll tribe to cooperate.” (Sicily)

 

“We might.” (Ulmight)

 

“Then, how about gold? We will prepare about 1,000 gold coins as collateral.” (Sicily)

 

“It’s a dazzling amount of money. It’s hard to make that kind of money even if we all become mercenaries.” (Ulmight)

 

“The Doll warriors are worth it.” (Sicily)

 

“I appreciate you saying that, but that’s not all.” (Ulmight)

 

 

 Sicily looked troubled, so I helped her out.

 

 

“It’s good to be able to talk to each other, but sometimes it’s better to be direct. Chief Ulmight, please say what you mean.”

 

 

 Hearing these words, Ulmight looked at me as if he were evaluating me, then continued, “Mm…”

 

 

“All right, that’s exactly what we want. What we want is to defeat the Ogres that has been plaguing this forest lately.” (Ulmight)

 

“Ogres!?” (Eculate)

 

 

 It was the elf’s Eculate who accompanied us that responded to those words. She then says with agitation.

 

 

“Is the Doll tribe also suffering from the Ogres?” (Eculate)

 

“That’s right, Elven daughter. You seem to think we’ve revived the Ogres though.” (Ulmight)

 

“That’s just the opinion of a few ignorant elves.” (Eculate)

 

 

 I bow my head instead of Eculate.

 

 

“…I know. There are hard-headed people in every tribe. Some of the Dolls shift the blame for the resurrection of the Ogres to the Elves. Of course, I do not believe that.” (Ulmight)

 

 

 And then—Ulmight continues.

 

 

“If the Ogre’s evil continues to spread, there is a good chance that false rumors will spread. I want to stop it before it happens.” (Ulmight)

 

“–What do you mean?”

 

“I’m thinking of sending out warriors from both the Elves and Dolls and subduing the Ogres together.” (Ulmight)

 

“That’s a great idea.” (Sicily)

 

 

 Sicily smiles.

 

 

“If we take up swords and eat bread from the same loaf, we can understand each other better than if we talked for a hundred days. I urge you to put this idea into action.” (Sicily)

 

 

 The princess was in full agreement. She continued with her proposal.

 

 

“When the Elves and the Dolls fight together, please let us cooperate if you like, please let us be of help.” (Sicily)

 

“What do you mean?” (Ulmight)

 

“I mean what I said. We will join the subjugation.” (Sicily)

 

“By involving the human race, will you seek to reconcile the three races?” (Ulmight)

 

“I hope so, but my intentions are not that ambitious.” (Sicily)

 

“……” (Ulmight)

 

“This forest is under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom. However, the people of this forest are also citizens of Ernia. As a member of the royal family, I have a responsibility to protect my people.” (Sicily)

 

 

 When Ulmight heard those words, he stared at Sicily.

 

 Sicily meets his gaze without any hesitation.

 

 

 Ulmight, the chief of the Dolls was a fierce man who once killed a hundred soldiers alone. He was a warrior among the warriors of the Doll tribe, who boasted the title “Hundred Demon”.

 

 

 Sicily, who was unfazed by the stare of such a thing, was certainly not an ordinary princess.

 

 

 Hundred Demon probably felt that too.

 

 He then nods with an expression of approval.

 

 

“…that’s good. No, I’ll be the one to ask, I would love to have your help in defeating the Ogres.” (Ulmight)

 

 

 Ulmightbowed deeply to show his competence as a chief.

 

 He showed his faith by making his subordinates follow him.

 

 His aides, who were standing beside him, and the Doll men who were waiting in the corridor, came over and performed a Doll-style bow.

 

 

 On behalf of all of them, Lululucca, the daughter of the chief, says,

 

 

“We, the Dolls, fight with the Elves and the Humans. We pledge to fight together for a united purpose!” (Lululucca)

 

 

 The moment I heard this declaration, the room erupted.

 

 

“Let the Ogres witness our strength, let the Elves and Men watch our bravery!” (Lululucca)

 

 

 A brave and rousing voice echoes.

 

 

 This is how the three races formed a joint force to defeat the Ogres.
