>Author: sometime

>>Kurami Uta<go>ho has arrived
>> Don't get it wrong
>>Melua (umbrella) Utaho

p2
>Look, we're here.
>This will be our new home starting today.

>I had finally gotten used to it,
>but now I'm out of institution and have to start going to school?
>...This is way too sudden.

>School...!
>I can make friends with all kinds of people there, right?
>I'm really looking forward to it!

>We've got a lot going on here too.

p3
>Ah! Hey, hey!

>Since we're starting a new life and all,
>I wanna make something like a family rule!
>What's this all of a sudden?
>Huh? A rule?
>...What kind of rule?

>"Everyone should enjoy their normal everyday life" or something!
>That's more of a slogan than a rule, isn't it?

>Or rather, we don't need any frivolous rules like that.
>Why not!? It's important that everyone has fun!

>What do you think, Utaho-chan!?
>It's an absolute must, right!?

p4
>I do want to have fun, but...

>"with everyone" just means more pointless troubles.
>I don't like it.
>As long as it's good for me, I don't care about what happens afterwards.
>H-How cruel...!

>...I'm having enough trouble taking care of myself with all these changes right now.
>Is that "with everyone" part really necessary, Melua?

>Of course it is! After all...
>...an.
>...ho-chan.

p5
>Utaho-chan!
>Hah

>What are you spacing out for?

>...I was just remembering some things.
>Eeh!? You got your memories back!?
>Not that. It was about the time we first came to our current house.
>That's so misleading.

>I've thought this for a while now,
>but should you two really be taking this whole amnesia thing so lightly?
>Fufufu. What's important isn't the past but the present, Elulu-chan.
>Well, as long as it's not inconvenient, I guess it's okay...

p6
>By the way, did you know?

>Long ago, climbing to the top of these steps was a rite of passage for becoming an adult.
>...Hey, are you even listening!?
>Private Utaho, scout out the area over there!
>Sir.

>Commander Melua, one monster spotted below the cliff.
>Well done, Private Utaho!
>You're marvelous! And cute too!
>What are you even pretending to be...?

p7
>That little guy with the fierce look... It's a goblin, right?
>Yep. You can find them a lot in various places.
>Not even worth my time.

>Hold on, Kurami. Just because it's a single goblin doesn't mean you should let your guard down.
>Goblins are normally found in packs.
>That one is most likely a scout.

>Carefully searching for their nest from above would be the safer approach.

p8
>Wha- Hey!!
>Go
>b!?

>Gob gob gob~!!

>I see. So the nest is that way, huh?
>Let's follow him and eradicate his whole nest.
>Does this girl show any mercy...!?

p9
>Wait! Don't go off on your own...!

>Hrm~
>She's quite arrogant for someone who gives off a docile vibe...
>To be honest, I'm scared of finding out what she was like before she lost her memories...
>Bang bang bang!! (blanks)
>Don't worry, Elulu-chan!
>Utaho-chan is...

>J-
>Just because she's mean-spirited doesn't mean she'd do bad things!
>She's the worst one here!

p10
>Does Kurami even care about others to begin with?
>Hmm~

>Ah.
>"As long as it's good for me, I don't care about what happens afterwards."
>is something she used to say a lot!
>Scary!
>That line of thinking is way too extreme!

>B-But!
>It's not like everything about Utaho-chan is bad or anything.

>Besides, her cat-like fickleness is so cute!
>Nya
>I'm a kitty cat.
>Is that supposed to be some kind of excuse?

p11
>Now then!
>We need to catch up with Utaho-chan.

>Catch up...? She's heading straight for what is very likely the middle of a goblin nest, y'know!?
>Relax!
>Even if Utaho-chan's stray bullets come towards us, I'll be sure to protect you!
>That's not the issue here...

>...Eh?
>She fires stray bullets...!?

p13
>...
>I beat the boss first.

p14
>Hyahaa~!!!

>Well, whatever.

>Bang.

>!?

p15
>Playtime's over.

>Dark Night Starsong: Astral Ray

p16
>Utaho-chan~!
>You're late, Melua.

>Sorry, sorry.

>How're things going?
>Just the small fry left.
>Okay! Let's give it our all!
>The hero way!

p17
>Hyeeaaaah!!

p18
>...How should I put it?
>This is the first time in my 9000 years of living that I've felt sorry for monsters...

>Does this mean we've completed the request?
>Yep. That was more boring than I expected.
>It was over just like that...
>Haaah. I wasn't sure what was gonna happen there...

p19
>Alright, before we head back, let's get our share
>of anything that looks valuable.
>>sneaky doron~
>Wait a minute!!
>What's with that outfit!?

>If you just steal it, you're nothing more than a burglar!!
>Hrm... There's only cheap stuff...

>Phew
>As long as it's good for her... she says.

>She could at least make sure it's nothing wicked...

p20-21
>Awooooorgh
>!?

>That spooked me... What was that?
>Hah...
>I felt my lifespan shorten...

>Do elves even need to worry about their lifespans?
>Well, I have lived for 9000 years, so...
>Wait, you two! Something's coming from above!

>Wh-What is that!?

>It's huge.
>Is that perhaps the big boss?

>It looks like the dragon we defeated the other day!
>Maybe it's a higher species?

>Now's not the time for that!
>It's heading this waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
