An Endless Journey
Part 12
NT: *Blerg*… I don’t know what to say… maybe I should complain about the large number of «English» words in this novel. It doesn’t bother me much since I read it in Spanish and it still has some impact on my language, but the thing is different here. It’s like… the same, i mean, there’s not much difference to the rest of the text… it doesn’t have that «impact»… oh well, I guess there is nothing that can be done about it.
「I am from Earth. Unlike you, I’m just a normal person… You can think of me as a Villager, if that helps you understand it better」
「Again acting humbly. Come on, you are our great Sniper that could embarrass any inhabitant of Earth Clear with her abilities」
「I can only help. I really can’t do anything without using a Digder… Don’t touch my head!」
Despite Mary’s resistance, Yuki continued to stroke her head until she was completely satisfied.
On the other hand, the group could simply bow their head in confusion. Despite having been called Sniper Mary was not carrying any kind of weapon, and her lack of muscle mass made it hard to believe she had the strength to pull the bowstring with enough strength and precision to call her a Sniper, or at least that’s what everyone thought after knowing that Mary was an inhabitant of Earth.
「Oh right. I guess the people of Earth Clear would be confused if I call her a Sniper. Errrm, well, to clarify it, here in Earth we call Digder to objects made in ancient times. These are very rare items that are made with very difficult to find materials, which were created through some knowledge that has already been lost… among these is some strange magical weapon capable of releasing a unique type of projectile, and, well , that’s what Mary-chan uses」
NT: See, that’s what I meant. That is why I «translate» it as «Relic».
NT2: By the way, in the Raw, «Magic Weapon» was written like «Magic Gun»(?). I would put it as «Magic Gun», but it could end up causing me some problems later at the time of correcting everything, so I will leave it as «Magic Weapon» and now to avoid problems.
「Magic weapon?」
「This」
After hearing the words of the confused Rex, Mary took the black object that was attached to her thigh, and then, after pulling the trigger with her finger, is was heard the sound of an explosion at the same type that a small projectile shot out. What was shot was a bullet that shone in seven colors.
The bullet that shone in seven colors that passed by Rex, at an incredible speed, dispersed into particles of light after impacting a creature that was clinging to one of the walls of the houses that were on the sides.
「Hey, Mary-chan, don’t use that in here! It’s dangerous, you know?」
「Isn’t it easier to show them than to try to explain what it is? Also, do you distrust my aim? I don’t plan on failing my target… Just look at that gecko on the floor. Surely it ended up here while digging through the ground. Oh well, now it can become valuable food」
NT: Geckos are something like lizards (salamanders).
After saying that, Mary picked up the Gecko, which had fallen to the ground due to the impact of the bullet, and stored it in a small leather bag she carried.
「Well, that’s what it is. The weapon that Mary carries is a Goverment capable of firing magic bullets in succession at short range. There are also other types of weapons capable of firing at greater distances, which are even capable of shooting down Monsters, like the Dragunov, which has been powered by magic formulas. By the way, let me tell you that it is extremely difficult to hit something with those weapons unless you have an incredible ability to handle them」
NT: I don’t know about weapons. Just search google and I saw what came out. The Goverment are the typical guns that fire 9 mm bullets, while the Dragunov is, well, a long-range rifle (I don’t know what else to tell you about these weapons).
「Is that a compliment?」
Mary said, with a proud look, however, everyone had their eyes on her Goverment, so it didn’t take long for her to put her poker face back, disappointed by the little attention she was receiving.
「The speed at which the projectile was fired by that magic weapon was… impressive. I don’t think I can avoid it」
After a while, Takako muttered that with an impressed look, to which Rex and Menou nodded, indicating that they thought the same as her. Then, Palna added, 「I might not be able to avoid that either, but I could try to lift a magic barrier to stop it」, to which the other girls agreed with her.
「Leaving aside the idea of whether you can evade or defend against these bullets, we have to make it clear that you are much better than these Digder. Unlike us, the people of Earth, you are able to show your full potential without having to depend on a Digder like us」
「I feel that this thing could be quite useful in a fight, but… You still say it’s not as good as we think, or maybe it is that Monster are too problematic?」
「Did I said that? No, the problem is that the Digder are considered quite rare weapons. There aren’t many of them, besides… well…」
In respect to Palna’s doubts, Mary simply said, 「Oh well, you’ll understand when you see me fight」, while walking back down the road. On the other hand, Takako, who still felt somewhat anxious about how little she knew about the mysterious enemy they would face in the future ――,
「Why are you fighting then? You already explained a little about the situation a while ago, but … don’t you have any more chance of dying than the humans of Earth Clear?」
She also began to worry about the behavior of the humans of Earth, who were willing to face that kind of opponents.
「Ah? Do you wonder why we don’t just send all the people from Earth Clear to fight in front? Of course, if I went to the front and died there, it would also be causing the loss of a valuable Digder, which are very difficult to replace. However, we do not have the means to replenish all the inhabitants of Earth Clear in case of an accident, or to support them after they arrive here. That is why we must do our best to support each other here… Also, first of all, our main objective is to recapture the surface of Earth」
They had a goal for which they were even willing to give their lives to achieve it. The feelings that expressed Mary’s sad gaze were similar to what Alice had felt in the past, which left a deep impression on Takako, who unconsciously began to stroke Mary’s head.
At that moment, obviously, Mary started screaming, 「Don’t touch me! Stop treating me like a child!」, While trying to push her away, however, Takako just muttered,「 You’re not honest at all… completely different from Alice-chan」, with a satisfied tone as she continued to caress Mary’s head.
「Well, I may have said a little more than what a should, but you don’t have to feel anxious. There is an organization dedicated to ensuring that you have a good life here and even allowing you to return home regardless of the threat we’re facing. You can continue to fight quietly next to each other without having to compromise enough to sacrifice yourself for us」
「Do you mean the Unit you talked about before? We would definitely like to go to that place. Will there be more people fighting like you there? I would also like to know if there will be other people from Earth Clear besides us」
「That’s right, right now we are not heading to Resistance, which is composed by the humans who live here, in Noah. There will also be others Heroes like you… Other people from Earth Clear」
「I see… in that case, Kagami-san will also be there」
After hearing about Resistance, Alice approached Mary and tried to know more about Kagami’s current situation with an enlightened look.
「Kagami…? Who’s that?」
However, Mary, who didn’t seem to know who he was, inclined her head in confusion. When she look at Yuki, to see if she knew who it was, she tilted her head in the same way, indicating that she didn’t know who it was either」
「He’s a Villager who came here 3 years ago-… No, he should have come here 1 year ago」
「A Villager…? Ah! Are you talking about Kagami, the 『The worst and most disappointing Hero of the story』? That’s the only Villager I remember! Wait, do you know that good-for-nothing Hero?」
「The-The worst and the most disappointing Hero of history, you say…?」
Everyone felt bewildered after hearing those words, however, they were unable to think that it was a joke after seeing Mary’s angry look after remembering it.
NT: As always, if you find something weird, whatever, just tell me in the comments

Wow, that was harsh! I wonder how he got that infamy? Rather than power, it should have been his attitude! LOL
