Chapter 421: That was the Most Dazzling Scene Ive Ever Seen (1/2)
The party hosted by Megiddo-san continued on in a lively manner.
Only the people who collected the most stamps on the first day and Megiddo-san's subordinates participated in this party, so Kuro and Alice weren't here. Well, I guess they could easily join if they wanted to, but it seems like they read the mood around here and probably won't barge in.
As I was thinking about this, Megiddo-san loudly put down his cup and shouted.
[……Speaking of which, oi, you b*stard! Ozma!!! For only your place to have an 80% pass rate, what does this mean!? Look at Agni's place, she hasn't let anyone but Kaito through!!!]
[Ah~~ You see, everyone was working so hard to win against me. ”I” can't just ignore their hard work~~]
(T/N: Ozma usually refers to himself as ”Ojii-san/Uncle”, but he uses ”Ore/I” here.)
Responding with those words, Ozma-san, holding a small cup in one hand, looked as lax as ever as he approached us.
Even so, it seems that he would still use honorifics when talking with Megiddo-san, and his tone has changed but……
[Hahh…… You never change…… You're still always drinking cheap alcohol……]
[Well~~ I don't really like the taste of expensive alcohol…… Hey, Miyama-kun. Good work out there.]
[Ah, yes. Thank you very much!]
Calmly calling out to me, Ozma-san then sat down across from Megiddo-san.
[It seems like Master is having fun. Isn't your drinking pace faster than usual?]
[Yeah, today's match was fun. The alcohol afterward is also great!]
[Well, that's great……]
Looking as if Megiddo-san's happiness was his own, Ozma-san snapped his fingers and made a giant bottle of alcohol appear.
Then, leisurely holding it in one hand, he poured alcohol into Megiddo-san cup, to which Megiddo-san drank without saying a word.
Filled with a somewhat friendly mood, or perhaps, a gentle atmosphere, I suddenly wondered about something and voiced out my question.
[Ummm, Ozma-san?]
[Unnn? What is it?]
[Only Ozma-san calls Megiddo-san ”Master” instead of adding ”-sama” in his name, is there a reason for that?]
[Hmm~~ Well, it's just an old habit. There isn't any deeper reason for that.]
[Ozma has been my subordinate the longest. He became my subordinate before I was called the War King, so I guess that's why he's calling me that.]
It seems that Ozma-san was Megiddo-san's first subordinate.
[Hehh…… Speaking of which, I'm sorry if this is something I shouldn't ask. Why did you become Megiddo-san's subordinate, Ozma-san?]
[Oi, oi, Miyama-kun. There's nothing to be gained from knowing about Uncle's past, you know?]
[I'm sorry. It's just that I thought that the atmosphere around Ozma-san was different from the other Five Generals……]
[Hahaha, you're being told off, Ozma. You gotta have a bit more ambition.]
[N- No, I'm not saying that much though!?]
It certainly is as Megiddo-san said, Ozma-san doesn't seem to have any ambition…… Or rather, I don't think I feel the ”fighting is the best” thinking that the other Generals have.
