Chapter 88 (2/2)
Cheers roared up in the vicinity of the entrance of the hall
It seemed that Harold had appeared, he was accompanied by Earl Nibelheim
People encircled both of the enius that is found one in ten years’ or ‘An outstanding talent that is found one in a hundred years’
Harold was being jostled by the adults, he was laughing and didn’t seem to be annoyed by that
I thought it was a very joyous occasion
But, somehow I needed a little distance from this lively banquet
I ran away from the bustle and headed towards the balcony
I wondered if this would be ht view
Before I knew it, there were a solem and a phantom-beast-turned-cat at my feet
『Erica, are you not going to see the redheaded brat?』
“He seeet in the way”
『Then, let’s go to Auguste’s location~!』
“Palug, you can go by yourself, right?”
『Eeh~, don’t wanna~! That’s so!』
『You are not even a young girl anymore……』
While the two phanto jokes, I looked at the sky
Thebehind the dark blue night sky
Since the ht was ht of the stars shi+ning brightly
I felt like I had cal them
“Yaa, EricaMay I also have your time?”
Frouste’s face suddenly appeared
With a shi+ny white silk forolden hair tied up, he seeion
Mrrrooow~~~, the golden cat cried in a delighted voice
Tonight the cat seemed to be very satisfied
“What about your job as a prince, Auguste-sama?”
“What about your job as a prince, Auguste-sama?”
“Occasionally I can stretchrole seems to be Harold anyway”
“You seeh?
Aah, but is nothing unnatural about that, huhAuguste-sael after all”
“How harshWell, you can bully me later, shall we toast first?”
Auguste handed lasses he had
The clear light green liquid was probably grape juice
“What should we toast to?”
“To the excellent, rich and beautiful golden country, AureliaAnd then, to the peaceful night ith our own hands, how about it?”
Auguste and I lasses touched each other
A clanking sound played by our glasses echoed
“However, is it alright for you not to coht?”
“I’ incognito, I don’t have any excuse for my father if I come forward
Auguste-sa to come forward?”
“I anito, so I have to pass”
I tasted the grapes when I sipped lass
It was the taste of autuood harvest
Harold, as barely able to sneak away froe of questions, ca about trifling matters
“Aah~~, I’ve been looking for you guys! Why are you in a remote place like this–!”
Harold earing a perfect-fit dark green formal ith his red hair smoothed down neatly
Although it was not much, but it was a noble appearance that didn’t make him seem like a wand store brat
“Heeh, you look like a young noble properly when you dressed up like that, huh~”
“Isn’t that good, HaroldWhat a great popularity”
“You really said like it was so matter
Even if everyone persistently trying to delve into that uys’ involvement a secret!
That’s why I had to tell a strange lie”
After sighing, Harold kept on talking
He had said such things like, ‘A person who came down from the sky helped me’
‘Soh inhibition value happened to pass by, so I asked them to shake the wand’, he had said
‘That person hid their face, so I don’t know anything else’, he had said
He see toon purpose
By the way, it seemed that every servant of Nibelhei of that matter
More accurately, it was said that Gilbert had threatened the their silence
Well, tight-lipped friends onderful
“Because of that, do you kno strange rumors have spread?”
“No, this isthat”
“Heeh, what kind of rumors?”
It seemed that Harold’s story had spread around in an unexpected direction
Because, in the past few days, there were sightings of mysterious people in Knot Reed
It was said that a beautiful blonde young man leaped away in the sky above Knot Reed’s church
It was said that at the ruins near Nibelheiirl appeared, and she suddenly disappeared when one took their eyes off of her for a moment
There seemed to be many other witnesses
These series of els who had descended on Knot Reed
Looking at estures
Palug was silent and turned her face away unnaturally
This ru
Perhaps, during her investigation, she ju Jean, or she substituted herself as a lighting in the for Guillaume
“Then, ely mixed
‘Maybe that angel saved this city’, it has becoeous story!
There were also eyewitness testie, which is aard, so we have a strange authenticity!”
It was the coels of Knot Reed
It would be unlikely to discern the truth due to the conflicting testi
I would use this to e as much as I could
“I appreciate it, HaroldI don’t want to be involved in troublesome matters more than this”
“I appreciate it, HaroldI don’t want to be involved in troublesome matters more than this”
“It’s the same for me, if it is known that I acted irresponsibly, ain~”
“Right~, for us who have bad behavior, continuing to pretend to be well-mannered is a must”
“Exactly, it is said that bloomed flowers are plucked first after all1We have to live unassuly”
“We don’t want to stand out badly, right~”
Harold writhed in frustration while I was spending tiuste
“T-this bad prince and evil woman……”
Harold murmured in a very faint voice
We didn’t knoho hness the Crown Prince and the duke’s daughter
Aah, poor Harold
However, for an unfortunate soul who had been put through hardshi+ps by us, Harold’s expression was very lively
Speaking of which, the circu, huh
“But I’ an open recoht?”
Harold answered my words with a wide smile
“Yeah, I got permission from Tou-san to enter Lindis, and while at it, I decided to skip a grade and also go to a local school”
“Eh, you are still eight years old, right?”
“Since the contents taught by the governess were alical relation first
While I am here, I want to master what I can learn in this way”
“Heeh~, skipping a grade, huh, how a”
Auguste was also impressed by Harold’s words
While ere talking with each other like this, there was a commotion from the direction of the hall
In the center of the commotion were Earl Nibelheim, Viscount Turm, Gilbert, and then Turm elder
The prototypes of the porcelain were arranged on the table, and Gilbert was talking fluently with elegance
And sometimes Earl Nibelheim and Turm elder added supplementary explanation
“Ooh~, Aniki and the others seem to have started”
“Gilbert-san see, huh”
First of all, the color of the eyes of the aristocrats who perhaps had deep knowledge of arts became peculiar
Porcelain was one of the old
Even in terree of perfection and peculiarity, Gilbert’s porcelain should be spectacular
The enthusiaslance were transs
All three of Gilbert’s supporters were solid and trustworthy people
Even those who didn’t know the authenticity could understand that these porcelains were valuable
To the beauty of porcelain, people were dazzled, and enthusiasm was born
Gilbert’s words excited people, stirred their desire, and spread wild enthusiasm
Wild enthusiasenerated money
If the wild enthusiasm spread, they wouldn’t lack business partners
Creditors would surely wait until the tree that bears money bore fruits2
I saw that Gilbert smiled with his father the Turm elder and his older brother Viscount Turm
He was able to return to where he should return
“If it continues like this, there is no doubt that it will be a huge successLet’s celebrate it”
“Well then, we should toast firstTo the future of the young genius?”
“Your Highness Auguste, please don’t do that~~”
“Hahaha, then, to the prosperity of the Nibelheim family and Knot Reed!”
Auguste slass
Harold was on the verge of tears while s faintly
“Cheers!”
“Cheers”
The hustle and bustle of Knot Reed didn’t abate even when the night was getting late, the people seemed very happy
Before I knew it, I realized I was laughing
Infected by the athter, I felt like I could join the lively banquet at last
In this way,had curtained down for the moment
The afternoon of the next day after we escaped fro with a refreshi+ng sensation of sleeping soundly, I woke upHm, so you re already up, EricaMy,into my face and felt relieved, I replied with a smileAfter I fainted, it seemed that I was exah they orried that I was in a critically ill condition caused by ical reaction, it was determined that I was in a state of sleep that siueAfter that, it see back to Water Palace under the veil of secrecyI had no sWell, I was not worried at allLiesEven though you didn t sleep the whole ti at her anxiouslyEei, shut up, you cat Palug avoided Tirnanog s attack which was unleashed to hide his eood friends as usualThat blond haired prince s perceptiveness was good and that saved us so incognitoSo Auguste sauste was also birds of a featherWhere and what I was doing at that time were likely beca to be undertaken by a rather troublesoht when Otou sa returned to Water PalaceIt seemed that it took hours to see if the weapons runaway didn t occurAnd it seemed that Otou sama immediately returned to the naval port in a non stop round tripIt was due to the post processing of the old style aircraft carrier wreckageFortunately, there were no people nor beasts on that shi+p, so it was lie onlyThat was just an hour before we returned here againThankfully, he didn t notice the fact that I was sound asleep due to fatigue, I ht have been luckyWell, but, Otou sama had to be considerably tired at that time, I should show my appreciation for his hard workAfter that, how is Actorius sensei That gray erThe treat condition anyood Actorius sensei seemed to be transported to the free clinic to be treated by Knot Reed s noted healerIt was because the healer as invited to Castle of Light at that tih to treat himI ve troubled both of youThank you for your hard workIt s fineI think you finished off that Cursed Sword of Fire in relative easeUree is neither annoying nor troublingThe two phantom beasts nodded somewhat proudlyThey were happy as ifa lot of infor with our lunchIt see to the free clinic where Actorius sensei was brought in for questioningI told the servant that I would like to accompany him as well and took a late lunchOtou sama and I took a s and Palug were in another small boat with a caretakerThe clinic was a pure white building, and the inside was separated by a thin veilMoving through the veil, I found a gray haired figure lying on the bedHe rapped round and round with bandages, but I could barely recognize that he was Actorius senseiWhen he noticed our visit, he s faceWe sat on the chairs next to the bedOtou sama activated Historia Electrum to record their conversation, while I quietly listened to their conversationIn the luOn that day, you seem to have been in the ruins where the incident happened as a ation

and rushed to the siteHerous facility that should have been shut doo hundred years ago had their ainUmm since it is obfuscated, it is hard to understand, but please see a copy of this documentActorius sensei spread the three sheets of velluht handThe places o was indeed consistent with the oThis part is the part related to the er scale than the known Cursed Sword of FireIt reacts to the higher ranking fire spirit or phanto the nearby spirit, or so it saidWhat still ait because when it started, it was expected to be on the scale that can evaporate the whole northwestern partHy to be concealed for the purpose of self destructing itThe use of artificial spirits weapons is prohibited, and the fire natured phantom beasts haven t been confirmed for the last 100 years Nevertheless, we cannot say that it wasn t possibleHearing the words of Actorius sensei, my father noddedHuh Was this possibly the incident that could happen if Palug entered the investigation site If there was no barrier to block the intrusion of phantom beasts, in the worst case, she would have been directly involved with the disasterIf there were no people investigating the investigation report two oOr, if Actorius sensei didn t notice the suspicious parts of thethe worst, I shi+veredAt the time of the incident, five lecturers and students ere dispatched froe of the processingIt was because we had to isolate artificial spirits severely before dis itIt isn t certain whether the construction of the barriers was insufficient, or whether soic was misunderstood as disasseered as the objective of the investigation team, and the hot lava had become materializedActorius sensei talked about the flow of the incident, confessing ht in the collapse of the ruins by the explosion, and was about to be sed by the lava and flames that flowed inHowever, at the next moment as I felt intense pain and heat, I collapsed on the Castle of LightPerhaps I was transferred by a colleague as in my immediate sideThe castle was built on a thick ley line, so it ht have been easy to airay eyes shook slightlyIt seemed like the emotions he repressed until now had overflowed, his eyes were full of anxietyWhat happened to him no, to the personnel other than me ere there If they had transited via other ley lines, they should have been transferred to Water Palace or the cathedral, so how are they Actorius sensei asked, but Otou sama cast his eyes down and shook his headOtou sa silenceUnfortunately, I have confiration team other than youEh , no way Actorius sensei shed tears as he overcame with surpriseThe tears spilled out without stop, and his sobbing continued for soht beWhen Otou saraved on the a for Actorius sensei to compose hiather new personnel and reorganize the investigation tea will be

Actorius sensei s hospital room without further wordsOn the way home from the free clinicOn the boat, Otou sama caressed my head and said I asked the healer, but it seems that there are almost no impairments left in Elric kun s bodyIt was fortunate that he was found quick and got the appropriate first aid treatmentIt will also take a few years to transplant the skin for his burn ical treatment those burn marks will be restoredBut we have to wait for time to heal the wounds of his heartYesThe city of Knot Reed that was looked from the top of the canal was in a festive mood all of a suddenThe river bank and the ferries were colorfully decorated, and people were drinking alcohol cheerfullyEveryone was celebrating their good fortune in escaping the legendary calamityOn the shi+p, people in
