Chapter 157 – Longtime Companions

After Hiiro returned to his rooated him about his discussion with Aquinas, just as he expected In order to

Not only that, but for so a relieved expression It was likely because her concerns were proven to be false

“Well, if that is what you have decided, I won’t do anything to stop you” (Liliyn)

“Nofofofofo! Ojou-sa “Has he returned yet?” She was not able to settle down at all!” (Silva)

“T-t-t-t-t-that’s not true, you morooooooooooon!” (Liliyn)

“Buhen—?!” (Silva)

Because of Silva’s unnecessary remarks, Liliyn’s face instantly flushed a deep red As if to hide her feelings, she kicked Silva in the face

Although Shamoe was surprised by the sudden act of violence, she took care of the now silent Silva as sprawled on the ground

“Haa haa haa haa…… Listen well, Hiiro! That bastard was spouting nonsense! It wasn’t like that, alright?!” (Liliyn)

With soer and frantically denied the validity of Silva’s colanced at her and—

“Is that so…” (Hiiro)

He replied in a completely indifferent manner Naturally, Liliyn was taken aback by his total disinterest She glared at him and said—

“Y-y-y-y-y-you fool! Someday, I will make you kneel before me!” (Liliyn)

Even as she yelled, Liliyn’s still-red face and tiny body didn’t evoke a single ounce of fear Rather, seeing her act so desperately would make anyone smile

(What are you acting so desperate for……) (Hiiro)

Sadly, nothing Lilyn said affected Hiiro in the slightest He gave out the same dry answer as usual

“Sh-shi+shou!” (Nikki)

Without any warning, Nikki clenched her fists and yelled

“What?” (Hiiro)

“S-shi+shou is, uht?!?!” (Nikki)

“Yeah” (Hiiro)

Nikki then gave a clearly restless expression Hiiro understood what she wanted to say and indifferently told her—

“You’re no good” (Hiiro)

“Eeeh!? W-why?!“ (Nikki)

Nikki showed a very disappointed face, as though she had received a great shock

“It’s only natural; it’s still too early for you” (Hiiro)

“B-But…… I want to help shi+shou!” (Nikki)

“This request is for me You don’t need to be involved” (Hiiro)

“Uuuu……” (Nikki)

She fell silent at Hiiro’s complete rejection

“This is a duel involving the fate of this country You’ve still got a long way to go before you can even think about shouldering such a responsibility” (Hiiro)

“Uuuu~ stronger!” (Nikki)

“Ha?” (Hiiro)

“Stronger, stronger, strongeeeeeer! If I becoside shi+shou?!” (Nikki)

She set her lips straight and gave Hiiro a serious look After seeing such a display, Hiiro sighed and nodded his head

“Let’s see, just getting stronger isn’t enough But, well, if you becoether with me” (Hiiro)

“Then, I will becoer! So when the ti with you!” (Nikki)

“…Well, I’ll be waiting for it” (Hiiro)

Hiiro flicked Nikki on the forehead, htened considerably, but Mikazuki was dissatisfied with this turn of events and puffed her cheeks

“Buu~! Why is it only Nikki~? Mikazuki wants to be flicked too!” (Mikazuki)

Although Mikazuki started to throw a tantruarded her Nikki stuck out her chest with pride,superior over the childish Mikazuki

“Ku…… Ku…… Kuiiii! Shamoe-chaaaaaan!” (Mikazuki)

The mortified Mikazuki dove towards Shamoe’s chest Shamoe then kindly stroked Mikazuki’s head to console her

“Speaking of which, ill the duel take place?” (Silva)

Asked Silva, who had recovered without anyone noticing

“I still don’t know Even if we finish all the preparations, shouldn’t we also worry about the other side? Well, we can be sure they’ll bring their best fighters” (Hiiro)

“Hohou, then the <three warriors=””>> will certainly be there The Beast King and…There were two, right? The two princes, as well” (Silva)

Silva’s investigation churned out nothing but top-class names

“Iya……” (Hiiro)

“Nofo? Are there others?” (Silva)

“……It’s nothing” (Hiiro)
