(WN) Chapter 262 (2/2)
”As if I could leisurely do that while listening on this conversation! The 《Core》 had been stolen by that Predecessor Demon Lord you know! If we don't retrieve it as soon as possible, he will surely cause a great disaster in this country!”
Marione as full of frustration, bann, pounded the table with such intensity However, Aquinas wasn't unfazed by the direct reception of his anger, and said,
”That person is not telling a lie If I had to say soe one”
The long slits in Aquinas' eyes narrohen it turned to Cruzer Even Eveam and Marione who bit into his words, raised their eyebrows in wonder, but Liliyn clicked her tongue and murmured the words 'damn it'
”What do you e?…… Liliyn-dono?”
Eveae on Cruzer's circumstances Cruzer seemed to have been confused too and stared at Liliyn
(…haa, those eyes are really a pain in the ass)
Liliyn seeaze to Aquinas' crimson eyes with clear irritation
”Please be relieved Whoever that person uest in this place I do not wish to relinquish his stay in here”
”……………”
The two did not avert their glance and mutually stared at each other
”…I promise you that”
”Hou, how generous of you to say that, are you sure you can thoughtlessly make such a promise like that? You're not the Demon Lord you know?”
Liliyn's response was rather extremely natural But it was Evea words of Liliyn
”Liliyn-dono, it is as what Aquinas say, I will also promise you of that”
”……ill you do if you break your word?”
”That will absolutely never happen I assure you of that as the Leader of this country”
”…on one condition Even if his identity is revealed, you must swear that you will not disclose his identity to anyone else in this place”
”…you have my word”
At the ave Cruzer a nod when she faced him Cruzer also pondered for a bit, before he returned his positive consent Although he felt uneasy, he see based from Liliyn's worries and Eveam's personality
And so, Cruzer quietly began to speak for himself
”To tell you the truth…”
Cruzer talked about his identity of not being an 『Evila』 but a 『Gabranth』 Then, Marione gave a htly, but Cruzer continued to explain as it is
”I-I you are that 'Cruzer Jio'?”
Marione spoke his name with an unbelievable look in his face Eveam however had a look that she couldn't relate to it It seems she had not heard of a person known as Cruzer Jio
”Cruzer…when I heard that naht it was just a coincidence, but to think you were I had guessed”
Aquinas seemed to have predicted that Cruzer was a master blacksmith based on his wisdom of the past and true nature he saith his eyes
”It was Hiiro-san who had changed my outer appearance, so that I could avoid unnecessary trouble”
”I-I see…so this kind of task is also easy for Hiiro”
Evea a lot of times in consent
”I-if that's the case, do you have evidence to prove your words?”
”So that wasn't enough make you believe, huh?”
Liliyn rumpy face in pursuit to Marione's words
”Hmph, if that's the case why don't we ask ? Surely this kind of authentication won't be quite the labor with that distinguished eyes of yours, no?”
At urgence of Marione's word, not only hilanced at him Aquinas quietly closed his eyes and opened his mouth
”……it's the truth”
Such sirasped that Aquinas' 《Devil Eyes》 perceived the truth without any lies And since he said it wasn't a lie, it also proves that what Cruzer had said were the truth
”B-but ere you living in such a place? Ah, let me take that back, rather, why did you come out now out of the many years of your seclusion?”
”I don't think those enda of this conference, right? What we are here to discuss now is that 《Cursed Sword》, and the counter it”
In face of Marione's curious doubts, Liliyn quickly struck down that question as if it was natural Since she had a point, Marione did not refute and remained silent
”T-that's right It's as Liliyn-dono says I apologize for doubting you Cruzer-dono, if you are one of Hiiro's companion then there is no proble whether where you are from, your birthplace or even your personal career For someone admitted by Hiiro, you have my word”
In face of the words of Eveaently
”I'rateful for your kind words To think that boy's influence would reach even here, the boy is really quite an unexpected one”
Apart from the fact that Cruzer on over by the De words, Liliyn see behind Eveam's words
”Then, back to the heart of the matter, please tell us what you know”
”Understood”
