47 Going in the Union (2/2)

Daishi though wasn't having any of it, ”Shut up! You think you know her better than I do!? You who disappeared for more than a month in this world think you know her better than I do?”

Saito shrugged in response, ”Whatever.”

While simultaneously, Lyra replied to Arayoshi with a smile on her face as she glanced at Saito, ”It's because Edwin wanted to come here.”

Arayoshi frowned even more and then spoke, ”I just bought a new mansion from the money I earned through my latest mission. I would be happy if you come with me to see this mansion.”

Before Lyra could reply to him, Saito coolly spoke, ”Sorry, we are going to be on our way now to register Lyra as an adventurer.”

Behind him, Lyra supported him by saying, ”As Edwin said. Let us be on our way now.”

They moved forwards, there was a reception desk. A beautiful woman, though not as attractive as Lyra or Chloe but still enough to touch the heartstrings of men.

She asked them with a polite voice, ”What do you want sir?” Since Saito's identity as a hero was pretty rare, and this title's status was above their own status, so she was careful to show a respectful attitude to Saito.

Saito pointed at Lyra while he said, ”I want you to register her as an adventurer.” The receptionist nodded her head and said, ”Sir, it would take a minute, but she has to come with me for the process of analysis.”

As he was surprised by her words, Saito voiced in his head 'Iris… create an illusion where they believe Lyra's Elf Magic to be Wood Magic.'

[As you command master. This magic will be up for around 5 minutes only before someone may notice the anomalies.]

'That's enough time. Start the illusion 5 seconds after when Lyra enters the room with her.' Saito commanded Iris within his head. While he nodded to the words of the receptionist. He whispered into Lyra's ears, ”Don't mention anything about your elf magic or your heritage. I have taken care of it. In their records, you will just have wood magic.”

Receiving a nod in return, Lyra was thankful to Saito that he had prepared for this situation.

Iris started the illusion 5 seconds later as Lyra enters the room with the receptionist.

Now… Chloe and Saito were standing outside, waiting for her to come out. Suddenly, Saito asks Chloe, ”I am a little hungry right now, Chloe. Can you go to bring some food for me please?”

Since it was Saito requesting her, she immediately left the place to bring some food for Saito. As the men who were staring at Saito with eyes completely full of envy and resentment, they were surprised to see that he was left alone by both Chloe and Lyra.

This was the only opportunity they would get, and they weren't planning to let it go to waste. All the 8 of them made a semi-circle and surrounded him from one side, blocking him.

This, however, didn't affect Saito at all, and he said, ”You all seem to have some sort of grudge against me. I am getting sick of these mind games, just tell me the truth already.”

Saito asked them very casually, Daishi replied him, ”You seem to have become a little more powerful since returning back but don't think for a second that you can challenge us. Stay away from Chloe before we decide to remove you…”

”Remove me?” There was faint ridicule on his face as if he was asking ”Are you high or what?”

Arayoshi stepped forward at this moment, he seemed to support Daishi as he added, ”I believe you don't understand what you are dealing with. I did give you a great offer for that woman who is acquitted to you. You could have saved yourself from all this trouble, but now, you will watch with your own eyes as I steal that woman from you.”
