48 Lyra becomes an adventurer (1/2)

About Chloe, Saito wouldn't have said much, but Arayoshi made a blunder by mentioning Lyra. It didn't need the genius to understand what he was talking about and Saito coldly replied, ”It looks like you still don't understand, do you? Last time it was Joergen who beat the shit out of someone you know. However, he showed mercy and let him live. I won't show mercy no matter who it is.”

Arayoshi didn't think much of those words and says, ”He just caught my master off-guard. Call out for your beast next time, he will be beaten like a rag doll.”

Saito lightly replies, ”I wouldn't want a kid like you to wet his pants. It would be very embarrassing for someone of your age.”

At around this time, one of the classmates noticed that Chloe was back. He pulled the sleeves of Daishi and muttered something in his ears.

All of them left at the same time in that group, this time, they approached Chloe. Daishi spoke to her while lowering his head, ”Chloe, Edwin is very arrogant. He says that we should stop talking to you or else he would burn our tongues.”

Now… Daishi expected Chloe to get mad at Saito for saying this. It would have been a normal situation if it was Saito madly pursuing Chloe. The opposite occurred, for Saito who had not shown interest in her, she was astonished to know that he threatened them to stop talking to her.

There was a red tint on her cheeks as she thought 'Even though he doesn't show it, does Edwin get jealous when I talk to these guys? Apletely dumbfound them, ”I guess I shouldn't talk to you guys now. If he sees that I am talking to you, he will really burn your tongue.”

After saying that, Chloe left them all while running towards Saito with a slice of bread in her hand. She happily gives him the food and looks at him while he started eating it. All her other classmates remained standing there in shock and then in a fury.

3 of them surrounded Tanjiro Daishi as they spoke with very furious expressions, ”You! Who told you to move your mouth so much?”

Another one spoke, ”Now we can't even talk to her! Just because of what you said. She will just say that she doesn't want Edwin to burn our tongues if we try to talk to her now.”

Daishi raised his hands and slowly tried to explain himself, ”Wait… Releasing your anger on me won't solve anything. We should release our anger of Edwin by thinking up a clever scheme.”

At this time, Arayoshi snorts and says, ”I don't like you, but I understand what you are talking about. It certainly wouldn't help if we fight against each other… We should release our anger on Edwin.”

One of them asked them, ”What should we do then? With the way, it is now… Those two will just keep on getting closer.”

Daishi suddenly speaks with an excited look, ”I have a plan to split then up! Let's inform this to Renya through the long-distance transmission. I am sure he would be interested in dealing with Edwin.”

Everyone was silent at his idea. It was a good idea, but they weren't able to anticipate what would Renya do at the end. However, it was better than doing nothing at all.

Saito was standing near the counter. He saw Chloe approaching him with a flushed expression and wondered what was up with her.

Not speaking up of anything that Daishi had said to her. She stayed next to Saito as they waited for Lyra. Soon enough, Lyra appeared with a thrilling look over her face, ”Edwin, I am an adventurer now!”

Saito pats her head and praises her, ”Great. That's really good.” After he pats her head, his hand reaches out for her hand and holds it.
