Vol. 5 Chapter 3 Part 1

Ahh, I want to return

In the carriage that was heading toward Lord Tauls castle, s.h.i.+n sighed.

It has been several days since the Large Flood. The investigation of the periphery, the monsters raw material extraction and their corpses removal and so on, were mostly over. s.h.i.+n and the others received an invitation.

Apparently after each Flood, A party was held and the person who had the most distinguished achievements would be awarded. It was said that they wanted all the Chosen Ones to come too.

After the war ended, s.h.i.+n was asked to stay for awhile. He agreed because he intended to help with the removal work. Their idea of stay though seemed to be different from what s.h.i.+n envisioned.

Thats my line.

Next to s.h.i.+n was a gloomy looking Tiera. She was not a Chosen One, but many soldiers had witnessed her figure shooting the monsters from the top of the rampart. So it was natural that she was asked to attend as well.

Though they tried to refuse because they claimed to be too busy with work, the people who they were working with shot down the excuses by saying Were good here, so go

For the residents of Balmel, it was unthinkable that someone who had achieved so much for them and who deserved a medal of honor for their service would go without receiving proper thanks, or so they said.

Because everyone who told me to go ahead had great smiles, I couldnt decline.

You too?

Since they all said it with such good will, she found it impossible to refuse. s.h.i.+n was in the same boat so he understood what she meant.

s.h.i.+ns achievements were reported by the knight squadron, right? The people living here, do that without fail.

That doesnt mean that this is going to be a formal ceremony. If you worry about it too much, youll just tire yourself out.

Think about being able to eat food for free. Just like a n.o.bles party, no suspicious envious guys should approach you.

Schnee, Shadow and Holly, who had experienced this kind of party before, tried to rea.s.sure them. Hibineko didnt express it in words but he also wanted to say the same thing.

Ive just never been to a ceremony like this before, you know?

Well, theres no time like the present to get used to this then. We have been through this a few times. Its better if you get used to this now while youre still young. It might prove useful in the future.

Though Hibineko said that, there would hardly be a ceremony like this in real life, s.h.i.+n thought. On the other hand, he was already committed and could no longer back out since hed come this far already. He decided to just accept his fate. Just in case, he lightly re-checked his attire to make sure he wasnt looking scruffy.

As for what s.h.i.+n wore, it was a Kalkias formal suit, the same clothes he wore when he went to Bayreuths royal castle. After removing the dirt, it was in mint condition.

As for Tiera sitting next to him, she wore a bright green dress. Her black hair was gathered together at the back of her head and she had put on light make-up. The combination made her beauty look even more polished. For her one-piece dress, a section from her shoulder to her upper arms was cut out and the skirt was longer on the right side than on the left. It was an asymmetrical type dress. It fit tightly around her waist, which accentuated the thinness of Tieras waist. The only thing wrong with the outfit was the person wearing it, because she had drooping shoulders and a depressed expression.

Even though she seemed distressed, she still looked amazing. If someone had announced that she was the princess of a country, n.o.body would doubt it.

Holly and Shadow who were sitting in front of them, wore a white dress and a black suit. It was indeed the proper attire for a ceremony. Hollys dress was a long type skirt that was called a mermaid type dress. A strap on her left shoulder held a gem that emitted a blue glow which emphasize its presence. With a dress that is showing more body lines than Tieras, Hollys good sense of style stood out. Shadow who was perfectly dressed in his suit, didnt stand a chance.

Though Hibineko also wore a suit, he gave off a slightly comical impression due to the nature of his physique. However, it was clear, that he was used to wearing a suit. Like s.h.i.+n, he typically didnt feel the need to dress up in clothes like this, but in such a place, at such a time, his experience meant that he was comfortable dressed up.

That said, the most radiant one there was Schnee. Since it was widely known that Schnee Raizar rarely partic.i.p.ated in events like this, she was attending as Yuki, s.h.i.+ns fiance.

As part of her disguise, her hair had been changed from silver to gold and her eyes had been changed from blue to red. Because the skill she used prevented her from being noticed when she used it on herself, that level of disguise was sufficient.

Her hair which was lightly tied behind her head was held in place by an ornamental hairpin. The hairpin included a red jewel to match her new eye color. The white dress she wore boldly exposed her back from her shoulders to her waist.

Since the dress was designed to tighten the cloth under her arms, her chest was strongly emphasized. Because Schnees b.r.e.a.s.t.s were already naturally large this attracted the gaze of groups of males even though it was not a low-cut dress.

However, the color of the dress combined with Schnees natural demeanor didnt reflect a feeling of excessive s.e.x appeal. The neat look in combination with her allure, instead made her an enchanting figure who exuded charm.
