Volume 12 Chapter 19 (1/2)

12-19 The Gathering of shi+ga Eight SwordsSatou's here It's quiet before a big incident happen And I feel that often the situation has become unrepairable once you've noticed it

Still, I think it's rare for it to really becoive up

◇

After returning from the tea party, I heard about Lady Karina's condition from Arisa

It see to attend the dance party while still ghastly

”What did you say to her?”

”Fufuhn, you want to hear? But, I won't tell yo~u It's a girl's s-e-c-r-e-t”

After waving her finger, 'chichichi', in front of her face, Arisa winks

Her attitude is slightly irritating, but since it's thanks to Arisa that Lady Karina would attend the dance party, I'll forgive her by just pulling her cheeks

”Leave the dance to me~?”

”Pochi also wants Master to look at the result of Pochi's special training nodesu”

”Nn, dance”

The youth trope are askingfaces, but I can't do that right now

”I'o with Liza now”

I feel slightly guilty fro the dejected children, but since to, I promise to accompany them as much as they like

Since Arisa said some unnecessary remark, ”That sounds like a line from a father on't keep his pro her cheeks as a punishment

I' to keep my promise Absolutely!

”--Master, the preparation is complete”

”Un, clothes like those also suit you well”

I praise Liza who's unusually wearing a skirt, and escort her like a lady to the carriage going to Julberg-shi+'s mansion

”What the hell kind a warrior doesn't have their oeapon!”

In the -shi+'s ed swordsman suddenly chastised me

--Who is this person?

”Excuse on, a retainer of Baron Muno”

”Hmph, it's impossible for an upstart worthless noble like you to becoht Sword, keep that in mind!”

No no, I'

I look at the ain

He's a rather high level warrior at level 42 His age is also 42the level, but it's probably a coincidence

I think he's also a candidate of shi+ga Eight Sword, but his affiliation is with Parion Tedom

Apparently he's recoht or a Mithril explorer

Matching that, his title is also [Teht] But the titles seen even just on the AR are dangerous ones like [Murderer], [assassin]

He certainly has this so that matches those titles

Matching those titles, his th Drain] effects

I'ly suspicious origin and information, but he doesn't seeht of Liberty]

Liza who's standing besidethose information, but help comes before she could snap

”Jizon-dono, stop being iuests I've invited”

”H like a des”

The one who interceded is the host, Julberg-shi+

However, this ed his ai-shi+, and provoked him

--He's like a

He's forties already, I wish he's a bit more composed

I wonder if the word, 'fuwaku', does not exist in this world <tln: can=”” ht=”” course'=””>

”Are youme, brat”

There's anger on Julberg-shi+'s words

It see the two, they look excited waiting for what'll happen next

--These damn muscle brains

Now then, since the , I'll follow up

If these two fight, on't get to feast on the Oumi beef, spare me from that The chef of this house is famous as the best in term of meat dishes in the Royal Capital, so I don't want to miss this chance

I'll up irls too

”Fuhn, if you're a warrior, sooner than words--”

Using Ground Shrink, I approach the ether with his words, and hold down the pommel of the sith the open palm of my hand

These tere looking at each other, so my Ground Shrink shouldn't have been found out They probably will interpret it as Flickering Move the line

TheSTR difference

”This is a place for having pleasant chat you know We can have the side show after the meal okay?”

Thehis strength until his face is flushed, but the sword's po

”That's a good ide-”

Theto pull the sword and then relaxes himself

Even though Crisis Perception doesn't kick in, I stop theto pull a short sword behind his body by stopping his other elbow

That's obvious indeed

”--Have I passed the exam with this?”

I ask while sununu

Even though I've dropped the [exaed man kicks at my foot There's a hidden knife on the tip of his shoe

I kinda expected it since I often dealt against surprise attacks from monsters I had seen for the first tiround, preventing the attack

I held back, but I felt dull sensation froht have cracked

”An explorer's body is a weapon as you see Have you understood?”

While relaxing the power on the place where I trample his foot, I smile at him

Of course, with the help of [Poker Face] skill, I make it so my emotion isn't reflected on my eyes

”Hht with me after the dinner”
