Vol 9 Chapter 148 (2/2)
“That’s right Selva is alsobefore they can ated a bit, but sticking your head too far in will shorten your lifespan”
Those words could have been taken as a threat, but I shrugged my shoulders, sat deeper into the sofa, and continued my piece
“I’d like towith Lorphys’ crown princess Zayin’s forh Priest Gastone-san Finally, the for for the three of them”
On my words, Alette-san made a face of surprise
“That would be Zayin’s moderate faction Quite a find… I see, you’ve picked up quite an outrageous package yet again If you’ll leave therateful”
I shook my head
“I already accepted their request And we’ll be having them hide for a while”
“What do you plan to do byour side, I’m sure?”
On Alette-san’s words, I nodded
“I do want Lorphys to be the winning side And Zayin has a lot coh a bit of pain While we’re at it, I’d like to take Selva down a notch”
Alette-san made a perplexed expression
“… For that, I’ to build up athe possibility of failure is greater in this instance”
I directed a smile at her
“Oh, we’ll win And the preparations for that, are this ti I will assist Lorphys, and lead the war Well, there will be two countries on the winning side, though”
“Two countries?”
When she said that, spoke with a smile
“So ill you do? Will a hness be possible?”
Making a conflicted expression, Alette-san…
“All I can do is give a report I’m not in a position to make a decision It could be the case that an order will come to capture you by all means”
Seeing her give a fearless laugh, I spoke
“And when it co to Zayin”

When Alette-san left the mansion, I went into the next preparations
The hall on the first floor had plenty of space, and ould be holding an inauguralthere
We hurriedly moved to make it presentable, put out tables, and lined up food and ale
Novem and Monica prepared dishes one after the next, while Monica, Aria, and Clara put them out
May looked like she’d lay her hands on the food, so Shannon was keeping watch over her
And Eva was…
“It’s fine if I sing a light song, right?”
“Right One that rouses the spirit would be nice”
In the prepared hall I’d prepared, I heard the details of the song fro
“… I don’t like how I’ as I can sing How many can we expect?”
She see the nu that
“Ah, right I never told you You were out shopping, and you helped prepare the outfits”
So while everyone was busy preparing, I informed Eva
“The ones co are Creit-san’s party, and other drea to hop on board this story Creit-san’s acquaintances as well Shts of so to the scale, around a hundred, perhaps?”
We scraped up all we could, and at present, that was out limit
“… So you gathered up a hundred? And you’re going to be picking a fight with Zayin without borrowing Lorphys’ power? Even if you plan on directing a s with those numbers alone?”
I smiled
“Don’t worry That includes support, so the ones who can fight are less than half that Equipment won’t make it in time, so this time, it’ll count for around thirty people”
Eva seemed taken aback as she looked at me The ene it Because with that, us included, ould be bringing the fight with force of around forty
I understand why she felt like ht of it
“I-it’s alright Believe in me Even like this, I’m a man who doesn’t do the impossible”
Shen I said that, she let out a light sigh
“I’d prefer it you said that with an expression filled with confidence Like the one you had not too long ago Well, I decided to follow along, so I won’t oppose And if you succeed, there’s no doubt it’ll be a hero’s tale I’ll just add this on, but please don’t die before you confess I’ forward to it”
When she teased me at the end, I felt my face redden, and averted my eyes
And Thelma-san and Aura-san came over to us
They earing Monica’s ho those white dresses that looked as if they were stuck fast on their bodies, both of them seemed embarrassed
Aura-san…
“Hey, what is that !? Clothes like these that show off souncharitable!”
Seeing what Monica had put Thelma-san and Aura-san… as well as the rest of the consecrated virgins in, I had a single thought
“Putting the virgins in sister unifor”
But when I told her that, she et it’ And when she irls, they were all quite showy
Thelma-san spoke shyly
“This one is a bit too e to drape over it?”
Seeing her fidget, Eva…
“Isn’t it fine? It barely shows any actual skin I’d have increased the exposure level myself”
Quite a few of Eva’s stage outfits were quite extreme No, wait, she didn’t have many, but all of them were extreme
Aria spoke in irritation
“Don’t ruin the Holy Maiden’s ie! That maid scoffed when she looked at my chest!”
Seeing her cover up her reserved chest with her right ar Monica produced was of superb craftsmanshi+p
A few of theht and worked in, but her touch was splendid
“No, Monica was in a hurry, and there’s nowe can do And Gastone-san looks kinda satisfied”
We directed our eyes towards Gastone’s advance into the hall
He earing the outfit that’d been e, it had little exposure, but it was still flashy Hit hat was narrow and long, while his robes looked spacious He seeh Priest attire
According to the man himself, it was more comfortable to wear than what he usually had to put on Apparently
(Monica is tooPorter, we’ll be done with all the preparations We’ll have to hurry up with preparing for Zayin’s side)
So we hurried to prepare the party… the inaugural asse with Thelma-san
“Ah, sorry to change the subject, but make sure you take care of that matter”
Thelma-san looked towards me, and nodded
“Without a doubt In the first place, if you’re going to attain victory with this nuovern to march into ith fifty soldiers? I’ down a large force with few numbers is as easy as the fairy tales make it”
Aura-san stuck her glare on me
“How much war experience do you have?”
Her eyes were doubtful, and perhaps because she earing an outfit she detested, she was taking it out on me
I gripped the Jewel once
“Well, a considerable a an ar to march on the main battlefront”
Hearing that, both Aura-san and Thelma-san made faces of surprise
Eva alone was…
“Hey wait, then even if I put it to song, it’s not going to be very exciting”
She seemed quite disappointed
