Vol 16 Chapter 305 (2/2)
Nove on the sofa A low table between us, I looked at Novem on the other side
“Long ago… this is about the distant past My opinion diverged from Septem, and I… Novem and Octō…”
“Novem, stop”
“Lyle-sama?”
I decided to tell her what I knew I had to
“To be honest, with evil Gods and Goddesses, there are tooto defeat Celes and unify the continent I don’t even know if I’ll live to see it all co it to the ti”
From the Jewel, I heard the Third’s voice
『Thet’s right But you didn’t tell her you’re not still ai for it!』
Novem looked surprised, but she looked down a bit
“… Lyle-sama, I am…”
“However”
I cut her off, and asked It was an i
“I want to hear how you really feel So tell me No secrets anymore”
Nove her mouth
It was a truth far exceeding my expectations

… Baldoir had ventured from Rhuvenns Castle to South Beim
He had stopped by for work, but even entering the city, his head hurt upon hearing of Lyle’s dispute with Novem
The one who invited hi were Maksim and Da drink and food to his room
As Baldoir held his head, Maksim took a sip of ale
“Lyle-dono and Noveh”
He said it as if it were someone else’s business, completely uninterested At his attitude, Baldoir flew into a rage
“It isn’t just rough! Do you understand! Just how important of a tie Lyle’s hareine who’ll oods I ordered aren’t even coo back”
Da
“Old Letarta’s a busy one The other craftsh, Baldoir Rather, you sure are courageous, accepting the unsold goods Lyle pushed onto you If it were o insane”
“… For argu her like unsold goods? There’s a bit of a probleood person”
Both Maksim and Damien felt the same
“If it were e was pushed onto me You sure did well, Baldoir”
“And as I was saying, don’t talk as if I drew the short straw She’s actually relatively cute”
The two of them looked at Baldoir
“Not happening The wo in my head is the only one for me”
“Don’t care about anyone besides Adele-sama”
With those words, the drunkards burst into laughter Baldoir looked over them
(Why are the pervert and the famed celebrity so kind to me? And wait, no matter how you look at it, these are vital rip)
Baldoir couldn’t see so ith him as he continued his consultation on Lyle
“What are you talking about, Maksiinally, with your positions, a e or tould be…”
“But I refuse! I have devoted this life ofto concede to another, there are soive!”
With a reddened face, Maksi Baldoir hovered his face with a hand
“In that case go marry Adele-dono already So up talks of engagement with you”
There, Maksiht red
“That… um, I’m fine with that, but the problem is I’m not sure what Adele-sama thinks of me, or how should I put it… and I’m a former retainer, and Milady is an existence h there’s a sort of charm to that relationshi+p too, see”
(This guy’s a pain Why are there so many of these sorts around Lyle-sama?)
As Baldoir cursed in his heart, Damien took a sip of the automaton-poured ale
“Well, does it really ht with one of his lovers? With such numbers, I’m sure he has a spare or two”
On his words, the nearby automaton twisted her body
“Ah, that dry tone But that’s what ”
Baldoir looked at the automaton
(… Monica-dono’s the same, but these automatons definitely have a screw loose damn, why can no one understand the severity of this crisis?)
As Baldoir down his glass, Maksi
“Muh! Come to think of it, I had bet on ould take his body first The strongest contenders were Ludmilla-dono and Lianne-dono, so I had placed my bet on Novem!”
Damien in kind
“That’s right! I also bet the loose change I was earning! No… nos, so I invested all ot into a fight”
Baldoir sla from his chair
“What are you guysbets for!? I won’t crack down on it, but don’t take the initiate to ga trouble ho’s in whose faction! The slightest strange movement you shoill cement who’s faction you’re a part of!”
Maksirasped Baldoir’s shoulders, and set him back down in his chair After Baldoir reluctantly sat, Maksim spoke up
“Rest at ease I’m on whatever side Adele-sama supports”
“That didn’t put me at ease at all!”
As Baldoir cried out, the Autoht over refills…
