Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group? Book 4: Chapter 74:2: Practicing the Sword, and the Dragon a

The next day:

A music performance would take place in Lungn on this day. This was a performance—no, it should be called a concert—by a famous Victorian conductor.

Chen Heng obtained three tickets to this concert from Swire, planning to bring Nightingale and Skadi.

Although the concert would not end smoothly, it would mostly go alright.

“Giles Brent? I’ve heard of him; he is a famous conductor. I did not expect him to hold a concert in Lungn. I know little about him, but there’s a Vanguard called Vigna in Rhodes Island who likes a guitarist in his orchestra.”

[TL Note: Giles Brent is a made-up na; I could not find any reference to such a person in Arknights or in real life. As the na in Chinese looks like an English na transliterated into Chinese, I made up a na similar to what it sounds like in Chinese. Vigna is a Sarkaz who loves rock’n’roll and is also a capable guitarist herself. Here is her profile: /wiki/Vigna/Overview.]

At this mont, Nightingale stood at the theater’s entrance, clutching her ticket for the concert.

“I’m not that interested, but since I’m here, I might as well go in and watch.” In contrast to Nightingale, Skadi had not even heard of this person.

That made sense. Skadi spent most of her ti fighting. How could she spare energy on this?

“Go in first. I see my elder cousin, so I’ll go over and say hello.”

Chen Heng saw Ch’en, Swire, and so Lungn Guard Departnt mbers maintaining order nearby, so he headed over after letting Nightingale and Skadi know.

“Elder Cousin, are you responsible for maintaining order for the concert?”

“It’s Little Heng! That’s right. Since this concert is held by a famous conductor with significant influence, I have to mobilize the Lungn Guard Departnt to maintain order in case of a terrorist attack.”

“Shithead dragon, what do you know? This is a renowned conductor from Victoria. A philistine like you would never understand. Look, your younger cousin even asked for three tickets to this concert.”

Swire took this opportunity to mock Ch’en using the conductor and Chen Heng.

“Elder Sister Swire, don’t say that. I’ve only just heard of his na; my appreciation for music is average. I simply wanted to bring my companions.”

“Swire, are you looking for trouble again? Why would I be like you people who are born with a golden spoon in your mouth, only interested in costics, music, and the like?”

“You are discriminating against . Why do you think I only know about costics and music? This is discrimination, severe discrimination.”

“Oh? Have you forgotten about that incident?”

“That ti? Oh! I recall now. However, I’ve already apologized for that.”

“But I did not accept that apology. I’ll forgive you when you change your habit of putting so many things in your bag. I ended up pulling out two lipsticks and a bottle of makeup fixer spray when I was incognito on the bus trying to apprehend so criminals.”

“…Damn shithead dragon! You were in the wrong yourself. Why didn’t you notice you had the wrong bag?”

“Char siu cat!”

*Lungn vulgarity*! You *Lungn vulgarity*!”

“I wish you get rich in *Lungn vulgarity*!”

“Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Elder Cousin, Elder Sister Swire, can you two stop? Everyone is looking at you.”

Chen Heng stopped the two from fighting, suspecting that if he did nothing, the two might start a large-scale ard battle.

After all, the violent Hoshiguma, who could stop the two from fighting, was not here. Chen Heng had to do it.

The two looked around and noticed the Lungn Guard Departnt mbers had stopped working and were looking at the two.

“What are you looking at? Why aren’t you checking the security of every exit?!” After Ch’en issued her command, the Lungn Guard Departnt mbers all resud work.

“Officer S, could you go about your duty and not disturb ?”

“Shithead dragon, how many tis do I have to say it? Don’t call Officer S. My na is Beatrix Schwire; Swire is just my codena, not my na. Either call Swire or Beatrix. Don’t just use the S from Swire and add an officer prefix.”

“How problematic. Tsk!”

“Shithead dragon, you just expressed irritation. Do you have a problem with my family na?”

For so reason, the stern and inflexible Ch’en always ended up arguing with Swire.

“Alright. Elder Sisters, please stop fighting. I ca over to say hi and to warn you of a very pleasant surprise at the end of the concert. Rember to protect that conductor; otherwise, there might be a diplomatic incident.”

The two imdiately stopped arguing after hearing Chen Heng’s words. Then they exchanged looks.

Work was work, and personal was personal. The two could separate work from personal, especially when sothing would happen soon.

“If you know sothing, tell us more.”

“Elder Cousin, I can’t do that. I cannot leak the heavenly secrets.”

“Tsk! Younger Cousin, you are becoming more like those oracle grifters.”

“I can’t help it. If I tell you, this concert cannot continue. Why did I go to all that effort to make a trip here, then?”

“…” This reason…if he weren’t my younger cousin, I would have brought him back to the Lungn Guard Departnt several tis already.

“However, there’s no need to worry. In any case, it will be just a scare with no damage, alright?”

“Alright, alright. Quickly go in. You might as well have said nothing.” Ch’en waved her hand, shooing Chen Heng in.

Since you know the truth and have already told us a bit about it, you might as well tell us everything. You only said a portion and hid the rest; this is frustrating.

Chen Heng enjoyed seeing others frustrated from being upset at him but unable to do anything to him.

The attack on this concert initially resulted in the conductor’s kidnapping. However, Chen Heng’s reminder changed the future, and the conductor would only suffer so light injuries.

After entering, Chen Heng found his seat between Skadi’s and Nightingale’s. However, the three did not talk.

A concert was different from a performance. One had to remain absolutely silent in a concert. Making any sound was a sign of disrespect towards the perforrs.

All who could get tickets to this concert were not ordinary people, so they knew the rules. Thus, the entire concert hall was quiet.
