ED: Ignite
The pageant was going well, but I was growing more and more impatient.
Because of the demon who suddenly appeared, our plan started to derail.
The plan was, the girls and I would be assigned as guards for Princess Alia who was aiming for the championship, and Waki, Tsuda and Nanase would guard Satou who might win.
It might seem like we werent providing enough protection for Princess Alia, the favorite to win, but we had Akira and Yoru in reserve, so our fighting power was nothing to scoff at.
The ones that we should be vigilant against were the subordinates of Gram, the guildmaster.
According to the information that Tsuda obtained, it seems that every single one of Grams subordinates were wearing the crest of Uruk sowhere on their bodies.
The crest was comprised of three claw marks above a circle.
As I searched with bloodshot eyes for these crests, all while trying to keep a low-profile from Akira, this demon nad Latisnei had appeared.
It seems that the rumor about Gram having ties with the demons was true, and even though I was extrely troubled that there was one more person whom I needed to be wary of, Akira was completely unguarded against that demon.
I was told that it would be fine if we dont lie or say discriminatory words towards her, but I dont trust demons.
I had heard from Yoru, but when we were on the boat that was heading to the beastn territory, it seems that they had abducted Princess Alia, and Akira who chased after them to rescue her had been pushed to the brink of death by the demons.
If Kurou-san had not showed up in ti, he wouldve actually died.
Even though Akira had almost been killed by them, he was still talking to that demon.
It was extrely dangerous.
There were several tis when I tried to raise my voice to warn him, but the demon was clinging onto Akira, and I couldnt talk to him.
That demon, is it really going to be ok?
It seems the demons were the primary custors in the organ trade that Tsuda-kun had talked about. I wonder if that demon ca to participate in that as well.
I could hear Ueno and Hosoyama worriedly talking about it.
It seems that the two people were of the sa opinion as .
You guys think that too, huh.
When I asked them in a low voice so that Akira and the others wouldnt overhear us, the two people nodded.
Coming here at this ti, isnt it suspicious?
TN: This is the sentence in Japanese. I know what the second part ans, but have no idea what the first part is, so I made a very educated guess. If anyone is more proficient in the Kansai dialect, please let know what the first part ans.
Leave Alia-san to us, Asahina-kun should go stay near that person.
I nodded at Hosoyamas words.
I was going to propose that as well.
Its different when its these two people, but if it were , it wouldnt be strange for to talk to Akira who was standing next to that demon.
When I approached them, the two people who were happily chatting looked up at the sa ti.
Oh, Kyousuke, is it their turn already?
I nodded at Akiras words.
The two people walked towards the stage together with Princess Alia.
I thought that it would take ti for them to go around, but it was unexpectedly fast.
Maa, I saw several won who turned pale and left when they saw Princess Alias face. I understood why they would do so.
If there was a face that was as beautiful as that one, I would like to see it.
And then, I looked at the demon who was wearing a hood.
Is it alright for you to not go?
Suddenly rembering that she had to go, the demon headed towards the stage in a hurry.
I thought that if it was almost ti for Princess Alia, Ueno, and Hosoyamas turn, then the sa would go for the demon who ca after them, and it seems that I was right.
I stood next to Akira who gave a wry smile and looked up at the stage.
Akira, you probably forgot Ueno and the others nas again.
I did not miss the fact that he cleverly did not call them by their nas just now.
Akira shrugged, and laughed.
I cant hide anything from Kyousuke.
Of course not. Akira might not rember, but Ive known you for a long ti.
Ive been with Satou and Akira for about ten years.
Akira was smiling, but his eyes sharpened.
A chill ran down my spine.
Then, you cant hide anything from either. I have no interest in other people, but if its your poker face, I can see through it sowhat. maa, Kyousuke, just what are you guys planning?
His look was by no ans one you would use towards your friends.
Akira was not like this when we were in Japan.
What are you talking about?
When I feigned ignorance and tilted my head in confusion, Akiras gaze beca even sharper.
At the very least, you shouldve had the Kansai-dialect girl and the animal trainer get out of my sight. Ever since the pageant started, that girl has been restless the entire ti.
Certainly, Ueno and Waki were easy to understand.
However, if we had just those two go sowhere else, then that would be suspicious.
And then, you as well. You were flustered ever since Latisneil ca. Im going to ask you one more ti, ok? What are you guys planning? no, is sothing going to happen after this?
Seeing that he had keenly pointed everything out, I unconsciously let out a sound of admiration.
Did my friend beco a detective?
Was this the intuition of soone who had gone through life and death?
I shrugged my shoulders and saw Ueno who was on stage waving towards us.
If it were a plan that I had thought up and executed, then I would, without hesitation, tell Akira, but this was sothing that everyone in our party had co up with. I cant talk about it at my own discretion.
I continued to speak with my head hung down.
I was not betraying him, but even so, keeping a secret from Akira was extrely suspicious.
Sothing is definitely going to happen after this. That is for certain, and Gram is involved. be careful, Akira. Make sure to keep an eye on Princess Alia.
got it.
