Volu 3, Chapter 18: Late Night Visitor
Part 4: It’s Not My Fault that I’m so Popular!
“Cheers~”
At the north-eastern district outside the academy, there’s a high-class restaurant called ‘Dragon’s Night’. Currently, inside its private room, we were holding up our glasses to celebrate our victory for the day.
Other than Irlin and Princess Michelle, there were also Shir, Aliyah, Falan and the girls, and our classmates.
However, it was Princess Michelle’s idea to eat in this restaurant. Just like my forr world, without having a certain level of identity, it wouldn’t be possible to enter a VIP-only restaurant like this.
However…
Isn’t the notion in this world a bit too exaggerated? Even if our class had more than 30 people, there isn’t a need to offer us a room that could hold more than a 100 people, right? A table big enough to sit 50 people, and there’s two of them… Are you giving us the space to play Three Kingdom Slaughter or Werewolf Slaughter?
(t/n: TKS/WS are Chinese online card gas that could hold a lot of people in a single round it seems.)
But, if that’s really the case, the ga will simply end after everyone draw a single card…
But if I were to say sothing truthful… The food in high-class restaurants are indeed delicious. Compared to the food you eat on the streets, there’s really a considerably big difference.
Unfortunately, everyone were bombarding with questions related to magic battles and techniques, and I could only get a spoon full every couple of minutes.
The current atmosphere felt like we already won the Annual Tournant. This however, made a little worried.
Even though Brecht’s magic tool was against the rules, however, in fact, that’s just a special case.
If our next opponent possess a high-grade cheat-level magic tool that does not go against the rules, what will happen?
This is not sothing that I shouldn’t be worried about. After all, in my match earlier, I already exposed my actual strength. Even though my future opponents wouldn’t be sure of the upper limit of my strength, but, they would definitely use all their strength to defeat right at the start.
Thinking about this, if I were to drop my guard at the beginning of the match earlier, and Brecht decided to drop a full-powered ‘Sunfall’ at right at the start, it would definitely have been a difficult fight for .
“What are you thinking about~? Mind telling us how you managed to dodge those attacks again~?”
“Ah… Un. Alright.”
No point think about it. It would eventually be a straight route the mont we reach the start of the bridge. We can always talk about this later.
The party ended late in the night, and everyone began to disperse back to their own lodgings.
The male and female dormitories are separated, and there are several nobles in our class, so their dormitories are obviously different from a commoner like .
And, I’m not the type that require a large living space, hence, I picked the cheapest place to live in.
Hence, along the way back, I ended up being the only person left walking to my dormitory.
There aren’t any curfews set in the academy’s dormitories, so, it’s fine to return whenever.
My dormitory was situated in a far and secluded area. At a ti like this, people would already be back ho or decided not to return for the night. Hence, very quickly, the surroundings slowly beca quiet.
However, I don’t really feel bored walking back alone. After all, through the walls, I could still see the nas of people nearby.
It’s rather interesting to drop so tsukkomi’s on titles that so people have, and I could also find out a lot of information from looking at their titles.
For example, the guy nad Madair on the right, he had titles like [Stingy] and [Traveler]. From these two titles, I could judge that he’s soone that does small-scale trading, as he’s not an actual rchant just yet. Hence, from this, I could deduce that title [rchant] would not appear on anyone who simply does trading.
And the person called Dan behind , why does his na look so weird…
…
Wait, his na is Dan?
I seem to recall soone with this na, and it’s very recent as well.
Because his na corresponds to soone else, called Dual. And if I recall, she’s a 17 year old muscular girl…
Alright, this isn’t the point. The point is, why is Princess Michelle’s bodyguard following ?
I looked around my surroundings, and I did not see Princess Michelle’s na.
That girl actually has a magic tool capable of invisibility? That’s impossible, right? If her bodyguard did not use it, why would she use hers?
Then the only explanation is… This guy especially ca to look for ?
“Is there sothing you need? Is it sothing that we have to spend ti talking about in my dorm over a cup of tea, or is it sothing that can be easily settled outside?”
“…”
I looked in Dan’s direction for quite a while. That guy seed to have hesitated for a bit, before coming out from the shadows.
Haaa… This guy is actually covered entirely in black. What is he planning to do?
I don’t like n, you know.
“As expected, Fir, to be able to sense that I was following you, you’re beyond ordinary. Even though I did not hide intentionally, but normally, people would not be able to sense my presence. You did not intentionally look around for people who might be following you, rather, you saw the mont you casually turned. It seems your actual strength is indeed above the level of this school’s Elentary Grade.”
“… Usually, when you’re silent, was it because you’re trying to be a mukuchi? When you suddenly said so much in a single breath, it’s really hard to adapt, you know?”
(t/n: mukuchi: tanoshiijapanese/dictionary/entry_details.cfm?entry_id=51158)
“Muku…chi? What’s that?”
“Don’t mind it. Oh well. I will answer you. It’s just easy for to look for people that are hiding in my surroundings. And you did not use any hiding-related skills, so it was natural that I could see you.”
“Is that so? I did not expect you have such an ability.”
“Let’s put that aside. What are you trying to do by following , while dressed entirely in black? Are you planning to do sothing to ?”
“Of course not. I’m Princess Michelle’s professional bodyguard. And the princess still needs to rely on you to win the Annual Tournant, so I can’t lay my hands on you.”
I can’t see his expression. Although his tone sounded rather relaxed, however, he did not have any intonation to his words at all, and it felt horrible.
“Then, why?”
“Because there’s soone who wish to avoid Princess Michelle and talk to you directly.”
“…”
What the hell? Why does a hidden scenario have to happen late in the night? Can’t you at least give a chance to sleep?
Hey, look at how tired I am from today, and let get so rest.
“Do you mind telling , who is it?”
Although sleep is important, however, I can’t reject a situation where I might be able to earn sothing good.
“Follow and you will find out. Trust , and trust Princess Michelle. We will definitely not harm you.”
So what if you harm ? I can resurrect as long as I’m in the city. What can you do to stop ?
“Alright, lead the way.”
He nodded, and turned towards the alley.
Sighing, I chased after his na.
And then, this guy, after applying pressure to his feet, he actually jumped onto the top of the building when he entered the alley!
Oh my freaking god! Do you actually think I can fly!?
(t/n: Umm… you can, dude.)
I helplessly shook my head. Tapping on ‘Light Steps’ and ‘Accelerate’, I jumped onto the second floor. After that, I borrowed the balconies at the side and slowly jumped up.
“Please, stop making a Magician do what a Warrior do!”
“Aren’t you able to keep up with just fine?”
“…”
With no words to fight back, this guy was seriously pissing off.
However, for the possibility of a hidden quest, I will endure!
After sprinting across roofs for several minutes, we returned to the comrcial district.
Although it was already ti for bed, but so stores were still open.
Dan leapt for couple of tis, and landed on a balcony of an unknown restaurant. He then walked in.
I followed after him and went in as well.
“So you’re Fir? As expected… You’re strong!”
The person in front of gave a huge fright. After all, I read about him in the library’s information terminal!
Hur Ice Afungus
The Emperor of Ice Empire!
And… Princess Michelle’s father!
