Chapter179，Part2: 2 - Prediction ② Chapter 179 Prediction ②? Part 2

“W-wasn’t it the end, 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)!?” (Franz)

“Y-You have done it again, desu! Lying Human (Usotsuki Ningen)!” (Kruz)

“………… Well, well, calm down.” (Cry)

How was I supposed to know if it was over or not? Would it have been better if I told them that a massive swarm was coming? Hmm?

Franz-san, however, didn’t question further but gave instructions to his knight.

“Prepare for his Majesty’s evacuation. There must be a basent!” (Franz)

“B-But there are still Chilldra outside――” (Knight)

“It is better than dealing with that swarm! 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》, now that it cos to this, I’ll have you work too!” (Franz)

“…… Of course, yeah.” (Cry)

I don’t want to deal with them, but I am not going to skip out on them after all this ti.

Rather, I would probably have a better chance of surviving if I were with everyone rather than being by myself. After all, I can’t do anything.

Even for Kilknight, it would be too much to deal with such a large group. Moreover, Kruz was also talking less and less.

Now then, how should I move――The swarm of Chilldra was descending on us like ants attracted to honey. They are at a distance where I can see them with my own eyes. It would probably be useless to escape on my carpet. Moreover, it doesn’t listen to .

While I was turning the gear on my head for the first ti in a while, Franz talked to .

“《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》, you can deal with them, right?” (Franz)

“Eh……?” (Cry)

“We will take his Majesty and hide in the basent. You get as many of them as you can! Understood!?” (Franz)

Eeeeeeh……

Can you do it? Or rather, you will do it? Right?

Sure I can be counted on if you only look at my Level, and it may even be a natural decision, but I couldn’t help but laugh at his overbearing behavior.

I can’t, you know. It is true that I can’t hide in the basent with the Emperor, but there is no way in hell that I can deal with that swarm.

“W-What are you laughing at――” (Franz)

Franz approached with a stiff face, as I was smiling at him, disregarding the TPO.

Just as I was about to take a step back from the sheer amount of his pressure, one of the knights who had been checking out the window let out a short cry.

Everyone’s gaze turned in that direction. And Franz-san’s expression changed dramatically.

“W-What is happening!?” (Franz)

The huge swarm of Chilldra that had been approaching us at high speed had co to a complete stop in midair.

With their mouths wide open, their large wings and shining eyes were all stopped, it was truly a miraculous sight. It was as if ti had stopped.

The knights leaned out of the window and looked at the sky. And as if they were waiting for them to watch this, the swarm of Chilldra all fell at once.

Instead of falling to the ground, the swarm of Dragons was caught by a film of water that suddenly spread in the air.

Kruz shuddered and looked at the scene as if she were devouring it.

“A large scale… Offensive Magic…… Huh!” (Kruz)

!!

Large-scale offensive Magic…… I have heard that the wider the range of offensive Magic it is, the more difficult it becos. There was only one person in this dark pot who could deploy an offensive Magic on such a scale and could kill a dragon.

Franz-san shuddered and muttered his na with a pale expression on his face.

“Is it 《Still Water (Shisui)》…… W-What… Is that Magic?” (Franz)

.

That’s right. Term Apokris, the 《Still Water (Shisui)》. This ti we have a Level 7 Magi with us.

I want to praise myself for putting Term in the Dark Pot. I feel like I just used one of my nine lives. I breathed a sigh of relief.

“He is finally here. Seriously, he was so late.” (Cry)

This ti, I really thought that it was over. I wiped the cold sweat off my face.

“You predicted this…… So you already made your move……. And prepared this.” (Franz)

I would like to say sothing cool like everything went as predicted, but unfortunately, I couldn’t.

“No, I didn’t make my move. I just…… Believed in Term.” (Cry)

Badass, right?

Kruz shouted with tears in her eyes.

“Yowaningen, enough of this! You should say sothing first, desu!” (Kruz)

“Ah… Ahahahaha……” (Cry)

The mbrane that caught the Chilldra wriggled and turned into a giant water ball with a large number of Chilldra trapped inside.

Without stopping, it began to slowly shrink. The Chilldra inside scratched and made a screaming-like sound, but the shrinking never stopped.

The water sphere was compressed with its contents. The transparent water ball was covered with green blood, and the sound of crushed flesh and crushed bones made want to cover my ear.

It is a vicious magic that is hard to imagine from soone nad 《Still Water (Shisui)》. Everyone was staring at the terrifying Magic.

And the swarm of Chilldra that had been tornting us for so long was easily wiped out as if it were just a joke.

§

“I heard that Dragons were coming, but I didn’t expect that many…… Seed like all Level 8 treated their people roughly.” (Term)

“Ukekekeke……” (Kechakchakka)

Term was back. He was accompanied by Kechakchakka, who was nowhere to be seen. Apparently, he had been fighting sowhere else, as his black robe was stained with green blood.

Despite what he said, his expression was devoid of any fatigue. That looked like a very powerful magic, but I guess you can say that was as expected of a Level 7. He was so energetic that he didn’t look like soone twice my age.

“Tsk…… Well done, 《Still Water (Shisui)》. It looks like that was the last of them. Thanks to you, no one died.” (Franz)

“Don’t worry about it. It was my mission…… However, the problem is what to do now.” (Term)

At Franz’s words, 《Still Water (Shisui)》 raised his shoulders.

Nice middleman, of course he was. No matter how you look at it, he should have been the Leader.

The commotion had sohow subsided. The Chilldra’s corpses and the debris had been removed and there was already nothing in the room. The injured seed to be receiving treatnt.

After *gururi* checking the faces of all the mbers, 《Stillwater (Shisui)》 continued.

“The Chilldra directly aid at this inn, obviously they were under so kind of manipulation. The fact there were no deaths was just pure luck. If attacks of this magnitude continue, there will undoubtedly be dead people.” (Term)

“…… We can’t afford to miss the Conference…… However, his Majesty…… I do agree with 《Still Water (Shisui)》. If your safety is at risk, the option of continuing is not possible.” (Franz)

Franz-san asked the Emperor in a resolute voice.

I hurriedly raised my hand and interrupted him.

“W-wait a seccc!” (Cry)

“!?” (Franz)

His Majesty stared at . Franz and even Term were looking at .

Certainly, Term’s opinion was reasonable. As an Imperial Guard, Franz-san’s idea was also a natural decision.

But I have one piece of information that they don’t have. Personally, I would like to go back to the Imperial Capital as they say, but that’s not possible.

The culprit this ti was Sytry. If we were to miss the Conference, it would an that Sytry forcefully canceled an important eting with another country.

And I want to avoid that. Because… Isn’t this what a terrorist does.

Sytry is a good girl. This ti, it was just a small misunderstanding, but usually, she isn’t the kind of girl who would create trouble like this. If I told her, she would never do it again.

As I held back my *kirikiri* aching stomach, I said in a badass manner.

“We shouldn’t miss it. If we miss the Conference due to this case, it would an admitting your defeat to the terrorists who sent the Dragon at us. We should proceed as planned. A swarm of Chilldra is just like a light jab. As you can see, there were no deaths, and in my opinion, our strength is sufficient. However, if you insist on missing it…… It is unfortunate, but I will follow the client’s decision.” (Cry)

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Kruz was cute when she called Cry, “Usotsuki Ningen” (>.
