Chapter 278.2
Chapter 278.2. Delicious Evil Spirit
“You’re quite the dutiful one, Countess Takano. Very well, I shall forgive you.”
The Emperor chuckled with an amused look. It all seemed quite theatrical.
Mii-chan was an obedient child, waved her hand, and greeted him with an innocent smile.
“It’s been a while, Duchess Ryusui! How have you been? Mii-chan is doing great!”
Grandma Ryusui, who had been watching Mii-chan, smiled, showing a formidable grin as befitting a dragon.
“I’m glad to see you’re well, Countess Takano. Having young ones around makes things lively, doesn’t it?”
“Hehe, thank you! Mii-chan is a first-year middle school student. If anyone gets hurt, I’ll do my best with recovery magic!”
To summarize, Mii-chan didn’t participate in the martial arts tournament because she was a part of the 36 families, so she wasn’t expected to be there. Sena is a member of the Royal Family, so she couldn’t participate to avoid showing favoritism.
Mii-chan couldn’t participate because she was a recovery magician, and apart from the Float Board, she couldn’t use combat magic.
Elizabeth and Ninnty choose the Float Board because their skills were far superior to their regular combat!
We exchanged glances and fired off small firecrackers. Since it was still a light-hearted exchange, firecrackers were sufficient.
“Young Lady, let’s stop with the nonsense.”
“Yes, sir.”
Grandpa Odin glared at me, so I decided to stop teasing. Ouga was sitting quietly without changing his expression, but Uncle Enraku and Kohaku mama were enjoying themselves with faint smiles. Let’s put an end to this little performance.
It seemed he intended to retaliate for his comrades being attacked, as they had used magic items on Mii-chan and her group without warning.
But using magic items without warning was unacceptable. The reasons didn’t matter. Nimue’s actions were correct, and Ranko-san didn’t get angry. Of course, Mii-chan planned to praise her later.
“Then, there’s no reason to blame me, right?”
“Yeah, if you consider the TP-O.”
But Grandpa Odin, dressed in a tattered cloak and a dusty Wizard Hat. So they might need to stop him because he wears something like that.
“Did Mii-chan use recovery magic?”
“Yeah, I healed the people who were just a little injured.”
She healed people who were just a little bit away from dying. Magic Bullets had caused serious internal damage.
“Hmm... Just a little bit, you say.”
For some reason, Sena looked resigned and bewildered, probably because this banquet was troublesome for her. She must be tired.
“Your recovery magic is still extraordinary! You use such powerful magic so casually.”
“Just a little bit, though.”
I only healed the guys who were coughing up blood and starting to convulse a little.
“Anyway, there’s no need to worry about that. Let’s enjoy the food.”
“Yes, uh, yes, Your Majesty.”
After all, it was a banquet hosted by the Emperor before the martial arts tournament. There would be delicious food.
It was a good opportunity to greet everyone from the 36 families. The dishes would probably be quite exotic. Hehehe.
