Chapter 164 White Sword Gathering 4?

Part 1

“Cry-san...... W-What was all that about?” (Eva)

“............ Eh? Yeaaah, it was good that I was saved, really good.” (Cry)

While being careful not to draw too much attention to ourselves, I get closer to the Clan Master.

When Eva asked strongly with her face fully red due to the blood rushing to her head, Cry Andrich raised his hands and smiled, as if he were raising a white flag.

Eva protested at his smile with just a glance. However, Cry looked as if he hadn’t made a mistake.

Recently (from Eva’s point of view) he has been quiet, but this was ―― The true nature of the Level 8 called 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》, which really troubles Eva.

It was probably true. To this man, this was probably not a mistake. There was no one who doesn’t know the name and face of Zebrudia’s Princess, so it can’t be a mistake. And of course, no matter how many people around him pressured him, he would not mind it.

However, as his companion and Vice-Master of the same Clan, Eva could not just let it slide.

There was nothing Eva could have done. There wasn’t even time to stop him.

If éclair Gladys hadn’t covered for us, we would have been thrown out.

It was unheard of for someone to be kicked out of the Gathering before it even started. And on top of that, I have never heard of anyone giving a gift to the Princess.

After all, him being nervous was absolutely a lie.

All eyes were on us. It was impossible for Eva to *nikoniko* smile in the midst of the stares. Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

It had been a tradition since the first Gathering to have the Emperor’s daughter dress up as a maid at the 『White Sword Gathering』.

At the first 『White Sword Gathering』, the Time Emperor had his daughter disguise herself as a servant and blend with the other servants as part of a test to see the Hunter’s quality.

It was said that one of the guests, Solis Rodin, a Hunter, immediately recognized her and was so polite to the Princess that the Emperor was deeply impressed by his behavior.

This story was a famous anecdote in the Imperial Capital.

Nowadays, the disguises of the Princesses have become smoke and mirrors and they only change her clothes, but there is an unspoken agreement.

Right now, the princess was both an Imperial Princess and one of the servants. However, you could say whatever you want, she was still an Imperial Princess. If he just gave her a souvenir it would still be fine, but saying 『Let’s give a souvenir to this “young lady (Ojou-san)” who has been working so hard』 is nothing but disrespectful.

Only noblemen were here. Who knows what to expect if they saw that thing.

I admit that threats are sometimes useful in negotiations, but they were not something you should do to a child who wasn’t old enough yet.

“Cry-san, you are going way too far.” (Eva)

“Eh...... I am not doing anything though. ............ You don’t want it?” (Cry)

Cry had a wondering look on his face.

Every time Eva sees his helplessly relaxed expression on his face, she once again learns that she is still not strong enough.

“I don’t want it! I don’t want it! Do whatever you want with it! I-I am busy, so, so don’t bother me anymore! And don’t make a scene!” (éclair)

“Ah...............” (Cry)

éclair forcefully made her point and strode away.

My partner saw her off with a dumbfounded look on his face, and when he saw Eva, he said in a troubled tone.

“I didn’t mean to cause a scene, right, Eva?” (Cry)

“............ R-Right.” (Eva)

All the noblemen, all the special guests and members from various institutions and successful merchants were all thinking about how to attack 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 the newcomer who stood out too much.

Feeling countless eyes on her, Eva straightened her back.

A sense of mission emerged from me.

I...... Have to do something about it. I have to calm down the situation before Cry-san makes an enemy out of everyone here.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Eva’s point of view, nice! So the event of volume 1 to 4 was him being calm O.o

I wonder what Eva lives through because of his misunderstanding!

Ganbatte Eva!

Tchao à plus!
