Chapter 165 White Sword Gathering 5?

Part 1

“Cry-san...... What are you going to do about her?” (Eva)

“Yeah, since way back, she always wanted to follow me everywhere.” (Cry)

“!? T-This isn’t the problem here, and I don’t think that’s the point.” (Eva)

Even if you say that it isn’t my fault if she followed me. It was not like I told her to come with me, and she isn’t a child anymore, so she will figure something out on her own. The only thing I can do is...... To help her if she gets found out.

Just in case, I checked if no other members came, but I couldn’t see any of my friends except for Sytry. Anthem was huge and conspicuous, and although it wasn’t like there was no way to make him smaller, he was still easily recognizable, so he probably didn’t come to the party. Lucia didn’t seem to be here either. As expected even I won’t get my “Imouto (Sister’s)” face wrong.

Ah, I found Gark-san. As usual, he doesn’t look good in a suit......

Eva didn’t seem to care, but my tension was fading a little bit.

The Emperor seemed to be very popular. He was surrounded by Nobles and Hunters and showed no signs of looking at us.

Most of the people were probably just there to socialize, and most of them hadn’t touched the food, even if the tables were crammed with high-class-looking dishes. Time seems to fly by when you’re only eating and drinking.

Maybe because Eva noticed that I was looking at the Emperor, she asked me in a whisper.

“When will you go and greet His Majesty?” (Eva)

“Eh? I don’t plan to do that though.” (Cry)

“!? Y-You can’t do that! What are you thinking?” (Eva) CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

“All right, all right. I will go later.” (Cry)

The Emperor was still surrounded by everyone. I can see Ark chatting with a cheerful smile on his face. If I were to line up with them, I would look like a spot on a blank sheet.

After all, a man who is confident in himself is different. His appearance is truly worthy of a hero. I want to follow his example.

While having a banter with Eva, I tasted each of the expensive alcohol in turn without really knowing what it was.

And then, at the moment when I took one of the glasses, I opened my eyes widely.

I don’t know the brand, but it was a glass of red wine. I *kyorokyoro* looked around and approached the nearest table. Maybe because she sensed me approaching, a brown arm appeared, so I gave her the glass and took the empty one.

...... I wonder how Liz moves around.

“What is wrong?” (Eva)

“Well...... It is just that there was something mixed in it.” (Cry)

“...... Eh?” (Eva)

“They were testing the Hunters’ strength, probably. It happens all the time.” (Cry)

“Ah-Aaaah......” (Eva)

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Ignoring the Emperor in a meeting organized by the Emperor, Cry really is crazy!

And poisonous dishes! Did Cry just uncover an assassination conspiracy!

What will he do?!

Tchao à plus!
