Chapter 195 Best Companions
Part 2
That is why all I can do is try to ease their anxiety.
“This is...... Very unlucky for us.” (Cry)
“!? As if this is possible! There is obviously something going on! When you look at this scene, don’t you think of anything!?” (Franz)
“C-Calm down, it is just a storm, you know. It happens all the time, you know.” (Cry)
“As ifffffffff!” (Franz)
Franz-san shouted with a red face and with spit flying everywhere.
Even if you said that to me...... That is troubling. I don’t know what I don’t know, and things that happen all the time are things that happen all the time. When I go back, I will prepare the carpet just in case......
Since panicking won’t help, I decided to go badass.
At least if you are going to call someone, you should call Term, the water expert, not me.
If it was Term, maybe he could make the storm disappear with his Magic, but why do both Franz-san and Gark-san call me whenever something happens?
They picked the wrong guy. My eyes are as bad as Luke and the others as they made me their Leader.
“You can’t be a Hunter if you’re jumpy from one strange storm. Don’t worry, this ship won’t fall, right?” (Cry)
“Kuh......” (Franz)
Franz-san clenched his teeth and was silent for a moment. I can hear his *fuufuu* raspy breathing.
He said he was a nobleman, but he had a good physique and a scary face. Looking at him like this, he looks much more like a Hunter than I do.
After catching his breath, Franz-san said in a stifled voice.
“I...... I apologize, Cry Andrich! I didn’t take your advice! However, right now, His Majesty’s safety is the top priority! What is, what is happening? What should we do?” (Franz)
These words sent the knights of the Imperial Guard into a frenzy. Of course, I was also astonished.
The expression on Franz-san’s face was not that of someone who was apologizing, but still, it is not easy for a nobleman to admit his fault.
But unfortunately, I don’t know the cause or the solution to the situation. I can’t give out information that I don’t know, even if they bow to me or get down on their knees.
The Emperor was staring at me as if to probe me for something.
Just as I was about to open my mouth to make an excuse to buy some time, the door opened.
All eyes went over there. It was Term and Kechakchakka who came in.
What good timing! I knew you guys were the best companions.
“!! Ah, Term, I have been waiting for you. What a good timing.” (Cry)
Term’s eyes widened slightly and smiled as I shouted in delight.
.
“Aaah, I’m sorry I’m late. This ship is too big.” (Term)
There was no pause at all. Before I could comprehend the meaning of Term’s words, I heard a series of heavy things crashing down.
Almost in reflex, I turned around to look. The knights and servants who had been around the Emperor were lying on the floor, unable to make a single groan.
Franz-san was the only one who remained conscious, but he was shaking his head with his knees on the floor.
For some reason, Kruz, who was safe, opened her eyes and looked left and right in a panic. Franz’s expression was dumbfounded. He doesn’t seem to understand what was going on...... I don’t understand either though.
Almost everyone in the room had collapsed. The servants and the knights.
The only ones who were safe were His Majesty the Emperor, the Princess, Kruz, Kilknight, and the two who just walked in.
??? What? What happened? Why did they fall? Eh?
There was no sound. There were no signs. But most importantly, I am safe. There was no sign that the Barrier Rings had been triggered either.
I was so confused that I had stopped thinking and kept the same smile I had on my face when I welcomed Term, and Term made a small sigh and said.
“Yare yare, I didn’t expect the end to be so easy...... I am disappointed. To think there was so few knights on guard and so little resistance. I never cease to be amazed at your prowess, 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》.” (Term)
