17-1: Meeting of the Shiga Eight Sword
After returning from the tea party, I heard about the condition of Miss Karina from Tiane…
It seemed like Lina's consolation worked, and she was going to attend the dance while still being terrifying…
"What did you tell him…?"
"Fufuhn, you want to hear it…?"
"But I'm not going to tell you. That's r-a-h-a-s-i-a…"
Even if you call it a secret, I already know what you're doing…
After waving her finger, “chichichi”, in front of her face, Lina winked…
Her attitude was a little annoying, but since it was thanks to her that Miss Karina was going to attend the dance, I would forgive her by just pulling her cheeks…
"Make dance to me…?"
"Ciel also wanted Master to see the results of Ciel's special training…"
"Nn, dancing…"
The army of girls asked me to be their dancing partner with a glittering face, but I can't do it now…
"I'm really sorry, I have to go with Lina and Tiane now…"
I feel a little guilty for seeing the sad children, but since tomorrow I will spare until afternoon, I promise to accompany them as much as they want…
Since Tiane said some unnecessary comments, this time for sure, I pulled his cheek as punishment…
I will keep my promise…
Really…!
"Secilia, preparation is done…"
"Un, such clothes are also suitable for you guys…"
I commend those who are amazingly dressed in dresses, and escort her like a woman towards the carriage that will go Julberg shi's ministry…
"What the fuck a soldier doesn't carry their own weapon…!"
At the meeting place on the top floor of Julberg shi's mansion that the servant was guiding us, an unknown middle-aged foreign swordsman suddenly mocked me…
"Mom…"
"It's nice to meet you for the first time…"
"I'm Secilia…"
"Hmph, it's impossible for a rookie noble like you to become a Shiga Eight Sword, remember that…!"
No no, I realize that you are angry, but at least do greetings…
Maybe I'll eliminate him forever from this story…
I checked the man who was rampaging himself once again…
He's a high-level warrior at level 42. His age was also 42 according to level, but that was probably a coincidence…
I think he is also a candidate of the Shiga Eight Sword, but his affiliation with Parion Temple, where his origin was also written as the Parion of the Holy Kingdom…
It seems that he was recommended by the temple, and not a holy knight or explorer Mithril…
Equating that, the title was also [Temple Knight]...
But the title in sight was a dangerous title like [Murderer], [Assassin]…
He certainly had a somewhat tense feeling that matched that title…
Adjusting the title, the magic sword also has the effect of Energy Drain and Strength Drain…
I was a little cautious about him due to his highly suspicious origins and information, but he did not seem to be someone related to the demon lord worshiper of the Light of Liberty…
Lina who was standing next to me seemed like she wanted to reprimand as I checked the information, but help came before she could react…
"Jizon dono, stop being disrespectful to the guests I invite…"
"Hmph, you're beaten up all over by something, cause you say things like that…"
The one who mediates is the host, Julberg shi…
However, this middle-aged man named Juzon changed his goal from me to Julberg shi, and provoked him…
He's like a mad dog…
He's been forty, I wish he was a little calmer…
Oops, he gradually began to turn into a mad dog, but only his body was still human…
I wonder if the word, “fuwaku”, does not exist in this world…
"Are you mocking me, boy…"
There was anger at Julberg shi's words…
It seemed like most of the people here were warm-blooded, far from stopping the two, they looked excitedly waiting for what would happen next…
This fucking muscle brain…
Well, since the atmosphere has become a threat, I will follow through…
If the two fight, we won't be able to party with Oumi's beef, avoid me from it…
The chef of this house is renowned as the best meat dish in the Royal Capital, so I don't want to miss this opportunity…
I will improve my skills even further here and present them to our girls…
"Fuhn, if you're a soldier, faster mana than words…"
Using my speed, I approached the middle-aged man in a speed beyond space and time and held back the person who was about to draw his sword along with his words, and held the sword hilt with my palm open…
The two looked at each other, so it should not be seen…
They will probably interpret it as a Flickering Movement or something along it…
However it was purely my speed, without any skill or magic help…
And they didn't notice me who was there a few minutes ago…
The middle-aged man was still trying to draw the sword without caring about me, but I pressed it with an incredible STR difference…
"It's a place for fun chats, you know…"
"We can have a side gig after a meal, understand…?"
The middle-aged man desperately tried to pull the sword, exerting his strength until his face turned red, but the sword hilt did not move at all…
"That's a good idea…"
The middle-aged man looked like he had given up trying to pull the sword and then relaxed himself…
Although my Crisis Perception was off, I stopped the middle-aged man who was trying to pull the short sword behind his body by stopping his other elbow…
That was obvious…
"Did I pass the exam with this…?"
I asked with a smile at the middle-aged man who moaned “gununu”…
Although I have said the exam as a joke with a lot of effort, the middle-aged man kicked my leg…
There's a knife hidden at the end of his shoe…
His movements were very slow like he was frozen or not moving at all…
I expected it because I often faced surprise attacks from monsters that I saw for the first time, I trampled the middle-aged man's toes onto the ground, preventing the attacks…
I held back, but I felt a cracking sensation from the soles of my feet…
The backbone of his leg may be broken…
"The body of an explorer is a weapon as you can see…"
"Do you understand…?"
While weakening the strength in the place where I stepped on his foot, I smiled at him…
"I'll make you fight me after dinner…"
"Sounds fun…"
I didn't make any promises…
I think 'the quarrel' is heading in the other direction…
Yep, it was a fight in bed…
After dinner, I will leave it to the other candidates or Julberg shi to become the maniacal partner of this fight…
There was a bit of a problem, but this shouldn't be enough to cancel dinner…
I'm glad that Julberg shi is someone kind…
Looks like we were the last ones to arrive at the rendezvous…
At the meeting place, there were five people from the Shiga Eight Sword and its candidates: the three holy knight, Jeril the explorer of Mithril and lastly, the middle-aged man before…
For some reason everyone is armed…
I tried confirming to Julberg shi if we were really going to have dinner, but there was no mistake about that…
I'm relieved that it's not a battle tournament or something…
I'm afraid this will be the tournament for the selection of the Shiga Eight Sword…
We sat in our chairs for dinner, everyone other than us was wearing armor, subtly inviting a funny laugh…
Moreover, thanks to Julberg shi's consideration, he made the middle-aged man from before sit away from us…
I thought the first one would be the Hors D'oeuvre, but the meat dish entered the dinner from the beginning…
It seems that each part will be cooked and taken in turns…
"It's delicious…"
"I felt it was too tender, but this rich taste was a bit different from other meats…"
Lina and Tiane spoke with his impression in a loud voice…
"Even more than the meat, this sauce is amazing. Julberg shi hired some good chefs…"
Jeril sitting in front of us expressed his impression on Sir Julberg…
On the other hand, the other members simply said “enak”, and concentrated on eating the dish quietly…
Half of the people here are of noble descent, however, the beef flavor of the royal farm might be special…
I also enjoyed the Oumi beef menu…
The roasting calculation is great, but analyzing the sauce while cooking is difficult…
However, my Crisis Perception was active as if pouring cold water on this beautiful dinner…
I thought it came from a middle-aged man, but unexpectedly, it came from above diagonally…
This room is upstairs, so I wonder if it's from the roof…?
At the same time as that, several points of light that were rapidly approaching here were detected…
Looking at the speed of motion, they would arrive in about 10 seconds…
Judging from their trajectory and speed, they must have been flying…
I chose the light point and opened the information window…
The one approaching was the five flying monsters…
They were all Tamed monsters, but the people aboard had Light of Liberty affiliations…
Judging from their movements and Crisis Perception, this mansion seemed to be his goal…
Their methods are rather powerful, but I wonder if they came to eliminate the Shiga Eight Sword and the candidates who were a hindrance to their plans…?
Or perhaps, since the operating headquarters of the Light of Liberty were in the Parion of the Holy Kingdom, they might have had a grudge against the middle-aged man from the start and we were involved in it…
He seemed to be the type that made many enemies…
Putting that aside, the monsters that came here were level 20s and above, so even though there were five of them, this would end in an instant with the people here…
Five seconds until they come…
"Something is coming…!"
Before I could speak, Heim shi of Shiga Eight Sword spoke urgently
He might have a Crisis Perception skill as well…
Hearing the warning, the soldiers pulled out their own weapons…
Lina who had no weapon held the silver knife she used at dinner last night and was on standby…
While Tiane, he also prepared without using any weapons…
However, what did the anti-air defense of the Royal Capital…
I wonder if it only serves to stop the monsters trying to penetrate the outer wall…?
Arrival time, 0 seconds…
Huh…?
They didn't come…?
When I saw the movement of the light spots detected on the radar, they passed through this mansion and made a lever in the sky…
Hyuru hyuru, so the sound of wind gusts…
Shit, bombs, yeah…
"Lina, up…"
"Magic Edge Cannon, maximal…"
"Understand…"
Lina moved without delay from my orders…
Perhaps due to the rush of adrenaline, I saw the surroundings in silent motion…
Julberg shi and Bauen shi the katana user, took their weapons in their hands and were wary of anything outside the roof…
Heim shi who gave the previous warning and Miss Ryouna the scythe user, was currently kicking the door and heading to the balcony…
The old holy knight who went to the capital Duchy with the third prince put a Shield on his arm…
As expected of the Shiga Eight Sword, they quickly acted…
It seemed that the three holy knights still could not keep up with the situation, they were currently observing the surroundings while standing up…
On the other hand, Jeril the explorer who was used to emergency situations calmly drank some magic medicine…
The drug has the effect of acceleration and physical reinforcement…
Magic medicine is expensive, but your life is more important…
And lastly, the middle-aged man looked strange…
He had drawn his sword, but for some reason his line of sight wandered around the interior of the room…
It was like a killer was after him in the room…
The thought came to a halt with a clashing sound between the heavy objects outside the roof…
Lina shot out red light spheres in her hands almost at the same time as a rock ball thrown by a tamed monster smashed the roof…
Magic Edge Cannon crushing rock ball together with roof…
The convergence was a little worse since he used the silver knife, but the Magic Edge Cannon scattered the red light, illuminating the room in red…
Thus, a long night of assault at the end of the year on the Royal Capital began…
