20 – 20. Birthday Party (6)

Is it because of the Sword Aura wave?

The smoke curtain gradually began to fade.

I quickly picked up Allen’s sword and Bashu’s spear.

And first, I approached Allen, who had collapsed next to the huge crack.

“Ugh… .”

Allen muttered to himself as if he had resigned himself.

Due to the overwhelming difference, his madness has long since disappeared.

Mangnani’s disease was also completely cured.

“What does it mean to cover it up…” .”

Quaaa!!

The moment the guy was muttering.

I slammed the spear I was holding onto the floor.

Allen thought the spear would pierce him.

However, the bar of the batshu only gets stuck at the starting point of my sword attack.

“What, what? What trick are you planning again? .”

Allen looked up at me with an expression of incomprehension.

However, I didn’t say anything to him.

He just heads towards Basshu with his dual swords in hand.

The divinity of the East clutching his own two legs.

I stood in front of him and raised my sword.

“Did you use paralyzing poison? Cowardly child… .”

The moment the guy chatters his molars.

I swung my sword resolutely.

―――!!

Allen’s sword hit the stage floor.

Thanks to this, it broke into pieces and scattered around Bashu.

“It’s not poison, so just shut up.”

I calmly walked behind Bashu’s back.

Then, they made a square with their fingers and checked the angle at which the two people would appear to the audience.

“Okay, everyone has a good original version, so the pictures are pretty.”

The drivers look at me with an expression of incomprehension.

I responded to them with a wide smile.

“Wait comfortably.”

After the setup was over, I slowly stepped back.

And then he speaks while hiding in the dark shadows of the stage.

“I will make you the strongest in the empire.”

After I said one word, the smoke curtain completely rolled down.

Thanks to this, the stage is clearly visible to everyone.

―――.

Two fallen heroes.

And the ruined battlefield.

The eyes of the VIPs and royal family widen at the sight.

They all immediately gape in disbelief.

“The stage collapsed… ?”

“What on earth happened inside?”

Gentlemen hiding behind an upside down table.

They stand up and look at the stage.

The stage was cracked as if there had been an earthquake.

An oriental spear firmly embedded in a crack.

Irina’s knight, Allen, has collapsed underneath him.

He was breathing heavily and had a decadent expression.

Is it because he has a pretty handsome face?

The ladies who saw Allen stared at him, even though he was a fool.

In their eyes, Allen looked like a blond beast who did his best in sparring.

However, there was something else that was more important.

A ruined stage.

A huge spear stuck at the starting point of the crack.

“Bah, it’s Basshu! “Bashu’s spear is what made the stage like that!”

The Imperial Chancellor, who was hiding behind the table, shouted.

He pointed to the window with his finger, drawing everyone’s attention.

“Is it really the divinity of the East? “I never thought you would hide that kind of power!”

“With that level of power, isn’t it almost comparable to the Sword Master?”

The gentlemen admired the collapsed stage thanks to the Prime Minister’s words.

However, he shook his head, saying that there was something else that was important.

“The most surprising thing now is not just its power!”

The Prime Minister turned his head with eyes full of admiration.

And then I looked at Basshu, who was sitting solemnly on his knees.

“A curtain of smoke unfolded a little while ago. “That’s the barrier Batshu used to protect us before he used his technique!”

Bashu, who frequently raised dust when fighting Allen.

Thanks to this, the VIPs were convinced that he had also created the smoke curtain.

“Oh oh… .”

“Not only do you have skills, but you also have chivalry… “Princess Lydia has raised a truly wonderful knight!”

The Prime Minister gave a standing ovation as if he was thrilled.

The distinguished guests who were influenced by his words also stood up accordingly.

And they all look up at the imperial stone and begin to applaud.

Lydia looked puzzled by the applause.

“Hmm-?”

The extra teeth stuck out like a cat swooning.

As if I was lost in an unexpected situation.

“You are truly wonderful, Her Highness!”

Repeated baptism of praise.

In the end, she put her hands on her waist and smiled cheerfully.

“Yes, yes! This is the power of our Eastern Knights. “Did everyone see it well?”

Irina, who had followed him down, also looked at the 3rd princess with uncertainty.

However, soon she also had the same expression as Lydia.

“Her Highness Irina is really amazing too.”

Because now it was her turn.

At the Prime Minister’s words, the VIPs all look at the second princess.

Irina asked, pointing at herself with her finger at the suddenly changed target.

“Yes…? Me too, mister?”

“That’s right, you rehabilitated that bastard so that he can fight on equal footing with Bashu.”

The Prime Minister even began to whimper from the overflowing joy.

“I was worried because I heard you had a knighthood, but I never thought you would prepare so well… .”

He received a handkerchief from his wife who joined him.

“I’m sure His Majesty, the late Emperor, will be very proud… !”

The gentlemen’s expressions all become touched by his touching words.

They started applauding Irina even louder.

“ah… Mo, thank you everyone. But, I didn’t do anything. “Allen achieved it all on his own.”

Irina said, clearing her voice as if she was embarrassed.

“I can’t believe there are two such promising knights in the empire! This old lady can now close her eyes without worry.”

The Prime Minister, Mo Xian, slowly sits down in his seat, moved.

He was originally a founding contributor who had watched His Majesty the late Emperor and his descendants for generations.

I thought that someone who cared for the princesses would react like this first.

Thanks to this, interest in the uninvited guests who invaded Dalian has long since disappeared.

Now all you have to do is join the VIP section as if nothing happened.

I quietly passed by the two knights.

And I was silently trying to go down the stairs.

Allen and Bashu, who had suddenly become the hope of the empire, looked up at me.

I left one warning to them.

“Take care of yourself from now on. Aren’t you the face of a princess?”

The escorts looked stunned, as if they couldn’t understand what I was saying.

I leisurely left the stage, leaving them behind.

―――.

Distinguished guests cheering for Allen and Batsch.

I passed by their table casually.

As if it had nothing to do with the stage.

“Are Irina’s knights better than you think?”

“Yes, seeing as you rehabilitated Allen, I think you are quite sincere.”

The gentlemen exchanged information with each other while holding wine glasses.

This is the moment when her knightly order, which had not received much attention, is mentioned by the upper class.

I quietly closed my eyes, listening to the sound like music.

And then I returned to Miya-senpai’s side.

“hey.”

The senior pursed his lips like an animal.

Then, when I returned, he came up to me and tapped my shoulder.

Could it be that you realized that I did it?

Indeed, as a hard worker with solid mana, he also has a sharp eye… .

“Why did you get involved in something you couldn’t stop?”

The senior smiled like a cat.

“Thanks to you, no one got hurt, and we didn’t get scolded.”

Miya brushing the dust off my back.

From noble mtl dot com

It seems like they don’t know what happened inside the tent.

“But it’s better not to mess with angry seniors. Next time, just ask for support.”

“Yes, if there is a Jeon Seo-gu that asks for support.”

However, that won’t happen.

Because there is no Jeonseo-gu to be given to new Subangsa recruits.

In the end, something will happen first and you will have a hard time trying to resolve it.

So, maybe I don’t want to leave the office?

I smiled and sat down at the table.

However, thanks to the two damn knights’ antics, there was nothing left on the table.

In the end, I couldn’t eat anything and could only stare at the peanuts that had fallen on the floor.

I’ve long since forgotten about the sparring from before.

I was more concerned about whether or not to pick up the peanuts that Lydia had grown with so much care.

However, the worries soon faded away.

Because someone’s black shadow was cast over my head.

“Lord Veil Mikhail?”

A profound voice.

This is the secretary who gave me a gift from the 3rd princess a few days ago.

“See you again.”

The secretary with a gentle smile.

I shook his hand.

“The princesses are calling for a moment.”

Miya, who had been downcast at the mention of princess, raised her head.

And then he whispers to me as if he is watching me.

“What, why are you suddenly calling me?”

“well.”

I wonder if they noticed that they broke into Dalian.

“I’ll go and come back first.”

He wore a uniform jacket.

And I hid my shirt covered in dust.

“Is it okay if I go alone?”

Misha looked at me with a worried expression.

I asked her vaguely.

“Well, if the intrusion into Dalian was the problem, wouldn’t it be the same as being kicked out of the banquet?”

Even though I stopped the princesses from sparring, from my perspective, I was only fulfilling my duty as a defense officer.

The only punishment I should receive would be getting kicked out of the party.

“Yes, are you really going to question me about what I did as a defense engineer?”

It worked out better.

Now, let’s get out of this uncomfortable place quickly.

And then I just sleep on the office sofa.

Thinking like that, I raised the corners of my mouth.

“Why are you smiling when I’m going to scold you?”

The senior looked at me with strange eyes.

“It’s funny. “It’s so scary and sad that it makes me laugh.”

I frowned and made a depressed expression.

Then, Miya still looked at me with a serious expression.

Then he takes a deep breath and speaks to me.

“I’ll go with you.”

The senior got up from his seat.

And the tight dress stands out.

“It’s less scary to go together than alone, right?”

“Huh? No. It’s my own opinion, so how can I get help from my senior?”

“It’s okay, I grew up making mistakes in the past too.”

She confidently tells him to trust only her.

“My seniors helped me every time, so I should do the same.”

No, it’s really okay.

I desperately wanted to explain the reason to her.

However, she has already taken the lead for a long time.

I had no choice but to follow my senior.

While climbing the stairs together.

Before leaving, I looked down at the noisy VIP area on the first floor.

Then I made eye contact with the Prime Minister who was toasting me.

He raised his glass to me with a smile.

Like asking to have a drink together later.
