Chapter 173 Choice ②?
Part 2
…… You are still worried about that even though they turned back to normal…… You should be like me and forget about this. After that, I attended the White Sword Gathering, and somehow got caught up in a poisoning incident, and Luke cut three people! Someone please help me!
In order to meet someone, I went to the Explorer Association.
In the conference room, the head chief of the Emperor’s Imperial Guard and the Zero Knights Order―― was waiting, and he also seemed to be in charge of the Emperor’s escort.
It was a man with a smart look and a red suit. At first glance, he looked slim, but his body was sturdy, and he looked much stronger than me.
Without so much of a greeting, the “Commander (Dancho)” checked my selection list and frowned quizzically.
“This…… What does this mean? Your own Party Member isn’t even in.” (Commander)
“Un, un, that’s right.” (Cry)
“Aside from――The Level 7, Term the 《Stillwater (Shisui)》 and the Magi from 《Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai)》, I have never heard of this Kechakchakka. Moreover, Kilknight Version Alpha? What the hell is he?” (Commander)
I wonder what. I don’t know either, you know.
However, it is a wonderful Dark Pot. Since the average Level was higher than the one of the 【White Wolf’s Den】, it can be said that the achievement of a gorgeous Dark Pot has been achieved. Someone please help me.
I made a grin and stopped him with my hand.
“Relax. This is my idea of the best of the best Party” (Cry)
“Isn’t there three Magi in your group? The team balance is too bad. At the very least, you should have put 《Unchanging and Immovable (Fudo Fuhen)》 in the group! Certainly, I left the selection to you, but I never expected you to make such a messed up choice――” (Commander)
Indeed, if you normally think this through, I should have put Anthem in. It became like this because I was in a weird tension at the middle of the selection.
There is no doubt that it is unbalanced, but I didn’t know that Kechakchakka was a Magi.
You are right, I shouldn’t have invited strangers to join the Emperor’s escorts.
But then, Kruz, who I had brought along as my escort because we were in the same Clan, shouted at us in a dignified voice.
“You are so annoying with your pechak, pechak! Desu! As long as I am participating, there won’t be any problem, you could think that we are sailing on a cruise ship, desu!” (Kruz)
She was talking to the head chef of the Emperor’s Imperial Guard, but there were no reservations in her voice at all.
Kruz Argen. She is a Member of 《Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai)》 and a first-class Magi.
She had long silvery-white hair that reached her feet, and light purple eyes that shone like jewels. Her skin is white porcelain. Her face was so beautiful that it was almost out of ordinary, so those who meet her for the first time may even feel a slight sense of discomfort.
At first glance, she appeared to be a miracle of mankind’s perfection, but only her ears are pointy as proof of her being a 『Spirit People (Noble)』.
『Spirit People (Noble)』 are a high-class race known for their cold beauty and high magical powers. Though few in number, they excel in every kind of ability and were once thought of as angels.
On the other hand, they clearly look down on humans and are rarely seen in human cities. In that sense, 《Starlight (Hoshi no Seirai)》 who worked among humans in the Imperial Capital and Eliza, who wandered around the world, could be said to be oddball.
Her face was bright red and she was *banban* banging on the desk like a child, which combined with her beauty, gave her an indescribably cute appearance.
As I watched her in a relaxed manner, I thought it was a real advantage to be beautiful. Apparently, the “Commander (Dancho)” doesn’t feel like scolding her either. Un, un, that’s right.
“Don’t get me wrong, even if he is the Emperor, this doesn’t matter to me as I am a 『Spirit People (Noble)』! Desu! I’m just helping out because Lapis told me to, that’s all, desu!” (Kruz)
By the way, the reason for her strange honorifics is that because she was originally not used to using honorifics.
The first time I met her, she used a casual tone, and the words she used to address me were just a storm of abuse.
Since Lapis had scolded her to use honorifics since I was the Clan Master, she had been like this ever since.
Apparently, Kruz thought that adding 『Desu』 or 『Masu』 to a sentence would make it respectful.
I said while *niconico* smiling.
“She is in charge of charging my Carpet.” (Cry)
“Haaah!? Don’t get carried away, “Yowaningen (Weak Human)”! Desu! I’m only doing this because Lucia-san asked me to, desu!” (Kruz)
“Un, un, that’s right.” (Cry)
“In the first place, the whole reason we joined Yowaningen’s Clan was because you promised to give us Lucia! Desu! Quickly give her to us now! Desu! How long are you going to drag this out! Desu!” (Kruz)
“Un, un that’s right.” (Cry)
She is as lively as ever. How can you be so loud and not lose your voice?
By the way, I didn’t promise to give you Lucia. The term that Sytry gave when she negotiated with them to join the Clan was the right to scout Lucia.
And since 《Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei)》 was a party that was free to leave, that wasn’t really a viable term for negotiation. In other words, to put it simply, those girls had been cheated. They would never admit that, though.
“This me is going to help you! Desu! Only I am enough for this escort! Desu! Yowaningen is incredibly frail, so don’t follow me! Desu!” (Kruz)
“Eh, really? It is fine for me to not go?” (Cry)
Lucky.
As my eyes widened, she slammed the table harder than ever, stood up, pointed at me, and denounced me.
“Don’t joke with me! Desu! Don’t tell me you’re going to make me work when you won’t? Desu? Go to sleep if you want to sleep talk! Desu! You are still a Level 8, so behave like one! Desu!” (Kruz)
“Easy, easy, let’s calm down. Here, you are thirsty right? Here, I will give you some of my tea.” (Cry)
When I offered her the tea that had been in front of me, Kruz *puripuri* angrily snatched it away.
By the way, Kruz Certification Level is 3. Her skills are good, but she gets into fights with her clients easily.
In order to get along with Spirit People, you need to have an 『Open mind』 like Ark or a 『Lack of pride』 like me.
But maybe I shouldn’t have brought her now.
As the head chef of the Emperor’s Imperial Guard was speechless because of how amazed he was when he looked at Kruz, I added another layer, like a sore loser.
“They are the perfect Members. His Majesty will probably be satisfied too. If you have any problems with my selection, it is fine if you ask someone else to escort you.” (Cry)
TL notes:
Thanks for reading and sorry for the delay!
Cry ultimatum! Of course, now they don’t have the choice but to let the Gorgeous Dark pot live!
And Kruz is the first Tsundere we have in this novel! Moreover she is a elf and loli. She hit every Tsundere stereotype XD
Tchao à plus!
Footnotes
Desu: Kruz end her sentences with desu. Adding desu at the end of a sentence is a little bit more polite than not having.Yowaningen: Literally translated to weak human. That is how Kruz call Cry. ( Like how Luffy called Shirahoshi Yowahoshi)
