171.Is What You Are Doing Now a Funeral? (5)
“Production.”
Did I not think of this one variable? The gold, which had been increasing little by little, stuck together in an instant.
It was as if time had been rewound, but no one other than me would have noticed.
Because it was a very small change visually.
“…John. What’s going on?”
“… There was a crack in the floor where Karina was sitting.”
“…What?”
I immediately grabbed Lennie’s shoulder as he tried to move. If it had been a little late, the congratulatory speech would have been forced to stop and the atmosphere would have become chaotic. But I have already blocked the possibility of collapse in advance.
All we have to do is stand there as if nothing happened.
“It’s been fixed, so don’t worry. And calm down. People around you will look at you strangely.”
“No, it was an assassination attempt…”
“First. Calm down. “You must not forget to remain calm.”
“…Sorry. “I was so excited.”
“Many warriors gathered here again this year… “
First of all, the first assassination attempt was prevented.
What is the second?
I turned my gaze away from Karina, who was reciting the congratulatory speech she had worked so hard to prepare, and looked around the audience. This was to make sure that no one showed any suspicious reactions.
As a result, I could see the people listening to Karina’s congratulatory speech in detail.
The old man held her hands tightly and closed his eyes.
A young man who just stares blankly at Karina.
A child looking at Karina with eyes full of longing.
Although it was quite a distance away, I could read their facial expressions without any problem.
…But I don’t see the hooded b*stard.
Well, I don’t think there’s a big guy walking around wearing a hood that stands out even from the inside. If you show up like that, you’re either crazy, or you can commit assassination if there are no witnesses.
For now, let’s assume that the hooded guy is neither one nor the other. He’s worried about where he went, but since he told the security guard, the investigators will be looking for him on their own. I should only focus on preventing assassination attempts that come up right now.
If you focus on other things and can’t stop it, you’re telling the truth.
“Please show us the dance of… Then, I will end my congratulatory speech by wishing everyone safety.”
Is the congratulatory speech finally over?
I quietly walked next to Karina, who was sighing in relief as people cheered on her, and whispered.
“Good job.”
“…Thank you.”
“Karina. “You’re doing well, aren’t you?”
Leni naturally grabbed the handle of the wheelchair and pulled it back. When she looked at the spot where the wheelchair had been, she noticed a very small amount of incontinence.
It seems that it was a deliberate design mistake from the beginning, so it would have been impossible to completely repair it. In the end, it’s a method of using materials that I also have skills in.
“Hey, security. “I have a story to tell.”
“What’s going on?”
The security guard asked me with a serious expression. It’s not that serious.
“The floor where the saint was sitting was intentionally made weak. “Contact the Architect’s Guild and tell them to give me the person in charge of this area.”
“Okay.”
The unknown guard I caught left the fighting area right away. It’s good to hear what you said.
“I will first go to where Karina will be sitting and check on her condition.
“Okay.”
I immediately checked the area around Karina’s VIP seat. After checking to see if anything was hidden in the chair and the condition of the floor, I ignored the stares of the people around me and spoke to Karina and Leni who approached me.
“There is no problem.”
“Thank goodness.”
“Yes? What happened… ?”
I explained the whole story to Karina’s cute face filled with confusion. The floor where they sat to recite the congratulatory speech was poorly constructed. It was fixed with skill.
They said they checked to see if there might be a similar problem in the VIP seats.
And when I assured her that it was safe, Karina let out a sigh of relief.
“So something like that happened…”
“You don’t have to worry. Because it’s our job.”
“That’s right. “You have to stay here for about an hour anyway, so sit down and get some rest.”
“Thank you.”
“You don’t have to be grateful. Because it’s something that has to be done.”
“Are you embarrassed?”
“…No.”
“Hehe. “I understand that.”
Karina stuck out her tongue playfully. Her her tongue her her her was as lovely as her her beautiful her appearance her her her.
Oh, no. Come to your senses. You stupid b*stard.
The VIPs are looking at me with curious eyes. It is not my intention to stand out. I quietly took a few steps away from Karina and held her in a solemn pose like any of her other escorts.
Write. I want to see how active Lewis is, but I can’t see it well from here.
I tried my best to hide my regret and looked straight ahead.
—————-
“It’s not as good as the food served by the imperial palace chef.”
Pay attention 1 Prince.
I could barely resist the urge to touch my forehead as I watched the 1st prince begin to brag about the palace.
Do you have no fucking clue? The Academy Restaurant chef’s face became thoughtful. I can see at a glance that he is worried that he might get his head cut off if he does that. Since he is the first prince of the most powerful nation on the continent, there is no reason to worry about others.
…That’s why you get killed.
“Still, it is a dish made with great care.”
“Oh, of course I do. But it’s a bit disappointing. A festival like this requires appropriate food…”
Seeing the first prince not even paying attention to her no matter how much Karina tried to notice her, the desire to hit him arose again.
I have to beat him up once before I get killed.
In the end, the 1st Prince’s irritating speech, which no one could stop, gained momentum and ran towards the end.
“…Saint, you are a noble being. Is such a being accompanied by only two bodyguards? It wouldn’t be strange to have a knight corps with you… And it would be better to be protected by an imperial knight rather than such a poor guard knight.”
In just a little while, you will have a son or daughter that you never had before.
“Thank you for your words, but this is enough for me.”
“You underestimate your worth.”
…How can they brainwash assassins so they can’t assassinate that guy?
I think it would be possible to brainwash him with Lue and catch the assassination angle.
“…It’s almost time. “I will leave first, Your Highness Luke.”
“It’s a shame we can’t talk more… If you don’t mind, I’ll have a cup of tea before I go back… “
“Unfortunately, there is a lot of work to do.”
Karina cut her off firmly, as if she couldn’t listen anymore. 1 The prince then closed his mouth that had been spitting out a lot of her TMI with a look of regret on his face.
1 The prince is a Too Much Talker. The future of this country is truly dark.
Anyway, we left the cafeteria and headed to the liberal arts classroom first. My plan for the day was to go to all the faculties’ event venues and give congratulatory speeches, so the faster I move, the more time I will have to rest in the evening.
“Once you stop by the Liberal Arts Department event hall, the Magic Department, the Alchemy Department, and finally the Theology Department, you’re done.”
“There are many places to go.”
“But if you recite a congratulatory speech, it’s over. Tomorrow, we will walk around and watch the festival and pray in commemoration of the holiday at the theological department. After that, we will watch a play at night and have a campfire ceremony. The last day is all about the finals of the martial arts competition and the closing ceremony speech in the morning.”
“It seems like a little, but it’s a lot.”
When I listened again, I realized that it was a tight schedule. I’m already not in good shape, but I have to keep up with this schedule. Don’t these people know that Karina is sick?
“This too has been reduced to the extent of reduction. Karina, she’s not in great shape… “
“The Feast of Saint Sabrina is such a precious day that it is not an event I can easily miss just because I am sick. I know you feel so worried, but you still have to do it. “It’s my first task as a saint.”
“…Is it. Still, if you feel unwell, tell me or Leni right away.”
“Okay.”
How nice it would be to be able to chat peacefully like this. Unfortunately, we had to go with Karina to one of the largest lecture halls in the Faculty of Liberal Arts.
There, I had to recite a congratulatory speech commemorating the event prepared by the Department of Liberal Arts.
“I don’t know if Millia is doing well.”
“Milia will do well.”
Maybe it’s because she’s a bit of a brat, but she seemed to be living well on her own. Just a few days ago, I went out to play with her friends.
He may be the person with the strongest personality among the people in our Yeomyeong Hall.
As I walked aimlessly with that in mind, I began to see a rather familiar door. There were some pretty ornate decorations around the door, as well as a bright red arrow.
…What is it?
It’s different from what I knew.
There was definitely nothing like that in the game.
What on earth happened?
“John?”
“What’s wrong?”
“No, I was a little confused… What was the liberal arts department supposed to do?”
I needed someone to explain this embarrassing situation.
“I heard they’re doing something new this year… Other than a poetry reading like they do every year.”
“They’re running a cafe or something…”
“Welcome, master!”
… Oh my god.
I looked at Milia, who was smiling brightly while wearing a somewhat familiar maid uniform. Milia spoke differently than usual, pointing to her door with both hands.
“Ka…No, saint! And the escort driver! “I’ll guide you!”
“…I think it’s the wrong genre.”
My lament-filled murmurs dispersed into the air.
