Chapter 161.2

Chapter 161.2 \n<h1>Chapter 161 White Sword Gathering ①</h1>\n\n　Not only is he strong, handsome, he also has no problem taking any of his Party Members with him, what a student model. I guess those who have it all are different from me.

　And then, recoiling from turning the gears of my head too much, I let out a big yawn. And I squinted my eyes.

　I am getting tired of thinking about it…… I don’t have much time left before the gathering, and I feel like I should just take anyone who is available.

　It is not that I have an ambition or want to make an appeal, so the gathering will be over in no time if, like a country bumpkin, I read the mood and stay quiet like a country bumpkin.　Right, I have 『Mirage Form (Dancing glow)』. All I have to do is to change my face with it. There seemed to be quite a few noblemen there too, so I could blend in with them. If I am wearing a tuxedo, I won’t have to worry about being recognized thanks to my outfit.

　Today I am…… Brilliant.

 

　As I was *niyaniya* smiling at my nice idea, the door suddenly opened with great momentum.　It was Liz who came in. She had just returned from a long trip and seemed to be as energetic as ever, which was great, but I couldn’t help but widen my eyes at her appearance. Eva also stiffened.

　Contrary to how she was usually, Liz was wearing a bright red dress. It was a dress with a deep slit at the thighs. Her dress had a plumed collar which suited her slender figure perfectly as it tightly stuck to her body. The slit showed a glimpse of her tanned skin, which was indescribably sexy.　However, the only thing that ruined her atmosphere was the 『Highest Roots (Rise to Heaven)』 that covered her legs as usual.

　Spinning around triumphantly on the spot, Liz said a little shyly.\n

“Neee~, does it look good, Cry-chan?” (Liz)

“You look good, but…… What is wrong? Why are you wearing that?” (Cry)

“Ehehe…… You can only take one person with you to the White Sword Gathering, right? I thought I should dress up so I wouldn’t bother Cry-chan~, so I prepared this~.” (Liz)

　…… No? Nononono, you are not good. You look good, but you are the worst pattern if you go there.　Moreover, you are too flashy, and even if no one gets into a fight with you, you are going to look for one, won’t you. Even if your opponent was the Emperor you would fight him, right?

　However…… I mean, you are really all set. We are not going there to play, you know?

　I couldn’t say anything to her as she acted like it was natural that she would be invited.　Un, un, I would be more than happy to take you if it wasn’t a particularly important event, you know……

　Eva was slightly taken aback at Liz who was in an extremely good mood.  No matter how much they say that you are free to wear whatever you want, you can’t wear a bright red dress.　Don’t worry Eva, you don’t have to make a face like that…… I understand. Because I won’t take her with me.

　And there, through the door that Liz had left open, Sytry came in.

　Sytry was wearing a long black dress. Her white skin was bare from her shoulders to her chest, which was refreshing since I had always seen her in a robe (Although we just went to an Onsen). She even wore a not-so-fancy hair ornament in her hair, when she usually didn’t wear any, so I couldn’t help but notice it.

　Sytry frowned at the guest preceding her but smiled only with her mouth when she confirmed her humble appearance. \n　She turned to me and made a pose with a full smile on her face.

 

“What do you think, Cry-san. I made it for the 『White Sword Gathering』. I think it won’t trouble you, Cry-san, if I look like this!” (Sytry)

“…… Haaa? Syt, what the hell do you mean by that?” (Liz)

“Of course, my fighting ability is also fully ready. See…… Even if there is nothing covering my arms ――” (Sytry)

　While having her cheeks dyed in red, she boldly rolled up the hem of her skirt to show it to me. Her thighs were white, with clear blood vessels. Wrapped around her thighs were leather belts with several small bottles of potions set on them.

　Liz, who just casually got provoked into a fight, immediately started to bite back.

“Syt, you can’t handle sudden battles, can you? So stay back~, I am the one going with him~!” (Liz)

“Onee-chan, you don’t know etiquette, do you?” (Sytry)

“Haaa? You don’t need to know etiquette~!” (Liz)

　No, I do think you do need to know……

\n　I rubbed my eyes and made a big yawn.

 

　Ark will be at the venue anyway. If something happens, Ark will take care of it.

 

“Eva, I am sorry, but…… Please get ready. Because you are the one coming with me.” (Cry)

“………… Yes?” (Eva)

　Eva stared in wonder and looked back at me as if she was taken aback.
