Chapter 175.2

Chapter 175.2 \n<h1>Chapter 175 Departure</h1>\n\n“Hihihihihihi………… Hih, hih, hih…………” (Kechakchakka)

“Yowaningennn! Don’t leave me in the middle of these people, desu!” (Kruz)

“Kil, kil……” (Knilknight Version Alpha)

　Will we really be okay?　As soon as I returned, I was filled with anxiety, and the only sane man nearby let out a chuckle.

“Fumu…… I would have never thought I would see such members as the Emperor’s escort, seems like your Alias isn’t just for show. Let’s see the skills of the youngest person to ever reach Level 8 up close.” (Term)

　It was a tall old man. His gray hair was pulled back in an all-back hairstyle, and although his demeanor was calm, there was a sharp glint in his eyes.　He did not have a staff, but his wrists were fitted with bangles with deep azure blue jewels.

　Basically, magic power, unlike physical ability, does not decline with age. Therefore, “Magi (Madoushi)” tend to become more powerful in proportion to their age.

　Which meant《Still Water (Shisui)》, Term Apokris was a man who lived up to his Level 7 Alias.

　Member of one of the most famous Clans of Magi in the Imperial Capital that has existed since a long time ago, 《Hidden Curse (Ma Tsue)》.\n

　The most famous of that Clan is 《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》, but Term Apokris is the second most known Magi.

　Rumor has it that he was the rival of 《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》. It is said that they once fought over who would become the Clan Master of 《Hidden Curse (Ma Tsue)》.　However, his demeanor was so calm that you couldn’t believe it was true. If I were in the position to choose the Clan Master of 《Hidden Curse (Ma Tsue)》, I would have picked him over that “Baa-san (Grandma)”.

“I am sorry for calling you so suddenly. I absolutely needed your help……” (Cry)

　Term stopped me with his hand as I was once again using my flattering technique.

“I don’t mind, it was Rose’s order. Besides, you are the Leader this time, you shouldn’t bow your head so easily.” (Term)

“Kekekekeke………” (Kechakchakka)

“Kiru? Kil? KILL?” (Kilknight Version Alpha)

　Well, I guess it doesn’t matter who the Leader is with a Party like this. It is like, if you think you can lead this Party, then just try and give it a shot.

“Yowaningen, get a grip of yourself! Desu! They will take me for an idiot for following your order, desu! Should I be the Leader instead of you, Yowaningen, desu!” (Kruz)

“Eh? Is this really gonna be fine?” (Cry)

“!?” (Kruz)\n　I ignored Kruz, whose face turned red and started ranting, and quickly talk about the escort.　Everyone’s expression didn’t change even when they heard that they were going to be assigned an Iron Horse. Apparently, I was the only one who wasn’t confident in my riding skills.

 

 

　But that’s okay. Because I have my carpet that is more comfortable than a horse. It is a rebellious one but it is good-natured.

 

　The number of people was increasing. I had heard that the number of people had been kept to a minimum, but when it came to moving the Emperor’s, a carriage or two wasn’t apparently enough.　When you sum it up there are a lot of people, from the personal care to the nobles who attended the meeting.　At last, surrounded by his guards, the Emperor appeared. He *chirari* glanced at us and without saying a word, climbed into the sturdy carriage.　There were at least twenty knights guarding him. Such a large group.

　Well, we are all going to die if a volcano erupts anyway.

\n　I think there are other safeties that should have been added first. Is there a rule that says that flight-based Relic shouldn’t be safe to use?

“Ah, Yowaningen――” (Kruz)

　In the blink of an eye, I overtook Kruz who was riding ahead, overtook the carriages, and left behind me screams and angry voices.

 

　This speed… Feels so great.

 

　It would have been even better if I could control it.

 

　And then, at a tremendous speed, I plunged into the city gate head first and died once before the journey even began.
