Chapter 212.2

Chapter 212.2 \n<h1>Chapter 212 Evaluation</h1>\n

　It has been a while since I heard that name.

　《Torch Knights (Touka Kish-Dan)》 is the party with the most members in 《First Step (Ashiato)》.　The Members of that Party are highly skilled and excel in orderly maneuvering like an army, but they rarely come back to the Imperial Capital because they are always traveling around the world in search of battlefields. Maybe that Party doesn’t even think of the Imperial Capital as their base.

　By the way, 《Torch Knights (Touka Kish-Dan)》 was one of the founding Parties of the Clan, and the reason why such a Party with little reason to join a Clan cooperated with us was because Sytry gave them expensive Potions as a gift.　In other words, it’s money. The Party Leader’s motto is 『Money can buy your life』. The Leader gets along really well with Sytry.

　If 《Torch Knights (Touka Kish-Dan)》 had been around, I could have easily thrown the Emperor’s escort to them……

　However, it was already over. No matter how troublesome a request is, a finished request is a good request. I have got a carpet and a smartphone, so all is well.　When I made a big yawn, I threw my legs up and pulled out my latest smartphone from my pocket.

“By the way, I heard that you succeeded in planting trees in Toizant.” (Eva)

　As always, you are quick to pick information up.

“Aaah, they made a big fuss about it. But I have nothing to do with it though.” (Cry)\n

　Phantoms are really useful when they need to be useful. It was Franz-san who told me, but it seems like Toizant’s chief was too excited to focus on the Conference. 

　However, I pushed through it and insisted that it had nothing to do with me. I don’t know where they heard the rumor, but many people came to thank me, but I sent them back telling them I know nothing about it. I didn’t even accept their gifts. It was the Imouto Kitsune who did it, so you should thank her.

　But I wonder if that can be called tree plantation…… Rumor has it that a forest was created in a day. As if something like that can be called tree plantation!

　Eva’s eyes were *pachipachi* blinking.

“You don’t look happy. Are you concerned with something?” (Eva)

“Well, yeah. Even I have worries. No… I have already done all I can do.” (Cry)

　In hindsight, I feel that it was irresponsible of me to impose the Imouto Kitsune on them. I unintentionally left her with them because her presence was too heavy for me but also because she seemed to understand me, but perhaps I should try to persuade her to return after some point. Now that I have a smartphone, it is easy-peasy to keep in touch with her even from a distance. Eeeasy-peasy.

“If you have any problems, I can try and help you……” (Eva)

“Aaah, I will count on you.” (Cry)

　Oh, after all, it has to be Eva. I will absolutely make sure she comes with me on my next escort. \n　Just as I made up my mind, the door to the room opened.

　It was Sytry who came in, carrying a huge box.

　Come to think of it, I didn’t hear the details of what happened after I asked her to train Her Imperial Princess. It is because everything has been such a mess.　Her Imperial Princess returned safely, and Sytry didn’t say anything, so I guess there was no problem, but I might as well ask her about the training she went through or something in case I am asked to talk about it in the future.

　Sytry came closer and before I could say anything else, her cheeks flushed and she said.

“Please look at this Cry-san~!” (Sytry)

　Ah, her attitude…… So Sytry…… You want me to praise you, right?　All right. I’ll praise you. *Yoshi, yoshi*, ok, ok, good girl, good girl.

　Sytry opened the wooden box with great enthusiasm. Inside the box, there were glass bottles neatly lined up.　I picked up one of the bottles and carefully lifted it. What was inside was a reddish-black liquid. It was not transparent, and at first glance, it looked like blood.

　Those are pretty creepy Potions……. Now, how can I praise her?\nVisit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.

　As I *niconico* smiled and waited for her to explain, Sytry-chan said proudly.

“I know my report is late, but…… Please look at this Cry-san!” (Sytry)

“*Yoshi, yoshi* Ok, ok. As expected of Sytry. Good girl, good girl.” (Cry)

“It is Her Imperial Princess Murina’s blood and as promised, I got so much from her blood test.” (Sytry)

　???????

　I took another look at the large number of glass bottles and at Sytry who was making a big smile. Now that I think of it, Her Imperial Princess Murina…… Had been quite *furafura* unsteady on her feet.　Obviously, the number of bottles was unusual. Even if you drained all the blood from a single human being, it would not amount to this much. On top of that, Her Imperial Princess Murina is a small woman.

　I looked at Eva.

“Eva, it might be sudden, but can I talk to you about my worries?” (Cry)

“……………… I am sorry, I am feeling a little under the weather…… I will leave you alone.” (Eva)

“It’s royal blood you see, and it’s been preserved in perfection, it’s almost impossible to get your hands on it! It’s worth studyin――” (Sytry)

\n　Eva excuses herself with a pale face and a gait as unsteady as Her Imperial Princess Murina’s.

　There was nothing that I could do, so I fearfully asked Sytry.

“…… Is she alive?” (Cry)

“I gave her a powerful blood-enhancement Potion, so…… There was quite a bit of burden, but there is nothing wrong with her health!” (Sytry)

　Sytry, it is not because there is nothing wrong with her health that it is fine……………… I said training, didn’t I?

　W-What should I do? They didn’t say anything to me when we returned home, but wouldn’t it be a death sentence if they found out?

　And the next day, I got a call from the Imperial family. I think I might be screwed.
