Chapter 183 Trust?
Part 1
I walked through the carpet which was *pechipechi* hitting me and was full of energy after it had been charged, like it was a curtain, and entered the room.
In the room, Kruz was waiting for me while recharging the other Relics. The reason why she reluctantly recharges them seems to be because Lucia asked her to do it. Whatever the reason it is, I am very grateful.
When Kruz heard the result of the summon, she stared in wonder and said with a suspicious voice.
“…… Haaaah? How in the world did this happen after what we did, desuka?” (Kruz)
“Even I want to know how.” (Cry)
“What did you do, Yowaningen, desu?” (Kruz)
“If I have to say what I was doing, I was… Doing nothing.” (Cry)
“Yowaningen, you seriously have to stop doing that, desu!” (Kruz)
We left the escort midway and went to pick up my carpet and as a result, we will be escorting the Emperor by his side starting from tomorrow.
I know I am not in the best position to say this, but I have no idea why it happened at all.
When Franz-san told me in a stern voice, I couldn’t help but say, “What? What the heck are you talking about?”. And then Franz-san’s face turned bright red.
However, my actions were such that it wouldn’t be strange if I lost their trust and had been fired immediately. It could be said that I had no choice but to question his sanity.
Could it be that by placing me, the untrustworthy one, in the Emperor’s sights, he intends to behead me the next time I make a mistake?
However, that means taking advantage of the Emperor’s position. That’s not good…… That’s ain’t good. That’s lese-majesty. Stop it.
Even though I was ready for it, the matter about leaving in the middle of the escort was somehow dropped. It seemed that people from Franz-san’s side said that it was already in the past and asked us to escort them properly next time.
I am not sure if it was because they were open-minded, or because my disproportionately high level was too effective…… But the fact that it was dropped doesn’t make me feel any better.
Come on, I want to go home already…… Tell me it’s a lie that it has only been two days.
I was working under the assumption that the main escort would be the Knights Order. No matter how much honor it can give me. If I had to escort the Emperor from his side, then it would be a different story.
But it wasn’t like I could say no. I was checkmate.
What do you think would happen if you put a cursed Emperor with the unlucky me together?
“Here, your Relics recharge is over, desu. Is there anything else? Desu.” (Kruz)
“Ah, can you do that too?” (Cry)
I took out three Barrier Rings that were out of charge. When Kruz saw that she blatantly frowned at it.
“Geh…… A-Again with those Relics that eat so much of your Magic power…… Yowaningen, when are you using those Relics, desu!” (Kruz)
“Ahahahahah……” (Cry)
All I could do was laugh dryly.
After Franz-san’s summoning ended, I went outside and impulsively hit my head on the wall. I hit my head three times, so I consumed three of them! Desu……
.
“Well, from now on it’s the real deal…… I have to be fully prepared, because…… You never know what will happen. Kruz, I will have you work hard too.” (Cry)
“H-Humph…… You don’t need to tell me that, desu! However, you must remember that I am not working for you, Yowaningen, desu! It is only because Lapis ordered me to, so I have no choice but to work for you, desu!” (Kruz)
“Un, un, that’s right……” (Cry)
If you think about it, Term was also working under the orders of 《Abyssal Fire of Destruction (Shin En Kametsu)》, and Kilknight was something Sytry entrusted me with.
So the only person who will genuinely be on my side is Kechakchakka, heh…… I am sorry for thinking “Hey, let’s include him because he has a weird name”.
I had a slightly bad feeling about him when I heard that he was a sorcerer, but apparently, his fighting skills are normal.
On the contrary, he was quite reliable, since he was still laughing suspiciously as usual when Chilldra appeared. I will be relying on you.
Oh right, I have to inform Term and the others about their decision to force us to escort the Emperor by his side from tomorrow on……
The synergy between the cursed Emperor and me will surely make tomorrow terrible things happen. But it wasn’t like I could do anything about it.
And Sytry and the others are ahead of us, so what will happen will happen anyway. They have been noisy about foxes this, and foxes that lately, but even when we encountered the Wandering Shrine, we were able to manage it.
I was completely in giving up mode, so even though I wasn’t sleepy, I yawned heavily.
A hellish escort request that I have never experienced before will now (Probably) begin.
