Abandoned by my Childhood Friend, I Became a War Hero chapter 82

82 - The Gray Witch

82 – The Gray Witch

Island 4 is a place that is difficult for ordinary people to access. There are no special restrictions, but the atmosphere there makes it so.

A splendid street for aristocrats with enormous wealth and power, including the most luxurious 5-star hotel in the empire and a department store full of various luxury goods.

We were standing right there.

Compared to other districts, District 4 was not full of people even during the festival season.

However, the only people walking the streets were nobles or attendants who accompanied them. Except for the two of us, there was no one walking around without an attendant.

“That, Instructor Graham. Is it really right here? Maybe we should go back now?”

“… It will be fine.”

Take Instructor Lirya, who looked around nervously as if she had come to a place she shouldn’t have been, and headed to the restaurant Sylvia had reserved.

As expected from hearing about the area, the location of the restaurant Sylvia reserved was unusual.

Hotel Arcadia. The most luxurious and top-notch hotel in the empire where foreign royalty and VIP guests stay. And ‘Himmel Garten’ was the restaurant inside the Arcadia Hotel.

The restaurant was decorated with pure white marble, and it gave off a bright and splendid atmosphere. He could even see the imperial palace from afar through the window.

Instructor Lilya looked around her restaurant with her mouth slightly open. After she looked down at the dress she was wearing, she held onto her sleeve with a white expression as if she thought it was nothing.

“Yeah, I don’t think I should come here! It’s not like I’m dressed for a place like this… !”

“It suits me well enough.”

“That…… ! Thank you for that, but…. The person over there is Mrs. Lemain, the wife of the head of the Merchant Guild, and the person over there is Mayor Jedo and his wife! Besides that, everyone here is all great aristocrats, so there must be some misunderstanding about booking a place like this so easily. This is not a place you can enter just because you have money… !”

“… ….”

From my point of view, Instructor Lilya was more amazing as he could recognize all those people just by looking at their faces.

And I was also curious. In addition to having an unenviable job as an academy instructor, a gentry with deep knowledge of the upper class feels rejected by the upper class.

I was a little concerned about what kind of environment Instructor Lilya grew up in to have this way of thinking.

That’s my opinion Anyway, Instructor Lilya said while holding me tight by the sleeve.

“Ah, anyway… I don’t fit in here. It’s not too late, even now-“

“Yes. Country folks like you are annoying to be in a place like this, so can you stop blocking the road and get out of the way?”

It wasn’t me who said that, it was an ashen-haired woman in a fancy dress standing behind us. Instructor Lirya’s eyes widened at the radical dress that exposed her back and chest to the point of dizziness.

But it wasn’t the way she dressed that surprised me. Perhaps realizing that I was surprised to see her face, Instructor Lyria looked at me and asked curiously.

“Are you acquainted with him… ?”

I shook my head slightly.

I never knew her personally, but I knew her face.

The chief mage of the Imperial Palace Wizards and a colleague of the brave.

‘The Gray Witch’ Greta von Runhardt.

She swept her characteristic gray hair and said in a shrill voice.

“It’s really poor management that these country folk can come in without incident. Arcadia Hotel seems to have fallen a lot now.”

Greta pushed me away and she tried to walk proudly to her restaurant, but she didn’t push me and she rather pushed herself behind her, losing her balance.

Her face frowned as if she couldn’t understand the situation.

“What? It’s not a stone pillar… Hey hey you! You dare not get out of the way when the chief mage is walking- Huh?”

She put her hand on her waist and glared at me aggressively. Then Greta’s eyes widened and her lips parted slightly dazedly.

Her blank eyes were gone for a while, and she let out an interesting nasal sound and stared openly at my face. Her eyes were mixed with the dark greed typical of wizards.

“If this is enough, well… It’s okay. Huh. I just want to take you with me for a while what is your name?”

I stayed silent in response to that question.

Greta’s eyebrows furrowed slightly at my silence.

“… Yes, is it worth the face? I’ll see you this one time. Wanna go into this restaurant? I can guide you if you want. Instead, don’t be that boorish little sister.”

Instructor Lilya shrugged her shoulders when she said that she was her sister, but as if she recognized her Greta as well, she looked at me and her Greta with anxious eyes, but in the end she didn’t say anything.

“Is this the only restaurant? I can even take you to the Imperial Palace Ball. Have you ever been to the Imperial Palace? Of course not. But if it’s me, it’s possible. Because I am Greta von Runhard, the hero’s colleague and the chief mage of the imperial palace. You must have heard my name, right? So come on, it’s an honor to know-“

“Enough.”

No matter what day you go these days, you come across unwanted faces.

I cut her off firmly because I thought there would be no end if I continued to listen. It wasn’t particularly intentional, but her voice was colder and heavier than usual.

At her stubborn refusal, Greta frowned and couldn’t hide her displeasure.

“…… Oh, so what? I’m kicking my bok Well, the villagers are often surprised.”

She strutted away, flicking her gray hair. She didn’t push me this time, but walked aside. And she proudly spoke to the staff at the entrance.

“You know who I am? Please guide me to your seat.”

“… Mr. Greta. Excuse me, have you made a reservation?”

“Ha? Don’t you know who i am I am Greta von Runhardt. The chief mage of the imperial palace. I said I’m going to use this restaurant, is it a position where I have to inform you guys one by one?”

“I’m really sorry, but during the Victory Festival, there were a lot more customers than usual, so we informed you that you must make a reservation two months in advance. Even if it’s Greta-sama, you can’t use it if you don’t have a reservation.”

“What? Are you out of your mind Are you saying this when you know my father is a wizard? You’re the kind of person who can’t stand being ignored anywhere. If your father finds out about this and even drops a meteorite on top of the hotel, will you be responsible then?”

“I’m sorry again, but even if Lunhardt-sama comes personally instead of Greta-sama, you can’t use it without a reservation.”

“You… Yes, you bastard go, dare… Profit… !”

Greta stared at her clerk for a long while, blushing and looking angry.

The commotion caused some of the customers inside her restaurant to turn around, and eventually Greta turned away, unable to hide her humiliated expression.

I passed her and approached her entrance with her lyrea instructor. Seeing me like that, a smile bloomed on Greta’s face. It was a mocking smile, saying, ‘Do you think you guys can enter this place that even I couldn’t enter?’.

“Welcome, sir. Could you tell me the name of the person making the reservation?”

“This is Ion Graham.”

“Ion, Graham… Here you are. You made a reservation for two, right? We will guide you to your seat right away.”

From noble mtl dot com

“What… !”

Greta shouted at the clerk with a mixture of anger and bewilderment.

“Wait, why does he work and I can’t!?”

“Ion-nim made a reservation, Greta-nim did not.”

“No matter how you do it, how can you get those kinds of things… Ion Graham? Under! Looking at your name, you’re not even a noble!”

I ignored Greta, who was running wild in anger, and entered the restaurant with Instructor Lyra following the guidance of her staff.

Instructor Lirya gave a worried look while glancing back.

“Instructor Graham. Are you okay… ?”

“What do you mean?”

“That person. I got Instructor Graham’s name… Wouldn’t you like to retaliate later? Even now, it’s better to give up your reservation to him….”

“You don’t have to. And that’s okay.”

The chief mage of the Imperial Palace?

It’s a reputation that’s only in name, and it’s a skill that doesn’t even reach the toes of the crimson sage.

Meteor? Meteor was cut and broken dozens of times in the last war. In order to harm me with magic, I had to use at least the magic of Caynax’s breath or the sage’s martial arts.

The thing that bothered me the most right now was a trivial curiosity about how Sylvia was able to make a reservation at this restaurant. The Gray Witch wasn’t even up to that level for me.

Nevertheless, Instructor Lilya seemed to be cowering like a frightened rabbit, wondering if she still had any worries or if she hadn’t adjusted to the atmosphere of this restaurant.

I said with a short sigh.

“Instructor Lilya. Straighten your shoulders proudly.”

“Yes… ?”

“She is at least a mature woman who is more suited to this position than Instructor Lilya, rather than the woman she was earlier.”

At that, Instructor Lilya looked at me with a surprised expression. A mixture of surprise and shyness crossed her face.

“That, that word….”

She pursed her lips with flushed cheeks, and she said no more.

She only took one step closer to me.

    I think she’s the daughter of the hero party’s mage not actually a part of it

  2. Makes me wonder if Charlotte was coerced to join the hero party. Probably threatening to hurt Ion if she didn’t join.

  3. That’s probably their trait

  4. simplethrone says:

    All members of the hero party are really going to be asshole?
