I see your code (196)
It was like a sudden gust of wind.
The difference is that the feeling of touching the skin is closer to the side of the rock coming and hitting it than the wind, and the fact that there was no blizzard despite the tremendous chill.
Anyway, the strong shock didn’t change, so Tanya’s body went away helplessly.
Koo!
“it’s okay?!”
I quickly walked over to where Tanya fell and checked his condition.
Fortunately, no injuries appear. But it was so weird. It was obviously a brief moment, but it was a shock that surprised me, because it made no sense to say that Tanya, the official body of the mansion, was fine.
It looks fine on the outside, but… … Maybe the inside of the body is shaken.
The moment you want to quickly take out the potion from inside. Tanya stood up, shaking her clothes with a slight frown.
“… … Do you look okay?”
“I usually carry a body protection amulet.”
“… … okay?”
Be thorough with your preparation. Is this the guy he was naive a few years ago?
After secretly admiring himself, he suddenly came to his senses.
“What happened after that? What’s wrong?”
“I do not know either. It happened all of a sudden with nothing to do or anything to do… … .”
Tanya tilted her head and looked behind me.
“This is just a guess, but… … Maybe it’s because your soul is too strong?”
“Is the soul too strong?”
“yes. I’ve heard that something similar happens between wizards with different ranks.”
“Are you talking about the Weicha adaptation?”
stomach adaptation.
It is a phenomenon in which a large shock wave is generated outside when low-grade attack magic touches a high-grade shield.
What is the reason… … I remember the difference in grades or something. It was a fantasy anyway, so it wasn’t a big deal.
Anyway, it seems that the situation is quite similar to the adaptation to the position.
It’s because Kitan, the god of this place, even admitted that my soul is powerful.
After a moment of contemplation, Tanya continued to speak with a blush on her face.
“Ah, yes. stomach adaptation. I knew.”
“Is that so?”
There’s nothing to be ashamed of because I can’t think of many words. Still, he seemed to care, so I didn’t say anything for nothing.
“Anyway, that seems to make the most sense at this point. Either way, it would be better if the experiment would end here.”
“… … really? I thought I would definitely urge you to keep going.”
Tanya looked up at me suspiciously.
What does he see people as?
“That’s when I take the risk on my own. I am not irresponsible enough to insist on continuing in a situation that may harm you.”
I said that and immediately turned my head. It was because all the people inside the mansion from the outside, as well as Kyle and Lilia from the training ground, were all coming.
“So, for now, let’s think about the excuses over there. It doesn’t matter if I find out about your abilities after that.”
“… … yes.”
Tanya answered with a voice that was somewhat helpless, but recalled.
* * *
It was relatively easy to make excuses to people. I just experimented with the power I gained this time, and they say that it just happened. ‘Again?’ ‘Cause I’ve been looking at you
It was unexpected that Kyle looked at him with a respectful gaze unlike before, but it was also not insignificant. Rather, isn’t it strange that you have only now noticed my greatness?
Anyway, the real problem was Ricardo.
It was so outrageous that the old man, the princess, was the subject of an experiment. I lived with Tanya’s protection, otherwise I would have suffered from PTSD as an iron again.
If you reach that level, will the hitting method be settled? People with different personalities tend to put their fists first.
“… … .”
I buried the memories of yesterday into the abyss and hurried my steps. Because it wasn’t a good experience to leave behind.
Anyway, the destination is Noblesse headquarters. I’ve been there a few times about 3 years ago.
As I was walking while recalling the memories of that time when it was a perfect autumn, I came across a splendid and gigantic building that was so dazzling.
You still spend money on useless things.
When I opened the door with thought and entered, the counter staff stood up with a surprised face.
“Hey, are you Rihanna?”
“Right. I have an appointment with Teiyer Terberots today, is it still valid?”
“of course! We will guide you right away. Please follow me.”
The staff spoke while holding an angle as if they had met even a VIP. Hearing the people around me gossiping, it was self-evident that he hadn’t done that in the first place.
‘If that arrogant guy came out like that, who the hell is he?’ Because there was such a conversation going on.
It was a good idea to turn off the sound in advance to avoid this.
I smiled bitterly and followed the staff without saying a word. Not long after that, we arrived in front of a large door.
smart.
“Their Terberots. saint… … Ryan is here.”
“Come in.”
At the same time as a voice came from inside, an employee opened the door. Then, after stepping out of the way a little, bow your head. I bowed slightly and went inside.
Thayer Terberoz put down his pen and looked at me.
“Long time no see. Then that kid would be this big… … . It’s a bit of a new feeling.”
It seems like a normal greeting, but the expression is not. Is it like a snake staring at its prey?
I sat down on the sofa without saying a word. It’s for pre-pressurization. Thayer Terberoz frowned slightly.
“I haven’t given permission to sit down yet. No matter how close you are to my son’s friend, that’s clearly disrespectful.”
“I do not know. With that in mind, I have never given permission to form a vigilante group. Still, it went quietly.”
For a moment, Tair Terberotz’s body stiffened. But for a while. He immediately responded with a calm expression on his face.
“The vigilantes were not founded by me. It was made by my son Zyre. His intention to stabilize the city is extraordinary, so he is just donating a small amount of money as his father.”
“You even make excuses for not trusting the dog next door. Even though Zyre wanted it, the vigilante group would not have been able to form without Thayer-sama’s permission. And it’s strange that Thayer-sama would let go of his one and only heir so easily.”
“Is it strange that you are here to accuse me? Besides, if that’s the case, I don’t know why you’d have to allow it.”
“Time is an issue. The time the vigilante group was formed was just when our Lian Chamber was just getting bigger.”
I held my breath for a moment and continued.
“The overall size may not have been comparable, but Sanghoe was the force that divided Layton even at that time. However, to establish a unilateral armed group without notice from the other side is not the same as saying to fight, isn’t it?”
The cause of maintaining the city’s security has nothing to do with it.
It is also Noblesse that the founder pays money to be the direct successor of Noblesse, but who the hell believes that the vigilante is not a private organization?
The saying is that they are vigilantes, but in fact, there is a 100% chance that they will be transformed into the Noblesse private organization.
At that moment, Tair Terberoz jumped up from his seat and came closer. He looked down at me from above and opened his mouth calmly.
“Your company must have donated a lot to the vigilante group, right? I saw it as an indirect expression of permission.”
“You have to get permission before you can do anything. What you receive after it is established is forgiveness.”
Teyer Terberots’ eyes twitched slightly.
“… … Now you dare say you forgave me? Sanghoe, which was founded less than 5 years ago, our Noblesse, which shared history with the continent?”
“yes. You saw it right away.”
I picked up the teacup I had prepared in advance and said calmly.
“I have already forgiven Noblesse once at that time. The only reason was that it was run by Zyre’s father. From the slave trade to the exploitation of citizens… … . There was no reason to leave it.”
“… … It sounds like you could have eliminated Noblesse if you wanted to.”
“Do you think I couldn’t do it?”
As he asked, he looked up at Teyer Terberoz quietly. He didn’t say anything and stayed still, then quietly sat down on the sofa.
“… … Was it some kind of warning to put the Imperial 1st Knights into the vigilante group?”
“I thought you knew. Let’s call it humility. I never thought that I would be able to have the 1st Knights under me.”
“Anyway, the warning is meant to be right.”
Tair Terberoz laughed bitterly.
“In the end, I come back to this question, so what do you want to say? Now that even the size of you is overwhelming, you have to take care of yourself, is this this?”
I nodded my head without saying a word. Thayer Terberots raised the teacup just like me. It was a calmer expression than I expected.
“Actually, from the moment you were nicknamed Layton’s Saint and everything, I kind of expected this to happen. Because two lions cannot live in one city. If I refuse, will you kick me out of the city?”
“We will preserve your personal property.”
“You are gentle. If it were me, I would have taken my life and prevented the aftermath.”
“Even so, I can’t take my friend’s father’s life. If there is a relapse, then we will think about it.”
At my words, Thayer Terberotz burst into laughter.
“If you don’t want to die, be quiet, I mean. Good. After all, there has been a huge difference, but I’m not stupid enough to struggle.”
“Thank you for your kind cooperation. The seat is reserved for the next place to go after the head of the injured team.”
“Who is injured?”
“Because there is already a nominee there.”
Shouldn’t there be a place to go to the young man who has been running the company diligently up to this point? Thayer Terberots nodded as if thinking of him.
“If you’re the third person in the Lian Chamber, you can be quite satisfied. But in return, I won’t bother convincing even those who won’t follow me.”
“I became one of those people. The only one I covet enough to bring my head down is Teyer Terberots.”
“Still, Abu is a little weak for swallowing the top of the continent, which was once the best on the continent.”
“Please understand. I haven’t had much experience to say sorry about.”
Tair Terberots smiled.
“I would. The top of the five fingers on the continent to the marquis deputy. If you had the ability to reach level 2, there would be no need to bow your head anywhere.”
“… … Has it already spread like that?”
It must have been a bit far from spreading what had happened in the church yet. The battle with the 1st Knights was done secretly only between us.
“Like I said, it’s still the top of the continent at one time. No matter how much the empire has shrunk after the fall of the empire, the information network still remains.”
Tayer Terberotz casually shrugged his shoulders and continued.
“Anyway, now that you’re really in a boat, can I ask you one thing?”
“I can’t guarantee you can answer everything, but you can ask anything.”
“What is your ultimate goal?”
After a moment’s hesitation, he opened his mouth.
“I can’t tell you yet. Not because it’s a secret, but because I’m still thinking about it.”
“Then let’s talk a little differently.”
Teyer Terberots turned over the teacup at once and looked at me.
“What is the ultimate goal you want to achieve in this city?”
“… … If that’s the question, I’d be happy to answer it.”
I put down the still hot teacup. Then he made eye contact with Teyer Terberoz and spoke in a confident tone.
“I’m going to make Layton a completely independent city. It’s like one country, completely separate from the three kingdoms.”
