Chapter 273 - I Guess It Can be Said that I'm Also Weird

Unfortunately, after the ruckus caused by the attack had settled down, the tea with Princess Cattleya and the others was canceled.

I guess that cant be helped. From what I heard, it seems that this is the first time theyve received such an audacious a.s.sault on the one who holds the role of Heros group, so they need to make adjustments, along with making some revisions for the guard system.

Well, the reason for that is just a pretext, and its actually because Princess Cattleya didnt listen to Mitsunaga-kun and insisted on bringing him to see a doctor Mitsunaga-kun said he was fine, but Princess Cattleya still seemed to be anxious like the worrywart Lilia-san, as she forcibly brought Mitsunaga-kun away, saying that he should be examined just in case.

Even her usually stern words and actions show Princess Cattleya seemed to really care for Mitsunaga-kun, and how should I say this Seeing her acting that fl.u.s.tered is making me smile.

Anyway, that settles this case but unfortunately, that isnt the case, and I was currently in more trouble than I was willing to admit.

[N- No, like I said I didnt receive a single injury at all, s- so can you calm down!?]

[These fools tormenting Kaito I will kill them.]

[No, no, Im telling you, the attacker was already taken away long ago I- Isis-san!? Can you calm down for now]

[I will turn him into ice and break him into pieces so that not a single piece of his flesh would be left in this world.]

[.]

Yes, currently in front of me was the angry Isis-san, her veins popping out of her forehead, as if she really wants to beat someone up.

The magic power of death shes clad in turned outrageous, as if shes wielding her sword around with her tremendous fury, and along with her arrival, the people who were around have fled, quickly turning this city into a ghost town.

No, whats worse is that it wasnt just Isis-san As just her arrival might not have turned this situation into something this disastrous

[That wont do, Isis, dont just easily kill him off Lets make sure that he wont pa.s.s out from the pain, and make him disappear from his fingertips, a little portion of his body at a time.]

[Can you also calm down, Kuro!? Im telling you, Im fine!!!]

[As expected of Kuromueina.]

[Isis-san!? Theres nothing that should be expected here, you know!?]

Yes, whats worse is that theres also another one here Kuro.

Kuro also seems to be quite angry, as black mists were spewing out from her body, and cracks are appearing on the ground because of the aftermath of her magic power being released.

Soon after Princess Cattleya and Mitsunaga-kun left, the two of them appeared, clad with terrifying killing intent and pressed me with the question of where the attackers were.

It seems that they threw out the preparations for the Six Kings. I think Lillywood-san who should be near them is probably holding her head in their hands right now.

A- Anyway, lets just put that aside. Why the heck am I frantically trying to protect the attacker? No, I think I can understand why Its because sending Alice towards them is already overkill, so when these two are added to the mix, no matter how much that guy attacked us, I would start feeling sorry for them.

Or rather, if they were this angry, I feel like the attacker, along with this entire city would get erased, so I must stop them at all costs.

[A- Alice! Cant you do something about them!?]

[Thats impossible If I poorly stop them, I would just become their target]

[If thats what it takes, so be it.]

[What about me!?]

No, I mean, I think that if its Alice, she would somehow be able to get away from it

In the end, it took me a long time to appease Kuro and Isis-san.

I was really, really tired but Im glad that Ive managed to convince both of them to leave it be.

[Haahhh Im tired.]

[Ahaha, good work over there. As expected of Kaito-san.]

[You really didnt help me at all]

[Well~~ Im telling you, thats impossible for me. The only one who can calm down Kuro-san and Isis-san when theyre that angry is Kaito-san.]

[Haahhh]

I let out another sigh in front of Alice, who was chuckling at the side. Good gracious, Im really tired.

Well, their appearance shows how worried they were about me, so Im honestly glad about that but

[By the way, Kaito-san.]

[Unnn?]

[I think I did pretty well this time.]

[Y- Yeah, well You didnt really help me out with just now, but Im really glad that youve protected Princess Cattleya and Mitsunaga-kun.]

When Alice suddenly changed the subject, I nodded my head in affirmation.

Indeed, the MVP of this time is definitely Alice. Not only did she protect Princess Cattleya and Mitsunaga-kun, she also protected the guard knights who were in the vicinity of the explosion, quickly caught the attacker, and is currently investigating the one who was behind it as well.

If it hadnt been for Alice, Princess Cattleya and Mitsunaga-kun would have been injured or even worse, die. The attacker would also have fled in the confusion and disappeared like smoke.

I cant thank Alice enough, and Im really glad that shes guarding me However, why is she suddenly mentioning that?

[Right!? I did my best, you know Now then, Im going to change the subject but]

[Unnn?]

[Its just about time for dinner, you know~~ Im also getting hungry.]

[.]

[I guess this me who did her best deserves a reward~~ Well, this is just me talking to myself though.]

[..]

This f*cking woman Shes going around in circles, but in short, because she did her best, I should buy her a meal!?

However, well, Alice certainly did great today, so I feel like that isnt a bad way to thank her.

[What do you want to eat?]

[Eeehhh!? Could it be Kaito-san!? Youre going to buy me a dinner~~]

[Your intentions are so transparent!]

[Well~~ Im feeling apologetic, even though Im just doing something natural Theres a restaurant that serves delicious fish dishes over there!]

This shamelessness and annoyingness Alice really is the same as ever. Moreover, she even has the nerve to demand going to the expensive, high-end stores.

[Haahhh Well, fine. Lets go.]

[Great~~!!! As expected of Kaito-san! The ideal boss who treats his employees well! Youre making me fall in love, you know? Im fine even if we do it all night, you know?]

[I firmly refuse.]

[A really powerful and direct refusal!?]

Looking at such a hopeless Alice, who quickly started teasing me right after I complimented here a bit, I let out a big sigh again and decided to walk down the dimly lit street to the high-cla.s.s restaurant Alice had mentioned.

[Haghmm, whamuu, omnomn Ah, seconds here please!]

[Hey, Alice. Do you know what table manners are?]

The restaurant that Alice led me to is indeed like a high-cla.s.s restaurant, and the fish dishes they serve here looks as stylish as french cuisines.

And then, theres this one idiot here who looks so disappointing, piling up food into her cheeks like a squirrel, as if to say that she doesnt give a d.a.m.n about manners Sitting on the same table with her makes me feel embarra.s.sed.

No, I dont know much about table manners either, but I can clearly see that this womans way of eating is nonsensical.

[Kaito-san, table manners are for those spoiled brats, you know?]

[Huh?]

However, this idiot is someone who thinks that always being an idiot is the right way of life, as she started to sa

y something with an incomprehensible smug look on her face.

[Eating well is the most respectful way to express grat.i.tude to the chef! Eating elegantly is just something that someone selfishly established.]

[Wouldnt the people of this restaurant be angry at you?]

[Ahh, thats alright. The owner of this restaurant is my subordinate.]

[.]

M- My head hurts Ive thought about this a lot already, but is this really something that someone, who is supposedly one of the Six Kings, should do?

[Excuse meeee. I also would like this part of the menu until this part!]

[.]

However, this idiot didnt seem to mind, and started ordering one dish after another as if she was ordering snacks in a pub.

[Alice, do you know what being reserved means?]

[Unfortunately, it isnt written in my dictionary. Food eaten with other peoples money is the tastie- Fugyaahhh!?]

[For the time being, Im confiscating this.]

[Aaaahhhh!? My meunieeeerrrreee!?]

Haahhh Seriously, how should I say this Shes reliable in times of need, but since shes usually like this, its quite a shame. Well, I guess this is what makes her Alice, right?

Dear Mom, Dad- Alice is still the same troubling person but. At least, I was having fun hanging out with this idiot, and being comforted by her presence around me I guess it can be said that Im also weird.

Serious-senpai: [That woman (Alice). I dont like her]
