Volume 2 - CH 241

You fool!

Wha… what are you doing!?

Why did you do that!

“Oi, Reizen!”

Reizen ignored my calls and just walked away.

I had no choice but to apologize no matter what he said, because it was our fault.

The guards immediately rushed out and surrounded Reizen with spears.

The guard stopped at one point, but he immediately broke off the right half of the spear with his hand.

“!!?”

The guard was quite puzzled and took a few steps backward because the spear they thought was impossible to break was broken.

This time, the guard seemed to be readying the sword at their waist, but after seeing the strength of Reizen, they were too afraid to take a step forward.

I mean, he’s really tough.

But he’s this strong even though he hasn’t used his martial arts yet.

His defense is high, and his attack power is also considerable, which makes him stronger than me.

That’s not it!

This is no time to be impressed!

“Reizen, wait a minute!”

“It’s okay!”

[[[[Okay my ass!?]]]]

The heck with ‘It’s okay’?

We’re afraid because we don’t know what you’re thinking right now!

What the hell are you trying to do!

As I tried to step forward, several guards surrounded us.

They don’t want to let us move, though, because they can’t get their hands on Reizen……

If it ain’t us, no one can’t stop him you dumbass!!

This is going to be bad if no one could stop him.

So I tried to catch him using infinite water manipulation, but before I could do that, Reizen leapt and landed in front of the prince.

Judging from the slight explosion at his feet, he must be using explosion fist skill.

Therefore, my infinite water manipulation could not reach him in time.

Even if I tried to make a move now, the distance between us is quite long, so it probably wouldn’t be any hindrance for Reizen to make a single move.

Dear lord.

Reizen grabbed the prince by the side and lifted him high in the air.

The nobles and guards must have seen this and thought that the prince had been taken hostage.

Then, while still in that state, Reizen throws a few words at the prince.

“Prince! You look lame!”

“Eh!?”

“You’re totally lame!”

“A-are you making fun of me!?”

“But it’s not my fault you’re so lame! You’re not cool at all!”

Hearing Reizen’s overly straightforward words, we can see even here that the prince was downhearted to the core.

The people around him were, frankly speaking, in a state of shock.

But we know that he won’t harm the prince. ……

That scared the hell out of me. ……

Not to mention, he’s too rude even though he’s just met him.

Well, it’s Reizen agter all

That guy has a personality that can brute force communication.

Even though he can’t speak English, he seems to have been able to fit in well overseas, so he must be a powerhouse at communicating with others.

Still, I can understand why he says that the prince’s clothes are lame.

He probably wanted to look cool.

But the clothes were not appropriate for his height, and the way he was walking didn’t seem very nice.

This was Reizen, who had an eye for cool things.

He probably couldn’t stand to see that kind of thing.

The prince seemed shocked for a while, but then he looked at Reizen’s attire.

He was wearing the similar cloak, with many belts wrapped around his black-based attire.

On his chest, a triangular plate was fastened with belts from three points, and the gold embroidery on his black attire seemed to float.

Seeing this, the prince’s eyes lit up.

“Oh! Oooh! Where did you get these clothes from?”

“This was made by a blacksmith in the Kingdom of Garrot!”

“C-cool! I want to wear something like that!”

“No, it’s hard to do that since you’re royalty. …… Isn’t there an appropriate attire?”

“Uuuh ……. Then what should I do?”

He move his arms and legs to and fro while being lifted up and pouting.

However, Reizen does not look troubled when he sees it.

“It’s okay. I can’t dress like me, but I can do something that looks like this.”

“I- is that true?”

“There are some things that need to be corrected. The way you walk and the way you act!”

“Ugh. ……. I’m already tired of learning about etiquette …….”

“They teach you general etiquette, don’t they? But there are cool ways to be polite too!”

“What did you say?!”

Ah.

This prince is exactly the same type as Reizen, isn’t he?

They’re starting to talk friendly.

Oi, people around the prince, what are you going to do?

Your prince has been immersed by a communicative apparition.

I mean, these two have completely forgotten all about us.

“What are we going to do about it?”

“I don’t know. They seem to be having a lot of fun.”

“It’s not that…… I know that our group is lacking in common sense. Ouren, what’s going on here?” 

“You shouldn’t use common sense on Reizen.”

“Seriously,……?

In any case, he’s not very bright in his head.

He creates that kind of atmosphere.

Reizen and the prince have finished talking and are looking at us very happily.

‘You guys! What are your names?

“Oh, finally, something is progressing. I am Ouren.”

“Alena!”

“My name is Uchikage.”

“I am Houen.”

“Me too, I’m late in introducing myself, but I’m Reizen, a member of the Reitei’s party led by Ouren aniki, the Earth Emperor!”

“Oooh! What’s with that cool nickname? I am the prince of this country, Kreis Weitaluna Snipper!”

…… Well, that’s the first time I’ve heard of the prince’s name …….

If I said I didn’t know it, they would be mad at me, so I’ll just keep it to myself. ……

I mean, his father really isn’t here, is he?

What is he doing …… if he’s out of the country at a time like this?

“”Well then!””

“Huh?”

Reizen and Kreis turn on their heads and try to go to the back of the room.

Vasti saw them and stopped them.

“P-please wait! Kreis-sama, we are not done yet. ……”

“I only wanted to see the adventurers. You take care of the rest!”

“That is all well and good, but ……! What are you going to do about the adventurers, ……?”

“Hmm? I’m going to take them as my personal aide.”

“Eh?”

“Eh?”

This statement seemed to make even the most skeptical Reizen wonder.

[[[[Eeeeeeeeeeeeeh?]]]]

“That was startling me!”

The surrounding nobles and guards all make the same sound.

Well, such an atypical event or something like this is not common. ……

Or rather, Prince Kreis just wanted to see the adventurers,…….

But it would be strange to invite someone with no accomplishments, so they brought someone who played an active role in this battle. ……

And then there was Reizen and I got on the same horse.

But what will happen in this kind of situation?

I mean, what happens in a case like this?

“Houen?”

“How do I know!”

“No shit-“

Prince Kreis then makes a declaration.

“Reizen will be by my aide! I will hear no objections!”

“Prince Kreis? It’s not cool to wield power that way.”

“I-is that so?”

“Also, that cape you were wearing earlier, it would look better with it flipped up like this …….”

Reizen began to give Prince Kreis a lecture.

As the two became good friends, they completely disregarded the opinions of those around them.

But well, it’s not like Reizen is going to stay by the prince’s side all the time.

I’m sure it wouldn’t be a problem if they just stayed together for a while.

“So that’s that, Aniki! I’ll be staying with him for a while!”

“Ah, yeah. If you need anything, just come to me. Have fun.”

“Aye!”

[[[[I beg you, please stop this!]]]]

With a final cry of grief from the nobles, the guards, and Vasti, this invitation came to an end.

……somehow?
