“Chapter 198: Uniform”

Sponsored Content

The series of events that started with Moonlight’s wish came to an end.

 

Thanks to the help of the demons, the damage done to the city was minimal.
Workers were removing the rubble remnant from the battle between the guardians and The Seventh.

 

I obviously couldn’t see any of it, but from what I heard it was a pretty big battle.

 

A monster appearing out of nowhere inside the wall covering the heart of the city along with a bunch of powerful demons is short of something that would raise questions among the citizens.

 

– Takaya, are you done? (Raviola)

 

– Rizerotta-san.

 

– You can call me Rotta.
How many times have I told you already?

 

I was organizing my luggage when Rizerotta walked through the door.

 

She was wearing her uniform and a coat too large for her with a sun embroidered on the back.
Exclusive for the highest executives in the guild.

 

– You do realize you don’t need to go back so quickly, right? There are tons of interesting places for someone like you in this city.

 

– You mean the black market of weapons and ingredients? I’d be lying if I said I’m not interested, but my heart is in Bay Road after all.

 

I should be the one wearing Rizerotta’s coat, but I decided to go back to Bay Road.

Sadly, that doesn’t mean I can forfeit my position.
I’ll still have to visit the Royal Capital frequently.

 

Rizerotta will act as my replacement while I’m not here.

 

– By the way, how are the negotiations with that guy going? I hope he’s not being too much of a hassle.

 

– The demon king? Rest assured, negotiations are going way better than I initially expected.

 

The fact that Raviola and Septe, two people with great influence in the city, are now servants of the demon king must have a huge impact on the city’s disposition.

 

As well as the fact that the main source of power in Royal Capital is now gone.

 

Obviously Seventh wasn’t initially in the plan, but Kouya’s scheme worked perfectly.

 

– It’s like he has control over everyone from the shadows… I don’t think I’d want to be him.

 

– What was that?

 

– Nothing.
Come on, Mike, wake up.
We’re leaving soon.

 

The only thing left to do was greet everyone in the headquarters before we leave.

 

Except… There’s something that’s been bothering me.

 

– Rizerotta-san.

– Rotta.

 

– Ahh… Rotta.
Were you able to find them?

 

Ergeet and Erieet have been missing ever since the incident.

 

They were with Rizerotta when we were discussing how to save Septe after defeating Seventh.
We’re all sure of that.

 

But then they completely vanished.

 

There was a note in my bag that said “Thank you”.

 

– We have not been able to contact them.
I’m not worried about their safety, since they’re strong enough to survive.
Besides, they’ve always been this elusive.

 

– Heey~ Takaya, Rotta, How have you been?

 

– Huh? (T/R)

 

A girl with pink hair and golden eyes crossed our path.

 

Neither of us knows her, yet she seems familiar.

 

– …Excuse me, who might you be? (Rizerotta)

– Whaat!? Come on.
I know we didn’t talk a lot, but we were such good friends~

 

– What?

 

That smell… I know this perfume.

 

– Ergeet? Erieet? (Takaya)

 

– Ooh~ Of course you’d recognize me, you little virgin!

 

Was that… a compliment?

 

– My real name is Arueetel.
I’m just a humble adventurer who travels around the world.
Those sisters you saw were the alter ego I use to hide from the rest of the world.
I’m what people call “Sage”, the one that rules the skie-Gwhoh!?

 

A girl appeared behind Arueteel and hit her on the back of her head.

 

Humble adventurer she says, yet she’s capable of using teleportation magic…

 

– You take too long to introduce yourself.
And do you need to be so mysterious? I’m the one that needs to talk to him, so please leave already if you’re done here.
(???)

 

– How cheeky for a newcomer, huh.
Maybe I should sew a little kitty on that uniform of yours.
(Arueteel)

 

– You would have to take it from my cold dead hands.
This uniform is the only thing I have to remember Nagami-kun.
It’s very dear to me.

– …What? (Takaya)

 

“Nagami-kun”?

 

Why is she calling me by my last name? And how does she know it?

 

Only few people in this world know my full name.
Including…

 

– No way…

 

No, it is possible.

 

Not all of my classmates are locked up in Ever’s basement.
Some of them left the group after I was kicked out.

 

– It’s been some time, Nagami-kun.

 

Long black hair, completely dark eyes, and wearing a magical robe with a school uniform below.
A uniform I wouldn’t be able to forget even if I wanted to.

 

– …Minagami-san?

 

– I’m so glad we meet again.

 

Minagami Shiori smiled at me, eyes dampened with tears.

(Note: “Minagami Shiori?” She appeared in Chapter 64, in case the name sounds familiar)
