Chapter 1172 – Ep.1170 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
As I spoke confidently in front of everyone, I had many ways to subdue the entity sent here by the Federation without force.
One is the Mimic that I am currently holding in my arms, and if the circumstances arise, it is possible for me to step forward myself.
There is no need to touch it directly; all you have to do is stay hidden and spread the fire whip to eat the divinity. However, I only think that there is a way to do this, and I have no intention of taking action myself.
As Sith has said many times in the past, the moment I deliberately steal the divinity of the gods who have made a contract with the Company, including Lapitera, I will no longer be able to receive the Company’s protection.
However, they said that if that side directly harms me first, an exception clause applies, but as long as that side has their own thoughts, they will not touch me directly in the future.
If you were planning on touching it, you would have done it already.
Anyway, even if it wasn’t Mimic, there was a way to use Nuit, who would have already fallen asleep alone in the room across from me, scratching his stomach.
“Before that, what is poetry?”
“Why?”
I didn’t avoid Siran, who subtly brought his face close to me, and tucks his slightly flowing red hair behind his ear and gently caressed the mark on his neck.
“Did you hide yourself with this and react when approached?”
“At all. Instead, the direction can be inferred to some extent from footprints or small changes that occur when moving.”
“Then… “Please don’t bite.”
I gently grabbed her hand that was stroking the sign, and while I was embarrassed by the sudden action of Si-ran, who was biting her bright red lips, I tried not to show it and gently pushed her soft lips with my index finger.
“Hmm, then we can fight while hiding her body. But why were you so hurt?”
“Because they couldn’t find me, they killed the guys who were following me as guides and contacts.”
“… I see.”
I didn’t know the name or the face, but I felt a little awkward about how to react at that moment, perhaps because the word death itself had a special weight.
“Just in case, I’ll tell you, I don’t have anything to worry about, right?”
Since there was no reason to dwell on the topic at length, I nodded once and passed the topic.
“Still, just in case, please check once more while Siran is in hiding.”
“Can I just hide and come back?”
“He was so full of life as if he was really going to kill him.”
“Ah, I know what it feels like. “Are you going now?”
“I don’t even know where the direction is. And I still have more to say, so please wait.”
Siran shrugged her shoulders and gently put her weight on me again. Since it wasn’t something that bothered her too much, I left her alone and looked at her with her mouth still closed. She spoke to the women who were looking at her.
“Siran will do the verification, but as Siran said, there is a high possibility that they will not be able to detect the power of the sign on the other side.”
Unless Lapitera and the other gods met the conditions of being a holy relic and a temple and could directly look down on the ground, it was thought that the sacred relics given by the company would probably not perform as well as they should.
“If it’s clear that we can’t see through, I will hide with Siran and watch the situation nearby. If you get caught… “I don’t think there’s any need to make any special preparations since it’s obvious that I’ll either get into a fight with Siran or run away.”
Since I have never seen Siran show her true feelings, I don’t know how much pressure she will be under if she truly embraces someone.
However, unless she was a puppet who was completely murdering Izzy, I could guarantee that she would react in some way to Siran’s murder. And Siran will definitely detect any change, no matter how small.
“Does anyone have any questions or other opinions up to this point?”
“…”
When I asked, she went out and raised her hand.
“Do I have to act this time too?”
“It’s necessary, but there’s no need to waste your emotions like last time.”
That’s probably why they come to see me after hearing the news that I’m dead, but if they postpone my death and say they want to see my body, then… Well, it’s okay to just give it a reason to reject it, but that will only create unnecessary suspicion.
“Let’s say he wasn’t dead, but was seriously injured to the point of death and was moved to another place for healing.”
“For example… ?”
“I’m sure the other side already knows that the elves joined this side, so I think it would be a good idea to catch up with them.”
I looked at Ardel and Lihina and asked for their opinions.
“… “You probably don’t know my abilities, so I wouldn’t doubt it too much unless you have a way to check for yourself.”
“Then would it be better for me to hide myself?”
“I see. It would be better for Rihina to hide herself for now.”
Fortunately, there seemed to be no major loopholes.
“Nuit… It doesn’t matter if you treat her roughly, but out of consideration for the first princess who owns her body, let her rest until tomorrow, and I will talk to Ardella again when she wakes up.”
“Isn’t there anything else we need to do?”
This time, it wasn’t me, but Ardel, who was sitting across from her, raising her hand and asking.
“Just acting is enough.”
These are not empty words. Bringing up negative emotions by recalling something that never happened was not as easy as it sounds. If I had been able to freely control my emotions like that, there would have been no reason to audition when selecting actors.
“The rest of the conversation… Geena? “Isn’t it still far until evening?”
“Yes.”
“Good. Then, let’s all eat dinner together tonight. If there’s anything else left to say, I’ll say it then.”
I got up from the sofa, gently pushing Siran away from me. And then, as the Mimic was in her arms, she placed it back in my arms and said,
“I have something to talk about separately with Siran. Ardel and Rihina, please leave too.”
“”…””
Despite the clear order to congratulate the guests, they did not move immediately.
“Or if I leave…”
When I tried to turn around, the three people sitting on the sofa stood up.
“Call me when it’s time for dinner.”
“Yes.”
She answered with a more solemn look than usual, and then quietly left the bedroom with the other two people.
“So.”
When I heard Siran’s voice coming from behind, I scratched my head and placed my butt on the sofa where I was sitting.
I could have asked why she was sitting there, but Siran just looked at me quietly with her serious eyes, different from before.
“Siran.”
“I’m listening.”
It took a lot of mental preparation to say out loud what she had been wanting to ask since she met him.
“When Ravel attacks the system… “Was Siran also there?”
“How many people did you kill?”
“No. There’s no way I’m asking that now.”
I feel very sorry for those who were killed, but as I said before, I feel a little uncomfortable about the deaths of people whose faces and names I do not know.
It was just like that.
“Then?”
“Can’t you just answer?”
“…”
I don’t know what kind of expression he is making right now, but judging from the way Siran’s gaze at me has calmed slightly, he seems to be making a serious expression.
“My eldest sister acted differently from us even before she left the Demon Continent.”
“You mean she wasn’t involved?”
“Okay.”
The moment she heard Siran’s simple answer, she somehow let out a sigh of relief.
“Did you not like it?”
“I didn’t feel very comfortable.”
It was a place where I made many connections, and the place where I first developed affection after Mallingta was destroyed, so I couldn’t feel good about it. Above all, the abuse suffered by women, including Marvius. And…
“What’s wrong?”
“No.”
At Siran’s reaction, which seemed to have no idea what was going on in the system, I swallowed back all the worries I had been worrying about.
I wasn’t involved, and I didn’t want to spoil the atmosphere by asking pointless questions.
“What is it? Make people curious.”
“Siran was like that too.”
“You told me in the end.”
“Please correct me and say I kept my promise.”
“This… ?”
Shi Ran squinted one of her eyes and stood up. In response, I raised one hand to stop Siran from approaching and said.
“If I can contact Ravel, I’ll tell you.”
“Tell me because you have it.”
No, this woman?
Although it wasn’t revealed at all on his face, I instinctively knew that Siran was lying.
“Really?”
“Okay. “Don’t you trust me?”
After swallowing what I was trying to answer honestly, I lightly tapped my thigh. Siran got up from his seat, came to my side, and very naturally lay down on the sofa and laid his head on my thigh.
“I’m ready to listen, so let’s go…” … ?”
I calmly accepted Siran’s blinking gaze, asking, “What are you doing?” And laughed, touching her cheek with the hand that covered her mouth.
“Let’s sleep a little longer until dinner.”
