Master SSS-Class Magic Swordsman

Ahead of the holidays152.

a few days after that.

It was when Eud came to the hideout as soon as his lecture was over.

“Eud and the two older sisters, are you going to go back to the mansion for the holidays?”

".......right."

“It’s a coincidence, I’m planning to go back during the holidays too.”

“What a coincidence. Except for international students, most of them go back once in a while.”

“Do international students go to various cities to play during the holidays? Metrius and Phoenician, there are a lot of students for various tourism purposes at this time.”

“…Eud, are you okay?”

“Ah, yes. Lennie. OK."

Eud nodded his head a little tiredly.

The unchangingly white haired girl with my own pace pulls Eud's hair and ears tight.

He then touches Eud's head with his own hands.

At first, I wondered what the intention was.

It was like checking the part that was covered when wearing a helmet.

After covering Eud's eye-to-helmet visor once, Lenny Anne hugs her snort as if satisfied.

After the lecture, Tiana ordered the meeting of the hideout today (alchemy and staying up all night plan), so she immediately came to the hideout.

She had no idea that her guests had come first in front of the hideout.

Thanks to her she was in the drawing room of the hideout, where she greeted her guests for the first time.

Even Eud alone.

He puts on the tea he once learned from Marie, and treats it to two of his siblings.

No, such a visit is quite natural in aristocratic sense.

Whatever the case between the parties. From the outside, it is said that the 'close aristocratic family' formed a faction and won the Daejeon.

There were good reasons for Truth and Lenian to come.

To be precise, I could have made enough, but would that be more correct?

Since it is the same dormitory in the first place, there will be many more encounters in the future.

“Ah, this is a gift. It's a delicious sweets set, so I hope you all eat it together Selena especially likes sweets.”

Truth placed the beautifully wrapped refreshment box on the parlor table.

The white-haired bastard, who didn't know what he was thinking, was sure of his manners every time.

When participating in the Flora tea party.

When holding a tea party on the side of Metri.

Because he always handed out various gifts and greetings to the members.

Of course, it's not that Eud doesn't know that this is a pretense.

I am also well aware that the manners tend to be quite limited.

Eud takes the refreshment box, bewildered.

It felt heavy, and the amount contained was quite large.

As Truth said, Selena will like it quite a bit.

but-

even as a guest. Even if you give me a gift. Let's go talk to each other.

“Truth. You see that.”

"Huh?"

“I ordered Anat-senpai to prevent him from joining the faction. I heard that Alice Garum said it was true you.”

For a very brief moment, Truth wriggled his eyebrows inconspicuously.

Then he immediately nodded his head with a friendly smile.

"right."

“- That’s right.”

――Paaaaaaah!

Above the drawing room, Eud's fists slammed into Truth's nose at once.

The wind of belated oppression blew with a whirling sound.

The cars that Eud gave away rattle along with the drawing room desk.

“Ahaha. I was really scared, but this is…”

Looking at Wood's fist just before it touched the tip of his nose, Truth said jokingly.

Of course, the tone is just a joke.

Even though his fists had definitely stopped in front of him, Truth was numb from the pressure.

Even his shrugged shoulders trembled slightly.

It was enough that I instinctively opened my eyes.

He had already applied magic hardening all over his body without realizing it.

Truth has a fairly ingenious sense, including magic eyes.

Just look at Eud's eyes, look at his actions or the movements of his muscles.

You must have known that this boy never really wielded his fist.

Even so, he was prepared for a moment's serious injury.

Of course, Lenianne grabbed Eud's arm before he knew it.

In fact, even if he went seriously, it would not have been right once.

...I must have been pushed a few meters away at once due to the pressure.

“Truth. This is a warning from my side, not the Phoenix family.”

".......Huh. Tell me, Eud.”

“Until last time, I called ‘independent’. It's not that we don't understand your position either."

As Truth raised his hands, Eud continued it in a calm voice.

“But Anat Torrang is now a phoenix faction. You came under me as the leader. So if you touch me from now on-”

Eud gave Lennyanne's arm a little more force.

“Even if we fight a battle on our side, I will fight you.”

Clear hostility and intimidation.

Even if it's Torrang. If he touched his own member, it meant that he would completely betray the goodwill of Truth from now on.

It was also meant to destroy the “cooperative system of the next two families” promoted by Deut.

Truce opened his eyes terribly there for an instant.

....... But after a while he unpacks it and nods his head.

"do not worry. As Anat joined your phoenix faction, I have no intention of touching you for a while.”

“Are there any possible quarrels among the members? Like back then, it was Alice herself.”

“I also told the faction members. Torrang is on hold. But on Alice's side, we don't have the right to control individual fights, right?"

Truth points to Wood's fist with his raised hand.

“Like this ‘personal clash’ now. 'Demon' and 'Mad Dog' have always been bad friends."

'Personal Conflict'.

It means that Truth will accept this situation as ‘Eud and Truth’ rather than ‘Phoenix and Metri’.

In other words - at least now that Wood has threatened, he has no intention of doing his favor.

And it wasn't that True's words were wrong.

Even if it was a faction battle or an attack that was clearly aimed at opposing the opponent.

If we fight properly in the official match, neither Eud nor Truth can be counted on that. It is a student's right.

“……Then that’s it.”

“Aww.”

Eud's index finger collided with Truth's forehead.

Is it stronger than usual night time? Truth had to rub his forehead for a while.

Soon after, Wood lifts her fist, and Lenny Anne gently releases her hand.

“I’m sorry, Lenianne.”

Eud put her apple to Lenny Anne and nodded her head slightly.

No matter how much he meant to warn, Wood was even more sorry for waving a fist at his brother in front of him.

Then Lenianne-

“My brother didn’t do anything particularly well.” (Dori-dori)

She shook her head as if okay.

Seeing the younger sister and boy like that, Truth shrugged once more.

“- Oh right. Because Jax isn't doing anything particularly bad anymore. He doesn't even want to touch that."

“Do whatever you want......”

“Ahaha, be cool.”

At Eud's relentless reply, Truth grinned.

“By the way, Eud. You and the noonas, are you going to any events this time around?”

"event?"

“It’s a constitutional amendment holiday. Most of them will be led by the royal family of the royal capital, or the ‘Worth Lane faction’ with a ties to the royal family.”

The third aristocratic 'Worth Lane' after Metri and Griffiner.

It is a tenth-generation noble force that has inherited the blood of the royal family through marriage with the royal family in the past.

Thanks to that, it has its own ranking for succession to the throne.

Two factions led by golden knights.

And it is a family with a different foundation than the neutral Phoenix.

“But is there an event?”

“Of course it is. because it's an anniversary Of course, it is limited to the royal road where the Supreme Court is located. It's just a holiday for us Metrius and Phoenicians. ...I remember hearing that Gareth-sama participated last year or the year before?”

As Eud sat down, he pondered Truth's words.

"Ah."

“Eud?”

Lenny Anne tilted her head next to her.

“……I think my father also went to the event.”

"right? My father always participates in the event, even if it is short.”

Then, soon, Eud realizes why he didn't remember right away.

‘My father always went out one day during the holidays…’

As it is a holiday, the employees' work is minimized and the off-duty is considerably increased.

Therefore, during the holidays, many Phoenixes would go shopping together with Lorona as the head.

....... Except for Gareth, who had an outside job even during the holidays.

If I remember, it was said that he went to the royal road every time at that time.

Maybe it's because of Gareth's personality...

While participating in the event, he must have been deliberately arguing so that his family and users could rest comfortably.

Eud wanted to make a lot of time with Gareth this holiday season.

“First of all, neither me nor my sisters were told to participate in the event. So, Truth, Lenian, what about you?”

“We have been participating voluntarily as a family policy from the old days.”

“…I don’t want to go to the royal capital. far. Oh, but Bernard will probably go.”

Lenny Anne said as she pulled Wood's hair back in an imperceptible way.

“Because Bernard is continuing the role of his father’s assistant. ...Really, I respect the second older brother as well.”

Bernard is the second of four children.

He is effectively deprived of the chance of succession to Truth, with him as Metri's eldest son.

Is it still a bad relationship? Speaking of his second older brother, Truth put on a rather warm expression.

According to the truth, the golden knights did not want to reveal their friendship with the royal family in the first place.

“Because I emphasized the relationship too much for nothing, and it’s annoying if the checks increase.”

"right......"

Isn't this something I felt deeply in the grave cave incident three years ago?

Perhaps the reason Gareth doesn't take the children to royal road events is-

Maybe it's because he doesn't want to reveal much about his relationship with the current king.

No matter how much the current king and Gareth are childhood friends, on the surface, the relationship between the royal family and the noble family must always be there.

To show ‘I don’t care much about the royal family’, only Gareth is moving on purpose.

As a golden knight, Gareth, who was always checked, was thorough every time in that respect. Deut would be the same.

‘Because that was too cumbersome, Liquia-sama completely stopped socializing.’

As his aristocratic life grew longer and longer, Eud grew more and more sympathetic to Liquia.

“Anyway, I’m going to stay at the mansion for the holidays. This time, 'Artnox' also joined the faction. We should see each other face-to-face once. Eud, aren't yours the same?"

The fact that Anat was heading to the Phoenix mansion was something that Truth had already anticipated.

“More than anything… you too have to tell me about this fog.”

At True's words, Lenian reacted slightly.

A little force enters into her grasp, playing with Ewood's head.

And from the tone of Truth, Eud could feel that he was 'slightly grasping the situation'.

He did not think that the last fog avalanche was a malfunction of the field barrier.

As a possessor of magic eyes, wouldn't it be more natural to notice?

but......

Eud wanted the truth to know more.

Because this Heo Yeon is always like that.

“Truth you. How much do you know?”

When Eud asked it quietly,

“It’s… a secret. In the beginning, we still-”

Truth scratched his forehead, which had just been hit, and smiled.

"- We're just being friendly. Isn't it the same way?"

Eud wanted to start by saying, ‘We’re just getting along’.

Lenny Anne breathes a sigh of relief to her older brother.

After some more chatter, Truth drank the tea Eud had served and got up.

“Then, Eud. Take care of your train tickets for the holidays. Keep your time well. Phoenician and Metrius. There aren't as many trains running on the royal road yet. Do you suffer if you miss the train?”

“Don’t worry about unnecessary things. You should take good care of yourself. Lenian, take care.”

“Ticket reservation is at 6 o’clock, and Oltera has already prepared a special room for the room, so it’s no problem~ I always take care of Lenianne.”

“I can travel alone without my brother.”

Lenian said as if she didn't need True's backing.

She then stops flirting with Ewood's hair.

“Eud, tea, well done.”

“I haven’t done a lot of getting off the car, is that okay?”

"it was tasty."

Lenny Anne nodded her head to Ewood.

Eud touched Lenian's head like that.

Maybe it's because of the atmosphere that is awkward and can't be hated too much.

Eud couldn't always be as harsh as Lenian.

At Eud stroking her, Lenny Anne bows her head slightly and turns towards her Truth.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

And just before he went down, Truth turned his head towards the closed office door.

“Suga, too. ‘Anat Torrand’ too. Have a good holiday. Oh, Suga. The refreshments I brought as gifts are quite sweet, so black tea would be good.”

At those words, there was a rattling noise from the office.

Eud also looks towards the office and smiles weakly.

A little later, after the two brothers and sisters left the hideout-

Eud went up to the drawing room on the second floor again.

“Why were you hiding, you two…?”

"We didn't mean to do that...it was just to get the timing to go out..."

“I’m sorry, Master Eud……”

Two women, Anat and Suga, came out gloomy from Eud's faction office.

“No, we were just going to have a drink together when you came to the office, Eud...? You are the first to finish today's lecture... Oh, why are you laughing?!”

Something like Meru & Aru a few days ago, Eud laughed.

“I didn’t know that Truth-sama and Lenian-sama had come together……”

Well, maybe Suga's words were completely wrong.

A whopping 10 aristocratic guests came.

Then when you open the door late to the drawing room and sneak out......

That's a very ambiguous appearance as a nobleman or user.

Especially since Suga is in charge of the professor. It must have come out so openly.

Even though Truth and Lenian aren't the ones to say anything about it.

“But how the heck did you know we were there, true bastard……”

Anat mumbled nonsense.

Certainly, it is not unreasonable that Anat was surprised.

Hiding the presence of Anat and Suga is a skill that even Eud cannot easily recognize.

The first thing that Eud noticed was that he had deliberately sensed the presence of the 'very faint scent of refreshment'.

What kind of method did Truss use? He knew, like Ewood, that there were already two.

Perhaps Lenian had also sensed it roughly.

Like that....

It seemed like he was very familiar with the usual way of detecting someone's presence.

Suga then brought a refreshment tray that appeared to have been prepared earlier.

A tray-shaped magic item that warms water is placed on top, and cooled tea is placed on top to reheat it.

“Hey there, Eud.”

"Yeah. ...Anat-senpai?”

Anat ran her fingers back and forth and said embarrassedly.

"......Thanks."

"Ah."

You warned Truth about Anat earlier. you're talking about it

“What do you have?”

Eud said as he ate the refreshments insignificantly.

Of course, Anat's side says, "Ha, haha, that's right."

Thanks to the constant brushing, Anat's curly hair was starting to become more curly than usual.

Seeing the two masters and the young lady, Suga smiled involuntarily.

Seeing Eud and Anat getting along well is a sight that makes Suga really feel at ease.

“That’s right, Suga.”

“Yes, Master Eud.”

To Eud's call, Suga answered with a warm smile.

“If it’s a train ticket, I already have everything, even the members’ ones-”

“No, there is, too. …Did DS and Jessica have any overlapping interests?”

“-Suck.”

Suga's face, who was smiling warmly, was momentarily agitated.
