The Adventurer Reincarnated into Another World - 210-Chapter 14-6 Runaway on the diagonal

Are you sure about this?

It’s all right. It was all Tida’s fault.

When we headed to the party venue, we had to wait before the entrance. They enter the venue in order of performance, but I heard that the order can change when royalty are enrolled in the party. This time, as a royal, Tida was the second best performer, Amy suggested that she give up her turn, but Master Caesar refused before Tida did. It’s a good thing that you’re not going to have a problem with the order, because Teeda didn’t want to be given up last, but afterwards, Isabella-sama said, “I’m not going to let you go.

‘But I really wanted Tida to do her best to get first. I used to long to be the last student to enter, but I didn’t get first… and if Tida couldn’t, then Luna… hey?

Those words made Luna angry and protest… but…

If you are going to get angry with me, you should at least study more seriously. I don’t blame you if you don’t do your best, but you’re always complaining about not doing your best.

On the contrary, they were angry and realized their disadvantage and quickly retreated to their own classes. By the way, as for the kings’ final grades in the middle school, the king is number three, Maria is number one, Caesar is number one, Isabella is number five, Zain is number two, Misalia is number ten, Lyle is number three, and Ernest is number two. The order of Lyle-sama was higher than I had expected, but it seems that Lyle was a relatively well-educated man who was capable of becoming the Minister of War. I’ve heard that Grandpa was the best one after Ernest.

The next in line for this year’s class is Tida von Bluemail Crustin. Enter.

The students began to enter as they were listening to their grandfather’s story. And before they could finish speaking, Tida’s name was called and the three of them entered the hall with Tida in the lead.

‘If Tida has been called, then we’re almost there… are you ready?

Yes!

Our headliner this year, Amy. Entry.

Almost as soon as Amy answered, Amy’s name was called out. Like Caesar-sama and Isabella-sama, me and Grandpa were about to enter in line a little behind Amy, when for some reason Grandpa took out his usual wand. As expected, the staff waiting nearby came to warn us not to bring in anything that could be used as a weapon, but Grandpa

‘You want an old man to walk without a cane?　There are many people in this room who can use magic that is even more dangerous than a wand that could be used as a weapon. The parents of the students who came before me were wearing ornaments such as hair bands and bracelets that were once used as weapons.

I forced him to agree to bring his cane into the house. Seeing my grandfather like that, I thought to myself.

(You can cheat an ornament as not being a weapon, but you can’t say it’s not a weapon because the wand Grandpa uses is the one he beat up the wyvern with… and he’s walked this far without it in the first place.

And so on, but I also thought it would be just as good for intimidation, since there was a chance that the students who were targeting Aimee might make some kind of move at the party, so I dared to keep my mouth shut.

Once again, I lined up behind Aimee, and when the door was opened and I entered the hall, there was a murmur from the participants who noticed Grandpa’s wand, as expected. However, no one complained directly to Grandpa, and although he called out teachers and others nearby, they couldn’t seem to stop us from questioning him until we stopped walking, and we easily arrived at the place that had been prepared for Aimee.

”Well then, let the party begin. Your Majesty, I would like to ask for a toast.”

Hmm. Here’s to a brighter future for all of you.

The party began with a toast from the king. The king and Maria will be back soon after this. Originally, they weren’t planning to join the party, but they decided to stay until the party started because they came all this way. The reason for not staying until the end is because there would be too many royals if they were to join up with two people, which might make it difficult for some students to enjoy themselves, and most importantly, Tida and Caesar-sama would not be able to stand out from the crowd.

”Grandpa, we’ve been attracting a lot of attention earlier, haven’t we?”

Well. There’s some of us who want us and some of the boys who want Amy, so let’s just grab a bite to eat at the end of the hall.

‘Well Amy, do you want to eat at the end?　It’s too conspicuous in here.

Amy seemed to know that she was getting a lot of attention, and she nodded in agreement with me. It’s a good idea to make sure you’re in the right place at the right time.

It looks like they’re fighting each other. They don’t want to displease us by making contact at the front of the pack.

I hope they can keep fighting each other. Oh, and I’ll take this with me.

You take care of mine.

I was collecting delicious-looking food as we moved around, and I filled my plate to the brim. Some of the nobles who saw this were laughing at me outright…

‘Brother, this is good too!

Luna appeared with more plates full than me and my grandpa, and she quickly fled out of sight from us.

”The concession stand didn’t have anything that good, but this one is only for party food, so it’s all good.”

When I was there, there wasn’t much food in the cafeteria or the shop. I used to sneak out of the school and go to a restaurant in town.

Heh~ The food in the cafeteria is pretty good too. But my brother’s food is better.

‘A lot of cafeteria food is a bit expensive. It’s a lot of work every day, but it’s cheaper to make it yourself.

Even though he’s a commoner, even Amy, who earns a good amount of money from her koochie yarn and adventurer activities, says that it’s not food from the cafeteria every day. When I asked her if she’s financially challenged, she said

No, we have some cheap food but it’s not very good.

That’s what they say. He said he only eats good food once in a while, and he would rather eat it for a reasonable price than eat it for cheap. And if he would rather eat cheap and unappetizing food, he would choose to cook for himself, where he could eat what he wanted for less money than that.

‘Oops!’

As I was talking with Amy and the others, I suddenly heard a loud noise coming from very close by. The culprit was my grandfather. He had dropped his wand.

‘I’m sorry about this,’

Grandpa spoke words of apology to the people around him, but he didn’t seem to be very remorseful. Because Grandpa dropped his wand on purpose.

The reason why Grandpa dropped his wand on purpose was because more than one boy was trying to get close to Amy. Probably because he saw that Luna was the first to approach Amy, and that they were talking amicably afterwards, he thought he could pretend to say hello to Luna and approach Amy now. To take the sting out of it, Grandpa dropped his wand and made a loud noise.

He dropped his wand and let out a loud noise, “Flies, or whatever you want to call them, are cowards. “There are a lot of flies, a lot of cowards, who have the guts to surrender at the slightest threat,” he said.

He may not have heard his grandfather’s muttered voice, but one of the boys approached with an imposing gait… and then it was Tida.

‘Temma-san, do you mind if I mix in here?’

As long as you’re okay with Amy, I’m cool with it.

As she said this, Tida looked at Amy with a slightly worried look on her face. Aimee laughed and mixed Tida into the conversation…….but behind Aimee, Luna was frantically opposing her, making a batting with both arms. Well, Aimee couldn’t see it because it was happening behind her, and Tida ignored it as a matter of course, so Luna’s opposition came up empty.

Tida’s participation seemed to make it even harder for the other boys to get close to her, and some of them gave up and headed for the other girls. However, the number of onlookers, which seemed to have decreased thanks to the boys who had given up, was increasing due to the new female students who were aiming for Tida, and also the atmosphere was starting to deteriorate a bit as the fights between the female students began.

In the midst of this atmosphere, Luna seemed to have found someone and began to beckon to them. However, even if she beckoned, the person she wanted to know didn’t seem to come, so she ran to call them directly. And then he brought her with him.

Big brother, he’s my friend.

It was a few girls. Luna’s friends seemed quite nervous and uncomfortable.

”It’s okay. My brother and grandpa and Amy are (s)kind.

Luna deliberately didn’t mention Tida’s name, but Tida seemed to know that she couldn’t be upset with Luna here, and on the surface she greeted Luna’s friends with a smile, but her eyes sharpened for a moment as she looked at Luna when her friends weren’t looking.

‘Do you mind if we join them?’

As I was talking with Luna’s friends for a while… or rather, answering questions, Caesar-sama and Isabella-sama arrived this time. In addition, because my bodyguard’s kinsmen also arrived, the population density around me increased at once. Because of this, Luna’s friends, who had begun to relax, were once again becoming restless. Later, the parents of Luna’s friends noticed that their children were acting strangely, and after greeting Master Caesar, they collected their own children. The other students who were watching the scene came to greet Caesar-sama with their own parents and started to talk to Amy, Tida, and me.

I tried to answer as politely as possible to the students who were talking to me, asking for their impressions and questions about the matches and martial arts competitions I just had, but the ones who came with requests (…) to recommend themselves to Amy and Tida, or to introduce themselves in a good way, I turned them away before they could finish everything. I was.

Even I had been asked to introduce them to Amy and Tida, so several times as many students as had come to me came to talk to them in turn.

Tida looked comfortable talking to them, but Amy was somewhat awkward. As if they noticed Amy’s behavior, the boys who were talking to her were trying to force her to make some kind of promise. But.

I’m just going to borrow Amy. Amy, let’s go.

Luna stepped between Amy and the boys and tried to take Amy out of the room somewhere. The boys tried to stop Luna as if to warn her that it was rude to take her out of the side of the room without permission in the middle of a conversation, but…

‘Wouldn’t it be rude to question why a girl would leave in the middle of a conversation?　Besides, I don’t think we should force him to go along with the story.

And with that, he took Amy out of the party hall as it was.

The remaining boys were laughed at by the other students and were taken away somewhere by their parents who looked flustered. The parents started to panic while they were talking to Caesar-sama, so I think Caesar or Isabella-sama said something to them. The reason why Luna took Amy out I think it was to take her to the bathroom. However, that was a construction, and it was probably really a false reason to separate her from that male student, but even so, the people around her would have thought that she was ‘humiliating a woman’ or ‘a dull man who doesn’t realize he’s being harassed’ or something like that.

”Hmm… come to think of it, so much time has gone by before I knew it.

Yes.

Caesar-sama spoke to Isabella-sama just as the boys and their parents disappeared, and since they began to talk together, the students and their parents, who had been watching the situation from afar, lost the opportunity to speak to Caesar-sama.

”Thanks for your help. Shall I get something for you?”

‘I’ve always been, but I think Temma is the one who’s tired.　Yeah, I’ll have the waiter bring the drinks, so Temma won’t have to go all the way.

‘Yes. I wonder if it was harder for Temma to get used to it than it was for us?　You’re a little airheaded, you’ve been going to Temma’s.

As the students’ parents were gone, I went over to Caesar-sama and Isabella-sama and spoke to them, and they responded in a friendly manner. And Isabella-sama, in a voice that was barely audible to everyone around her, warned the students and their parents who asked me to introduce them to Amy or Tida (…), so the students and their parents, who had some idea of what was going on, moved away to the other side of the room where we were.

”Is that pretty much enough to keep the idiots away?

I hope so.

‘I’m sure they’re still around, but there must be fewer of them. By the way, Tida and Grandpa….

While I was talking to the two of them, Tida and Grandpa didn’t join the conversation, and I wondered what was wrong with them, and I noticed that they didn’t join the conversation there either, so they joined me and looked around.

‘So Grandpa’s just going to look at the food and drink. But Tida….

What are you doing?

That’s the direction Luna and Amy were headed, right?

Tida stared at the direction Amy and Luna were headed, with a difficult look on her face.

‘Well, there are no annoying people around right now, so I guess we can leave them alone.

Caesar-sama said so, and Isabella-sama agreed to let him do what he wanted for a while, so I decided to leave him alone, too. A short time later, Grandpa came back with a pile of food, so I continued to talk about it with Caesar-sama and the others, picking at the things he had brought with him.

‘Hmm?　Looks like Amy and Luna are back.

About an hour after Amy and Luna had disappeared, they finally returned. Tida was relieved to see them back and breathed a deep sigh of relief.

‘Luna, you’re late,’

I was just talking to a friend.

Luna hadn’t taken Aimee to the bathroom, after all, she was not taking her to the bathroom, but rather to get her away from that persistent male student, but besides that, she had promised her friends that she had talked to before Master Caesar arrived that she would go see them at some point. At first he had planned to slip out on Luna alone, but when he was on the verge of slipping out, he was curious about Amy too, so he said, “Well, you can take her with you then! ……..and he thought.

Amy told me that her friends who were waiting for her when she snuck out were surprised to see her, but they had heard a lot about her from Luna and welcomed her with open arms. However, it seems that they were asked a lot of questions, and in the end they even decided to promise to watch them study next time.

‘But they were all good kids, so it was easy to talk to them.

It seems that all of Luna’s friends are the children of nobles, but since they are Luna’s friends, they don’t have any discriminatory thoughts.

”It’s nice to have a good junior colleague.

Yes!

Amy replied happily when she said that, and Luna was pleased that her friend had been complimented.

‘Well, if that’s the reason you said that, then I suppose it’s no wonder it was so late. It must have been hard for those girls to stay because of me and Isabella.

Just when you thought the story was going to go on like that, Amy and Luna joined in.

Amy, do you have a minute?

Tida, who had been waiting the longest for Amy, spoke to her with a serious look on her face.

‘Well what’s wrong?’

Aimee seemed to be somewhat confused by Tida’s serious expression, but she quickly agreed and turned to Tida.

”Could it be that she……..isn’t she going to confess?

By the looks of it, I think it might be.

In this place?

Quiet. I think Tida’s going in.

As she was speaking in a whisper so that Tida and Aimee couldn’t hear her, Tida looked at Aimee with a look of determination on her face after a few deep breaths, just as Grandpa had said. Incidentally, Luna looked dissatisfied when Caesar-sama and Isabella-sama caught her as she was about to interrupt Tida’s actions, as if she was trying to interrupt Tida and Aimee. And.

Amy I want you to marry me!

Tida’s confession was so oblique to us that the participants who were watching Tida and Aimee’s situation, including us, froze together.

And then it was Amy who was confessed…or rather Amy who was the most confused and froze, as if she had forgotten to even blink.
