Infinite Gacha - Chapter 245

"Oh, brother!　What are you doing?

Lilith appears in the training area with a blue face.

She knows my true position, and her face says, 'You're going to make Mr. Wright kneel or something!　If you touch Kanki, you'll physically make the racial kingdom disappear!" It said.

(You don't have to be in such a hurry, I wouldn't be outraged by all this ......)

Lilith's brother, Claw, on the other hand, looked away with a reluctant face.

undefinedLilith first addresses us, then turns to her brother.

Please stand up, ladies and gentlemen. I was worried when I saw you were not with me at all, and I didn't realize that you had been brought to this place. ...... brother, you will give me a proper explanation, won't you?

Lilith moves to cover us as we stand up and looks at her brother.

Claud was reluctant at first, but then turned to Lilith as if to reopen his eyes.

'I apologize for taking out your potential escorts without your permission,......, but as their older brother, it's only natural that you're worried about their skills, isn't it?　I asked her to come to the training center so that we could test her to see if she could really serve as my pretty sister's bodyguard."

No test is necessary," he said. They are A-level adventurers. Are you going to question the Adventurers' Guild's rank review?"

I'm not going to ...... be stingy. But without actually seeing them with your own eyes, it's natural to be concerned about their ability to serve as an escort, isn't it?　And if I'm not good enough, I'm going to ask you to leave."

(I see...so ...... claw's aim was to have Lilith take an overwhelmingly unfavorable test before she arrived, evaluate her as 'not competent enough and unfit to be an escort', and then turn her away. (That's shallow.)

But along the way, he was won over by Nemum's good looks and picked on her.

It seems that he forgot his original purpose and allowed Lilith to intervene.

Generally speaking, we are not so weak that a little disadvantageous conditions can't help us.

I had been thinking about Claude's intentions for a long time, mistakenly thinking that he had something else in mind, but it turns out that this prince was in fact just a thoughtless person.

While I was dumbfounded, the siblings continued to argue.

I had your father's approval for their escort!　Your brother has no right to interfere!

What is the right of a brother to be concerned about his sister?　Or are they so weak that Lilith is worried they won't pass the test I put them through?"

That's not possible!　First of all, their competence is guaranteed by the Adventurers' Guild in the form of their ranks!

As I said before, I don't mean to be stingy with the Adventurers' Guild's rank review process. I'm just trying to be a good brother.

Their argument becomes emotional and the topic becomes repetitive.

Claus did not want us to go to the Sixth Duchy Conference as we had been in and out of "Giant Tower Town".

I raised one hand and asked for permission.

I raised one hand and asked for permission, "May I make a suggestion?"

'La--Mr. Dirk!　It's okay. I will convince my brother!"

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid we can't proceed at this point." We will be discussing the safety of Lilith-sama's protection later on, so I think it would be faster if you took a test to make sure that Claw-sama is comfortable with it.

"...... tsk!"

Brother?"

When I suggested this, Claw was in a blatantly bad mood and clicked his tongue.

It seems that he doesn't like the fact that I, to whom Nemmu has devoted her soul, am giving my opinion. It seems that Claw really likes Nemmu.

Lilith, who is not fully aware of the situation, is puzzled by her brother's attitude.

But since no one explained, Lilith looked at me and Claw again and again.

In order to continue the conversation, I again urge Lilith.

Lilith-sama, please make a decision.

Mr. Dirk ...... understands. I give you permission to take the test."

Thank you, Lilith. Now I can make sure you, my sister, are safe."

............"

While Claud made a fresh smile, Lilith made a pained expression.

However, as I suggested, time is finite.

Since I wanted to quickly smooth out the escort, Lilith proceeded with the conversation.

I want to talk with Mr. Dirk and the others about the escort as soon as possible. So even if I say it's a test, I will refuse if it takes too long.

I know. I will give you a test that will be short and that will show you how good you are. That's why I asked you to come all the way to this training ground.

...... brother, what are you going to make Mr. Dirk and the others do?"

Lilith squints and asks her own brother.

He told her with a good look on his face.

I'm going to have you fight a mock battle with our soldiers to see if you are really capable of escorting Lilith. This will be a quick test, and everyone will be able to see how good you are.

The soldiers were behind Clough, and it seems that they were brought in not only to escort him, but also to test him.

Gold and Nemum agree with his suggestion.

It's certainly an easy test to understand."

It's not only easy to understand, but it's also a good way to release some of the stress I've been feeling because I've been feeling a lot of resentment.

Gold nods while stroking his chin, and Nemmu smiles suspiciously and snaps her fingers.

(Gold notwithstanding, if you let Nemmu fight, you're going to cause unnecessary damage. ...... I understand that he's got a lot of resentment about being messed with by the claw, but we have to stop him from needlessly causing human casualties, because it would make the story more complicated.)

If there are any deaths, it will be somewhat troublesome.

We need to nail Nemum before that happens.

Claw's smile deepened as he took my concerns aside.

I appreciate your agreement, but I'm not going to let you and Nemmu in your golden armor join us. The only person you'll be tested against is that kid over there."

...... just me?"

I can't help but respond to the unexpected suggestion.

To this, Lilith waited.

Wait a minute, brother!　Why only Mr. Dirk?　Their "Black Clown" party, that is, all three of them, will be my bodyguards, right?　Despite this, it is unacceptable to test only Mr. Dirk!"

What do you mean? What do you mean?" "You should be more worried about a child like him being assigned as an escort, let alone a young man like him and Nemmu. The guards are not only about competence, but also about appearance. If a child like him were to be Lilith's escort, he might be underestimated and attacked by those around him. And if he is not good enough, how can he be entrusted with his precious little sister?

The strongest person in the "Black Clown" party is Mr. Dirk, although your brother seems to be mistaken. If Mr. Gold and Mr. Nemm are all right, then there is no need for Mr. Dirk.

Han!"　Children are the strongest, etc.!　Lilith, if you're going to lie to avoid the test, you're going to have to lie better than that. You can't even fool me with this!"

Claw looks back behind him, laughing like a fool.

The racial soldiers behind him also follow his lead, letting out a mocking sneer.

Their reaction is not hard to understand.

If they didn't know any better, they would think that Gold, an adult male, and Nemmu, an adult female, were the strongest of the "Black Clown" party.

In fact, I would be stronger even if I fought everyone here at the same time, including Gold and Nemmu. ......

Lilith is unable to clear up the misunderstanding between her brother Claus and the others, and she is left scratching her head.

Naturally, not only Nemm, but even Gold is displeased with Claw's attitude of taking me lightly.

Before any problems can arise, I speak up to get the conversation going.

I say, "Yes, sir. Let's start the test right away. Who do you want me to fight?

Mr. Dirk!

Hm, you have an auspicious attitude. Well, let's begin the examination. Follow me."

Claw laughs like a fool and urges me to walk away with only his chin.

I followed him to the center of the training center.
