His expression was seen and a bad feeling surged into Ririana’s mind. There wasn’t a touching atmosphere like a while ago, Ririana felt her cheeks cramping up. Hajime quietly drew his mouth close to Ririana’s ear.
[And also, I’ll make it so that you can understand easier. I’m insensitive, so I might end up doing something carelessly]
[~........]
Ririana’s body shook with a shock. Though there was the breath and voice coming down onto her ear, it’s because she understood what Hajime was implying.
In other words, “I’ll Help you”. Ririana’s heart was shaken intensely. The princess within Ririana began to shout. This marriage is an obligation that should be fulfilled. That’s why, I wanted you to cast away that girl who held onto those dreams in one strike.Then.
[Why?], in another sense acting upon cruel treatment, or perhaps it was due to her joy that her eyes moistened up towards Hajime, Hajime acted as if it was nothing, in another sense, he replied without reading the atmosphere and gave the worst response possible.
[The Princess is unfortunate, to be feeling bad for those guys]
Hajime said so and glanced over towards Kaori and them. In brief, their purpose was not exactly for Ririana’s sake, although Hajime said, Ririana was unfortunate, he seemed to also imply don’t hurt my “Important” people*This line was quite shaky for me, it was either this or he was being a tsundere, or he was implying that she wasn’t important?*. Ririana guessed so and stared at Hajime.
[Isn’t that, too much of a lie even if it’s coming from you? We’ll, surely fall?]
[What are you going do if it happens? Ma~a, for the time being, it’s just necessary to think that the worst outcome that you’ve thought of won’t be happening. As long as you’re important friends of these fellows, that is]
[......Nagumo-san’s resolution doesn’t shake huh……..truly, I’m envious of Yue-san]
Ririana watches Hajime with a hateful expression. Hajime was indifferent towards it and glanced right back. Then finally the end of the music was coming up. Hajime looked unfazed, Ririana who eventually gave up, [Fuu~], breathed outwards and leaned her body onto Hajime, she decided to at least momentarily enjoy the dance for now.
And while leaving a lingering sound, the music stopped, Ririana reluctantly parted her body away, and for a while kept their hands held together while quietly staring at Hajime……[Thank you] she muttered. With a lovely smile just like a flower that was fully bloomed.
It was simply the smile of a 14-year-old girl. A smile that was so pure that it didn’t have any impurities, it pierced through all the hearts of the people who saw it. A sigh filled with heat could be heard somewhere. And, after a while, a grand applause which didn’t lose against Yue’s dance from a while ago resounded. It appears that Ririana only danced with the other people simply because it was required, Hajime separated from her and returned alone, and the eyes of ladies greeted him.
[Hajime-kun’s a woman killer…..]
[.......Hajime-san, when on earth did you…...I can’t let down my guard at all]
[No~o, Master. I got a little wet from the neglecting play, is it alright for me to change my underwear?]
[This has to do with those assault remarks from a while ago right. …..You said something about helping out Riri during a dangerous time, did you plan on dealing the finishing blows during the dance? Ne~e, what exactly did you whisper to her? To begin with, isn’t Riri a married woman now? Do you understand? Ne~e, do you understand? Nagumo-kun?]
[Hawawa, Nagumo-kun, finally you’ve obtained the NETORI*taking another person’s lover* attribute…….you’re too much of an adult. You’ve well exceeded Suzu’s capacity]
A number of perverted remarks were mixed in, equally, towards the female group that was bad mouthing him and Ririana, [What are you talking about], he said with an amazed expression.
Hajime began talking, he helped out while he was passing by, then danced only because it was requested of him. Afterwards, because Kaori and them would be concerned, he only informed them the minimum amount about how he helped.
There was no intentions of persuading them in any way. And if by chance, to the hundredth millionth decimal, that Ririana fell in love with Hajime, Hajime himself gave off a [Like I care?] feeling.
For now, just to be sure, he turned his gaze towards Yue to not misunderstand it, Yue understood and gripped onto Hajime’s hand in assent while nodding her head, as expected Yue was different from them, his love for Yue knew no bounds and rose way beyond the universe. It must have been his imagination that her grip was stronger than usual.
------HQ, this is Zulu. Suppression of Point Z is complete
------Notify the entire force, this is HQ, all arrangements have been completed. Start the countdown.
Shia’s expression stiffened up a little as she heard the communication. Kaori had a slightly tensed expression as well. Shizuku and them who were not given the Telepathy stone (Improved Ver.), only looked at the 2 with suspicious expressions. Moreover, Gaharudo often went up onto the platform on a daily bases and kept glancing towards Hajime and them. This time it appears that he was going to give out a speech and a toast in celebration.
[Now then, first of all, let me express our gratitude for having joined us on this party which serves as a celebration for Princess Ririana visiting our country as well as being engaged with my son. There were many various surprises and it indeed became an interesting event]
Then Gaharudo turned a meaningful glance towards Hajime. Hajime was pretending to not know. Gaharudo’s expression seems to convey that it’s become even more interesting.
At the same time, a resolute voice was heard from Hajime’s telepathy stone.
------To all troops. This is Alpha One. From this point on we will put an end to this persecution we’ve suffered through for hundreds of years, we will carve our names into the history of this world. Our name will be used as the pronunciation of fear. This place is the intersection of fate. Will we fall into hell or advance towards the future, everything depends on this one battle. There’s no need to hold back. Sa~a, we’ll show them just how weak our claws and fangs are
------10, 9, 8…….
------Boss. For leading us into this battle, we deeply appreciate it.
Hajime and them heard the Usagininzoku’s countdown which concerned their fates.
The aristocrats of the Empire doesn’t suspect a thing.
the speeches of the 2 different races overlapped with one another.
[The party has only just begun. Tonight, eat a lot, drink a lot, and dance as much as your heart pleases. It will become the best blessings for my son and daughter-in-law. Sa~a, raise your cups!]
As Gaharudo confirmed that everyone in the hall held up their cups, he poured himself wine to the very brim of his cup. And, with his breath taking initiative with a ~Suu~ breathing in with ambition.
The other side of the telepathy also, once again similarly.
------Get fired up! Let’s go!!!
------[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [Ou~!!!] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
------4, 3, 2, 1…….
And, the countdown has finally----
[The unity of humanity will become stronger with this marriage! There is nothing to fear! We are the glorious Human race!]
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [For Glory!!] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
------0. I wish you great fortune in war.
At that moment.
All lights vanished and the hall was swallowed by darkness.
