  Chapter 332: The Knight {TL: By Creed} The next morning. "…Hmm, I don’t feel like I slept very well." Sofia and Lena had been arguing late into the night. Trying to mediate between them had completely exhausted me… By the time I finally managed to fall asleep, it was already past midnight. No wonder I didn’t feel well-rested. "Alright… there we go." Everyone was still asleep. It looked like I was the first one to wake up. I didn’t want to wake them, so I quietly left the room. I stepped outside and took in a deep breath of the fresh morning air. "Mm—… haah. What a nice morning." There were already quite a lot of people outside. People like me, who had come out to get some fresh air. People jogging. People preparing for work. Maybe it was because this was the royal capital, but there were so many people. And every one of them wore a smile, ready to do their best today. It was a very peaceful scene. But… "There are people trying to...

  Chapter 331 A little bit {TL: By Creed} “...And that’s about it, I guess?” Lena spread out a map of the royal capital on the table and pointed to several locations. She was showing us the hideouts of the Dawn Alliance, but… “Isn’t that… too many?” “So they have more than ten hideouts…?” “Honestly, this probably isn’t even all of them. I was in a fairly decent position, but it’s not like they told me everything. There are probably more hideouts and safe houses that I don’t know about.” “And how many does that make in total?” “Hmmm… including safe houses, maybe around fifty?” “Fi—…” The number was beyond imagination. I was completely at a loss for words. “Among those, where is their main base?” “Sorry, I don’t know that.” “Even you don’t know?” “I haven’t been attending meetings lately… and after what happened when I fought you two, they probably suspect I might betray them. Even if I showed up, I doubt they’d tell me where the main base is.” “What do you mean? T...

  Chapter 330: I want to start over {TL: By Creed} I was able to make peace with Lena. We became friends. That made me really happy, but… I couldn’t just celebrate without thinking ahead. “What will you do now, Lena?” Even though we became friends, it didn’t seem like Lena had left the Dawn Alliance. Which meant that we might end up as enemies again… “Hm… I don’t mind helping you, Fate. You came to the royal capital to settle things with the Dawn Alliance, right?” ““Huh?”” Her words were so unexpected that even Sofia and I both let out surprised voices. “I-Is that okay…?” “Are you going to betray your comrades?” I was stunned. Sofia shot her a sharp look. Meanwhile, Licorice, Aisha, and Snow were taking a post-meal nap. Honestly… I couldn’t tell whether this situation was peaceful or not. “Betray…? I guess I just want to set things right.” Lena gave a bitter smile… A truly pained expression as she continued. “When I fought you and Sofia back then… and got sc...

  Chapter 329: Friends {TL: By Creed} "I came to give you my answer from back then." Was that about what he said the last time we met… about wanting to be friends…? I couldn’t help but feel nervous. Sofia, who knew the situation, also had a serious expression. And as for Lena… "Ah, miss. I’ll have an orange juice." She casually placed an order. "Do you wish to be cut down?" "I was thirsty too, and when you come to a place like this, it’s only proper to order something, right!? So could you please stop reaching for your sword hilt with a smile!? I don’t have my magic sword right now, so I’d definitely lose!?" Overwhelmed by Sofia’s killing intent, Lena panicked like crazy. More importantly, just now… "You don’t have your magic sword?" "Um, ah… yeah." Lena nodded awkwardly, looking a bit uncomfortable. "When I have that thing, it kind of pulls my mind in a bad direction. Like, I get high, or my sense of ethics...

  Chapter 328: Hey there! {TL: By Creed} We secured a place to stay, so next was gathering information. However, this was enemy territory. If we moved too boldly, we might be discovered immediately, so we had to act carefully. So, as per the usual approach, we decided to gather information at the dining hall and tavern on the first floor. Had anyone seen any suspicious people lately? Had there been any strange incidents? Had anything unusual happened somewhere? We tried asking around, including information brokers, but… “No results, it seems…” Sofia returned to the table looking somewhat tired and took a sip of the drink she had ordered in advance. “Sorry, I couldn’t find anything noteworthy either…” “Kuh… the genius beautiful girl detective, Magical Miracle Lucky Happy Smile Licorice-chan, failing to get any results?!” Licorice said that in frustration, but since she was munching on a donut, she didn’t really look that upset. “Amu, hamu.” “Offu!” Aisha and Snow...

  Chapter 327: Entanglements {TL: By Creed} "Eh?" I hadn’t expected to be refused so easily, so I let out a rather dumbfounded sound without thinking. The serious demeanor from earlier was nowhere to be seen, and Cliff had already returned to his usual laid-back atmosphere. And then, he took another bite of his donut. "I’d like to help. But I can’t." "What do you mean by that?" "I told you, right? The Dawn Alliance has infiltrated even the Association. If we act carelessly, we’ll only put them on guard. In that case, it’s better not to do anything." "I see…?" It sounded reasonable… and yet not entirely. Which one was it? "If we move recklessly, we’ll just get crushed… so it’s not easy to take action." "I see…" I had been hoping Cliff would help… so it was disappointing. I felt a bit down. Seeing me like that, Cliff grinned. "Now, now, don’t jump to conclusions. It’s not like I won’t cooperate at al...

  Chapter 326: Taking the plunge {TL: By Creed} "What’s wrong?" Cliff noticed my hesitation and looked at me curiously. He was munching away on the donuts he had ordered extra. He didn’t look dignified at all… But I knew he was actually an incredibly capable and amazing person. Yeah. I don’t know how this will turn out, but I’ll try talking to him. "I have something important to discuss." "Hmm." Cliff put on a serious expression… …and then took a big bite of another chocolate donut. "Um… it’s a serious matter, you know." "I know. But you see, when you talk about serious things, you use your brain, right? And when you use your brain, you need sugar. That’s why I’m eating donuts like this. Nom. " He said it like it made perfect sense, but… is that really true? I couldn’t help but doubt it. "So, what’s this about?" "Ah, yes. It’s going to be a bit long, but actually…" I explained, to some extent, about t...
