chapter 290
290.Baron Johan Quartz Is Entering! (5)
Is there any?
I carefully looked around to see if there were any demons reacting to Karina’s baptism of divine power, but unfortunately, there was no one showing a noticeable reaction.
Did he not come, or did he get a feel for it and leave in advance? Either way, it’s a bit disappointing.
Considering that the demon named Sitri is nothing more than a mid-boss, it seemed like Karina’s baptism of divine power would have been enough to reveal her identity at once.
As expected, he didn’t seem to be such an easy opponent.
“This is the saint’s… “
“My body is light…”
“I can’t believe the hangover went away all at once…”
As I rolled my eyes and checked my surroundings, I saw that everyone was amazed by Karina’s divine power shower. Well, it’s a blessing from Karina, of course.
Unless you are seriously ill, you can get completely better with just one shower of her divine power.
“Is this the saint’s blessing? That’s amazing! My body, which had recently become heavy, has become lighter!”
“That’s too much praise.”
“Hehe, the saint of this generation is even humble.”
The emperor seemed to be in a very good mood, as if his arthritis had completely healed. The 1st prince sitting next to him looked a little upset.
What why what.
If you tease him, he’ll attack you.
“I heard you’ve been feeling unwell lately.”
“It’s no big deal, don’t worry. “I was just a little distressed.”
“I’ll see you later.”
Her emperor looked at her with a satisfied look on his face as Karina spoke her words. In her mind, she might be imagining that her condition is improving and she is flying around. Useless thoughts rolling through her head, rolling her eyes looking for the devil.
None.
Where has this bitch gone?
You didn’t come because you overslept, right?
It’s not possible to give blessings every hour. Karina I’m also worried about her body. No matter how healthy she has become, she can’t abuse her divine power like this.
…It’s so sad that I wanted to eat it raw and failed.
According to the original work, Citri was disguised as one of the five designated ladies, and we had to find it through deduction, but it’s a bit disappointing. I tried to find it by hitting her with her divine power without any troublesome reasoning.
Still, as a bitch on the cusp of becoming a great evil, she seemed to be quick to notice.
In this case, I would have no choice but to search for them one by one and compare them.
The problem is whether I can access it or not.
If you approach for no reason and raise awareness, it will cause a lot of trouble, so this must be done without anyone knowing. My head hurts as more and more troubling premises are added.
To put it bluntly, if you don’t come to this banquet, it will be difficult to catch Sitri.
For now, everything had to be bet on Sitri’s foolishness
Sitri! Please stop fooling around!
“… Held it back for too long. Sprouts of this country! Congratulations on your debut! You are the strong pillars of our empire and the talented people who will lead this country! This banquet is an opportunity to prove that you have truly become adults, so everyone…”
Are all older people’s speeches like this?
I sighed inwardly as I listened to the endless speeches that came out of the Emperor’s mouth. At first, it was quite painful, but as time went on, my ears started to hurt.
…I wonder if it lasted longer because I felt good after being showered with divine power.
It was definitely not like this in the original. Well, in the original, there wasn’t even such a shower of divine power…
“…Hehe, I felt so good that I spoke for a long time. Now, enjoy the banquet!”
With the emperor’s declaration, life returned to the banquet hall. Of course it wasn’t just me.
I immediately held Karina’s hand as she approached me and made eye contact with her. Karina asked, her face brimming with anticipation.
“John, shall we go dancing?”
“Of course.”
The banquet started with a dance party, so as the superstar of this banquet hall, it would be a good idea to dance first. Karina and I held hands and moved to the center of the banquet hall.
“…I’m a little nervous.”
“I’m nervous too.”
I can’t believe I’m dancing in front of so many people. This is something I couldn’t even imagine a year ago. I looked at Karina’s lovely face and continued her words.
“Don’t be nervous. A lot of people are watching us, but aren’t they just looking at us? There is no need to worry about those who cannot laugh at us or point out our mistakes.”
If there is someone who can say that we took a wrong step, he or she is either clueless or stupid. Oh, are they both the same thing? Anyway, we slowly took our stance and started taking steps as if we had been practicing for several days.
One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four…
“The practice room and the banquet hall have a completely different feel. “I feel like I’m flying even though I’m taking the same steps.”
“Amazing. I was thinking exactly the same thing.”
While chatting, we turn around. Karina’s body her her, which was naturally relying on me, also returned naturally. Her her beat her her slows slightly. Is it time for her to change her posture?
I carefully removed her left hand from her clasp and wrapped my arm around her waist.
“These clothes are so expensive that I’m afraid to even touch them.”
“Hehe, how many dresses has that person tailored for me?”
“If I can see you in a dress, that amount of money is no different from pennies.”
Clothes at this price? Even though I feel the same way, when I see Karina wearing a dress, I think it’s worth it. I made up my mind and ordered a few days’ worth of dresses, so I’ll have to wear another dress tomorrow.
“John is too direct.”
“I think I said enough.”
“I like that about John. It’s a bit disappointing that it’s passive.”
“I am also holding back.”
As someone who vaguely knows the future of this world, I could not even dare to predict what kind of butterfly effect a single mistake would have back on me. She nodded her head with a serious face and added with a smile in her eyes.
“I know. There is no time for Yohan to turn his attention to solving the cases that keep popping up. So, I too… Am going to be satisfied with what I have now. “There’s… A lot of time, right?”
“Sorry. “You can’t even make me feel at ease.”
“No. John makes me happy just by his presence. Increasing the number of women was a bit… But… “
“…Sorry. I didn’t know I would be this popular. Since we had already decided to take him, I didn’t want to see a rift in the party.”
“I know. So, I gave permission. I also don’t want my few friends to become romantic enemies. And… It wasn’t as bad as I thought to have someone who loved the same person.”
That’s kind of interesting. It’s not like Karina lacks the desire to be exclusive. She seemed to know what my expression was thinking, and she smiled as if she knew what she was thinking.
“If a bad woman had closed to John, I might have gone out violently. But… They’re good kids, right? These are children who have no one to rely on, so John becomes their only support.”
“I don’t know if I’m qualified to take on such an undeserved role.”
“I think John is fully qualified.”
“…That’s too much praise.”
“Hehe, he’s cute even when he’s shy.”
“You’re probably the only one who looks at me and thinks I’m cute.”
“Isn’t it true that the actions of someone you love tend to look cute?”
… That’s right.
I quietly took the steps without any objection.
And, the song ended.
——————–
“I enjoyed seeing the dance skills of the two of you.”
“Oh my, Martina. Martina also came to the debutante?”
“That’s right. “The daughter of my father’s friend is scheduled to debut this time… So I came to support her.”
Support fire. As a senior, are you leading your juniors? I ignored Martina’s words and looked around again. Young lady and Young-Sik who look away in surprise when they make eye contact with me.
You must think I’m here for some kind of hunting.
By the way, this bitch Sitri didn’t come at all. There’s no way a woman who likes parties and likes being praised wouldn’t show up at a party like this.
Even in the original work, he was a guy who showed a lot of fuss and gave up clues.
“Martina. “Can I ask you one thing?”
“As far as I know.”
“Have there been any ladies who have made their social debut in the past few years who have suddenly come to mind?”
“Even in the last few years, I’ve been concentrating on my studies, so I don’t have that many friends… Ah, there is Lady Trisha.”
“…Are you planning on hiding it?”
Is it too explicit?
Well, there is no way there is a person who knows the real name in the first place.
“Yes?”
“It is nothing. Is Lady Trisha by any chance at the banquet hall?”
“I do not know. “She’s not a lady I’m close with, so… Is it important?”
“…The fate of the empire is at stake.”
At my words, Martina carefully looked around and spoke to me in a barely audible voice.
“I’ll ask my friends. There is someone who is close to Lady Trisha-“
“Oh oh! Karina! “It’s been a while!”
… Does this guy have no sense?
I looked at the first prince who appeared in front of us, shouting at the banquet hall to leave.
The 1st Prince, who appeared with a confident face, took a stance with one hand behind her and the other in front of her. She spoke loudly to Karina so that people around her could hear.
“Would you like to dance a song with me?”
