Chapter 31 On Stage!
「…………?」
Silk looks at the man suspiciously. That’s obvious because she never asked him to play together and she didn’t even know him in the first place.
However, despite her reaction, the big man’s stern face distorts to a sadistic laugh.
「Oi oi, we do have a connection, you know? …is what I want to say, but for you, it’s obvious that you don’t know me at all.」
He spreads his thick arm sideways and shakes his head regrettably.
The big man quietly put his mouth near Silk’s ear…
「I’m Albert, the guild master of 『Acontela』.」
「!?」
To that word, Silk understands everything. The gray guild 『Acontela』, whose request was failed and got a disgrace, come to revenge.
Albert grins when he understands that she realized it.
「Let see… so the two of you want to take the entrance test together?」
The examiner talks to them with a carefree tone. He probably doesn’t think that she’s in such a dire situation. He thinks that a helper came for Silk’s test and then asks so.
「Yeah, that’s right. She will be playing Radmila and I will be playing Gabri. Isn’t that perfect?」
「…………」
Albert says the two key figures in 『Elias Story』. Silk as Radmila, the heroine that was saved by the protagonist Elias. And himself as Gabri, the biggest enemy in the story that’s hostile to Elias and attacked the heroine.
「Well then, I’ll make you cornered just like a villain. What, I won’t hurt you. You’re a fine jewel, so I’ll properly cherish you.」
Albert approaches one step closer to Silk while grinning.
Speaking of his giant figure, for a delicate woman like Silk, it is like a mountain moving.
The intimidation is terrible, but she doesn’t run away because this is the stairs to her dream that was saved by Alistar.
「……Why did you targeting at me?」
「Hou…」
Albert is impressed by her strong eyes.
Even though she understands his sternness and atrociousness, she doesn’t yield. In addition, the words that Silk said just now was Radmila’s lines in 『Elias Story』. Even if she falls into this situation, she still wants to continue the test.
Although he can just destroy it, Albert decides to get along for amusement.
「Well, if I’m aiming for you, that guy… Elias will come here. I’ll make you as bait and lure him. Well, hemay be can’t come here though.」
Albert says a line according to the 『Elias Story』. But, it’s clear that it’s not just the story’s lines. Because in Albert’s words, Elias refers to Alistar.
「……Why?」
Of course, the quick-witted Silk noticed it. Although inside her plump chest is wrapped by uneasiness, she asks Albert with strong eyes.
Looking at her eyes, Albert smiles happily.
「Well, that’s because my subordinates are attacking Elias.」
「…!?」
Silk opens her eyes wide.
Sure, there was such development in 『Elias Story』. But, it happens to Alistair too…
「Oh, you finally show me an impatient expression. You showed me a firm attitude even though facing me, but now it suits you better, Radmila.」
「……But, that person won’t lose to you guys.」
That’s right. I saw Alistair fighting to protect myself, I know that he’s not a weak guy that will lose to them. I was a little impatient, but…
But, Albert sneers at her as if to shatter Silk’s hope.
「Yeah, I guess I can’t despise his ability to be able to defeat my special subordinate. But, number is what matters in battle after all. Do you know how many of my subordinates that attacked Elias?」
「Alistar…!」
Silk shows a cornered expression.
She reflexively tries to jump off the stage, but Albert’s giant body stands in her way.
「Oi oi, Radmila. Don’t get sidetracked. You can’t afford to worry about Elias, you know? Because I’ll have fun with you until he comes!」
Albert who is huge and powerful even among men, and Silk who has the same figure as a common delicate woman. If she’s being played by him, it won’t be a good end.
However, Silk that loses her cool because Alistar is put in danger, she shows strong eyes to such Albert.
「…You trash.」
「Kuku, well said. I don’t hate it.」
It is a strong one that makes you want to look away, but Albert laughs and wards it off.
The examiners are impressed by their conversation. They think that all of it is acting, not something dangerous that’s really happening. They have bad eyes.
However, even though the examiners are unaware of it, there is someone in the theater that can sense the strange situation between those two.
「(……They are serious.)」
That person is, of course, Magali.
When it comes to her own safety, her ability to detect danger is considerable.
「(Well, there’s no longer any reason for me to be here. Let’s escape quickly.)」
Magari tries to get up quickly.
She doesn’t intend to help Silk at all. Just like Alistar, she’s just thinking about herself and she doesn’t want to help a stranger.
Also, Albert is scary.
With that, Magali trying to get out of the theater secretly, but…
「Radmila, in respect of your firmness, if you give me a woman who is as pretty as you, I will release you. Let see… for example, the black-haired woman over there.」
「(It directed at me!?)」
Albert takes a glance at Magali with a sharp gaze, and then she screams inside.
「(I-I wonder if I can pretend not noticing it…?)」
She still tries to escape. But, if she turns her back now, the surroundings will think that she’s trying to escape, so she maintains her ‘looking at Albert vigilantly’ appearance.
「That person is unrelated. This is your problem with me.」
Of course, the gentle Silk tries to protect Magali. But, that’s an unwelcome favor for Magali.
「(Uguu, I’m being protected…! Moreover, even the examiners directing their attention to me…! This is definitely not a normal recruitment test, and if I’m a saint that’s running away is leaked… )」
If it’s exposed that I’m not suitable to be a saint ―― an execution.
By the time the two words crossed in her mind, Magali was already on the stage.
「…I’m okay with it, you know? I’ll become that person replacement.」
「Hou?」
To Magali who smiles fearlessly, Albert raises his eyebrows.
Magali, on stage!
