The birthday party of Bibur was coming with big steps.
Though Vayve also had his own party soon, he wasn't really that interested in his birthday! It was just like any other day, but there are naturally people who care about it around him! And Bibur himself was using this party to invite every peer of his.
It's a win-win situation.
His father can look forward to meeting his 'business' enemies and potential friends within the kingdom while Bibur can go all the way to meet his peers innocently.
There were still a lot of young masters he has to personally see.
The ones that were born in the same years as him!
The days continued to pass, then the day with this very birthday party arrived!
Vayve decided to go here alone without anyone! He has that status, but he didn't really want to rely on his mother as it's sure she would protect him the moment something between him and Bibur happened anew.
This would end up with Bibur's father joining up.
All would be unnecessary.
What he has to do is face his own problems! It's rather an attitude worthy of a MC, but Vayve still had that kind of fear of trusting and working with others... Of course, there was that trust in his mother and few maids, but in the end, he hoped to work alone.
A MC is going alone!
Thus, Vayve pretended to not care about Bibur's party for a few days, then slowly ventured outside... He believed he is alone not because of his earlier preparations, but also thanks to his MC's Plot Armor.
The party was scheduled for the evening, so the sky was already dark.
The kingdom wasn't really dark though. It had that medieval setting, but the mix of raw fire and some magic lanterns had formed a beautiful sight! His small body slowed down to properly look at these.
It was rather the first time for Vayve to be truly alone outside his house.
Everything was new and filled with mysteriousness. This kind of mysteriousness was forcing Vayve to just step forward into the magic shops and other facilities only too have a better look! It was a new life and he himself was slowly enjoying it more.
The noble street was surely something to behold.
There were also a lot of people as the kingdom was always crowded. The noble street wasn't spared from such treatment and Vayve's eyes were often disturbed by the grown-up people passing around him.
Even so, he was enjoying the solo adventure without anyone looking at him or bothering.
However, the gates leading to Hona Household appeared before his eyes relatively fast, as if the time was working against him! Vayve had to properly calm himself, then exhaling, he took yet another step forward.
"I am here to attend a birthday party!"
"The invitation letter."
"Here."
Vayve just passed that golden letter and not even a second passed yet the guards stepped aside allowing him to go forward. Though it was strange for a young noble to be all alone, Vayve got that golden letter!
There were already a lot of people as Vayve's ears could record noises not too long after he went forward...
The mansion had yet to be seen yet the sounds were already assaulting him!
-
"Bibur, what happened to you?"
Hona Bibur!
The MC from the same world like Vayve was surrounded by brats that were asking him questions clearly related to his lost eye... This was so annoying, even more than their innocent attitudes... However, as the young masters are all unique, Bibur soon got faced by one of the most annoying brats.
"Haha! I heard he lost a spar!"
"Really?"
"Yeah! Against Mr. Ranria's son!"
It was a strong brat whose potential was reeking off from her body! Bibur's senses were informing him about her, thus, he also put her on a list of potential 'MCs' whether from The Earth or this world.
The worst thing was that she was simply too loud and straightforward.
The small lady had her arms crossed, looking like a boss! Her hair was violet and there was a small sword on her hip! She had overall the appearance of the small knight! Behind her were two maids ready to protect her...
Of course, the party was crowded with a lot of people not only young masters and so on!
That's why Vayve had a nice cover as he had yet to be found out by anyone... Truly no one found him suspicious as he moved throughout the hall like a normal kid.
However, Vayve himself could see the proud brat openly speaking about his spar with Bibur! Contrary to Bibur's expression, Vayve was all smiles as it was indeed pleasurable to listen to. His eyes hovered for a while on the Bibur's face who was losing patience.
In his former life, he already would be fighting with such 'person', but in front of him, there was a small lady, not a big dude!
It was a brat yet Bibur was clearly losing that patience because of her! Because he was at the very top after his struggles in a former life, Bibur was used to have the things going his way... But the spar with Vayve just shattered his clear path!
"Bibur! Are you okay?"
Then, Vayve made an appearance.
As someone who stayed in his home for the most time, Vayve wasn't really known by others! But the reaction of Bibur clearly told everyone who Vayve is! Who else, other than him, could make the young prodigy distort his face like that?
His expression just became filled with that anger.
"You lost rather fast, so I was worried a little."
""""....""""
"Here is a birthday present for you. I hope you will like it."
Vayve smiled brightly while suppressing all his emotions! After he passed a small box, he took a step back and patiently waited for Bibur to open up the present. What he has prepared was rather a nice gift!
"You... Thank you... for consideration..."
It was an eyepatch, but it had a few letters on it.
K Y S!
Bibur knew the exact meaning of these three words... If he actually wore it, then he would be telling every other author that he is like them! This is a dangerous item, but the brats were urging him to wear it!
Soon enough, Bibur was standing while wearing the eyepatch that was telling him to kill himself!
While Bibur was slowly building up that hate and anger against Vayve, the young man himself turned to face a loud small lady who was one of the rare kids to actually openly face Bibur! His eyes and aura weren't the same when he held a dagger, but he still had that threatening eye!
Even so, she faced him!
Wasn't this small lady a perfect friend for Vayve?
As someone who decided to make some connections too, Vayve decided to get closer to her!
