After the explanation was over, the people in the room looked that the plan was something that was detailed and should be possible if the situations presented for it worked out, still for a single person to enact this was clearly a suicide. I know that.. But as they looked at me the lords didn't look concerned, it seemed that I had their trust.
"But how can you do all that stuff? don't you remember you said you would do this job...Alone!" it was the knight named Rose, she looked like it was a mission Impossible.. and loved to jab at me about it, Well I just had to show her my skills.. But still… even after the whole room getting silent for her to voice it out in such a condescending tone.. I really had to say that this girl might really despise me.
"Really now? don't Underestimate me Knight Lady… oh my, I see you are holding some rather valuable things…." As I said, I had put my plan into strategy.
"Rekka what are you doing now?" Asked Lilith, looking at me. I gotta say she really was the Overlord. She really did see that I was doing something….
"Ooh nothing, just showing you guys a demonstration!" I said As I finished collecting everyone's belongings…. And a second later, everyone in the room looked bewildered, because everyone's valuables from their weapons to their jewelry and of course their money was gone…. To them it looked as if it had vanished in thin air.
{Collection of every item apart from clothing has been successful.}
"....Iyaaa…..What did you do?" Asked the flustered knight lady since her armor was also really valuable and probably made of valuable metals, it had also vanished. And right now she looked….. What can I say…. Hot! Under her armor she was wearing a really skimpy dress or rather it was underwear that was worn under her armor…. She promptly covered herself with her cape since it was still there….
The knight that was her boss had also lost her armor but she was wearing a modest set of clothes inside so she was still okay….
"Well you see, this is how I will rob the nobles... my sticky hands can grab into anything and take it with ease. Now please forgive me for doing so without telling you but I had to show you the result and I hoped it satisfies your demands… let me return your stuff…." being able to rob the nobles was the biggest piece of plan there was. Even if both parties were not convinced of taking my help, if I just took their funds and distributed to the whole populous of the country, they had no way to wage a war.
As I said, everyone's individual stuff appeared in front of them and slumped on the ground while the ones who were sitting had their stuff on the Table…
"Hnghhh! I will let you know that magic doesn't work inside noble houses that too inside their safes….!" it looked like the knight Rose still wasn't accepting that I could do what I told them…
"Let me correct you Miss Knight, I didn't use magic… it was simple really… but I am reluctant to explain the matter since these are my skills, does anyone have a problem with that?" I said that with an expression which said I am not talking about this anymore…
if people other than the ones close to me get to know that I can use Spirit energy… I don't think it would be good for me, I know too little about the world after all. So the world should also know little about me.
Anyway, Hearing me all of them nodded, although the Lady knight still was pouting but she was beautiful so I enjoyed it…. I wonder why but making that knight nearly cry felt rather satisfying. and her figure was really eye cathcing too... I looked at Leila to see if she was mad since I checked out the girl... but she only chuckled seeing me looking at her with concern. man... why did I have such a understanding girlfriend?
"Alright then, I hope your plan works in that sense. I agree with your word that you will handle this matter. So I hereby order you Rekka Wolford to prevent this war from happening at all cost. if in the end your plan does not succeed, you will proceed to killing the Nobles and taking all their valuables so that their war preparations end in vain…"
"Yes My Liege, I will definitely succeed in this mission!" I firmly accepted the mission. Which brought everyone in the room to smile faintly… was it my confidence that won them over? but no matter what, since I said it I would do it of course.
"But hey, wasn't my engagement in less than a month?" Suddenly I remembered that I was going to get engaged next month but Lilith Smirked at me.
"Well you better succeed or your engagement could be endangered~" Lilith was smirking, what the hell!! First she barges in on me and Leila then she even makes… this unreasonable demand! Aaaaah! Is she going to be the mother-in-law who makes unreasonable demands…?
As I slumped a little, I saw that the other lords had smiles and my grandparents were also smiling… Well there are hard times, what could I do?….
"Well if this meeting is over can I be excused now?" I asked Lilith.
"Yes, where are you planning to go?" asked Lilith...
"Hmm I was planning to go to the Raining inn. last time I went there, I really enjoyed their meal."
"The Raining inn? I never heard of that." asked Lilith.
"Well, why not try a bottle of their finest wine?" I said as I brought out a wine from thin air. Actually, it came out from the storage, but I had modified the spell a little.. So now it looked as if the things came out from thin air. Everyone was a bit surprised but this was nothing new.
"Hmm I don't think this will be enough for everyone…" Lilith retorted, but sadly I didn't have any more…
"Hmm, well you did offer a taste so it's fine isn't it?" As Lilith said so everyone nodded. On the other hand, the standing members had gotten slumped. I still wondered why…
"Well you guys can do that, I will excuse myself then…" As I said so, Lilith said.
"Hmm alright, I gave you the mission so be done with it fast. I don't want any mess, okay!" boy she had gotten a lot bossy since the time she got in this room… maybe since I got grown up Lilith thinks that it is alright to work me the way she can.
"Hey Rekka, get some of your dried nuts out too! I want mom to try it!" Alice demanded seeing the wine. She was talking about the nuts that I had prepared. It was a mixture of different types of nuts. I dried it and fried them and then I added a bit of salt to them. If taken with wine or drinks, it feels good to the taste. Alice also Liked this very much. So at her request, I presented the nuts in a bowl on the table. Anyway.. That also appeared out of thin air. I could get used to this.
"Happy now?"
"He he.. Yeah, you can go now." As selfish as ever. She didn't even thank me for it. Moreover she even said I could go. Well I don't mind that, it is also her true self. It's actually charming how she can demand things from me without a shred of shyness.
"Leila, Systy wanna come with me?" I asked both of them.
"Master I don't wanna impose on you guys…" Systy voiced her opinion…
"No Systy, I hate to say this but I don't think I can think about that stuff now…. Sorry Leila you would probably have to…"
"What are you saying? I understand, it's a big problem now, it's only natural you would want to fix everything first…" Leila said, holding my hand. She was also one of the reasons behind this mess but I am sure I should be the main reason, I hope Leila doesn't feel guilty because of this.
"Yeah… also I need to get in touch with Ridge too. I wonder where she is…. Moreover there is a boatload of information I need to collect…"
"Master, I can help you in this mission too.." Systy came forward saying that.
"Sorry Systy but you are not suitable for this kind of mission… you're like a gem in the sand, you know? You will stand out like a sore thumb. I mean very few are as beautiful as you. in this Mission I have to be low key." my honest opinion made her blush furiously but still, it was all true.
"O..okay!" Systy answered while trying to stop her face from relaxing.
"Wow I think you really improved.. Now you don't even have to try to compliment a girl…." as Leila patted the embarrassed Systy with a chuckle she said to me.
"Come on Leila give me a break… okay, let's go, I wanna relax a bit and eat some good stuff before I go on the mission." I said, sighing. I mean I waited 3 years to live on my own and now I have to leave it and go to another country?
"He he.. okay." Leila giggled answering me, Systy also came with me… and when we were going to leave the room, the Knight Lady Rose came forward and actually not towards me but Leila.
"High miss, how can you get Engaged to such a man! Did he also manipulate you? He does have evil scheming knowledge!" I didn't focus on the insult I had just gotten, but the name that She just called Leila, got my interest.
"Ooh! High miss? I never heard anyone calling you that, Leila!" I asked her teasing which made her blush a lot… ohh! She is beautiful! how I missed her face!
"Mmm! Rose, don't call me that anymore! And Rekka, no, that was just the name everyone called me when I lived here…! Don't call me that okay?" OOh I think I just found one of her past embarrassment material. coming behind me, She dearly held my ears shut in embarrassment.
"Yes Certainly High Miss, I will never forget this name!"
"Hngh! No! Don't call me that! Geez!" as if a ciritcal hit each time she heard the name, She had become so red and fidgety. Oh man Teasing Leila was awesome. But I folded and patted her head which had been covered by her hands.. Covering my ears had amounted to nothing, I already heard it.
"Don't worry, I like everything about you, even your embarrassment. But I can certainly forget it if you want?" as I said so looking into her eyes.
"Really? Well if you say it like that... I will have to accept it, but don't call me that okay?" Leila said while blushing. The atmosphere was great. Our chemistry has really improved since I came back.
"Okay." I said we came to look into each other's eyes for a bit and then moved along.
"Wait! Did I just help him get Closer!" exclaimed Rose in bewilderment. She had become really red watching us flirt. I could practically hear her grinding her teeth.
"He's unstoppable. Master has godly Skills and lady luck. No one can stop his conquests." Systy monologues from behind.
"Rose, it's really been long, why don't you come too? We could hang out." Leila offered Rose and as if being honoured she promptly agreed.
"Of course, How can I say no to hi…!"
"Ooh! Were you going to say something to me, who was called Leila Asadeli… if not then let's go!" Leila had closed in on Rose like a predator and stopped the word on her mouth. as this made Rose stop in her tracks, Leila shoved us towards the door and proceeded without any words.. It is better to not irritate beautiful women sometimes.
....
We were walking on the night streets of the capital. I had 3 beautiful ladies behind me. Actually one of them was holding my hands and we were walking shoulder to shoulder, since she was sticking close to me, I could feel the soft sensations of her well developed chest on my arms.. It was absolutely tantalizing!
"Leila you really have gotten bold since I came back." I said, seeing Leila's changed attitude. She used to be more reserved, apart from when she was home; she never came close to me before like this.
"Well after you went, I had a lot of time to go over the feelings you had for me. Also, now that you look all grown up I don't have any guilty feelings of swaging a young boy! Not to mention, I hardly feel any eye's staring at us.. So I kind of think it is fine." She said ignoring the stares that we were getting from the public.
Since it had just gotten dark, the bars were filled and the street food stalls were also in a rush, so there were lots of people around us.
There should be many unruly people with vulgar Ideas but they could only look. none of them would be able to come near us or pester us. This was the advanced barrier technique I had developed. Normally life with superior intellect isn't affected by Amanori's barriers but this barrier...
Whoever would want to approach us using vulgar thoughts or ill will is going to get in a mental curse. It's only a low level curse which showed them in detail what would happen to them if they dared.
The things that they are shown in their mind are so frightening that many could even piss their pants by experiencing it in their minds. The reason Leila felt no stares towards her was because nobody can actually look at us with focus that can draw attention. Lets just call it an illusion that disrupts people from perceiving us fully. I had made such barrier spells for reasons unknown to these types of usage, but it turned out that they can be used like this too.
"Hmm this is weird.."
"What is? Lady Rose?"
"Well Miss Systy, you see I have come to the Capital many times, so at this hour it was really... What can I say, bothering to walk on the streets. Vulgar and over zealous adventurers would always approach me but right now even with 3 ladies here, I see no one taking any steps towards us." This was because of me, so it was only obvious that Rose would feel surprised by this.
"You can just call me Systy. Lady Rose, and the reason is probably because of Master. He has very convenient ways to handle those situations.."
"Hmm really?" Rose asked, looking at me from behind with a curious gaze.
"Well I certainly don't want Vulgar men near Ladies who were in my care for the evening, could I?" I said to Rose even though she got red hearing that, she also showed a confused expression.
"Master your doing it again, with your Fiancée being in your hold too." Systy said with a blank expression…
"Sorry I can't help it... . You're all beautiful you know! And I was only telling the truth, how can you think of it as anything other than just complementing?" I said, grabbing the back of my head with my free hand.
"Sigh!" Hearing me Systy left a long sigh… Leila on the other hand looked too happy to care about all this. Her face was saying she loves the way I could spend time with her. Still to think Leila would get this attached to me, it was probably because of those embarrassing desires I had shared with her. we came a long way in our relationship even without doing anything that intimate... was this a boon or a curse?
As our walk continued through the night streets filled with a lot of people having the time of their life, I felt that the country was stable… the people were happy, the smiles on everyone's faces looked peaceful, if we are this stable.. Nothing should be a problem..
If a war is to come… I could just use my existence and keep this country the way it is… even if a war is to happen.. There is something here now that wasn't in the past…
Not the hero's no…. It's the cursed sword wielder. If the world wants to see it this badly.. .I guess there isn't anything I can do other than to show it.
