Chapter 122: Unshakable
“”……””
(These bastards… Are you freaking kidding me?)
On the day of the unexpected visit, two individuals were seated in front of Ishud.
One was Dimna Kais, the opponent who prompted Gulf to learn fighting spirit in the quarterfinals of the Fierce Battle Festival.
The other was Adreas Batlea, Ishud’s classmate who competed for the championship against Phillip in the finals.
Yes, he was the fifth prince of this country.
That morning, as Ishud finished his breakfast and was reflecting on the recent training session, considering how to proceed with the matches, he was called by his father, Alba.
“You have guests.”
The guests were Dimna and Adreas, who had visited the Regula household for the first time without any prior notice.
“What the hell… Coming to our house without any prior notice, what were you thinking?”
Addressing a marquis’s family member and a royal figure as “you guys,” the knights and magicians guarding them showed no reaction of indignation, such as shouting “How rude! Do you want to be cut down?!” Instead, they looked somewhat apologetic.
Visiting another house without prior notice… it was indeed as Ishud had said.
“Well, we thought if we notified you beforehand, you’d refuse us, Ishud.”
“…I agree.”
Adreas answered with a cheerful smile, while Dimna responded expressionlessly and matter-of-factly.
(Can I punch them? Can I please punch them?)
Ishud glanced at Christille, whom he considered the highest authority present besides the royals.
(Please refrain. At least in this setting, please refrain.)
(…Fine.)
Ending their conversation with eye contact, Ishud let out a big sigh and draped his arms over the sofa.
It is not at all the attitude one should have towards the marquis’s son and the prince, but there is no one here to reprimand them for it.
“First of all, how did you guys get here? Don’t tell me you came all the way here straightforwardly and honestly.”
Ishud returned from the academy to his home, bringing his friends back on a flying carpet, which is a magic item.
Therefore, the residents knew that Ishud had brought friends from the academy to his home, but they did not know which noble family these friends belonged to.
As a result, no troublesome issues have arisen so far… but if the marquis’s and the royal family’s carriages had come, it wouldn’t be surprising if it led to a troublesome issue later on.
“Hahaha, don’t worry. We properly camouflaged ourselves and moved in a way that wouldn’t reveal we were from the royal family.”
“Same here.”
“I see…”
Well, that’s that, I guess.
While the minimum line has been cleared, from Ishud’s perspective, it doesn’t really matter.
He wanted to shout, “Go back to your homes, you brats!!!”, but he held back for now… since, in front of him, there were royals and their escorts.
“So, what business do you have at my home?”
“I want to experience your strength.”
“…I thought I shouldn’t be separated.”
Adreas focused on Ishud, while Dimna… directed his thoughts towards Gulf, his opponent in the quarter-finals.
Of course, from Dimna’s perspective, Ishud was also an opponent worth considering, but currently, the opponent he was most conscious of was Gulf, whom he fought against in the quarter-finals—not Adreas and Philip, who had advanced to the final match in their generation.
“Hmmm… Well, even if you say that… It’s not like I’m your buddy or anything.”
That’s exactly right.
Adreas wants to get along with Ishud, but Ishud himself doesn’t have the slightest bit of such feelings.
And with Dimna… it’s almost like meeting for the first time.
From Ishud’s perspective, there’s a basic sense of looking down on people, and he gives off an impression of being somewhat difficult to understand.
“Haha, you’re tough. But I understand that.”
“Me too.”
As the two signaled, the knights guarding them each placed a bag full of coins on the table.
“Michela was still in conflict with you at that time, and when she offered to train together with you after you defeated her, I heard you demanded money.”
(Oh yeah… There was something like that. Where did they get that information from though… Well, this prince is still a classmate at the same academy, so it’s not strange if he knows, but this cold guy, like Dustin senpai, is from another school, right?)
Dimna, being a student of the same Sanbar Academy as Dustin, should have less access to that information than Adreas… judging from his expression, it seems he prepared a large amount of coins knowing that information.
“How about it? I thought I prepared a decent amount.”
At the time, Ishud laughed and told Michela that I’m not the one you should ask for.
Thinking that the amount in their personal pockets alone was insufficient, they bowed their heads to their father… the head of the family, the king.
(…Isn’t this over-preparation, you idiot?)
The amount Ishud requested from Michela was enough to eat and drink lavishly at a high-class restaurant.
That alone would have been a sufficient amount of money, but the amount prepared by the two with their parents’ help was… an amount that could be repeated about five times.
(…Tch!!! Well, I do think it’s somewhat impressive that they prepared this much, but… If they just prepare money, do they think they can just crash into our place…)
For Ishud, Gulf, Philip, and Ibuki are friends.
As for Michela… I don’t really understand her, but I acknowledge her determination.
Regarding Christille and Dustin, they fought in an exhibition match and I somewhat liked them.
That’s why I invited them to my parents’ house.
As for Adreas and Dimna, I know their abilities but not much else about them. Honestly… whether they prepare money or not doesn’t really move my heart.
Initially, Ishud felt somewhat sorry for his attitude, but gradually, the guards began to feel that maybe his attitude was a bit too much.
Thinking that if he’s going to do it anyway, maybe it’s worth seriously fighting against those who have also advanced to their third jobs like him and might anger them… Dimna suddenly stood up.
