Eromobuseka Chapter 68 Information Leak / Catastrophe
「A showdown between Alec-sama and Emily-sama. What should I do?」
A guild staff was twisting her head in the front of a difficult problem Alec’s in silver class, while Emily’s in gold, the difference is obvious but she can’t decide on what competition they should have.
The staff knows that Alec’s magic volume is high even though he’s a Zatsuryu. On the other hand, Emily is an irresponsible special class who was spoiled not long ago, but recently she’s been diligent and her success rate has been improving.
「When it comes to supplying magic, no, Alec-sama may have a lot, but Emily-sama’s older and a woman. It’s hard to judge which has more. Besides, there’s no magic tool for Emily’s magic so she can’t supply it.
When there is a request for a Kiryu, it has to be a magic tool that uses the same attribute magic in the first place or they can’t supply any magic. There are a lot of magic tools for the popular attributes, such as fire, water, wind, and earth, but there are no tools for Ruu’s lava attribute or the jewel attribute of the twins.
Likewise, magic tools suited for Emily’s attributes don’t exist in this world and Emily never supplied magic until now. The same goes for Ruu and the twins.
Apart from that, in the case of Kiryu attending school, the older students have more magic and females have more than males In the Free Knight’s Guild, the female Kiryu is considered to have about 1.5 to twice the magic power of the same male Kiryu.
An average male isn’t selected by a female Kiryu due to such difference. Only a handful of males, blessed with talent and blessings get to connect with a female Kiryu.
With that said, the staff couldn’t ask for a magic supply.
「Anything else? Some requests that could take down the advantage of being a Kiryu. I guess we can’t make a request for the ordinary silver-class Zatsuryu, right?」
She was clearly looking for a request that could help Alec win, but she couldn’t find something that convenient. The Kiryu and Zatsuryu had too much difference in magic quality that it divided them.
She was already considering making silver-class requests for both of them but then the guild suddenly had an emergency call.
「–This! This is perfect!」
It crushes the advantage the Kiryu had while not being an issue for Alec, a Zatsuryu. She’s usually worried about this annoying request, but this time it was the saving grace.
An emergency request was delivered to the Free Knight’s Guild.
It’s an urgent subjugation request to defeat the huge ant monster “metal ant” which made a nest at a nearby school city in the south.
The metal ants were already so strong that they could beat ordinary Zatsuryu, but it was different when they had to enter the nest and beat the Queen ant. It takes someone as strong as a Kiryu to beat the queen who lurks deep in the nest while kicking away the swarm of ants attacking. But, Alec has high magic, so it shouldn’t be an issue if a hundred ants attack him.
Furthermore, since the nest may collapse, the Kiryu are forbidden to do large-scale attacks. The nest collapsed when Emily received this request so she was unsuccessful You have to walk down the passage on your own to get the proof of defeating the queen ant in her room.
「With this, the Kiryu can’t do anything big and that gives Alec-sama the opportunity, but if it collapses, he may get buried alive so it’s better to have Lina-sama with him」
When a Kiryu is buried alive, they can easily deal with it. They could blow away the earth and sand above their head. That’s all. The wild idea of blowing everything up to not get buried alive is the Kiryu’s standard.
「We need to contact the academy immediately and explain the request to Alec-sama and Emily-sama. Let’s leave tomorrow!」
The woman hurriedly writes documents and makes arrangements with various departments.
Her work was immediately sent to the school.
■
「Please! I need everyone’s help! Please help me!」
When Emily received the request from the guild to help defeat the metal ants, she immediately asked her classmates to help. She knows the difficulty of this from past experience. It’s not a lot but it’s something Emily can’t handle alone.
「Heh! That’s cold of you princess! If it’s a request from you, we’ll do our best to fulfill it!」
「Hmph. We need permission to head outside first. Let’s talk to the dorm director now.」
「I can now search a wider area than before, and so I’ll find the queen ant for the princess right away!」
「G-Guys! Thanks! I-I’ll win this and become an idol!」
Oooh! Mimi-hime! Go for it! The fourth-year students were very excited. They stormed into the dorm director’s room with the same momentum and asked for permission to go out.
「I don’t care about what this “idol” thing your princess is saying… But it’s a match, isn’t it?」
Chii-kun’s muttering wasn’t heeded by anyone.
■
Third years. The 47 Pity.
「Hey, did you hear that? The fourth years are making a big deal about going out with Emily-sama tomorrow!」
「What did you say? Did the outdoor ban get lifted?」
It’s only been a few days since the director revoked their permission to head out due to making a fuss at the guild. Strangely, the fourth years got permission, even though, the third years don’t.
「Seems like Emily received a request from the guild. So, the fourth year asked the dorm director for permission to follow Emily-sama」
「What?! We can’t allow that! We’re going to help Emily-sama too! Gather up a the dorm director’s office!」
「Sure! I’m calling everyone now!」
And so the pity 47 have gathered. In a fit of rage, they barged into the dorm director’s office and successfully got their permission to head out. It’s quite the performance. The dorm director they barged in on was also inconvenienced.
■
And that’s how the participants of the request swelled without Alec’s or Emily’s knowledge.
In the second year, Alec and his Harem. Four of them.
The third year, pity 47. Forty-seven people.
In the fourth year, Emily-chan and her bodyguards. 5 People.
Furthermore.
「Mimi-oneesama, is it true that you’re heading to the guild for a request tomorrow?」
Upon hearing the story, Luvis came to Emily with her eyes sparkling.
「Y-yes. That’s right.」
「I heard that Mimi-oneesama’s having a contest?」
「Y-Yes, want to come too, Luvis-chan?」
「I’m going! Thank you! Mimi-oneesama」
「It’s nothing much, (I still need to get Ceres-san’s permission)」
Luvis, who believed that Emilly would do something amazing at the guild’s request, seems to be joining her. Of course, Safira’s also joining.
(It’s alright, this is my chance! I’ll become the lovely big sister the two can look up to.,)
