Chapter 1578 (O ^ ~ ^ O) Exercise After Meals

"ah!"

"how come……"

When night fell, when Emilia, Annie Ramrem, and the host Anastasia Hexin who invited them here had finished bathing and changing clothes, they all came out of the hot spring bath in the inn wearing dry clothes. When I walked to the big dining room of the inn where I sat directly on the floor, I was surprised to find that there were several familiar guys here?

"Ferut, Crusch Karsten, and Priscilla Ballier..."

"Why are you here?"

So, as a matter of course, Emilia, who had never thought that the five candidates for the throne would gather together, covered her mouth and exclaimed.

"Please don't be too surprised, Emilia."

"actually……"

"Just like you, Crusch and Felut were invited by me. As for the specifics, let's chat while eating?"

At this time, Anastasia Hexin, who had already changed into a snow-white long dress, walked out from behind Emilia with a smile, and explained to Emilia and Crusch and Felut who were also a little bit surprised with.

After soaking in hot springs and playing around together, she is now basically familiar with Emilia and the others. Although they are not good friends, at least they can call each other directly and intimately. name, rather than simply a competitor relationship like before.

Of course, she didn't mention the name of the 'Bloody Bride' Priscilla Balier just now, because the other party came uninvited, but she herself was not very good at refusing and driving the other party away.

But it's good that the other party has come, and it just so happens that the next thing is enough for them, the kings, to work hard for a while, and it's good to have more strength.

"ah!"

"It turned out to be like this..."

With a soft cry, Emilia nodded as if she had realized something, and then didn't continue to ask more questions.

"alright!"

"Emilia, since everyone is here, let's take our seats quickly, shall we?"

"Mizu no Hagorotei Inn is different from other places. There are no tall tables and chairs here, but can we kneel and sit on cushions like this?"

As she said that, for fear that Emilia would not understand and make a fool of herself, Anastasia, who was the host, thoughtfully walked up to her seat first, then gently pulled the hem of the skirt, knelt down and sat upright. Straighten your back.

"nature!"

"We don't seem to be on a formal occasion right now, so we don't need to make it too grand. If you are not used to this way of sitting, you can do it yourself?"

Saying that, Anastasia laughed awkwardly.

Because she saw that a certain sad little girl sat on the cushion with her legs half crossed.

She also propped up the knee of one leg very unceremoniously, and didn't take the "correct" way of sitting she just said to her heart at all.

"ah……"

"Ha~!"

"Good!"

Emilia obviously also saw Annie's appearance, but her face didn't seem as thick as the other's, so she followed the example of others and followed Ram and Rem in a very ladylike manner. He sat on the cushion in that weird way of kneeling that would definitely compress the blood vessels.

"Ugh..."

e('o'*))) Ha!

At this time, Annie changed to a more comfortable position. She spread her short legs and sat on the cushion, and then half-lyed on her body with her hands propped up, and stretched her legs directly to the small coffee table. Under the little table.

"Annie..."

"Can't you just sit down a little bit?"

It's okay to see a certain sad little girl sitting in a completely different posture from others, and now she even wants to sit lying down, so Emilia couldn't help but turn her face a little stiffly to remind her in a low voice One sentence.

"That's great!"

(‘???`)

"I ate too much just now, and now my stomach is swollen..."

??(??￣?￣)????

Touching her round belly, Annie ignored Emilia's reminder at all, and just cared about her own comfort.

You know, the reason why humans have evolved chairs in countless worlds is because sitting is more comfortable and scientific than kneeling, and it is more in line with human mechanics, so she will not learn these boring strange things. Like the natives of the world, pretending to be arty, learning the tradition left by a strange guy who has traveled to this world to sit on his knees!

Moreover, not only did she not know how to learn, but she also completely blocked the summoning channel of this world, so that no one could be teleported here in the future.

"..."

Seeing that she couldn't be persuaded, she had no choice but to sit up straight again.

Because at this time, as they took their seats, the formal dinner finally began, and the waiters at the inn also began to walk in one by one with small steps carrying all kinds of food, and placed the various delicacies on the scene. On the small table in front of every guest.

Then, everyone who was hesitant because Anastasia Hexin invited such a king-chosen person gradually relaxed, and began to discuss in low voices while eating.

For example, this time Anastasia Hexin invited everyone to come to some important matters, the threat of the Witch Cult, the deacon of the Karsten family, the sword ghost Wilhelm Van Astrea, turned out to be Filu's firm support Reinhard van Astrea's own grandfather and so on?

"..."

(?~?)

However, Annie didn't listen carefully to what the people around her were talking about, but just lay half-lying on her position with her hands propped up, staring at the food in a daze.

"..."

(??v?v??)

There is no doubt that the food must be delicious, Annie can smell it just by smelling it, but...

"..."

e('o'*)))

Thinking about what she had done in the hot spring bath, Anne had to sigh again.

if……

If she had known earlier that there was a big meal to enjoy here, she would not have done that kind of thing just now, I really regret it!

Anyway, she was already thinking about whether to secretly use the ability to go back in time and go back to the time when they just entered the bathing place?

(…)

(￣?￣)

"Well?"

"Strange……"

"Your Excellency Archmage Anne, I remember, don't you like food the most?"

"Why don't you move the tableware much now?"

At this time, a bad old man sitting not far from Anne, that guy named Wilhelm Van Astrea, who also has the title of 'Sword Demon', who is the deacon of the Karsten family suddenly appeared He turned his head and looked at Annie strangely.

Obviously, the other party has been paying attention to Annie's every move for a long time, but she has been holding back until now, until the king candidates present have finished talking about some things and started to be a little cold before suddenly asking in a low voice.

"..."

o(′^｀)o hum!

Glancing at the other party, Annie didn't speak, but turned her face away with a cold snort.

Now she is sad, and she doesn't want to talk to that bad old man she doesn't know and likes to meddle in his own business.

"actually……"

"I can explain."

"Your Excellency Wilhelm, and everyone..."

"Before coming here, Anne had already eaten at the bathing place."

"And there's a lot to eat, so..."

Seeing that many people were all looking at this side, Emilia on the side hurriedly said this to Wilhelm who asked the question and everyone who was paying attention.

At that time, in the bathing place, Anastasia had someone prepare a pre-dinner snack and some appetizers for four of them, but in the end... that guy Anne ate them all by herself, and didn't even give them any food. What's left of them.

It's all right now, the sumptuous meals at the dinner party must be too much for the convenience, presumably this is the main reason why the other party is sulking and doesn't want to talk to others, right?

Of course, Emilia didn't dare to use that kind of thing to tease that miserable little guy Anne, otherwise, God knows if the other party would suddenly explode in a fit of rage, and then dump all the rich food on the tables of everyone present To overthrow it?

That kind of thing, in Emilia's view, must have a great possibility to happen!

"So it is!"

"I understand."

"Your Excellency, Mage Anne, you are old and meddlesome."

After listening, he first nodded gratefully to Emilia, and then cast an apologetic look at a certain arrogant little girl. Wilhelm didn't ask any more questions, but just concentrated on enjoying The ones in front of him were exotic, but eccentric foods made of raw meat.

"..."

But at this time, as the sword ghost Wilhelm successfully put everyone's sight and attention on a certain wicked little girl, a slender girl with fiery red hair and clear blue eyes, and a well-proportioned face. Finally, the handsome young man couldn't help but stood up from his own seat, walked around the table holding his sword hilt and walked to Annie.

"!!"

"Reinhardt, you..."

Seeing his grandson walking up to the little girl in public, Wilhelm, who had already guessed what the other party would do, opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't open his mouth to reprimand or persuade the other party to leave.

He knew that with his tense relationship with the other party, the other party would definitely not listen to him.

Moreover, now Reinhardt is the knight of Lord Felt, and he himself is the deacon of the Karsten family. The two sides have different positions. No matter what his identity is, he is not suitable for interfering with the other party too much. many.

"His Excellency Anne Hastur!"

"I am Reinhardt Van Astrea, the contemporary Juggernaut of the Astrea family, and the first knight of the Lugnica kingdom's forty-second candidate for the king, Felut!"

"Now!"

"In the name of the contemporary Juggernaut of the Astrea family, I challenge Your Excellency!"

"I hope that your Excellency will have a fair and direct fight with me, please!"

After uttering his request loudly so that everyone present could hear it, Reinhardt van Astrea, the contemporary swordsman of the Astrea family, greeted him with a knight salute. Annie bowed slightly.

That's right!

Now, known as the strongest swordsman in the past, possessing the strength at the apex of the world, the "sword master" who can be called the strongest human being has unparalleled strength, and usually only relying on nicknames and patrols can play a role in the capital. The role of maintaining law and order, with more than forty kinds of protection, Reinhardt 'Lei Aotian', who can completely crush all spellcasters, wants to have a fair and just competition with Anne.

He has been brooding over the matter of being knocked down by Annie in the palace that day and passed out, so now that he has a chance to avenge his shame, he finally couldn't help it.

"..."

(°-°〃)

Blinking, Annie didn't answer the other party.

Because, she couldn't remember when she had met the other party at all, she seemed to have a little impression, but she didn't seem to have any, and she didn't know why the other party would challenge her inexplicably.

"Hello!"

"Annie, everyone is waiting, what's your answer?"

Seeing that everyone was attracted by the changes here, and seeing that Anne seemed unmoved, after waiting for a while, Emilia finally couldn't help but turned sideways to remind the other party in a low voice.

The Reinhardt van Astrea standing in front of him is known as the strongest on the ground, and the other party is also the first knight and supporter of the little girl Felt, and is his competitor. Therefore, if possible, Emilia certainly hoped that Annie would agree and suppress her once again.

Of course, if Annie didn't want to, she wouldn't force it.

"..."

"..."

Different from Emilia's noncommittal attitude, at this time, the two twin sisters Ram and Rem who were also sitting on the side stared at 'Lai Aotian' angrily. To make that exorbitant demand of one of their great and honorable Anne masters.

"Um……"

(ー`′ー)

"Is it the kind that can be killed directly?"

?(′︶`)?

Annie's stomach is very full now, and she is in a state of being angry (because she can't eat anymore) and having nothing to do when she is full, so she definitely doesn't mind moving a little bit for the guy who comes to pick things up.

"!!"

"Lai Aotian" Reinhardt of course also heard Anne's words, so his expression couldn't help changing, and his expression gradually became stern and resolute.

But in the end, he stubbornly didn't say anything, and didn't refute Anne's words, but subconsciously grasped the handle at his waist, which has been passed down from generation to generation by sword masters. Only sword masters can hold it. Consciousness is the hilt of the dragon sword named 'Leid' with the highest status in the world.

"Killed?"

"No!!"

"That's definitely not possible!"

"Annie, this is just a challenge. It's a sparring or competition. It's not that kind of duel. It's absolutely impossible to kill!"

Afraid that Annie would really mess around, Emilia hurriedly waved her hands and explained loudly, finally getting Wilhelm on the side and Felutziqi in the distance looking nervously I breathed a sigh of relief.

"So it can't?"

('～`)

"That……"

(?~?)

"It's okay to get a good beating?"

(??ヮ??)?

"this……"

"As long as it is not fatal or incapacitating, it is allowed in the competition!"

"Since it's a challenge, it shouldn't be a problem to suffer a little injury, right?"

After taking a look at 'Lai Aotian' and seeing that the other person's face looked better, Emilia hurriedly nodded and added.

"Then he accepted his challenge!"

?(*?)?

Anyway, sitting here can only watch these guys eat, anyway, I have nothing to do now, so Annie jumped up cheering, and waved her little fist to express her acceptance of the other party's challenge request.

"Where are you going to fight? Is it here?"

(?Д?≡?д?)!?

As she said that, Annie didn't forget to look left and right, planning to find a handy weapon on the spot, which could beat the opponent severely but was not easy to kill.

(…)

(￣(?)￣)

Soon, as a sad little girl reached out and broke off a table leg of a small table as a weapon, and as everyone present expressed their willingness to be witnesses and referees, the rumored terrifying The little girl, the arcane archmage, the mysterious little girl who once made a fuss in the palace and killed the white whale alone, captured the monster rabbit and wiped out the witches, followed the crowd, and came to a spacious and spacious backyard of the Water Feather Pavilion. The cherry garden is ready.
