Chapter 105 – It Was Natural for This to Happen.
When something happened that anyone who knew Dain Adamas would never believe, that Dain Adamas’ mana had disappeared, Mei Ruina asked back in disbelief, even though she herself sensed the disappearance of her mana.
“Yes? What on earth is that…”
“I can’t feel Dyne Adamas’ mana. “It would be correct to say something happened inside.”
“Clearly… I can no longer feel the fierce mana that was piercing my skin just moments ago. By any chance, Mr. Dain Adamas, did you faint…?”
“Maybe so. “First, since it doesn’t look like the kidnapping we were hoping for… Or rather worrying about, will happen, we have no choice but to go in first.”
That Dain Adamas fainted, Mei Ruina couldn’t believe it even after she said it herself, but the answer she received from Mir Ryuin was that it could be so.
When Mir Ryuin returned instead of rebutting, May Rui’s mind immediately wondered, ‘Is that really possible?’ She almost did something to refute what she said, but she soon realized who the person who was with Dain Adamas was. I thought about it and swallowed her retort.
“That’s right. Well then, shall we go in?”
“······Let’s go.”
Mana is the power that embodies will into reality, so not feeling mana usually means that the mana user has reached a state where they cannot express their will.
Of course, there is a way to capture and hide the flowing mana, but since the target is Dain Adamas, there is no need to worry about that.
Because she was the strongest awakened person who had no reason to hoard her own power.
Therefore, the two people decided that Dain Adamas had fainted, and since nothing would change even if they stayed outside in that situation, they chose to go into the café.
“Hmm, boss, we’re here!”
“Were there many customers?”
Mir Ryuin and May Ryuina greeted each other in a very casual and peaceful tone, showing off their spirits without arousing suspicion among the Stays inside.
At the same time, the two began a conversation through ‘Managiki – Electric Sound’, which can only be used by B-class awakened people and above.
This was because the content of the conversation should not have been revealed to Stay.
[Found. It’s in the warehouse. I definitely fainted when I saw him sprawled out on the floor with only his butt up.]
It was Mir Ryuin who found Dain Adamas first.
[I see. Anyway, the fact that a person who was emitting vicious mana like a starving animal just a moment ago suddenly became like that…]
Soon after, Mei Ruina also found her, and the two of them were instantly trembled by Dain Adamas’s tail.
[Mr. Stay… I guess that’s what it is.]
[… It must have been Stay’s doing.]
It was because I could imagine what happened inside.
Contrary to expectations that Stay would be kidnapped by Dain Adamas, he knocked out Dain Adamas so easily and conveniently, as if eating a cake from a plate.
It was natural for the two of them to tremble because the fact that they made Adamas, who was no one else, mean that they could easily end up like that too.
[Well, if our true identity is discovered, will we end up like Dain Adamas?]
[······Well, if you just stop clapping, you can avoid something like that. Huh. First, we are S-class awakeners and our stay is F-class. You can sense and react to the level of movement of the stay even while you are sleeping.]
Seeing Dain Adamas lying unconscious in such a vulgar manner, Mir Ryuin thought of a way to avoid being treated like that even if his identity was revealed to Stay.
As Mir Ryuin said, the simple yet sure method of ‘suppressing Stay before he applauds’ was a very easy to implement response method.
[······Are you confident?]
[······.]
Until I heard this question from May Ruina.
When you think about common sense, it didn’t make sense that they, S-class awakeners, couldn’t stop the movements of Stay, an F-class fellow.
Although Stay had transcendental hand skills that even the two people couldn’t recognize, these were just hand skills.
Therefore, if you grab his hand before clapping or caressing him, he won’t be able to use his hand techniques, and even if his identity is discovered by Stay, he won’t end up like Dain Adamas.
If you think about it in common sense, this is what would happen if two people confronted Stay, who was trying to applaud.
However, when Mir Ryuin was asked by May Ruina whether he was confident, he could not give the answer of ‘yes’, which was based on such common sense judgment.
[······.]
For some reason, the image of preventing Stay from applauding was not drawn.
Even though he possessed an intellect so outstanding that he was called the master of magic, Mir Ryuin could not understand this situation itself.
The best way to solve the problem in this frustrating situation with no answer was to ‘just try to see if it works’, but if you did that, your identity would be revealed, you would be abandoned by Stay, and you would take a shortcut to ruining your life. Unfortunately, I couldn’t use that method.
[······May Rui or you. Can you stop Stay’s applause?]
So Mir Ryuin very cowardly chose to answer the question as a question.
[Ha, can I stop Mr. Stay from applauding? Ask something obvious like that. I am Saint May Ruina and Mr. Stay is just Mr. Stay.]
But Mei Ruina, unlike Mir Liuin, she was confident in her answer to this question.
Because it was only natural for Mei Ruina to answer these questions.
[So, of course, the result is also determined. Stay’s applause is so easy…]
So Mei Ruina tried her whole voice to give her answer, which Mir Ruin could not say, ‘I can.’
[Shh, easy…]
I just tried.
[······.]
[······.]
In the end, for the same reason as Mir Ryuin, May Ruina also could not answer the question, ‘Are you confident that you can stop Stay’s applause?’
Even though they began to convey the message without Stay noticing at best, an awkward silence fell between the two, and the frustration of why they could not answer this easy question grew bigger in their hearts as the silence lasted longer. Br〉
“Haha… I’m a guest. Hmm. I didn’t come. What about ‘guests’?”
Fortunately, the awkward silence didn’t last long.
It was thanks to Stay answering the questions the two people asked when they came in.
The two welcomed Stay’s voice, which broke the silence, but at the same time, they felt horrified by his answer, which seemed to treat Dain Adamas as a guest… Or even as a person.
The moment their identity was revealed, they thought that they too might end up like Dain Adamas, who fainted in a warehouse with only a piece of bread raised.
“······.”
“······.”
This time too, it was Stay’s voice that melted the frozen two people.
“Oh, Mr. Nir and Mr. Mary, did you finish your work well?”
“Yes, yes? Ah, yes! Well, I finished it well!”
“Yes, that’s right. Go with Mary. Hmm. “It ended well.”
“Thank god. You may feel this is a bit out of the ordinary, but… I was worried. “I guess I know the circumstances of both of you.”
A very warm and friendly voice, very different from the cold and stiff voice that Stay gave when answering the question about whether there were any guests just now.
“Ehehehe… Thank you for your concern. As I said, I finished it well. It’s thanks to the boss’s concern. Right, Sister Nir?”
“Yes. That’s right. And boss, what you did for us wasn’t crazy, so it’s okay if you don’t think that way. You are our boss. I am the boss’s employee. “The more you worry about it, the happier I will be.”
“Is that so? This is so embarrassing… Haha.”
[Ouch! What’s with that awkward smile! Did you decide to do that? You’re subtly trying to trick me into attacking you now, right!]
[······Huh?! Oh no, May Ruina. It’s not time yet. Today is the café opening day that Stay has been waiting for so long. If you do something like that on a day like this, something irreversible will happen!]
[Ah, ah! Yeah, that’s right. Wow, I almost got into big trouble. I almost lost my temper with that simple smile and gave my virginity to Mr. Stay! Thank you for stopping, Mir Ryuin.]
The two people’s hearts trembled to the point where they thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be okay to live like this while hiding their identities for the rest of their lives?’ At the fact that Stay was worried about them and the slightly embarrassed smile that followed.
To that extent, the two people were addicted to the warmth of Stay and the daily life with it, and because of that, they stopped being alert for a time bomb passed out in the warehouse for just a moment.
Rustling.
And, to their horror, at that moment when they stopped being alert, Dain Adamas woke up.
“······Hot?! “Stay!!!”
Bang bang! Kwajangchangchang!
Because it was a moment late in detecting Dain Adamas’s state, the two could only watch her appear as she blew open the closed warehouse door.
“······What. Mir Ryuin and May Ruina? “Why are you here?”
After that, it was a natural process for this to happen.
