Chapter 159: 159
Evan D . Sherden at the Party (5)

“Cluttered . ”

That was the first-word Arisha said while looking inside the party hall . Evan had a bitter smile on his face as Shine quietly stood behind them .

“Compared to Maybell’s sense, it’s not enough . ”

“Yes, yes . Now I see how great of a party planner Maybell is . ”

[The second son of the Sherden family and the noble Miss Arisha von Pellati are now entering!]

The moment Evan tried to explain what a party planner was, the attendant standing guard at the entrance announced their arrival . The nobles who were chatting throughout the venue turned to look at them all at once .

“Huh . ”

“That boy…”

“He came with the daughter of the Pellati family . How pretty . ”

“Yes, yes . They said the first wife of the Marquis was beautiful, and now I know just by looking at her son . ”

“You mean that boy is the owner of the Brotherhood Pharmacy?”

“Is that pretty maid with them? I can’t see her well . ”

There was turmoil throughout the party hall . It was no wonder since Sherden’s treasure, and his rumored fiancée had finally appeared in person . Moreover, their beauty surpassed rumors about them .

“Shall we go then, lady?”

“Please escort me, gentle sir . ”

Evan and Arisha exchanged such conversation as if it were completely natural and then gently held each other’s hand as they stepped into the venue . They moved politely but confidently, Evan’s black hair and Arisha’s platinum fluttering behind them like an aurora, or so it seemed to those in the hall .

“Huh…”

“I feel like my soul is refreshed just by seeing them . ”

“I don’t know if they’re engaged, but the rumors of their relationship are true . ”

“Both are children of the dungeon city that have received the blessings of the heavens…heh . ”

“Isn’t he the commander of the dungeon knights?”

“Are those following them the reputable servant and the maid? The rumors were lacking…they are not behind their masters at all . No, rather…”

“Everything is perfect except for the middle-aged man in the back . ”

They endured without going to parties such as this until now to hide, but that had only made them more noticeable . However, because of their amplified expectations being more than satisfied, they seemed to have a problem with Dain, the escort knight who was in the back . He wiped away his tears .

“Evan, this isn’t very fun . ”

“I’ll listen to your complaints later, so focus on acting now . ”

“…Yes . I haven’t forgotten . ”

Meanwhile, Arisha had joined Evan and forgotten all outside interests . Faced with the gazes of all those people, her cheeks were puffed out as if she didn’t like it, but she calmed down upon hearing Evan’s voice . Yes, she had Evan by her side now . That was enough to receive their gazes calmly .

“Young master, I’ll serve you at the table . ”

“Alright . ”

On the other hand, Shine seemed to liven up at the attention, escorting the party in a fixed posture Evan had never seen before . Belois was in a similar state, seemingly having more energy than when they entered the dungeon .

“Is that girl really a maid? What fool would leave her as a maid? Of course, she’s still young…”

“I like the dungeon city’s prestige . They’re attracting all kinds of wealth from around the world, so even servants like that are decorated as such . ”

“Isn’t he in control of the pharmacy? A little boy who knows nothing…”

“No matter how good he is, he’s the second son and not the successor . The Marquis seems to like him, though . ”

“You, don’t be rude . If you don’t want the dungeon city to be an enemy, be careful what you say . ”

The Sherden family that governed the dungeon city was a major player in this country, so even the nobles couldn’t talk rudely of them . So, people were whispering in small voices so that they couldn’t be heard, except Evan’s five senses had already transcended human limits long ago .

“They’re talking about subjects they don’t have the courage to discuss in front of us . ”

“That’s because they are rubbish . ”

It wasn’t just Evan . Shine, Belois, and Arisha had all broken through the 20th floor and were clearly able to hear the nobles’ whispers .

“Evan, are you going to pretend you don’t know? Then I’ll take care of it . ”

“We’ll just end up being made a fool, Arisha . ”

“I’ve no intention of showing off right now . I’ll remember their families and exact revenge later . ”

“No, that’s scary, so please stop . ”

“But Pellati will surely pay back the insults ten times . To curse Evan is to curse

me . ”

Arisha’s voice was passionate, but her expression was calm, which made it even more frightening . He lightly squeezed her hand .

“You don’t need to worry about it . They’re saying those things because they can’t even guess we’re listening…of course, if there is anything that insults us, we won’t let it go . ”

Evan had recognized that he had become strong despite being once helpless, and he wouldn’t let others walk over that .

‘But that’s a separate matter . ’

He had no intention of denying his identity or position . He was the second son of the Marquis, who ruled the dungeon city . To insult him was to insult the Marquis, and to go beyond that, the names of not only Evan but also the Marquis would be brought low . If anyone were to cross that line, he would not hesitate to force them to their knees .

“If Evan thinks so… I’m okay too . ”

“I won’t let them insult you, so rest assured, Arisha . Now, let’s sit down . ” The party sat at the simple table prepared for them . The butler, Shine, and the maid, Belois, weren’t comfortable yet with attending to them, but they seemed to enjoy the situation .

“I will bring tea, master, young lady . ”

“Make sure to respond appropriately to anyone who comes . ”

“…Why are these guys so excited?”

“Sometimes they want to be faithful to their jobs . ”

Evan and Arisha idly chatted with Shine and Belois while they enjoyed the party’s food and drink . They hadn’t come here to secure connections; rather, their primary purpose was to spread the rumors about Evan and Arisha’s relationship . 1602

‘Well, we had a secondary purpose originally, but meeting Anastasia solved it much smoother than planned . ’

So Evan just had to focus on his time with Arisha . By the end of the party, the rumors he wanted to spread would come out . No, wasn’t that what Arisha wanted?

…It feels like my retreat is being blocked . ’

What the hell was Arisha thinking? He couldn’t tell, but it was clear she didn’t hate him .

‘I have to be careful about narrowing the distance . If I ever grow to like Arisha as a member of the opposite sex…’

In the main story of Yo-ma Great War 3, Arisha would love him no matter what route the protagonist took . It could be said that it was absolute fate . Of course, this world wasn’t a game, and Evan himself had changed significantly from the game, as had Arisha . So it couldn’t be said that it was still unconditional . Those scenes were too intense and terrible for him to forget, however, when Evan had been discouraged by his fiancée’s remorse and committed suicide . Negative emotions arose from that remembered trauma .

“Evan is making another funny face . ”

“You know that I hate that, yet you keep saying it . ”

“No, I hope that you will have fun when you are with me . I’m not doing it on purpose . ”

Evan let it go at that point . She had changed after visiting the dungeon .

“… Still, thank you for letting me know . ”

“Yes, if there is anything I would like to fix, it would be you telling me that right away . ”

“I’m afraid you’ll say it’s fun again, so keep it to a minimum . ”

“But you are so fun . ”

Although there were many elements to be tackled in their conversation, at least on the surface, the two appeared to be hooked to each other . It was a perfectly formed space just for those two that others couldn’t dare step within . However, there were those who would charge in even though they knew defeat awaited for them . There was such a person here, a Don Quixote willing to rush the windmill .

“Young master, this is Myrti from Count Duben . ”

“Huh? Ah . ”

He had been so absorbed in the conversation that he had lost track of his surroundings . Evan raised his head at Shine’s words and looked straight ahead . An aristocrat who looked several years older than him was there .

“Are you Evan from the Marquis of Sherden? I’ve wanted to meet you . ”

“It’s nice to meet you too . ”

It was impossible to ignore the approaching person, no matter how focused he had been on Arisha . He responded modestly so as not to seem rude .

“Rumors of you are spreading all over the kingdom . Sherden’s treasure! Today I see that the rumors weren’t over-exaggerating . It’s a great honor to see you here…”

“I’m honored to see you as well . I’m afraid that the nickname is undeserved . There is another who suits the word ‘treasure’ better . ”

“Mh?”

“This is Arisha from the Pellati family who has joined me . ”

“Uh…?”

Suddenly the atmosphere shifted, and the aristocrat’s face stiffened, but Evan pretended not to notice .

“I used to be confident in my own appearance, but I was arrogant . I met Arisha here and realized what true beauty was…”

“Uh…?”

“Evan, how embarrassing . ”

At the right timing, Arisha chimed in . She said she was embarrassed, but she had a big smile on her face . In fact, if it weren’t for the current situation, she wanted to ask what part of her was beautiful .

“And excuse me . ”

“Oh, I see . I apologize…”

“Oh, no . It’s okay…then, have a good time . ”

At the end of the perfect play, Don Quixote lost to the windmill and ran away in tears . The gallery cried along with him . The windmill showed off its invincibility and slew a dozen more Don Quixotes after that . As a result, an oddly excited atmosphere began to circulate around the venue until the party’s owner appeared .

At least the first goal was achieved perfectly
