Chapter 139
While Yeman and Mayu were talking in the corner, Hemina was stuck with Night and the others. Yet, her eyes were gazing towards Yeman and Mayu.
She wanted to initiate a conversation with the girl beside her. However, this girl is a girl of few words! She only replied with a yes or no.
Hah! She sighed. Deep inside she felt lonely and bothered. She wanted to listen to their conversation, but she wasn’t particularly close with Mayu.
Damn though, she couldn’t settle her feelings. Mina wondered why she felt like this. She felt relieved when Eman told her that Sol was just his boss. Although she was still worried, she felt relieved somehow that their relationship wasn’t to that level. Wait, what level she was expecting?
While Mina was troubled, Mayu noticed something, “Look, brother Eman. That girl from Skyblaze seemed to be gazing at us like she wanted to devour me! Fufu. Don’t tell me the two of you are in a relationship?”
“Spare me from the teasing, Big Sis May.”
.....
“Fufufu, don’t worry, I actually wanted to advise you not to lay a hand on her.”
“Hm, is Big Sis May know about her?” He asked.
“Hemina Skyblaze...” Mayu then told him what she knew about Mina.
‘I see... so she was from a big family, no wonder she was so hard to deal back in the mission,’ Yeman thought in reminiscing.
Yeman glanced and saw Mina sneaking glances at them. On the other hand, Night was having an expressionless face. But in truth, she repeatedly asked him through telepathy.
He brought her here for the purpose of wanting to practice her on how to socialize. But it looked like it was a big failure.
In truth, many men took an interest in Night. And some even stole glances at her. Her beauty was like a magnet to them. But after the duel a while ago, all of them are skeptical now to approach her, after they knew that she was associated with him.
Especially when Mina was standing near her. The two of them were very tempting flowers. However, they cower after learning Mina’s identity. She was a kind of thorny flower. They wouldn’t even dare to stare her in the eyes. After all, she was the young Miss of the third strongest family of the empire. Who was brave enough to anger such a family?
Well, at the moment, Mina was angry, for another reason. In her mind, ‘Why is that person together with Big Sis Mayu? And he said he would come back pretty fast. But it was already 5 minutes that they were talking. Wait, why did I feel angry though?’ Mina could not understand herself.
The banquet’s ambiance had returned to normal. People were happily chatting with each other. The lofty, smug behavior of the nobles a while ago had already been minimized. The reason for it was the duel a while ago.
Not all, but most of the guests were harmoniously enjoying the banquet.
Jura and his friends already left. He had no face to show after his defeat.
While Mina was asking questions to Night, she noticed that this girl known as Sol had little knowledge regarding the empire. Perhaps she didn’t originate in the empire. Probably from a foreign country.
“Big Sis Mina!”
Out of reflex, Mina glanced to the owner of the voice. As expected, it was her. “Princess!” She called out.
The princess then dragged Mina with her. Mina let the princess drag her.
Night was standing alone. Although she seemed to be not doing anything, her gaze was on him.
“...”
Eina and Aunt Claire took their food.
“By the way, Big Sis Mina, do you know that person?” The princess pointed in Yeman’s direction.
“Ah, don’t tell me Princess doesn’t know of Big Sis Mayu?”
“No, I don’t mean her!” She retorted.
“Eh? Then who?”
“That guy with her,” she pointed.
‘What? Could it be... the princess too?’ Mina thought.
“Ahem! Uhm, may I know why you are asking princess?”
“Curious only.”
“.....”
“Actually, I noticed you and him talking a while ago.”
In truth, the princess was very surprised to see him here. She could not forget that person. He was the person that was their supposed target that evening.
Although she could not tell Big Sis Mina about it. She understood why Jura of the Gentlewind family was defeated by him. After all, not even her, who was a gold rank, was able to defeat him.
“I see. We are on the same squad back in the mission...” Mina told her what she knows.
“Fufu, I see. Regardless, Big Sis, I almost could not recognize you. You look so gorgeous tonight. Uh, Big Sis, don’t tell me...”
“No way!” Mina bashfully denied. That guy did not even say something about how she looks tonight.
“But why do you look so flustered, Big Sis Mina?”
Mina felt he fell into her trap. “Ahem!” Mina cleared her throat to regain her composure. “Anyway, Princess, why are you asking about him? Do you know him by chance? I don’t really think that you are curious only.”
Mina changed her way of talking to her usual tone.
“Eh? Ahaha... no, no, I’m curious only. Okay, Big Sis, I gotta go, see you...”
“.....”, Mina fell silent and sighed at the retreating figure of the princess. She thought the princess was acting suspicious. She stole a glance at Eman and saw him wearing a serious face while talking with Mayu.
“Tsk, it is almost 10 minutes.” Mina stomped her foot. But she stopped suddenly when she remembered something. Wait, wasn’t he lost his memory? Right. It must be the reason for his sudden change. She forgot his amnesia as he was acting normal even though he lost his memory. This guy, even though he was suffering... wouldn’t even show it to others. Mina felt a throbbing sensation from within. She bit her lips and resolved herself. Then, she walked towards the two.
The music suddenly changed into a soft and melodious sound. Then some guests started to go in the middle with partners.
Yeman and Mayu were surprised when Mina suddenly interjected at their conversation and told him that she let him dance with her for no apparent reason.
“.....”
Yeman fell silent and Mayu chuckled.
Mina’s face was very bashful. Damn it, it was her first time to feel so embarrassed. But her embarrassment magically went away when he took her hand.
Magically though. She felt so happy. Why? She asked herself for this magical feeling.
The next morning. Yeman woke up late. Although they went back early from the banquet, the accumulated fatigue of lacking sleep took the better of him.
Before getting up, he checked the time and date. He noticed that it was today that the Academy should open. But it was only the first day. On earth, a first-day class wasn’t really that productive.
He was usually absent on the first day of school. Regardless, after he told him that he had amnesia, Herro asked to help him with the academy requirements.
Yeman took a bath. He needed to go to the academy somehow.
