Chapter 193
In the game 'Beyond the Rainbow Gleam', the martial arts tournament was an event centered around Vincent Flame.
Vincent was set to participate in the martial arts tournament, and Reina would cheer for and support him.
However, behind the scenes of the tournament, foreign nations were scheming. Spies from enemy countries infiltrated the kingdom using the tournament, committing crimes such as royal assassinations and the theft of national treasures.
On top of that, a new main character would appear and fall in love with Reina at first sight... making it quite a hectic event.
"That should do it..."
Clael anonymously sent out several letters.
The recipients were the military police and knights' stations within the royal capital. The content of the letters was a tip-off about incidents that were about to occur.
He had informed the security personnel in advance about the misdeeds enemy spies would commit during the martial arts tournament.
(An anonymous, mysterious accusation. It might be too suspicious to be believed... but well, if that's the case, then so be it.)
It wasn't just one letter.
He had also mailed them to the homes of the heads of security, such as the Knight Captain and the commander of the military police.
Even if they didn't believe the contents of the letters and an incident occurred... it wouldn't be Clael's responsibility. He had done everything he could.
(To begin with, the scenario has already been heavily altered, and there's no guarantee an incident will occur... but still, better to be cautious.)
If they believed the letters weren't a prank, they would likely investigate who had sent them.
However, they shouldn't be able to trace them back to Clael.
The paper, ink, and stationery he used were all common items, making identification difficult.
This world doesn't have fingerprint investigation methods... and just in case, he wore gloves while writing the letters. There's no way they could trace them back to Clael.
"Lord Clael, are you done with your errand?"
"Reina."
Reina greeted Clael with a bashful smile as he returned from mailing the letters.
Clael and Reina were in the middle of an outing in town.
"Yes, it's done. Sorry to keep you waiting."
"It's fine. Well then... shall we resume our date?"
"Hahaha... A date, huh? That's a bit much."
He gave a wry smile at Reina, who beamed at him cheerfully.
Yes... the two of them were on a date.
Though calling it a date, they were simply out shopping together.
Recently, with the martial arts tournament approaching, there were stalls set up everywhere, and street performers were entertaining in the plazas.
The two of them were strolling through such a town.
"Now then... what should we look at first?"
"Anything's fine. As long as I'm with you, Lord Clael."
Reina said, sticking close to him like a small dog walking with its owner.
If she had a tail on her back, it would surely be wagging like a fan.
"Then let's start by checking out the stalls. Looks like merchants from foreign countries are here too... there must be some rare items."
"Yes, gladly!"
Reina clung to Clael's arm.
They weren't currently exploring Reverse Academy, so there shouldn't have been any need for such close contact...
"It's really crowded before the festival. If we get separated, it'll be a disaster!"
"...Well, you're not wrong."
Reina's reasoning had a point.
The main street of the royal capital was overflowing with people.
If they didn't hold hands, they might get separated.
"Yes, so it can't be helped."
"............"
Seeing Reina so unusually cheerful, Clael found himself unable to say anything more.
It wasn't like it cost him anything... but he couldn't help wondering how they appeared to the people around them.
(A teacher going on a date with a female student on their day off... isn't that kind of a problem...?)
"Ehehehehe..."
That doubt crossed his mind... but Reina's jewel-like smile washed it away, and he couldn't bring himself to say it aloud.
