Chapter 277.2. Finally, Summer Vacation!
Following the manager’s lead, she felt the gazes of various people in the lobby. Mii-chan might be starting to become famous.
Or maybe it was the gazes of assassins. It’s difficult to tell.
“The observation restaurant is on the 25th floor, Countess Takanono.”
The manager explained as we rode an elevator with reinforced glass walls that offered a panoramic view of the outside.
“Doesn’t that seem too high for the building’s height?”
“Our hotel is designed for noble guests, so the ceilings are three times higher than those in a regular hotel, and the rooms are spacious, which results in fewer floors.”
“It’s quite an architectural feat of magic.”
In my past life, they wouldn’t have been able to build such a tall and seemingly fragile skyscraper without considering earthquake resistance. This world’s unique construction made it possible for even a toothpick to become stronger than iron with the infusion of magic.
The composed young lady, Mii-chan, squished her cheeks against the rising elevator wall and gazed outside.
The many people below quickly turned into tiny dots, creating a scene resembling a diorama.
“What a fantastic view! Isn’t it? There are multiple spacious grounds, and food stalls are lined up like a town!”
Observing Mii-chan’s refined demeanor, the manager smiled warmly. It was probably because she consistently added “isn’t it?” at the end of her sentences.
We had ascended about 200 meters in height. Thanks to magic devices, the high-speed elevator stopped smoothly without any changes in air pressure.
With a light and melodic chime, the doors slid open.
In front of us, there were massive doors, and 6 warriors wearing enchanted armor stood to the side. Upon seeing us, they placed their hands on their ears and began communicating through earpieces.
One of the warriors, wearing glasses, looked in our direction. It was likely magic glasses. Lines of light raced across the lenses, and a magical circle appeared within.
“Gwaaah!”
Then, the lens shattered, and the man screamed in pain, clutching his eye.
[Freeze Needle]
The lens fragments clinked onto the carpet, and the other warriors reached for the swords at their hips.
At an unimaginable speed, an ice needle had pierced the glasses.
“What are you thinking?”
As the enraged leader shouted, Nimue smoothly stepped forward, her cool demeanor untouched. She held the hem of her skirt, nodded her head slightly in greeting, and spoke calmly.
“A person who uses armed magic devices, and without warning to my master. I acted as one should in such a situation. Is there a problem?”
“…Guh…”
Confronted by Nimue’s gaze as she lifted her head, the person who seemed to be the leader couldn’t help but let out a whimper and stepped back.
“What do you think? If I say it’s fine to use magic devices without warning, without anyone around knowing, and it’s just common sense. Would that be a sufficient reason for me to apologize?”
The warriors were filled with hostility, and the atmosphere grew tense, becoming heavy with silence.
The manager turned pale and shivered, while Ranko-san lowered herself slightly, ready to engage in combat at any moment.
The only sound we could hear was the groaning of the warrior who was crouching in pain. If anyone made a careless move, a battle might break out.
Mii-chan sighed, realizing that things could turn bloody if they continued like this. She was still a professional when it came to her security.
So, she clapped her little hands together to gather everyone’s attention.
“In this case, I think Nimue’s actions were correct! Do you plan to fight before having lunch?”
Everyone looked at Mii-chan with a puzzled expression at her relaxed attitude.
“Um… Countess Takano, why before lunch?”
“It’s called ‘one meal trigger’, isn’t it? I believe the current situation fits that perfectly!”
The captain timidly asks her this question on behalf of the team, so she proudly tells him. Mii-chan is a smart girl.
“Doesn’t that mean it’s on the brink of a fight?”
“Well, Nimue is my guard. I think it’s wrong for you to use magic devices without warning. So we won’t apologize!”
They said something, but I confidently brushed it off. I knew showing weakness in this kind of exchange wouldn’t be good.
Countess Takano’s escort was uncompromising, demonstrating her formidable skills. Even if they knew it was a magic detection [Magic Sense] device, their actions wouldn’t change.
“…That’s true. I’m sorry, Countess Takano.”
They must have realized our seriousness. The leader reluctantly nodded. It was good that he was someone who understood the situation.
“We also used an aggressive method, which was wrong, but we’re in a bind because there are many enemies. Oh, I’ll heal you.”
[Holy Heal]
Surrounded by a burst of light, the recovery magic healed the eyes of the warrior who had been crouching. He stood up unsteadily, relieved that I healed his eyes.
“May I pass now?”
“Oh, wait, please.”
As we were about to enter, the leader stopped us. Was there something else?
The leader cleared his throat awkwardly.
“May we request healing for those affected by the High Druid Arch Mage as well?”
Ah, I see. It seemed there was a reason why they had used magic devices without warning.
A slight sense of guilt arose in Mii-chan’s heart. That Grandpa Odin, always causing trouble.
