Overgeared

“What? On the first night of my honeymoon, you ran to another woman and proposed? Is this real…? Isn’t it like garbage from an affair movie?” 

Vantner was straightforward. He didn’t hesitate to scold his friend’s transgressions. It was an attitude that came from goodwill. He was inclined to give attention and a strong warning so that his friend didn’t go wrong from violating morality. This was what Grid liked. 

“I couldn’t sit back and watch Mers be sad. Basara also told me to go to Mers first.” 

Basara was much older than Grid. She was from the imperial family and a duke who ascended to the rank of empress with the will of the former emperor. She cared for all her people. She had very deep thoughts and had an excellent ability to read the situation. She read Mercedes’ grief at the wedding venue and inferred Mercedes’ relationship with Grid. She weighed the situation where the two of them got married or couldn’t get married, and considered the best choice.

In order to breed the seeds of unity, she raised the issue with Grid. She asked Grid to go to Mercedes. She encouraged the love of the two to come to fruition. 

“I think people’s relationships and feelings should be a springboard, not a stumbling block.” 

This was what Basara said that night. She was wise and explained the importance of relationships, and this resonated with Grid. Before Mercedes’ heart could fall into an uncontrollable abyss, he ran and caught her. 

“Um… Mercedes was sad. Basara understood… then there is no problem… right?” 

Vantner heard the explanation and had a subtle expression as he was convinced. 

“Thinking positively… I’m glad that you have a sense of responsibility. Every time he meets a new lover, Pon will abandon his former lover.” 

“It is rude to compare me with Pon. I’m not a flirt.” 

“……”

It happened as his colleagues were looking at Grid with expressions of absurdity… 

Grid’s line of sight tilted. His clear eyes stayed at the opposite window behind his colleagues. After a few seconds, Faker’s posture in the shadow shook slightly. A few seconds after that… 

“What type of monsters are these…?” 

Katz was agitated. His face turned white and the atmosphere became turbulent. 

“Is it an invasion?” 

Grid restrained the nervous Overgeared members who were arming themselves. “No, they are guests. Don’t worry about it.” 

Grid’s combination of Transcend and Shunpo was now as natural as flowing water. He had enough stamina that he wouldn’t get tired even if he used it several times in a row. He calmed down his colleagues and moved out the window, flying over the spires. He also pulled down the mass of Greed above his head and used one of his powers. Greed spread out like a tent to wrap around the surroundings, enclosing the space. 

“Have you been well?” 

Shortly after, two people arrived. There was Biban of the Tower of Wisdom and the other tower member—

“Hello.” It was Betty. Unlike Biban, Betty’s outings weren’t common, so Grid felt some uneasiness. 

“What brings the two of you here…?” 

“Baal’s Contractor of this era will lose his qualifications.” Betty was different from Biban. There were no distractions around her, so she immediately revealed her business. The contents were shocking. 

“It is very serious since Baal’s power mixed in the contractor’s soul will be released and leaked.”

“Baal’s power is the source of all evil. It will seduce witnesses with strong power and malice. In particular, dragons.” 

“I think Baal designed it like this intentionally.” 

“The power to attract dragons…” 

“Yes, when Granny Betty lost her power, Nevartan and Bunhelier flew in. It was unlucky. This incident occurred close to the lairs of those two dragons. Even if I say it is close, it was still hundreds of kilometers away.”
