No one at the scene paid any attention to the blond man.
Chaoyang did not forget his original purpose.
"What was that ritual you were talking about?"
The blond man looked at Chaoyang with gratitude. After all, he didn't expect that the prime minister's daughter would have such a close friend like a best friend, and she became the target of recruitment.
"Actually, you just drank these two glasses of wine in front of me as a ceremony to show your loyalty to His Highness."
“…Is there anything in there?”
Chaoyang didn't say anything to the blond man, but turned around and asked Xiangliang.
"Yes, it's a poison that will take effect in about ten days."
Liang immediately answered calmly.
"Ms. Sophie! Have you said too much? Even if you're a friend, you still have to follow the rules, okay?"
The blond man couldn't hold it in anymore. He originally thought that the prime minister's daughter was a cold-blooded person. After all, she was quiet and never showed her emotions.
As a result, since these two people came, I feel like they are completely different people from the ones I met before.
"No."
Ryo said as he shook his head.
"I can't explain this to His Highness. After all, we have important things to do next! Miss Sophie, this is not a joke! We can't break the rules because of personal feelings!"
The blond man ran over and started yelling at Liang.
Chaoyang already had his hand on his sword, ready to finish off this somewhat annoying guy who had interrupted his friend's farewell. He also wanted to hug Liang and hand him the original Shimokitazawa school uniform he had ordered from his bag. And of course, the black stockings!
However, since it would be troublesome to deal with the situation afterwards and it might even implicate Liang, he loosened his grip on the hilt.
"Um...forget about this person's name. This is a slender girl. Can you give us a friend a half-price discount? Is it okay for me to drink alone?"
"No... Chaoyang can't drink it either."
Liang pushed Hongxia aside, walked straight over and pressed the wine glass.
Liang didn't know Chaoyang's physical condition yet, so at this moment, his nervous expression rarely showed.
"Miss Sophie...your current behavior can be considered a betrayal of His Highness!"
The blond man started to tip his hat to Ryo, but Ryo still ignored him and reminded Chaoyang.
"...Asahi, Pochi, Yukino, and...um...ah yes, Yuyuko is here too."
"Great, everyone's here... huh? No, where's Kita?"
"There's no news yet from Kita."
"Yeah……"
Chaoyang's harem collection journey has now reached about 90% progress.
"Since Kita didn't come to the capital, he's either lost his memory or is no longer in the Central Kingdoms, or perhaps both. So, should we look for him in the Northern Kingdoms or the South? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"Aren't you guys... talking too much about personal matters... It's about time you stopped."
The blond man reminded again.
"Although it is poison, Your Highness possesses the antidote. We are unable to conduct background checks on those who pledge allegiance, so this is the only way to avoid it."
"Hmm? There are probably many people in this world who are willing to give their names to their masters. What if one of them sneaks in, drinks poison, and goes undercover with the determination to die?"
"…Don't worry, we have a solution."
The blond man's expression didn't change, so it was obviously not something he had expected.
It's not just poison.
This is the conclusion drawn by Chaoyang.
"My bottom line is that I can't let my wife drink this, otherwise I will give up."
After saying that, Chaoyang threw the two bags of gold coins back on the table.
Liang frowned...
"wife?"
He turned around to look at Hongxia, who was looking at the ground guiltily and whistling.
"That scumbag actually attacked Hong Xia! She's supposed to support me in my old age!"
Liang looked at Chaoyang with disdain.
Hong Xia in the distance couldn't hold back any longer.
"I didn't promise to support you in your old age!!!"
The serious atmosphere was finally transformed into a relaxed one.
The blond man seemed to admit defeat.
"Okay...as long as you drink it...after all, she's Miss Sophie's friend, and it wouldn't be nice to have a falling out. But Miss Sophie, I hope there won't be a next time."
"Well, there won't be a next time."
Smiling Chaoyang answered on behalf of Liang.
After all, his purpose was to sneak in and meet the second prince, cut the Gordian knot, help Yukino solve the trouble, and then go find the rest of the people.
After saying that, Chaoyang suddenly raised the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"...I truly admire you, Your Excellency. You knew there was poison in it, yet you drank it without hesitation."
The blond man didn't expect that after hesitating for so long, Chaoyang drank it all in one gulp after the conditions were met. He even went forward to check if the wine had been switched.
"It tastes good, have another one."
"Idiot! If you drink too much, the dosage will be different! The onset time will also be different!"
The blond man quickly knocked over his wine glass.
I wanted to prevent Chaoyang from dying before the plan was implemented.
"Ahhh~ Such good wine is wasted like this."
Chaoyang did this because he really thought the food tasted good, and also to reassure the other person that he had indeed drunk the poison.
"Since you are already His Highness's servant, please do not act without permission! ... I have to report to His Highness, so I won't disturb you from reminiscing."
The blond man even took away the wine jug when he left, fearing that Chaoyang would continue drinking by himself.
"Fool…"
Liang's face darkened and he looked at Chaoyang.
"...doing something so foolish...I don't have an antidote at home. Even a powerful monk can't cure this poison...I have no choice but to capture him..."
She didn't know what to do, and her cheeks began to sweat from nervousness.
Chaoyang just made a gesture to keep quiet
"Is there anything like a backroom conversation in Ryo?"
197. Conversation in a closed room and...
With a noise.
The bookshelf slowly revealed a door to the side.
"come in."
Liang was walking in front, but he had changed into the Shimokitazawa High School uniform.
Chaoyang walked behind and looked at the soft and smooth black silk thighs, which was very pleasing to the eyes.
"Pervert... who would let the girls change into their favorite clothes first."
Hongxia kept poking Chaoyang from behind to express her dissatisfaction.
"Eh? I think everyone would prefer wearing their original outfits, right? Right, Ryo."
"Well, this is more comfortable."
Walking in front of the cool
"Then why am I the only one wearing the team uniform and also given extra white tights?"
"Well... you already know the reason anyway, so why bother asking?"
Qiaoqiao touched Hongxia's back, but was immediately punched back by Hongxia.
The three of them arrived at a hidden underground chamber. Unlike the luxurious decor above, this chamber featured pale pink wallpaper with subtle floral patterns, adding a touch of warmth to the subterranean space. A central table was white, its legs intricately carved. Nearby, several chairs of the same style, cushioned in soft pink fabric, created a cozy atmosphere. But the most surprising thing was the presence of two acoustic basses, also known as acoustic basses.
"This is my personal secret room, but I didn't arrange it."
"Does this world still have bass guitars? Are there drum kits? I haven't played in a long time and I want to give it a try."
Liang picked up the bass from the stand, then sat on the soft bed and began to play and explain.
"I asked someone to make it. They drew the design and then gave me step-by-step instructions. After all, it's impossible to make an electric guitar without electricity. I also helped Pochi, Yuyuko, and Yukino make their own instruments."
Only someone like Liang who knows the materials of musical instruments so well can guide others to make them. Hong Xia at least never had such an idea.
"After all, we're not really into the idea of another world, and Yukino's almost reached her limit."
Liang's face darkened and he stopped plucking the strings.
"She's under the most pressure. Luckily, Pochi and Yuyuko are by her side... well... helping to relieve her stress and protect her."
"Hmm? Protect? Both of them?"
Hongxia was surprised again. After all, she didn't know about Yuyuko, but Pochi was the most physically exhausted person she had ever seen.
"Well, Pochi and Yuyuko traveled through time and inherited their identities and powers. They helped Yukino a lot."
Liang, who usually doesn't talk much, said so much at once for the first time in order to explain the situation to Chaoyang and Hongxia.
"It's good to know that everyone is safe and that they've retained their memories. Hong Xia, however... almost ended up with the locals."
"Idiot! That's not true at all! Don't talk nonsense, it's just because you were..."
Hearing Chaoyang revealing her secrets, Hongxia immediately became anxious. She originally wanted to say that according to her memory, she actually had a crush on Chaoyang, but saying that made her even more shy, so she stopped halfway.
The morning sun is just right, just look at the lovely Hongxia Hongwen to set the mood.
Patted Hongxia on the back of the head.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore and get down to business. After this farce is over, you can chat as long as you want. Liang, what's going on? What do you want us to do? Drink poisoned wine... He's definitely going to do something. According to my guess, he won't give us the antidote even after we do it. And judging by his attitude that he's not afraid of those who come here, it's definitely not just poison. Since this is a magical world, it's probably related to magic like mind manipulation."
Chaoyang narrowed his eyes and began to analyze, waiting for the answer from Ruoliang.
"I don't know..."
"...Tsk, you're such an unreliable guy! You're not going to waste all your time on your instrument, are you?"
“Playing a musical instrument is not a waste of time!”
Liang expressionlessly wanted to hit Chaoyang to punish him for his insulting words to the musical instrument.
Chaoyang didn't mind being beaten by the beautiful girl, it was more like a reward...
"boom!"
Unexpectedly, the unprepared Chaoyang was hammered directly into the wall.
"Liang! What are you doing!?"
Hongxia was stunned, but she still ran to Chaoyang who was embedded in the wall and tried to pull him out.
"...I'll become powerful too, but I'll be a serious female knight! Hmm!"
Liang puffed out his chest proudly.
"You...are you really not afraid that I will die..."
