4-99: His Invincibility IV (1/5)

The merging of the two Snakes sent shockwaves rippling through the heads of the many nations, including those in Garesto. I havent born yet at the time, so this isnt firsthand information, but apparently, those who were familiar with the Snake were all on edge.

The people higher up knew that the Snake had leaked the information on purpose, so they couldnt help but worry that the secret organization might be attempting a major undertaking.

Dont tell me the various oversights during the preparations were because of

I cant say for certain to what extent, but its a fact that the two worlds had to accelerate their schedule, and the Snake was undoubtedly one of the reasons behind that.

The two worlds felt a sense of urgency to at least form a superficial alliance, as they didnt know what the Snake might do with their interworld operations.

Given that the motives of the Snake remained unclear for both worlds, it was a natural concern; however

Oh, so thats how it is.

When Myuhi told him that, the Mask just remarked with a hint of admiration in his text(voice).

It was the most terrifying and spine-chilling expression she had ever witnessed.



A catering area had been setup in the backstage of the live venue, so that staff and other related personnel could find time between their responsibilities to sate their hunger.

The air was full of life. The people here were clearly unaware of the incidents that had occurred just some time ago.

That lack of knowledge allowed them to carry themselves without fear or caution.

The change in plans sure was on short notice, but thanks to that I get to attend Monicas concert! How lucky!

That was the general impression of the new staff. While some might be skeptical due to how abrupt this was, most of the people in this industry were used to the unusual challenges it repeatedly threw at them, so instead of dwelling on idle suspicions, most of them chose to just diligently do their job.

Monica and her team were currently taking a break in the makeshift dressing room.

Contrary to Monicas expectations, they barely had any interaction with the new production staff, as their current priority was to replace the damaged or lost equipment.

But then again, most of their equipment have been destroyed, so it was crucial that they replace most of them.

A group of managers have also been deployed to handle various adjustments and oversee on-site operations.

It was a bit different from their normal job, but so long as Shinichi was willing to keep quiet, they were even willing to beg for this opportunity.

However, that did mean that theyve basically been forced into these jobs, leaving Monica to wonder if she should consider this as a kind of harassment.

Monica, who was witnessing that for the first time, was speechless, and even Myuhi, despite being accustomed to his ways, could only manage a wry smile. However, considering the circumstances, it couldnt be helped.

I eat a lot too before a concert, but this is something else, Monica said.

Its enough to make me want to analyze how hes digesting all that, Myuhi said.

The two women ate a lot themselves, perhaps because singing expended more calories than what one might presume, but regardless of whether it was due to their job or their constitution, the amount of food they had on their plate far exceeded what one might expect from an adult woman. In fact, they each had enough to feed more than three women.

Myuhi was a Garestonian warrior, who was used to to the intense caloric expenditure in the front lines, but even for someone such as her, the amount Shinichi consumed was still on another level.

*Burp* It seriously feels like Ive got an endless pit inside me. Every time I do something, it always end up like this. *nom*!

Shinichi grumbled while biting into a whole piece of roast beef without even portioning it.

His body couldnt accumulate much in terms of Stamina, Mana, or calories. And while his high Skill made his fuel efficiency excellent, the various storage tanks of his body were inherently small.

Ngu Ah, I would have preferred to enjoy the food more.

Shinichi continued to eat and drink as though there were no tomorrow, but then he sighed and expressed genuine disappointment.

Upon seeing that, Monica and Myuhi glanced at each other and shared a wry smile as they threw a jab among themselves, saying, Thats what has him concerned?

It was no doubt amusing to watch Shinichi, but it was a spectacle that could ruin their own appetite, so after awhile, they decided to ignore and focused on their own meal.

By the way, let me apologize for the job so far. I knew he has a tendency to be a bit extreme, but I didnt think he would take it so far.

Perhaps because of that, a conversation naturally started between the two, and Myuhi, who sat next to Monica, casually apologized to her.

The events that had unfolded in the past hour or two were indeed rather extreme, so as someone who was working with Shinichi, Myuhi though it right to extend an apology to Monica.

Of course, the way she smiled made it clear that that was more of a formality than anything else, but Monica merely shrugged her shoulders.

Its fine, theres no need to apologize. I was shocked, sure, but I know we dont have time and that were up against some powerful people. I can understand having to resort to extreme measures.

Most people who saw that thing at the church would probably feel the same way, but despite that, your bodyguard is quite serious, isnt he?

Myuhi said, but behind them was implied another message that likely went along the lines of, You knew that even before coming here, right? Whats your true purpose in partnering with him?

And of course, Monica was astute enough to read between the lines.
