Chapter 1846: Golden Encounter 11

I walk around the city with Aria-san, enjoying window shopping and chatting with her about various things. Remembering the sound-related abilities that she used a while ago, I asked her about it.

[Aria-san, can you do basically anything related to sound?]

[Yes, I suppose it wouldn't be wrong to say that.]

[For example, moving at the sound speed?]

[Yes, well, I can.]

[I see, that sounds pretty powerful. Sound attacks unleashed at sound speed]

[]

Sound Speed Movement is often considered a strong ability in battle-oriented media. Attacks with a speed of approximately 340 m/sec are quite tremendous, so I thought Aria-san might be pretty strong but she was looking at me with a complicated expression on her face.

As I tilted my head in wonder, Aria-san explained with a wry smile.

[No, sound speed certainly is tremendous at an ordinary level but for Peerage holders, that speed is so slow that there are only a few Baron-ranks who can't reach sound speed, and those who can't reach sound speed often excel in other abilities instead and for those who excel in speed, even when they're at Baron-rank, they can move dozens of times faster than sound speed.]

[Ahh, I see. Come to think of it, I did hear something about how even low Count-ranks are able to handle light speed.]

[Eh? Whoa!]

In the middle of our conversation, Aria-san looked as if she had noticed something, and at a tremendous speed, she ran into a nearby alleyway with me in her arms.

Without understanding what was happening all of a sudden, I was confused, but Aria-san, still holding my head, gestured for me to hide myself. Maybe I shouldn't be thinking about this at a time like this, but my face is being firmly pressed against her chest just now She smells quite elegant, strangely making my heart beat fast.

[Umm, Aria-san?]

[Shhh! Please wait a moment. I- I just spotted someone I know I apologize for making you feel cramped, but please wait a little longer.]

[Ah, yes.]

With those words, I could somewhat sense the situation. Aria-san was definitely here incognito, and she probably wanted to avoid being seen by acquaintances.

I understood that, but being held like this until that acquaintance of hers passes by, the embarrassment I'm feeling is just No, but it certainly would have been bad if I moved here and they noticed us Ahh, come to think, can that acquaintance be seen from here?

While being embraced by Aria-san, I couldn't move my face much, but I managed to shift my gaze slightly to see the direction Aria-san was looking.

No, rather, isn't that Beatrice-san? Unn? Arehh? That means Aria-san really is Alexandra-san.
