He finally got into the topic.
Cold dishes were served. Perhaps because she was preparing for the duel, the drink that Erika rarely drank was not wine, but mineral water.
"Then, why must we have a duel?”
"That's to prove your strength. Right now, the officers of the Knights who inherited the ancient magic are gathered in Rome to discuss how to deal with Gorgon. I was the one who suggested to entrust this matter to Bai Qi. As for the other three, as long as they confirm Bai Qi's strength, they will agree.”
"Gorgon, isn't that Athena's? Where did you find it?”
"A relic of the gods that was salvaged from the coast of Calabria two months ago. It was the symbol of the goddess that the snake-haired monster had belittled. The wisdom of the missing Mother Earth, the road leading to darkness, simply put, is…"
"It's better not to explain. If the topic was about God, he could not continue listening.”
Bai Qi interrupted Erika, who was about to start explaining.
For some reason, he did not want to know about the profound knowledge of God. Looking at Bai Qi like that, Erika smiled helplessly.
"However, Bai Qi has already met Athena, who looks like the 'God of Disobedience,' right? Anyway, the fate of the battle was already decided. You'll definitely seek my help in the future, right?”
"Don't say such ominous words. Also, why did proving one's strength require a duel? There should be a better way, right?”
"Because for us knights, duels are the most important ritual. Don't you think it's a wonderful night to display the courage of a lion in a martial arts competition, gain fame after victory, and then perform a love ritual with the person you love?”
"Who would think so? It was more like a nightmarish night!”
"How dishonest. Aiya, aren't you shy just because of the two of us?”
Looking at Anna who was silent so as not to disturb her master's conversation, Erika nodded.
"Don't worry. When the duel is over, no one will be able to stop us. Let's save the fun for later.”
Baiqi felt that his bad luck was all brought on by Erika.
Late at night, the sky was filled with stars.
Because it was dangerous, she didn't bring Anna along.
Bai Qi followed them to the famous circular Battle Arena, on a hill near the Beast Arena.
In the distant B.C., the capital of Rome was surrounded by seven hills.
This place was known as the Palatini Hill, one of the seven hills. It was a high-class residential area during the Republic Era and a part of the palace during the Empire Era.
It was now a quiet and desolate ruin next to the famous tourist attraction, the Colosseum.
Although it was her first time here, Elektra was very quiet.
Perhaps it was because it was past midnight, but the current atmosphere would not be strange even if the souls of the Roman nobles came out.
"Even so, it's still a building from 1500 years ago. Every time I see it, I feel admiration."
The ruins of an ancient civilization built with bricks.
A road paved with bricks.
As Bai Qi walked through the ruins, he looked around.
If it was possible, I really wanted to come during the day. It would be interesting to use this place as a place to test my courage.
In the darkness without street lights or flashlights, both Erika and Bai Qi had night vision like owls.……Ever since he nearly died in the early spring, he had obtained a special physique.
"Is that so? Ancient buildings couldn't be found everywhere. He had heard of medieval temples and castles in Japan.”
"It's different from the units in ancient times, and you can't simply see things other than sightseeing spots.”
Elektra's opinion is owned by the people raised by the stone culture.
It turned out to be one of the many cities in Italy. Most of them inherited the names of medieval castles and cities.
The roads and the entire city could almost be said to be relics of the past.
Especially in Rome, which had been using roads, bridges, and sewers built during the era of the Empire. It could only be repaired to the extent that it could still be used well.
"Right, Bai Qi. We haven't seen each other for so long. Do you have anything lewd to say to me? It's not easy to meet again."
Suddenly, Ellie approached.
She leaned close to Bai Qi and whispered into his ear.
The charming girl was actively forced to reveal her intimate relationship. As long as it was a healthy male high school student, their heart would beat fast.
Of course, Baiqi was no exception. But…
"Didn't I tell you many times not to do such pranks? He had to restrain himself and interact with healthy friends!”
"It's not a prank. It's just a way for lovers who haven't seen each other for a long time to confirm their love for each other.”
Ignoring the rebuttal, Elektra moved her face closer.
As he leaned his face and body closer, he spoke sweet words.
Bai Qi tried his best to keep his distance, desperately trying to escape.
"I'm not your lover. Please stop!"
"You are. Please accept my love. Are you dissatisfied with me? Her appearance, youth, and figure were all fine.……Could it be that Bai Qi had some other special interest?”
"Idiot, don't talk nonsense. I'm completely normal! Uh, it wasn't a question of hobbies.”
Facing those who retreated, Erika stuck close to them.
…To be honest, Bai Qi was willful and stubborn. Once he got used to it, he would find it very cute. This was something that made people feel terrified. He didn't hate her at all.
However, he couldn't accept her love just because of that.
"I like Bai Qi. Baiqi also likes me, right? There, there was no problem. Even if they were to get married, it would definitely not be a problem. Wouldn't we become the strongest couple on Earth?”
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't just decide to get married! I'm not in the mood to start a family yet!”
After he felt that he had accepted her love, he would be kidnapped to the church just like that.
If a person had eighty years of life and the guardian hadn't even lived a quarter of his life, this level of life experience would determine his life partner and he would still hesitate.
Moreover, there was a more precise reason.
Although Erika said that they were lovers on the surface, she probably had some ulterior motives.
"Hey, Erika, don't try to use me in weird ways. Although I owe you a favor and a very troublesome friend, I will still listen to normal requests. If it's not like this, don't come to me.”
Baiqi said in a serious tone.
He wasn't worthy of being complacent, but he had never thought of himself as the type that girls liked.
Shiki Krassanagi was a wooden man who did not know how to say funny words. It was useless to be angry at him.
My sister scolded me because I was slow, and sometimes she was very long-winded.
There shouldn't be any woman who would like such a strange man. Not to mention, if he wanted to, he could choose any kind of partner.
"You were ordered by the knights to trick me, right? I know it's a little hard for you to behave yourself. I don't want you to lie about something like that, do you hear me?”
"Listen up, Bai Qi, you are really slow. Such a beautiful flower, yet you said you wanted to break it yourself.”
While sticking to Bai Qi, she sighed.
It was an extremely rare sigh for her. It was as heavy as a heartfelt worry.
"I wasn't ordered by anyone to choose a lover, and I'm an honest person. If I don't understand something of that level, I'll feel very embarrassed.”
When she felt relieved that she had finally let go of her wrist, she was suddenly kissed.
It wasn't on her face, but on her lips.
"This is the punishment for always giving me the cold shoulder…Well, I will spend my time properly to let you understand my love.”
The smiling Erika looked very dazzling.
Because the atmosphere would become very strange, Baiqi decided to change the topic.
"By the way, can you tell me something about Miss Anna?”
"Ah, Ariana. He was straightforward and good-tempered. He was a very good child.”
Bai wrinkled his brows at this statement.
"Don't call someone older than you a good child. It's so rude! Besides, you were the one who instructed Anna to drive the car, right?”
