Chapter 7: A Cougar’s Uniine

"Actually, I’ve beenthe Central Continent?" I asked White Bird and the others with a face bri with curiosity

I received many scornful looks in response White Bird in particular couldn’t resist co like that, Liege Lord We are already being worked to the bone just frohtfully "But I really don’t have anything to do! You guys rarely even give me any paperwork these days"

"That’s because all you ever do is edit the fire at me It looked like ever since I forcibly rejected the idea of being treated with the dignity of a liege lord, White Bird’s respect for ed, I replied, "No way, I have been assessing the them very carefully? Just take a look at this docuave the response, ‘Considering that the city walls have been worn down by the fires of war, and are now disheveled beyond belief, a special allowance is granted to repaint the walls, preferably in pink, e Lord’"

"What’s wrong with that?" I asked, puzzled

"…" Everyone was silent White Bird took out another docueh people? Eh, perhaps there are not as ht, I’ll respond to this issue after consulting with a GM Signed, Prince, the Liege Lord’"

"Oh…right I haven’t asked a GM about that yet," I replied while twiddling etting about this with all the recent attacks launched on other cities!

White Bird didn’t respond toher forehead with a look of hopeless resignation

I bitto be addicted to aed desperately, "White Bird, please give me some more documents to edit!"

"No Way" White Bird responded fir-victi lips and even tears in the corner of s turn out like this? I spent soan ounce of praise and now I’ē walked over toa child He cooed, "Good boy Prince, run along now and play outside for a bit by yourself When we find so for you to do, we’ll call you back"

"Oh" Since even Wolf-dàgē was saying things like this, I had no choice but to resignoutside by ate, I quickly cast offon whoo find Kenshin and Cold Fox and steal some of their tea? Or bully some monsters? Or perhaps I could find Infinity City’s arate Meatbun’s Fer all the possibilities

"Prince!"

Lolidragon? Suddenly hearing a voice I hadn’t heard for a very long time filledfor the source Indeed, I could see the trails left by a flying carpet

"Lolidragon! You guys are back!" I called out loudly while happily waving , and Sunshine all hopped off the flying carpet, but the first two both carried a heavy expression Puzzled, I asked, "What’s wrong? Are the results of the investigation bad?"

"Yes, extremely bad We found out that of the five overlords of each continent, the Eastern, Western, and Southern Continents’ overlords were all targeted by assassins Worse, the Northern Continent’s Flower Overlord and her five teammates all mysteriously disappeared last week The citizens of the Flower City are all in pandeon reported with a grim expression

"Are Neurotic and the others okay?" I asked with concern, hoping that they hadn’t been assassinated

"They’re okay In fact, the overlords fro Wu Qing said

"Except the Northern Continent’s on retorted with lips pursed and brows creased

Deep in thought, I wondered out loud, "So the Northern Continent is thewere both quiet for a while, until Wu Qing finally broke the silence "That’s how it seems based on the current situation, but there’s also a lot of information that doesn’t add up For example, how they could abandon their own Flower Capital that they have been working so hard to maintain and make it public that they’ve disappeared? This particular turn of events is strange indeed"

"To top it all off, according to our investigation, Northern Flower isn’t so all of Second Life," said Wu Qing

Lolidragon continued the explanation, "In my opinion, she seems to be the type that would worry more about the blemishes on her face than her overlord status She probably would rather be putting on faceoff to war"

So she’s one of those completely vain types… I couldn’t help but asked in confusion, "If that is so, then what’s really going on with the assassinations?"

"We still don’t know for sure, but we’ve already spoke to the three other overlords and it’s agreed that they will all travel to the Central Continent by boat in a week’s tion raised her voice to emphasize her point, "Thatof the overlords"

Aof the overlords, eh? I couldn’t help but feel a bit i to becoht? I wonder what these leaders are like"

"Ahe, but of course there are always exceptions," Lolidragon replied while furtively glancing at me

"Exceptions? What exceptions?" I asked curiously
