Going in the Union

Walking past some guards, Saito entered the Union while holding Lyra's hand. Chloe was also walking besides them, though she wanted him to hold her own hand as well but didn't insist much on it.

The people there at the Union stared in their direction, it was mostly because Chloe and Lyra were too dazzling right now. Saito was also looking very handsome, but since most of them were men here, they kept their eyes onto the women alongside him.

Without even walking much in the hallway of the Union, Saito noticed his classmates from the other world. He wondered what they were up to as they were approached by them.

(A/N: Just to let you know, not his classmates. Axel's classmates, I mean.)

There were around 8 Boys who were intently staring at Lyra and Chloe. Especially that Tanjiro Daishi, he looked like he was going to swallow Chloe with the gaze he was looking at her.

However, Saito's whole attention was on the group of boys who were staring at Lyra. Even though they were holding hands and both of them had a beautiful ring in their fingers.

A guy stepped forwards and said, "What is your name beautiful? Do you want to come with me for lunch? I assure you that it would be better than anything that this guy can afford you."

Lyra was a princess from birth, she unconsciously released a noble aura seeped within her blood, "No thanks. I want to spend more time with Axel."

Her hold over his hand tightened after she finished speaking that. The guy who had just spoken to her had a red face. Such great beauty declined him because of Axel.

He couldn't tolerate such a humiliation. Tanjiro Daishi felt like it was the time to say it and spoke, "Chloe… Look, this guy doesn't even care about you even though you waited so long for him to come back. He has changed. Come with me… I promise to treat you the best."

Saito rolled his eyes but chose not to say anything. If Chloe wanted to go with them on her free will, he wouldn't say anything.

Suddenly, Arayoshi, the first classmate whom he met since he entered the city. The guy who had some intentions towards Lyra, "Miss Lyra… If you do not mind me asking but what did you come here for?"

According to his smart brain, he felt that Saito was following Lyra around so she must be the one who had the destination planned.

Meanwhile, Chloe shook her head in disagreement, "Sorry guys, Axel just returned after a month. I want to stay with him for some more time."

Daishi stepped forwards with a frown, "Do you not see it? He is holding the hand of another woman in your presence… This kind of man is not loyal at all. You should just give him up…"

At this, Chloe did get angry. Saito didn't think much about the words of Daishi, it was straightforward to misunderstand in the situation he was in.

But Chloe was furious because she had seen just how much loyal Saito was to Lyra. She had basically presented herself to him, yet he rejected her without a care.

She was the one who initiated the kiss because she couldn't hold it in herself. She knew that if it was left to Saito, he probably wouldn't even touch her.

"Daishi… We are good friends, so I will tell you to stop now. You don't know anything, so you should stop before you make me angry." Her words contained a severe threat.

Even though Daishi wasn't intimidated by her, he changed his target and furiously asked Saito, "You! What have you done to Chloe!? Using an underhand trick on her!"

Saito gave him a bored look and said, "I don't think you will believe me if I say that I didn't use any underhand trick on her. You just failed to understand her, that's all."

Daishi though wasn't having any of it, "Shut up! You think you know her better than I do!? You who disappeared for more than a month in this world think you know her better than I do?"

Saito shrugged in response, "Whatever."

While simultaneously, Lyra replied to Arayoshi with a smile on her face as she glanced at Saito, "It's because Axel wanted to come here."

Arayoshi frowned even more and then spoke, "I just bought a new mansion from the money I earned through my latest mission. I would be happy if you come with me to see this mansion."

Before Lyra could reply to him, Saito coolly spoke, "Sorry, we are going to be on our way now to register Lyra as an adventurer."

Behind him, Lyra supported him by saying, "As Axel said. Let us be on our way now."

They moved forwards, there was a reception desk. A beautiful woman, though not as attractive as Lyra or Chloe but still enough to touch the heartstrings of men.

She asked them with a polite voice, "What do you want sir?" Since Saito's identity as a hero was pretty rare, and this title's status was above their own status, so she was careful to show a respectful attitude to Saito.

Saito pointed at Lyra while he said, "I want you to register her as an adventurer." The receptionist nodded her head and said, "Sir, it would take a minute, but she has to come with me for the process of analysis."

As he was surprised by her words, Saito voiced in his head 'Iris… create an illusion where they believe Lyra's Elf Magic to be Wood Magic.'

[As you command master. This magic will be up for around 5 minutes only before someone may notice the anomalies.]

'That's enough time. Start the illusion 5 seconds after when Lyra enters the room with her.' Saito commanded Iris within his head. While he nodded to the words of the receptionist. He whispered into Lyra's ears, "Don't mention anything about your elf magic or your heritage. I have taken care of it. In their records, you will just have wood magic."

Receiving a nod in return, Lyra was thankful to Saito that he had prepared for this situation.

Iris started the illusion 5 seconds later as Lyra enters the room with the receptionist.

Now… Chloe and Saito were standing outside, waiting for her to come out. Suddenly, Saito asks Chloe, "I am a little hungry right now, Chloe. Can you go to bring some food for me please?"

Since it was Saito requesting her, she immediately left the place to bring some food for Saito. As the men who were staring at Saito with eyes completely full of envy and resentment, they were surprised to see that he was left alone by both Chloe and Lyra.

This was the only opportunity they would get, and they weren't planning to let it go to waste. All the 8 of them made a semi-circle and surrounded him from one side, blocking him.

This, however, didn't affect Saito at all, and he said, "You all seem to have some sort of grudge against me. I am getting sick of these mind games, just tell me the truth already."

Saito asked them very casually, Daishi replied him, "You seem to have become a little more powerful since returning back but don't think for a second that you can challenge us. Stay away from Chloe before we decide to remove you…"

"Remove me?" There was faint ridicule on his face as if he was asking "Are you high or what?"

Arayoshi stepped forward at this moment, he seemed to support Daishi as he added, "I believe you don't understand what you are dealing with. I did give you a great offer for that woman who is acquitted to you. You could have saved yourself from all this trouble, but now, you will watch with your own eyes as I steal that woman from you."
