147 – Pincer #7
Elga and Mirna were growling at each other.
In my eyes, it seemed as though spears and blades were clashing behind them as they quarreled.
It was a kind of war.
The drawn-out feud from the long history of Angmar was unfolding right this very moment at a café table.
And Elga was the one who initiated it.
To just say to Mirna’s face, “I’m interested in this guy.”
... It was such a shocking confession that I couldn’t help but feel tense.
‘Damn it.’
Elga was out of control.
Amidst all this, Mirna spoke up.
“Then, let me propose one condition. It’s only fair that I set a suggestion of my own.”
‘A condition?’
Understandably, I expected Mirna to refuse and say something like, “You dare aim for my fiancé? Lady Lioness, do you have no pride?”
But I was wrong.
Rather, Mirna seemed to have considerable confidence in the face of Elga’s provocation and even made a proposal of her own.
“Lady Lioness. You’re not afraid of my proposal, are you?”
“You think I’m a coward like you? Okay then, what’s the offer?”
Elga slightly lifted her chin as if she was challenging Mirna. In response, Mirna, who was hiding her face behind the open fan, calmly said.
“Let’s set a date.”
“A date?”
“That’s right. On that day, we’ll ask Theo Gospel to decide the winner. The chosen one will take it all.”
“Hmm, take it all? You’re that eager to lose?”
Elga continued to provoke Mirna as if she didn’t even consider the possibility of losing.
Now that I ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) thought about it, Elga wasn’t particularly skilled in logical conversations, but she seemed quite adept at engaging in arguments that would infuriate her opponent.
As someone who roamed the battlefield, she’d got quite the talent for trash talk. freewebnσvel.cѳm
In response to Elga’s provocation, Mirna smiled casually, as if she was either unfazed by Elga’s taunts or genuinely confident.
“300,000 gold.”
“What?”
“The loser will pay the winner 300,000 gold as a congratulatory gift. What do you think?”
“... Hey, are you kidding me? 300,000 gold is enough to build and operate a fortress base! You want to bet that amount!?”
Elga appeared somewhat bewildered by Mirna’s big offer. It was understandable, as 300,000 gold made for an overwhelming sum of money.
It was comparable to several years’ worth of a family’s budget.
