You think you're worthy of saving the world?

The red carpet and opulent decor, the gentlemen in tailcoats and the elegant ladies in gorgeous attire, were dazzling and overwhelming.

As soon as Yuri stepped into the room, dozens of eyes turned to her.

An unprecedented battle has begun.

Fortunately, Cecilia was with him...

The blonde knight suddenly let go of her hand: "Sorry, Yuri... it seems they need help over there. I'll leave for a bit and come back to find you later."

Yuri: "..."

An unprecedented betrayal has occurred.

Just as he was pondering how to shake off the nobles' entanglement,

"Lord Yuri, greetings."

Suddenly someone called his name from behind.

Yuri turned around and saw a beautiful young woman exuding an intellectual aura.

She was dressed in a socialite outfit that was clearly out of character for her, and was even pretending to hold a wine glass in one hand.

Good evening, Ms. Chaika.

The unexpected appearance of a character left Yuri stunned for half a second.

"Teacher... I don't remember ever teaching Lord Yuri anything, hehehehe."

Jaika covered her lipstick-covered lips with the back of her hand and let out a stereotypical rich girl laugh.

"Oh, oh, oh... I didn't expect that Lord Yuri would even know that genius magician Chaika!"

The surrounding nobles gasped in amazement.

"Why are you here?" Yuri asked softly.

"I also received an invitation from Princess Rosalia, just like Yuri, to freeload a meal." Chaika took a sip of red wine nonchalantly.

"I thought you had already gone back. Are your studies alright?" Yuri walked to the long dining table and put cake on a plate.

"I was originally planning to go back a week ago, but..."

Chaika moved closer to him and asked furtively in a voice only they could hear.

"Yuri, did you challenge the Eight-Star Singularity again last week?"

186 Yuri, special attack on older sister succubi

"Haha, I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

Yuri thought about it and ultimately decided not to hide it from her.

This woman... even when she's on a business trip to the Holy See, does she carry a makeshift magic workshop with her?

Activating an eight-star singularity at such close range would indeed be impossible to hide from Chaika, the authority on singularity observation.

"What was originally just a normal five-star difficulty promotion singularity somehow upgraded to eight stars during the challenge... I've really survived by the skin of my teeth."

Yuri pretended to be still shaken as he spoke, subtly concealing the fact that he had two teammates with him when he challenged the dungeon.

No matter how clever and quick-witted Chaika was, she could never have imagined that the Imperial Grand Duke and the Queen of the Sacred Tree, those two nobles, would enter the Five-Star Singularity with Yuri to play house... and almost get herself killed.

"Oh oh..."

Chaika's eyes widened in surprise: "So, Yuri succeeded? He survived the Eighth Singularity on his own!?"

The black-haired boy nodded: "That was really thrilling..."

"Amazing! Really amazing!" Chaika exclaimed, her eyes shining.

Her astonishment also sparked discussion among the surrounding nobles.

Comments like, "As expected of the Child of Prophecy, he actually received praise from the Vice Chairman of Academy City, the talented Chaika!" were heard one after another.

Chaika paid no attention to the discussions around her and kept talking excitedly.

"It was just luck!" Yuri emphasized again.

"Hmm! So, what exactly happened in the singularity? Can you tell me about it?"

Jaika excitedly leaned closer, her cherry-like mouth firing questions like a machine gun.

"Why was it upgraded from five stars to eight stars? This is a very rare occurrence, isn't it?"

"How did Yuri overcome the difficulties? Did he really find a loophole in the singularity?"

"Aaaaaah! Seriously! It was the same on Dragon God Island last time. Why does Yuri always seem to have such good luck? I wish it could happen again!"

Yuri's lips twitched as she watched the intellectually intelligent girl go wild with excitement.

"Chaika-sensei...you must be very unpopular with your colleagues in Academy City, right?"

"Huh? How did you know?" Chaika blinked, even more curious.

Generally speaking, information about singularities exceeding six stars is classified as top secret, valuable information that can be sold for money.

But Chaika asked Yuri what had happened inside, as if it were the most natural thing in the world—

This wasn't because she was greedy; it was mainly because she had a rather carefree personality, and her thirst for knowledge made her forget about being reserved.

Yuri thought, "I feel like Chaika and Cecilia will get along really well... Are all geniuses like this?"

Yuri didn't intend to hide anything from her.

The main problem is... he hasn't finished editing it yet.

I can't just say that I'm possessed by an evil god and that something bad will happen as soon as I enter a singularity, can I?

Yuri sighed, looked around the party room, and said, "It's not really appropriate to talk about this today... Let's sit down and chat over tea another time."

"Yeah, that's true."

Although Jaika was somewhat disappointed, she accepted Yuri's suggestion, sullenly downing the wine in her glass, and then poured herself another glass.

"Speaking of which, why was Ms. Chaika invited?"

Yuri glanced at Chaika, who was dressed in her finest attire.

She usually goes without makeup, but today she wore light makeup and let down her signature braids, looking very charming and beautiful.

Just now, she seemed to have been surrounded by a number of young noblemen.

“I thought Ms. Chaika was completely out of place in these aristocratic social settings,” Yuri said.

"What kind of talk is that? I'm not someone who just spends all day in the workshop. Even if it's for research funding, I still have to get along well with rich people."

Chaika proudly puffed out her beautifully shaped chest: "By the way... Yuri probably doesn't know yet, but Angelica Augusta is my student."

So, they have some connections with the Augusta Royal Family and Princess Rosalia...you understand?"

The First Princess is my student, so you should show her more respect, okay?

That seems to be what she meant.

"That is indeed the case."

Yuri's mind conjured up the image of the Golden Drill Princess.

“Furthermore, Princess Rosalia’s daughter may also be going to study in Academy City,” Yuri added for her.

"That's how it is. As expected of Yuri, you're so smart." Chaika happily patted his head.

"Jiaika, you're drunk."

Yuri pushed her hand away.

Young women touching young men at social gatherings... this behavior is somewhat indecent and not ladylike.

The surrounding nobles also frowned.

Completely oblivious to the reactions around her, with her cheeks flushed, Chaika pouted and said coquettishly, "I'm not drunk~ I'm perfectly sober!"

Yuri frowned: "..."

Yuri had a vague feeling about it when they were on Dragon Island, and now he was even more certain—Jiaika seemed to be very bad at drinking.

That time they had something unspeakable because of aphrodisiacs, it was probably also due to alcohol to some extent...

"You're definitely drunk. Come on, I'll have the maid take you to the next room to rest..."

"Causing me trouble is a small matter, but losing face in front of those two gentlemen would be terrible."

Yuri forcibly took the intellectual girl's arm, led her aside, handed her over to the maid, and instructed her to keep a close eye on her.

Yuri was immediately surrounded after dealing with Jiaika's matter.

"Lord Euryphus, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am..."

"Hello, nice to meet you..."

"Your Holiness, may I get to know you?"

"Of course, hello."

Nobles from Rosalia's faction kept coming over to greet Yuri.

Unfortunately, none of them were beautiful young girls like Chaika or elegant ladies like Ruby's mother; they were all middle-aged men in suits.

Even in the world of anime, those who wield power are mostly men, Yuri thought to herself.

That being said, there were actually quite a few women in the venue.

If Yuri were a year or two older, she would probably be surrounded by wealthy women with their daughters, who would enthusiastically ask her all sorts of questions...

The prophesied child is not yet of marriageable age.

The only people on the entire continent who would actually lay a hand on a 14-year-old like Yuri are Rosalia and Celestia...

Thinking about it that way, those two are really... vulgar, no, they're really passionate and daring...

She truly is my woman.

The nobles came one by one to greet Yuri, giving him the illusion that he had just become the Italian godfather of New York.

He endured this agonizing ordeal for about an hour before finally finding some peace and quiet.

Yuri arrived at the table laden with a sumptuous feast, ready to enjoy it to the fullest.
