These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 51: Ifrit District

There was no one that said a single thing since they didn’t know how to resolve this matter.

As long as Iris didn’t stand down, it wasn’t as if the bodyguards could do anything.

I made sure to take special note of this since I didn’t think that Iris’ status in her family was that great in the first place based on the power that I saw. But the fact that the bodyguards went along with her this much made it seem like I was wrong.

It seemed that they showed a fair amount of consideration towards Iris.

After observing for a bit, I broke the silence with a cough and said, "You’re making it hard on them by acting like this. It’s not as if they were being rude, they were just trying to protect you. You have to think about their feelings too."

Iris looked a bit deflated when she heard this, almost as if she was disappointed that her attempt to protect me resulted in this.

At the same time, the bodyguards looked at me with strange looks.

It was as if they couldn’t believe that Iris would actually back down because of my words.

The way that they looked at me made me feel a bit awkward, but I still said with another cough, "I’ll come and see you another time. It’s not as if we won’t ever meet again, right?"

This time, Iris didn’t seem to back down as easily as she grabbed my arm again and said, "No, you’re the one that helped me, so I have to repay you. That’s what my parents taught me and I won’t go against it."

The way that she said this was as if she wouldn’t back down no matter what, putting me in a very awkward situation.

To my surprise, it was the female bodyguard who said, "Young miss, the master just called and said that he wishes to meet with him as well, so we’re to bring him back with us."

Iris’ eyes lit up when she heard this, but I couldn’t feel the same thing.

After all, there was something strange about the way that the female bodyguard said this…

I couldn’t tell exactly what it was, but there was something strange about the way that she said this.

Especially when she said the word ’him’.

But after weighing the pros and cons, I said with a sigh, "Alright, I’ll go with you."

Iris’ eyes lit up even more when she heard this before she pulled me forward with a smile on her face.

The others didn’t stop her this time, they just formed a blockade around us as if they were protecting us from something.

That included me who they should have seen as an eyesore.

When we left the area around the dungeon entrance, I understood why they did this.

There were some people that seemed to be hanging around as if they were just doing nothing, but I could tell that they were actually looking for something. Or it was better to say that they were looking for someone…

As for who that person could be, there was only one possibility.

There was only one person that was being surrounded by bodyguards like this.

The ones that were hanging around were most likely reporters that were trying to get a scoop, but they weren’t able to get a single thing since the bodyguards were here to stop them.

Only that just made me wonder who Iris was even more.

I didn’t get a chance to ask this question as we were brought over to a fleet of cars.

These were black tinted cars that seemed like they were there to protect someone and in the center of this fleet was a single stretch limo that was clearly where someone who would be protected would sit.

However, it wasn’t as if there was no protection on the limo either.

If one wanted to destroy that limo, they would need to bring some heavy firepower.

After all, from the mana fluctuations that it released, it was clear that it was heavily reinforced with not just normal materials. It was most likely something that was reinforced with special materials from the dungeons.

This was a car that wouldn’t even be dented if it was hit by a rocket launcher.

I was planning on sitting in one of the guard cars, but I was dragged over to the limo by Iris.

Seeing how none of the bodyguards stopped her, I had no choice but to sit in the limo with her.

Instead of trying to convince her otherwise, I just started looking out the window to see where we were heading.

During this, she started offering me all kinds of different things that were in the limo. This limo was fully stocked with everything that one might expect from it, such as imported water and fancy snacks.

It didn’t seem like it was lacking at all.

For Iris to have this kind of limo pick her up, it really seemed like I had been wrong about her status in her family…

I was even more surprised when I saw where we were heading.

It was a place that anyone from this city would recognize since it was a very special place.

It was special because it was one of the four special districts of the city that normal people wouldn’t have access to.

It was the Ifrit District, named after the great spirit of fire.

These four special districts all had their own functions and the Ifrit District was the place where all of the important summoners lived. This was the place with the greatest defenses, so the most powerful and richest people lived in this place.

Naturally someone like me had never been to this place before.

Just what family did Iris come from?

There were guards at the edge of the Ifrit District, but none of them stopped the cars.

They even saluted when they saw the cars, showing that they recognized the family that these cars belonged to.

Based on the way that we headed deeper in, it seemed like we were heading into the depths of the Ifrit District.
