My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!-Chapter 326 - : Not the Empress

Aster looked at Eren blankly. Was this man really talking about what was good for health? Just a few days ago, he was standing against Mist. From which angle was that good for health?

Eren talking about things that were good for health was no different than a playboy talking about being chaste.

Still, he didn't express his thoughts openly. He followed Eren, who headed towards the entrance of the city.

Soon, the two of them reached the entrance of the city which was a major hub of business aside from the Royal City, especially since its Lord was an Archbishop.

For that reason, it was also a heavily guarded city. At the entrance alone, Eren saw quite a number of guards. Still, in his eyes it all felt useless as they couldn't even recognise the Sea Dragon Empress to stop him.

"Identification," the Guard told Eren, reaching out his hand.

"Oh, certainly." Eren reached out his hand, holding a random card.

From the distance, it looked like an identification card but if one was to look carefully, one could see that it was just a random piece of a thin sheet of metal which was the shape of the identification card.

The Guard looked at the fake card, his eyes narrowing. However, his expressions soon relaxed as Eren's fingers touched him. It was as if his mind was directly being manipulated, along with his memories.

Eren used Liyone's abilities, erasing the memories about the Guard seeing the fake identification, manipulating his mind to consider it real.

"Are we allowed to pass through now?" Eren asked the Guard, who came out of his daze, noticing that Eren had already kept the identification back in his pocket.

He didn't know why, but his head felt a little heavy. Still, he couldn't understand the reason. As an ordinary guard, he didn't hold any resistance to Manipulation, especially when it was the ability of an S Rank Hero who could manipulate memories of weaklings with ease.

This same manipulation wouldn't have been as effective on the Archbishop level people of this world, but against an ordinary guard who only had a miniscule amount of protection from goddesses, it worked like a charm.

"Let's go," Eren told Aster, walking past the Guard.

Aster's face had been covered with a mask as he didn't have any disguise skills like Eren did. However, the mask and clothes that he wore were different from what he was wearing in the Hero Academy, creating a separation of identity for him as well.

Normally, the Guard who was checking their identity would have asked him to take off his mask but Eren took care of that problem as well.

He made the Guard feel that he had already checked Aster's face, matching it against the list of people of interest for the Western Empire.

....

As Eren entered this city, he was finally able to see a prosperous city of the Western Continent. This was the first time actually stepping inside the city as he had only seen the cities from the deck of the Merchant Ship in the past.

The bustling streets were filled with merchants, travelers, and Priests from the Holy Church. There were also a lot of citizens, which made Eren remember the body streets of the cities back on earth.

The infrastructure of the city was not bad either. It wasn't ancient like the structures in the Eastern Continent. It wasn't modern like the Southern Continent either. Instead, it felt more medieval.

It was as if he had walked straight into a Victorian city, with two buildings standing out from the rest.

One was the Palace of the City Lord while the other was the Church of Holiness Branch. If anything, the Church appeared more grand as even the City Lord was a follower.

The streets were buzzing with the sound of bargains, the clinking of coins, and the occasional shout of a guard maintaining order.

Eren and Aster blended into the crowd, both of them being just as fascinated by the city. They were like children who were taken to a foreign city of magic for the first time.

Still, Eren hadn't forgotten his purpose in coming to this city. His eyes kept searching for the Sea Dragon Empress but he couldn't find any trace of her. He could feel the presence of the Dragon Bloodline but even he couldn't pinpoint it.

The only thing he could be certain of was that the woman was still in the city.

The Sea Dragon Empress had disappeared into one of the many alleyways that spider-webbed through the city.

"She couldn't have gone far," Eren mumbled to himself as he went further into the city.

After searching for a while, Eren noticed a group of Priests standing in front of an alleyway. There were a few priests who were keeping ordinary citizens away.

"Did they find her?" he wondered as he entered a different alleyway from the one in question.

He took advantage of the absence of people in the alley and jumped high, landing on the roof. From the roof, he rushed towards the alley in question.

Aster followed him, knocking out people along the way who just happened to be on the roof, noticing them. There was even a priest who was keeping an eye on the roof around the alley.

Before the priest could react, Aster appeared behind the Priest, hitting the back of his head, knocking him out.

"I can't believe you are using sneak attacks to take people out. I feel ashamed."

Real Aster's soul complained to the actions of the earthly soul, wondering what was even the point of him teaching his skills when the fighting style was going to be so shameless.

"Shut up, old man. I tried relying on your methods. I am sure you haven't forgotten what happened?" Earthly Aster asked, taking a glance at Eren. "This time, I don't want to die again because of your sense of chivalry."

While the two souls of Aster were arguing amongst themselves, Eren stopped at the edge of the roof, looking down at the alley that was blocked by the Priests.

"Hmm? That's not the Empress..." That's the only sentence that came out of Eren's lips as his eyes narrowed.
