These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 213 : What are your intentions?
There was even a car that had been sent to the Explorer Association after Iris told me that I was invited to her house for dinner.
It seemed that they had no intention of letting me escape at all.
After all, it wasn't just a single car that was there.
There was a single car that was waiting, but I could see that there were other cars that were parked all around us. The way that they were parked made it seem like they were ready to come out at any moment.
And that moment would be the moment that I tried to run away.
So I had no choice but to get in the car with Iris.
At the very least, it seemed that they were planning to treat me as a guest since they had sent a luxurious car to pick us up. It was the same car that I had gotten in before with Iris when we had been picked up from the dungeon.
But there was only silence that lingered in the car while we drove.
Not even the driver said a single thing as he was focused completely on driving.
This wasn't just to me, but also to Iris which was strange.
She was the young miss, but now she was being treated like she was in trouble.
Well, it wouldn't be strange if she actually got in trouble because of me. Or rather because of what Mu Gong did.
As the daughter of two World Summoners, it wasn't as if it was required for her to go to a dangerous place like the Abyss Guards. That place was just too dangerous for most young masters and young misses to go.
Unless they chose to go there, most of them would never go to that place.
It wasn't because they weren't talented enough, it was just that there was no need for them to go.
But because of what Mu Gong did, she was now expected to go there.
Since her parents couldn't actually do anything to Mu Gong, the only thing that they could do was take their anger out on me.
I just hoped that I was able to withstand this anger.
It seemed that they wanted to waste no time at all, so they had the car drive on the special roads for Summoners. These were special roads that were supposed to be used for emergencies only, but they were driving on it now.
Perhaps to the two World Summoners, this was considered an emergency?
Regardless, it also seemed like an abuse of power…

Well, it wasn't as if there was anyone that was going to step up and stop World Summoners. That was just the level of prestige and power that they wielded where they were able to do what they wanted without consequences.
When we arrived in front of the mansion in the Ifrit District, we found that the two of them were actually outside waiting for us.
Unlike before where they were waiting for us inside the mansion, they actually came out to greet us. However, this wasn't a good sign, it just meant that they wanted to see us as soon as possible.
Or it was that they didn't want me to escape, so they came out personally…
After the car stopped, Iris and I came out to stand in front of them.
The two of them seemed to act normally, though I could see that Huo Fan Tian was glaring at me a bit more intensely than usual. It seemed that even if they were acting like everything was normal, it wasn't as if they would be able to hold themselves back as much.
Still, they invited us into the mansion where dinner had already been prepared.
Even though I was sure that there were other things that they wanted to discuss, it seemed that they were still holding themselves back during this meal.
That was until halfway into the meal when Alexandra suddenly said, "So I've heard that your next assignment was to head into the Abyss."
The way that she said it was as if she was casually bringing something up as the next topic to discuss during dinner, but the contents of what she was talking about definitely weren't casual.
I couldn't help giving a gulp when I heard this, almost choking on the food that had been in my mouth.
If it hadn't been Iris giving me a glass of water in time, I really would have choked on that bite of food.
After swallowing with difficulty and coughing for a bit, I asked, "Ke, ke, yes, but where did you hear about this?"
There was a smile that appeared on Alexandra's face as she said, "As the parents of one of the ones being sent into the Abyss, don't you think that we would be informed?"
An awkward look appeared on my face when I heard this since her words were perfectly reasonable.
That damn old man…
If it wasn't for him dragging Iris into this…
But it was too late to curse out the one that called himself my in name master, the only thing that I could do was apologize.
"I'm sorry about that. It was something that was completely decided by that person, so I couldn't do anything about this."
Since it was his fault, it wasn't as if I would take the blame for him.
I just threw everything onto Mu Gong and blamed him for it.
But to my surprise, that smile didn't disappear from Alexandra's face. Even though Huo Fan Tian looked at me like he really wanted to teach me a lesson, she had the same smile on his face.
That just caused an awkward silence to fill the air.
When she finally broke that silence, Alexandra suddenly asked, "Well, it's not as if it's a problem if she wants to go with you."
It wasn't just Iris and I that were surprised, even Huo Fan Tian was surprised by this. However, he was stopped from asking any questions by Alexandra raising her hand.
Instead, she just looked at me and asked, "I just want to know, what are your intentions for my daughter?"
