Chapter 814 Minor Incident and Meeting
The reunion with the others was faster than expected.

Although the battle with Griffith ended in an instant, the commotion and damage to the streets quickly alerted the patrolling soldiers, and they were then taken to Sarah at the Under Wood Harvest Festival headquarters.

Meanwhile, those who heard the news rushed over, thus achieving a reunion.

[Second Wing] The leader and the person involved, Griffith, did not attend the meeting. It is said that when he was found, he was already unconscious and is currently receiving treatment. Therefore, the person attending the meeting is an unfamiliar member representative.

"……I see."

Having learned the whole story, Sarah sighed helplessly and said to the representative of the [Second Wing]:

"The facts are clear. Your leader was the one who insulted the other side's comrade first and made the first move. The fault is undoubtedly on your side, and you have no one to blame but yourself for the current situation."

Do you have any objections to this?

"No."

The two representatives shook their heads with wry smiles, as this was a completely undeserved disaster for them.

“Very well. Then, considering Griffith's injuries, let's end it here. However, the losses caused by the battle will need to be compensated by you, the [Second Wing], and also…”

Sarah looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said:
"Is there anything else you want to say?"

"Um……"

Fujimaru Ritsuka thought for a moment, then smiled at the representative of the [Second Wing]:
"Please go back and tell your leader that if I hear him say something like that again, it won't just be a matter of him lying in a hospital bed."

"Yes!!"

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka's smile was terrifying to the representative of the "Second Wing." He nodded frantically, sweating profusely, as if afraid that the other party would find even the slightest thing about him unsatisfactory.

They had witnessed firsthand how Griffiths, on the battlefield of the Dragon War, had single-handedly destroyed a four-figure pureblood dragon with a single punch. They had no idea how Griffiths dared to provoke Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Are you tired of living?

Moreover, the other party's confession just now terrified him—

They've eaten eagle meat before!
More importantly, since the other party had even eaten eagle meat, they might very well be interested in griffin meat as well. Thinking of this, he felt a terrifying glint in the other party's eyes, and couldn't help but tremble.

Since Griffiths was not present, the representative of the Second Wing was so reasonable, and everyone had no objection to Sarah's verdict, the matter ended smoothly.

After the representatives of the two wings hurriedly left as if fleeing, Izayoi Sakamaki chuckled at Ritsuka Fujimaru:
"You never seem to stay still, causing this mess as soon as you get back. But well done!"

"There's nothing I can do, I just happened to run into it by chance."

Fujimaru Ritsuka shrugged innocently.

The other party seemed to be aware of their own limitations, so they only dared to speak secretly behind each other's backs. If Fujimaru Ritsuka hadn't happened to witness it, they might still be completely unaware of anything.

At this moment, Sarah said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, my men have caused you trouble."

"It's okay, it's not your fault."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and waved her hand. Then, Black Rabbit, who was standing to the side, asked somewhat angrily:
"But speaking of which, what exactly is going on with that guy?"

"He..."

Sarah rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit of a headache, and explained to them with a wry smile.

Griffith Grivel's father is Draco Grivel, the previous leader of the Second Wing and the previous chairman of the Alliance Council of the Dragonhorn Griffin. Therefore, he believes that not only should he be the leader of the Second Wing, but he should also inherit the position of chairman of the Alliance Council.

From his perspective, Sarah, an outsider, had taken away the position that should have belonged to him. Therefore, Griffiths had been in conflict with Sarah ever since she took over.

With this victory in the Dragon War, Sarah's position has become more secure, earning her the title of [Southern District Leader]. She is also tasked with unifying the [Dragon Horned Griffin] and becoming its sole leader, which only fuels Griffith's resentment.

Therefore, the group of No Name, who contributed significantly to the battle against the dragons, were likely targeted by the enemy as well.

After hearing the whole story, Kasukabe You aptly remarked:
"Narrow-mindedness and unrealistic expectations are completely unacceptable."

Given his own qualifications, he should have been a strong candidate to compete for the position of Chairman of the Alliance, but he still lost to Sarah, an outsider, despite having the advantage. This speaks volumes.

However, for them, there was no need to pay too much attention to a minor character like Griffith, unless the other party wanted to cause trouble again.

“Oh, right,” Fujimaru Ritsuka said, glancing at the man who had been silently standing in the corner since earlier.
"May I ask who this person is...?"

Without a doubt, this is a strong person.

Unlike gifted individuals like Izayoi Sakamaki and Asuka Kudo, his strength likely comes from years of training. Beneath his slender frame lies a muscular physique as solid as refined iron, and even his stance is flawless, suggesting an instinct to always be ready for battle.

There are many such Servants in Chaldea, so she can tell them apart at a glance. However, what puzzles her is that the other party does not have the aura of an alcohol-trained person. Instead, he gives people a strange feeling of being lifeless and about to die.

"I'm sorry, I didn't say anything because I saw that things were going so smoothly for you."

The man smiled innocently and sighed:

"Little Sarah has really grown up; she looks like a leader."

“Lord Jiao Liu, um… I’m already two hundred years old, using the word ‘young’ is a bit…”

Sarah slumped her shoulders in exasperation upon hearing this, while Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed thoughtful upon hearing how Sarah addressed him.

Jiao Liu...

Then, she asked:
"Are you the [Jiao Demon King]?"

"it's me."

Jiao Liu said with some surprise:
"I didn't expect to hear that name from you. Has anyone mentioned me to you?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded:

"Yes, Pest mentioned that you seemed to have contacted me."

"That is indeed true."

Jiao Liu scratched his head and laughed:

"But I don't actually have anything to ask you. I just want to meet the boss's new junior sister."

"I see. Well then..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her cheek, and the two of them just stared at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After all, apart from both of them knowing Sun Wukong, they were complete strangers.

To ease the increasingly awkward atmosphere, Fujimaru Ritsuka decisively changed the subject, glancing left and right as she said:

"Speaking of which, isn't White Yaksha here?"

For her, the most important thing right now is to determine the origin of the small garden, and their progress at this point seems to have left only the path of pursuing a single-digit domain.

Although none of the gods have found a solution, it's certainly wise to ask the veteran White Yaksha of the Little Garden first.

Sarah answered her question:

"Lord White Demon left very early today, it seems like something's up..."

"Is someone calling me?"

Just then, Shiro Yaksha's slightly amused voice came from outside the door, drawing everyone's attention. When the other person appeared in front of them, they suddenly realized that there was another person beside Shiro Yaksha.

Upon seeing that person's figure, Jiao Liu froze on the spot, hardly believing his eyes.

At the same time, the other person's eyes lit up with surprise the moment they saw him:
"Third brother, what are you doing here?!"

Hearing the other person's call, Jiao Liu finally came to his senses and opened his mouth slightly as if to say something, but found that many words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and he could not speak for a long time.

After a long while, he finally revealed a smile that seemed to be a cry, and called out to the other person:

"Long time no see, boss."
