Chapter 242 – 241. Carnival (1)
In the middle of the night.
Eastern frontier.
It seems that Gareth and Gaheris were planning to sneak in, to the eastern border, to the place where Gawain and the Golden Sun were, and chose to wait until nightfall before entering.
Of course…
“There’s no use in doing that.”
“…It’s noisy. You bitch, you’re so proud that Merlin is here-“
“…If you attack me, you attack me. You’re a knight, so why do you only fight with your snout? Ah! Is it because you’re not a knight?”
“You damn-“
“Thank you for your hard work in coming this far.”
Of course, before they can fight, a voice is heard. It seems like he won’t allow them to fight.
A maid woman with blue eyes and brown hair mixed with gold appears against the night moonlight, wearing a maid outfit with pauldrons, breast guards, and gaiters.
And Lorraine, who was next to her, knew who she was.
“…Anna, sister.”
“…!!”
Kaaaaa!!
And an acquaintance of Lorraine.
If so, you are an acquaintance of Geum Taeyang.
Was this the moment when they rushed in to subdue him?
Kwaaaaa!!!
“Whoa!”
Gareth, she gets hit in the stomach with a single fist, and the armor on her stomach is completely crushed and falls off.
And she is a woman so delicate that it is hard to believe that she was sent away. Looking closely, I noticed that her ears were like those of an animal, and her tail, a furry tail, showed that she was not human.
Gareth rushed in first, but Harris could see that she was very similar to the woman he had encountered before who introduced herself as [Mine].
She was smiling brightly, except that each word she spoke was extremely sharp and harsh.
A soft voice and a gentle smile.
Even the way he speaks.
I feel an unknown pressure in these three beats.
“Oh my, you have very bad hand habits. No, since you are a woman, should I call you my grandson? Anyway, it’s been a while, Lorraine. You ignored your teacher’s instructions and brought these mutts all the way here. What do you think, you’re having a hard time leaving home?”
“…There’s no need to put it down like that…Ah…Yeah.”
The sight of that foul-tempered bitch lashing out at the maid in front of her. Looking at her Gareth, who was coughing up blood and preparing to lunge with his sword, Anna grabbed the ends of both skirts and lifted them up, curtseying.
“Dun Bringer’s maid is the one who responds to rudeness with a graceful greeting. Also, Clark Dawn Bringer’s exclusive maid. Her name is Anna. And… The owner’s strict order is to treat even damned cats like you as [Guests]. “There you are. The master welcomes you.”
“…You think we’re just casually greeting each other, do you?”
“You’re saying something strange. Is it a knight who holds a neighbor hostage while talking to them just because they can’t treat a dog, or is it a city administration thug? Is this because Arthur converted all the knights who died into city administration thugs?”
And Anna, her Gareth, and her own, swung her fists at Heris.
Pak!!
“…!!!”
What fist?!
The sword bounces away with an impact as if it had been hit with a rock. Of course, the golden magic in Anna’s fist was the same as that used by Lorraine when strengthening, and not only did Gareth’s bastard sword fly away, but Io and Gareth’s sword were also thrown away with her hands. She catches it and holds it with just the grip of her hands.
Even if you try to take it out, you can’t.
This-
How-
“…What is this!”
“Well, if you want to get beaten like that…”
“Anna.”
And then black hair and red eyes appeared.
A slender-looking girl with sinister-looking red eyes, a flowing dress, and a black frilly dress? A woman? Appears. Naturally, it came from her hand.
It begins to wrap around them like a wire.
Of course-
“Ugh, me, why!?”
“You? Well, I don’t know. I’m just doing it because [The master] Told me to. I guess you’re lucky. If it wasn’t for the master’s orders, she would have just killed her.”
“…Huh!?”
And Lorraine sensed something in the woman before her.
Spider.
That too-
An incredibly huge spider.
It’s not just a spider.
This is…
And the energy I feel from this-
“You can’t be… The one who was raised by Master-“
“Oh, you know me? Um… Now that I think about it, I think I saw a kid who looked similar to you. Well, I don’t know. To me, human characteristics are… Just like you looking at ants.”
I think I understand.
This is the spider that Master raised.
Arachnia.
Along with my teacher’s uncanny sense of naming, I named it Nia by taking the last two letters of the spider’s scientific name, and that it was the spider that was by my teacher’s side and on his shoulder.
And it pointed towards Anna.
“I know you’re angry, but the owner told me to bring him back instead of killing him. That’s it.”
“You, you- what are you…?”
“Shut up.”
And once again, spider webs shoot out from his hands and cover Gareth’s mouth, gagging Gareth’s station. And Nia bound them with her web, and Gareth, and Gaheris. The two are dragged into the web, and Anna lifts Lorraine.
Of course, Lorraine, who wants to go on her own feet, protests to Anna as if she is unfair, but Anna does not even flinch her eyes.
“Ugh, Anna. Can you please let me off the hook?”
“No.”
“…Why!? Are you afraid I’ll run away?”
“Well, there is no such thing. It may be, but my master is not asking me to arrest you without thinking.”
Something is strange.
…
Did Anna touch me like this?
Rather…
Of course, whether she thought so or not, Anna simply lifted Lorraine in her arms and carried her over her shoulders,
Look around.
She seems to be searching for something about herself for a moment, then Anna lets out her sigh and looks at Lorraine.
“The master’s predictions are never wrong. And… He plays with idiots who think they are smart.”
“Ugh, are you saying I’m stupid?!”
“Yes, you idiot.”
“Bad, doppang!? Even my sister calls me dopeppang?”
“You better be prepared if your master sees you going to Camelot to take revenge that your master didn’t ask you to, and attaching strange mechanical devices to your body and living in a precarious state where your magic circuits are on the verge of being removed.”
“…Ugh-“
Could it be that she recognized it right away just by seeing it in her eyes?
It’s as they say.
After being caught-
He is in a precarious situation as he has received all kinds of procedures that can cause his entire body to be equipped with devices to control magical energy, and even his magic circuits to be removed and exploded at any time.
Even now, if someone in Camelot puts their mind to it, they can always…
“…Well, you still know what I’m saying and the situation here. That’s right.”
Look at the sky
A flying object still follows you in the sky.
And that it is still following Lorraine, Gareth, and Gaheris after tying them up.
Gareth, Gaheris.
The two try to resist somehow, but-
Kwaaaaang!!!
In the end, Nia couldn’t bear it anymore and was beaten.
And only the denting of their armor, the screams that could not escape through the gag in their mouths, and the twisting of their bodies and writhing like dogs were all that showed the intensity of their pain.
To begin with, she wasn’t very friendly to humans.
Clicking her tongue, Anna used her magic to help Gareth and Gareth restore Heris’s crushed internal organs. Nia’s eyes lit up as she looked at Gareth and Gareth, who were drooping in a half-asleep state.
“Next time you do shit again, I’m going to cut off one of her arms and legs.”
“…ㅁ…ㅣ…Chin…”
“…Nia, the master told me not to kill you.”
“I didn’t kill him.”
“With just that single blow, the internal organs of a human body will be crushed to pieces and the person will die.”
“…Uh, then-did you almost die just now?”
Well, is there any way to know how durable humans are in the first place? Not only had she never directly fought in battle, but since she was a Nia who didn’t bother to do anything against humans, she didn’t know and hit her.
Aside from being dumbfounded at Lorraine, who thought the owner [Clarke] Would be angry at her and was in tears, she also seemed to be having a conversation that seemed very unsuitable for this serious situation. What am I doing now? I tilt my head as I think about this.
Even so, nothing will change.
“Thanks to you, I used magic that I didn’t need to use, but I expected that you wouldn’t be able to control your strength in the first place.”
“…Ugh, it’s difficult. This is why I hate humans. If you hit them, they die.”
You hit me with a tap.
“…So, you are Clark’s disciple.”
Another being appears.
This time, black skin and long ears. Silver hair.
Blue eyes.
Okay.
It’s a dark elf.
“…You are-“
“Well, it’s okay. Be quiet and follow me.”
…
And only then do you see things around you.
A dragon with red hair. There is a woman wearing a suit with white hair, a woman with brown hair who is looking at them with a slightly wary face, and looking at them wearing maid clothes, they appear to be another maid brought in by their teacher.
There are also familiar faces there.
“Hector…Scherwitz-!?”
“It must be quick to say that you know me. Anyway, Clark, the love you have for your student is so special.”
“…Do you and Master know each other?”
“I know. That dog… Ha, really. Why are my sisters-“
He looks irritated, leaning on his spear and shield while wiping his face. However, there is no sincere malice visible there. Without realizing it, the teacher who had been stuck in the corner of the room had made a new friend.
Was this the teacher who always hung out with Dick Johnson and that strange person?
And it is enough to listen to his personal requests.
And Gareth, Gaheris. Hector looked at the two with a sad look, and, apart from the irritation he had shown earlier, he showed clear hostility toward them and growled at them.
“No way, you guys must be quite excited to be preparing to storm into a demon cave like this with just three people. Anyway, are you a disciple of the Golden Sun?”
Hector Scherwitz.
Siege of Vergina.
When the remaining nobles in Vergina were destroyed one by one and forced to stamp their seals, only one duke resisted, and from that point on, Hector tenaciously allowed numerous nobles and troops to retreat safely from Vergina. After enduring and enduring, they eventually succeeded in withdrawing the large army, and you can’t tell how much Camelot was upset by that.
Guinevere even made a fuss, asking how it was that every time we went outside, everything got messed up like this, but whatever.
He was a master general and knight who successfully evacuated the troops from Vergina together with the Duke of Pantalone.
“…Yes, I am Lorraine Lionheart, Clark Dawn Bringer’s first student.”
“I see. Well, that’s it. Anyway, your teacher… Seems like he really wants to say something to you. Plus, that thing that’s following you up there seems to have a lot to say to your teacher, too.”
“…”
A flying object identifies Hector.
To be precise, you must have heard Hector’s words.
It was a device that followed the knights to monitor them, and was also a communication device that output images and sounds to convey the will of Camelot. And…
“…Tsk, looking at you, why are you complaining about having a dog on a leash? What crime did you commit to end up like that?”
“…”
“It doesn’t really matter if you don’t say anything, but… Monk Ness is waiting for you. And looking at it, it seems like this was your [Queen’s] Goal from the beginning to the end… I’ll figure it out.”
-…Hector, Scherwitz. Where is Geum Taeyang?
And finally, a voice comes from the drone.
A woman’s voice.
But Hector does not respond to that.
Just…
“…Guinevere, don’t think you can ever be forgiven for what you did to my country.”
-The weak die, the strong survive. That obvious principle is the only law that rules the world.
“It’s ugly.”
I just don’t respond to it any further.
Gareth and Gaheris in front of you. Hector, who has seen what these two did before his eyes and how many of his comrades and allies died that way, immediately calls out Gareth and Gaheris. All I wanted to do was tear these two to pieces and kill them.
Bring him back alive.
And Geum Taeyang said that if he was a man in his right mind, he would definitely try to approach him first.
Gareth and Gaheris, the two of them will be treated as useless.
Keep moving.
The moment when all the people in the territory fell asleep and fell asleep.
Continue the story as you go.
“Geumtaeyang is waiting. You probably have something to do with him anyway. I have a lot to say to you, but I’ll keep it short.”
-No matter how much you talk to a mutt, your mouth will only hurt.
And Lorraine.
The control devices and magic circuits attached to various parts of her body begin to heat up. And Anna felt her whole body getting hot and looked at Lorraine.
I knew it.
Are you saying that right from the start, you’re going to take the initiative like this?
-If you do something foolish, I will make sure you can never use magic again.
“…If you can handle that anger.”
And Hector, from her point of view, speaks to Guinevere, who thinks he is holding the golden sun’s leash here and now, but Guinevere only snorts. In the first place, it is a reaction that can only be shown by those who regard each person as a piece of chess and judge only whether they are useless or useful, and of course, only those who have a thorough profit and loss calculation that regardless of whether the disciple of the Golden Sun dies or not, the only thing left is the damage to the Golden Sun. This was an action that would be seen.
-Heh, does that come out even after looking at Camelot’s majestic army? I saw it here too. I want the magic of the golden sun. And I want to embrace you by my side. And, it is a tool for that, nothing more, nothing less. If you’re a guy who’s angry about this bitch dying-
“Well, one thing’s for sure: I think you’re pretty shit.”
And, finally, we arrived at the place.
And there, a man with blond hair and bronze skin, and a large knight with blond hair and blue eyes wearing armor. Gawain was standing.
The image of the drone is displayed, and at the same time, Lorraine is suppressing the pain, barely holding back a scream from the corner of her mouth.
The moment when Geumtaeyang’s eyes turned to Lorraine.
-Stop right there, Geumtaeyang. If you take even one step from there, I will burn all your disciple’s magic circuits and magic power.
And Geumtaeyang’s eyebrows twitch.
A video began to be output from the drone, and Guinevere, a woman wearing a crown, the crown of Camelot, appeared and declared to the golden sun.
-Join Camelot. I don’t want to see your student’s life taken…
“…Oh, it’s coming out strong. Are you willing to make a deal with my student here?”
Disciple.
He is my disciple.
This damn student who raised my blood pressure so much just by using this bloated MAX.
What happened in the past 7 years, you idiot?
Gareth, Gaheris. And my disciple.
I can see abnormal signals coming from my student’s entire body. Of course, near the magic circuit and the circulation passage of magic throughout the body,
It was so viciously nailed.
Each and every one of them is connected to a fatal vital point, and this place can melt at any time.
So, if you don’t want to see your student being left behind, surrender meekly.
Well, this is the story.
Yes, it’s such an obvious cliche that it’s not even fun.
“…Oh, it’s coming out strong. Are you willing to make a deal with my student here?”
-Do you think I’m joking? If you’re a cold-blooded person who isn’t afraid of losing a bitch like this, you can’t do that.
“But what can I do about this? It’s so obvious what to do that it’s not fun. No, to be honest, if it was a brainwashing group, I wouldn’t have been able to do this or that.”
The only thing I’m worst at is mental manipulation.
That’s right, because as soon as I touch something, I just go crazy. Of course, there was nothing I couldn’t do, and at the same time, I was holding Lorraine in my hands.
-…?!
I am holding Lorraine, and Anna sits where I was.
And then Anna disappears.
To be precise, what was Anna’s image disappears.
Okay.
Anna was not here from beginning to end, and right now, she is guarding Eliza Lotte’s bedroom in preparation for a possible surprise attack.
So I borrowed her spare clothes and put them on and pretended to be Anna, and she got into it beautifully.
Well, the downside is that I look pretty shitty wearing Anna’s clothes, but what can I do?
And then he puts his hand into Lorraine’s body.
Fuuuuuk-
Literally, I put my hand in, and concentrated all the control devices, control devices, explosive devices, etc., All kinds of micro machines and nano machines attached to Lorraine’s body into my hand and attached them all.
And, take it out of Lorraine’s body and-
Kwaaaaang!!!!
Mechanical equipment explodes in one’s hands.
With all the defenses wrapped around my hands, various poisons exploded in my hands, poisons and explosives that dissipate all magical power, and even drugs.
In total, the number is a whopping 200.
Naturally, I was furious that I had this on my student’s body, and I finally tore off the mask covering his pretty face.
And…
“…”
Crumbling-
The dimension itself resonates.
The air reacts to my anger, and the heavens and earth shake.
The face beneath the disciple’s mask.
And looking at the face under that mask, I felt devastated.
You made a pretty face like this.
“…Why are you having such a hard time leaving home, you idiot?”
“S-Master…I-I…I…”
…Wow, the skin on his face was peeled off.
It was also burned by fire.
Only the bloody tears flowing from the corners of her eyes show that Lorraine is in pain and that this situation is extremely shameful.
There is no problem.
Of course, there’s really no problem.
It’s frustrating, but Lorraine is alive, and if she’s alive, I can easily return her to her original state.
Transfer this wound to me.
“I have never allowed you to suffer. Even if you give it to me, do you think I would give it to someone else?”
