19. Thunderous Blitz!
Under the threat of being stabbed to death by the irritable Letty, after much persuasion, she finally agreed not to drag her family along to cause trouble.
With that, although the dangerous script involving those Rosia lackeys had vanished, Letty’s own peril still loomed large, making me realize: now was not the time to worry about my own safety; the dangers awaiting Letty in the upcoming script were far from resolved.
Suppressing my thoughts, I accompanied the fuming Letty alongside Sister Rasputin, and we quickly made our way to the Merli United Kingdom’s outpost in the city, following the address provided by the ingredient supplier—a small building with the peculiar name “Merli United Kingdom Trading Company.”
From there, I could already guess what would happen next without even looking at the script.
We were nearing the outskirts of the city; there were no buildings with “serious illness guards”; and there were no other shops around—at least for the time being, no one was passing by. Faced with such a remote “trading company, ” Letty, already in a foul mood, didn’t even wait for me to speak before resorting to the most straightforward means!
“This is it! Just watch me fry these foreign b*stards’ butts, Brulett!”
With a crackle, a bolt of lightning shot from her sword, shaking the door, and then Letty raised her foot and kicked the door open!
I was in a panic! This hot-headed Rosia girl was way too straightforward! At the very least, we should have prepared, scouted the place, or at the very least, waited for me to see how the script would unfold! However, Letty didn’t care about any of that, and I had no choice but to grit my teeth and follow her immediately!
Inside the room, which was quite nicely decorated with complete tables and chairs, several men in black suits and hats—who at first glance looked like mere extras from the Merli Kingdom—were lazily sitting around, reading newspapers and playing cards. Although this scene seemed unremarkable, the fact that these faces were completely unfamiliar, identical to those who had previously gone to the shop to maliciously acquire and pick fights, gradually filled me with doubt.
However, I didn’t have time to think further. Letty’s violent entrance by kicking the door open was so abrupt that the Merli Kingdom’s extras were startled and immediately stood up, glaring at us!
“What are you… ah, Rosians?”
“Hmph, what’s it to you? Here to sell your house?”
I felt increasingly uneasy, but this time I had no chance to communicate with these extras to gather more script hints. After all, their attitude only fueled Letty’s anger, who was already here to “settle scores”! She gripped her oddly-shaped sword even tighter, her face growing more furious.
“Our Rosian shop has nothing to do with you! What are you trying to do by deliberately causing trouble!?”
“What are we doing? Of course, we’re here to acquire! Otherwise, why would we leave such a prime location to you barbarians just to open a small shop?”
“Those mere northern barbarians should stop trying to do business like everyone else. Hurry up and sell while the Merli United Kingdom is still willing to make an offer, pack your things, and roll back home to the Rodema Empire! Hahaha!”
Letty raised her hand, ready to “go all out.” I immediately grabbed the other arm of this little girl, but in her current state, Letty didn’t care to listen to my advice!
[Ogilid’s persuasion of Letty to calm down failed!]
On top of that, Sister Rasputin was also stubbornly clenching her fists, ready to throw a punch, and now I couldn’t even hold them back!
As for the Merli Kingdom’s extras, I couldn’t tell if they were foolish or just didn’t understand the situation, but upon seeing Letty’s sword, they became even more arrogant and provocative!
“Oy, what’s this? You’re coming in here with a sword to challenge us? Little kid, go home and play house~”
“Brother, I’m standing right here for you to hit. If you have the guts, come at me!”
Their provocation became the last straw that completely sent Letty into a rage.
[Letty unleashed the power of lightning, destroying the entire room!]
The script appeared, and I could no longer stop it, because at the same moment the script emerged, the strange long sword in Letty’s hand was already crackling with arcs of electricity, gradually spreading throughout her body. Then, like a wild horse that had broken free, it began to surge wildly around Letty, and finally… she could no longer restrain her actions and completely unleashed it!
This was clearly the powerful “ultimate move” that I had seen before in the Rosia Empire, which Letty unleashed once a day! Was it really necessary to be so ruthless against a group of extras!?
Lightning transformed into thunder and began to roar. I even felt that the sky had darkened with clouds, and at any moment a bolt of lightning could strike down! There was no point in talking about stopping now; I, standing to the side, didn ‘t even dare to move, because even the slightest action would pull me into Letty’s extremely dangerous and indiscriminate ultimate move.
【Ogilid was accidentally killed by lightning!】
Reality is not a game; there is friendly fire!
At this point, the extras who had just been mocking Letty finally realized something was wrong, if they still had any brains left!
“Hey! What’s wrong with this little girl!?”
“What do you want to do!?”
“Ugh~~ that’s electricity! Run, run!”
Their arrogant attitude vanished, but realizing Letty’s danger was a bit too late. In the next moment, Letty, who was so furious she could barely speak, raised her sword!
The roaring lightning immediately swept away! Down to the tables and chairs, up to the walls and lights, the golden lightning engulfed everything! Immediately after, a blinding white light fell from the ceiling, enveloping everything in my sight. The extras, who were just about to cover their heads and flee, didn’t even have time to scream before their voices were drowned out by the rumbling of the thunder.
【Letty taught the extras of the Meri United Kingdom a lesson with her once-a-day ultimate move!】
What a waste; why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?
I quickly steadied Letty, who was a bit fatigued after all this, as she leaned on her sword, panting angrily. Meanwhile, Sister Rasputin coldly laughed as she walked through the wreckage of the already disordered furniture, approaching those extras who were starting to smoke and didn’t even know if they were alive or dead, and kicked one of them who could barely still whimper.
“Anyone who offends our Rosia Empire has never had a good ending. If you dare to play tricks on our industry again, it won’t be as simple as losing this building, got it!?”
Even if they heard her, they probably couldn’t respond…
No, wait, more importantly, I should hurry…
I used all my strength to give Letty, who had just used her ultimate move and was completely drained, a princess carry. Finally, it distracted her from the thought of causing more trouble for the Meri Kingdom, although shyly.
“Alright, Letty, we’ve finished what we needed to do. Can we go back now?”
Because, the feeling on my side was not good at all, and most importantly…
【Letty is in danger in the Rodma Empire!】
Clearly, we had successfully educated this group of extras without any setbacks, but…
Letty’s dangerous script still existed; in other words… danger was still waiting for Letty!?
