Chapter 336 – If a Person Who Is Not Angry Gets Angry, Run Away -1-

“Are you Baron Electra? You’re younger than I thought.”

The front of a frog that jumps out of a well and lands on the wet dirt floor.

If a snake with its tongue lashing out was breathing.

Isn’t this how a helpless amphibian feels?

“···Eh, my name is Geritz Electra, Baron Electra’s representative and the eldest son of the family!”

“Hmm.”

The insidious energy I felt the moment I stepped into the space made my body stiffen.

The horrifying sensation that Enoch Skadi was giving me was too much, so I quickly came to my senses.

“Baron Wyberg Electra is too old to leave his sick bed, so I, Gerritz Electra, have come to pay homage to his marquess in his stead.”

“Ah. It’s a common story. Can I just call him Baron?”

“···Thank you.”

The Marquis’s boredom, as he seems to be sick of the bowing attitude of others.

Geritz envied that leisure.

“Sit comfortably.”

“Excuse me.”

Geritz sat down across from him and stretched out his back.

Enoch opened his mouth with one of his legs crossed.

“Have you ever attended Lofty Academy?”

“It’s a shame that I learned so little. There is nothing.”

“What was your experience visiting the capital?”

“I have no experience even setting foot in it…”

It was difficult to figure out what Enoch was thinking as his expression didn’t change.

Just looking at the context of the conversation.

Geritz’s throat burned as he wondered if this was a situation where school ties or local ties were being discussed.

“Hmm, that’s really interesting. Isn’t there a girl who goes to Lofty Academy in Baron Electra?”

“···If you are talking about Ceria Electra, the case is a bit unusual.”

I wonder if this little guy had an accident and someone at the Marquis got offended.

Geritz’s heart sank to the ground.

“Well, I’m not asking you to hear about my family’s history. My daughter, Ricke Skadi, is also indebted to the Academy.”

Could it be that the tomboy’s accidental victim was the daughter of this marquis?

Ritsu’s mouth was sealed as he waited for her to say anything.

“One of the people I hang out with as a close friend is Electra’s daughter. And the other is the daughter of Count Dritna.”

“D-Dritna…? Is this the same Dritna who produced the 5th knight, Eclair Dritna?!”

“Were there two Dritna in this empire?”

When Geritz was startled and raised her voice, she was met with a pitiful gaze.

Her gaze forcibly cools and calms her complicated mind.

“I looked ugly. I’m sorry.”

“That’s it. Anyway, now that I’ve installed the basic tome, let’s get to the point.”

The Marquis sighed, saying he hated wasting time swinging his sword.

“···I will listen!”

A level of concentration you will never experience again in your life.

There should never be a question asked again.

“Troublesomely, humans have emotional ups and downs as they grow. I wanted to ask why the Goddess, who is worshiped and revered by everyone as omnipotent, designed humans so insignificantly.”

“···.”

Geritz’s eyes wavered as he wondered if the remark bordered on blasphemy.

Enoch Skadi didn’t care at all.

“They say there are crazy children who don’t have the strength to live in the empire’s society on their own, but rebel against their parents’ words without thinking about the future, or run away from home saying they want to become adventurers.”

“I’m embarrassed because the foolish act of passing off as an adventurer is quite common among baronets and baronets…”

There are characters that immediately come to mind, so I sympathize with them both forward and backward.

“The eldest daughter of the Skadi family is in such a situation right now. She is going through a period of gale and fury… She doesn’t come back even when I tell her to, and it’s such a nuisance.”

“You must be very worried.”

“She has a big past, so even if we try to understand, she is the eldest daughter of a knight family, so we can’t tell her whether she will come or not.”

This is a story I don’t necessarily want to mention.

I only know about the accident that occurred at the Marquis of Skadi.

“You are right. Lady Skadi will soon realize that this is correct discipline.”

“I hope so. That’s why I ask the Baron for a favor – huh!”

While she was talking, Enoch Skadi’s whole body wriggled as if he was holding her face.

“Gwae, are you okay?!”

Geritz hurriedly got up and tried to find the person he was using.

Enoch held up his hand to stop him.

“Hmm. It’s no problem, just wait a moment.”

“!”

The Marquis’ whole body was pounding and emitting something irregularly.

Ritsu, who knew how to feel her mana, felt the discomfort of her throat closing up.

“Whoa…”

As if just a few seconds ago had been an illusion and a dream.

The creepy energy that had been coming out of the Marquis had evaporated and was no longer felt at all.

“By the way, I would like to ask Baron Electra, who understands my situation, a favor.”

How to answer here was a crossroads.

The Marquis of Skadi’s line was cut off once in the past, but he clearly has the power to elevate Baroness Electra.

Geritz Electra’s judgment.

“Please order!”

After making a quick decision and lowering his head, Enoch smiled for the first time.

That too is full of satisfaction.

“I hope the baron and his daughter will use their strength to bring back my daughter, who is weak in affection.”

“What can I do with this Gerritz Electra?”

“There are various ways. It would be fine to just capture my daughter… It would be a bit apologetic, but I might have to use Electra’s female food for bad purposes. She is a child who takes after her mother and is particularly weak to affection.”

“It’s not even possible! I will consider it an honor, so I hope the Marquis can use it to his heart’s content!”

The Marquis’s mood, his dissatisfaction with his child’s behavior.

Even with that alone, it wasn’t difficult to understand that sentence.

Enoch, who was having a short chat with Ritsu, moved the corners of his mouth in concern.

After careful consideration, I checked the sword lying next to me.

‘Maybe it’s because he’s a village baron… He can clearly see what he wants.’

They want to be acknowledged by those far above them.

They are the type that is easy to deal with if you tell them what they want to hear.

“From my brief impressions, the Baron doesn’t seem like a man that would satisfy the serfs. A man with manly ambition is different even from the pupils of his eyes.”

“!”

The pleasure and coolness of scratching an itchy area.

It was the first time in my life that someone recognized this desire and thirst.

“It’s unplanned, but I’d like to ask you one last question.”

“Yes···!”

The last question mentioned.

I feel hopeful and confident that something will happen here.

Gerritz Electra, who had been judged by the Marquis as being unexpected, raised her voice.

“If you can gain strength, power, fame, and wealth, how far can you go to get rid of a man named Gerritz Electra?”

*****

“Ceria Electra.”

“?!”

A voice that fills you with astonishment.

Anyone who hears a voice full of hostility can tell that it is not in a good mood.

If I were to extrapolate a little broadly, I would dare to say that there was a sense of death.

“Geritz…?”

“Where did you throw away ‘nim’?!”

A face that goes beyond anger.

The animal-like angry expression feels somewhat abnormal.

“If you listen to me at once, I will forgive the rudeness I have shown so far with a heart like the sea. Follow me gracefully.”

“···Ah! That’s it!”

Seria’s gaze and fingers were pointed directly at Geritz’s back.

Very natural acting.

Geritz’s head turned because there was someone who secretly accompanied him.

When she saw the empty alley, she realized she had been tricked.

When I returned my gaze, I saw a shoe flying away.

Widely!

“Remaining tricks!”

As soon as she hit the loafer flying at her face, Ceria was already running down her alley and running away.

“I’m going to tell my sister everything! Idiot! Idiot! I’ll be bald in the future!”

From beginning to end, all of his actions are frivolous.

Crackle-!

It felt like my molars were going to break.

“That bitch needs some training. Please.”

“Tsk. That doesn’t make sense.”

It’s as if he doesn’t like the way Gerritz’s voice moves.

Clicking her tongue, the knight of Skadi emerged from around the corner and moved her feet.

Thud!

Even wearing her heavy armor, she was able to catch and intercept Ceria in an instant.

The difference in capabilities was clear.

“Lady Electra. Stop running away, which is a waste of time.”

“Tch!”

Despite the momentum of her knight, Ceria did not stop her steps.

She gently moved her ankles to turn and run.

As I was running down the alley, I came to a dead end.

When she turned her head, Geritz was smiling wryly and gathering her mana.

“Stupid bitch. Have you ever thought about being led here?”

A narrow, straight alley.

Gerritz Electra’s wind magic.

An unidentified knight blocking the road.

Ceria’s light body.

I didn’t know exactly what the purpose was, but it was clear that it was the worst possible situation.

“When you open your eyes, you will be in a different place.”

– A southern wind.

When Geritz stretched out her hand, wind poured out along with mana.

“Tsk!!”

A sticky, unpleasant strong wind that made it difficult to open your eyes.

Aside from the unpleasant mana, it was magic beyond imagination.

‘Was Geritz like this…?’

The mana-enhanced body floated and the world spun.

‘First of all, head! ‘You have to keep your head!’

In moments like this when you can’t be seen, protect the back of your head and your head at all costs.

Didn’t you learn it in practical classes?

Ceria tried as hard as she could to cover her head before it hit the wall.

Width!

A sense of stability that is incredible for a wall.

‘···What?’

A collision where no impact is felt at all.

Ceria sensed something was strange and loosened her hands that were covering her head.

I raised my head.

“Have you seen him guard his head in the air? He’s talented, right?”

“···Yes.”

I saw two familiar faces.
