Chapter 337 – If a Person Who Is Not Angry Gets Angry, Run Away -2-
The time when Rike and Chloe returned to the mansion after the academy.
In order to convey Seria’s words, the two walked around the yard and looked around, but there was no sign of anyone.
In the case of Roman and Eclair, Chloe spoke up because the premise was that they could not be detected.
“Brother, where are you?”
“Did we all go out together for a while? I don’t think my brother is here either.”
“What should I do? I don’t think the sisters are here either. Ceria will be waiting…”
Eclair, even if it’s rare that I’m here at this time due to work.
On the way back, Roman, who was training every day, as well as Lily’s and Alice, were nowhere to be seen.
I haven’t gone inside the mansion yet.
As I realized there were no people, I could feel the quiet air from the yard.
Squeak-
As they opened the door and entered, the two girls were greeted by a lonely living room, even though the lights were on.
“I think it’s important to have people in the mansion. It feels like there’s no warmth…”
“Right? I felt the same way.”
Perhaps because it is wide, the sound of footsteps is unnecessarily loud and you have to be careful not to use too much effort.
The first thing that catches your eye is the yellow note placed on the table.
Rikke took her paper in her hand.
Chloe pushed her head into Ricke’s shoulder and lifted her chin.
“This is your handwriting.”
“It’s true! Hehe… Isn’t your handwriting really cute?”
“Huh~ Chloe is also in serious condition. It’s a problem for me to sympathize, too.”
It is clear that Roman’s handwriting is so bad that other people would think it was a password if they saw it.
However, the women in the mansion do not fall into that category of ‘other people’.
When your lover leaves a note, you can leisurely interpret the writing because you have read it over and over again.
“”···.””
My eyes moved along the brief content that didn’t even fill a single page.
It contained enough information to make the two people’s expressions harden.
In particular, Rike’s expression was particularly bad.
*****
“Have you seen him guard his head in the air? He’s talented, right?”
“···Yes.”
Someone’s wide embrace.
Ceria’s eyes widened enormously when she saw the characters behind the voices.
“Mo, adventurer! Sister!”
“This instructor was impressed by the effectiveness of the practical classes. If you protect your head like you do now, there is a chance of recovery even if other parts of your body are injured.”
Roman smiled and hid his emotions in an attempt to brighten her mood by complimenting Ceria, who took him into her arms, to reassure her.
“···.”
Liline’s face was so upset that even that was impossible.
Anger that has crossed the threshold.
I couldn’t feel the slightest trace of her laughter drying up, and her hand holding the staff was shaking.
Her pulse is racing and her heart is pounding with anger.
Her body was bubbling up as if it were about to burst into heat.
Her head felt like it was going to explode.
This was not a problem that could be solved by yelling at Gerritz Electra or using indiscriminate violence.
“Sister···?”
“Seria. Are you hurt?”
“Uh, yeah! I’m fine!”
Seeing the corner of Liline’s mouth being forcefully pulled up, Seria was greatly embarrassed and jumped up.
Forgetting her awareness of Roman’s embrace in hers, Ceria tried to reassure her Lily.
And the other side.
The knight’s voice sank low as he stared at Roman.
“···Baron. Who is that?”
Tension and pressure felt by instinct.
When the driver with his eyes fixed on Roman asked a question, Geritz opened his mouth.
“Well, that woman is Lily’s Electra! She ran away from her family to become an adventurer.”
“It’s not about women that I’m asking.”
As the knight cut off her horse, frustration welled up inside Geritz.
However, as a recipient of her help, what can you do if you suppress it without being noticed?
“This is the first time I’ve seen a man. From what I hear, I think he might be an adventurer.”
“···Adventurer.”
Even though my gaze is not directed in this direction, I feel like my every move is being read by that man.
So that you can pull it out at any time.
The knight of Skadi tensed and placed her hand on her sword.
“Sister… Are you angry?”
“Yeah. I’m mad. I’m really mad.”
“···.”
“But it’s not because of Ceria.”
Lily, who gently brushed Ceria’s hair as she noticed her through no fault of her own, took a step forward in front of her.
“Whoa!”
Lily Nee stepped forward, exhaling her breath and steeling her resolve.
‘Today···.’
See the end Liline decided that way.
If you respond lukewarmly or leave your roots behind, you will definitely regret it, just like you have lived your whole life.
Perfect!
Let the tip of the staff hit the floor.
A strong wind rose so that Lily’s pink hair was clearly visible.
– Wind Imprison.
“Uh, huh?!”
Geritz’s body was bound and floated in the space created by Liline’s wind.
Roman lifted her head up.
“Alice. Leave the wizard alone.”
“Yep!”
Alice, who had been on the roof for reconnaissance, jumped down.
Only then did the knight’s head move busily as he recognized Alice’s presence.
A figure with horns rising on both sides and one arm covered in hard scales.
The knight who saw Alice’s appearance drew his sword without hesitation and stained it with blue aura.
Visor!
“···Yongin people!”
The feeling is that it has been a long time since I received a glare filled with disgust.
The corner of Alice’s mouth smiled.
‘It used to be like this.’
Sticking by Roman’s side only distanced me from the harsh reality.
When this was shown, such a hostile reaction was quite common.
“Mister. What did you add to the horned thing? What did I do that you’re already pulling out your sword?”
“···W-what?”
Let’s stare at Yongin’s sharp pupils as if they will tear him apart.
The knight, pushed by her enormous spirit that did not match her small body, let out an embarrassed voice.
“Were your parents killed by the dragon people?”
“How dare this bitch… Speak ill of a knight of the empire!”
– Sigh!!
The possibility of seeing a spirit in the eyes of a Skadi knight is ridiculously low.
Thero also had hostility burning over his head.
‘You probably didn’t hear, right?’
With a bold talk that would not be made at Roman’s close range.
The Yongin girl summoned Mugu in her hand.
– Terra.
Click! Click! Click!
The golden cube spun in Alice’s palm, spitting out a piece of the square that made up her body.
The abilities of Alice’s attached weapon are magical preservation and immediate activation.
You can remember your magic in advance for each piece and use it at full power without chanting when necessary.
Even though there are disadvantages and minor problems of using twice as much mana as the process is omitted.
For Alice, whose strength is martial arts, the advantages were clearly greater than the disadvantages.
Quick!
– Petrification.
A grinning girl showing sharp molars clenches her fists.
Let’s break the glowing cube pieces with our grip.
Gray smoke exploded around the knight and struck him.
Puhwaak!!
“Cough…! Pfft!”
The driver jumped back and broke through the smoke, but he had already been covered once.
I narrowed my eyes at the blurred vision and coughed repeatedly.
Ttuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-
Every time the armor, which was cracked and turned into stone, moved, it made an unpleasant sound and spilled stone dust.
Even if you are a human without mana, it is definitely not an easy task to turn someone into stone.
If the opponent is a knight who even uses Auras, it is even closer to impossible with Alice’s power.
From the beginning, the direction she was aiming for with her extensive petrification magic was damage to her equipment and deception.
Quick!
Beyond the gray fog, another cube broke and made a sound.
Kukugu – !!
“A trivial trick…!”
The ground trembles beneath her feet and turns to wet mud.
The knight moved his feet again, trying to get out of her position.
“Fool~”
Yongin’s fist and a mocking voice broke through the thick smoke.
Hearing the voice behind him, the knight hurriedly raised his mana.
Quang!
“-!!”
A loud noise that cannot be thought of as hitting a person.
The scaly fist shattered the gray armor and lodged itself in his waist.
The knight’s mouth opened in pain and blood poured out.
“Whoa!”
Jjaeng!
The pain in her lower back caused her to drop her sword.
“Second!”
Coo!
Then, the body of the knight who was hit in the stomach floated and then fell.
“Turn it off…!!”
Toward the knight, who was bent over by the surging pain in his abdomen.
Alice lifted her foot, showing off her flexibility.
The hard heels of her boots, reminiscent of her guillotine, descended onto the heads of her knights.
Bah!!
The image of the knight falling to the ground and stopping.
Death was certain.
You can tell just by looking at the bleeding flowing from the broken head.
This is all in the blink of an eye.
This situation occurred less than a minute after Liline bound Geritz Electra.
“Roman…! It’s over!”
As if asking for praise.
Alice, who had immediately shaken off the bloody momentum from earlier, rushed to Roman’s side.
“Good job. Nothing compares to when we first met, right?”
“Hit…”
Roman stretched out his free hand and touched Alice’s cheek.
The corners of the girl’s mouth drooped.
“Good job Tero too.”
– Sigh!!
Use a weapon that can throw away chants.
The speed at which it exploded, rolled, and grew under Roman and Eclair was dazzling.
It was a moment when Roman’s praise that he had already passed the gold level felt real.
“Ah, that adventurer… You can get off now.”
Ceria, who was blankly watching Alice’s activities, realized her own situation.
The moment you hesitate to say something.
Perfect!
Liline once again touched the ground with her staff.
This proves that the action, which took too much force, has not cooled down yet.
“Geritz Electra.”
After the knight supported by the Marquis was destroyed.
Geritz Electra’s expression after being released from custody was complex.
“Why have humans become so ugly? They were ugly in the past, but not to this extent.”
“···.”
Even though Geritz watched Roman and Alice’s thoughts.
She couldn’t hide the fact that her face was turning red with anger.
“I’ve decided.”
“···.”
“Here I will kill you and succeed the Baron. You have no complaints, right?”
“Ah, do you think your father will allow Electra’s owner to be a woman!!”
Geritz struggles and screams out her anger.
Liline smiled brightly without hiding her anger.
“What do you mean? You killed that knight and his family in the mansion and then came here. Does such a crazy act prove your resolve?”
“!”
Even if Geritz dies, he won’t know how Lilyne knows what happened just before that.
His chin was shaking as he couldn’t choose his words.
“With no father to grant permission and no eldest son to inherit, who would object to me becoming a Baron?”
