“ Sorry~, Mr. Gouto. A~s lo~ng as I’m ru~l~ing over this M~ans~ion, ther~e will be no fight~ing in here~. ”

“ Roswaal, you’re here too?! Ah man, Justice, I owe you lots! ”



Gouto regrows some of his tendrils and fires them at both Roswaal and Beatrice, distracting them. Meanwhile, he grabs Justice and jumps out of the window. He lands on his feet, close to a girl.

“ W—Who’re you?.. ”

“ I’m Gouto. I don’t think I’ve seen you before. What’s your name? ”

“ I’m a half-elf who lives in and protects this Mansion. Judging by you breaking into Justice’s room and attempting to kidnap him, I will be attacking you. ”

That was Emilia. Her skin was as pale as snow, and her looks could only be described as stunningly beautiful. If anyone were to ask who the most beautiful girl in the Wald Domain was, most people would say ‘Emilia.’ She had long, silky, white hair, that drapes down to her back, that she tied in a braid. She had beautiful purple eyes, with blue pupils. “ This is why I don’t like women. Every single one of them is so passive aggressive. They don’t taste as well as men do, either.~ ”

He drops Justice onto the ground and runs straight at Emilia. He throws a punch, but instead of landing on Emilia, it landed on a forcefield made out of ice. She jumps back and creates icicles, surrounding Gouto. As soon as she snaps her fingers, all of the icicles start flying over to Gouto.

He blocks all of the ones he can see, by using his fists. He uses his tendrils to cover his blindspots.

Once all of the icicles have disappeared, Gouto starts running towards Emilia. She starts casting icicles out of her hands. But it appears to have no effect on him, as he runs through it casually. Once he was close enough, he throws a punch at her——very fast. The punch itself looked clean and knocked away Emilia very far.

She was knocked out, in only one hit. Emilia was one of the most powerful mages in the Wald Manor, so surely she would’ve survived at least three punches. But clearly, that did not happen.

“ One hit... He knocked her out in one hit... Is this guy really that powerful?! ”

“ Thanks, kid. I’ve just been finding food today. I really do owe you one. I’ll eat you very gently, unlike I did with the maid. What was her name again? Rum? Rom? Meh, it doesn’t matter. ”

“ I bel~ieve th~e gir~~l you are re~ferring to wa~s named “Rem”. I shall g~et ve~ngeance for her. ”

Justice knew that Rem’s death wasn’t the only reason Roswaal wanted to kill Gouto. Perhaps the two of them and Beatrice go way back.

Nevertheless, Justice needed somewhere to hide, so that he won’t affected by the sheer destructive battle between Roswaal and Gouto.

“ Mister Justice~ I wo~uld recomme~~nd hidin~g~ in t~he Ma~nsion. O~ur ba~~ttle isn’t goi~ng to be a~s pea~ceful as Misses Emilia and Gouto’s battle. ”

Justice gets up and runs as fast as he can into the Mansion. Gouto fires one of his tendrils at Justice, only for it to be cut by Roswaal’s wind magic.

“ I c~an’t h~~ave you h~u~r~t anymo~re people.~ ”

Roswaal says while looking very happy. He seemed to be eager to finally be able to destroy Gouto. But as Justice thought, Roswaal wasn’t planning to kill Gouto just for Rem’s death.

“ You’re still the same old Roswaal I know and love. You’ll do anything to secure yourself a better future. But I’ve decided that once I kill you, I’ll take the boy, and make him my betrothed. I’ve had too many good things happen to me because of him. ”

“ You’re not the same Gouto I knew. You’re absolutely disgusting. Talking about marrying a child. ”
