Episode 26: I gave you a chance

"I heard you abducted and are taking advantage of the third princess of the Villas Empire!"

“………… Huh?”

"It's no use trying to hide it, the evidence is right there!"

Fabrice points to Aleria full of confidence.

"I haven't been abducted by Yuki! Rather, I was caught by a bandit about to be sold to the kingdom!"

"Hmph, Matsuzaki Yuki, you’ve trained her well."

I don't know where the idea came from, but they seem to believe I abducted Aleria.

"The person herself denies it. Did you eat something weird?"

I've heard that delusional habits worsen when you ingest magic mushrooms, cannabis, cocaine, or anything that acts on your mind.

"Aleria has been brainwashed! There is no evidence in what the brainwashed person says!"

This guy is no good.

"... So, who sent you? By whose order did you come to capture Aleria?"

"Hmph, hear and be amazed. It's the king's direct orders. Our merciful king says that if you hand over the Aleria Villas, he will gracefully, pardon your crime in this matter."

"I see. Then take her. I welcome you."

"What are you talking about Yuki!?"

Aleria was surprised to hear me say that.

Just being clear, I'm not really going to hand over Aleria.

I can't trust the kingdom, neither can I trust the braves who are the dogs of the kingdom.

However, my 'crime’ will be pardoned There’s no way I wouldn’t use this.

It’ll certainly be a hassle if I’m branded a criminal, false accusation or not.

Oh dear--

"If Aleria resists, It’s not my fault."

"... I see, I've got it! Yuki, leave it to me!"

It seems she's read my intentions.

Beat up the braves trying to capture you and come back to me—that's what I meant.

It would have been difficult for her a while ago, but now they can’t even be her opponent.

They’ll find it difficult to even stay alive if she seriously attacks.

But the braves don't know this yet.

As a beautiful girl swordsman, Aleria was known for her beauty, not her strength.

The brave men overlook her too easily.

"If Matsuzaki Yuki doesn't get in the way, no matter how much you resist, it's useless! Surround her!"

"Hey Fabrice"

"What? Catan"

"Are you sending all of us for just one girl?"

"Is there a problem?"

"No problem, but you can't even take one kid alone."

" Of course I can! Hey, I know you just want to skip. If you're not motivated, stand aside. I’ll do it alone!"

Fabrice steps away from his companions and points his golden sword at Aleria.

"Okay princess, if you don't want to hurt, just get caught quickly!"

He was first to attack.

Aleria uses "physical strengthening" and engages him.

Klang!

Sword and sword collide, and it becomes a contest of strength.

In a simple power game, the difference between men and women is large and in terms of height difference, higher is more advantageous.

He’ll lose at this rate—of course I mean Fabrice.

"What! I’m being pushed back !?"

Well, just because you have the physical advantage doesn't mean you’ll win.

I didn't feel I could beat a female pro wrestler before reincarnating.

"Don't look down on me!"

Aleria swung her sword up and struck Fabrics' sword.

"Haah"

klang!

Fabrice's sword flies through the air and falls to the ground.

The sword pierces into the hard ground.

Fabrice tries to get the sword back but Aleria doesn't give him a chance.

"Do you still want to go? If you don't want to get hurt, I advise you to withdraw quietly."

Aleria's sword is thrust onto Fabrice’s neck.

If you want to, you can always lose your head.

Fabrice sweated cold and stood still.

"... Damn it! Why is it like this !?"

He suddenly starts to get upset.

"I thought I only need to mind Matsuzaki Yuki! Why is this woman also a monster !?"

"So what do you want to do? Do you still want to take me after having your ass handed?"

Fabrice turns blue and moves backward with a jerk.

"... Shit!"

This guy is quite funny?

He may be excellent as a laughter causing machine.

"Oi, what happened to clearing my name?"

"When did I say that! Where’s your proof?"

"You’re pretending to forget?"

"So what! I'm a fucking bastard who breaks my promise! But you can’t kill me! if you do, you'll be guilty of murdering a brave man! "

"It seems that you've gained some wit. Well, it's probably someone else's."

"Did you understand! I win!"

"But Fabrice ... you seem to be fundamentally misunderstanding something. I can always aim for the king if I wanted to. With the king's voice, all my sins will disappear. At that time, Who can stop me? Well, I don't want to do such a brute-like thing though. "

Sweat covers Fabrice's forehead.

“………… No, I remember everything now! I'm sorry, It just slipped my mind!  I'll do it! I'll do it soon, so don’t miss it!”
