“W-What the hell is these guys ……!? Gah?”

“Next, second guy from the right, and when you’re done, attack the guy in front of you with the gap on the right side of his body.”

“Take that.”

“R, Run …… Gyah ……!?”

One-sided.

If a third party saw this, they probably describe this as such, a tragedy has spread. When the other party tried to approach, Basleigh muttered, and at the same time Himmel moved his hand, and immediately the men’s chests and heads were blown off and blood sprayed. Without getting close enough.

“Bastard!”

“Whoa there, I won’t let you mess with my little sister.”

“You’re the one who’s doing this! How the hell are you attacking ……!”

The two of them were always on the move, and when Albatross finally caught up with him and swung his big sword at Himmel, Himmel caught it with his single-edged sword, then from the side, Basleigh thrusts her dagger at the Albatross’ throat. He kicked Himmel out of the way, breaking out in a cold sweat at her movements with no hesitation, and soon after, another one of them collapsed, bleeding from the chest. 

“Gu …… shit ……!?”

“This is six people. It’s going to be over soon.”

Albatross felt a chill run down his spine as Basleigh chuckled. He asked them questions, his face contorted.

“You’ve obviously changed your attitude since you found out we’re from the Gospel’s Descent, haven’t you? The name is well known, but not many people know what we really are. Sure, we’re all over the place, but do you really have to be so relentless?”

“It’s not a bad thing to be remembered as an organization that ‘ostensibly’ rescues lost children. But I have my own reasons for not forgiving you.”

“Well, you have a lot of followers in the public eye, and an organization that helps lost sheep in ‘public’, so you’re not badly received. However, I have my own reasons for not forgiving you.”

“Will you tell me what it is, my dear Basleigh-san?”

When Albatross said this, Basleigh smiled and replied.

“I don’t have the obligation to answer that♪ You won’t be able to do anything, say anything, and you’ll just disappear. Brother, right, in the rear.”

“Guah……!?”

“Zavvi!　Tsk, oh yeah! But it bought us some time.”

The ring on the thumb of his right hand begins to glow dully as Albatross shouts with a click of his tongue. Immediately afterwards, Qliphoth, Giant Bee, and the rampaging boar appeared around Basleigh and Himmel.

“I don’t want to kill you, but we don’t have the time. I don’t know how they’re attacking, but, everyone, quickly start attacking them!”

“Uooohhhhhhhh!”

“Does that ring control the monsters? We don’t have much time either. So we have to kill them all before Lars-kun and the others get here.”

“You’ll lose all our information, you know?”

“Don’t worry, we just need to get Sonia-san to tell us. [Fatal wound]”

Basleigh threw the dagger she had in her hand at a nearby Qliphoth, stopping it the moment it struck. She can also make it possible to make her opponent instantly incapable of action if she uses it seriously because it detects their weaknesses.

Incidentally, reading their behavior itself is not a skill, but rather a result of Basleigh’s observational eye, which is how she successfully threw a projectile from the sky when Luciel was kidnapped.

He was surprised that the Qliphoth was killed by a single blow, but he came out strong by calling the monsters.

“‘Do it all at once while the monsters are attacking!”

“Leave it to me, the brother will have to die as a memorial to my friends.”

“Oops, my skills are hard to use at close range, you know? I’ll use my magic. !”

“This is nothing!”

“Hey, hey, you’re missing the back of your head! Don’t think you can stop me with a boar and a giant bee!”

“Where’d you get that hammer from!? These guys don’t even flinch! Take them all at once!”

With their backs to each other, Basleigh and Himmel turn and use their [Fatal wounds] to defeat the monsters and the humans of the Clan with a single blow. 

They used fire magic to fight against the Qliphoths and giant bees, while the boars and humans were hit with heavy blows from Basleigh’s one-handed but large hammer.

“Damn it! I’ve brought all the best people with me, but how can they deal with them so easily!”

“I can’t do it by yourself, though. It’s because big brother is here–“

As Basleigh was talking, she dodged a man’s sword and slammed a hammer into his side, when Albatross came at her from the side with the side of the large sword.

“Basleeeeigh!”

“Oops! Albatross-san, right? I am grateful that you have fallen in love with me, but you picked the wrong person. Of course, there is the title of minister, and there is the interest of the country, but there is absolutely no way that I will take part because you’re from the “Gospel’s Descent”.”

“You sure move a lot …… Attack!”

“Ho-ho-ho! I’ll leave it to you, big brother!”

“Yeah!”

When Albatross calls out, a giant bee attacks, but Himmel, who is right behind her, sweeps it away with a fire arrow. Albatross grits his teeth as he slashes at Himmel.

“So you’re the key to the attack, then let’s start with you!”

“Hmm, you should have figured that out sooner? …… It’s too late.”

“What ……?”

Himmel deflects the Albatross’ slash with his sword, and the moment he steps, Himmel turns his back and blasts him away with a kick. 

As he fell forward, he looked at Himmel and Basleigh, who understood what he was saying, and Albatross shouted to his companions.

“Run! Their aim is to take us out of their sights–“

“Gyaaaaaaaah!?”

“H-Hiiii!?”

But he didn’t get to finish his sentence and saw his friends fall helplessly, their heads turning red. Every time Himmel moved his hand, one by one, they would fall to the ground. Even monsters are absolutely not an exception too.

“Impossible!? They dealt with us this easily ……!?”

When Albatross regains his bearings and lets out a cry of astonishment, Basleigh opens her mouth to Albatross with a huge smile on her face.

“It was a bad match. It’s true that your movements are not bad and you’re strong. But you are so naive. You have underestimated the two of us. Did you see us as easy targets just because you can call monsters? Kuku ……”

“Y-You–“

“Ohhh, that’s right, Didn’t you ask me why I see the Gospel’s Descent as an enemy? Well, it’s the last time anyway, isn’t it? I’ll tell you. In fact, I’m not a person from the Reflexion Kingdom.”

“Then–“

“Shh. I’m still talking, you know?”

Basleigh throws a dagger at Albatross and it pierces into a nearby tree. As Albatross gulps, Basleigh continues.

“I’m from the country of Everlide.”

“……!?”

“Yes, yes, I wanted to see that reaction from your face. Do you understand? …… the country you destroyed behind the scenes with the Berias Kingdom.”

“So there’s a survivor ……!”

“I guess so. At that time, it was the Reflexion Kingdom that acted secretly to rescue refugees like us. And that’s why Berias, that knows about it, will send someone like you to destroy this country.”

“I see, so that’s why the Founder persistently ……”

Albatross broke out in a cold sweat and his face twisted. If this woman was a survivor, this treatment of them was, as she said, understandable.

“In the Oriola territory, Lars-kun interfered with me, but I won’t let you get away this time. Good night, forever.”

“Wait–“

He was about to speak up, but at that moment, Albatross’ vision turned red and his consciousness was snuffed out.

I’m about to have a manuscript, so it’s going to be one chapter a day ……

Thank you for reading!

[Afterword Theater]

“Basleigh …… what horrible child ……!”

This is her true power ……!?

‘About half of it is thanks to big brother, though.’

“Something appeared!?”
