“Whoaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Guha!? I-I’ll absorb you……!”
“!”
I stabbed the Aiatsubus and took a sudden dive.
I was going to slam her into the ground, but because of the angle and momentum I had, it was headed for the wall of the castle. She tried to wrap something black, not blood, around me from the wound, but I charged straight at her.
I was going to smash her, but my momentum was too much and I smashed through the wall and plunged into the castle.
“W-What is it!?”
“Ah! Lars! And Aiatubus!?”
I can hear Fath-san and Makina’s voices in the distance, but I didn’t pay attention to them and stitch Aiatsubus’ right hand to the floor. In the meantime, the black haze tried to cling to my body, but it did not stick to my body.
“Gaha ……!? W-Why can’t I absorb you ……!? And this sword …… dragon’s blessing ……!? Don’t tell me, that breastplate too!?”
“I don’t know if there’s a blessing, but my gear is made from dragon claws and fangs.”
“Gyaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?”
She screamed as I swung out the sword I had stuck in her right arm and severed it. A black haze from her right hand makes a swooshing sound and soars up into the air as if it were just leaking, without any intention.
This would be the end of Aiatsubus, because even if she tries to do something, she would not be able to move because she was entangled in Sephiro’s branches.
“Lars!”
“Oh, Makina. I think I’ve managed to finish …… this one. How about this one?”
“That’s ……”
And when Makina turned her head in a certain direction, there was a large man with a body like a prisoner standing there covered in blood.
And when I saw the figure slashing the big man, I opened my eyes and shouted out loud.
“Y-You are, Retzel!? I knew you were alive, but why are you here!?”
“What? Lars, do you know that man?”
“When we fought the bandaged man in Oriola territory, I told you who tried to kill my brother, didn’t I?”
When I said that, Makina huffed, put her hand over her mouth and said.
“I remember now ……! That’s the name of the bandaged man from the Treant fiasco! Ahhhh, h-how could I not have noticed that ……”
“Well, it was quite a while ago, so it can’t be helped. I forgot about it too!”
“I don’t know if you should say it so clearly, though ……. Oh, no, we have to stop that guy first! Everybody take care of this guy.”
“Hmm. I think Dibit’s coming down too, I’ll leave it to him.”
I looked up and saw the empty wall, nodded, and immediately used my transfer magic to step out beside Retzel, grabbing his hand with the scalpel to stop him.
“Stop it, Retzel!”
“Whoa, Lars-kun …… It seems you’ve defeated the Aiatsubus?”
He glanced at the fallen Aiatsubus behind me, and the edge of his mouth curved up. I continued, thinking that the smirk on his face was still the same.
“Forget about that, why are you here!”
“Oh, I came after you because I had some business with you. I’m almost done, so please wait a moment.”
He then shook off my hand and I hurriedly stopped Retzel, who was about to slash at the big man.
“I told you to stop! He’s already a wreck!”
“Fuh …… I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t get in my way ……? This man is Geiri, the former king of Sandiola. A hundred years ago, he killed the second son, who had the same [Jack-of-all-Trades] like you.”
“What ……!?”
I turn to face the big man, and he, called Geiri, swings his sword at us. I and Retzel jumped away from each other, then he opened his mouth, glaring at me.
“Guh …… I lost too much blood. So you have the same Jack-of-all-Trades as Pluto ……”
“Mine is [Super Jack-of-all-Trades] though. I knew you were royalty, but I didn’t know you were Sandiola.”
“Yes. And since Geiri is Pluto’s brother, he’s a living witness.”
“What!? That was a hundred years ago, right? Even if he was alive, he couldn’t have been this young ……”
As I was wondering, Geiri attacked me!
“[Jack-of-all-Trades] …… What an abominable skill, I’m going to kill you here ……!”
“Why did you ……!?”
I catch Geiri’s blow with my Sargeblade and repel it back. I stepped back, but Geiri was still charging at me.
“Good grief, let’s just get the ‘Wise Man’s Soul’ out of him and be done with it.”
“!? The ‘Wise Man’s Soul’, you say!? You ……!”
Retzel laughs as he grabs his new scalpel and says something like that. But if that’s the case, I can’t let Retzel kill him. It seems that he has a grudge against [Jack-of-all-Trades] …… so I want to ask him why he did it.
“I don’t want to kill anyone, Retzel. If you say that you want to kill him, I’ll take you down first.”
“…… Kuku, you’re so naive, like always. Well, okay. This attitude towards Lars-kun. I’m also curious as to why you did what you did to Pluto.”
……? Didn’t he just say something funny ……?
“Die, kid. ……!”
“I won’t let you! Taaah!”
“Muohh!? Not yet!”
Geiri came at me with his broken sword sticking out, and when I avoided it, he hit me with his free arm this time. I played it off with my auto-protection and Geiri gave me a shocked look.
“I’m sorry, but that’s not enough to take me down. !”
“Guh, Uoooooooooh ……! I, I can’t move!?”
“Geiri-sama!? Damn you, you little bastard ……!”
“Why don’t you shut up since we’re at the good part?”
“Gugyah!?”
The fat man came running, but the female nurse who was with Retzel, I think it was Irumi? A soldier in Sandiora detains her when she catches his leg and rolls him over.
“Kuku …… Now that we have the ringleader of the reverse coup, I guess this whole mess is over.”
“Retzel, what do you know about this? If you’re a member of the Gospel’s Descent, shouldn’t you go and help Aiatsubus? And what do you want from me? What are you up to?”
“You have a lot of questions. Well, let’s wait until things settle down, there seem to be a lot of injured.”
“……”
As I silently turned my attention to Retzel, I heard a voice behind me.
“Retzel …… why don’t you help me ……! Are you trying to defy Apollos-sama ……!”
“Oh, Aiatsubus-san, aren’t you misunderstanding something? I’m not a member, but I’m not Apollos’ subordinate, you know? Besides, you have a big name like the Chief Priests. Please do something about that at least.”
“You ……!”
Retzel laughs at the sight of Aiatsubus suffering. What does this guy really want for coming to see me ……?
I realize that I’ve been so busy that I haven’t even written an afterword.
Thank you for reading!

“I’m so tired ……”
That should be my line, you know ……!?
“Anyway …… the first volume of the book is now on sale! (Japanese only)”

“Guha!? I-I’ll absorb you……!”
