“Xandra, Monica. The enemy is likely assassins bearing the Scorpius title.” (Harold)
“No, Your Highness Harold. Based on the presences I detected, there are at least seven of them.” (Monica)
“I see.” (Harold)
So, the enemy planned to send everyone from the Zodiac Twelve, except for the “Big Three”, to take us down. If that’s the case, we’ll just crush them all.
“Monica! Tell me the precise location of the enemies! Xandra, wait behind me! When I give the signal, finish them all at once!” (Harold)
“Your Highness Harold, there are three directly in front of us. However, this is a decoy. The real ones are…” (Monica)
Next to my face, Monica pointed out the location of the true enemy. That place was… directly beneath us.
“Xandra!” (Harold)
“Yes!” (Alexandra)
“Gyaaa!?” (??)
When Xandra stabbed the Balmung into the ground, a scream rang out. When she pulled the sword out, blood oozed out from the ground.
“Next. Two on each side. One directly above… No, I’ve already taken care of that one.” (Monica)
While I was raising my shield against the two enemies on the left, a man foaming red from the mouth fell to the ground beside me with a thud.
“Cas!” (Harold)
“Leave it to me! Snatch!” (Cass)
“Guh!?” (??)
“Ugh…” (??)
A giant claw-like illusion tore through the two enemies’ bodies.
One writhed in pain, rolling across the ground, while the other… it seemed the instant death effect activated, stealing his very life.
“Ah…” (??)
While I was dealing with the enemies on the left, Xandra had already slashed horizontally through the two attacking from the right.
“Only three remain.” (Harold)
“No, just one.” (Monica)
At some point, Monica had slipped behind the three enemies directly in front of us and severed the heads of two.
“Harold-sama, what should we do with this one?” (Monica)
“Alright, let’s finish him.” (Harold)
“Understood.” (Monica)
Monica, who had been covering the remaining enemy’s mouth, slit his throat with a dagger.
There is an option to keep him alive and gather information about the ‘Engage Hazard’, but I already have all the knowledge regarding that. So, there is no need to keep him alive. Above all else… they didn’t just target me, they also aimed for the two most important people in my life as well. I’m not generous enough to let such people go free.
“Well then, let’s move on. To show the rest of them the depths of hell.” (Harold)
“Fufu… Yes.” (Alexandra)
Taking Xandra’s hand, I spoke. She raised the corner of her lips into a crescent-shaped smile. After all, she felt the same as I did.

“W-wait! We were only hired to do this!” (??)
Having stormed into the assassination guild’s hideout, we took down the assassins of the ‘Zodiac Twelve’ one after another. Riding that momentum, we killed two of the remaining three, the ones known as ‘Sagittarius’ and ‘Leo.’
The last one, ‘Aries’, was now begging for his life before us.
“Hired, you say? That’s an interesting claim. You ‘Zodiac Twelve’ swore absolute loyalty to your master and were organized as assassins. Lying poorly won’t do you any good… unless you don’t care what happens to your master.” (Harold)
“Ugh…” (Aries)
My words silenced the ‘Aries’ assassin.
Yes… This assassination guild known as the ‘Zodiac Twelve’ was established 20 years ago for a single person. To eliminate all who stood as enemies of that person and to bring a life of peace.
“Do you think such an act is something Your Highness Harold could do?” (Monica)
“I can. That’s because that is no longer my ‘precious someone’.” (Harold)
The Harold of ‘Enhaz’ likely wouldn’t have done something like this, and their master probably wouldn’t have targeted Harold in the first place. However the Harold whose mind is my own, Haru Tachibana, shares the same memories and emotions, yet our personalities are fundamentally different. Therefore… even if my heart aches and feels like it will burst, I will cut away anything for the sake of my ‘precious someone’.
“That’s why, pretending to beg for your life is useless. Once you’re gone, next will be that person. Regret trying to come after us in the afterlife.” (Harold)
“P-please wait! I don’t care what happens to my life! But please, have mercy on her, on the Princess!” (Aries)
Desperately pressing his forehead to the ground in supplication, the ‘Aries’ assassin’s head was severed by Monica at my signal.
“Haru-sama, next is…” (Alexandra)
“Yes. It’s that person, of course.” (Harold)
In the main storyline of ‘Enhaz’, during one scenario titled ‘Cardis’s Feud,’ the protagonist Wilfred and his heroine companions defeated all the assassins of the ‘Zodiac Twelve’. Afterward, upon learning of these events, Cardis reconciled with the protagonist to prevent further conflict. Ultimately, the master of the ‘Zodiac Twelve’ was persuaded by Cardis, ceasing all future harm toward the protagonist.
However…
“I will not choose the path of ‘reconciliation.’ So, regret it well… Mother… no, Margaret Weir Dehaubalz.” (Harold)
