The Incompetent Bratty Prince is out (1/4 chapters)
Assault of First Queen’s Dedicated Maid
Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)
“This is unusual… to see a woman in a maid outfit walking around in a place like this.” (Harold)
“Indeed. It seems that person’s… memory span is limited to one month.” (Alexandra)
Xandra and I shrugged our shoulders as we looked at the braided woman in the maid outfit… the exclusive maid of Margaret.
However, at the very least, that exclusive maid does not appear in Engage Hazard. Which means…
“Xandra, Monica, there’s no way you two could lose, and I’ll absolutely protect you, but still, it’s better to stay cautious.” (Harold)
Xandra and Monica are overwhelmingly stronger than the protagonists and heroines of Enhaz.
Then again, the strength of that dedicated maid, who is also no more than a mob character, could be unpredictable. Irregular beings like this are troublesome.
“Stop.” (Harold)
“…” (Maid)
When I said that, the dedicated maid stopped in her tracks. Her expression didn’t change as she simply stared at us. In the meantime, Liz, Christia, and Monica stood up and took defensive positions beside me. From our stance, it seemed she recognized that we considered her an enemy.
“So… what are you doing walking around alone in a place like this? Surely, you’re not out for a stroll after leaving your master Margaret’s side?” (Harold)
“…” (Maid)
I threw in some sarcasm to gauge her reaction, but there was no change in the maid’s expression.
Well, I already knew she wasn’t just an ordinary maid.
“That means you’ve got business with me… but unfortunately, I have none with you. If you turn around and leave immediately, I’ll overlook it just this once.” (Harold)
Hmm… no response even to threats. Is there a reason she absolutely cannot back down, or is this an expression of her confidence that she can take us all down? I’m not sure.
“…Your Highness Harold, something is approaching. It’s probably a fairly large magical beast.” (Monica)
“Ah, I see. Cas.” (Harold)
“Understood.” (Casparleague)
As expected of Monica, she sensed it immediately.
Could it be that this maid is acting so boldly because of the presence of that magical beast…?
— Clang!
“Whoa, that was sudden.” (Harold)
“You managed to block that attack…?” (Maid)
The dedicated maid closed the distance in an instant without a sound and struck the Jet Black Shield Casparleague that I deployed, then leaped back immediately. She held kukri knives in both hands.
“It seems Margaret values her life little this time. And you feel the same way.” (Harold)
“…Margaret-sama has nothing to do with this. This is my own decision.” (Maid)
“! Incoming!” (Harold)
I raised my shield to confront the dedicated maid. At that moment—
“Your Highness Harold! Below you!” (Monica)
“Tsk!” (Harold)
At Monica’s shout, I leapt back with all my might.
“Skreeeeeeeeech!” (??)
From the ground where I had been standing moments ago, a giant centipede-like magical beast burst forth.
This is… the raid boss from the summer-limited horror event in Enhaz, Fairgeltungsvaffe! Why does its name have to be such a tongue twister!?
“Everyone! A prolonged fight with this beast will put us at a disadvantage! Its main attack method is the pincers on its head, so stay calm and handle it!” (Harold)
“Understood!” (Everyone)
Following my instructions, not only Xandra and Monica but also Carla, wielding the Dragon Slaying Sword Ascalon, launched their attacks on Fairgeltungsvaffe, or rather, the centipede.
Let’s just call it that.
“Hmph! Just a lowly insect, I’ll incinerate it! Infernal Flame!” (Lizette)
“Master… please grant us your blessing. Barrier of Light! Divine Rebirth!” (Christia)
Not to be outdone, Liz unleashed her attack skills, and Christia cast protective walls and auto-healing magic on everyone.
Xandra and Monica aside, with Carla, one of the heroines with the highest attack power in Enhaz, Liz, a master of combined fire and dark attribute magic, and Christia, possessing the best healing and support skills among all heroines, isn’t this just a ridiculously strong party? With this, it seems the centipede can be handled by those three. In that case…
“You shouldn’t underestimate my precious allies. So, is your trump card just that centipede magical beast?” (Harold)
Though I provoked her, the one I’m most wary of is this maid.
The reason is simple. Skilled mobs who aren’t part of Enhaz’s cast are dangerous. I need to draw her attention to keep her focused on me. Until the others take down the centipede.
“…Why do you seek a quick resolution in your fight against Fairgeltungsvaffe?” (Maid)
“It’s obvious. The longer it drags on, the more dangerous it becomes.” (Harold)
“…I see.” (Maid)
Crossing her kukri knives, the dedicated maid inhaled deeply—
“Shah!” (Maid)
She closed in on me in a single breath and unleashed a flurry of strikes with her kukri knives.
Fast, but still slower than Xandra or Monica… or so I thought!?
“Ugh!” (Harold)
“You even dodged that…” (Maid)
The blades of her kukri knives suddenly shifted trajectory and aimed for my legs.
I dodged at the last second, but these unpredictable movements are troublesome…
“…Excuse me. It seems I underestimated the ‘incompetent bratty prince.’” (Maid)
“Thank you for the compliment. But I have no intention of forgiving you.” (Harold)
Well then… judging by her tone, it seems she’s been holding back until now. I don’t know how deep her strength runs, but I’ll just keep defending against her attacks… Hahaha!
“!?” (Maid)
“Oh? Done with the emotionless act?” (Monica)
Before anyone realized, Monica had gotten behind the maid, gracefully curtseying while holding a dagger.
