“There’s no problem. If I dispose of everyone here, no one will ever know the truth.” (Wilfred)
Wilfred raised his head and lifted the corner of his lips.
No, what is this guy saying? In a situation where it’s already five against three, how does he plan to eliminate us?
“Give up. You’re already… checkmated…” (Harold)
“Hahaha… What are you talking about? Do you think we only have three people and that there’s no way we can win?” (Wilfred)
“What…?” (Harold)
I gave a puzzled expression to Wilfred’s words.
“I didn’t come here unprepared, on a whim, to eliminate you. I am here today to… finish everything…” (Wilfred)
“Prepared, huh…” (Harold)
He’s saying grandiose things, but I know it’s just going to end in failure. Wilfred dances to his own tune, truly a clown.
“It should be soon… Alright! Show yourself!” (Wilfred)
Wilfred shouted towards the darkness at the end of the passage. But…
“…Hey, what’s going on! Why aren’t you showing yourself?” (Wilfred)
“Hey, Wilfred, are you alright? We’re the only ones here.” (Harold)
I shrugged and provoked Wilfred, showing his growing frustration.
Even so… I knew he had been preparing for this very moment to ambush us in this location. After all, this dead-end here in the dungeon is the perfect spot to set up an ambush.
If I were to think the same way, I would definitely plan an ambush here too.
At that moment…
“Heh… Did you really think I was waiting for these maggots?” (Alexandra)
“!” (Harold/Wilfred)
My Xandra appeared with her usual sapphire eyes turned blood-red while dragging the dismembered Warren.
This is strange… I should have asked Xandra to stop before going too far, so how did this happen?
“…That man conspired with Frederica and said he would ‘discipline’ Milady and Her Highness Lizette.” (Monica)
“!” (Harold)
The chilling whisper in my ear from Monica made my heart suddenly freeze.
So, he tried to ‘discipline’ my Xandra… huh? Ridiculous.
“Ha, Haru-sama, I have eliminated everyone who tried to harm you up to this point, but… as you ordered, I didn’t kill anyone.” (Alexandra)
She was probably expecting to be scolded for going overboard. Xandra, looking anxiously at my expression, explained softly.
“Yeah, thank you. I know you’ll be fine, but I’m just really glad you’re safe.” (Haru)
“Ah… yes!” (Alexandra)
After I said some words of encouragement, Xandra gave a beaming smile, her eyes turning back to sapphire.
I’m so relieved that she’s back to her usual self.
“Good grief… What a hassle. Xandra goes berserk so easily, and then I get stuck dealing with her.” (Lizette)
“Liz.” (Harold)
Beside Liz, who sighed and smiled wryly, Frederica was trembling, her shoulders shaking as she looked down.
She must have witnessed Xandra’s true strength… and now she’s completely terrified. She’s an idiot for running to Wilfred instead of Cardis.
“So, that’s how it is. Your plan has failed completely.” (Harold)
“Impossible… How did this happen… I have spent so much time preparing for today…” (Wilfred)
“I don’t know. But I knew you would try something with this year’s end exam, and even then, I believed that if it was my ‘important people’, we could easily overcome it.” (Harold)
Xandra and Monica’s abilities are nothing compared to the characters from ‘Enhaz’, and Liz, Christia, and Carla are some of the strongest among the heroines. Liliana is the protagonist from ‘Galhaz’. I know and trust all of them more than anyone.
“So, what’s next? Of course, no matter what you’ve prepared, we’ll crush it all.” (Haru)
“Heh… How absurd. You, who tried to have Haru-sama killed without getting your hands dirty, and tried to brainwash the Saint, are too pathetic to even talk about.” (Alexandra)
Xandra and I looked at Wilfred, showing mocking smiles.
Who would have imagined that this guy is supposed to be the protagonist of “Engage Hazard”? In the game scenario, the protagonist was always putting himself at risk for the heroines, somewhat unaware and passive. But the real him is full of ambition and vanity, the worst kind of man who disrespects the heroines.
…Now that I think about it, the protagonist in ‘Enhaz’ wasn’t aiming to be the next king from the start. He progressed through the heroines’ stories, overcoming various incidents and hardships, and ultimately decided to become king only because he had to save them from their misfortunes.
Thinking about it, Wilfred’s actions are completely off. No way is this anything close to Enhaz’s story.
“…Wilfred, how about I give you a chance?” (Haru)
“!” (Wilfred)
With those words, Wilfred suddenly looked up.
“Let’s duel again here. If you win, I’ll let this whole incident go.” (Haru)
“!? Haru-sama!” (Alexandra)
Xandra’s eyes widened, and she turned to me, gripping my hand tightly. She couldn’t believe it, though Wilfred would be doomed if handed over to the guards.
But… sorry, just indulge me a little in my selfishness.
“However, if I win, you’ll tell me everything you know. Why are you so obsessed with becoming the next king? Why does the King support you? And… the true identity of the man behind you, ‘Ulysses.'” (Harold)
