The Second Battle with the Protagonist has Begun

“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)
I suspect that the reason why this person is no longer the protagonist involves King Eibar, and a man named “Ulysses.” Especially Ulysses, who freely provides UR weapons and rare items to both Prince Jean, the crown prince of Capetian Kingdom who was Liz’s older brother, and this guy. He must be plotting something.
…No, those two are probably the ones who have caused this world of ‘Enhaz’ to spiral out of control.
“So, what do you say? If you refuse my offer, the only thing left for you will be ruin. Even His Majesty the King won’t be able to protect you this time.” (Harold)
“Heh, that’s right. If this is left unresolved… the Holy Kingdom of Baltian will call upon all the nations of the world and erase the Dehaubalz Kingdom from the map.” (Christia)
Thankfully, Christia assisted me.
Well, considering that the Saintess, the symbol of the Holy Kingdom, was put in danger, the Holy Kingdom will likely do something like that.
“You don’t need to overthink it. All you have to do is defeat me.” (Harold)
I’ve set everything up until this point. Your only option now is to defeat me.
“…Understood.” (Wilfred)
“That means…” (Harold)
“Yeah. Harold… I’ll defeat you. No, I’ll slaughter you. However, the condition you mentioned earlier must be fulfilled.” (Wilfred)
“I understand.” (Harold)
Seriously, I’m the one who made the concession, and yet he’s acting all high and mighty. Well… the promise probably won’t be kept anyway. That’s because I’m going to win.
“Then, how about we follow the same rules as last year? Feel free to use as many weapons as you want.” (Harold)
“Yeah, I’ll do that. I can’t afford to lose.” (Wilfred)
Without any hint of embarrassment, Wilfred pulls out weapon after weapon.
But, where on earth has he been keeping all these weapons? …Wait.
“Hey, that’s…” (Harold)
“Don’t call it unfair now. All the weapons and items I’ve acquired are stored in my ‘Inventory’.” (Wilfred)
Ah, right. Since he’s the protagonist, it wouldn’t be odd for him to have an ‘Inventory’, right? In any case, this means he can freely use weapons and items.
“Marion, give me your ‘Battle Axe Skydrive’ over here.” (Wilfred)
Wilfred extends his right hand towards Marion, who has been silently standing by at the edge of the corridor.
It seems like he’s truly going all out to defeat me.
But then…
“…I refuse.” (Marion)
“What!? What did you say?!” (Wilfred)
Unexpectedly, Marion clearly rejects him. Wilfred raises his voice in surprise at the betrayal.
Yeah, I’m shocked too. At the very least, it’s clear that Marion has a ‘romantic relationship’ with Wilfred. Given the high affection between them, there’s no way she would betray the protagonist like this.
“I’ll make it clear. I have had no involvement in this matter. So, if I were to hand you my weapon, I would be considered an accomplice.” (Marion)
Ah, I see. Indeed, Marion has never actively attacked or interfered with us, unlike Wilfred and the others. This includes battles with the two-headed beast Orthros and the Nine-Headed Snake Hydra.
“Marion! You…” (Wilfred)
“What is it? Didn’t Lady Lalanore say to me? ‘A fallen noble, being kept by Wil-sama for his mercy’. Then, I no longer need that mercy.” (Marion)
Lalanore yells at Marion, her face red, but Marion turned her face away, unfazed. Seeing her attitude, I finally understood.
This is the heroine’s ‘jealous state’. In ‘Enhaz’, regular conversations (chat style) with the heroine in a ‘romantic state’ are required. Otherwise, she may get sulky. If that happens, the protagonist must repeat conversations or give gifts to maintain the relationship, or else it will break down, and the heroine can no longer be used.
I also ended up buying a lot of tickets to maintain these ‘romantic states’ for too many heroines, and my part-time wages disappeared in no time… (distant look). Well, in the end, it’s Wilfred’s fault that this situation has arisen. It’s truly his own doing.
“Ah, I see… Even though she was the first dedicated maid who served you, you’ve treated her with such disdain. It’s only natural she betrays you.” (Harold)
“Shut up! That woman was useless to me from the start! Marion! I never want to see your face again! Disappear now!” (Wilfred)
“…Understood.” (Marion)
Upon hearing Wilfred’s words, Marion clenches her lips and bows. Even though she had done so much, she ended up in such a pitiful state.
“Hey, are we done with this farce? I’d like to start already.” (Harold)
“Tsk! I don’t need you to tell me!” (Wilfred)
Wilfred takes up the ‘Heroic Greatsword Caletvwlch’ and assumes a stance, his eyes burning with rage. Such collateral damage.
“Cas, I leave it to you!” (Harold)
“Hehe, leave it to me! I’ll definitely protect you, Haru!” (Casparleague)
“Yeah. You’ll protect me for sure.” (Harold)
I exchange words with my partner, Cas… the Jet Black Shield Casparleague.
Now, with my partner’s morale high, there’s no way we’re losing.
“Come on… bring it on!” (Harold)
With that single phrase, the second duel between me and Wilfred began.
