The Incompetent Bratty Prince is out (4/4 chapters)
Apparently, The Compatibility Between Our Items and the New Heroine Isn’t Ideal

“Hehe, I’m happy that you’re relying on me, Harold-san.” (Christia)
“Heh, I’ll help, even though it’s troublesome.” (Lizette)
I decided to have my dependable “important ones,” the “Saint” Christia and the “Villainess” Liz, help me out.
Furthermore, Christia, who is a practitioner of the Holy attribute magic, is a perfect match against Lucio. Liz, who can use both Fire and Dark attributes, would surely play a crucial role as well.
“By the way, Evil attribute… I had heard of its existence, but I never imagined that there would be someone who wields it at the Royal Academy.” (Christia)
As she said this, Christia’s eyes sharpened.
Perhaps she has some personal thoughts on the Evil attribute…
“Well, that’s fine. So, that Florencia, right? We just need to burn alive the fool who’s trying to curse her, right?” (Lizette)
In true “Villainess” fashion, Liz smirked, curling her lips.
I suppose, in Enhaz, the heroines don’t hesitate when it comes to things like this.
“No, no. We need to capture those who targeted Florencia while keeping them alive and present them to the Istania Kingdom.” (Harold)
According to Themis, clearing Florencia’s route involves defeating the event boss and bringing him to the Istania Kingdom, which will lead to the Sol family being eradicated and Florencia no longer being targeted. In other words, if things don’t go as planned, Florencia might end up being targeted again.
“That’s why, we’ll leave them just barely alive and formally present them to the Istania Kingdom.” (Harold)
“I understand.” (Christia)
“If that’s the case, I have no objections.” (Lizette)
Both Christia and Liz nodded to my words. Although I was a bit worried if they truly understood, I decided to trust them for now.
“Well then, let’s head to where Florencia is.” (Harold)
“Yes… But, aren’t Xandra-san and Monica-san coming with us?” (Christia)
Christia peered at my face and asked hesitantly.
It would be better if they came, but for this particular situation, I can’t bring them along. After all, the enemy’s attacks could reach Xandra and Monica’s throats.
“…For this time, my shield can’t block it. There’s no one else who can counter it other than you two.” (Harold)
“The responsibility is great…” (Lizette)
Taking my hand, Liz murmured softly.
The truth is, I don’t want to put them in danger, and I would have preferred to handle this without asking for their help. The strength I gained to protect my “important ones” should be enough, but it feels frustrating that I can’t use it when it counts…
“Christia-san? Liz?” (Harold)
“Please don’t make that face. Harold-san has always protected us, after all.” (Christia)
“Hehe, that’s right. Don’t forget, we’re here because you saved us.” (Lizette)
Christia and Liz said this with a wry smile.
It seems like they’re trying to comfort me, so I’ll gladly accept it.
“Yeah. But, if it’s an attack other than curses, I’ll protect everything as I always have.” (Harold)
“Yes.” (Christia)
“I’m counting on you.” (Lizette)
And so, we headed toward the classroom where Florencia was.
—
“Ha-wa-wa-wa!?” (Florencia)
“You won’t escape.” (Laila)
…Why are Florencia and Laila playing tag? No, I specifically asked Laila to guard Florencia until we arrived, so she should have been keeping an eye on her. Yet, it looks like Laila is the one targeting Florencia now.
“Laila.” (Harold)
“Master, I’ve been waiting.” (Laila)
As soon as I called out, Laila stopped chasing Florencia, seemingly uninterested in her, and came to me, curtsying respectfully.
“So, what exactly are you doing?” (Harold)
“I was trying to tell that Dark Elf about Master’s greatness, but for some reason, she ran away, so I was chasing her.” (Laila)
“I… see…” (Harold)
Knowing Laila, she probably tried to force Florencia to listen to her. She wouldn’t hesitate to resort to physical means if necessary. It’s nice that she looks up to me as her master, but she’s still a few screws… no, three screws short. On the other hand, Florencia is still visibly flustered. I can relate, though. If a girl suddenly came at me so aggressively like this, I’d be terrified too. More than anything…
“…It seems like you haven’t told her the most important things yet.” (Harold)
“My apologies.” (Laila)
Seeing Laila bow deeply in apology, I couldn’t help but press my temple.
“Well, well. Anyway, introduce her to me.” (Harold)
“Oh, right.” (Laila)
So, I calmed Florencia down, introduced her to the two of them, and explained the situation they were in.
“Ha… The Sol Household is behind all this…?” (Florencia)
“Yeah. So, until this issue is resolved, I’ll have Laila protect you.” (Harold)
The moment I said that, Florencia made a face that clearly showed how much she disliked it. But for her own safety, I had no choice but to make her comply.
“I want to wrap this up quickly, so I’d like you to cooperate, Florencia. Especially, I need you to tell me everything you know about Lucio Pujol Sol.” (Harold)
“Y-Yes, I understand.” (Florencia)
And so, Florencia began to talk about the event boss Lucio.
