Rely on Precious People More than Anyone Else

“If that’s the case, then it wasn’t really necessary for us to be together, was it?” (Lizette)

After parting with Florencia, I arrived at the terrace in the academy courtyard, where Liz asked me that question.

“No, it’s important that you’re all with me. Now they will clearly recognize who we are.” (Harold)

“What do you mean?” (Lizette)

“Based on Florencia’s explanation, sorcery allows for attacks from a remote location. But in order to do that, they need to obtain a part of the target’s body.” (Harold)

“Y-yes, that’s right.” (Lizette)

“So, in order to attack us, Lucio’s people will have to approach to get hair or nails.” (Harold)

Since we’ve already entered Florencia’s route in Enhaz Second, it’s safe to assume that Lucio is already hiding somewhere within the kingdom. Otherwise, the scenario wouldn’t progress. Also, I was present at the scene where she was attacked by a curse, and afterward, I made contact like this and even assigned Laila as her guard. With that, he must have clearly identified us as enemies.

“Setting myself aside, Christia-san uses holy attribute magic. You are the one most capable of countering curses. And Liz, who can use both fire and dark attributes, you also have purification-type magic, right?” (Harold)

“Oh my, you know quite a lot…” (Lizette)

I’m a heavy user of Enhaz. Of course I know. Liz has a skill called [Four Noble Truths], which can remove all debuffs except petrification. It consumes a significant amount of SP, but it works on the entire party, making it highly effective. As for Christia, there’s no need for explanation. There isn’t a single debuff in the world of Enhaz that she can’t dispel.

“…I’m really sorry for dragging you into this.” (Harold)

“Ufufu, please don’t apologize. We’re only here now because you helped us, Harold-san.” (Christia)

“That’s right. Besides, we’re comrades who defeated that Themis together, aren’t we?” (Lizette)

“Both of you…” (Harold)

Even though they’ve been dragged into unnecessary trouble because of me, and their lives are in danger, Christia and Liz still offer their help as if it’s nothing. I must repay this debt someday.

“By the way… we’re fine, but what about that?” (Lizette)

“Huh…?” (Harold)

When I followed Liz’s gaze…

Xandra, her eyes dyed blood-red, and Monica, scowling in extreme displeasure, were glaring at us from the shadow of the school building.

“S-so, that’s how it is…” (Harold)

After parting with Christia and Liz, I was immediately abducted by Xandra and Monica. Now, I was sitting in seiza in Xandra’s room, being stared down coldly by the two of them. I tried to explain that I deliberately kept my distance so Lucio wouldn’t recognize them as enemies and that the situation put them at a disadvantage. But they didn’t accept it at all. Not even a little bit.

“I don’t care if he’s a ‘sorcerer’ or whatever. I’ll eliminate him before he can cast a curse.” (Alexandra)

“There’s no way anyone could take a part of my body. I always clean thoroughly, not leaving even a single strand of hair.” (Monica)

“R-right, of course…” (Harold)

Not wanting to be blamed any further, I nodded along like a broken doll. Right now, I just have to focus on getting through this situation.

“Pukusukusu. You may call yourselves wife and personal maid, but you are no match for me, Master’s one and only tool…” (Laila)

“You’ve got some nerve. Step outside right now.” (Alexandra)

“I, Monica, am well-versed in the disposal of oversized trash.” (Monica)

“Wait!” (Harold)

I hurriedly stepped between the two and Laila.

Of all things, Laila went and provoked them… Please, stop it already.

“T-the reason I asked Laila was exactly because she is treated like a tool and thus wouldn’t be targeted by the curse. As for Christia and Liz, they both have ways to lift any curse placed on them. But—” (Harold)

“…I understand.” (Alexandra)

“As long as we know what he looks like, there’s no way we would fall behind. But we cannot deliver our blades to that Lucio.” (Monica)

Saying that, Xandra and Monica bit their lips in frustration. Even so…

“Ah…” (Alexandra/Monica)

“Still, I believe it is your role to bring an end to the fight with Lucio. So… please lend me your strength.” (Harold)

Taking both their hands, I pleaded with them.

Yes, this approach is all to protect us from unexpected attacks by Lucio, but when it comes to a direct confrontation, it’s Xandra and Monica who will bring the fight to a close.

“Of course. No matter when or where, I will always be with you, Haru-sama.” (Xandra)

“I, Monica Ashton, shall always be by my lord’s side.” (Monica)

The misunderstanding faded from their eyes, and they accepted my request.

Whew, thank goodness… Wait.

“Haru… what about me?” (Casparleague)

“Of course, I’m counting on you too, partner.” (Harold)

Cradling Cas, who looked at me anxiously, I responded with a smile.
