The Event Boss Has Appeared

“Haru-saaan!” (Liliana)
Jumping up and down cheerfully and waving from the rear of the robed group was—
“Liliana!?” (Harold)
It was none other than my comrade and the protagonist of Engage Hazard Girls Side, Liliana Abbot.
So, how did she end up here!?
“Wait a second! I’ll be there right away!” (Liliana)
Liliana started knocking the robed figures one by one, as if swiping away twigs, sending them flying. Her face and demeanor might look pure and cute, like a typical heroine, but what she was doing was pure violence. Solving everything through force, she looked like a warlord from the end of the world.
“I’ve come!” (Liliana)
“Whoa…” (Harold)
As Liliana shyly approached me, I instinctively took a step back.
As always, this carnivorous heroine is overwhelmingly powerful. After all, she possesses the all-ability-boosting skill that only the protagonist heroine has, [Braveheart].
“So, why are you on the main street?” (Harold)
“Ugh, you see, today’s the festival at the shopping district on Main Street. And that means there are lots of meat stalls!” (Liliana)
“Ah, I see…” (Harold)
In other words, Liliana was here for the meat, and we just happened to run into each other by chance.
It’s no surprise that she’s where the meat is, so I should have thought a bit more carefully about where to lure her.
“So, what’s the deal with these people? You’ve been attacking them quite a bit.” (Liliana)
“Ah, yeah. They’re foolish people who came to attack us.” (Harold)
I could explain everything about Florencia, but it would be better to handle this situation first. Liliana probably wouldn’t be interested, but since she’s already involved, I guess it’s fine.
Then…
“Oi.” (Harold)
“Guh…!?” (Robed Figure)
After restraining the entire group of robed figures and bringing them to the royal guards’ barracks, I kicked one of the robed men in the stomach.
Since they tried to harm my precious people, I have no mercy.
“Tell me. Who gave the order to attack us?” (Harold)
“…” (Robed Figure)
He had been twisting his body several times, likely trying to activate something to kill himself. For some reason, that attempt had failed, and he was now at a loss.
“I’ll tell you now, all the curses you had on you while being brought here have been lifted.” (Harold)
“““““!?””””” (Robed Figures)
As expected. They reacted so obviously. Of course, I had Christia use [Aegis’s Shield] to prevent the curses that Lucio or the robed figures had placed on themselves from killing them. Since it’s the strongest holy-element magic, even an event boss’s curse wouldn’t work.
“Answer quickly. Who gave the order to attack us?” (Harold)
“U…!” (Robed Figure)
I asked in a low voice, but the robed man merely groaned and still didn’t try to talk.
“Florencia-san. Is there any curse that would make these people talk?” (Harold)
“W-Well…” (Florencia)
“Is there?” (Harold)
“!? Y-Yes, there is!” (Florencia)
After I asked again, Florencia stood at attention and answered. At this point, I couldn’t afford to worry about her feelings anymore.
“Then, please. Put a curse on them to make them speak about who they are, where they came from, why they attacked us, and… where Lucio is.” (Harold)
“I-I understand… [Brainwash].” (Florencia)
It seems Florencia realized that I wasn’t going to back down, so she cast the curse on the robed figures.
“I’ll ask again. Who ordered you to attack us?” (Harold)
“A… u… Lucio-sama…” (Robed Figure)
“So, you’re Lucio’s subordinates, huh?” (Harold)
“Y-Yes…” (Robed Figure)
“It looks like they’re from Lucio.” (Harold)
The one listening alongside me, General Drake, glared at the robed man with an angry expression. With that intense killing intent, normally, the man would probably have pissed himself, but unfortunately, the man was under Florencia’s curse and had his mind controlled, so he didn’t react.
“Now, what about Lucio’s characteristics?” (Harold)
“His… hair color… is silver… so… you can tell… right away…” (Robed Figure)
“Silver, huh? That’s certainly rare.” (Harold)
“Elliott! Immediately have the royal guards search everywhere for him!” (General Drake)
“Understood!” (Coleman)
The deputy commander, Sir Coleman, saluted and quickly gave instructions to the guards.
But… I’m sure they won’t be able to catch him.
“Prince Harold, what will you do now?” (Drake)
“It’s simple. I’ll send these people and Lucio back to Istantia. Of course, as a thank you for underestimating Dehaubalz…” (Harold)
“Indeed.” (General Drake)
Since they caused this kind of trouble in the capital, there’s no way we’ll let them get away with it. They’ll have to pay the price for not being able to manage their subordinates.
“Well then, is that all?” (Harold)
“Leave it to me! I’ll restrain them and throw them in the dungeon where they can’t do anything!” (Drake)
“Thanks.” (Harold)
I left the robed figures to General Drake, and we headed back to the dormitory.
And then…
“Well, I was expecting this.” (Harold)
That night, in the courtyard of the dormitory, the man with silver eyes, Lucio, appeared before me as I sat on a bench, and I lifted the corners of my mouth.
