Breaking Off The Engagement… Bring It On! Chapter 69

A letter from mother

We managed to join up and returned to the mansion.
In the carriage, Ange-sama wanted to hear the story of when me and Allen-kun were alone, but it would be troublesome to talk about it here, so I've decided to relax and do it when we reached the mansion.
Well, aside from talking with Ange-sama and Sana, I also have to report to my father.
Perhaps Rachel-sama has said something.

When we arrived at the mansion, I asked Sebastian about father and learned he'll be late today.
For now, I've asked Sebastian to make time for me to talk to father, even if he's late.

… And so.
Right now I'll be talking about today's events with Ange-sama and Sana.

Easily-broken items on a table… None!
Fragile items nearby… None!

I told Sana to wait with preparing the tea until the end of the story.
It was a strange request, but she obediently listened.
Because thinking of how tableware was broken each time, this time I made sure to prevent it.

Then, let's begin.

Snap!
… Ah~~, I wonder, this table was quite old, huh?

I've never thought the table itself would become a victim.
It seems the power of the two was higher than expected.

"Lillinoneesama! It's not too late yet! Let's annihilate those ninja. An intelligence force that possesses erroneous information is a disgrace to the country. They're in this country, there's no problem with judging them here. To tail Lillinoneesama and spit abuse at her… They should disappear."

Sca, scary Ange-sama.
But, she's angry for my sake.

"Lillinsama, I agree with Ange-sama. To say such a thing without knowing anything about Lillinsama… Please leave it to me! I will kill them without fail!"

Yo, you don't have to kill them!
Moreover, if a mistake happens, the day I say 'Okay' the two of them will quickly go on a rampage.
Of course Allen-kun will gladly folliow.
Please don't even joke about it.

"Um, both of you, I'm fine. Because Allen-kun got angry for my sake, I'm not particularly irritated."

However in response to my words, Ange-sama turned towards Allen-kun.

"Allen! Why didn't you stop that ninja from saying it! If it's you, you could have killed him?"

"I wanted to! But… would Lillinsama like that? I don't care about a life of a ninja, but I can't do such a thing if it burdened Lillinsama's heart."

… Allen-kun, you've thought that much on the spot.
That's right, if Allen-kun kicked at full power, he'd be dead.

"Everyone, thanks. I'm very happy everybody thinks so seriously of me. But this time I asked Dan-sensei, so it's alright. But if such things happen in the future, I will get mad as expected."

With Hanzou-san as a guardian of those three, they won't get involved anymore.
Dan-sensei should also give a warning this time.

When we finally started drinking tea, it became noisy outside.
Did somebody come?
When Sana tried to go check situation, somebody knocked on the door and entered immediately.

It's my brother and father who entered.
Brother, you certainly knocked, but you can't open at the same time.
I had such carefree thoughts, but brother and father seemed impatient.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Father responded in panic.

"It, it's serious! A letter arrived from Liza a while ago, and it seems there's a considerable damage caused by a ma.s.sive demon outbreak in our territory. The letter said she wants Lillina and others to return immediately."

Huh! A lot of demons?!
It must be quite a dire situation to bother with a letter?

"I understand. Let's get ready and head to the territory."

"I'm counting on you. Then I'll report to His Majesty and ask to send chivalric order. It's just the number of knights who can fight demons is limited. Of course, Ricardo will also go."

Such a thing hasn't happened until now.
Why did so many demons suddenly appear?
Certainly, Leon-sama has been investigating the cause a while ago, but it was too vague.

But there's no time to ponder about it now.
While I was talking to father, Sana, Ange-sama, and Allen-kun all started preparing.
Everyone is dependable.

It's fine.
I have my brother, reliable friends are with me as well.
We won't lose to demons.

We hurriedly prepared and left the mansion on the same day.
Brother will follow later with the best knights of the order.
We impatiently headed to the territory.
