Master’s Smile

Episode 115: Settlement of the Duel

Oh! Apparently, this duel is Litter's victory.

Inside the arena stood Teldorf, who looked like he was full of creativity, and a litter who seemed to be able to afford it.

"Mi, mil...? You, how did you get here...?

Teldorf was looking up at me and this kid in a dazed manner, despite the fact that there was a litter in front of him who was trying to take exactly his life right now.

Heh. Is this kid named Mill?

"Father!!

Again, Mill's voice clings.

I guess I'm worried about my father, who looks tired.

It's going to rush out now.

And I felt the same way.

Litter had cuts on his cheeks, though he didn't seem to suffer from major injuries.

Even though the girl's face is very important...... All the more so if you think that's my daughter!

Besides, Litter seems to be showing some of the demons as well.

To the boulder, the opponent is Teldorf, the Knights of the Kingdom. I couldn't seem to win without using my wife's hand.

Ku......! Demons are an abominable legacy for Ritter. That's why I used it, so her mental fatigue would be immeasurable.

Oh! That's the limit! Come on, I want to give that girl a hug!

I thought so. I lifted Mill and flew. [M]

And then we go down inside the arena.

"Father!!

Mill came right off me and ran toward Teldorf.

Imagine her like that, and I try to walk to Ritter too...

"Master"

Soon he was embraced by the litter that appeared in front of me.

He hugs me and pushes my head around.

is, fast......

Her transformed left arm was back to its original beautiful arm.

You must have cared about me.

Well, if you get hugged with that rigidity, it's going to be bi-fold off your spine, me.

Nevertheless, you've often been able to control and fight the power of the devil! Boulder, it's my daughter!

"... yeah"

I stroke her head and praise her for her hard work. [M]

Litter dyed her cheeks shyly and accepted it.

No, I really grew up! From me, who knows her past, I can't help but guess how hard it is to use the power of the devil possessed by herself.

Today, spoil the litter full of eyes!

"You! outsiders would have forbidden us to come to this place!? Why are you coming in here!!

When I couldn't tire of just Litter's head tickling my throat and she started leaking her gobbly and cat-like voice, such anger flew.

When I saw what was going on, Prince Linz was staring at me like a ghost.

No, I don't care if they say that.

It's strange that Litter is fighting and I can't see it in person.

"My brother, too, would have called Vissen in first. You have no right to say anything about the Master."

"Ku......! Nina, how dare you do that to me............!!

Princess Nina, who sheltered me, sharpens Prince Linz.

If you look closely, next to him stood a skinny man, featuring glasses and white coats, laughing at Niyaniya.

Oh, sure he's the alchemist Ritter taught me.

... while I say that outsiders are off-limits from myself, is it Prince Linz who broke it first? I don't think so.

"But, brother. Are you sure this duel is my… litter win?

"Become...!?

Prince Linz peels his eyes at Princess Nina's words.

... Yeah, sounds like a litter win as far as I can tell.

Not if Teldorf is showing his willingness to fight...... now he was embracing Mill, who had rushed over and had become his father's face, not a knight.

This won't fight anymore......

"Teldorf!!

"... Prince. This battle is my loss. There's not a single more element you can win if you fight Litter."

"Hey, what are you weak about... Huh!!

Teldorf's clean words would also be uncomfortable for Prince Linz.

Well, this battle will determine the next king.

Prince Linz must have made this duel because he stepped on that he could definitely win, but if he were to lose as a result, he couldn't be king.

I guess that's why I can't accept defeat.

Prince Linz, who was sweating and had a hurried look on his face, laughs niggly when he sees Mill holding onto Teldorf.

"Teldorf...... Are you aware of your position? Your daughter there. You think you can live from this without my assistance?

".................. Huh!!

To Prince Linz's words, Teldorf devours his teeth.

Aid? Does that mean Teldorf's house is in such distress?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"Hmm. You wouldn't understand. Teldorf's daughter is invaded by a nasty curse. They say it's a new kind of curse. Nobody can treat that... On my orders, we're delaying progress to Vissen."

Prince Linz says so and laughs.

I guess it's true that Teldorf doesn't argue either.

Does this aid mean that Teldorf is on Prince Linz's faction?

Hmm, well. Then you don't have to be on that side anymore.

"... what do you mean?

Teldorf looks at me and asks.

No, because the curse I was nesting on Mill, I already decursed him.

"............ what?

Prince Linz and Teldorf are going to look at Pocan and me.

No, good. I didn't seem to have done anything extra, above all.

"Huh... Huh?

That calm, sedentary, tough looking Teldorf is changing his face as corny as it is funny.

Yeah... the character is collapsing...

"Ugh, lie! You can't possibly do that!? That is an incurable curse created by Vissen......!

"Uh, are you saying that now? Ihihihihihi."

"... what? Prince Linz. What did you just say?

Vissen laughs at Prince Linz's words and Teldorf is quietly angry.

That anger is so freaking me out too that it's not directed at me...

This would scare Prince Linz very much, being directed directly at him.

... or curse my nearest daughter, what the hell is that all about?

"Vi, Vissen! What that guy is saying would be bullshit!?

Prince Linz rushes to check with Vissen, who fully pushes out his fright at the sight of Teldorf.

But Vissen shook his neck sideways with a nigga laugh about what was funny.

"No. Somehow, my curse is definitely broken. Yihihihihi! A man powerful enough to decurse my curse, in return for Mr. Ritter's demonic possession. You have a lot of unknowns eh!!

"Well, if you're saying that!? No way, really..."

It wouldn't be that surprising.

It was also a curse to such an extent that it could be easily processed, because it was not as malignant as the curse of Ragel.

"Apparently, it's true that the master broke the curse that was placed on the mill. Then there's no reason to lend you a hand at the earliest, Prince Linz."

"Ko, this...!!

"If it's true, I want to slash it with my hands. But you are the first prince of the kingdom of Evan, bent over. I'll miss you. Leave."

He was Prince Linz trying to say it back to Teldorf, but with his sharp eyes he couldn't say a word.

Teldorf also seems quite angry that his beloved daughter cursed him.

If he stays on the field, he could really kill Prince Linz.

Prince Linz, who figured it out, walked out shaking his body with anger.

"... don't think you can keep doing this."

"... after all, my brother is not worthy of a king"

And at the end of the day, unlike Princess Nina, she leaves something to say.

I didn't hear it from here, but Princess Nina didn't break her fortitude look either.

Teldorf approached me as I took Mill after Prince Linz pulled Vissen away.

And he bowed his head deeply toward me and Litter.

"I got Mill to help me, and I don't have a word of thanks. I have turned my sword against such a gracious lord and litter. I want you to punish me."

I waved in panic. [M]

No, no, it just so happens that I was helped by Mir, and if the curse was something stronger, I might not have been able to help either.

Besides, I know from the assessment from Princess Nina and the words she just said, Teldorf has also disliked following Prince Linz's orders.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't have anything to think about because they're after my life.

Well, I'm a little upset that she hurt Litter, but she doesn't seem to have suffered any notable injuries, and I wouldn't say anything if she'd let me.

What do you say, Litter?

…………

Litter looked troubled with hmm.

Well, I got a scratch on my face. Though not enough to leave marks, it's no surprise you're thinking of something Teldorf.

"............ fine, nothing (I can't forgive you for trying to harm the master.... but he says the master is good, and fine)"

But the gentle litter seemed to forgive Teldorf.

What a good kid I grew up with......! Father, I'm glad......!

"Sorry......! I will definitely return this favor...!

Teldorf shivers his shoulders too.

Yeah, yeah, give it back to Ritter someday, okay?

Looking beside Chirali, Princess Nina, who was in the audience, was also coming this way.

Okay, so what if I go home?

"Ugh..."

Litter's voice is somewhat unclear when you're thinking about such a relaxing thing.

When I looked at you anxiously, I saw her fluttering and disfiguring.

Ri, Ri Ri Litter!? What's wrong with you?

I rushed over and took my body gently to avoid any adverse effects on her.

"Duh, what's up!?

Princess Nina also rushes over.

It was like I was a fierce werewolf like Crankheight, but soon I knew what was causing it.

"... because of me, or"

No, it's not Teldorf.

Perhaps my body couldn't follow me because I used the power of the unfamiliar demon.

I need to put the litter to rest now......

I see Chirali and Princess Nina.

With all that mighty power, the power of the devil should be repelled in this kingdom, where angelism is the dominant religion.

Princess Nina won't let Ritter into her own mansion... that can happen.

... Well, let's go back to Alliance headquarters and put him to rest then.

Of course, if that happens, I will let the request be discarded.

"What are you doing, Master? Let's get Ritter to the Mansion!

But Princess Nina blew my evil push like that all at once.

... Oh, Ritter found a good boss, didn't he?

I'll help you as much as I can with Princess Nina.

That's how I decided to lift the litter.
