Year 1399 of the Imperial calendar - Shouyo continent - White Coliseum
(Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel POV)
Both participants clash down in the arena.
"I told you he would win" Ifrit Atisse Aelius
The foreign noble lady at the seat next to me speaks while crossing her arms.
"The Graupel dukedom will always be thankful for your aid" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel
The butler steps on his opponent, securing his victory.
"I couldn't care less for nobility" Ifrit Atisse Aelius
Huh?
"Then why would you...?" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel
She interrupts me standing up.
"I just fulfilled an old promise, nothing else" Ifrit Atisse Aelius
She starts walking away to my left as I hear the sound of a group of people walking here from my right.
"Hi, Sui!" ???
That annoying voice can only belong to one person.
"Lady Maine Ehrenfest, don't speak to me if you do not have the manners necessary to do it" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel
The saintess monopolizes the aisle to the seats with her male partners behind her side.
"I see you are still the same small-minded lady as before" Lutz Foschurose Dusoleil
I stand up and salute the prince of the kingdom by lowering my head and grabbing the sides of my skirt.
"Glory to the little sun of the kingdom" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel
Outside the academy, this is an absolute rule.
"What a boring woman" ???
A young man with silver hair, closed eyes, and the symbol of the vase on the shoulder of his white jacket shares his opinion of me.
"Benno, that is..." Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel
"Noble etiquette is just for uncharming cunning ladies like you" ???
"Maine is different from all nobles, she is a good person" ???
Two more male followers speak about their preferences, a red-haired Vine symbol holder and a blue-haired Sword symbol holder.
"Gil, Sylvester!" Maine Ehrenfest
The saintess calls their attention.
"We arent here to be mean!" Maine Ehrenfest
There is someone else behind her.
"Sis..." ???
His dog ears and brown fur aren't something I remember, but I still remember his face.
"Shinku!" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel
He is alright!
But that on his neck is...
"Be graceful, the saintess somehow knew where to find him" Lutz Foschurose Dusoleil
A slave collar.
"What did you do to him?!" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel
My manners disappear.
"It was the only way to bring him back here to the city" Maine Ehrenfest
She...!
"You make him into a slave just to have him at your side?!" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel
She steps back a little.
"It was necessary for the plot, to save the city from the demons!" Maine Ehrenfest
She is talking about that strange Plot again.
"Shinku, come here!" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel
"..." Shinku
He gets behind the pink-haired girl.
"Shinku?" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel
"I would like to be at her side..." Shinku
At... her side?
"..." Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel
I will not allow my brother to be at the side of that crazy degenerate bitch!
"GET HERE RIGHT NOW!" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel
I raise my voice, scaring Shinku.
"I knew this was a bad idea" Heir to the Vase Duchy
"What were we expecting from the villainess" Heir to the Vine Duchy
"...come, you don't need to be here" Heir to the Sword Duchy
The blue-haired man begins to drag my brother towards the stairs that lead to the exit.
"I..." Shinku
"Wait...!" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel
Then a red gust flashes in front of me.
"?" Sword heir
And steals the child from the man.
"Lady Ifrit?" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel
Looks like she broke the heels of her shoes in that sprint.
"This is annoying to see" Ifrit Atisse Aelius
She grabs the slave collar and breaks it apart with sheer brute force.
"!" Vine heir
"How did you manage that?!" Vase heir
That collar was an artifact, It was supposed to be indestructible!
"Lady?" Shinku
He looks confused at the lady in the red dress.
"Sleep" Ifrit Atisse Aelius
She puts her hand on his head, and my brother loses consciousness.
"Who is this character? She wasent in the game" Maine Ehrenfest
The angered heir takes out his sword.
"How dare you deny the saintess act of kindness" Sword heir
He was probably trying to scare her, but she didn't take it that way.
"Shut up" Ifrit Atisse Aelius
Her punch breaks the sword and his face in one go.
"Ugh!!" Sword heir
His disfigured face spits blood all over his way to the other side aisle.
"Kyaaaa!!!" Maine Ehrenfest
The other male followers begin to move on alert.
"Small flies" Ifrit Atisse Aelius
A burst of flames erupts from her hand, leaving all threats out of combat.
"..." Maine Ehrenfest
The saintess goes into silence for a moment, but something ominous can be felt in the air.
"?" Suigintou Arnestianne Graupel
The sleeping body of Shinku lands on my arms.
"Take him out of here" Ifrit Atisse Aelius
Feeling something dangerous is about to start I start walking towards the exit.
"ENOUGH!" Maine Ehrenfest
The voice of the Saintess penetrates my body and forces me to kneel.
"Don't you dare lay a hand on my new family" Maine Ehrenfest
I turn my head to see the Saintess's eyes shining as if all the mana in the world was concentrated in them.
