The Engagement Was Broken Off and I Became a Munchkin

Episode 18 Obviously Wrong (5)

Ezebet asks, “What do you think?” With a mischievous smile.

What are you thinking about?

“What do you think? I’m serious?”

“… Seriously. What do you think?”

Answering questions with questions, playfully twisting the corners of his eyes.

From an objective point of view, it is quite destructive.

It is also true that Elizabeth was mentioned as a heroine in the original work.

He had no skills to speak of,

That beauty was one of the few in the academy where there are many especially beautiful looks.

I thought that if I had seen Erzebet in my previous life, he would have stuttered.

However, due to the experiences he had in this life, he was somewhat immune.

In another world, there is something called ‘heredity’ that is caused by an inexplicable cause,

The appearance and talent of the Taranhilt family is one of them.

Yuliana Julis Even my mother, the Marquis of Enteria, were beauties I would never have met, let alone talk to, if I had been in my previous life.

My inner strength was too strong to be seduced by Elizabeth’s beauty.

“I don’t know. Ambiguous.”

I admit it’s beautiful, but it’s not a bit of a drag to be dragged around because of that beauty.

“If you think so, then so be it.”

“?”

What do you mean?

The other day, we met by chance while trying to get a uniform before the entrance ceremony, and even then, he said something meaningful.

As it turned out, it led to an unexpected action on the day of the entrance ceremony.

Contrary to your appearance or way of speaking, are you more 4D than you think?

I don’t know.

I reserve judgment for now.

More than that.

Since when did Elizabeth know that I am the Master?

“Since when did you know? Didn’t I tell you that I’m the Master?”

“She thought from the day of the entrance ceremony that she might be like that. And haven’t we met briefly while getting our uniforms tailored?”

After her entrance ceremony, she stayed at the mansion that Isabella had rented for her and met Erzebet, who was passing by when she took Julia to get her body measurements.

She was caught up in her little quarrel at the time, and with a little help from her, she was able to save her trouble.

She decided to express her gratitude even now.

“At that time, I was so distracted that I couldn’t even say thank you. Thank you. It saved me a lot of hassle.”

“What? It really was nothing. Anyway, my escort driver tipped me off that day. I can’t see victory.”

“Ah. That… The brown-haired knight?”

“Yes, my escort driver. My name is Hans.”

He is a memorable man with brown hair and a particularly ordinary appearance.

He was a skilled player who reached the end of the first level, and I remembered how he stiffened up as soon as he saw me.

I got a sense of what had happened.

That knight named Hans must have guessed that I was the Master and tipped off to Elizabeth.

“And what I am sure of is that the president came to the mansion a while ago and spoke to me privately. He told me to help you so you don’t get caught up in a fuss.”

“Aha.”

I guess this is what Isabella said she was up to.

But there are no secrets in this world.

If the princess guessed, it would be sooner or later that she would become known to the emperor.

I wondered if rumors would spread.

Isabella… Well, wouldn’t you think that spreading rumors about being a Master and actually announcing it officially are two different problems? She

I thought she also agreed with some.

Even objectively, the master is in a very great position.

There are only 5 Masters officially listed in the Empire.

Two of the dogs are in Jedo, and one of the dogs was also the current emperor’s teacher.

Even now, every year the emperor personally goes to greet him on his birthday.

So if I let them know that I am the master,

I wonder if love calls will be sent not only from the empire but also from other countries.

Are you trying to form a marriage alliance… You might be able to appease them by giving them an advantage.

Of course, I don’t hate such things, but behind the advantages that can be obtained, there are also disadvantages.

As Isabella said, there was no law preventing poisoning or attacks against my family.

In short, it should be said that there is a first-half, but I plan to make myself known in the right way at the right time. If you were born as a man, you should have a good reputation.

Even in the midst of that, the sparring between Rossi and Ruina was getting fiercer.

Both of them looked bloody looking as if they were going to eat each other.

‘Roshi is scary when angry too?’

Ezebet’s gaze also followed me towards the two of them.

You seem to find it quite interesting.

“Who do you think will win?”

“Rosh will win.”

“Why do you think so? It seems to me that Ruina is slightly ahead.”

That’s right.

But I’m going to intervene, so Rossi will win.

“It’s just a feeling.”

That’s the point here.

To let ‘Ruina’ know that I intervened.

At the same time, I plan to do it secretly so that only she knows. Manipulating sparring was, needless to say, something to be criticized.

That’s the expected result…

Well, Louisa’s prestige will fall to the ground. A lot of cadets will think, ‘He’s only good for that!’

“It didn’t really matter who won, but… If you are, then I will cheer for the brown-haired woman.”

And. Now.

Ruina, who had been pushing hard, took a moment to catch her breath, but Rossi hit and came out, and the offense and defense were switched again.

As expected, Ruina seems to have the upper hand.

‘Now is the battle.’

I quietly raise the mana I have stored in the sub-dimension.

At the same time, another curtain was placed on the inside of the curtain that had been covering Elizabeth and me.

This time, it was a barrier that cut off between Elizabeth and me.

‘I didn’t notice.’

Because I was quite careful this time, Elizabeth is watching the sparring without noticing my strange behavior.

Wooooo.

My mana fluctuates in a blocked space.

While mana is circulating along the circuit, it enters the ‘Master’s Time’.

One second is dozens. No, it is broken into hundreds.

In that slowed down world, I shoot a single thread to Ruina.

Magic power contains determination. An intention of ‘I will kill you’. In fact, even that could cause harm, but that was not the intention of the magic I had just blown.

They said they had no intention of hurting Ruina.

‘It’s for attention.’

And at the same time that the magic touches you,

Awkward—.

Ruina trembled and turned her head towards her.

Because it was a very slow world, even the slightest change in her expression could be captured.

Our eyes met.

“… !”

Horror. Embarrassment. Astonished

These are the eyes filled with such emotions.

Because they reacted to my will, they are forced to be conscious of me.

With the level difference between her and me, this wasn’t difficult.

I leisurely admire her Louis Na’s expression and release another thread of magical power.

This time’s intention is slightly different from the first one.

Magic action for purposes that exert direct effects.

Her eyes met Louis, looking at me and slightly raising one corner of her mouth.

Thinking that maybe her appearance might seem mean to her,

‘Stop. Dance.’

Makes the shape of the mouth.

My magic entangles her sword path.

Roshi’s attack from top to bottom.

The sword she extended to stop it came to a sudden stop.

And the result.

Pogagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagaga-.

With the world slowing down, even the sound is heard.

It was a non-lethal sword that was thrust into the head, but there was no way he could survive being hit by a sword he wielded with all his might.

Rossi quickly digs into Louisa’s arms, her body hardened by her shock, and mercilessly strikes her stomach.

Peruk-. Pooh-. Pooh-.

Ruina was blown away by the impact.

In the meantime, I return the magical power I raised.

It was to avoid suspicion of manipulating the Dalian match.

“… !”

I took a look around.

Erzebet is looking at me and tilting her head.

“Maybe… “

“Maybe?”

“Hmm. No. It must have been an illusion.”

I shook my head at my expression of knowing nothing.

Looks like you didn’t notice much of the help I just gave you.

I then looked around and saw surprise in the pupils’ eyes.

“What is it? Are you distracted during sparring? It’s really ridiculous.”

Rosie was muttering as she approached the fainting Ruina.

I just fainted.

Keep your hair down. It was because I was blown away by the stomach strike and even kicked.

“I think we need to move to the infirmary.”

It’s just as Elizabeth, who was watching, said.

Even if it’s not a serious injury, it’s not very good because it allowed a critical hit to a highly trained knight.

I manipulated couples, but no one noticed.

Even Rossi, the person in charge of her, feels that Ruina has caught her guard.

Ah, let me correct it.

The only one, Ruina, felt that I had blocked the flow of her magical power.

Because I meant it.

If you at least know my skills, I won’t bother you in the future.

That’s the most important thing.
