The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power

29 – Friction – 2

As if Earl Esthal didn’t expect an answer, he called a man at the party.

He was a rather large man. He’s not as short as I am, but he’s one head taller than me, and he’s similar to the Balonde I saw the other day, in terms of size.

But his actual skills will easily surpass him.

“Did you call, Count?”

It was a serious voice. As he approached, everyone around him panicked and started shouting.

“Kirden…!”

“Why is Kirden here?!”

Kirden? Who is it?

I looked at Lucy and she bit her lip and explained it to me.

“Kirden Owen … He was awarded the title of ‘Master’ by the Knights Division of the Academy. He is strong enough to serve as an instructor right away…”

Just as there are titles of sage and great sage in the Ministry of Magic, in the Ministry of Knights, when you have a certain level of skill, you get the title of ‘Master’.

After explaining that she can only challenge for the title of Sword Saint, Lucy grabbed me and said worriedly.

“Are you all right? Even now…”

“Yes. It’s fine.”

Master. Then I can use the sword as a basic. While I was returning the gift box to Lucy, the Count looked at me and smiled as if he had heard the explanation.

“Such an ordinary guy as an escort. The Stein estate is also having a hard time! hahahaha! Miss Lucy Stein. Don’t worry! Even though I’m the Count’s knight, I’ll be sure to follow orders!”

There was a dark heart in the eyes of the guy who said that.

Well, Lucy is pretty.

“Anyway, I think it’s better to wear the armor properly.”

“Ha!! I don’t need armor!!”

He went outside after talking harshly. Smiling leisurely, Earl Esthal gestured to me. I nodded my head at his response to follow me.

Looking around, it seemed like something interesting had happened.

Her young ladies, especially her Lucy, who were full of her matrimonial age, were giggling at her as if she was in good shape.

That’s right. You don’t have a pretty face and you have a dirty personality!

I made eye contact with those who were laughing at Lucy, but their expressions seemed to ask me what to do. So, after giving them a smile, I went outside with Lucy.

There were already quite a few people gathered.

Seeing someone fall to the ground is quite enjoyable.

Especially if it’s a subordinate of a person who is no different from a public enemy.

Lucy doesn’t have a very good reputation in the social world. That’s why they were hoping that the me who came with her would also fall to her floor.

“Come on! Let’s give up the first attack!!”

“Ah. Before that. Can I activate the enchantment of the sword?”

“…Whatever. Whatever you want.”

As he spoke with a relaxed expression, I played the song I had recorded. A solemn chant echoes through the garden.

“…Is that an enchantment?”

“Isn’t music essential at times like this?”

“Pu-sup…!”

Laughter broke out among the onlookers. Hearing that, Carden’s mouth also smiled.

“Haa. I can’t believe this Carden Owen has to adapt to such a prank. The sin that made me draw my sword won’t end just by kneeling down and apologizing.”

After watching him with a smirk and a relaxed expression, I saw Count Esthtal.

“Can I see the blood on this?”

“I think it’s okay to decide between life and death… What do you think? Give up if you’re not confident. But if the escort is so cowardly, Miss Lucy, you’ll be anxious too. So I’d like Carden to entrust Miss Lucy’s full escort. .”

“…Thank you for your kind words…”

“You can’t do such a fun thing and not give it a reward.”

He says it’s a reward, but he’s saying this.

If I can’t beat Carden, I’ll put a strong man next to you.

As someone who could kidnap or kill you at any time.

Lucy wasn’t stupid enough to not understand the meaning, so he calmed the tension by slightly clenching his fists.

“hahahahaha! If you win, what do you want? I’ll take care of what I want.”

“I don’t really want anything. I’ll just take the money.”

“How much do you want?”

“I’m only taking half of the winnings… Half of the count’s fortune?”

“…You’d rather take my neck, though?”

“That wouldn’t be too bad either.”

The noisy place became quiet in an instant.

That’s right. I liked this atmosphere.

In the chilly atmosphere, only Earl Esthal was laughing.

“It’s kind of like talking about such a nasty story in a happy place. Life and death is a joke.”

“Well, you see. Then how about not seeing blood?”

“Let’s do that. Alright, then let’s begin.”

As soon as the order was given, he drew his sword. He’s a pretty good looking sword.

I smiled at him as I pulled the sword, and Carden, who stared at me for a moment, slowly began to approach me.

Come on. How would you like to catch this… Yeah. This would be better

I pushed the sword back into the scabbard. Then, after undoing the scabbard from her waist, she placed her hand on the hilt while holding it with her left hand.

“Ha! Iaha?! That’s not even funny!”

Isn’t it like that?

I narrowly avoided the sword that was being hurled at me and turned around. Then he fell lightly and hit his back with an elbow.

– Pug!!

“Oops! Sorry!”

“Lee, Lee Iik!!”

Hit on the back, Karden almost fell, but he managed to get into position. However, his face blushed as if he was ashamed that he allowed the blow.

hahahaha. Sorry about this

I’m thinking of playing with it some more.

“Haaa!!”

His sword aimed at my head. I said it wasn’t life or death, but I was aiming for his head. This is true

“Oops!”

I caught my leg on his leg, avoiding rolling off the floor. As he fell forward with the momentum of the slash, he gnashed his teeth and was about to get up, but I stood up and hooked the sword wrapped in the scabbard around his leg and twisted it.

“Ouch! My legs!!”

“Uhhhhh?! I didn’t mean to do this! hahahaha! Are you okay?!”

“Puhahahahaha! What the heck!”

“Is this a proper performance? It’s like watching drunken people play!”

I saw it correctly.

This is the best swordsmanship in the Yu (柔) system that can only be used when reaching the extreme of Heo Heo Sil as a drunk sword passed on to openness.

It’s the best swordsmanship, especially when it comes to pissing off opponents. It’s not like a swordsmanship, but the attack fails and the damage remains.

Look. That blushing face. It’ll just explode.

“Keugh…! Do it right!!”

“hahahaha. I’m sorry. I drank a glass of wine earlier and got drunk.”

“Ugh…”

Looking at Earl Estal’s expression, he seemed to be on the verge of exploding.

“…You bastard…!!”

Is it because I heard his growl? Carden even drew a sword skill.

“I will kill you!!”

They say it’s not a matter of life or death.

An enraged Carden lunged at me, and I took a small step as his attack reached its peak.

After lightly letting go of the sword, I used the recoil to turn my body and hit him in the face with the sword side of the drawn sword.

– Baaa!!

I smiled and approached him as he fell and wriggled at the attack that contained the trick of Leehwa grafting.

Perhaps it was thanks to a little effort at the end, it seems like I passed out in one shot.

“What is it? What is it?”

“What happened?”

“It looks like you blocked the attack and turned around and hit it with the sword?”

“But can you do that in one shot?”

“I must have got it wrong.”

“Wow. Lucky for you.”

“But you seem to have some skills?”

Hearing the nobles talk freely, I laughed, shoved my sword into the scabbard, and looked at Carden. I still can’t come to my senses.

“Wow~! Great skill! It was a piece of paper away! Especially the last attack was so powerful that it almost caused a big problem! hahahaha! But victory is victory, isn’t it? Let’s dedicate the glory of this victory to Lady Lucy. .”

“Ah. Uh. Yes.”

With her surprised face, she nodded her head slightly, and approached Count Esthal, who looked even more surprised.

“Stop!!”

The knights and soldiers around Count Estal moved. As they tried to stop me, I looked at Count Esthal and tapped my arm.

“Now, how about it? I wonder if this was fun enough…”

“…I see.”

I laughed at that remark admitting defeat and raised Carden, who had collapsed on the floor, and handed it over to the soldiers.

“You were truly a brave and wonderful knight! hahahahaha! With such a subordinate, the Count should be able to sleep in peace! You are only slightly weaker than me, so I will continue to protect Lady Lucy!!”

His expression distorted.

A. Why are you making faces like this?

I haven’t even started yet.

***

There is no such thing as a misogynist.

This is the result after calling so many people together.

This is something.

I wouldn’t have been angry if I had been defeated overwhelmingly.

Such a funny process and ending was enough for Carden to disgrace not only himself, but also the face of Count Estal, who was with him.

Eshtal, who was very angry, threw the papers on the desk and broke things to appease her anger.

“Heh… Heh… Heh… You damn bastards…”

It was pretending it was a coincidence, but Chunyoung was thoroughly fooling Carden.

That’s how strong he is, so his anger rises.

Black Alchemist. What kind of sh*t is this because of these motherf*ckers.

Didn’t I tell you that you can catch it if it’s a master class?

As expected, they are unbelievable.

While grinding his teeth, he thought that he should use his personal connections to summon the swordsman and deal with it.

“Oh. You corrected it. You made such a mess.”

If he hadn’t heard his voice, he would have contacted the swordsman right away.

Eshtal, startled by the sudden voice, turned away.

An open window. And a smiling man standing comfortably.

When the hell did you come in?

I didn’t even hear anything.

“…Muh, what’s going on?”

“Being a pacifist, I want to settle things in a peaceful way.”

Chunyoung grinned and grabbed the fountain pen that was rolling on the floor. Then he slowly pointed his sharp point at Estahl.

At that moment, strong pressure began to come to my heart.

“Ugh. Ugh… Ugh…”

It’s a much stronger pressure than when I was on the battlefield when I was young.

I feel more fear than having dozens of swords pointed at my neck, even though it was just the tip of a pen being pointed at.

“That’s… That’s that… That’s not…”

“We seem to have a misunderstanding. Shall we resolve it through dialogue? Or…”

“Yes, yes. So… Do it. Do it…”

“As expected, you are wise. Now. Then, would you like to try this first?”

He approached with a smile and held out the box he had brought.

It was the box I brought as a gift earlier. Opening it and taking out a small box inside, he opened it casually, and Count Esthal’s eyes wavered when he saw the contents.

“…This is. Well, something.”

“It’s called solitude. Now there is only one precious thing left. Good luck. You can eat this precious thing. Actually, this is the present I was going to give to the Count. hahahaha!”

In the box was a pitch-black insect. It’s horrifying just to see it wriggling, but to eat it.

“If you put all sorts of poisons in a jar, the poisons will start to eat each other. Among them, if a chaos-attributed bug becomes the last one, it is called go. And the effect is…”

“……”

“It settles in the user’s heart and makes them faithfully carry out their creator’s orders. Ha ha ha! How about it? Isn’t it a wonderful poison?”

I did. It would be even more so if the user was not himself.

“Actually, I was going to give it to you saying it’s good for stamina… Well, just eat it. Don’t chew it. If you chew it… Well, it won’t be good for your body. Anyway, that’s because poison is poison.”

Wriggling bugs.

And if you swallow this, you will become a slave who follows the orders of the creator, that is, the orders of Cheonyoung in front of you.

I didn’t want to.

So Count Stahl took a step back, and Cheonyoung, who was smiling wide at him, slowly erased his smile, opened his eyes wide, and said coldly.

“If you don’t like it, die.”
