The Villainess Who Was Dumped Got Married into My Family, a Mob Noble from the Frontier, and Turns Out, She’s an Amazing Capable Wife? - Chapter 121

121. Groin

“…Ah, yeah. I killed him.”

Caught off guard by the sudden question, I answered honestly.

At that moment, Clive’s eyes changed drastically, and in his swimsuit, he swiftly approached me for an eye gouge.

“Wait, listen to me for a moment.”

I grabbed his brutal attack with my hand and tried to explain.

“If it’s true, I have to kill you.”

“Clive!”

“Don’t stop her, Alicia. What about Castor’s matter? You must have seriously challenged him, and he must have fought back seriously, right?”

Correct.

While sighing, Clive continued his words.

“He’s someone who pledged loyalty, even in those circumstances. What good am I alive for?”

His eyes were serious.

Therefore, even if I didn’t want to fight now, as someone challenged to a duel, I had to accept it.

If there’s someone who truly wants to fight, I must accept it.

“…Understood.”

“Thanks a lot.”

With that said, Clive smirked.

“Laguna!”

“I seriously clashed with Edward.”

Alicia tried to intervene, but the duel was fair.

That’s the aesthetics of it.

“So I won’t fight Clive—ugh!?”

I suddenly felt an unbelievable shock in my groin.

Feeling like I was about to pass out, I crouched and turned around. Patricia, staggering on her feet, looked at me with eyes as if she was looking at filth.

“I don’t have time to watch such a shitty and awkward development.”

Th-this person…!

She’s the one who provoked me with a bombshell statement, and now she’s like this.

“Ugh… That was too much… No mercy…”

“I don’t know what you were talking about, but it’s just brutal.”

“Were there such students…? Taking him down in one shot…”

The male students around, all holding their groins, were trembling with pale faces.

“You brat, this—”

“Oh my, why do you look so surprised that the attack landed?”

Patricia, looking down at me, chuckled.

“Hmph, I see through your magic tricks. If you’ve learned your lesson from this, don’t underestimate me too much, okay? Ah, that felt good.”

She said that in a messy and incomprehensible way.

This person is a piece of crap, a boiled piece of crap crap crap!

Who decided that the enemy of my enemy is my friend?

No one decided that, right?

It’s just something you think for your own convenience, right?

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy.

It’s dangerous to be careless with this woman.

“If that girl isn’t here, then there’s no point in staying. It’s troublesome to gather information, so let’s go straight to the source of the trouble.”

His back disappearing with a smile, I vowed to retaliate without fail in my heart.

“Ar-Are you okay, Raguna…? That, you becoming like that… It must hurt a lot, right?”

“I let my guard down, I was attacked with something that even my barrier couldn’t defend against.”

I retorted to Alicia, who looked worried.

I don’t know if she’s a spirit or what, but that woman’s magical power is intangible and really frustrating.

If the impact penetrates directly, I have to rewrite the barrier.

“…She’s a goner.”

I stood up like a newborn deer, and Clive, looking apologetic, lent me his shoulder.

“I’m also responsible for this, sorry.”

“Haa haa… I’ll beat you up later, but can I ask you something first?”

“You’re going to beat me up later?”

Ignoring Alicia’s question, I said, “I did intend to kill her, but she’s probably not dead yet.”

“What…?”

If you disappear your body, it’s as good as dead, but before that happened, Belial intervened.

Although he’s been made to look like he died on his own, Edward, who still has a purpose, will not die until that purpose is fulfilled.

“What happened?”

“To talk about that, we probably need to get out of here. Despite the commotion, there are too many eyes here.”

“Understood.”

With Clive as our companion, we left the waiting room.

While heading towards the school building, I explained the situation to Clive.

“Indeed, I was indoors all the time, so I didn’t notice, but he’s gone.”

Looking up at the sky outside the window, Clive muttered.

“I didn’t notice… Why isn’t there a commotion…?”

Trayza, who had awakened, nodded as she walked at the back of our group, feeling dizzy from anemia.

I want to say it’s because they were too absorbed in other matters, but it might complicate things further, so I’ll refrain.

“Are the foolish citizens of this country too complacent, or are they under cognitive manipulation?”

Choosing sharp words, Patricia continued speaking.

“Well, for now, the current situation is the disappearance of the barrier, and Edward being taken by the demon that appeared.”

“For what purpose?”

“It’s obvious, isn’t it? Soul swap.”

That’s Patricia’s argument.
