Don’t make me laugh
Venus wanted to get compliments and that’s what I did, and it was also thanks to the Linslet style that I learned from Aria that I was able to quickly cut off the man’s hand.
It was difficult to deal with this man’s weapon simply by improving physical ability, or raising the sharpness of the sword.
[I-It’s impossible… ..! How is it possible that I… ..!]
The man was currently has a confused face.
A large amount of blood dripped from the tip of his right arm.
If it is left that way he will surely die.
However, while I thought he would escape, surprisingly the man raised the dagger from the hand that was cut off with his left hand.
[Haa… .Haa… .Haa… ..]
And after taking a stance with his left hand, he again attacked me.
Do you still intend to fight?
It seems that he was anesthetized with some type of poison, he attacked me aggressively it also seem he isn’t seriously injured.
But, I have the advantage.
However, I suddenly felt suffocated.
My throat ached like it was burning.
[Ahahahaha! I see you noticed! I have released a poisonous gas in this place! A moment ago, I injected myself with a poison that counteracts this poison!]
Instead of trying to reduce the pain with an anesthetic, he first prioritized killing me….
This is bad, my conscience… ..but it didn’t happen.
『I thought this could happen, so I have strengthened the poison resistance!』
Of the various special skills Venus has, it seems to be able to teporarily strengthen some of those.
Knowing that, the effect of other special skills will be reduced accordingly, but it is very convenient to be flexible depending on the situation.
I recovered from the poison immediately, and shortened the distance as if nothing had happened.
[What!?]
The man was surprised and tried to react.
He tried to stop my sword with his “poisonous fang.”
But, that’s a bad idea.
Because the purpose of this swing is ——- destruction of the weapon.
It is a blow that is capable of destroying that cursed blade.
『Hmm, I can easily destroy a low-class cursed blade like that!』
Immediately after colliding with Venus, the small “poisonous fang” blade was shattered.

[Luke!]
When I got back to the final exam site, Aria who noticed me ran over to me happily.
[Sorry, he got away]
That guy who tried to kidnap me, after destroying his cursed blade, threw a kind of smoke bomb and escaped.
I chased him as he left a blood trail on the ground, but on the way I was interrupted by a water channel, so I had to give up chasing him.
According to Aria, that man was an assassin of the Regalia family.
His identity is ——- “poisonous snake”, an assassin wanted in other countries whose head has a high bounty.
If i managed to catch him, it is possible that some gruesome cases of the Regalia family could have been come to light.
Even if that man is not directly involved in the incident that caused the downfall of the Linslet family, all kinds of dark things would be exposed.
[It’s okay, it’s enough that you are safely back]
[…..I see]
[Also, I could see the hope thanks to you]
There was a powerful light in Aria’s red eyes.
[I will definitely prove my father’s innocence and regain the honor of the Linslets]
[Yes, if it’s you, you will surely make it …… of course, I’ll help too]
[…… T-Thanks, Lucas. I feel that if I’m with you I can do anything]
[I think you’re exaggerating]
At that time, when I replied… ..
[A-Aria… ..!]
A young man appeared before us.
It was Lyos.
The injuries from the fight appeared to have not yet healed, and he has painful burn scars all over his body.
It seems that even now he was on the verge of crying from the shock of having lost to Aria.
[I-It’s a lie, right? What you told me during the duel that was a deception, right? …… it was to surprise me to show an opening, right… ..?]
It seems like he’s overthinking it, Lyos asked something like that.
Lie? What id talking about…..?
[There is no way you could allow… ..that man to touch your body!]
Wait, what did you say to her, Aria-san… ..?
But, Aria did not show any expression and only looked at Lyos with cold eyes that could not see any emotion, and then she spoke.
[It’s not a lie]
[If it is! Why do you keep lying !? You already beat me! So there is no need to say things like that!]
[…… In the first place, why do I need to tell you the truth?]
[Because….]
Lyos spoke somewhat excitedly.
[I realized…..! I-I’m actually in love with you ……! I certainly had a grudge against you too! I always thought I wanted to remove the humiliation from then ……! But, at some point, other types of emotions also grew in me… ..! And I could finally notice it!]
The words each time increased and accelerated.
[I can make you happy! Because I am a man who will surely become a hero! And with the power of the Regalia family, your home could be revived! That’s right! Aria! You only need me! I’m the right man for you!]
It seems that he was cheering himself up, the strength returned to the Lyos eyes.
…… .Probably, I suppose he was not informed that the cause of the downfall of the Linslet family was his own home.
[Come on, Aria! Come to my side!]
[No]
Aria expressed her willingness to reject.
[A hero? You? Don’t make me laugh, you’re weaker than me]
[A-Aria… ..]
[Also, unfortunately——]
Her lips and mine met and then parted.
[——It’s how you see it. I am already his wife. It’s not a lie or anything like that. We are in love. Right, Lucas?]
[…… Y-yes]
We already have a physical relationship, but … now that I think about it, the first time she kissed me was when I was naked …
Ahh, the light disappeared from Lyos eyes… ..
I-Is it okay… ..? he won’t die from shock will he?
[Let’s go]
Leaving behind Lyos who collapsed completely blank, we tried to leave the place.
[Also, dont say something like that. He is a thousand times, no, he is tens of thousands of times a more wonderful person than you]
I don’t know if Aria’s words reached Lyos’ ears.
Sorry late release I got a fever last Wednesday and I only felt somewhat better last night I’ll try to release brave tomorrow or Tuesday if possible and finish the first arc of D-Rank.
