4-06: Quiet Anger (2/4)

Ku!

Then the boy gave him that reasonable take with a disgusted sigh.

As frustrating as it was, the boy had a point, and the alchemist had no choice but to acknowledge his own mistake.

However, the scorn the boy looked at him with was void of all interest and hostility, as though he were pitifully looking at a bug far beneath him, and that ticked him off.

How can you talk so arrogantly after being stabbed!? The alchemist said.

How can you talk so arrogantly after being exposed!? The boy spat back. The boy spat back. The boy spat back. The boy spat back.

The alchemist would say one thing, and the boy would say another.

In fact, it even seemed as though the boy could predict what he was about to say.

And what pissed the alchemist off the most was that the boy sounded like he was having fun.

Enough! Just die already!

?

No longer planning on hiding anything, the alchemist gave the order to kill the boy.

Stella exhaled as though she were screaming, but her body didnt budge even a little.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

What? Why arent you moving!? Arent you going to kill him!?

Stella could feel her body trying to move, but it wasnt budging in the slightest.

It was as though there was something restraining her enveloping her whole body.

When she focused her eyes, she could see that there was a thin, warm layer of black mana covering her body.

Ah

Magic Raiment Battle Law! So you stopped her from moving by covering her in it!

Exposition role part 1, thank you very much. It was a bit troublesome, but I can handle one person.

The boy laughed while caressing the sword sticking out of his stomach.

The Magic Raiment Battle Law could also be cast on others, but only while physically touching them.

Stella connected with Shinichi when she penetrated him with her sword, so he was able to cover her with the Form of Strength.

Hardening that to keep her from moving wasnt a difficult feat.

Or at least, it wasnt for him.

Did you really think I only had one pawn!?

The alchemist raised his hand, and the other fallen maids all quickly stood up.

Every one of them was shocked, but their bodies refused to listen to them, and they could only move according to the alchemists will.

When they thought of what they would be made to do, and as they realized what their older sister must be feeling, they all paled in fright.

Thats why the alchemist was so sure that the cheeky boy was done for.

Ah, no! Please get away!!

Just forget about us!

Nakamura-sama! Abandon the head maid!

The ten shadows kicked off against the ground the moment the alchemist gave them their orders.

In their hands were various weapons meant for killing, albeit unnamed.

Were he in good health, they wouldnt have panicked since they knew that he could easily defeat them and protect himself.

But the alchemist already knew that and made them put on those terrified expressions.

Despite that, the girls still yelled, telling him to ignore them and just protect himself.

Fu, fu fu.

But the boy didnt even budge. In fact, not only did he not avoid them, he didnt even look like he was going to defend himself.

The only thing on him was a warm smile that theyd never seen once in the half month that they spent together.

In fact, it was so gentle that it actually made them forget about their current situation.

A face filled with such tranquil happiness that they wanted nothing more than to serve him and be able to see such an expression on him up close forever.

It was curious if the boy had intended for that, or if it had merely been a coincidence, but regardless, the boy took advantage of the opening made to grab at them.

They didnt even notice anything.

Once again, theyd underestimated just how powerful an S Rank at Skill was.

W-What!? Screamed the alchemist.

Not one of the blades wielded by the girls managed to touch the boys skin.

They were all paused in midair, unmoving, as though they had been fixed there, neither able to advance nor fall.

Yet at the same time, not a trace of magic could be felt either.

We, stopped?

What is this? Something is enveloping us?

Ah, its warm

Their bodies continued to act on its own, but there was something that enveloped them that kept them from moving.

Despite that, they did not feel stifled or anguished, instead they felt relieved and full of warmth, so much so in fact that it actually confused them.

Why?

Apart from that, there was also an unusually comfortable and ticklish sensation.

Ive sealed your movements, its alright now Well done enduring until now. Leave the rest to me.
