Volume 5 - CH 30

Act 5-30: Warped Common Sense

――The place was around one kilometer north of Ket Nya.

The scene projected in Asta’s projection ability showed me the scene where that idiotic prince(Gilbert) baked his enemy till there was nothing left of him.

「GAHAHAHAHAHAHA! THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE, DON’T YOU THINK SO!?」

I laughed heartily. Yeah, that’s only natural. That guy had shown a performance which exceeded my imagination after all.

「This is impossible…」

Asta on the other hand showed a really complicated look.

「Look, I’m correct right?」

Though Asta underestimated that idiotic prince, that idiot was still royalty. According to Rose, he received gifted education in regard to combat from a tender age, he seems to have fairly good achievements in martial arts as well. Given all those factors, he should be able to defeat that small fry without giving the other party a chance to go all out. [TL: Yeah, the fixing of Kai’s huge misunderstanding has literally got canceled by none other than his own Subjugation Picture Book’s ability to create a regressor.]

「Master, what did you do to THAT?」

「What do you mean by “What did I do”?」

She asked another enigmatic question. Honestly I had no idea what Asta tried to ask right now.

「So you’ve no idea. A much appreciated answer, is it Girimekhala? I don’t think so, that guy will definitely tell you if he does something. Since that’s the case…」

Seeing Asta drowned in her own train of thought while touching her chin,

「The game has ended. Tell Girimekhala about that.」

I declared the end of the 1st trial.

「What about that small fry assassins?」

「Well, I don’t want to destroy their festive atmosphere. I’ll handle that matter.」

When I asked the opinion of one of my subordinates in the subjugation picture book who possessed analysis abilities, I heard that Sugar person was a special case despite being the same human as me. That’s why killing him wasn’t a simple matter. That idiot prince seems to notice that fact as well, that’s why he cooked his opponent till the other party became ashes. That’s why his flesh had died. Yes, only his flesh.

But the one thing that one had to be careful with was that guy’s possession ability and transformation ability. First was possession, he couldn’t just possess anyone, there were several conditions to achieve that. That’s why he currently tried to possess those women from the thieves gang.

「Master, may I ask you a question?」

「Uhm? What is it?」

「Did you foresee the battle of THAT, master?」

「Well, mostly, it went in accordance to my predictions.」

Well, I hadn’t expected that small fry would be defeated so thoroughly before he showed his final form though. But, that was also his fault for letting his guard down. He got defeated before without even being able to touch his opponent. In a certain way, that was an ideal form of battle. That’s why the victory of this 1st trial goes to that idiotic prince.

「So you’re even messing up with the world’s common sense. Master, you really are… A terrifying Personage.」

Asta heaved a really deep sight as she muttered those rude remarks.
