Again.

I also overestimated my own strength and took on an opponent I couldn’t beat.

And this time, it wasn’t a mock battle. It wasn’t against just someone with skills, a nobleman, or an academy student, but against someone from the underworld.

With Kaisar, he was still someone that had a public appearance, a noble, even if corrupt, and an academy student, so it ended where it ended.

Even so, I got beaten up so badly that I never wanted to go near Kaisar again, and I was even mildly traumatized by him. No doubt, this time, it will be more than that.

I might be r*ped and then brought into slavery, or, at worst, I will get killed.

I don’t want that.

I was born a noble and have yet to do anything aristocratic.

It would be as if there was no point in me being born into this world.

I have a dream to make every person living in this territory happy, and I also believe that is the way to live as a noble.

It had been my dream since I was a child to work with my brother to create a territory where slums would get abolished by reducing the gap between rich and poor and a place where children could laugh and play anywhere. Where did I go wrong?

“Heh, you can still move that much. But the pain makes you want to throw up, eh? You can barely stand up, right? Since there isn’t even a fight between Missy and I, if you’re going to lose anyway, why don’t you make it easier for me just by giving up without resisting? Hey, you think so too, right?”

“… Haan? B-brother? W-why are you here…”

As the Dark Guild Master asked a question from behind me, I turned around and saw my brother standing there.

“What do you mean? The Dark Guild Master ordered me to come immediately and eliminate the enemies because they were getting attacked. Instead, I should be asking why are you here, Karendoll?”

However, this may have been a reversal of fortune for me.

If it’s brother and me, there’s a chance that we could defeat that Dark Guild Master.

“B-brother! You’ve come at the right time. Let’s defeat the Dark Guild Master right there.”

“Ha? What kind of stupid s**t are you talking about?”

“… W-what? This isn’t stupid…”

“It’s foolish. I’ve been sent here under orders to destroy an intruder, and the intruder is you, Karendoll. Therefore you’re the one I’m supposed to defeat. Why am I supposed to defeat the Dark Guild Master?”
