The Reincarnated Saint Aims For The Friendship End!

Carol and I stroll along the main street of the royal capital.

We came by carriage, but it wasn’t that far from the academy.

Most businesses and facilities are on Main Street.

Although the Magic Tower can be seen from anywhere in the royal capital, it’s surprisingly far away.

And in the middle of the royal capital is the royal castle.

The royal castle draws water from the Hume River and makes it a filled moat, so it feels good to take a walk around the perimeter.

It’s fun to walk with Carol.

It makes me happy.

When I turned my eyes to Carol, our eyes met, and we both shyly looked away.

Ufufufuuu.

It was fun….

Suddenly, Dulcie stepped in front of me and fell down bleeding.

Bowgun arrows and bolts pierced her shoulders.

I hang a Barrier over her without a chant.

Then I put my hand on Dulcie’s shoulder and chant,

“High Heal.”

The bolts on Dulcie’s shoulder come loose and the wounds close.

The bolt pierces the Barrier with a goshi, goshi.

“ANNE…!!”

Anne-san comes out and takes the bow and arrow that Carol pulled out.

Dulcie coughs up blood and stands up.

Anne-san draws her longbow and fires.

It lands on top of a distant clock tower and explodes.

It seems to have had an alchemy detonator.

A stylishly dressed man was standing on top of the clock tower.

I put another Barrier on the outside.

“Threat Recognition S!” Anne cried. “The Ten Greats of Duke Pottinger! I confirm it’s Extreme Range Emile!”

An assassin of Duke Pottinger!

What are you doing to my Dulcie!!?

“The Ten Greats! They’re already out!”

A fashionable man named Emile holds a bowgun, fires, changes position, then fires.

The bolt pierces the Barrier and breaks it.

I strengthened another one.

“Kuhahaha, just try and protect yourself, Fake Saint!!”

A hail of bolts rained down, cracking the Barrier.

“Ojou-sama, what’s left of the explosive arrows?” Anne asked.

“5 arrows! What are you going to do?” Carol asked.

Dulcie stepped forward.

“I will jump in with the Weight Fist, Anne will help suppress fire in the meantime while I close in to engage in close combat,” Dulcie said.

“It’s a trap,” I said. “It’s a long-range fighter’s ambush. I’m guessing the soldiers are lying down on the clock tower.”

“However, at this rate, Makoto-sama and Caroline-sama…” Dulcie said.

“Don’t panic, it’s a bad habit,” I said.

I emitted a single Light molecule in a ring.

There is no ambush waiting other than in the direction of the clock tower.

“43 soldiers in light armor under the clock tower, 12 archers on the roof, equipped with short bows.”

“That’s a typical ambush for countering advances,” Anne said.

“Or rather, shouldn’t we just retreat and run away?” Carol asked. “It seems there are no other ambush soldiers.”

“… That’s right,” I said.

We stepped back, keeping the barriers up.

“Eh, ah? You’re running away, you’re boasting that you’re a False Saint, aren’t you, are you okay with that!?”

“Shut up, moron! Who’s the idiot when they don’t want to get caught in a seemingly invisible trap!!?”

His voice is carried by Wind magic, even though it’s a distant clock tower, I can hear him just fine.

“I see, I see, so you’re that kind of guy, aren’t you?”

What the hell?!

As soon as I heard that line, the blood rushed to my head.

Ah, I understand the invitation, I understand.

However, a person who received secondary education in Japan will inevitably snap when someone like Emile says that to them.

Temeeee, Emile…!

Apologize properly!!

The fuck, why are you saying such provocative things!!?

It’s my fault for destroying an important butterfly specimen, though!!

I did something that can’t be undone!!

There must be a way to say it!!

Of course, he’s the Emile of this world, and he doesn’t have a collection of butterflies, and I didn’t smash his toadstool in my pocket either.

However, if a guy named Emile says, “I see, I see!”, that’s the signal to start the war!!

“On second thought, I’m going to kill him,” I said.

“Eh, Makoto, what are you saying?” Carol asked.

“Dulcie, how much weight can you lose with the Weight Fist?”

“Eh, um, about 20%,” Dulcie said.

Is it like that when you cast it on someone else?

But 20% is fine.

“How long can you sustain it?” I asked.

""

“About 3 minutes,” Dulcie

“It’s dangerous, please stop, Makoto-sama,” Anne said.

“Yeah, yeah, it’s dangerous,” Carol said.

“Do it, there’s no room for argument, Dulcie, Weight Fist!!”

“Yes, on it!”

Dulcie’s fist hit my chest with a thud.

Fuoh, my body is light.

“Anne-san, when I approach the clock tower and come within range of the shortbows, please suppress them with an explosive arrow.”

“B-but…!!”

“This is the time to do it, they’ve got a break in the fire for the first time in a while,”

“I don’t understand at all how this came from the exchange earlier,” Carol said.

Urusai, Carol, this is the destiny of someone who will absolutely kill Emile.

""

I hung the Barrier in front and jumped out.

“Oh, you’re going to do it! Oh yeah, that means you’re an idiot, huh!!?!”

“Uruse…! Omae, I’ll definitely kill you, Emile!”

My body is so light, so the speed increases steadily.

A bolt flies toward me but is deflected by a Barrier with sharp angles like a snowplow and it flies behind me.

I will absolutely kill Emile!!!
