“I’ve had enough! I’ll slaughter every last one of you!”
With that furious shout, the magician raised a strange magical device high above his head.
Kiiiiiinnn—
A piercing sound echoed throughout the party hall as multiple magic circles flared into existence across the floor and walls. But it wasn’t the spell itself that changed everything.
It was the sound.
“Waaahhh!”
Right. Little Arthur, who had been in such a good mood just moments ago, was startled by the sudden noise and burst into loud, heartbroken cry. The instant everyone saw Arthur crying, the atmosphere shifted completely.
“My grandson is crying, you fool!”
“Guh—!”
Someone moved.
No—many people moved at once.
In a single instant, the Margrave closed the distance and drove a strong body blow into the magician’s abdomen.
“You dare make Arthur cry? That is a crime worthy of ten thousand deaths!”
“Guaah—!”
As the magician is sent flying with his body bent in a つshape, the Madam stepped forward and delivered a powerful uppercut.
And just like that, the magician—who had only managed to activate his magic device—was sent sprawling, completely knocked out.
Arthur’s ultimate security system had been triggered.
As for Sura-chan, who had been hoping for a rematch, looked slightly displeased at having her prey snatched away right before her eyes.
“It seems this magic device is the type that won’t stop once activated.”
“Most likely something that summons a creature. Last time it called forth an orc… so perhaps goblins this time?”
I tried to stop the magic device, but it wouldn’t budge in the slightest. Just as the Margrave had said, once activated, it seemed impossible to stop it.
But for some reason, the summoning was taking time. That gave us a brief window to prepare.
“If we defeat it here, the room will get filthy. Let’s toss it off the balcony into the garden.”
“Then we can simply finish it off outside.”
“Alright, let’s split up—some to throw it down from the balcony, others to intercept in the garden.”
“Agreed. Let’s go with that plan.”
While we were calmly discussing our strategy, the summoned monsters finally appeared.
“““Kiishaaa!”””
“…Huh? Just goblins?”
“There’s nothing else? No Goblin King, no Goblin General?”
The sight left us more than a little deflated.
Only goblins?
To think they planned to wipe us all out with nothing but goblins.
That was… almost insulting.
