We were totally disappointed to see only goblins appear, but that didn’t change what we had to do.
“Here we go!”
“Keep tossing them!”
“““Kiishaa!”””
Shiro and Fran deliberately positioned themselves on the balcony, provoking the goblins. Drawn in by their taunts, the goblins rushed forward in droves.
““One,two, yaa!””
And thus began a battle that consisted of nothing more than throwing goblins outside.
Except… Shiro and Fran didn’t simply toss them into the garden. They hurled them high—absurdly high—into the sky. By the time the goblins came crashing down into the garden below, they were practically wiped out on impact.
“Take that!”
“I won’t lose!”
“Gyagyagya!”
Before long, it turned into a full-blown competition between Shiro and Fran to see who could throw the goblins higher.
For the goblins, it must have been an absolute nightmare.
“All done!”
“We threw every last one!”
“Um… we didn’t really do anything on our side. Ao and Pearl are handling the cleanup.”
In the end, those of us stationed in the garden had nothing left to do. It was entirely up to Ao and Pearl to deal with the aftermath. In fact, since they wanted Pearl to absorb the goblins and power up, Ao focused diligently on cutting off goblin ears first.
Because of that, the mansion’s soldiers stayed behind to keep an eye on Ao and Pearl, while the rest of us returned to the party hall.
“Well then, shall we conduct a body search?”
“He may be carrying some kind of clue.”
“Uhm… I think the Margrave and Madam don’t need to personally strip him down…”
The Margrave and his wife returned to the party hall and immediately began searching the still-unconscious magician. Before long, magical devices started pouring out one after another.
“My, my, look at this. He’s packed with magic tools under that robe.”
“He likely intended to activate additional devices after the first one.”
Perhaps this magician had been quite skilled in handling magical artifacts.
“Ao said this magician isn’t actually that impressive.”
“Apparently, he’s pretty bad at casting spells.”
“She said Horn is way better than him.”
“In that case, our guess was right—he’s a magician who specializes in magic devices rather than magic itself.”
Shiro and the others relayed what they’d heard from Ao, but Sue seemed to have reached the same conclusion as I had.
“Oh? He’s hiding a weapon here.”
“So he really is a member of the dark organization.”
And just like that, the Margrave and his wife stripped the magician down to nothing but his underwear as they continued their inspection. They really did take everything.Well… making their grandson cry probably guaranteed this very thorough search.
