Well, getting to the Margrave’s estate was one thing—but the moment we arrived, an unbelievable pressure was already seeping out from the entrance hall. Not just me—everyone except the Margrave himself hesitated for a brief moment before stepping inside.
And that instinctive hesitation turned out to be completely correct.
“Hey, I’m ho—gaah!”
The moment the Margrave stepped into the house, he let out a pained cry and was suddenly sent flying straight back out into the garden.
Then, the source of that overwhelming pressure finally revealed themselves from inside the mansion.
It was a woman—appearing at first glance to be a delicate human with a petite frame, about the same height as Sue. She had blonde bob-cut hair. And… well, there was no ignoring it—she was extremely well-endowed. Her expression was gentle, almost smiling. And yet, the pressure she emitted was on an entirely different level.
Shiro, Fran and Horn immediately clung to me without thinking.
“You, I told you countless times not to go out alone, didn’t I?”
“Emilia, this is different! It was urgent—illegal entry suspicion, so I had to move quickly!”
“Oh? Even if it was urgent, you still could have used a carriage, correct?”
“““Awawa”””
This is bad. No, seriously—this is really bad.
The Margrave had already dropped to his knees, drenched in sweat, completely overwhelmed by the sheer pressure radiating from the woman named Emilia. Shiro and the others were trembling as well, frozen in fear from her presence—but there was no way I could stop this either.
Then—
whoosh.
“Agagaga!”
“You seem to require a bit of discipline.”
Before anyone could even process it, the Margrave had been forced face-down onto the ground, and Emilia had him locked in a camel clutch. Despite the Margrave’s massive build compared to her slender frame, the Margrave was completely overpowered and manhandled without resistance.
And then—she shifted her hold.
“Gubuh—!”
“This time, I will make sure you properly reflect on your actions.”
The woman’s front choke was locked in tight, and no matter how many times the Margrave tapped in desperation, she showed no intention of releasing the hold.
“Gghh….!”
And then—
The Margrave went completely limp. It had all happened in barely two minutes.
Who on earth is this woman?
To so effortlessly choke out a Margrave like that—she was anything but ordinary.
Shiro and Ao were trembling violently as they looked down at the collapsed Margrave, utterly stunned by how clean and precise the technique had been.
After finishing her work, the woman calmly wiped the sweat from her brow and then finally noticed Sue and the others.
“Oh my, if it isn’t Sue. And Casey and Telma as well. It’s been a while.”
“““E-Emilia-sama… It’s been a while.”””
So, Sue and the others actually knew her huh.
But their expressions were completely stiff, still shaken from witnessing the “scene” that had just unfolded right in front of them.
