“Fufu, I’m so happy that Harold-san relies on me.”
“Hmph, I’ll help you since it can’t be helped.”

I’ve decided to get help from my two reliable ‘Precious Things’… the ‘Saint’ Christia and the ‘Villainess’ Lize.
Besides, Christia, who is a user of Holy Attribute Magic, which is the opposite of the Evil Attribute, has excellent compatibility with Lucio. Lize, who can use both Fire and Dark Attributes, will surely play an active role as well.

“Even so, the Evil Attribute, huh… I knew of its existence, but I never imagined there would be a user of it at the Royal Academy.”

As she said that, Christia’s eyes sharpened.
I wonder if she has something on her mind about the Evil Attribute…

“Well, whatever. So, this Florencia, was it? All we have to do is burn to death the fools who are trying to curse her to death, right?”

Lize, like a ‘Villainess’, grinned and curled up the corner of her mouth.
I think the heroines of ‘EnHaza’ don’t hesitate to do things like this.

“No, no, we have to capture those who targeted Florencia-san alive and hand them over to the Kingdom of Istania.”

According to Themis, clearing Florencia’s route involves defeating the event boss and taking him to the Kingdom of Istania, which will lead to the Sol family itself being dismantled and Florencia no longer being targeted.
Conversely, if things don’t go according to this, there’s a possibility that Florencia will be targeted again.

“That’s why we’ll leave them on the verge of death and officially hand them over to the Kingdom of Istania.”
“Understood.”
“If that’s the case, then it can’t be helped.”

Both Christia and Lize nodded at my words.
I’m not sure if they really understand, but for now, I’ll trust them.

“Well then, let’s go to Florencia-san, who we’re supposed to be guarding.”
“Yes… but, is it alright that Sandra-san and Monica-san aren’t with us?”

Christia peered into my face and asked timidly.
If I had to say whether it’s good or bad, it’s definitely bad, but this time, I can’t bring them along.

After all, the enemy’s attack can reach Sandra and Monica’s throats.

“…This time, my Shield can’t defend against it. The only ones who can counter it are you guys.”
“That’s a big responsibility…”

Lize took my hand and muttered.
I really don’t want to put them in danger either, and I wanted to avoid relying on them if possible.

Even though I gained this power to protect my ‘Precious Things’, it’s frustrating that it’s not useful at all…

“Christia-san? Lize?”
“Please don’t make such a face. Harold-san is always protecting us, isn’t he?”
“Fufu, that’s right. Don’t forget that we’re here because you saved us.”

Christia and Lize said that and gave a wry smile.
It seems like they’re comforting me, so I’ll gratefully accept it.

“That’s right. But, if it’s an attack other than a curse, I’ll protect you all as always.”
“Yes.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”

And so, we headed to the classroom where Florencia was.

“Hawaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?”
“I won’t let you escape.”

…Why are Florencia and Lyra playing tag?
No, I asked Lyra to protect her until we arrived so that we could deal with it even if she was targeted, right?

But, at this rate, isn’t Lyra the one targeting Florencia?

“Lyra.”
“Master, I have been waiting for you.”

As soon as I called out to her, she stopped chasing after Florencia as if she wasn’t even in her sight, came in front of me, and curtsied respectfully.

“So, what are you doing?”
“I was trying to tell that Dark Elf about Master’s greatness, but for some reason, she ran away, so I was chasing after her.”
“I-Is that so…”

Knowing Lyra, she must have been trying to force her to listen to her. To the point where she wouldn’t hesitate to resort to physical force.
It’s nice that she adores me as her Master, but as always, she’s missing a screw… no, about three screws.

On the other hand, Florencia is still panicking. In this respect, she has something in common with me, who was a gloomy loner in my previous life.
If a pushy girl like this suddenly gets involved, she must be terrified.

More than anything.

“…From the looks of it, you haven’t told her the important things yet, have you?”
“I apologize.”

I couldn’t help but press my temple at Lyra, who was apologizing profusely.

“Now, now. More importantly, please introduce her.”
“O-Oh, that’s right.”

So, anyway, I calmed Florencia down, introduced the three of us, and explained the current situation.

“Hawa… Is the Sol family doing such a thing…”
“Yeah. So until this problem is resolved, I’ll have Lyra act as your bodyguard.”

The moment I said that, Florencia made a face as if she really didn’t like it. But, in order to ensure her safety, I’ll force her to obey.

“I want to settle this quickly, so I want Florencia-san to cooperate as well. In particular, I want you to tell me everything you know about Lucio Pujol Sol.”
“I-I understand.”

And so, Florencia told us about the event boss named Lucio.
