“Sandra, Monica. I believe the enemy is an assassin with the Title of ‘Scorpio’.”
“No, Prince Harold. From the presences I’ve confirmed, there are at least seven more.”
“I see.”
So, they intend to greet us with all of the ‘Zodiac’, except for the “Big Three.”
Then… all we have to do is crush them all.
“Monica! Tell me the exact locations of the enemies! Sandra, stand by behind me! At my signal, take them down in one go!”
“Prince Harold, three directly ahead. But that’s a decoy. The real target is…”
Next to my face, the place Monica indicated. It’s… directly beneath us.
“Sandra!”
“Yes!”
“Gugyah!?”
Sandra thrusts Balmung into the ground, and a scream rises.
When she pulls the sword out, blood oozes from the spot.
“Next. Two each from the left and right. One from directly above… no, that one’s taken care of.”
Next to me, as I brace my Shield against the two enemies on the left, a man spraying red foam from his mouth falls with a thud.
“Caz!”
“Leave it to me! Snatch!”
“Guah!?”
“Ugh…”
The phantom of a giant claw gouges the bodies of the two enemies together.
One rolls around on the ground in pain, and the other… seems the instant death effect activated, and their very life was Stolen.
“Ah…”
While I was dealing with the enemy on the left, Sandra bisected the two who attacked from the right with a horizontal slash.
“Three left.”
“No, one.”
Monica, who had somehow circled around behind the three enemies in front, had reaped the necks of two of them.
“Lord Hal, what shall we do with this one?”
“Alright, finish him.”
“Understood.”
Monica, who had been blocking the mouth of the remaining one, slashed his neck with a Dagger Knife.
It’s not like there wasn’t the option of keeping him alive to get information about the enemy, but I have all the knowledge about Engage Hazard. So, I don’t particularly need him.
More than that… these guys tried to target not only me, but also my Precious Thing(s).
I’m not generous enough to let those guys run rampant.
“Now, shall we go? To show all the remaining ones hell as it is.”
“Fufu… yes.”
I took Sandra’s hand and told her that, and she raised the corner of her mouth like a crescent moon.
Because she feels the same way as I do.

“W-wait! We were just hired!”
We stormed into the assassin guild’s hideout, and with the momentum of slaughtering the Zodiac assassins, we finished off ‘Sagittarius’ and ‘Leo’ of the remaining three who were waiting for us.
The remaining ‘Aries’ is now begging for his life in front of us.
“Hired? That’s an interesting thing to say. You guys, the ‘Zodiac’, are assassins organized to swear absolute loyalty to your lord. You shouldn’t tell clumsy lies for your own sake. …Unless you don’t care what happens to your lord’s life.”
“U…”
At my words, the Aries assassin is at a loss for words.
That’s right… this assassin guild called the ‘Zodiac’ was an organization formed twenty years ago for a certain person.
To eliminate all those who would become enemies of a certain person, and to bring them lifelong peace.
“…Do you really think you, Prince Harold, can do such a thing?”
“I can. That(That thing) is no longer my Precious Thing.”
If it were Harold from EnHaza, he certainly wouldn’t have done something like this, and their lord would never have tried to target Harold.
But the me inside Harold is “Haru Tachibana.” Even if I share the same memories and Feelings as Harold, my personality itself is different.
That’s why… even if my chest hurts, even if it feels like it’s about to burst, I’ll cut it off for the sake of my Precious Thing.
“So, there’s no point in pretending to beg for your life, and after I finish you off, it’s that guy’s turn. Regret trying to lay a hand on us in the afterlife.”
“P-please wait! I don’t care what happens to my life! So please, that person… at least have mercy on the Princess…!?”
Monica, who received my signal, reaped the neck of the Aries assassin, who was desperately begging with his forehead rubbing against the floor.
“Lord Hal, next is…”
“Yeah. Of course, it’s that guy.”
In the Cardis Schism, one of the main Scenario in EnHaza, the protagonist Wilfred, along with his companion heroines, defeats all the Zodiac assassins, and Cardis, who hears about this fact, reconciles with the protagonist in order to stop the atrocity.
In the end, the lord of the Zodiac is persuaded by Cardis, and will no longer harm the protagonist in the future.
But.
“I won’t choose the path of ‘reconciliation’. So, you’ll regret it. Mother… no, Margaret Well Dehauvalz.”
