Rogue Prince – Chapter 167

“……It’s rare to see a woman in a maid outfit walking around in a place like this, isn’t it?”
“Indeed. It seems that one’s (・・・) memory only lasts for about a month.”

Sandra and I shrugged, looking at Margaret-san’s personal maid, a braided woman in a maid outfit.
However, at least that personal maid doesn’t appear in “Engage Hazard.”

Which means.

“Sandra, Monica, there’s no way you two would lose, and I’ll definitely protect you, but still, it’s always better to be cautious, okay?”

Sandra and Monica are overwhelmingly stronger than the protagonist and heroines of “EnHaza.” So, that personal maid, who is even less than a Mob, could have immeasurable strength.
In times like these, irregular existences are troublesome.

“Stop.”
“………………….”

When I said that, the personal maid stopped in her tracks.
Her expression didn’t change; she just stared at us.

In the meantime, Lize, Christia, and Monica stood up and took positions by my side.
It seems they recognized that this woman is an enemy (・) from our attitude.

“Now then……what are you doing walking around here alone? You’re not just taking a stroll, away from your master, Margaret-san, are you?”
“………………….”

I deliberately said something sarcastic to see her reaction, but the personal maid’s expression didn’t change.
Well, I knew from the start that she wasn’t just a maid.

“So, that means you have business with me……but unfortunately, we don’t have any with you. If you turn around right now, I’ll let it slide this time (・・・・・).”

Hmm……threatening her doesn’t get a reaction either.
Does she have a reason why she absolutely can’t back down, or is it a display of her confidence that she can take us all on? I can’t quite tell.

“……Prince Harold, something is approaching. Probably a rather large Demon Beast.”
“Ah, I see. Caz.”
“Yeah.”

As expected of Monica, she noticed right away.
The reason this woman can act so confidently is because of that Demon Beast, huh……

――Clang.

“Whoa, that was sudden.”
“……You blocked that attack?”

The personal maid, who had silently and instantly closed the distance, struck the Jet-Black Shield Caspary I had deployed, then immediately jumped back.
She was wielding Kukri Knives in both hands.

“It seems Margaret-san doesn’t value her life this time. And that goes for you too.”
“……Margaret-sama has nothing to do with this. This is my own decision.”
“っ! She’s coming!”

I held up my Shield to meet the personal maid’s attack.

At that moment.

“Prince Harold! Directly below you!”
“Tch!”

At Monica’s voice, I leaped backward with all my might.

“Clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick!”

The ground where I had been standing just moments before burst open, and a giant Centipede Demon Beast appeared.
This is……the raid boss that appeared in the summer limited-time cool-down event in “EnHaza,” Vergeltungswaffe!? That’s super hard to say!?

“Everyone! A prolonged battle with this Demon Beast is disadvantageous! Its only attack is basically the pincers on its head, so if you stay calm, you can deal with it!”
“Yes!”

Following my instructions, not only Sandra and Monica, but also Carla, wielding the Dragon Slayer Sword Ascalon, launched attacks on Vergeltungswaffe……it’s hard to say, so let’s just call it a Centipede. Anyway, the three of them started attacking.

“Hmph! Just an insect; I’ll burn it to ashes! Hellfire!”
“Lord……grant us your protection. Wall of Light! Divine Regeneration!”

Not wanting to be outdone, Lize unleashed her attack skills, and Christia cast a magical defense wall and automatic Healing Magic on everyone.

Come to think of it, Sandra and Monica go without saying, but Carla, who has one of the highest attack powers among the “EnHaza” heroines, Lize, who is a master of combined fire and Dark Attribute magic, and Christia, who has the best Healing Skill and support skills among all the heroines, isn’t this just the strongest Party ever?

At this rate, if I leave the Centipede to those three, they should be able to handle it.

Then.

“Don’t underestimate my precious companions too much. So, your trump card is that Centipede Demon Beast, is that right?”

Even though I’m trying to provoke her, the one I’m most wary of is this woman.
The reason, of course, is that you can’t let your guard down around a skilled Mob who isn’t even a character in “EnHaza.”

I need to draw her aggro and make her focus her attacks on me.
Until everyone takes down that Centipede.

“……Why do you want a quick battle against the Vergeltungswaffe?”
“It’s obvious. The longer it drags on, the more dangerous (・・) it becomes.”
“……I see.”

Crossing her two Kukri Knives, the personal maid took a deep breath.

“Hiss!”

Just like before, she closed in on me in an instant and unleashed a barrage of attacks with her Kukri Knives.
It’s quite fast, but it doesn’t compare to Sandra or Monica……what!?

“Gah!?”
“……You dodged that too?”

The blades of the Kukri Knives suddenly changed trajectory, aiming for my feet.
I dodged it on reflex, but this tricky movement is troublesome……

“……Excuse me, it seems I had misjudged the Incompetent Rascal Prince.”
“Thank you for that. But I don’t intend to forgive you.”

Well……from the way she’s talking, it seems she was holding back until now.
I don’t know how deep this woman’s bottom (・) is, but I’m just going to focus on blocking……wait, haha!

“っ!?”
“Oh? Are we done with the emotionless character?”

Monica, who had somehow gotten behind the woman, curtsied gracefully with a Dagger Knife in her hand.
