Only two days left until the release of “The Incompetent Rascal Prince Wants to Survive”!
Some bookstores in the metropolitan area are already stocking it!
See the afterword for details!!!
“Hawaawaawaa…”
Yo, it’s Harold.
After school, I invited Florencia to go to the main street of the Royal Capital, but it seems I’ve already messed up.
What, you ask? Well, looking at the current situation… I think you can understand immediately by seeing my face sandwiched between her huge breasts.
In other words.
“Ufufu… Lord Hal, isn’t that a bit indecent?”
“Yes, you’re practically grinning from ear to ear. How unsightly.”
Christia and Lize, who came with us, are giving me the most scornful looks they can muster.
But, I want to say something too. This is beyond my control.
I mean, seriously… I didn’t expect there to be an event on the main street today, and it’s an incredible crowd.
So, I got pushed around like crazy, and after being knocked off balance, Florencia fell on top of me.
“Now, Florencia-san, please get off of Lord Hal quickly.”
“Hawa!?”
Christia forcefully pulls her up, and Florencia lets out a surprised cry. No, I was surprised too.
I didn’t expect a Saint to be able to lift someone up so easily with one hand, even if it’s a girl. Power Saint has arrived… wait, what!?
“Kya!?”
“Fugah!?”
As if replacing Florencia, Lize now presses her chest, no less large, against my face. Presses against my face.
“H-Hey, Hal! Please don’t move!”
“Mmm, mgh…”
E-Even if you tell me that, I feel like I’m going to suffocate if this keeps up.
“…I never thought Lize-san would do something so calculated. Oh yes, indeed.”
“「っ！？」”
Christia raises the corner of her mouth, a dim smile on her face.
Seeing her expression, Lize and I gasped.
“W-What are you talking about? I was pushed from behind, and I just ended up like this…”
“That’s a lie, isn’t it? I saw you.”
Christia gets so close that their noses almost touch as she says this.
Seeing that expression, Sandra somehow flashed through my mind… wait, huh!?
“「「「…………………………」」」”
I hurriedly looked around, and as expected, Sandra and the others were hiding in the shadows, staring intently at us.
Sandra’s eyes were dyed red, and Monica and Carla were also giving off gazes as cold as Christia’s. Scary. Super scary.
“W-Well, then! We can’t stay like this forever! Let’s hurry and look around before it gets dark!”
“Ufufu, that’s right. Let’s look around together with me.”
Christia leans against me as if to spite them.
I quietly tell her that Sandra and the others are watching from over there, but she won’t listen. Is it that? When we get back to the dorm, does she want me to die? A thousand times scarier than a curse.
That’s what I thought, but.
“「「「「っ！？」」」」”
Suddenly, the ground beneath our feet turns into a swamp.
No doubt about it. This is the Evil Attribute skill [Bottomless Swamp].
“Christia-san!”
“Yes! [Aegis Shield]!”
The moment Christia chanted, a large shield of light floated above our heads, and the swamp at our feet disappeared.
This is the skill only she possesses, [Aegis Shield]. It reduces physical and magical damage and nullifies all status ailments. Moreover, its effect is permanent until the end of the battle.
But as I thought, this [Bottomless Swamp] was a status ailment-type skill. I learned that when I was sunk into the swamp last time.
“Well… this time, rather than targeting Florencia, the target is us, right? In other words.”
“Fufu, that means the caster is nearby, doesn’t it?”
Except for Florencia, the three of us raise the corners of our mouths.
The stage for directly confronting the event boss, Lucio… From Themis’s story, we know that Lucio is not a student of the Royal Academy.
So, if we prepare that stage here, I thought he would surely make a move.
That’s why the four of us came to the main street.
“Come on, why don’t you show yourself already? Moreover, you’ve done this to me, the Third Prince, in the Dehaubalz Kingdom’s Royal Capital. You should be prepared for the worst, even a war with Istania.”
I say that without addressing anyone in particular.
You laid a hand on me, a prince, and did it right in the middle of the Royal Capital, so I’m going to corner you as ‘Istania Kingdom has hostile intent.’
However, Florencia, who didn’t expect me to say such a thing, has turned pale.
The conflict between the Alvarez family and the Sol family has developed into an international problem.
Florencia aside, the Sol family now has two options.
They can honestly report this incident to the King of Istania, limiting the responsibility to the head of the family… in other words, trying to get away with just Lucio’s head, or they can eliminate everyone on the spot and pretend it never happened.
Well, the latter wouldn’t normally work out so well, but the fact that they still made a move means that Lucio is definitely desperate.
However, I don’t know what he’s so desperate about that he would make a move in a city with so many people.
Then.
“Hee…”
From within the crowd, suspicious figures wearing robes appeared one after another in front of us.
