I thank you again for inviting me this evening,

Lord Zatharin.

Y-Yes, ma'am...

See that you wear this.

I hope we're both able to make favorable purchases.

Though it will be the final time.

Leo.

If Vankish's Redsky Dragoons really are involved in this,

it's all the more reason to approve Scarlet's undercover presence.

The auction is close.

We can probably get about ten of our CIO agents into the auction.

Naturally, they will be forced to surrender their arms within the auction venue.

Those we send in will be skilled combatants,

but only if they're armed.

Even if they use magic, they will likely struggle to take Godwin into custody.

But your sister will remain fully capable, even without weapons.

And if she can lay out everyone behind the slave auctions, including Godwin...

her latest bloody nickname will likely be...

The Kingdom's Iron-Fisted Savior.

MAY I GO TO SEE MY FISTS' BELOVED ONE (PUNCHING BAG)?

The palace knights are in place.

Lord Leonardo.

Well done.

When Prince Julius gives the signal, we'll enter.

Sir!

Everything's ready.

Now, if my sister can just hold to her word...

I'll allow you to go in, but please avoid unnecessary fisticuffs.

All right?

Of course.

Thank you for your kindness, Brother.

It's no use. My stomach hurts!

Maybe I should have called it off.

Please be good, Scarlet!

What kind of slave are you in search of today?

I've heard there will be an avian auctioned off.

I had so hoped to see one!

I'm going to look for an elf to give my nephew.

I want to run a show where combat slaves fight for the crowd's amusement!

But the crown jewel of the auction is no doubt the beastkin—

I beg your pardon.

Of course.

That voice sounded familiar.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I thank you for your patience!

The auction will now commence!

Yes! I'm going to get that slave I had my eye on!

I dipped into taxpayer money for this!

Everyone here seems so well prepared!

I fear that the money I brought won't be enough.

Oh, please.

I heard you seduced Palmian priests and took them for quite a tidy sum!

Now, let us introduce our first item!

Behold, a rare one-winged avian!

Fifty gold!

Sixty-five!

One hundred gold!

Do we have any other bids?

Hey.

As there are no more bids, sold for 100 gold!

Aren't you the mission commander? What are you doing here?

I came to check on you.

Did you find Godwin?

Not yet.

Though I have a few ideas of where he might be.

Now, our next item for bid!

The palace knights are ready and waiting for my signal.

We'll start the bidding at thirty gold!

If you don't hurry, they'll take your target away.

- Forty! - Prince Julius.

- Sixty! - I propose a trade.

- I propose a trade. - Seventy!

I intend to thoroughly clobber Minister Godwin,

so could you please tell the knights to hold off a while longer?

Nothing would delight me more.

Watching you punch that fool is the reason I joined the undercover team.

Yes, I had a feeling.

Now, if I were to do as you ask...

what would you give me in exchange?

I shall vow unwavering loyalty to the crown and kingdom for the rest of my life.

No. Not to the crown.

Vow your loyalty to me.

I'm sure it will come to the same thing, in time.

You are next in line for the throne.

I can't wait. Swear it now.

That is my condition.

Then... Yes, I swear.

Can I trust you on that?

That's not fair. You've practically coerced me.

That's nothing new, is it?

This black-hearted prince.

We'll start the bidding at twenty!

Thirty!

So, where is Godwin?

Up there, overlooking the hall.

Then it's time for the show...

A once-in-a-lifetime pummeling spectacle by Scarlet El Vandimion.

You're free to be in the audience,

though I may go off-script and slug a certain golden-haired lord as well,

so I would advise caution.

Now, I'm coming to see you...

The one my fists have longed for...

Their beloved punching bag.

Mama! Please don't go!

Chill out, kid.

Mama!

Don't struggle. There's no point.

Saint Diana. Please save us, Saint Diana!

Shut the hell up.

The saint doesn't give a damn about the prayers of slaves.

Don't worry. You and your mom will both be safe.

Counting on you, Scarlet!

You made sure to put the innocent soldiers to sleep.

Your control is excellent.

Your compliments fail to please me when you beat me out for first place on our magic exam.

You still haven't gotten over that?

Who the hell're you?

Appetizers before the main dish...

Let's make a party of it!

Now, ladies and gentlemen!

During this intermission, please enjoy...

Raldolth's Fifth Symphony, "Dance of the Roses"!

What's going on?

At last we meet...

my dear punching bag.

Scarlet El Vandimion?!

Y-You...

How dare you show your face before me!

It's a pleasure to see you this evening, Lord Heine.

Has your convalescence gone well?

The impudence!

Father, I'll handle this!

Lightning, descend from heaven and strike down my enemy!

With royal authority, I issue this decree:

That spell is not permitted.

My spell didn't activate?!

Th-That ring...

The Royal Seal, which can cancel spells cast by anyone in the kingdom?!

The fact that you can use it means...

Is it possible... are you...

Prince Julius?!

N-No! There's no way Prince Julius could be here!

I-Indeed! If that's him, we're ruined!

You can't fool us, you impostor!

Th-They're right!

Call him, then!

My!

Is that you, Donovan?

Go, Donovan!

Kill both Scarlet and the impostor prince!

You're late.

I was wondering where my bodyguard got off to...

Sigurd.

You're the one who lost me so you could go off on your own.

So you're the meat sack I bumped into earlier.

"Meat sack"?

It never ends!

Everyone, get him!

Get away, both of you!

Wh-What are you doing, Lady Scarlet?

Lord Sigurd.

Those are my meat sacks. Not for you.

I permit you to fight only that lycanthrope. Is that clear?

The corrupt nobles are for me alone.

Have I made myself clear?

No objections!

Next, Tibonne's Third Symphony,

"The Beautiful Maiden"!

Wh-What the...

We never got the signal, so I came in to check, and...

Father! Mother!

Your daughter has finally stooped to mass murder!

I didn't kill anyone. I used the back of my sword.

How?! You're using your fists!

Your whole body is the blade!

Not good! The patrons are escaping!

I don't think we can hold the knights back any longer.

Wait! I have yet to clobber Minister Godwin.

Leo, go after Godwin.

This was not our agreement.

Worry not.

I'll see to it that Godwin is clobbered by your hand alone.

I'm not sure I like the sound of this conversation...

Leo, I have exchanged vows with Scarlet.

Vows?!

Yes. So I must honor my word to her.

Are you serious?

You and Prince Julius have exchanged vows?

It's true.

I have sworn my life to Prince Julius.

Incredible...

Oh, Scarlet!

And here I'd given up on you ever finding that kind of happiness!

Father, Mother...

I don't understand your reaction, but I'm glad to see you happy, my brother.

They're both way too clueless.

Release.

Prince Julius's signal!

Go in, men!

For my sister, whose only joy was in striking others, to marry so well...

No! I must pursue Godwin.

Enchanted eye that sees one thousand leagues...

Clairvoyance!

I see him.

He's with his son, Heine.

They're heading for the roof via the central stairway.

Wait.

Can it be...

There's a dragon approaching the roof!

So Godwin really was working with the Redsky Dragoons.

If he escapes to Vankish, he'll be out of our reach.

This is the basement.

The roof is the fifth floor.

Even at our fastest, can we catch them in time?

Scarlet, why are you removing your shoes?

To give it my all, of course.

Elder Brother Leo.

Look after Nanaka and the others, I pray you.

Acceleration: Three Burst.

Scarlet!

Blessing of Chronoa: Acceleration.

By speeding up time around me, I can move faster than a normal human.

I beg your pardon.

Triple speed certainly takes a toll on the body.

But I can't allow such finely aged meat to escape me.

We have to get away, Father!

Yes!

You wretch!

A common soldier like you should show deference to men of high station like us!

Get down from that dragon and meet us on the ground!

Human garbage.

Rex, do it.

I fear I can't have that.

Heine!

Good evening to you, Minister Godwin.

I missed you in our time apart.

Scarlet El Vandimion.

To stop Rex's tail with a single hand...

You are magnificent!

It appears I've fallen in love with you.

Marry me.

I must refuse.

No mischief, now.

Not only did you land a blow on my face,

you knocked Rex out with one strike!

I've fallen for you even harder, Scarlet!

Are you delusional?

Accept my courtship!

Kindly withdraw it.

Those gorgeous blue eyes!

Like a jewelry box containing all the worlds gems—

That is enough.

A woman who can kick like that...

Even in Vankish, prized for its warriors, I've never met one.

I beg of you, come with me!

You are certainly persistent.

Are you certain it is I on whom your attention should lie?

Did you not come here to slay the incompetent Godwin?

What?!

First Prince of the Vankish Empire,

Alflame Rare Vankish?

You're correct.

I came here to kill these men.

Y-You impudent brat!

I gave you all that information, and now you're going to cut me loose?!

You promised to make me a minister in Vankish!

You already sold out one kingdom.

You really thought I'd trust you with the fate of another?

What?!

Graciously accept your traitor's death.

You will not deny me my meat.

Hardly ladylike to show your legs like that...

But...

That makes me like you even more, Scarlet.

And it's hardly gentlemanly to seize a lady's leg.

What a lovely smile.

Have you decided to accept my love?

This man...

You seem to hold your endurance in high esteem.

I suppose I do.

Metallization, the blessing gifted me by the God of Steel, Meteorr,

gives me an invulnerable body that can withstand any physical attack.

It seems you have a blessing as well...

But you cannot defeat me with bare-fisted blows.

I would ask you to understand, step back, and let me dispose of that scum.

I beg your pardon, Highness,

but I know a way to defeat you.

What is that?

Stand-up grappling?!

That's a very primitive...

and effective...

way of dealing damage...

my lady!

I thank you for the compliment.

Are you finished resisting?

Yes. You appear tired as well, Highness.

Oh, please.

I'm perfectly fi—

What?

What a relief.

Had the contents of your head been made of steel as well,

I truly would have had no recourse.

Wait, has she...

A concussion?!

To think you'd bring me to my knees like this...

This kingdom of weaklings is unworthy of you!

Will you come with me?

I've grown weary of our dance.

Return to your kingdom at once!

Acceleration: Three Burst.

I haven't given up!

Well, then.

The moment I've longed for is finally here...

Minister Godwin.

W-W-W-Wait a minute!

I'm sorry for trying to kill you!

My fool of a son came crying to me, so I had to!

And I'm sorry for using Terenezza to break up your engagement to Prince Kyle!

Terenezza?

You knew her before?

I had no idea.

Oh, well, I didn't mean...

I see.

So Terenezza had your aid.

Does that mean you instigated her meeting with Kyle?

That you're the reason I was humiliated at the ball?

No!

I just went along with her plan!

Y-Yes. I can give you useful information.

Let me be, and I'll tell you!

I know who Terenezza really is.

She's not actually from this world.

Sh-She was brought here...

Reincarnated from another world by the power of a goddess!

MAY I CLOBBER THIS ASSHOLE PRINCE?
