Imperial City.
　In the royal palace, the audience chamber.
　I had flown in from Carlisle's mansion with instantaneous magic and had an audience with the Emperor Elisabeth.

"Therefore, I would like to add Count Albert Miller to our alliance.

　Afterwards, Miller took a liking to me and asked me to join the alliance.

　It's obvious that she's in the same boat as my father and his friends, and that the incident in the village would be no problem at all if she joined the alliance.
　I had no problem except that I was a bit slack-jawed, so I immediately flew here by magic to ask Eliza's permission.

"Forgive me, rather than ......

　Eliza's expression changed.
　From the dignified imperial emperor to the friendly Eliza.
　Eliza can't hide her surprise--and then she makes a face.

"You got that rabid dog on your hands. That's my boy Alec.
"Are you such a mad dog?
"Enemies, owners, and yourself. It's a way of life where you can't help but chew them all to death.
"I'm myself too. ......

　That's more than I expected.
　Miller, I thought "everyone" was friend and foe, but I heard I was in it too.

　Well, ...... it's not hard to understand now.

　That was probably because of the curse.
　Miller says that after the curse was lifted, the headache that lasted for fifty years was gone.

　It makes sense, considering his rabid personality and action manners, and the headaches were driving him to desperation.

Well, we'll see. If you've already got your hands on ......, you won't be seeing it again.
Maybe, maybe not.

　After all, I was getting into the same groove as my fathers.

Anyway, that's a good thing. Well, that's good news about the alliance, suit yourself.
"Thank you, Your Majesty.

　Now you have officially added another person to the Alexander League.

　　　　　☆

"......

　I couldn't believe my eyes as I came back to Carlisle's mansion with instantaneous magic.

"Ohhhhhhhhhh!
"Kah!　Kakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakah!

　...... The Great Monster War?

　For some reason, Horsen and Miller were fighting - or rather killing each other - in the garden of the mansion.

　Horsen is twirling a sword three times his height and smashing everything in his range, including trees, grass and garden stones.

　Miller, on the other hand, looks ...... bareheaded, but his hands are purplish-black and venomous, dissolving anything he touches into a sludge.

Uraaah!　You old bastard!　I've always hated that side of you!
"Baboon, baboon!　It's mutual. I'll melt that squeaky throat into giggles!

　They are angry, crazy, and hostile, and their battle is fierce.
　If you carelessly jump in between them, you'll be out of luck; if you're not careful, you'll be blotted out without a trace.

Master Alec!

　When Angel found me back, he came running over to me in a hurry.

Angel, what's going on?　What's going on?
"That's why ...... Mr. Hossen came to visit and met with Mr. Miller, but for some reason the two of you suddenly started fighting. ......
"Hmmm, from what I've heard ......, it sounds like you two have always disliked each other.
"What do we do, Mr. Alec?
"Hmmm.

　I'm not going to be able to say that we don't like each other, but let's stop here for now.
　As much as we hate each other, let's not do it here for now.

　Hossen and Miller on the rampage .
　The clash of the Empire's top two warriors is no joke and could turn this area into a deadly land if left unchecked.

　Besides, maybe one of them ...... will die at worst both.
　Two people who are fighting in the realm of killing each other already have some wounds.
　While the wounds may slow them down, the area is inversely filled with a thicker, more deadly atmosphere.

　Yeah, let's stop it.
　I've got to stop it.

　I took a deep breath and, releasing my magic, jumped in between the two men.

　With my right hand, I firmly grasped Hossen's sword and caught Miller's poison claw with my left.

"Brother-in-law!
"Bowls!

　They were surprised at my appearance.
　The murderous atmosphere has faded and they both give me their usual (、、、、) look.

"You stopped my sword, my brother-in-law, you have no idea what you're doing.
My poisoned claws must have hit him, but he's fine. I never cease to be amazed at Bowles.
Hmm?
"How?

　After complimenting me respectively, they looked at each other.
　What little bit of murderous energy there was left faded away in the blink of an eye.

What? You're not here to kill your brother-in-law?
I thought you were the one who was going to take advantage of Bowers.
"What's the use of my brother-in-law? Taking advantage of my brother-in-law?　If he does, I'll kill him without a trace with this sword.


You're on the same page with me. If I had a karate like that, I'd spend a whole day slowly melting it down to the bone instead of killing it.
"......
"......

　The two of them looked at each other over my head, with me between them.
　Eventually they put out their hands and squeezed each other tightly.

"I thought you knew what you were talking about, you piece of shit.
I always thought you were the old man with the sarcastic old man's eyes, but you've got the right idea.
That's what happens when you see the bowls. I'm purified.
"What!　That's such an enviable thing to do!

　It was like we had a connection.
　The two of them hit it off so well that it was a lie that they had been fighting to kill each other.

　They looked at me with their swords and claws, each holding a weapon, and were like, "Whoa!

I'm sorry, brother-in-law, for going off on you.
Forgive me, Boz, I will do anything to make you feel better.
Yeah, I've got to fix that mess in my yard.
Yes, I will help you.
That's okay.

　I looked around, no, I checked.

　The garden that looked like it was going to be a straight line to the land of death from the two monster wars has already been restored to its original state.
　I jumped in and stopped them, and at the same time I cast a repair spell on them.

Is it fixed now?　...... is true.
"When did ...... Bowers do it?
"Yeah. But are you two hurt?
"Huh?　Come to think of it, it's nothing.
I'm sure my ...... arm was mangled from too many slashes, but ...... bowls?

　Nod.

　When I jumped in, I also healed their wounds.
　Two of the Empire's top two men, one hundred and ninety-nine in arms.
　Since they were killing each other and possibly already fatally wounded even though they didn't see each other, I actually cast a healing spell before the garden.

　I'm glad to hear that both of you are healing well.

　Horsen and Miller looked around for a moment and then - at the same time - laughed loudly.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha!　She's got one. You didn't think that you would not only stop him, but also heal the garden and our injuries as well.
Hmm. Our time is over, I guess.
You're slow to notice, your brother-in-law was born the moment he was born.
"You're the one who just noticed,
"Haha, you're in for it.

　The two hit it off even better.
　It's kind of like ...... yeah.

I'm so happy to see you. ......

　No, what's amazing is that the two of you changed, I thought.

　Anyway, I'm glad it's over in one piece.
