"What are you doing, Kurando?　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The loud voice belonged to Julien Michel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In his arms was Kotomi, dressed in her nightclothes, looking a lot thinner than she had two weeks ago.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A dagger was held to her neck.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Kotomi!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kurando peeled his eyes and called his daughter's name.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam and the others could not hide their surprise at this unexpected turn of events.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（I can't believe you brought Kotomi-chan here, what good timing you have, for now I can only thank you for your stupidity!)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kotomi was trembling in Julien's pale-faced arms.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It must be terrifying for a girl of only twelve years old to be held up by a dagger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And she was facing an angry Julian. She did not know when the dagger would strike her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Still, it was important that the missing girl was here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Father,...... I'm sorry,...... it's my fault."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that Kotomi is aware that she is being held hostage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Kotomi doesn't need to apologize. Has he done anything to you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Uh-huh."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Please, Mr. Julien. Please let my daughter go.

"Don't play with me!　You promised your mother you would kill the kid!　Then kill him quickly!　Kill me, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Julian's bloodshot eyes flashed at Kurarayan as he spat at him, and it was hard to believe that he was insane.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was no telling when his dagger might hurt Kotomi.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（I'm glad you brought Kotomi with you, but I don't think I can talk to her. If something happens to Kotomi, it would be a big problem.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even though Kotomi is here, we can't do anything indiscreet as long as we are being held hostage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam clicked his tongue.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Julian!　What a despicable thing to do!　Let go of Lady Kotomi!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Scum. Let go of Kotomi."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Liese and Hualien accuse Julien, but he does not understand them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Instead, he found Liese and started smiling broadly, as if he knew what was going on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, Liese!　It's Liese!　Yes, I've got an idea!　Hey, Lise!　If you don't want Kotomi killed, you kill the kid!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"-- hey."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Tell me which life is more important!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Julian, of all people, told Liese to weigh the lives of Sam and Kotomi in the balance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Kotomi!　Let my sister go, Julien!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Please don't, Mr. Julien!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Amemiya and her son appealed to Julian, who made a crazy proposal, to free Kotomi, but there was no way he would listen to their wish.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"And you too, Kurando!　You're a sword saint, but you're useless!　Besides, your mother told me!　I went to the trouble of offering Mizuki as a wife, but she refused!　If you want, I'll even rape you and your sisters right here and now!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Please don't!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"--Father?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, Mizuki had never heard of Kurando's rejection of Julian, who wanted a daughter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam and the others did the same. And I think it's a good decision.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If they had given their daughter to such a man, who knows what they would have done to her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Please, please let go of her!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As Kurarayan reaches out with his hands and pleads, Julian spits in his face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You always make me so nervous!　Well, we knew there were no good women to hold the sword anyway. I don't want any savage women in my life!　But I'm betrothed to the little brat, and Lady Stella deserves me. Just the thought of being able to do whatever I want to the princess excites me!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam felt the urge to hit Julien for saying whatever he wanted, but he had to do something about it, so he looked around and saw Günther.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He gave a small nod. Knowing what he was thinking, Sam decided to turn Julian's attention back to him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Come on, Lise!　Kill Samuel Scheidt for me!　Then I'll be happy to do it for you again!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!　You can't function as a man because I crushed your crotch, so who are you to tell me what to do?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam burst out laughing, exaggerating to get Julian's attention.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then Julian glared at Sam with bloodshot eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You son of a b*tc*!　You're the one who got me into this mess!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You had it all coming!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't play with me, ah ah ah ah ah!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Julian's face turned red and he shouted angrily at Sam's provocation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At that moment, there was a slight gap between Julian and Kotomi's bodies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"--I agree with Sam, as a fellow man I am very uncomfortable."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Günther did not miss that slight opening.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Günther snapped his fingers, and the wards covered Kotomi's body, sending Julian's body flying away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"--oh?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As soon as Julian, who did not understand what had happened, made a dumb noise, Sam and Kurando moved.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well done, Günther!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm looking forward to your reward!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Tell that to Kurando-sama!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam and Kurando are wounded, but they do not intend to fall behind Julian.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Without the hostages, they are no match for him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I won't forgive you for what you did to my daughter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With a single swing of his sword, the kensei slashed down on Julian's right arm from the shoulder as he gripped the dagger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As Julian screams out, Sam comes close to him and swings his sword down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"--Kirisakumono!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Julian screams for the second time as his left arm is cut off from the shoulder.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam punched him away, telling him to shut up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Julian, who no longer has an arm to support him, falls to the ground on his back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Julian, realizing that he has lost both arms, screams for the third time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam stomped on his face as hard as he could, his face a mess of tears and runny nose as he sprawled on the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Shut the f*ck up already!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam let out a deep breath as he took his foot off Julian, who had stopped twitching.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Father!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Kotomi!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kotomi, who was able to escape safely from Julian while protected by Günther's warding, rushes to her father.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kurando also ran toward Kotomi and hugged her small body as hard as he could.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It might be tactless to interrupt their reunion, but there was something he needed to ask her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What should I do with him?　I leave it to Kurando-sama to decide whether or not to kill him. I don't care about him anymore."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam took one look at the fallen Julian and spat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kurando looked at Julian and shook his head, his eyes sadly downcast.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't care either. For now, all I care about is that Kotomi is back safe and sound. ...... Samuel, Günther, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving Kotomi."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kurarayan then removed Kotomi's body from her and placed it in the hands of Mizuki, who was standing behind her, bowing his head as his father had done.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Let me settle this. Now, kill me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Father!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Father!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I seriously tried to kill you, Samuel, even though you were holding my daughter hostage. That is unforgivable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are you serious?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, I'm serious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam walked up to Kurando and clenched his fists.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sam!　Please don't kill my father, father!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Master Sam!　It's my fault!　So please forgive your father!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ignoring the pleas of his daughters, Sam punched the kurajin as hard as he could on the cheek.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......Why?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kurando, his cheek pressed and his lip bleeding, looks at Sam in disbelief.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam grabbed Kurando by the chest and yelled at him with all his emotion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"There is no way I could kill you!　There's no way I could take your father away from Lady Mizuki and Kotomi!　Don't you dare try to complete this for your own satisfaction!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Unsatisfied, he punches Kurando again on the cheek.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't want to kill you and live with the hatred of Mizuki-sama and Kotomi-chan!　If you want to make amends, live to make amends!　Isn't that right, Kurando Amemiya!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"--Yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kurando was in tears.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam does not know what he was thinking as he wept.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But this was the end of a duel that had begun for a trivial reason.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If you still want to fight, then let's fight fair and square, with no regrets. Let's make it a simple fight to decide who is stronger. Dueling is just fine like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After saying this, Sam pulled his hand away from Kurando's.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kurando falls to his knees, and his daughters run to him, crying and hugging each other.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam watched this scene for a while, and then a shadow came near him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sam, I will take care of Julien Michel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Günther?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My role is not only to put a ward on this house. Kurando Amemiya, I'm taking you to court, to His Majesty. You won't complain, will you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... will of course accompany you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Günther, you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Günther winks at Sam.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was originally supposed to be the one to take the kurajin to the palace.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was inevitable since the king had heard of the duel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kuramoto will be penalized in some way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And Michel's family, of course.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（But that's enough. I'm tired today. I want to go home and relax with Lise.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Come on, let's go home."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Sam called out to Lise and the others who had been watching over him all along..,

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Huh?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Slowly, Liese's body tilted in Sam's vision.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With a thud, Liese collapses.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Liese-sama!
