Chapter 13: Weiss-kun VS Koenelicht! (Instant Kill!!!)
“You called Reite-jou a damn woman? It seems your brain needs to be crushed and remade.”
“You said Ojou-sama is a lord by luck alone!? I’ll kill you seventy percent! I’ll make your body one that lives by luck alone!”
The prince and butler started kicking Koenelicht.
I opened my mouth in shock at their outfits—then snapped back with a “Stop it!” and intervened.
“Both of you, stop, stop!”
“”Why!?””
Hiii, scary!
“You really can’t do such terrible things. It’s true that Koenelicht is short and rough and foul-mouthed and childish and always picks fights and is an eyesore and an annoying trash little brat but…”
“You’re the worst one, Reite-Hungaria!?”
Koenelicht shouted as he revived.
Kicking off the ground, his body vanished in an instant and escaped from the prince and butler’s beating.
“Tch, the usual Reite idiot-butler and… y-you are…!?”
There, he opened his eyes wide.
Yeah, I get it. I froze too when I saw Weiss-kun’s outfit.
“Pr—Prince Weiss-Strain,… is that you!?”
Right.
Somehow, he had removed his bandages that served as a mask and was wearing clothing that was clearly prince-like!
No no no no no, if a prince wears prince clothes then he’s completely a prince!?
What are you doing, Weiss-kun!? Why did you reveal your identity… I thought, but,
“Wrong. This is merely a costume.”
He said that with his usual expressionless face.
“Wh-a costume?”
“That’s right. What do they call it in the streets, imitation or cosplay? Since I was often mistaken for ‘Prince Weiss’ because of my name and appearance, I merely borrowed that outfit.”
“I-is that so…?”
Koenelicht asked me, so I nodded repeatedly too.
“Th-that’s right! He’s Weiss-kun, my new guard. Unlike ‘Prince Weiss,’ he’s just an ordinary commoner, so this is totally fine!”
I pounded Weiss-kun’s sides.
With the criticism of “Just what are you thinking, Weiss-kun!?” included.
“I-I see. The real Prince Weiss is said to be a cold-blooded war god. If I did something disrespectful, I’d be cut down…”
“That’s right, that’s right! (Ah, so that’s his impression.)”
Well, if only the information “expressionlessly wrecking martial arts tournaments like ice” spreads through newspapers, that would happen.
The impression of people in the former Royal Knight Order who were close to him and people in the royal capital might be different, but for us country folk, that seems about right.
“Well, there’s no way that prince would be bouncing around in a place like this. The other day, his corpse was finally found. Even now, a charred body is crucified in the royal capital plaza…”
At those words, Weiss-kun frowned.
Right. The new king announced his dispatch of troops to the neighboring country and at the same time discovered and displayed [the First Prince’s corpse].
Of course, it’s definitely fake.
In other words, that corpse means someone was burned in place of Weiss-kun…
“Mm, what’s wrong, prince cosplayer? Why are you silent?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
He says that expressionlessly, but I understand.
He’s troubled about an unrelated person becoming a sacrifice.
“Hmph, more importantly, you and the butler, you really hit me!? Especially the butler, what’s with that outfit? It’s annoying!”
Koenelicht’s anger is understandable.
Right now, Ashley was wearing [a costume of me] with only his face showing…!
Wait, what is that!?
“Wait, Ashley, what’s with that outfit!?”
“Fuh, how good of you to ask! This is the deformed version of Ojou-sama as the Hungaria territory’s mascot, the [Villainess Reite-chan] costume!”
I didn’t authorize such a mascot though!?
“By the way, I secretly prepared about a hundred of these costumes, but it seems the one I borrowed was the last. It’s quite popular~”
“Don’t mess with me!”
A hundred people wearing my costume are parading around!? Gross!!!
“Collect and dispose of them immediately!”
“Hey.”
“Geez, Ashley, you have that side to you! Like when you dueled with Weiss-kun, usually you’re seriously obedient but sometimes you act independently! Huh? ‘Because of love that’s about to come out of my nose’? I don’t care, idiot!”
“I said hey!!!”
When I noticed, Koenelicht was yelling.
“What is it, you’re still here?”
“Of course I’m still here! Damn it, can I just back down after being beaten up by mere commoners, this Koenelicht-sama…!”
In an instant, crimson light overflowed from his body.
Unmistakably the radiance of a Gift.
“Wait wait wait!?”
“What!”
“No, not ‘what’! Are you planning to fight those two!?”
“Of course!”
The idiot kid declares with mysterious enthusiasm.
“As if I can stay defeated in front of you who I dislike! Watch, I’ll crush your two subordinates and show you that I’m superior as a male!”
No no no, you can’t do that!!!
“Stop, seriously stop it!?”
“It’s too late to stop me now! I’ll make those guys regret laying their hands on me!”
The idiot relative roars.
In response, Weiss-kun and Ashley were relaxed.
“Hey Weiss, apparently that young master desires a duel.”
“Hmm, then shall I go? Two against one is cowardly after all.”
“Fine. But you, refrain from using that ability, okay? It’ll become impossible to cover up.”
“Understood.”
They’re having a strategy meeting without any fear.
Normally, if a commoner is confronted by a noble with a Gift, they’d be trembling.
“Y-you guys, what the hell are you!?”
Naturally, Koenelicht is furious.
Then,
“Like their master Reite-Hungaria, they’re a bunch of airheads.”
“—Oh?”

At that one remark, Weiss-kun’s eyes narrowed.
“You said Koenelicht, was it? You badmouthed Reite-jou again.”
“S-so what if I did!?”
“I think a little punishment is necessary. I who am always scolded should occasionally be on the scolding side.”
Fighting spirit overflows from Weiss-kun.
There’s no radiant light like usual, but it was still a chilling intimidation.
“Kuh, what are you…!?”
“A humble guard of Reite-jou. More than that, you—”
He cut off his words there,
“Don’t be afraid, come at me.”
“Wh-what did you say, you bastaaaaard—!”
Koenelicht snapped at Weiss-kun’s words!
The radiant light gathered at his feet, and strong gusts blew out from there.
“I’ll kick you to pieces! Step on the wind’s path, [Whirlwind Crimson Shoes]!”
Koenelicht’s Gift was released.
The ability to generate violent winds from his legs.
Not only can he blow opponents away with wind, he can also increase the power of his kicks by jetting from the opposite side—a powerful ability.
“This is punishment for looking down on nobility! I’ll make it so you can’t walk for half a year!”
Koenelicht soared high at once.
Turning in midair, he pointed his wind-wrapped feet at Weiss-kun.
“Die, you cosplayer bastard!”
A flying kick released like a bird of prey.
With the output of wind propulsion and gravitational fall, he kicked at Weiss-kun with tremendous force.
And impact.
Dust violently scattered, and a roar echoed through the territory where the festival continued.
However,
“Good strike. You’re quite well trained.”
“Huh!?”
Weiss-kun had caught the Gift-powered flying kick with his bare hands…!
As always, ridiculous physical ability.
“N-no way!? My kick, so easily!?”
“Then let’s end this. I’ll hold back so endure it.”
Saying that, Weiss-kun lightly drew back his fist, then,
“Come at me again anytime, I’ll accept your challenge whenever.”
He punched Koenelicht in the stomach and sent him flying several meters…!
As I thought, this prince is way too strong~!?
“D-damn it, what the hell is that guy~~…!?”
The blown-away Koenelicht.
Naturally he was beat up badly, but surprisingly his consciousness was maintained.
“You look lively.”
“Ugh, Reite-Hungaria…! Hey you, what is that man!? Where did you find such a strong man!? How much did you hire him for!?”
Hmm, how much was it?
“He was a former injured slave so he was cheap, I think. And then I bought in bulk and he was mixed in.”
“Such a way to obtain him like a bonus with snacks!?”
Well, that’s what actually happened.
“Damn it… as always, you’re a lucky woman. That’s why I can’t stand you.”
Spitting out irritably, he wobbled to his feet.
“You’re wobbly. Should I lend you my shoulder?”
“M-mind your own business! Damn it, do your best to protect your position as lord.”
Koenelicht tottered away.
Shouting “Move!” at the onlookers who had gathered before he knew it,
“…Right now, this territory is being targeted by my father and the others.”
Leaving those words, he disappeared into the crowd.
“Phew, what’s with him? Shouting and rampaging so much, then even leaving a threat.”
Still such a kid~ I shrug my shoulders.
Don’t you think so too, Weiss-kun?
“Hmm. Hey Ashley, could it be that boy has feelings for Reite-jou—”
“Well, something like that. That’s why I wasn’t seriously trying to eliminate him either.”
Wait a minute. What are you two whispering about without me?
“Include Reite-sama too.”
“”No, this topic is a bit…””
What is it, geez!?
