Chapter 133. Angry Butterfly

“Fire Butterfly assassinated the Prince!”

“He escaped! Fire Butterfly did!”

The blood-stained ballroom.

Amidst screams and shock, a single butterfly burning red cut through the air.

“The culprit is Fire Butterfly?”

“That’s right, that Frix! It’s Fire Butterfly’s symbol, isn’t it!”

“Pride has made their move!”

“The Prince has been assassinated!”

It was nothing short of pandemonium.

Ruin was running through that pandemonium. Of course, the athletically challenged Ruins Wayne’s ‘Natural Annoyance’ kept activating, making him want to walk instead, but that wasn’t what mattered right now.

‘That’s not my Frix.’

Come to think of it, wasn’t there someone? The one person in this world besides himself who could create Fire Butterfly Frix. Not to mention that voice from just now…

‘Echo!’

Right. That genius engineer!

Ruin’s eyes flashed.

Ginseng Superior was also angry.

「How dare they impersonate our kid?! Let’s crush that insolent fairy!」

‘I’ll kill them.’

「Right. You have every reason to be angry! They impersonated you…」

“I saw that culprit! They were wearing tight underwear!”

“Fire Butterfly in tight underwear?”

Ruin’s eyes flashed white-hot.

‘I’ll kill them.’

Ginseng Superior’s eyes became like knotholes.

「…You’re the one who’s angry?」

‘I’m really going to kill them. I’ll burn their underwear and kill them.’

“…That way.”

Ruin rarely drew his knife as he gripped it, launching his body toward the direction where people were chattering, namely the route Echo had escaped.

* * *

Around that time.

“…What? Tight-fitting clothes?”

The Hero’s voice trembled strangely. The attendant cautiously raised his head.

“Yes… underwear, that is… he escaped wearing only underwear over tight-fitting clothes.”

“…Who?”

“Fire Butterfly… they say.”

The Hero immediately shook his head vigorously.

“No. Fire Butterfly wouldn’t do such a thing.”

“…There are multiple witnesses. Even Frix appeared.”

“…That can’t be. Fire Butterfly is a monster who could turn battlefields into ruins and disappear like a shadow! Such a…”

The Hero seemed unable to believe it.

The attendant inwardly wondered if the Hero had been acknowledging Fire Butterfly all along. That’s why he looked down at the floor, reading the mood.

“…Moreover, that underwear… apparently glittered…”

“What?!”

The Hero’s eyes widened.

“Right now… the world’s strongest spy is threatening the Union with… glittering underwear?”

“Yes…”

“…”

The Hero remained silent for a long while, moving his lips slightly, then muttered quietly.

The attendant raised his head.

“How shall we respond, Commander?”

“Put leather pants on him.”

…Excuse me?

“Next time he appears, issue him combat leather pants. Let’s preserve the enemy’s dignity.”

“….”

If Ruin heard this, he would explode with rage.

* * *

The dark garden on the outskirts of the banquet hall.

“Hehehe Fire Butterfly! Fire Butterfly deploy. Everyone run away! The underwear hero has arrived!”

Red mesh underwear over tight pants. He had even stuck glittering thread all over it. On his back were barely attached origami butterfly wings and even a mask.

“Hahaha! This will completely destroy the noble Fire Butterfly image!”

Echo was running around frantically as if excited.

But at that moment-

Thud.

A shadow landed before his eyes.

“…Huh?”

The shadow raised its head to the confused Echo. It was Ruin.

Expression? None.

Look in his eyes? Killing intent.

Ruin gestured his hand without a word. Simultaneously, dozens of black hands burst forth, tearing through the darkness.

Echo screamed.

“Ack?! Wait, wait! Surrender! Surrender! Butterfly, aaahhh!”

The shadows mercilessly struck Echo. The glittering underwear and butterfly wings were torn off.

Crack!

Soon a menacing voice was heard.

“In that pathetic state… you dare impersonate me?”

It was a chilling low voice that made the surroundings freezing cold. His face was more pissed off than ever before.

But Echo covered his face as if wronged and screamed.

“Ah why! Why are you so angry!”

“Are you crazy, you damn nymph bastard, impersonating me?”

“This was all for you, Butterfly! I deliberately made your image a mess so you wouldn’t be suspected!”

Ruin silently raised his hand again. Then once more, smack! A shadow hand delivered a slap. The Shadow Subordinates also seemed angry as they swarmed out and beat Echo with thuds.

“Ugh! Butterfly, listen! This way the Hero won’t suspect you! There’s no way this kind of thing could be the ‘noble Ruins Wayne’! Who would believe it!”

Ruin became even more furious and looked down at Echo coldly.

His body trembled.

“…For such a reason… you made me into trash?”

Once again, shadow rose up behind Echo’s back.

“Agh please stop! It really hurts now!”

“Enough. It’s you.”

“What is!”

“Why did you target the First Prince?”

The atmosphere suddenly changed. Even Echo, who had been getting beaten, swallowed his breath. That was a question that couldn’t be laughed off.

However, Ruin’s gaze was even colder.

“Why did you try to kill the First Prince?”

A moment of silence passed. Echo gave a twisted smile with his bloodied face.

“…Why do you think.”

From that smile, Ruin realized the answer.

“It’s orders from Higher Command.”

Ruin’s fist hesitated.

“…Were you the Assassination Division agent coming today?”

Echo nodded.

Apart from his excellent assassination talent, he didn’t particularly enjoy killing people. But he too was a Special Grade Wanted Criminal with Pride’s leash around his neck, unable to do anything about it.

“They told me to get ‘cooperation’ from you. But you’re thinking about retirement these days, aren’t you?”

Echo slightly shrugged his shoulders.

“That’s why I helped you. Pretty loyal of me, don’t you think?”

Ruin’s facial muscles twitched violently.

“…So you’re saying you went around looking like that for my sake too.”

“Of course! Looking like this, who would suspect you of being Fire Butterfly! Do you think anyone would imagine Fire Butterfly running around in sparkly underwear with moth wings-”

Crack!

“Aaahhh!”

This time Echo wasn’t just hit in the face, but was completely buried in the ground.

“I’m really going to die! I’m dying!”

“I’ll send you off cleanly. Friend discount.”

“When were we ever friends!”

“Ah. If you do die, at least keep good posture. It’ll cost less for the funeral.”

“Damn! Thanks so fucking much for at least giving me a funeral!”

The two cursed at each other, calling each other crazy.

Actually, to be precise, they both knew the other was crazy, but they were arguing over who was crazier.

But what mattered to Ruin was something else.

‘The attempted assassination of the First Prince happened. That means the 2nd Prince’s regression information is accurate too…’

Ruin suddenly raised his head.

“Do you happen to have Rose Isles on your assassination list too?”

At those words, Echo, half-buried in the ground, barely managed to lift his head.

“No. It’s only the First Prince…”

At that moment, Ruin felt a sinking feeling.

That meant the Assassination Squad wasn’t just one team. Echo targeted the First Prince, so there might be another assassin targeting Rose.

‘If I don’t find them right now, it’ll be too late.’

The Grand Duke’s disappearance also bothered him.

Moreover, he was her partner. If something happened to her? That cunning Grand Duke might cut Ruin in half the next day.

“Damn.”

Ruin immediately summoned Frix.

“Target is Rose Isles. Target Identification, Coordinate Search.”

Then he sent Frix flying into the sky.

“Come to me immediately if you detect any danger signal. No margin for error. If you make a mistake…”

Ruin trailed off. He knew he was being overly sensitive, but his feelings of misfortune were usually accurate.

Imagining the scene of Rose Isles being murdered, Ruin wearily pressed his eyes shut.

Anyone who stayed with him became unfortunate. It wasn’t for nothing that he had bought a house in the wasteland where no one would look for him.

‘Have I stayed in one place too long?’

No. It should still be fine.

It definitely will be.

* * *

“Ah, where is it?”

Around that time, Rose was chasing a phantom butterfly.

Rose had definitely seen that butterfly. Yes, those wing beats that blazed red while spewing sparks!

‘That’s right… It’s Fire Butterfly Phlyx. I can’t be wrong.’

Catching her breath, she moved on instinct. Being out of breath didn’t matter. Right now, she had to quickly chase that Frix.

‘If I just follow that, I can see Fire Butterfly.’

She wanted to know who Fire Butterfly was, what kind of person he was.

Of course, her partner was Ruins Wayne, but well. She didn’t care what happened to such a rude man who only picked fights.

Just as she was passing through the dark corridor, Rose spotted a Frix.

“…Huh?”

She narrowed her eyes.

It was… a small maid doll dressed in maid outfit.

‘A maid Frix? Who could it be…?’

It was then that she was momentarily flustered.

Whoosh!

At that moment, something powerful swept over her.

“…!”

A force so strong it shook her body like an earthquake.

Rose realized the identity of this vast power.

‘Fortune…!’

It was the Hero’s Power with the Strongest Luck. The Luck Waves had completely enveloped the entire banquet hall. Surely it was to catch the First Prince’s attempted murderer.

And at that moment-

“…!”

The appearance of Frix that Rose was looking at wavered. The white maid outfit instantly transformed into a red flame butterfly.

Rose’s eyes widened.

“Fire…Butterfly?”

That appearance lasted less than a few seconds. It instantly returned to the maid’s appearance, but it was certain.

Just now, that was definitely Fire Butterfly’s Frix!

“H-how…?”

Just as the startled Rose was about to approach, Frix, having confirmed Rose’s location, flew away cutting through the air.

“…Wait!”

Rose instinctively chased after her.

Passing through the garden, following Frix’s afterimage that glowed faintly in the darkness, the place she finally arrived at was the terrace of the empty ballroom.

Rose gasped for breath. She had definitely seen Frix go inside that terrace.

‘Then Fire Butterfly is inside there…?’

Could she finally learn Fire Butterfly’s identity?

Her heart trembled.

She pulled the door handle and opened the terrace door. And inside there-

“…!”

“…Huh?”

Ruin was there.
