41.

 

“If you’re scared, just say you’re scared. Then I’ll show mercy and not hurt you.”

 

While saying that, Leilani threw the small fireball she had already created toward me.

 

She apparently doesn’t know the meaning of the word mercy.

 

When I instinctively raised my hand to swat away that fireball, Leilani and Florence’s eyes widened to the point of popping out.

 

To be precise, they were looking at the dark magic reflexively rippling from my hand.

 

“Wh-what is that?!”

 

“What is that…?”

 

It was already surprising that a commoner had deflected a fire attribute attack, but now black smoke that hadn’t been there before was rippling wildly from my hand, so it was understandable they’d be flustered.

 

But immediately Florence unleashed a barrage of water droplet attacks toward us, and Caroline, who was beside me, quickly deployed a light attribute barrier to block those droplets.

 

Florence and Leilani continued their attacks, saying that just defending like that wouldn’t be enough to defeat them.

 

At this rate, all the furniture in the room would be destroyed and we’d be summoned by the Head Priest. I had no choice but to bite my thumb with my teeth.

 

Then I rubbed my thumb and index finger together and drew a defensive spell formation with that blood.

 

A black smoke hole formed in front of Caroline’s barrier and absorbed all of Florence and Leilani’s attacks.

 

“Wh-what is that?”

 

“Dark attribute?”

 

“H-how is this…!”

 

All three of them looked at my dark magic defensive formation in amazement.

 

It’s still too early to be surprised.

 

I drew another spell formation in the air, creating dozens of black smoke blades that struck the water droplets and fireballs Florence and Leilani were throwing.

 

Their attacks were destroyed by my blade attacks before being absorbed into the black smoke hole.

 

I drew another spell formation in the air, generating black shadows resembling tree branches that bound Florence and Leilani’s bodies and hung them upside down in mid-air.

 

“Kyaah!”

 

“Kyaaah!”

 

Both of them dangled in the air, screaming frantically.

 

Since they’re being noisy, should I gag those mouths too?

 

I quickly drew another spell formation and gifted both of them black smoke gags over their mouths.

 

“Mmph! Mmph mmph!”

 

“Mmmmph!”

 

They twisted their bodies and protested toward me.

 

But since I had gagged them and it was quiet, I thought I should explain the situation to Caroline, who was so shocked she couldn’t even blink.

 

“Caroline, this is…”

 

“My goodness, Eli! That’s so cool!”

 

Suddenly, Caroline grabbed my hand that I had bitten and began pouring healing power into it.

 

“Getting hurt is a bit concerning, but it really seems like such a cool ability! How can you use such power? Were your mother or grandfather from noble families?!”

 

Fortunately, Caroline accepted that I, a commoner, possessed attributes without any issue.

 

Even though I was clearly using black smoke and shadows that could be considered dark attributes, she didn’t seem to have any doubts about that aspect either.

 

Now that I think about it, all the protagonists from the original story were tolerant and naturally accepting of my abilities.

 

“That might be the case.”

 

“Whatever it is, it’s cool. Those countesses must have had their noses flattened for sure.”

 

Caroline, who only had defense and healing abilities, seemed to have been momentarily dismayed by their attacks.

 

Seeing her look at me with a bright smile, expressing how satisfying it was to have flattened their arrogance.

 

I wondered if Caroline had ever smiled with such an excited face before, and my eyes blinked rapidly for a moment.

 

“Mmph! Mmph mmph!”

 

“Mmmmph! Mmph!”

 

Florence and Leilani, hanging upside down due to my dark magic, twisted their bodies frantically, demanding to be let down.

 

I thought this was probably enough of a warning, so I should make the tree branches that had them hanging upside down disappear.

 

But before that, I was sure the two would attack again as soon as I let them down without giving up, so I bit my thumb that Caroline had healed and drew a defensive spell formation in the air.

 

Then when I released them, they began pouring attacks toward me without missing a beat, exactly as expected.

 

Of course, all those attacks were sucked into my black smoke hole.

 

“Still haven’t come to your senses. Want to be hung upside down again?”

 

At my words, the two finally thought better of it and stopped their attacks.

 

“If you promise to stay quiet, I’ll remove what’s gagging your mouths too.”

 

At my words, both of them nodded frantically.

 

As promised, I made the dark magic gagging their mouths disappear.

 

The two looked at me and shouted simultaneously.

 

“How did you use attribute abilities?!”

 

“Weren’t you a commoner?!”

 

“Oh my, countesses. Since when are we close enough for informal speech? Want to die?”

 

I had been speaking informally first, but since I won this childish fight, I’m allowed to do that.

 

At my strange way of speaking that was neither formal nor informal, the two looked at me with bewildered expressions for a moment before speaking to me formally.

 

“You can use attribute abilities? Dark attributes at that?”

 

“The Empire already has an Archduke with dark attributes, so how can you use the same attribute?”

 

“You’ll find out everything later, so don’t worry about it now. And if what you saw today reaches anyone else’s ears before His Majesty the Emperor makes an official announcement, it’ll be your doing, so be prepared to lose your heads if rumors spread.”

 

Just in case, I threatened them that if rumors about me using dark attributes spread, His Majesty the Emperor would cut off their heads and destroy their families before coming after me.

 

Since they were innocent young countesses who hadn’t reached adulthood yet, my threat worked very well.

 

“W-we won’t say anything.”

 

“Make sure Countess Caroline keeps quiet too, it might not be us but Countess Caroline who goes around blabbing…!”

 

“I don’t say things like that!”

 

“Don’t lie, you clearly look like you have a loose tongue.”

 

“My goodness, who’s saying that to whom? Don’t you look in mirrors?”

 

“Are you saying I look like I have a loose tongue right now?!”

 

Watching them start an argument about who looked more likely to spread rumors, I thought it would get noisier if I left them like this, so I clapped my hands a few times.

 

“That’s enough, everyone. Let’s solve the bed problem. So how do you want to use the window seats?”

 

At my words, Florence and Leilani looked at each other and exchanged glances.

 

Then Leilani looked at me and said.

 

“Actually, this side is one line, and that side is one line. So people who came together divide and use here and there…”

 

After saying it herself, she seemed embarrassed and smiled awkwardly without even finishing her sentence.

 

Right? You’re ashamed of what you did too, aren’t you?

 

I looked at the two who had tried to crush Caroline’s and my spirits over something so ridiculously trivial, made a disdainful expression, and sighed.

 

The two glanced at each other at the sound of my obvious sigh.

 

“Then you two use that side and we’ll use this side, just like at first. Honestly, having either of your beds close by would be uncomfortable.”

 

“W-we’d be uncomfortable too, you know?”

 

At my words, Leilani rolled her eyes once, then went to the opposite side and began unpacking her belongings.

 

She was naturally yielding the window seat to Florence.

 

Suddenly, I thought Caroline didn’t need to yield the window seat to me, so I looked at her and asked.

 

“You can sleep in the window seat if you want it.”

 

“Huh? No, I’m really fine.”

 

“No, I’m fine too, that’s why I’m saying this. I don’t necessarily need to sleep in the window seat…”

 

“You use it. I like it here!”

 

As soon as I finished speaking, Caroline said with a determined expression.

 

Since she was making such a firm expression, I couldn’t insist further and nodded.

 

“Alright then. I’ll use it well.”

 

“Yeah!”

 

‘Master.’

 

Just then, Pandeum, who had gone to find Lloyd, called me through my mind.

 

I came outside, saying I’d go out for a moment to focus on Pandeum and Lloyd’s conversation.

 

Behind me, Caroline shouted asking where I was going and whether she should follow, but I didn’t answer.

 

I didn’t have the leisure to answer because Pandeum’s voice was rushing into my mind frantically.

 

‘This human is incredibly arrogant. In all my life, this is the first time I’ve seen a human this arrogant.’

 

‘Well, he is His Highness the Crown Prince. But right now your voice…’

 

‘Don’t worry. It won’t reach the new contractor’s ears.’

 

‘You said we were connected together before.’

 

‘If I put my mind to it, separation is also possible. Only I can do it.’

 

Then I thought there was no need to summon Pandeum all the way here, and one eyebrow instinctively twitched upward.

 

‘Anyway, this guy, even if he were the Crown Prince’s grandfather rather than the Crown Prince, there’s never been a human with such a bad personality.’

 

It seemed Pandeum had met Lloyd and was astounded by his haughty and superior attitude.

 

Since Pandeum was also a king of a village, Lloyd’s arrogance must have been extremely irritating.

 

Lloyd was also someone born with sky-piercing arrogance, making it even worse.

 

I became a little worried that these two arrogant noble beings might end up fighting.

 

‘Anyway, are you with him now?’

 

‘We’re together.’

 

‘Then from now on, relay exactly what I say to His Highness.’

 

Starting with the oracle, I asked if it would be okay to let Theor and Greim know about Lloyd’s light attribute, as well as Perioze’s Sister who was qualified enough to be Lloyd’s supporter and Caroline whom Lloyd favored, to share this secret.

 

Then Lloyd’s words were conveyed through Pandeum.

 

‘He’s asking why Lady Perioze and Lady Caroline?’
