One of the knights who had been staying close by to escort the Emperor’s eyes flashed.

“Ability ram, rampage… isn’t it?”

It was a typical ability rampage symptom.

For some unknown reason, it seemed the Grand Duke of Kairozen’s body was in an uncontrolled state.

‘Yes, that’s right. Certainly.’

Raphael was also certain.

This vivid sensation was a sign of rampage.

However, naturally, he hadn’t come to this party without any preparation either.

He had set it up so that a teleport scroll would automatically activate in case of a rampage.

Whether I die or survive, so that no harm comes to others.

“I will be moving, so everyone step back.”

Raphael quietly watched as countless people retreated from him, as those escorting the Emperor drew their swords and surrounded him.

Along with the familiar gazes looking at him like a monster, he barely managed to escape the party hall.

He couldn’t go far. But it didn’t matter.

Right after entering the balcony, he immediately raised his hand and searched his inner pocket.

‘When there are rampage symptoms, leave places where people are. After leaving, teleport to somewhere with no one around.’

It was a kind of ‘rampage manual’ he had created like brainwashing himself since childhood.

But it was when he reflexively pulled out a scroll from one side of his chest.

Someone quickly entered the empty balcony.

“No, honey!”

…No, that wasn’t right.

Not everyone had fled.

…The woman who had been laughing with other noble ladies in the distance had instantly rushed to the balcony where he was.

In his vision that had darkened to gray, the only person running toward him like a sparkling light.

Serenthia, it was that woman.

Raphael felt Serenthia’s voice scattering in the air.

Conversely, the woman’s gentle purple eyes and warm lips approached close to him.

She firmly grasped Raphael’s hand.

As if believing that doing so would make his dark blue mist disappear.

Even though that couldn’t be possible, as if she wasn’t afraid at all.

“You have no, countermeasures, at all…”

“Why wouldn’t I have countermeasures! I was going to tell you later!”

…It was a lion’s roar loud enough to clear his muffled ears.

“You absolutely must not die! Honey!”

“…”

“If you’re going to die, you have to listen to my confession first.”

Madness gleamed thickly in Serenthia’s eyes.

Even while enduring the signs right before rampage, Raphael almost made an absurd expression.

‘Anyway, really a crazy woman…’

But hemoptysis occurred to the point where he couldn’t speak.

At this rate, he might kill others.

“…Get, away.”

While he still had his reason, he had to push this woman away.

Then he had to use the teleport scroll…

But Serenthia absolutely would not be pushed away.

Instead, she tightly grasped Raphael’s hand.

“Deep breathing, first.”

“…”

“First of all, take deep breaths…”

Does she think this is some ordinary illness?

However, surprisingly, when he took deep breaths, a strange sensation arose as if he was getting just a little, tiny bit better.

Just from one warmth touching his fingertips, the strange feeling of his body becoming lighter.

The feeling as if clear sounds were coming back to his hearing that had been submerged underwater and only muffled.

When Raphael gave no response, Serenthia said with a tearful expression.

“I, I’m really not telling you to die. You have to live happily with me for a hundred years… Raphael…! Honey!”

After those words ended, the dark blue mist that had been rippling on Raphael’s back cleared.

Even when he was trapped in the dark blue mist, only this woman somehow came to him and extended her hand.

This woman is ordinary. She’s not someone with the power to calm rampages. She’s nothing at all. And yet…

Raphael said what this woman would want to hear most.

“…Stop with the honey.”

“Wh, what do you mean!”

Serenthia’s face turned red and blue.

‘…No? I thought she liked it.’

A faint smile appeared on his lips.

It was a change even he wasn’t aware of.

No, Serenthia might not know either. Since her lips were pouting as if upset.

“No, even in this situation? Please just go along with it!”

He muttered dully.

“Because I don’t like hearing the word honey.”

Instead of arguing with his words, Serenthia suddenly embraced him.

“I don’t want to, I’ll keep calling you honey!”

And, gradually…

Light flowed in.

Through Serenthia’s hands, her body, or perhaps…

Into the air.

At that moment, the rampage stopped.

…Probably.

He had spent his entire life trying not to rampage.

Always recalling Father’s voice saying you will end up killing people,

He had struggled desperately like that…

Rampage, as it turned out, wasn’t such a big deal.

***

However, anyway, nearly rampaging near the Emperor was an enormous incident.

The calmed Raphael was moved to the Imperial Palace’s private chamber and began receiving detailed treatment.

As if handling a critically ill patient, Raphael lay in the bedroom beyond the partition wall of the sealed room.

Serenthia wailed as if the world had collapsed.

“Oh my, oh myyyy…”

“I’m not dead.”

Raphael was thinking of discussing with Serenthia about the power that had been absorbed earlier.

But Serenthia was well…

“Sob, sniff. Still. We haven’t even been on many dates yet, haven’t gone on lovey-dovey picnics…”

…She seemed to be focused on venting her own grievances rather than that.

“We haven’t even kissed yet…!”

At those words, Raphael’s facial muscles changed subtly.

He said.

“Stop.”

“Sniff… I was worried you might pass away…”

…This woman seems to have no idea what she just did.

Raphael stared intently at Serenthia’s hand gripping his collar, at her expression.

3 seconds.

Observing her purple eyes, Raphael quickly made his judgment.

“It seems like you’re indulging your personal desires right now.”

At those words, Serenthia’s forced wailing abruptly stopped.

“You’re quite perceptive, as expected.”

Raphael ended up with a dumbfounded expression.

“Still, I’m glad you’re alive!”

“…Right, wait a moment.”

“Yes?”

“Your hand, again.”

Serenthia extended her hand again. Raphael slowly grasped her hand.

‘Definitely, the feeling seemed different earlier.’

The power that had flowed from him just before his rampage. That power seemed to have been connected to her…

And…

‘It had been absorbed by Serenthia, and that rampage completely stopped.’

However, more absurd than all these strange and suspicious circumstances was…

Raphael gazed at Serenthia and asked.

“Your body.”

“Yes?”

“Are you okay?”

…the fact that he was worried about this woman’s body.

“Yes. I’m fit enough to compete in an ironman triathlon.”

This woman’s answer… was far too spirited.

Despite her words, Raphael deliberately observed Serenthia calmly.

“Still, get examined by a doctor.”

“Yes…”

The woman’s nose was red and her eyes were flushed, but she showed no symptoms of coughing up blood or anything similar.

‘Not bad.’

…He wasn’t hearing voices, and he wasn’t seeing hallucinations either.

Before his eyes was this woman.

It could be said to be quite a satisfactory state.

But just one thing.

“Don’t cry.”

“Yes?”

Raphael raised his hand to wipe her eyes, then hesitated.

Making contact with this woman’s body.

The moment he became conscious of ‘contact,’ his heart pounded frantically.

The ticking sound from the watch on his wrist grew louder.

So this was…

As far as he knew, a different kind of danger from rampage.
