That night, after the underwater dungeon exploration and the trouble in the city with the girls, I didn't fall asleep. I thought that since we made another enemy, they will sooner or later come for us. If so, they will surely attack here. At the earliest, tonight.

I don't mind leaving everything to the girls, but I want to see if these thugs have some powerful backing behind them for them to be able to enter the city and do whatever they want.

And if they were actually sent here because one of the girls is being targeted, I need to find the one who hired them to do it.

From what I've seen this afternoon, none of the thugs and the people nearby watching has any explosive devices in their mouth. So, I guess they are not from the cult.

But just because they are not from the cult mean that they are not evil. There are too many evils in this world. And I won't deny if someone told me that I'm evil.

…alright, maybe I will.

And soon enough, I can see a group of people, numbered about a fifty, entering the city. It's more than twice the number of thugs from this afternoon. Some guards opened the door and those people entered the gate normally.

I guess it means that the guards are involved in this. Probably, some noble is also involved. That's why these thugs can easily enter the city and do whatever they like.

As for the reason… well, it has been more than a year since we stay here, so it's normal for noble who stays in this city to know about some of us. Especially the girls.

That noble might fancy any one of the girls, and wanted to bring her home. Or maybe everyone. So, he paid some thugs to do it for him.

Though it's just a guess.

Well, I'll see if it's true or not. I can just find the one who ordered this attack, or kidnapping attempt, and interrogate them. If they are really come from nobility, I will just get Albert here.

To hell with Albert's sleeping time. Everyone's safety is more important than his sleeping time.

In any case, I need to do some work. Some of the girls are my lovers after all.

I need to prepare a battlefield.

When I went down to the first floor, Lina was already there talking with Sonia.

"Sonia, some thugs entering the city. And they are probably coming here. Wake everyone up including Celestine and Veronica in the orphanage." Lina said.

"Okay. They will be here soon." Sonia said. Then she glanced at me and disappear.

Lina then finally noticed that I'm here.

"Master, are you going out?" Lina asked.

Even though our relationship should be lovers already, she still calls me as her master. I'll just leave it be, but Victoria keep making fun of me thinking that it's some kind of fetish.

Even if it's a fetish, it's not mine! It's Lina's!

Anyway, she knows about the thugs entering the city thanks to Elsie, the All-seeing Eye.

Lina had both her summons to stay in the building. Elsie looks a bit disgusting, so she was put in Lina's room while Sunny is in the entrance of this building.

…does an eyeball have gender?

"Yeah. We can't disturb the neighbor after all. I'll make sure that they won't wake up until sunrise. I'll leave everything here to you and the others. No mercy. Once everything is over, gather all the corpses in one place, and I will take care of the cleanup. I need to see if there is someone behind this." I said.

"Understood. Be careful, Master."

"You memorized the codes we agreed on, right? We're in the city and Sonia is here with us, but just in case I can't contact Sonia, I will make some hand signal within Elsie's and my sight."

Then Victoria interjected.

"She might have memorized the code, but I doubt you have." Victoria said.

"I have you to cover me in that area in case I forgot something." I said with a smile.

Then I left the house and went to all the nearby houses to use sleeping gases on the neighbor. This way, they won't wake up until morning tomorrow. Unless something big happening.

Then I went to hide and see how the situation unfold.

In the park, only Lina, Celestine, and Veronica preparing to greet the guests. As for the others, they just watched from the window. How fast will it end?

Then all the fifty thugs seeing that the three beauties outside the house, they approached them with lecherous smiles. If I was there, I would have cut off their head already.

Well, I don't have to worry about them. I just need to take care of those who are not going to the park. The one who have just arrived, and watching the situation calmly. Did he really think that it's safe?

I'll keep watch on him, and let him escape once the thugs in the park have been taken care of. There's a chance that he might escape to the one who gave the order in case they are really being paid for it.

So, I gave a signal by gesturing my hand to show Elsie that it's fine to kill everyone. I also gave the signal that I will leave for a while, and to not wait for me to return.

Lina who received the signal from Elsie, looked my way, smiled, and nodded. Now, I just need to watch this guy.

...….

In the park next to Roy's and the others' house, the thugs have arrived.

"Hahaha! Don't tell me you're here to greet us! Well, I don't mind. But what about the others? Are they home? Don't worry, after the three of you, we will capture the others as well. He promised that we can have fun with everyone other than the target! Ahahaha!" The man laughed.

The three girls didn't care about the man. They just waited for Roy's order.

Then, Elsie who is inside the house, gave a signal to Lina that it's fine to kill everyone, and that Roy will be away for a while.

Lina then looked at the direction where Roy is, and smiled telling him that it will be fine.

"Why are you looking away? Don't tell me that you're praying for someone to safe you!? Is he your boyfriend? The one who stays in the house with you? Don't worry, we will return you to him after we're done with you. Though your body and your mind might be broken by then. Hahaha!"

All of the thugs laughed. They don't care about the noise they made. It was because they were hired by a noble in the city, who has bribed the guards to not patrol this area.

Roy was right that it was a noble who targeted the girls. As for the girls in question, it was Shirley. The princess of the kingdom. Though the noble himself doesn't know that Shirley is actually the princess. He just wants her because of her beauty.

He was also entranced by other girls, but for him, Shirley is the number one. So, he hired these thugs and told them that they are free to do whatever they want with other girls.

What the noble and these thugs doesn't know is… they are trying to attack the strongest girls in the kingdom.

"Lady Celestine, Lady Veronica, Master said that we can kill them all without mercy. Then, I'll return home. Best of luck you two." And Lina calmly walk back home, ignoring the thugs.

"Well, Celestine, I think it's too much if both of us fight them. Let's decide on just one of us to do it." Veronica suggested.

"Let's do it together instead. I'll attack all of them right away, you'll attack those who dodged my attack. That way, it will be over in a second." Celestine said.

"Let's do that then."

Meanwhile, the thugs were angered to see that Lina just walked back home nonchalantly.

"Hey! Where are you going!? I won't let you go home! I'll make sure all of you will… what the hell?"

The lecherous smile of the thug, turned into despair in an instant.

Before he finished his sentence, Celestine, who has learned about magic control slightly, split the earth. A lot of the thugs fall into the crevice except the man who was talking and some others who were able to fly and noticed the danger.

Then, Celestine pressed the earth strongly, and all those who have fallen inside the crevice were crushed to their death and buried right away.

Then, those who managed to dodge Celestine attack, realized that they are too weak against the two ladies. They instantly tried to escape, but Veronica precisely cut them with Wind Slashes, stronger than the Wind Shield that the thugs have created to protect themselves.

No one survive except for the thug who talked since he's not being targeted. The man dropped on his knees in despair, while the two ladies approaching him.

"What should we do to him? Roy said that we can just kill him, right?" Celestine asked.

"I guess it's fine to kill him. But Kayla said that there's something she want to try. She wanted to test her interrogating skill." Veronica said.

Then the both of them looked at the window which Kayla is peeking from. She's the only one who is still watching while the others already no longer care since it was done quickly.

Kayla shook her head. Telling the two that the guy is not good to interrogate.

"Well, I guess his luck has run out then." Veronica said as she swung her hand and slashed the man with magic.

"Haha. I guess this will be the only thing in our lives that will still be similar to when we were in the cult. Killing assholes like these. Well, I'll go gather all the corpses and put them somewhere for Roy to take care of." Celestine said as she opened up the ground again, and rise the corpses and move them with earth magic to gather them in one spot, before covering them to make sure that no one can notice them.

As for Veronica, she casted wind magic to make the air flow and make the smell of blood disappear.

Thus, that's the end of the thugs in just a few second. While no one in the city realize that something is happening.

"He said he has a target, right? What if the one who hired them won't give up?" Celestine asked.

"Isn't that why Roy is leaving? You don't know yet how strong he is, so I guess that's why you're worried. Don't worry. He's not just strong. He's also tricky. I bet before the sunrise; he will return. Let's go back to sleep." Veronica said.

Just like Veronica said, Roy is busy chasing after the man who comes to watch the thugs capturing the girls.

And Roy will never forgive anyone who tried to mess with him or his people. Especially if they tried to capture his lovers.
