Chapter 111

Translator: apinklover Editor: apinklover

Ah! Is this…?

“No, don’t be scared, relax! We don’t wanna hurt you.”

“Well, as long as you do what we tell you, that is.”

You know, there are people like this everywhere. They mess with girls in sneaky alleys and some even go on to being borderline criminals!

What a cliché. I really hope the author grows his creativity if this were a novel.

“So, ladies? We won’t scare you if you just stay kind, okay?”

“Hehe, right. We just want to have fun with other lonely men and women. You’ve got two and we’ve got two! What nice pairs?”

What the hell… When did I tell you that you could say this shit?

“Wh-what now, Athy?”

I suddenly felt her grab onto my arm. Her hand was shaking seemingly from her scared emotions.

I thought of Jennette who stood in front of me when having to deal with the blackies but I think things have changed since then.

“Oh, you’re especially pretty, aren’t you?”

“Fweee. We’re gonna take care of you extra carefully.”

Mmm. The way they look at her is kinda disgusting. I mean what explicit attention would Jennette have gotten while she was stuck in the mansion?

And she was getting all the attention since I still had the face-morph charm applied.

“Wh-what’s wrong?”

“Don’t worry. You just need to trust us!”

Oh, shut the hell up. Don’t you know that the trustworthiness meter for ‘Just trust us’ converges to zero? And you look like a hell of a criminal duo!

I was baffled by the first impressions of the thugs of this world, then ‘Vwooop!’ breathed in as hard as I could as they approached me. Then I screamed as loud as I could with all the strength focused on my stomach.

The criminal duo hesitated as I started to scream like a mad bitch.

“You ——ing ——! Stay the —— away from us or else!”

I cursed as hard I ever could and if they weren’t redacted for publishing, you’d probably be impressed too.

“Do you want me to —— your —— — up? You sons of ——! How ——ing dare you try to —— with us?”

I’m the crazy bitch in the house! I started to spit out curse words like Eminem on a rapper diss spree.

“——ing ——ers! Go have your —— —— beaten up like a —— ——, you ———!

The duo was confused by my swear word machine gun.

Have you heard of any Atlantan profanity, ——s? Have a load of this advanced vocabulary!

Ah… It feels like a burden I’ve carried on my back for a decade’s been finally lifted.

“A… Athy…”

Crap. I’ve completely forgotten Jennette standing right next to me.

Hehe, Athy doesn’t know a word she just said!

“What the fu—!”

“Do you think you’ll still be alive after this?”

They started to countercurse as their veins bulged from rage.

But their puny dictionary of profanity couldn’t even make a dent in my ego.

You’ve got a long, long way to go if you want to at least rival me!

I raised my hands against the thugs charging at me. Then I poured all of my magic charged up onto what I was holding and thrust it towards them.

Thwack!

“Gruuuunt…!”

“Whoops! I’m sorry for the candy punch!”

A candy the size of my head flew toward Thug 1’s crotch and hit him directly in the balls. The red sunset scattered as the candy broke apart into a million pieces.

Thug 1 let out a horrible yell and started to foam up. His accomplice stared blankly as he fell to the ground.

“Oh, looks like I have another one!”

As I recited the horrifying line, Thug 2 was mortified as he shuddered in fear. I took the candy in Jennette’s hand and concentrated my magic into it as well.

Time for my catchphrase!

“Here’s a bit of justice for you! Go, CANDY☆CRUSH!

THWACK!

“Gruuunt…”

Shatter! The bits of candy scattered across the setting sun with elegant refractions. Thug 2 also fell to the ground, like his friend.

“No… My balls…”

Thump!

Thug 2, however, unlike his friend, let out his final will right before fainting as if he was a little bit more resilient.

Trash has been taken care of!

I brushed off and turned my head towards Jennette, blankly staring at the scene.

“Ms. Margaret, take my hand!”

“Uh, okay! Ahh!”

We teleported away from the alley, leaving behind a miniature prism of scattered candy bits.

* * *

“I hope we’re not late!”

What a wonderful day!

I managed to return safely to the mansion with Jennette. I probably should’ve beaten the living hell out of them even more but eh, whatever.

I really hope Jennette doesn’t develop a fear of going outside after these shenanigans…

“Chuckle…”

I heard a faint noise coming right next to me. Huh? It sounds like someone’s trying to hold in a laugh.

“Bwahahahaha!”

I heard a peal of bright laughter as I turned my head towards Jennette. It was her, so delighted that she even let out a teeny bit of tears.

“Hehehe… Now, this is a first for me.”

She told me after wiping her tears of joy from her face. Maybe it was freshly satisfying for her to see me take care of the thugs in such a humorous manner.

Cough. It was the CANDY☆CRUSH attack that did it, maybe. I was really worried that tonight’s experience was going to leave a scar in her mind.

“Ah, it was really satisfying.”

After she calmed down, she showed a subtle smile and continued her remarks. I didn’t know Jennette was such a thrill-seeker!

“It felt like I was trapped in hell a few days ago.”

That made me unable to think about what to say next.

“But after I met you, it became heaven.”

Rumble, the innocent girl lashes a look! It’s a critical hit! But the opposing Athanasia doesn’t seem to have a plan!

“Thanks for everything today, Princess. It was my first time having such fun.”

I struggled to keep my heart straight but I pulled off a reply.

“Oh, there’s a lot more to come.”

It feels good to finish her clandestine outing up so nicely.

“Don’t forget about the fireworks!”

As I spoke with a smile, she looked back at me with a warm smile as well. We agreed to meet on the final day of the Celebration and parted ways.

“Your majesty, it looks like the mysterious accidents happening around the continent have finally come to a halt.”

Felix reported his findings to Claude in the dimly lit room.

“It’s a relief that the natural disasters were only temporary. I was really worried about all the letters my people have been sending us, your majesty.”

He really was relieved to hear the news.

He seemed to be in a lot of distress because of the spontaneous incidents happening all around the continent. It was pretty obvious he was relieved to see all the rockfall, flooding and abnormal weather suddenly go away.

“Do you really think those spontaneous incidents are natural?”

But then Claude, resting his chin on his hand, spoke with an indifferent tone. Felix was surprised to hear what he said.

“Your majesty, do you mean someone caused those incidents?”

“That, I do not know.”

“But your majesty, didn’t…”

“That was the only speculation. And aren’t those apparently gone now?”

“That is true, your majesty.”

“Then be off, your duties are done.”

Felix closed his mouth, looking at Claude close his eyelids on the chair.”

It was fairly deep into the night but Claude didn’t look like he was going to get any kind of good sleep tonight. To be fair, who in their right minds would be able to sleep tight after losing their daughter…”

“Your majesty, we may be able to track her down since everyone’s on the lookout for her.”

“…….”

“…”

“Please, your majesty, get some rest.”

But Claude didn’t move a muscle. Frankly, Felix told Claude to rest even though he knew he wasn’t going to be able to convince Claude. But he had to say something to somewhat relieve his deep mood.

Claude, with his eyes shut, calmly told Felix after a bit of silence.

“Leave.”

Felix left the room as Claude ordered him.

After a while, he looked back at the Emerald Palace where Claude was in. Claude’s practically made this palace, originally Athanasia’s, his new home.

Felix’s face suddenly turned gloomy.

‘Where can you possibly be, Princess…”

With no one to answer him, he could only turn back as his mind filled with frustration.

“My ears are burning…”

Lucas looked around, itching his ear.

He was at a black tower, abandoned for decades. It soared into the sky in the subtle moonlight, as if you could almost touch the clouds up in it.
