The springâs flower has bloomed, filling the season with its illuminating light. How are you in this beautiful season? As for me,the people in my parentsâ house, the Count Lyran family, or to be precise, my step-mother, step-sister and step-father, are now entering the period of transforming into a monster with great vigour.
It seems there is a rotting squid monster, actively growing and threatening the life of a very young girl everyday. Therefore, in order to save this young girlâs life, I, Miltia, have decided to return to my parentsâ house at once.
I was told that if I return to my parentsâ house, the young girl, who was taken as a hostage, will be saved from her predicament. After all, sheâs in a life-threatening situation, to say the least.
Just to be safe, Iâve brought a lot of limestone powder with me since apparently the limestone powder works wonders to âsterilizeâ the squid monster.
I need to quickly go get myself kidnapped as soon as possible and for that, I truly apologize for any inconvenience and trouble Iâve caused to Maricle-sama.
In addition, Iâve put tonightâs dinner in theăspace-time storage boxăthat Iâve always used. Iâve made acqua pazza and added a lot of our seasonal shellfish in it. I hope you will be able to enjoy the dinner Iâve made together with Bhadra-sama.
Yours faithfully,
Miltia ă
âMILTIAAAAAAA!!!!â
After I finished reading the letter from Miltia, I unconsciously screamed her name loudly, causing Bhadra, Sheila and even Ars to start reading her letter out of curiosity.
ăăMILTIA-SAMAAAAAA!!!!!!ăă
And then, both Bhadra and Sheila screamed her name in unison too.
âNo, I mean? I⊠I should say something too right? But I donât know what to sayâŠ.â
Looking a little confused, Ars smiled and asked me that butâŠCould you not ask me that??
Ah, yes. Bhadra had shouted about half of the things I wanted to say.
âYOUNG MASTER!! After this, I will need to properly teach her HOW TO WRITE A LETTER!!â
âBHADRA-SAMA! Putting aside how Miltia-sama wrote the letter, arenât there much more urgent problems we need to address first?!â
True. Putting together the conversation I had with Soncho, who had rushed to this castle with that letter in hand, apparently Miltia had decided to return to her parentsâ house and for some reason, her family were in the middle of turning into a monster? So to protect a young girl, she was now on her way to her familyâs house?
Certainly, I did see her younger sister wearing the cursed necklace with the curse I had been under when I came to Count Lyranâs house before. I thought itâd be better if I kept this gruelsome fact away from Miltia but as it turned out, my decision had backfired.
Transforming into a monster⊠Miltia must be talking about the necklace.
Of course I already had a hunch about it and I held no different opinion from Bhadra. But still, it was way too dangerous to jump into a dangerous situation like that all by herself.
Just in case, I had ordered the engagement ring to be made urgently. We were accidentally able to use a trinity rose, a gemstone with the highest defensive characteristic and so it was safe to say her magic defence was pretty much flawless.
But on the other hand, that ring didnât possess a good physical defence characteristic.
If her opponent tried to harm her using magic, her opponent wouldnât be able to scratch her in the slightest but.. If they came charging to Miltia with a knife on hand⊠Miltia was as good as butter.
Her physical ability was about the level of an ordinary woman⊠No,most probably, she might be weaker than an ordinary woman because of how slender and petite she was.
It would be an easy feat for a grown man to restrain her by force⊠In fact, if there were several men⊠Itâd be easy for them to assault herâŠ.
BAM!!
I roughly shoved the desk I had been working on and began to walk away.
âMaricle? Where are you going?â
âDo you even need to ask? To where Miltia is of course!!â
