Chapter 70 : Lifesaver
“This….this pervert!”
“Whatever you say…oh dear. I’m sure that dragon will eventually destroy this castle, and until then, let’s both hide somewhere…guaa!??”
She was so irritated by his smirk as he brought his face close to hers, so she unhesitatingly slammed her right fist, which barely moved freely, into the tip of Braulio’s nose.
Amalia, a non-combatant who cannot use black magic or physical enhancement magic, may not be able to use her arm strength, but it was an attack at close range, and after all, Braulio is a feeble man.
‘Go..!?’
While his scrawny body wobbled, Amalia tried to crawl away with both arms, but following a shuddering sound, her arms were now stuck, and she was slumped down on the ground.
Braulio wiped his own mouth with his fist and glared down at Amalia in annoyance.
“Really…it is no wonder, you are such a wild horse that no one wanted such a wife. I don’t intend to make you my wife either, but I will take you as a resource, so be thankful!”
“I’m not at all happy――”
Her mouth stopped moving in the end. It’s really hateful that this man, who has a feeble body that he could lose to Amalia in a serious contest of strength, but the way he was smiling while using his magic to overpower her was absolutely loathsome.
‘In this case, I can only hope that Yugo finds me as soon as possible…!’
Perhaps Yugo only knows that Amalia is somewhere in this castle. But as long as he does not know where she is, he should not attack unnecessarily.
There is a flickering golden light dancing outside the window from earlier, and the sound of something being destroyed. But none of them were far from this Oval Office.
Suddenly, Braulio squatted down, turning Amalia’s prone body onto her back and staring at her body. It was as if she was being licked all over, and even though she was not being touched, a chill ran through her skin.
Braulio seemed to be thinking about something for a while.
But then suddenly, he reached out with his hand and―― with no questions asked―― he grabbed Amalia’s left breast.
‘Gi…! Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!??’
Without letting out her voice, she let out a bunch of exclamations in her mind, with both her eyes open.
She hasn’t had her breast squeezed since she held a baby in her arms at the orphanage and was touched for milk. At that time, she was a little surprised but not disgusted, and she couldn’t help but smile at the baby’s instinctive behavior.
But this time she is dealing with an adult, a man, and a type of person who is physically incapable of many things.
‘I hate it…! What is this guy…! He’s beyond perverted…!’
Amalia was writhing in tears, but Braulio was thinking about something while holding Amalia’s chest. He touched her all over her body, taking advantage of the fact that Amalia could not move.
“Strange…I don’t sense any magic from you right now. It seems that you can only display it when you are making a cup of tea. So that would be…”
Braulio is mumbling to himself. Not only were her breasts squeezed and her body stroked, but her pride as a woman was in tatters when she was told that it was only for research.
‘I hate it…! If only I could fight back, if only I could use black magic, I’d obliterate this pervert into charcoal…!’
Amalia felt nauseous as Braulio’s hands caressed her entire body, and then――
The door opened.
In the next instant, a gust of wind blew through the air, blowing away the Braulio that was hovering over Amalia, and then she heard a pleasant sound as the back of his head hit the table.
‘…eh?’
Perhaps because the caster was attacked, the ice magic that was restraining Amalia’s body until then, thawed, causing her to slump and relax.
“Amalia-san!”
Amalia’s stunned body was picked up and was pulled into someone’s chest.
A nostalgic smell. A pleasant body temperature.
“…Leo-nardo…?”
“Yes!”
That person who hugged Amalia―― Leonardo answered as he embraced Amalia firmly with one arm.
Amalia was startled, however, when Braulio, who had been leaning against the table, grunted, then raised himself up, and quickly raised both his hands toward them.
‘Black magic…!’
Amalia was not prepared for this, and Leonardo had no magic resistance at all. If they were to be struck by magic at such close range, Leonardo would be――.
“No…! Leona――!”
Hearing Amalia’s exclamation, Leonardo turned around. He pulled out the sword from his waist and held it perpendicular to the floor.
Boom, a burst of sound hit her eardrums, and Amalia stopped breathing for a moment.
She was surprised to hear the sound, and couldn’t believe what she had just seen.
‘Yes, Leonardo just dealt with the black magic with his sword――!?’
The whole thing cannot be seen perfectly because of the blast, but surely, Leonardo swung his sword and sliced through the pale blade that braulio had unleashed.
Braulio stood stunned as the blue light fizzled and glittered in the air and disappeared.
He, too, did not expect his magic to be dispelled by the sword.
“What…!? What the hell is going on?!”
“…I thought about when I fought Esmeralda earlier, but it really had a great effect.”
Leonardo also stared at the blade sullenly. It was surprising that he was able to cut through powerful magic, but there was no edge damage on the blade at all.
“…eh? That, Esmeralda…”
“Ah, yes. I met him in the hallway earlier and she unleashed her black magic on me without warning, so I fought her back the same way.”
After saying this in a casual manner, Leonardo suddenly narrowed his eyes and readied his sword―― cutting down Braulio’s red flame with a single stroke.
Leonardo lowered his sword with a crisp sound as red light particles danced around.
“It’s useless, don’t try anymore…no human magician can defeat this sword.”
“…are you kidding me! Return my research subject!”
“…research subject?”
The air around Leonardo turned cold.
He tightened his hold on Amalia just once, then released her hand, then slowly walked towards Braulio with a sword in hand.
Amalia, who was leaning against the wall in a daze, could only see Leonardo’s back, but she seemed to be aware of the tremendous anger that was brewing from him.
“…what did you just say? Are you talking about Amalia-san?”
“…ah, that’s right! That’s the best research subject I’ve ever found! What are you doing―― uh, gahh?!”
“Eh, is this enough to bring you down? Even if you’re a magician, you should work out a little.”
In the middle of his words, Leonardo grabbed him and hit him with the hilt of his sword, and Braulio was easily knocked out of the air.
Leonardo, who had knocked him out, seemed more surprised at his weakness. Leonardo then crouched down in front of Braulio, who was crawling on the floor.
――Amalia doesn’t know what he was doing.
But with a low mutter, accompanied by a groan from Braulio, he hit Braulio’s head again with the sword. Then Leonardo turned around as Braulio fell.
As usual, with a gentle and dependable smile on his face, he put away his sword and rushed over to Amalia, and said, “I’m sorry” as he lifted her up.
“Eh !? ah, that, Leonardo…”
“We have no use for this place anymore. Let’s leave the rest to the others and retreat.”
“Others…oh”
Amalia was carried by Leonardo. They went out into the hallway, she looked around at those who had just climbed up the stairs.
The maids and guards came while shouting, “Amaria-sama!”, “Are you safe!?” Seeing Juana and Lorenza standing at the front of the group, her eyes felt hot.
“Leonardo-dono, you rescued Amalia safely, didn’t you?”
“Yes, thank you all very much for your help…the others are on their way to pick us up, so we’re going to have to withdraw a step in advance.”
“Yes, we’ll take care of the rest.”
Lorenza, who exchanged words with Leonardo, looked back and instructed, “This is the order of His Majesty the King! Capture the Black Magician Braulio!” So the guards rushed into the room at once.
Amalia watched the whole thing in amazement. But when Lorenza looked at her, she narrowed her eyes slightly and the maids bowed in unison.
“…it was a pleasure to spend time with you, even if it was only for five days…we will take care of the rest.”
“…everyone.”
“You have been kind to us. We simply return the favor now…please take care of Amalia-sama, Leonardo-dono.”
“Ah…thank you so much, everyone.”
Leonardo nodded firmly, and then returned their salute. As Juana and the others became smaller and smaller, Amalia couldn’t help but let out a short, “Ah…”
“It’s all right, Amalia-san. You will see them again.”
“…realy?”
“Yes, as long as you stay alive.”
Leonardo said softly, and Amalia gulped and looked up. Then she stretched out toward where Juana and the others were and took a breath.
“…thank you so much, everyone…! I couldn’t return anything…but thank you, everyone!”
“…yes! Be careful, Amalia-sama!”
Juana responded by raising her voice. Amalia squeezed Leonardo’s shoulder and leaned back quietly.
Leonardo smiled broadly and kicked open the door at the end of the hallway. Beyond it was a balcony, and a dusty breeze tickled Amalia’s hair.
