Let us turn back the clock a little bit.
Lute-kun are you okay? Should I slow down a bit?
I Im okay, I can still keep going.
We left ojou-sama to hold them back and cut through the forest.
My current magic power is at about a third left.
Even though Snow used magic while carrying the madam in her arms, I dont feel her magic power weakening.
This is the difference that having talent in magic makes..
The madam let out a worried sigh at us.
If this choker could be removed, I could also run with my own legs.
Dont be concerned, besides, we will be out of the forest soon.
Just like I said, we were finally out of the forest.
Jumping down from this vertical cliff, at the rendezvous point was a wagon stationed there.
Yoshi, just as we planned!
Inside the wagon, iya ca to et us.
Welco back Lute-sama! It seems you were able to rescue your benefactor safely.
iya, Ill leave it to you. Snow co help her. Right now we are in the middle of the operation, so will you two please cooperate?
Muu, I understand.
My warning was to Snow in particular.
She pouted at my warning.
While I let out a sigh, the coachman whip the horse.
There was no reason to stay in this place forever.
Inside the wagon, iya started a conversation with the madam.
Nice to et you madam, I am Lute-kuns first pupil iya Dragoon.
Thats very polite of you, Im Seras Gate Vlad. I thank you for your assistance. iya why is that genius magic tool developer is in the demon continent?
Everything is according to Lute-samas will..
Is iya-san also Lutes fiance?
En Engaged!? no, no, such dreadness! however if such thing was proposed could I possibly refuse? Rather, I dont have any reason to refuse!
iyas maiden face redden, and she fumbled around with her fingers.
No, enough with such talk, i wish you would start preparing to unfasten that magic prevention choker.
Muu~~~ thats wrong! This person is not Lute-kun fiancee! Dont say bad things about Lute-kun!
She was badmouthing Lute-kun, too!
Because of madams remark, Snow puffed her cheek.
Her remark also made iya collapse, like being hit in the head with a hamr.
UuUu, at that ti i have yet to be touched by Luke-samas magnificence, i was ignorant. anyway, now ill be removing madams choker.
Choker? but if its not unlocked with the key, the magical curse will kill l
However, if its left alone it will give away your location to the enemy.
Ooo, this choker also had that kind of functionality huh.
Yes, thats why I dont know when we are going to get attacked, so I need to remove it. Of course i am a genius follower of Lute-sama the magic tool developer iya Dragoon! This level of choker i could easily remove without any difficulty. Therefore do not be concerned.
However, she added.
Unlocking it would require approximately 30 minutes.
Even with iyas level of expertise in magical tools and the special tools prepared it would still take 30 minutes.
Of course its impossible for an amatuer to unlock a magic prevention choker.
Wont we get attacked while were doing that?
Its alright. Right now, Chrisse-chan is keeping the enemy at bay!
Snow energetically replied.
In madams expression float a hint of worry.
Not for her own safety, but for her daughter.
As I thought, that was not a mistake. Is that girl capable of keeping Gigi and the others at bay?
She can! Because Chrisse-chan had beco very strong!
To blow away madam worries, Snow cheerfully answered.
Both and Snow had the sa opinion.
Instead, Im worried that she went overboard.
I believe the talent ojou-sama has, was more than just what imagined.
Especially in night battles.
The way that she could shoot out targets even with only her normal non-body-strengthened eyesight in the dark was, in a word, shocking.
In the previous world, a U.S. army sniper that could snipe ga in the night is called a Vampire.
Ojou-sama, who demonstrated the most power in night warfare is definitely a Vampire
So, lets start. Could you please lie down?
As per iya instruction, madam lie down on the platform.
Light please.
With Snows magic, the wagon interior was illuminated.
iya begun to disassemble the choker with a tool in her hand.
- just as she declared, the choker was unlocked in 30 minutes.
She then casually threw out the choker
Lute-kun, signal Chrisse-chan to withdraw.
Leave it to .
Snow from the wagon stretch out her hand high.
A flashy bright magic explosion shot upward.
Around one hour later.
Gigi and the other, moved quickly toward the location of the magic prevention collar.
But, there they found only the magic prevention collar laying on the road.
They had let madam slip away.
The place we arrived in, is the residence of a magic stone dealer to whom iya is friendly with.
Coming back from the night battle, ojou-sama t her mother first ti in a few months.
Tsu!
Ojou-sama still in her field uniform, leapt straight for her mothers chest after not having seen her for a long ti.
Madam gently stroked her head.
Thank you Chrisse. For saving mother.
[Without everyones help, I can do nothing by myself.]
She wrote on the magic mini-blackboard.
Thats right, isnt it. Everyone, as representative of the Vlad house, I once again give you my thanks.
Madam lowered her head to us, , Snow and iya, in that place.
Madam, as a butler of the Vlad house, it was only the natural thing to do..
In that case, then the fact that our family was able to et with Lute was really a godsend.
I have sent out word to rry-san and the others about Madams safe extrication, but eting with them would have to wait until after the reconciliation. Its to prevent the enemy from finding out your whereabouts and coming to attack and abduct you and Ojousama again.
The enemy is detestable, but beyond the fact that there are those watching the family feud from the side, we cant afford to kill them all.
Now that there are no hostages on their side, they no longer had any hands to play.
After showing our power to deter them, we should find out Masters whereabouts, and then once again we entrust our self to Master.
Its so. Although, what is the plan from here on? As I am safe now, my husband will be able to use all his power, but I heard that he was sold as a slave to sowhere. We presently dont have the power to keep those people in check.
[Mother, do you know where father has been sold to?]
No, Im sorry, Im a powerless mother.
[Thats not true! But I wonder if father is okay]
You dont need to worry about that. Its him after all, even if he receive a body blow from a dragon, there wont be even a single scratch on him.
Uwaa, its so easy to imagine him to do that.
To change the atmosphere I spoke out.
Since we have ojousama as a deterrent there wont be any problems. Which is why I was thinking Id like to open up negotiations with the enemy soon.
Chrisse?
Yes. She is our deterrent, our trump card.
Lute turned to ojou-sama.
By the way ojou-sama, were there any problems with the sniper rifle you tried today?
[The bullets powder still felt a bit weak. The trigger weight was also a little bit on the soft side and the bullets were a bit off from what I imagined, so please make the adjustnts.]
Guh, ce certainly.
Though I only worked on it for a short ti, I did my best to complete the sniper rifle, but Ojousama still found things to criticize about it.
I understand. Then Ill make the adjustnts until the day of the reconciliation. For now, please assu you will be using the current gun for the performance.
[Okay.]
iya interrupted.
Its about ti for sunrise soon. Shall I prepare a hot bath or so food?
Ill take you up on your offer then. Please prepare a bath. Its been awhile since I had one with my daughter, you dont mind do you, Chrisse?
[Yes, mother.]
While smiling ojou-sama lifted up her mini board.
Allowing the mother-daughter pair to bond after their long separation, we took the tactful approach and left the room.
