I just hope to live a leisurely life in the world of anime.

But it had no effect whatsoever!

Elsa touched her waist three times in quick succession, with three crisp sounds corresponding to each one, and the speed remained unchanged!

"An Shujun! The kid you know and my daughter are about to die here! Aren't you going to lend a hand?!"

In this emergency, Parker couldn't care less about anything else and shouted Anshu's name for help!

"That's enough!"

An Shu hasn't appeared yet!

But just then, an ordinary knight's sword fell from the sky and pierced Elsa's eyes, forcing her to stop moving!

The owner of the knight's sword had a cheerful and gentle voice, which subtly reflected his personality and was clearly not An Shu!

###Chapter 134 It's a pity they're a pair of Aces, we can't afford them###

A straight figure broke through the roof and landed next to the knight's sword.

"The roof that was just repaired last month after Ferut damaged it..."

Grandpa Rom, still panting, watched him land, his eyes twitching.

"I'm sorry, sir! I'll make it up to you later!"

The person who came over clearly heard his mutterings and, feeling somewhat embarrassed, offered an apology.

Being suddenly interrupted in an attack feels as unpleasant as using the wrong force, like punching the air!

An unhappy Elsa took one look at him and immediately recognized the person in front of her. "Oh my, you're from the 'Sword Saint' family? The knight among knights, Reinhard van Arestedia!"

"Since I've been recognized, I won't introduce myself anymore, even though it's a bit impolite..."

Reinhard shrugged, then changed the subject, "I'd heard that someone like the Gut Hunter had infiltrated the capital, and it turns out it's true. Looks like today's trip wasn't in vain. You'd better surrender, because I have some questions for you."

Natsuki Subaru, who was standing behind and talking without any sense of the situation, couldn't help but complain and whispered to Emilia, "Are all the knights here so temperamental?"

Who is this guy? Why is he so fierce? He's trying to persuade me to surrender right off the bat?

“If it’s Reinhard, then there’s no problem!” She replied without hesitation, showing complete trust in the red-haired knight.

"Why do you say that?" Natsuki Subaru, who had misunderstood, asked sourly.

Emilia shook her head, pointed in the direction where they were confronting each other, and offered no further explanation.

Was I being underestimated?

Elsa asked with a smile, but the curved sword that flew from her hand was not as friendly as she appeared.

The scimitar flew past in an arc, arriving in front of Reinhard in the blink of an eye!

Without Reinhard making any move, the curved blade, which was supposed to hit its mark, inexplicably veered off course and ended up diagonally stuck near Subaru's feet, much to his displeasure!

Hey! You two, watch your fight!

"Excuse me, sir!"

Taking off the cumbersome black robe, Elsa clasped her hands together, saying this while still smiling, "Next time I'll definitely cut open your stomach accurately."

She spoke fluently and naturally, as if it were as ordinary as eating or sleeping, despite what was clearly terrifying!

Natsuki Subaru shuddered in fright, only then remembering that this guy was capable of defeating that big old man, and shrank back.

“I don’t want to hit a girl, especially since there’s a girl I care about here! I don’t want to leave a bad impression on her!” Reinhardt said with a hint of helplessness as he gripped the hilt of his sword.

Natsuki Subaru, already somewhat sensitive, misunderstood even more! Who was the girl he cared about? Emilia?

Watching his retreating figure, a sense of crisis flickered in Natsuki Subaru's eyes. Hmm, this guy is no good!

Be more careful in the future!

Reinhard, who was on high alert, was unaware that he had been labeled, but even if he did, given his personality, he would probably just laugh it off.

Elsa ignored his words, reached for her waist, and pulled out a knife from somewhere. "A blessing that ranged attacks can't hit is truly amazing! Even more interesting than the rumors! But aren't you going to use the sword at your waist?"

“I really want to fight alongside it!” Reinhard said with some distress. “However, it doesn’t seem willing to draw its sword. Luckily, I was prepared and brought an ordinary one with me.”

"Just this piece of scrap metal?" Elsa seemed disdainful, but her tense body betrayed her.

"Respect all weapons!"

Reinhard simply responded to her sharp sarcasm with a curt remark and remained motionless.

This isn't arrogance, it's simply ladies first!

Elsa certainly wouldn't hold back. She used all her strength to run quickly in the large space that was cleared after the other unrelated people left, waiting for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack!

How fast exactly? Subaru Natsuki's eyes couldn't even catch a glimpse of her afterimage!

"Great Elf!" Reinhard cried out as she surrounded him and passively took the attack, but it didn't sound like she was asking for help.

"I understand!" the kitten, who had been watching the commotion from the sidelines, replied, indicating its understanding.

"Lia!" It flew back to Emilia's side and reminded her again, "Be careful from now on! Don't be afraid, An Shu-jun is here with you!"

“I understand!” Emilia nodded and pulled a pendant from her chest.

“Hmm.” Parker didn’t waste any more words and transformed into a stream of light, entering the pendant.

"Huh?" Natsuki Subaru, who was watching from the side with a gentle and delicate expression, was a little confused and scratched the back of his head with a puzzled look.

"This is where Parker usually lives. Parker needs a lot of magic to manifest his form and cannot maintain it all the time. He usually goes inside to rest except for the time between 9 am and 5 pm."

Now Reinhard is about to make his move. Once he does, the magic in the air will no longer care about us, so Puck needs to go inside and rest for a bit!

Of course, if it were Parker's original form... well, never mind, there's no point in talking about that.

Emilia carefully explained it to Subaru Natsuki, ignoring his half-understanding look, and then shouted to Reinhard on the other side, "That's enough!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the air instantly became tense!

A burst of blue light shot into the sky from Reinhard's body! It was magic so thick it was almost dripping!

"You think you can take me down in one move?"

Elsa, who had just managed to slash him twice when she caught him off guard, began to look serious. Her instincts told her that things were about to get ugly!

Reinhard raised his knight's sword, which had just developed a nick, and warned, "Be careful!"

boom--

The enormous roar shocked the surroundings, and a beam of blue light illuminated the sky under the setting sun!

As his vision gradually returned, Natsuki Subaru couldn't hold back the tears welling up in his eyes. "So this really is the protagonist, huh?"

He felt a sense of powerlessness. He was the one who had transmigrated! Why didn't he even have a basic cheat ability? He couldn't even fool a stupid old man!

"I've forced you to do this. Rest in peace!"

Reinhard bid farewell to the iron sword in his hand, which could no longer withstand the force of the attacks and gradually turned to ashes.

After circling around for a while and finding no trace of Elsa, not even her presence, they relaxed their guard and created a small healing spell on the spot to help everyone dispel their discomfort.

"Excuse me, are you alright?"

"Everyone's alright, but my house!" Regaining his senses, Mr. Rom couldn't take the shock. His heart pounded. "You can hit me all you want! Why are you demolishing my house?!"

"I'm so sorry, old man, I'll make it up to you many times over... Lady Emilia! Watch out!"

It was his own fault to begin with, so Reinhard adopted a serious attitude and quickly rummaged through his pockets. Just as he was about to take out his coins, he suddenly noticed something, his pupils contracted, and he rushed over in one stride.

Ding--

Subaru Natsuki lost count of how many times he had heard the sound of a blade striking ice today, but the crisp sound still startled him.

"How careless of me!"

A voice that didn't belong to anyone present rang out, and Natsuki Subaru looked in that direction and was completely stunned once again!

What a beautiful person!

Wearing a gray-white robe, with her legs propped up on the table, her slightly furrowed embroidered eyebrows and impatient tone made her look somewhat displeased.

Her eyes were lowered, and long eyelashes obscured the two pools of clear water in them. She held a little girl with bandages around her eyes in one arm, and gently held the other hand outstretched. The blue light in her palm that had not yet dissipated indicated who had released the ice shield that had just blocked Elsa!

It's a pity that her casually disheveled hair obscured her elegance; otherwise, she would definitely be a queen!

Natsuki Subaru finally snapped out of his daze and felt somewhat relieved that the other person wasn't very good at dressing up, otherwise she would have been prettier than his own Emilia!

But she is indeed cute!

But...why can't we afford a pair of Aces?!

###Chapter 135: A Way to Break Through###

('Things are beyond saving!')

Elsa, who had just jumped out of the pile of rubble, had already calculated all sorts of possibilities in the instant she was blocked. Seeing the ice shield that was as hard as cold iron even after withstanding her full-force attack, she decisively chose to give up!

Before she could even utter any harsh words, she quickly retreated, twisted her wrist, and thrust the dagger at a tricky angle towards An Shu.

This action was the result of her careful consideration!

Because if you try to escape directly, your chances of survival will be zero!

This place is on the street, and although it's a corner, it's not very remote. Even if I can shake off Reinhard while he's being chased, I would definitely be unable to withstand the full force of the Royal Guard once they go all out!

If those guards weren't idiots, they'd be on their way by now, and there are probably quite a few of them!

After all, Reinhard had just made such a big commotion.

Damn!

She cursed under her breath, thinking that this Sword Saint was indeed more troublesome than the rumors suggested!

The only feasible solution now is to take a hostage!

The first choice is naturally Emilia, who is both weak and of high status!

I didn't intend to kill her with that move just now; I just wanted to cripple her!

Unfortunately, An Shu stopped her in a flash, and now there's no chance; she's already under Reinhard's protection!

She had considered taking Felt or the old man hostage, but they weren't exactly respectable people, especially since Felt had been hired by her family to steal the badge. With that crime, they would be in deep trouble.
