“You’re the SM queen from that party!”
Millennium remained motionless for a few moments, as if frozen in place. However, eventually, when a smile crept onto her face,
“That’s correct”
She said condescendingly.
“I can go inside another person and take control of their body. Now I’m inside this girl and I’m borrowing her body. To infiltrate the Gran Magia Magic Sorcery Academy. But, now that you know that, what does it matter? Now, I control this girl’s body. If you want me to spare this girl’s life——”
“Wake up!! Leinaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
Haruto shouted again.
Then, Iris continues to call out in a loud voice.
“Please, Leina! If you don’t get back to your senses, everything will be useless!”
“It’s useless. No matter how many times you call out……”
“And the world! And everything you care about! Everything will be all gone!!”
Millennium’s cheeks twitched.
“At this rate, you will surely be killed! Vario, whom you like, will also be killed! Maybe by your own hands!”
“Fufu, that makes me cry. But too~ bad. That’s completely pointless——”
A single tear spilled from Millennium’s eye.
“Eh……what, is this?”
“!? Iris! Keep going!”
“Yes! Leina, look closely! Look at the sword you’re holding! Who the heck is it aiming for!?”
Millennium’s gaze falls on Vario who’s tied up.
“Vario……sama?”
Leina’s eyes wavered.
The next moment, the sword slipped off from her hand.
“Ku……what the hell is this! I’m losing the freedom in this body……!?”
“Tell me, Leina! Who is it that you love!?”
“I……”
The face of Leina, changed from that of Millennium to Leina’s.
“I yearn for Vario-sama …… but, but, it’s an unfulfilled love. I’m just a maid. …… My status is different. And how can I compete with a princess?”
“You can do it!!”
Iris shouted without hesitation.
“Because Vario, chose you from the beginning!!”
“That…… that’s not true. There is no way I can compete with the Princess……”
“——Not really.”
The eyes of the fallen Vario have slightly opened.
“You become conscious!? Vario!”
When he called out, Vario turned his head and looked at Haruto and Iris.
“…… Honestly, I can’t grasp the situation at all, but”
Then he looked up at Leina again.
“However, my most important woman in the world is crying. ……”
“……Vario,sama?”
“I have never seen Leina cry before. That’s why ……I didn’t understand Leina’s pain and grief.”
Leina hurriedly wiped away the tears with her hand.
“N,no! It’s different, this is!”
“When I saw those tears, I didn’t care about anything else. This situation, the house, the engagement, everything —— they’re no better than Leina.”
“That’s…… no way”
Leina was overcome with a variety of emotions, such as joy, horror, and guilt. Her thoughts were panicking and she’s down without knowing what to do.
“Haruto”
Vario looked at Haruto again.
“The most important person to protect, you say …… it’s Leena for me.”
“Ah”
“However, I don’t think I can pull off a miracle on my own. So——”
He turned his gaze earnestly to Haruto.
“Your power, can you lend it to me?”
Without warning, Haruto let out a laugh.
“This stupid guy”
He said as if spitting out.
“Ha,Haruto-kun?”
At his unexpected remarks, Iris stared at him in surprise.
But Haruto simply grinned.
“From the beginning, you should’ve said that, you know”
It was, a truly reliable smile.
Pushed by that smile, Vario told Leina.
“I’m breaking off my engagement to the princess. You’re all I need, Leina.”
“Ah…… Vario-sama. Such, such a thing……”
From her happy look, tears began to flow without stopping.
——But, the next moment,
“Ku……uuugh!”
Leina held her forehead and began to suffer.
“Leina, are you okay!?”
The look of Millennium reappears on Leina’s face again.
However ——,
“……Looks like this body is done.”
When she mumbled this, Leina’s strength drained from her body like a puppet with broken strings. She then bends and collapses on top of Vario.
“Leina!?”
Vario exclaimed in an impatient voice.
Right away, Iris ran over and picked Leina up.
“……It’s alright. It looks like she’s just passed out.”
“I see…… I’m glad”
Haruto approached Vario, who breathed a sigh of relief.
“Wait. I’ll untie you now.”
“I’d like to ask you something when it’s calmer, but …… what the hell is going on here?”
“Ah…… that is……”
Thinking of an excuse, he untied Vario’s rope.
Once free, Vario loosened his restrained body and shook his arm. He then picked up his own sword that Leina had been holding.
“It kind of looked like Leina was being manipulated, though……?”
Haruto scratched his head in troubled manner and turned his back so that no one could see his anxious face.
“…… It’s difficult to explain, but to put it simply …… Leina was being manipulated by an evil magician, I guess……”
“An evil magician, you said? That’s——“
Vario raised the tip of his sword.
Then, he thrusts his sword into Haruto’s back.
“Is that about me?”
“Gu…… auh!?”
Iris couldn’t believe her eyes.
From Haruto’s stomach,
the sword was popping out.
“Ha……Haruto-kun……”
Haruto, stared at the pointed edge of the sword that jutted out from his belly.
“You are…… Millennium huh”
“Indeed. You were caught off guard.”
With a grin, Millennium who possessed Vario kicked Haruto in the back.
“Guaaaahh!”
The sword slipped off from Haruto’s back. At the same time, blood overflowed from him.
“Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!”
Iris screamed and ran over to Haruto.
“No! No,not like this! Haruto-kun! Haruto-kuuuuuuuuuuuun!!”
Iris called out to him desperately with tears.
Millennium, in the form of Vario, looks in ecstasy as she sees Iris crying and Haruto in pain.
“Ufufu…… no need to be noisy, no need to be noisy. There’s no way I’m going to kill one 『Half Body of the Demon King(Juliet) 』. The sooner he gets treated up, the sooner he’ll be able to move.”
“Even so, he’s seriously injured!! Right now…… I’m taking him to the infirmary! Please hold on tight, Haruto-kun!”
“Oops, I won’t let you do that.”
Millennium points her sword, wet with Haruto’s blood, at Iris.
“But, I’ll heal him as soon as you have sex. Look, ohime-sama, you’re trying to save your beloved Haruto-kun, right? Hurry up and accept his thing.”
“To……help Haruto-kun”
Iris bit her lower lip and clenched her fists.
“I under……stand”
Nodding while shedding tears, Iris stood up.
Then, she rolls up her skirt and puts her hands on her underwear——,
“Guaaaaaaaaah……!!”
Haruto’s stifled scream echoed.
“Haruto-kun!?”
Smoke then rose from his belly and back.
“Hehe…… certainly, I have no major internal injuries…… You have good arms, Millennium”
When Haruto raised his face, his forehead was covered with greasy sweat.
“You……that’s……”
Millennium’s face contorted.
As he stood up, Haruto’s uniform had burn marks on it. It was the spot where Millennium had stabbed him.
“You burned yourself with fire magic to cover the wound?”
“Ah. I’m gonna blow you away with this.”
“That’s! Absurd, Haruto-kun!!”
“Iris, take care of Leina.”
Haruto pulled out his beloved sword, Phoenix, from his uniform and carried it on his shoulder.
“Let’s go”
“Well, this is easier to use than that girl’s body…… Fine, I’ll be your opponent. It looks like you need a little more pain to understand what’s going on.”
Millennium pulls the shield out of her back and holds it with her left hand. And a sword in her right hand.
She was exactly the same as Vario.
This means that she can also use the techniques and abilities of the body she was possessing.
However, he knows what Vario is capable of from their previous encounter.
Haruto started dashing.
“Tu!”
The shock of stepping forward, caused intense pain in his wound.
“Do you know it, you shit!!”
He ignores the pain and slashes at her. Millennium receives that blow with her shield.
“『Frost』!”
As he thought, ice magic was fired from his shield. But Haruto was aware of that.
“『Flame』!”
He counteracts it with fire magic ———— it was supposed to.
“Uguah!?”
He lost the bid with his power of magic. His flames were blown away and the fierce cold air assaulted him.
Dangerous!!
He hurriedly rolled backwards to avoid the ice magic.
“The power of your magic …… has gone up.”
“This is the special effect of dark magic. It can also enhance the magic of other attributes.”
Haruto stands up and lowers his hips as he carries his sword over his shoulder again.
“Is that…… so!”
It was an explosive acceleration with 『Movement』. His step was like an instantaneous movement, which adds power to his sword.
“Uoooooooooooooooooooohhhh!!”
He swung down a fierce blow.
But again, the shield prevented that.
“Ku……h!”
“What’s the matter? Is that your best shot?”
Phoenix and Edelweiss scatter sparks.
“Let me add one more thing: dark magic also has the power to strengthen the body. Right now, this is different from the Vario you know …… yo !!”
He was easily pushed back by the shield.
“Ugh!?”
Millennium approaches him with a sharp step, and attacks with her sword.
“Tsk!”
He parried it using his Phoenix. He tried to slash at him with his returning sword, but he was faster than him.
He became the one on the defensive.
Darn it! This is a wide difference from last time.
And I can’t move my body as well as I’d want. Maybe it was because of the wound!
“……Such a thing, you don’t need to say about it!”
Haruto opened a large distance between them with 『Movement』, and pointed the Phoenix at Millennium. A magic circle unfolded at the end of its blade.
I’m going to use attack magic here as well. However, with 『 Meltdown 』 , Vario himself will also die. That’s why——
“『Vulcan』!!”
He fired a barrage of flame bullets. The flames that landed blazed up on the stone floor, sending up flames and smoke.
Immediately, Haruto ran out and plunged into the flames.
“Uraaaaaaaaaaahh!!”
However, blue sparks scatter within the flames.
“!?”
Millennium was not at all intimidated by 『Vulcan』 and hadn’t moved an inch. She then calmly blocked the attack with her shield.
“Fufu, you can’t attack this body to cause serious injury anyway, can you? I don’t need to avoid it.”
The blade of ice spread from her handle.
A sharp blade, with shape like a star, struck Haruto.
“Guah!?”
“Haruto-kun!”
A splash of blood flew from Haruto’s arm. Iris became very worried.
Of course, she believes in Haruto.
Under normal conditions, there was no way he could fall behind Vario.
However, he suffered those many wounds, and with Prospero’s dark magic, opponent’s abilities have been enhanced.
If …… by any chance, Haruto-kun loses ……
“Don’t worry, Iris.”
As if he could read her mind, Haruto told her.
“This will all be over soon.”
While holding his belly, he smiled at Iris.
