The forest remains dense, so much so that I sometimes almost hit them. As I move at high speed to kill the Mabeasts, I come across a group of small Mabeasts. Mabeasts were relatively small, but a single hit from one would be fatal. However, a large Mabeast remains hidden among the trees, her long ears twitching with excitement as she senses my presence. It's really her!

Elsa comes out of the trees, and in front of me. She then stands between him and the Mabeast to which she seems to have become attached.

"Hello my darling... What brings you here?~"

"You again! I bet those Mabeasts are yours, right?"

Elsa laughs sweetly while looking at me.

"Of course, darling~ You seem to be on my trail, we'd say. I would never let another fighter like you take care of my pets~!" Elsa said it seductively while showing a smile.
"And so I took the liberty of protecting them from you~"

Elsa looks up at me.

"Do you want to play a game, honey~?"

Except I don't have time to play with her. I point towards her before shouting:

"I never play! Jiwald!"

Elsa laughs sweetly, looking at me, seeing that I'm ready to fight again.

"Well, well... You're just full of surprises, aren't you, my cutie~?"

The intestine hunter gives another soft smile before moving. The Mabeasts around her attack me, trying to distract me from Elsa. There are at least 7 trying to deceive my vigilance, which gave Elsa the opportunity to hit me on the back.

Unfortunately for her Jiwald - the incantation spell to use Yang magic - that I cast, kills all the Mabeasts, including their leader; which allows me to stay on the spot, in addition to blocking his blow with one finger.

Elsa therefore lets out a slight moan at my show of force. However, she ends with a little laugh, not taking her eyes off me, gives me a sweet smile, and steps back.

"That was amazing..." Elsa exclaims seductively, her tone becoming more and more malicious as she continues. "But let's see how to defend against that... You won't be able to block..." Elsa charged towards me so quickly, her eyes filled with passion and malice.

"You're not amusing me anymore" My eyes just glow, then I shoot him point blank in his stomach in 0.0000000000001 second. "Jiwald"

Elsa lets out a high-pitched moan of shock as she is hit by my incantation. His body was sent backwards, before crashing against a small tree.

So she is weak to magic! It's good to know.

" GH h ! »

Elsa lets out a groan of pain, her body slowly moving backwards as she tries to get up. Her eyes slowly turn a dark red color as she looks up at Louis.

"It was... It was strong... You... You can't beat me easily~"

Elsa's voice fills with passion and arrogance as she speaks to me. I respond with an El Jiwald without casting a spell at the same speed.
Elsa's eyes light up again when she is struck by the next Jiwald.

"Ahhh!"

Elsa's body is thrown back again. She let out a sharp noise of pain as she crashed into a tree again.

"W...You...are doing your worst darling~ If you can kill me, I'll be impressed~"

Elsa spoke passionately as she tried to get up once more. Even in such a state, she still spoke with complete arrogance, as if it was a simple game to her.

I'm not into gambling as far as I know!

"It's not over yet. El Jiwald is not over yet. Do you know the principle of a time bomb?"

"A...time bomb~?"

Elsa's eyes fill with shock as she questions me

"This...is your ultimate secret trick, isn't it?~" Elsa's voice sounds surprised as she speaks. "And how does it work... Time bomb... darling~"

Elsa's voice is so soft and malicious at the same time, like a cat trying to lure someone closer. Too bad, I don't plan to let myself be caught. This is why I inform him despite everything:

"It's already started on you. Why do you think I targeted your intestines?"

"Oh my God!! I...didn't realize it!!" Elsa's body filled with a little fear at Louis' words. "But... My intestines? How... How could you hurt my intestines~?"

Elsa's voice was soft and malicious at the same time as she asked me how I hurt her intestines.

"It's finish." I decide clearly. "You're going to explode in 4, 3, 2, 1 and 0 just like the forest and everyone inside except the people I protected. "I'm staying in addition because I'm not afraid of my own technique.

Elsa's eyes fill with shock as she realizes what I mean:

"H..How cruel...D...Did you...Did you plan this...To defeat me~?"

Elsa looks at me with wide eyes, almost begging to go back in time.

"Louis-sama... Please~ Go back in time~!! Please, I won't hurt anyone else~!"

Elsa begs me, but too late, because the bomb explodes.

Elsa is pushed back by the force of the bomb. As she recovered from the explosion, her body seemed a little injured. However, she still manages to get up and stare at me

"W...What did you do to me...Louis-sama~" Elsa speaks in a pained tone asking me why her body gives her so much pain.

"Why should I tell you? In your place I would flee. You will no longer be able to kill the people of the village as in your contract. Besides, I knew that you were accompanied. I hope for her sake that she suffered the explosion"

.Elsa was clearly upset that I didn't answer her question.

"O...Oh...I...I see..." Elsa nevertheless speaks in a gentle tone while looking at Louis. "But... You just said... That I won't be able to kill the people... And that... I will no longer be able to respect my contract... I... You will pay... You will pay for this\~!"

Elsa's voice grew angrier and more sinister as she spoke, her body still shaking in pain.

Leave before I change my mind" I give him a look like the ninth circle of hell

Elsa's eyes fill with shock when she sees my look.

"B... But... But I..."

Elsa was clearly taken aback by Louis' sudden change in attitude

"I...I can't just...leave like that~"

Elsa spoke nervously and fearfully. Her eyes darted around, looking for somewhere to run.
I shoot Jiwald in cold blood without warning. If she doesn't leave, I will kill her.
Elsa could sense my deadly technique. She let out a wail of fear as she quickly moved away from me, running into the forest and away from my sight, leaving a trail of blood behind, as she desperately tried to run away.

I look at the state of the forest and it is literally destroyed, what should I do? I use Al Goa, Al Fura and Al Huma to restore it. Once finished, I check if the people and the village are okay. Fortunately this is the case.

"Louis! You're safe! Thank goodness. I was so worried!"

Emilia smiles with joy, hugs me. But when she sees that my clothes are covered in blood, she can't help but look at me in confusion.

"...Louis, what happened?"

She looks at me with a worried expression on her face, her brow furrowed in confusion.

"Nothing, nothing. I'm going to take a bath." I said as I took off the blood stained clothes and went to take a bath.

I go to the bathroom then take off the cape more delicately. Indeed, this is no ordinary cape. However, it no longer serves me so I remove what I need to remove and destroy the cloak. Then I take a nice, well-deserved bath.

Suddenly she rushes towards me in the bathroom. But this half-elf doesn't know about private space or something?

"...Louis, are you okay?? Are you seriously injured??"

She looks at me with a worried look, my heart is pounding in her chest with anxiety. I sigh softly and look at Emilia.

"I'm fine..." I say softly, then give a reassuring smile. "There's no need to worry. I took care of something and now everything is fine." I say firmly then. "Emilia, the blood you saw is not mine but that of the Mabeasts"

"Beasts...?" She looks at me in surprise. "You killed the Mabeasts? But how? How did you defeat them? Were you injured in the fight?"

His voice is filled with worry, his eyes fixed on me as I look at him. She really wants to know everything that happened but at the same time to know if I'm okay. I look into Emilia's eyes with a comforting look, trying to reassure her with my words.

"No, I'm not injured. I fought them alone and killed many of them as well as their leader. But, my cape is ruined. I had to destroy it as a precaution to avoid further complications "

"Louis... How did you find the Mabeasts? It's just that I thought you went into the forest to save Rem..." His eyes light up, his voice filled with excitement. "So the village is safe? The Mabeasts couldn't have hurt the villagers?" She smiled warmly at me, her eyes filled with joy at this wonderful news.

"Yes, they are. It was a hard-fought affair." I smile, confident.

"Louis~ You are amazing! You really can defeat anyone! But... have you found Rem?"

There's a tinge of concern in his voice, his eyes looking up at me with a worried look on my face. "Is Rem okay? Did you heal her or was it too late? I'm sorry, please don't ignore the question..."

"I should be the one to ask you that. Have you made sure Rem is awake?"

"Wait, what? Is Rem really okay?" She stares at me with a surprised expression, her eyes filling with hope. "Yes, of course! We need to see if Rem is awake and okay! Come on!"

She rushes into Rem's room, looking at me waiting for me to follow her.

"Wait until I come out of the bathroom, don't worry!"

Once out of there and dressed, I follow Rem, lighter, and arrive at my destination.
As for Emilia, she rushes to Rem's room, finding her awake and her face filled with relief to see her.

"Emilia!" His voice is filled with joy.

"Rem! You're awake!"

She runs to Rem, tears of joy streaming down my cheeks as she hugs her tightly.

"Rem, I'm so happy you're okay! We were all so worried..." She continues to hold her tight, her eyes shining with tears of happiness.

"Yes! I'm here! It's me! Rem! I'm so happy to see you again, Emilia-sama. It's been a long time, hasn't it? But please, don't cry. I'll well now. I'm glad to be able to see you again and see how much you care about me. Let's talk until morning! We have so much to catch up on~"

Ah.... the half-elves and the oni....

"Yes! Of course! I'm sorry if I was a little too emotional." She smiled softly at Rem. She pulls away from her, wiping my tears as she looks at her face.

"But, Rem, how are you feeling today? Are you really okay now?"

Rem laughs.

"Yes, Emilia. Don't worry about me. I slept for a while, but now I feel better than I have in a while."

"Rem~ that's a relief. I'll make you some of your favorite dishes"

I look at them happy then decide to leave them alone and leave.

"Thank you so much, Emilia-sama! I'll be sure to finish every bit of it."

"Actually, Rem, I have to let you know... your sister, Ram... she would like to see you."

Rem's smile fades, her eyes slowly closing as she remembers her sister, Ram.

"Oh, how I missed talking with Ram... but that's okay, since I have Emilia-sama and everyone~"

Eh ?

"Now, enough about me, how are you?~"

"I'm fine. I'm managing"

"Oh~ well, I'm glad to know you're okay~"

Rem and I begin to have a long conversation, sharing our thoughts and memories of the past, and making future plans on how to meet the challenge we face. It's good to see she's not going to try to kill me.

A few hours pass and Rem looks at the clock on the table

"Oh~ It's getting late~ We should probably go to bed soon~"

"...You're right. We have a long day tomorrow. I should probably go to bed now..."

I finally leave the room so as not to stay there forever, then I inform Ram that his sister has woken up.
