Chapter 48: The Chaos of Helmut
“What is this…….”
The moment Isaac stepped inside to check the present from Rihanna, an exclamation slipped out of his mouth.
He’d been told it was a bundle of monster intestines, bones, and hides—something that would practically reek of decay—but…
Once he actually entered the room, the air was filled not with rotten odors but with a thick, fragrant smell of mana.
He could feel the energy coursing through his body, his skin growing dewy.
Was this really the kind of environment a corpse from such a vicious monster could create?
On the desk sat monster byproducts, and next to them, a massive bone propped upright.
Considering the creature’s size, the quantity wasn’t huge, but even this much was invaluable.
Byproducts from monsters like Bricalla commanded astonishing prices in and of themselves.
“Maybe it’ll be possible after all.”
Gathering up the byproducts along with the rose elixir he’d received from Lohengrin, Isaac stepped outside.
He walked toward Vivian with a hopeful stride. Originally, he had planned to visit him for a routine checkup the next day, but the byproducts from Bricalla sparked a wave of excitement that urged him to act immediately.
“Not happening.”
Vivian responded as if the answer were obvious.
“…….”
The acrid smell of disinfectant in the infirmary snapped him back to reality.
“If it were that easy, the Magic Tower would have figured it out ages ago. Aren’t you seeing the world a bit too simplistically?”
“…….”
“I told you before—using potions for something like this has already been thoroughly re
Completely ignoring Sharen, Alois paid her no mind. Offended, she finally stalked inside with Kelsey, leaving them behind.
“So, she’s really here,” Rihanna remarked quietly.
“Your timing is perfect. Father is currently meeting the guests Mother brought. So if you just memorize the script I made and follow it exactly—!”
“Guests?”
“Yes! I heard they’re from Blackthorn!”
For a moment, Rihanna’s eyes wavered. Without hesitation, she turned and retrieved her greatsword, Ragnabel, from where it was stowed on the carriage.
“Big Sister?”
Rihanna looked ready to march straight into the mansion, then—
“Ah, right. Almost forgot.”
Just in case.
Whoosh!
Her greatsword traced a wide arc. Since it was still in its scabbard, it acted more like a blunt weapon than a blade.
Crunch!
And just like that, both of Alois’s legs were crushed.
“Gaaahhh!”
Alois screamed in agony. Caught so off guard he couldn’t even defend himself, he fell to his knees.
“Ugh… B-Big Sister?! What on earth—?!”
“I can’t have you running off.”
“Wh-what?! Guh… W-what do you mean?!”
“You said you had an excuse ready for Father, right? For my sake.”
Passing her suffering younger brother, Rihanna walked on into the mansion.
“You’d better also be prepared to explain why you tried to harm my husband…”
All Alois could do was writhe on the ground, the pain in his broken legs and his sister’s low warning echoing mercilessly in his ears.
