Chapter 18.1. A Perfect And Complete Operation

-Masatoshi’s POV-

Aguni looks at the stone golem through binoculars with a smirk and an ugly smile. The latest magic binoculars model shows me the scene with a clear resolution as if the stone golem were right in front of my eyes.

The adventurers frantically used magic to try to hold the stone golem. Behind them, Yamiyo and others are talking.

“Buying time, huh? I guess the dark root wakame isn’t so strong after all.”

Even using precious summoned gems, I wanted to confirm Yamiyo’s ability. One topaz cost three billion yen, but I didn’t hesitate. One of the reasons is that it can be undone.

Facing the stone golem, a powerful summoned beast that is a stone giant, Yamiyo and her team are trying to escape, using the adventurers as bait. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“The stone golem is hard. I imagined they could hurt it but not defeat it, but not like this. It may have potential, but it doesn’t seem to be a threat.”

The stone golem is not just a block of stone. Its material is bare topaz, which was created as a magical gemstone. Even though it looks like stone, its hardness is the same as topaz. Moreover, unless Yamiyo and others’ attack gets imbued with magic. Their physical attacks get blocked. It is the strongest summoned beast.

The 9 year old me have a hideous personality that takes pleasure in tormenting others.

If you’re only good enough to get away with it, you’re no match for my power Anyone who knew the story could at least have stopped the stone golem in its tracks.

“At this time, the hero has not been thrown out of the duke’s house. In other words, there is no one to come to my aid. The rest of us should be satisfied with letting the Stone Golem run rampant and watching it kill the adventurers.”

The stone golem is no match for those adventurers. I would have a hard time against the stone golem. Right now, they’re using magic to block its movements, but soon their mana will run out, and those adventurers will be mincemeat.

“Even in the original story, some used that magic on those vicious monsters. But they ran out of mana and killed them all. I’m lucky I could see the same scene in the flesh.”

The mob adventurers were trying their best to stop the monsters summoned by the enemy organization, I thought. I laughed at the description of the hard-working adventurers, saying, “Yes, yes, thank you, it’s a stepping stone to show off the hero’s strength.”.

I scoffed with a Kuku kuku because the stone golem is good at what it does daily. After killing the adventurers, the stone golem would return to the summoned jewelry, I then misled the Marquis by explaining that they had run out of control or appropriately misdirected Yamiyo and the others. They must not care if only a pawn adventurer dies, not the eldest daughter.

“Three billion yen will kill them. They are lucky trash. Thanks for that. Hey, what?”

I muttered and looked again at the binoculars.

There was a petite, young, beautiful girl running adorably. She’s raising her mace, and the gray-haired beauty heads toward the stone golem.

She was running too slowly, though she was probably running with the physical ability of a weak 9 year old without activating her magical armor.

“Hey, hey, that little harem candidate of mine. Don’t push yourself too hard. You can’t do anything.”

She was running with her beautiful gray hair that resembled silver, her ice-blue eyes sharp, and an intimidating, beastly smile. Such a figure is also beautiful and noble, like a lion, and is admirable to behold.

The girl, who is petite even for a 9 nine year old, raises her mace like a matchstick when faced with the stone golem. Does she think it’s a game?

“I can’t even wound it with that kind of force. Oh, what a waste. She’s so pretty like that.”

From behind, Yamiyo and the others follow, dark swords in her hand, but it’s futile. The stone golem’s hardness cannot get cracked by even the slightest attack.

“Will Yamiyo die? It would be tricky to go that far, but it’s okay. But it’s not good to kill a recovery magician. It’s worse than killing Yamiyo.”

There are only 30 recovery wizards in Japan. Killing her would be a crime, even if I’m the duke’s son. I’m well aware of my position. I’m not a small villain who acts without thinking. I’m not like Masatoshi in the novel.

What happens if the recovery magician dies? Masatoshi is a character who is not in the main storyline, but regardless of the storyline, I must be in a bad position. My younger brother is weaker than me, but there is not much difference in talent. I could even be ruined by having my heirship taken away before the main storyline begins.

The Dukes of Aguuni, where I’m from, have money and power. However, there was no love for family. There is a possibility I will be mercilessly cut down and thrown out to a branch family, where I will live like a slave to be worked hard in a dungeon.

“It’s inevitable. I’ll order the golem not to kill that cutie.”

I like that girl. Because she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, who is not involved in the main storyline. And she has silver hair. I liked the silver-haired character.

Being a big fan of the original story, I suspected that in acquiring the heroines, there was a world fate, a kind of story compensation.

My dueling events would prove that. If the story correction works, I lose. But if not I would win. It was a gamble, but one I could not escape. Well, I think I will win. Because I have trained and become stronger. There is no problem with a correction when it comes to combat.

But the human heart is different. It may be difficult to get anything other than a foolish heroine who makes herself the object of a bet. Because events are just the tip of the iceberg. Perhaps because there is a buildup with the heroine, etc., and the heroine is likely to like the hero. It is indeed impossible to interrupt all the events.

There is still time before entering the academy, so I cannot confirm this, but if there is a story correction, it is difficult to get the heroine even if I can defeat the hero. But that girl is a character that is not in the original story. I could take action to get her without thinking about it.
