Chapter 9.1 (1/2)

Chapter 9.1

I was shocked by the fiancé announcement first thing in the morning so I began my day feeling blue although it was my long-awaited birthday.

But at least this engagement was still at the verbal agreement stage and wasn’t formalized yet.

「It had to be Alvin-sama, out of all the people! Amongst the 5 men, it had to be Alvin-sama who is the number 1 or 2 brute! It is like my life is barreling down the road of S torture, group play rape route in a straight line. Hey, Sebastian, are you listening seriously?」

Wearing a dress that was relatively easy to move in, I was clamoring while aiming for a gap in Karl’s defense.

It’s the usual combat training and today we were mainly doing close-combat.

After yesterday’s compet.i.tion（？）with Neil-sama, as expected, Karl had agreed with the opinion that it was indispendable to know how to fight without weapons. (TN: That question mark was part of the raws)

「It’s Karl. I am listening, that is to ojou-sama’s numerous remarks which are inappropriate for a lady.」

「But it is the truth so it can’t be helped, right? I can live like a quiet ojou-sama without talking dirty if I wanted to, you know. (TN: Okay. I totally guessed this line. Take a whack at it? わたしだってできることなら汚れなきお嬢様としておっとりと暮らしたいわよ)」

「I think “quiet” would be impossible. Because Ojou-sama is too rash.」

「You have to be rude each and every time, huh!」

Karl avoided my kick, seamlessly closed in, and landed a hit on me.

「Move your body rather than your mouth. Your defense is weak.」

「Ugyuu!*」

I couldn’t defend against Karl’s strike which came flying suddenly and received a blow. I fell over and toppled onto the ground.

Curling up my body while grimacing in pain, I cast a recovery spell using the last of my MP and the pain gradually subsided.

Demon, devil, ruthless demon king*!
