Lonely Attack on the Different World (WN)
Chapter 321: part 1

Day 76 – Nighttime, the Capital, Royal Palace

Haruka-kun is endlessly complaining about being exhausted, but we’ve heard from Angelica-san, that when his ears are a bit red, it means that he actually feels embarrassed.

It seems he is embarrassed about joining hands or having to hold his hand around our waists. Such a shy guy. But is it alright for Sex King to be getting all bashful about something of this level?

「Aaaaaaaaaah, I’m tired, like, dead tired? Why does everyone have to dance with me? Are you going to start a battle royal among yourself or something? Or rather, when did the Geeks and Idiots escape? They can dance too, you know? Take those nine, and then put a tuxedo on Vice Pres A-san and… Nevermind. My, you look wicked fine in this dress, enough to put a wicked smile on the face? Like the one you have right now?」

I hurry to Vice Pres A-san and quietly try to soothe her wrath. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ N0vᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

(You shouldn’t. Patience. You can strangle him later.)

(((Yeah, I’ll even help you, so please endure it for now? Don’t pull out your morning star here.)))

We are trying to make Haruka-kun look good today. The nobles haven’t fully given up yet. We keep constantly Resisting for a long while now, which means, someone keeps trying to apply some sort of Abnormal Status Effect, triggering Resist.

We can’t get a break from spiked drinks and food too. Servants and maids are getting caught one after another, but there are no signs of improvement.

But the contemptuous attitude towards Haruka-kun has disappeared. Unable to mock him, they just keep glaring, but we might as well pluck their eyes out later.

It’s pissing me off that they are looking down on him because of that play and awards. It’s unforgivable to have a person, who worked more than anyone, getting insulted like that. Let’s blind them.

However, they keep glaring at him over and over, but what are they planning to do if Haruka-kun glares back?

Haruka-kun’s Glare is so dangerous that even monsters of the lower floors of the Great Dungeons are said to have broken into tears, failing to Resist it. I’m sure all of the nobles would die from shock, but for some reason, they keep glaring at him. It’s really bold of them to stare like that at a person more dangerous than an Evil Eye, a monster capable of instantly killing with its gaze.

And everyone’s rings keep shining. The transparent diamonds on our rings are busily going from red to blue.

This means that various Mental Attacks, like 『Temptation』,『Hypnosis』,『Suggestion』keep barraging like a hail. Darts and needles smeared with drugs also keep flying our way, but we remain waiting, without making a fuss.

The actual problem lies with the mental attacks like『Temptation』, 『Hypnosis』, and『Suggestion』, from a girl’s point of view, such attacks are nothing short of sacrilege towards a maiden’s soul and body, and absolutely cannot be forgiven. It pisses me off so much that I’d like to go and kill them this very instant.

But I remain by Haruka-kun’s side. After all, there definitely won’t be any issue.

『Temptation』, 『Hypnosis』, and『Suggestion』? Moreover, low power and lower level. Be it the higher tier of 『Seduction』or even the legendary『Charm』, with this equipment given to us by Haruka-kun neither will have any effect. On top of that, it even has a very eco-friendly design which allows it to absorb the effects as mana?

Forget needles and darts, it can deflect even bows, ballistas, and cannons. Those dresses have higher defensive stats than the armor worn by the Royal Knights, given to them by Haruka-kun, that previously was said to be of legendary grade. But still, even if there is a risk of assassination, I don’t think anyone would attempt to use a ballista or a cannon for it? That would require a very audacious assassin?

But Haruka-kun is waiting for something, it doesn’t seem like he is planning to let things end like this. So for now we endure. If everything ends like this without problems the Royal Family’s authority will be established and the nobles will go into decline.

If they are going to try something they will aim either for Haruka-kun or us. We are guests of honor today, and are also connected to the Princess and lady Meriel. They must think that not only can destroy the influence of the ball organized by the Royal Family through this, but if things go well, they might even be able to make a connection to the Princess or Lady Meriel. So perhaps he is baiting them?

「Shit, why doesn’t it work?!」

「Drugs have no effect either, and we are about to run out of magic stones for magic tools.」

「If you fail this, there is no future for us. Valets and maids were captured already. Once the ball ends we are done for too.」

Just when I thought that this trash might be useful for once, this is what I get. They couldn’t even approach them, forget striking a conversation, and once they were given an opportunity to greet them, not only they didn’t get a reply, they were completely ignored, unable to even get their existence acknowledged. Despite all their womanizing boasting, in the end, they are just incompetent trash that relies on the status of their family, drugs, and Skills to get women.

「One of you will have to take responsibility for this with his life. Decide among yourselves on which one it will be. All other paths to survival have been shut down.」

「「Father……」」

No other choice but to cast away one of my foolish sons. And since they are twins, it makes no difference which one remains.

(Send people outside. No other way but to kill that brat outside and kidnap the women.)

(At once.)

We won’t be able to back off once it comes to violence in the very Capital. But if we withdraw without doing anything after having such beauties flaunted before us and getting humiliated like this, we wouldn’t be able to keep other nobles in line even with our status as a Great Marquis House, which will lead to them lacking proper respect, distancing, and eventually deserting us.

But if we manage to obtain the maidens, other nobles will be frequenting our house in droves, and will have no choice but to obey my will. There is no man who can look at these women and resist trying them himself.

And if things go well, there is even a chance that the Frontier’s young lady or the Princess will be with them too. We just have to ignore the tactics of that clown of a tactician and make them surrender through sheer force. The question is will we be able to escape the Capital’s military and make it into our domain. I’d like to have either the Princess or the young lady as a hostage, but there is no choice but to take a risk there. If losing and not taking the gamble both mean decline then victory is the only path left.

Will it become a glorious parting gift for my sons, or will he die in vain. There is but one path to survival left.
