"――Eh?"

　Aroma, who was writhing in agony after receiving a knee kick from the cloaked woman, heard a muffled voice spilling out from above her head.

　It was a voice of bewilderment and fear that would come out when you see something impossible.

"Why……!? "

　Then there was the added frustration.

　A man who was not supposed to be here, spotted by the cloaked woman, was walking silently in the pouring rain.


"――What do you mean by why? "

"…………! "


　Aroma's eyes widened the moment she heard the man's voice.

　It was, without a doubt, the voice she had been craving for more than a year now.


"Why are you here!?　You should be at home right now――"
"I was thinking of going horse mackerel fishing."
"What!? "


　Second Firstest―― the person the woman in the raincoat most didn't want to run into.

　She instantly swallowed down all the comments that came out of her mouth at once, wondering why he decided to go fishing in the rain even though he had the Tenmouza battle tomorrow, why he had come to this place, and how he was going to get to the fishing spot in the first place. Swallowing all her criticisms at once, she continued her words in a state of agitation.

"Don't fuck with me…… this isn't how the plan was supposed to go."

　Mumbling, she grumbled to herself.

 "Hy……! "

　Aroma's wrist was gripped so tightly that she involuntarily screamed.

　The cloaked woman's strength seemed to be considerable, causing her wrists to be red and swollen. Second called out one phrase, "Stop that."


"…………"

　At that―― the cloaked woman smirked disgustedly.

"Just in time, I'll introduce you. This one is a "hostage". You, lose the match tomorrow."
"I see, so that's what this is about."
"Oh, I'm so glad you understood so quickly."
"What if I don't want to? "
"……I'm going to rip off her fingernails one by one."
"Scary."

　When Second raised an eyebrow and gave her a reproachful look, the cloaked woman pulled Aroma's arm up with a yank and took three steps backward.


　Immediately after, six girls from the fan club appeared from behind Second.

"――Eh! ? "

　As if by magic, all six of them seemed to have discerned the identity of the man confronting the cloaked woman just by looking at his backside, and showed a look of surprise on their faces.

　But now was not the time for that. The vice president was on the brink of being abducted.

"S-Second-sama!　Aroma-san is about to be taken away!　Please help us! "
"Ah-ha-ha!　You guys are really stupid!　It's impossible, it's impossible!　Five or whatever, no matter how many crowns you have, there is no way you can fight while protecting this many people, is there!? "

　The cloaked woman laughed and pulled out a dagger from her pocket.

　For someone with as much attack power as she had, a mere thrust of a dagger into a vital spot without using her skills could be fatal for these women, who were low HP and VIT mages.

　At first glance, the scene ...... seemed to be favorable for the group of people, however.

　The hostages needed to be watched. And now, in this place, that number had increased to seven.

"Whoa!　Don't even think about running away. If you guys take one more step, this girl's head will crack open."

　The girls in the fan club could no longer attack or escape with a single word from the cloaked woman.

　A hindrance. But more importantly, they have interfered with their beloved Second. The girls suddenly regretted having tracked them down unsuspectingly and unguarded.


"Y-You...... what in the world do you want ......? "

　Suddenly, Aroma spoke up, her face contorted by the pain in her wrist.

　After a moment of silence, the cloaked woman replied.


"……It is all for the sake of Prince-sama. To make Prince-sama love me."

　Her voice was euphoric and debauched.


　The air instantly froze.

　Everyone recoiled in disgust. All the people in the alleyway had a gut feeling that the cloaked woman was insane.

　……Only Second, however, seemed to be different.

　He said, "Heh! ", a single word of interest, then continued.


"If a man can make a woman say this much, he must be great, right? "

　Second's gaze was not on the woman in the raincoat, but―― above.

　It was directed at a man in a raincoat, lurking on the roof.

"Look at me!　I'll stab her in the neck!　Come on, hurry up, and swear you'll lose tomorrow!　Swear it! "
"Oh, come on, don't be in such a rush."

　As the cloaked woman made her hostility palpable, Second's mood suddenly became brighter for some reason.

　How could he sound so cheerful in this situation?

　For Aroma, more than the madness of the cloaked woman, or the dagger in her neck, it was Second's attitude that was bothering her.

　And then Second spoke even more nonsensical words.

"――Okay, then, let's have a pre-Tenmouza match."



　　＊　＊　＊



　《Knight Thread Manipulation》

　A skill to manipulate monsters, humans, and puppets with strings for a certain period of time.
　At this stage, the status of the manipulated side is applied at 80% of the status of the manipulator.

　……Due to the rain, the threads are very difficult to see. But the overly refined movements of the cloaked woman made it clear. There is no doubt that the man on the roof is manipulating this cloaked woman with 《Knight Thread Manipulation》.

　It totally gives me high expectations.

　【Thread Manipulation】 does not increase the STR. In other words, a STR that sprains a magician's hand with a light grip at 80% status would be a sign that he has raised his other skills to a certain level.

　On top of that, I felt that he had not neglected to study the all-important【Thread Manipulation】. A 《Knight Thread Manipulation》 that is able to manipulate others so beautifully is an advanced technique that is hard to find. Perhaps the man on the roof is very skilled, besides Knight.

　Alright, so the pre-Tenmouza match is about to begin.

"Aroma, what's your VIT? "
"T-Thirty eight."

　So, let's see, roughly……


"Prince-kun, your STR is about 200-250."

"! ? "


　For the first time, the man on the roof showed signs of unrest.
　That seems to be Prince-kun for sure.

　Now, let's not let up on the assault.

"How about AGI around 400, SP around 750, then DEX between 400 and 500? "

　Based on the distance and speed of movement, its slow and fast movement, the amount of SP consumed during the use of 《Knight Thread Manipulation》 9th grade, and the timing when the action was stopped, his AGI and SP vaguely came to mind, and with a rough estimate of what kind of growth type he is and how his skills are raised, an approximate DEX can be derived.

　It is difficult to pinpoint exactly, but one can get a "gut feeling" based on experience.

"Is it 458? "

"! ? ! ? "

　How's that?　Bullseye?　It would seem so.

　The firepower of 【Thread Manipulation】 is mainly affected by DEX. The fact that the DEX, which could have been kept secret for so long, has been exposed means, in other words, that there is now one less card in your hand. Pretty painful, isn't it?


"Don't ignore me, Second!　I'll stab her! "

　What the heck, I'm in a good moment, but the cloaked woman is being too annoying.

"Hey, speaking hypothetically, but if my military strategist were to take a hostage and demand to lose, here's what she would do."
"Uh? "
"Kill one person, then not say a word."
"……! "

　In the first place, you guys don't want to kill. There's not even malicious intent. I guess they just wanted to "play hostage."


"――I think, you've hit the jackpot, with that one."
"Hey, you really show up when least expected, huh?"
"Where Second-san is, there's also, his strategist."

　Suddenly, Windfield appeared out of nowhere and winked at me. When a cool, tall, beautiful woman does that, holy shit, it's dangerous.

　And what's even worse, Windfield, this time she put her face close to my ear and started talking to me.

　Now then, what kind of interesting stories will she tell me?


"Hey, don't you think that Prince-kun wanted to put out the fire that he had lit by himself? "

"…………Oh."


　Whoa, something like that……

　Eh, what is it then? So he had his own woman help him stage it all?　Do you think he was trying to show Aroma and the others his good side by dashing in to a crisis of his own making?

"……Why? "
"Ah......"

　When I asked, Windfield opened her mouth as if she was having trouble saying it.


"I think he wanted to be popular."
"I can see that happening."

　Yeah. There are guys like that! There are those who don't like it when they aren't the most popular.


"Yeah……But, Prince-kun, don't be ashamed."

　The way I looked at him changed all at once.

"Don’t worry. I know that kind of guy is strong."

　Yes, that's right. Those kinds of guys have that weird strength.

　I don't know if it's jealousy or what, but he is a person who can make such an effort for such a trivial thing as gaining a small fan base and, if possible, becoming even more popular.

　His motives may be impure, and his methods may be crooked, but his efforts are still efforts. In other words, Prince-kun is a person who is willing to put in the time and energy to make the right effort in every aspect of his life.

　It's nice to know that he's good at 【Thread Manipulation】 in order to be popular. What is important is how far one can climb up the ladder with that persistence.


"M-Making fun of Prince-sama…… I won't forgive you! "
"But I wasn't. Rather, I was praising him. In fact, can you let her go already?"

　I feel sorry for Aroma, so it should be time to let her go.

"I will never let her go!　She's a hostage!　If you want to save her, swear that you will lose!　Then I'll hand her back to you tomorrow! "
"Since this isn't getting anywhere, can I make a move already? "
"You can try!　But at that moment, this girl's head――"
"Oh, is that so?"
"! "

　As I took a step forward, the cloaked woman pulled back her left leg and put more strength into her right hand, which was holding a dagger. Oh come on, you're really going to stab her? I'm gonna snap that thread.

　But, I see, Prince-kun, you've thought of it. Even if I tried to cut the strings of the 《Knight Thread Manipulation》, which is moving the cloaked woman, I could not see the exact location due to the poor visibility caused by the rain. However, if it were a skill that could attack a wide area around the head of the cloaked woman, which is likely to have threads, it would take time from the time of preparation to the time of activation.

　There are several ways to do this. I'm not sure if I should use 【Archery】 and blow off the right arm by her shoulder, use the invincibility time of 《Transform》 and bring her and her aroma to the ground, or ask the great Anko-sensei to do it for me.

　The sure option is Anko, but after saying "pre-Tenmouza match" I only feel like using 【Thread Manipulation】.

　Well, let's do it this way.


"You fool!　Something like that won't hit me! "

　0.3 seconds after I extended the string I took out of my inventory forward, the cloaked woman put all her strength into her right hand to cut off Aroma's neck while using her body as a shield to defend herself.


"Kyaa! "

　One of the female students screamed.

　Obviously, the dagger pierced. I guess she couldn't help but think so.

　But――



"……Ghh……! ? "

"Eh……? "


　Trembling, the cloaked woman winced as she strained the muscles of her right hand too hard.

　In contrast, Aroma, with a look of incomprehension on her face, gently pinched the dagger of the cloaked woman and held it down.


"You must be proud of your Knight Thread Manipulation, right?　Actually, I'm proud of mine, too."

　Let's show off our skills for all to see.


　Twisting the dagger inward, I lunged into the empty side with the right hand and spun around to get behind the cloaked woman. Grasping and holding the wrist with the dagger, I put the left hand on the elbow from the backside and crouched down while turning to the right.……。

"Aaand, it's done."

　With a thud, the cloaked woman fell to the ground, helplessly, and dropped her dagger.

　Standing up in this position with her right wrist in my hand, and stepping on her shoulder, she would not be able to move even a single muscle.


　Hmmm, it's been a while since I've done this, but it's still great thread handling if I say so myself. I am quite proud of myself.

"Eh, w-w-what……?"

　What? I just manipulated Aroma with 《Knight Thread Manipulation》.

　It would appear that Aroma was moving willingly, wouldn't you agree?　The movement was so natural that it didn't look like manipulation, right?　Reflexes, dynamic vision, spatial awareness, and manipulation skills are all unquestionable, right?

　Ahh, what a feeling. It's great to be able to demonstrate this skill in front of the girls and a beautiful spirit.


"I'll cut it."

　I had Aroma pick up a dagger and cut the thread above the head of the cloaked woman.

　At that moment, the woman slumped down. A stun. This is what happens when Knight's strings are cut.


"Ha ha ha, watch out for Super Aroma."
"Ah, this, wait, EEHH!?"

　Just for fun, I made her strike a cool pose.

　Aroma sounded troubled, but for some reason, her face was red and she looked completely uncomfortable.

"Second-san, do you know this Aroma girl? "
"She is the sister of Irie-san, who was in the First Royal Court Magician Division. When I was a special temporary instructor, I remember giving her an autograph addressed to Aroma, if I recall correctly."
"Hmm."

　While undercover at the Royal Magic Academy, Aroma Vanilla, a female student, and I were in the same group during camp training in the slime forest. I had unusually memorized her name, as thanks to this girl's guidance I got spectacularly lost and consequently lost a lot of time.

　Just now, I noticed that Aroma and Irie looked a lot alike, and I suddenly remembered the autograph card on which I had written: "To Irie & Aroma". I didn't realize it when I was signing the papers, but I am sure they are sisters.


"……Well then, I guess I won the pre-Tenmouza match."

　I said as I looked up at the figure on the roof that must be Prince-kun.

　It's a shame, Prince-kun. But you're going to lose tomorrow too.

　You don't understand how important this pre-Tenmouza match was. If you were going to possibly pick up on the remote chance that you might beat me, this was the only place to do it. Just because your tactic of putting off the fire you created failed, you still had the upper hand with the hostages. What's more, you were shaken up because someone guessed your status, and then you lost the game with your proud 《Knight Thread Manipulation》. You must be mentally wracked.　It would be strange to win tomorrow like that.

"You can go home and cry to Mommy, or maybe your fans."

　I gave the final blow. Watching for the moment when he puts strength into his legs to get away from this place, I tell him to make himself feel as miserable as possible.

"…………"

　The man in the raincoat stopped running away for a moment.

　I wonder what he is thinking now.
　This is a guy who is trying to get away by leaving his own woman behind, he surely is no good as far as I'm concerned.

　……But.

"See you tomorrow."

　If, by any chance, by a million to one, the man named Prince is the kind of guy who can bounce back from this adversity.

　Tomorrow might be very enjoyable――



　　＊　＊　＊



"Thank you so very much!! "

　The fan club members blushed as Second and Windfield left with a fluttering wave of their hands.

　The last line was "Don't catch a cold!".
　They all thought "That's what we should be saying! ", but none of them said it out loud.


"Vice President!　I hope you are ready! "

　After Second left, this was the first thing they said.
　The girls, aside from Aroma, were in a state of excitement.

"You are obligated to present a 30,000-word report on this one incident."
"Being manipulated by Second-sama…… surely it must've felt very pleasing, right?  "
"Watch out for Super Aroma…… that subtle dorkiness was seriously endearing."
"Or rather, they remembered your name! ……They remembered your name! "
"And they called her by name!　And what about the signature!?　Why have I never heard of this before!? "
"And on top of that, she even got a potion poured on her wrist by his hand...... but it's not like I envy her at all."

　And then there was Aroma.


"…………………Wa…………Wauu……"

"V-Vice-president! ? "


　She fell down, clutching her chest, white eyes peeling.

　In the biggest crisis of her life, the person she loved the most, who wasn't supposed to show up, showed up. That alone seemed to overwhelm her.

　Truly, she felt as if she had her strings cut off.


"……Hey, what are we going to do about this?"
"Yeah……I don't know what to do."

　Two women collapsed in the alleyway. One was the vice-president, Aroma, and the other was a woman who was a member of Prince's devotees, the cloaked women.

　The six female students discussed what to do with the cloaked woman while leaving aside the vice president, who fainted with a disheveled look on her face.

"What do you think Second-sama would do? "
"If she still has a bone to pick, I say let her."
"So you understand, girl. But that's not what I meant. "
"If she's interesting, let's make her one of us."
"Like I said, this is not about that right now."
"I say we decide on it depending on the size of her boobs."
"Seriously, do you think this is some comedy sketch?"

　……Finally, they decided to take her back to the school dormitory.

　Good grief―― One of the maids, who just a few moments ago had been assigned by Windfield to escort the girls and the rest of the fan club, gave a small sigh with an unnoticed smile on her face.


"By the way, Second-sama is quite a fighter, isn't he?"
"I didn't think it would be a big deal for someone to try to take a hostage, but from what I saw of the vice president, that guy was pretty strong."
"Uhmm, is it alright to think that the person on the roof was Prince Tenmouza? "
"Second-sama said it with such conviction that I'm sure of it."
"Plus, he saw through his status."
"Second-sama is pretty smart, isn't he?"
"Nah, that was wild intuition or something."
"Eh?　What?　Are you trying to pick a fight with me? "
"Oh?　What's that?　Wanna get at it? "
"Yeah, yeah, stop it already."

　The fan club members left as lively as ever, carrying Aroma with them.

"……Or rather, about Prince Tenmouza."
"Don't even talk about it. Kind of...... creeps me out."







"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck."

　One man mumbled incessantly in a dark room.

"I'm more awesome than you. I'm cooler than you. No matter how you look at it. Everyone is crazy. Appreciate the effort I've put in. What's with that guy? That son of a bitch is ruining everything. I don't like it. Seriously, die. Aroma should die too. What the hell is that bitch? She shakes her ass at men and has the face of a bitch. The whore. How did this happen?　That person should be smart too, she was so fucking useless after all the special treatment I gave her. If you are a fan of mine, act smarter. I'm so pissed off to hear them blabbering on and on about nonsense. It's really shit. Every one of them sucks. Ahhhh! Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck……"

　He swung a bundle of threads around and destroyed everything in the room.

　The man had always been like this.
　Before that man showed up, and ever since that man showed up.


"Oh, I'm so angry now."
