    Chapter 29

    Episode 29

    “If you apologize, I will forgive you.”

    “…what?”

    “The rudeness you committed against me. If you kneel down and apologize in person, I will specially forgive you.”

    Rather than looking angry, the guy just looked blank.

    It was a reaction of wondering if he had heard it correctly.

    Chris twisted his lips and delivered the finishing blow.

    “Oh, you blonde bastard who stole seeds, don’t you know anything about honor? Oh no, wasn’t this something we shouldn’t talk about?”

    “This son of a bitch!!!”

    Dark Maga is characterized by black hair and bloodshot eyes.

    On the other hand, the guy has blond hair.

    Sometimes, hair of different colors is born like that, and people point fingers at me and say that it is not an external seed.

    ‘Was it a bit much to tease this?’

    But originally, provocation was done severely without regard to circumstances.

    “You must have really stolen the seeds, judging by the way you’re getting angry. You brought the seeds from outside, so you don’t know what honor is.”

    “Kyaaaaah!! This guy!!”

    The effect was clear.

    The bastard eventually lost his mind and attacked him.

    “Master Chris!”

    “danger…!!”

    Alos’ movements were so dangerous that the minions were startled.

    A look of anger, running without being able to tell the difference between front and back.

    “I will kill you!!!”

    A maddening murderous spirit was infused into the magic.

    But Chris chuckled.

    “Just.”

    Alos’ eyes widened at Chris’s subsequent movements.

    Chris’s right foot took a step forward.

    The shoulder twisted, and that alone rendered Alos’ attack futile.

    A clean dodge.

    ‘What happened to that rascal?’

    Alos realized too late that he had made too many big movements out of excitement. Full of loopholes.

    So, that bastard was able to escape.

    But I wasn’t too worried.

    Because the opponent is Chris.

    A piece of trash thrown out by the dark family.

    You can knock them down with your own strength… .

    That was the moment I thought about it.

    “Will that work?”

    Alos felt a sudden chill run down his spine.

    Chris’s cold eyes were watching him.

    Only then did Alos realize that Chris was within his reach.

    Chris’s arms were already stretched out behind him.

    Now I realized that at this angle and at this spacing, no matter what I did, I couldn’t avoid that attack.

    It was a belated realization.

    ‘for a moment?’

    Phew!!

    Stars sparkled in Alos’ eyes.

    It was the shock of being hit with a hammer.

    A groan escaped me without me realizing it.

    Chris’s bitter voice was heard.

    “The wrong you did to me. If you want to be forgiven, just kneel down and apologize at any time.”

    He spoke briefly.

    “Because I am generous.”

    like that.

    The duel… no, the beating has begun.

    * ? ?* ? ?*

    The duel was over in no time.

    Alos was carried away, knocked unconscious and turned into a cake.

    ‘Well, it’s that simple.’

    Chris thought to himself.

    Alos is his peer.

    It was only a two-star mine.

    Moreover, the Tyramine Count’s specialty is the ‘magic technique’ of handling demons.

    For a man who had mastered the art of swordsmanship to fight with his bare body was like a swordsman fighting with his fists without a sword.

    Normally, I would never engage in a bare-handed fight like this, but I made a mistake by underestimating Chris.

    “…Are you okay?”

    The mines asked cautiously.

    Although they were the ones who were at fault first, they still seemed worried that they had beaten up the young lord of the Tyramine Count family so badly.

    Chris answered calmly.

    “I only fought for my honor.”

    “!!”

    The mines held their breath.

    That was right.

    But the world doesn’t work that simply.

    “It is highly likely that Count Tyramine will not remain silent.”

    Chris was silent for a moment.

    ‘Probably so.’

    Originally, Count Tyramine did not like Chris.

    To be exact, I hated the ‘Khazar Counts’.

    The Counts of Qajar and Tyramine were rivals and enemies.

    They growl at each other every time they get a chance, so this incident will never go away.

    “are you okay.”

    “master?”

    “I have everything figured out. Don’t worry.”

    It wasn’t an empty promise.

    Even Count Tyramine’s wrath was part of Chris’s plan.

    [Oh ho ho. Our master is truly amazing. Girl, today too, my heart is pounding at the sight of the master’s wonderful appearance.]

    “Huh?!”

    “You, a ghost?!”

    The minions were startled by the sudden appearance of the fresh and beautiful Banshee girl.

    Chris was equally surprised.

    “Marie, when are you?”

    [I came here hiding in your luggage. I am a maid who promised eternity with you. I have to take care of you.]

    “…I don’t need it?”

    [Ohhoho. It’s really cute how embarrassed you look. I know you’ve been missing the girl’s bedtime.]

    Marie was so excited that she flapped her ghostly tail and flew through the air.

    [I will go to the market and get you some virgin blood juice.]

    “…Okay. Alcohol.”

    [Alcohol… right?]

    Marie tilted her head, and the others looked surprised.

    I expected that since I had beaten up Alos, he would stop acting like a loser.

    But Chris thought.

    ‘It’s still far away.’

    The plan is a mess.

    And Alos’ nightmare was only just beginning.

    Alos’ nightmare will not end until Chris leaves Tyramine County.

    [Ohhoho… Then what should we toast with?]

    Marie brought out the best liquor and filled everyone’s glasses.

    The price was a whopping 1,000 rupees. The bill was, of course, paid to Alos.

    The mines looked bewildered as to whether this was okay, but they were swept up in the atmosphere.

    But Chris was ginger ale.

    Marie and Mines were against it.

    “You are a minor, so you absolutely cannot drink alcohol.”

    They were strangely old-fashioned when it came to the topics of mines and ghosts.

    ‘Damn, I want to drink too. I hate ginger.’

    But there was nothing I could do.

    [A toast to the master and…my future?]

    “Okay.”

    Chris lifted his glass of ginger ale.

    “For wealth and honor!”

    So the place got deeper, and after we had drunk a lot (Chris had ginger ale), there was news I had been waiting for.

    An invitation came flying in from the count’s residence.

    The sender was not Alos.

    Count Tyramine.

    The master of the Tyramine Counts and the ‘Second Spear’ of the Dark Maga faction personally invited Chris.

    * ? ?* ? ?*

    Chris paid a formal visit to the Count’s residence.

    The moment he opened the door and stepped inside, piercing gazes were focused on him.

    They were the mines of Count Tyramine.

    The faces of the men who came with Chris hardened at the sight of their fierce hostility.

    But Chris said it was no big deal.

    “I guess I’m too handsome. You see, I’m staring at you so intently. Well, I guess I’m handsome.”

    “…….”

    I was sincere.

    Christian’s appearance was that of a nobleman, though he was arrogant and looked unlucky.

    Chris chuckled and said.

    “Quickly guide me to the Count.”

    The Tyramine Counts’ men looked slightly surprised at the sight of them not wavering even an inch.

    But soon he laughed.

    ‘That’s a bluff.’

    ‘Let’s see if I can hold my head up high in front of the Count.’

    The Tyramine Counts thought that today, that bastard would be given a good lesson.

    Eventually, Chris came face to face with Count Tyramine.

    Beside him were the vassals of Count Tyramine and Alos, who had been defeated yesterday.

    Bam.

    I could hear Alos gritting his teeth with his puffy face.

    ‘Your eyes are still alive.’

    Chris chuckled and lowered his head.

    “Meet Count Tyramine.”

    “Yeah, it’s been a while.”

    Count Tyramine rose from his seat.

    A huge, mountain-like figure cast a shadow.

    He was a man like a giant beast.

    His sharp eyes, like a tiger’s, were turned towards Chris.

    “I heard the story. You had a fight with Alos?”

    “Yes, that’s right.”

    Chris didn’t deny it.

    “Why is that? Even if Alos made a few ‘mistakes’ in treating you, they were excessive.”

    mistake.

    It was a blatant cover-up.

    Chris smirked inwardly.

    ‘I heard that’s the kind of personality you originally had.’

    A small, pitiful little guy.

    This was Count Tyramine’s comment heard from Count Kazar.

    “I’ll give you a chance. Apologize for what happened yesterday, and leave this place right now. Then I won’t ask you about your mistakes anymore.”

    Chris looked straight at Count Tyramine.

    Then he spoke in a voice that was full of arrogance.

    “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I just stomped on a bug that didn’t even know its place.”

    “!!”

    “And an apology? The only thing the strong can show to the weak is tolerance and mercy, so how can they apologize? On the contrary.”

    Chris gave a hearty laugh.

    “Alos, that guy should bow to me and ask for forgiveness. Bowing to the strong. Isn’t that the right thing for a weak guy to do?”

    “!!”

    Everyone in the room held their breath at those arrogant words.

    The Tyramine Counts’ men glared at Chris as if they were going to kill him.

    An atmosphere of imminent danger where the ice is shaking.

    The men who followed Chris had worried expressions on their faces.

    At that moment, Count Tyramine wiggled his eyebrows.

    At the same time, a strong, intangible force poured down on Chris. It was releasing magic.

    A heavy momentum that even a low-level minesman would not be able to withstand without kneeling.

    But Chris was different.

    ‘That’s all.’

    He didn’t even move, let alone kneel.

    I have experienced this kind of pressure and momentum countless times during the times of destruction.

    I could have endured it with my mental strength.

    Chris knew better than anyone.

    Even if Count Tyramine were a young man, it would be impossible for him to touch someone of the same blood as him over something like this.

    So there was no need to be afraid.

    Count Tyramine looked slightly surprised at Chris’ unexpected reaction.

    “You’ve changed.”

    “…….”

    “But you’re being presumptuous. The arrogance of an unqualified mine is just a delusion. Do you have the right to be like that?”

    Chris shrugged and answered calmly.

    “At least I can say that I’m more qualified than that guy Alos.”

    “!!”

    Alos, who was listening from the side, blushed brightly.

    “Shut up, you punk!! I just got hurt yesterday because I couldn’t use my magic!”

    Count Tyramine also nodded.

    “I agree with Alos. You know that yesterday’s duel was unfair, don’t you? How about we have another proper duel today?”

    Chris chuckled.

    ‘It came out as expected.’

    This was Count Tyramine’s goal for today.

    Defeating Chris with Alos’s spell in front of everyone.

    It was a way to show the arrogant Chris an example while also putting pressure on the nose of his arch-rival, the Count of Kazar.

    “Of course, I understand that dueling with a demon is burdensome. Instead, in order to have a fair duel, I will give Alos a penalty.”

    The art of preparation was a secret technique for handling evil spirits.

    So, if you duel, you will have to fight against the opposing mine and demon at the same time, so it is natural that you will have to fight at a disadvantage.

    “No, that’s not necessary. Instead, if you win the duel, please grant me a favor.”
