Chapter 58 - 058: Grain

The battle between Elsa and Baal is very intense, ball of fire magic shoot to everywhere Elsa set her foot, but with her speed, she can evade it.

Elsa didn't just run around evading the fire magic, she is also trying to land a hit on Baal, but every time she stabbed him, Elsa needs to extra cautious, because like what happened in their first exchange, Baal body will explode and can burn her.

They're in a deadlock

"Do you mind if I participate?"

That's a voice of Kise who positions herself behind Elsa and sandwiches her with Baal.

"I want to see more flashy battle, so you didn't mind I participate, right?"

Sezan come out of the mansion and floating to Baal

"Doll? No, there is something else inside it" Elsa appraises Sezan and come to the conclusion there is something alive inside the doll. "Speaking of which... there is quite a lot of unfamiliar face here... and some familiar face too"

Inside the mansion Rem and Subaru watching the fight with Ludwig stood in front of the door blocking the way to the mansion.

"It's very not favorable for me to continue this fight, but it was not like you will let me go either, right?" Elsa asks playfully even if she is at the disadvantage, it did not make her nervous at all.

"We can discuss it after we imprison you"

"Well then that's really regrettable because I didn't have a plan to surrender"

When she completed her speech, Elsa throws a crystal to the sky and it let out fire magic to the sky, and it can be seen from several kilometers away.

Its seems it was a prearranged sign because after the fire shoots to the sky-high, a lot of demons beast rushing to the mansion from the surrounding forest.

Seeing this turn of events Kise swing her scythe and numerous wind blade slice the beast and kill them on the spot.

But all of this didn't make the horde of beasts cower in fear, the smell of blood makes them more stimulate and more lively.

Surprises by the sudden attack from the demons beast they're late to react when Elsa dash to the mansion and jump to the window where Rem is pushing Subaru out of the way and ready to confront Elsa.

But before Elsa can reach the window she feels her body is receiving a strong impact and before she know what it was she is sent flying to the gate of the mansion.

"Hmmm, all of you can settle her easily but decide to play around, and look at all of this commotion"

Arthur appeared in the roof of the mansion without anyone who noticed him and Emilia, he wants to see what his spirit can do, but it seems they're a bit too confident in their ability so he decided to interfere because Elsa is targeting Rem.

"It seems He is already entering the sanctuary so he and Elsa can't communicate and this is the result"

The thievery of the badge, the bowels hunters, the demons beast in the village, the curse user, and many other things are orchestrated by the clown, Roswaal.

All of this is just for shaping Subaru

"That's what he intended to do and what he followed with the gospel guidance, and my existence didn't appear in the gospel, oh you woke up?"

Elsa come out of the rubble and staring to Arthur

"I didn't think you will appear here, which one I need use to call you? Arthur? Or the white tiger?"

"It doesn't matter, you can call me whatever you want, but I want to recommend you to surrender so I can interrogate you"

"do you think I will accept your demand?"

"if you want a fight I was ready anytime"

"She is captured... it's very troublesome mission"

From her deduction, if the demon beast stop coming out of the forest then that's mean her companion is captured by the enemy.

And her deduction is turn out to be true because there is a humanoid form of sword petals that escorted a little girl who has olive-green eyes and hair that is braided on one side, she wears a blue dress with a light blue collar.

"Meili"

When Elsa see Meili there is a hesitation in her eyes to surrender or fight for it.

"Arthur, you can't scare a little girl like that"

In the midst of the deadlock Emilia's voice is heard and make the situation more complicated

"Seriously... I can't treat my enemy like this... oh god, I forget this side of her"

Emilia is good-natured and likes to take care of others, though she herself refuses to admit it, instead of thinking of it as her own selfishness. So when the enemy is a child-like Meili Emilia will think a way to resolve it without violence.

"It's better if I didn't bring her here"

"Are you talking something, Arthur?"

Maybe Emilia heard his murmur so she looks at Arthur with a questioning look

"No, Nothing" and Arthur denied it decisively

"Then can you spare her? I know we can't let her unpunished but can you be more lenient? She is children after all"

"Oh man... it was a frustrating situation for me... do you want to spare her too?" Arthur point his finger to the stunned Elsa "she is nearly killing you and Rem before"

"But she said it, she was hired by someone, maybe she has her own problem. Also, there are no casualties right?"

"She killed a lot of people before, brutally"

"May...maybe the person she killed before is bad people?" Emilia try to make another reason but it makes Arthur more depressed, it seems she bends to spare them

"Bad people, including you?"

"Anyway! They need another chance! Will you hear me or not?"

Look like Emilia run out of reason to cover Elsa and Meili so she raises her voice and glared at Arthur.

"Oh god, I always hated a person who spares their enemies but here I am with someone like that..."

Arthur look to the sky and helplessly agree to Emilia request, but after that, he took out two grain from his pocket and approach Elsa and Meili.

"Swallow this grain, this grain has Special ability to erase your very existence from this world, this is more potent than the white whale mist. As long as you loyal to Emilia and didn't make any malicious intentions to her in any possible way this will just reside in your heart" Arthur pauses a moment and look at Emilia who seems have something to say

"I didn't care if you want to see it as slavery but this is my bottom line, Emi" Arthur shoot down Emilia's opinion before she can say it.

"And don't even think about spare other people next time because you think I have a lot of grains"

And Arthur makes it clear to Emilia who has her mouth open because she wants to said exactly what he denies.

"Also, you two need to wear this"

Arthur tossing pendant to Elsa and another one to Meili, the pendant have a shape of the crescent moon from crystal, with the red one for Elsa and green for Meili.

"The red one will suppress your bloodlust and lift your status as a cursed doll, and the green one is for store all of the miasma like aura so it will not leak to other people or the surrounding. You two will live in the Alfheim, don't worry there is no one that will threaten you two in there, including your Assassination Guild in Gusteko"

Arthur explains the use of the pendant to Elsa and Meili before she turns his head to Rem and Subaru.

"It's good you're fine Rem, you too"

"It's because of your help Arthur-sama, ow!"

Rem bows her head politely, maybe because of her actions Arthur flick his finger to her temple.

"Discard your formalities with me, Rem, from now on you will live in the Alfheim, Emilia's city. You can rest ȧssured there will be other people who keep this mansion, and I didn't accept 'no' as an answer"

Rem want to ask another thing but when she sees his face, Rem swallow her question

"Thank you, Arthur-sama, then Rem need to prepare first"

"That didn't need, Charles will settle everything for all of you"

And Arthur transfer Rem, Subaru, Elsa and Meili to the Alfheim.

Leaving him and Emilia in the outside of the mansion.

"Arthur you mad at me?"

Emilia ask carefully, and she looks sad

"Hmm... it's not mad... Maybe this is where our preference is different, let's not talk about it, are you hungry? I will cook something for you"

"No, you said it yourself, you're nearly useless in cooking and just know about recipes"

"Can you not remember something useless like that?"

"No, you're awful at cooking and that's a fact, rather than letting you cook, I will make it myself"

Emilia declares proudly about her not yet proven cooking skills.

"Just you wait and see, I will make you begging me for another serving"

Emilia walk to the mansion and heading to the kitchen with Arthur that smiling following her from behind.

"She is so easy"
