「… Have a lot of people been attacking you lately… ?」

「Well…」

I phase through Suzu’s words, who had changed into her usual equipment before I knew it. But for once, I was saved. I almost died of shortness of breath…

「So? Who the hell are you?」

「Hmph. I don’t have to give my name to someone who’s about to die」

「As expected, Heavenly Prison Chapter」

「H-How did you know!?」

「…… As expected, Heavenly Prison Chapter」

The only thing I could think of that had to do with people suddenly attacking me was the Heavenly Prison Chapter, so I said it and it was really true. But why did they come to attack me? Did I do something to them…? I was thinking, “That war?”, It was essentially me who stopped the war…

「W-Well, if I’ve been discovered, so be it. Your life… I’ll take it!」

「They’re coming!」

「Un!」

──Tatatan! Tatan!

The man breaks off the conversation and makes a sudden move. The man throws a needle. As I am in a room right now, I can only avoid it as swinging my sword around is dangerous as it can hit furniture. The needles I avoided hit the floor and walls, but I want to fight outside somehow because this will make the floor and walls worse… Suzu apparently feels the same way.

「Intruder-san, why don’t we fight outside?」

「I refuse!! 《Tracking Needle》!」

──Shushun!!

This time, the needle that I avoided was followed by a needle that bent and tracked me like light refracting. When I flicked away the needle that was about to hit me with a small movement of my sword, the needle remained on the floor and did not move at all. Apparently, once it is attacked… It seems that the magic wears off when it receives an impact.

「《Thunderfield》」

「!?」

One word from Suzu and the room is electrified. Not just the floor, but the walls and ceiling too.

「Now we can have all the fun we want! 《Thunder Burst》!」

「Ugu… !?」

Lightning dropped indiscriminately from the ceiling towards the floor. The man seemed to have been partially hit and was writhing in pain.

Incidentally, there is no particular damage to the floor caused by lightning. This is because the electricity that is spread across the floor absorbs the impact. That’s why Suzu said earlier that we can enjoy it as much as we want.

「… The odds are against me, I’m going to have to pull one over on you!」

「I won’t let you get away…」

「Wha!?」

──Dogo!! ……Baryiiin!!!

I went around the man’s bare back, grabbed him by the torso and threw him against the window. The window shatters with the impact, but I’ll think about that later and follow the man blown out of the window too.

「Gu… U… Gafu… !」

「Please surrender」

「… I refuse!」

「Then I’ll turn you in to the Adventurer’s Guild」

「…」

The man, who could not take the blow properly, fell from the height of the second floor and hugged the ground with his back, which must have caused considerable damage. In contrast, I landed cleanly and pointed my sword at the man.

He still had no intention of trying to resist in this situation.

「You will be killed one day… I failed, however」

「…」

「Aya. Forget about what that guy said. I will protect Aya!」

「Suzu…」

「But not the broken windows, okay?」

「I’m sorry!」

We then turned the man in at the Adventurer’s Guild and logged out in the house with broken windows.

It is also a punishment…
