Chapter 56 – How Much I Need to Repay You to Become Your Worthy Partner? (Yuzuriha’s POV)

A luxurious aristocratic mansion was filled with corpses.

The slaughtered corpses of around a hundred guards are piled up in the hall. There is not a single clean corpse to be found there.

One corpse had a palm-sized wind tunnel through its torso with a whole chainmail.

One corpse was torn from side to side from the groin up.

One corpse was a whole body rolled up like a meat dumpling.

Another corpse was cleanly missing from the neck up, and the remains of the head were smashed and stuck to a wall 10 meters away.

A bug-crushing purge show that would be impossible without overwhelming violence.

They were made by just one girl.

“Hmm, was that the last one of them…?”

Yuzuriha, the direct eldest daughter of the Duke of Sakuragi, the one who caused this tragedy, spoke to herself as she checked her surroundings.

She is a girl who has been on the battlefield since childhood and has earned the nickname Killing Goddess of War, in neighboring countries.

But the past, when Yuzuriha was called so, is nothing but a bitter memory for her now.

Because she now keenly realizes how much of a narrow-minded person she was in the past, trapped in her own limited perspective.

The reason I survived was simply the result of only fighting weak enemies.

If I had encountered an enemy as strong as Suzuha-kun or me, not to mention Suzuha-kun’s older brother, I would have been killed like an insect.

Just like these people—

Outside the villa, the Royal Knights have set up a tenfold and twentyfold siege, making sure not to let even a single insect escape.

Yuzuriha, however, was alone in the house of the hostile nobility to carry out the purge ordered by the new queen.

Around a hundred guards were waiting for her.

Soldiers from the upper class nobility, they were well prepared for infighting. They could not be weak.

But Yuzuriha crushed a hundred of them together as easily as if she were twisting a baby’s hand.

Moreover, Yuzuriha was armed with bare hands against the fully armed guards.

On the contrary, Yuzuriha wasn’t even wearing armor. She was dressed in nothing but her underwear.

This is because, as Yuzuriha continued her purge, she came up with this idea.

I might as well use these moments when I’m completely naked—for example, when I’m in the bath or when I’m intimate with that guy—as training scenarios for being attacked. Yeah, let’s go with that.

That wasn’t the case at first.

At first, she would normally go in with the knights, but as the overwhelmingly brutal purge continued, Yuzuriha eventually started infiltrating alone. After a series of victories without a scratch, her equipment became simpler and simpler, and she finally went from wearing only a shirt and a knife to wearing just her underwear.

From an outsider’s perspective, it may seem like nothing more than reckless behavior, but Yuzuriha also has their own reasons and arguments for her actions.

I have big b*****s. I need to get used to some of the moves I make when I’m attacked without a bra.

Needless to say, Yuzuriha’s milkers are even bigger than a ripe melon.

And it goes without saying that, in combat, the presence of b*****s is a disadvantage. The bigger they are, the worse.

After all, the lumps of meat on her chest are shaking back and forth and left and right, as if they are about to be ripped off.

Even if she usually wears a bra to keep them tight, one never knows when they’ll be attacked when they’re not wearing a bra.

That’s why Yuzuriha has always wanted to train in real combat without a bra.

But there’s no way I could shake my chest in front of Suzuha-kun’s older brother without a bra. T-That’s indecent…!

In that regard, if the targets of the purge are the opponents, there would be no need to hold back or feel any hesitation.

At that point, even a random pebble on the ground becomes insignificant. Moreover, when facing a male opponent to be purged, the threshold for shame and modesty significantly decreases.

The guards who were forced to deal with her had nothing but bad luck.

“However, since I started receiving training from Suzuha-kun’s older brother, it’s surprising how much I have unknowingly grown stronger. Until now, I had only fought against Suzuha-kun and her brother, as well as ogres, without facing regular soldiers, so I hadn’t realized it…”

When Yuzuriha, wearing only a pair of underwear, was standing in the middle of the hall, contemplating how easy it would be to unite the world if she and the Suzuha siblings got together…

“Die, you b***h! Fireball!”

“!!!”

One of the guards, who had been pretending to be dead at point-blank range, fired his magic from behind Yuzuriha with all his might, using the last of his strength.

Yuzuriha was caught off guard and didn’t look back in time.

A fireball with all its might hit her bare back and—it disappeared.

Yuzuriha’s skin did not even turn red, let alone burn.

“…Eh?”

“W-Why!? Why doesn’t the magic work!?”

Completely ignoring the half-crazed guard, Yuzuriha widens her eyes and then breaks into a satisfied smile.

“I see. Suzuha-kun’s older brother protected my back—”

“Huh!?”

“…Suzuha-kun’s older brother not only guides us but also gives us thorough massages once the training is over. Of course, the back is no exception… Through the repetition of training and massages, my body has unknowingly been honed to the point where it is unscathed by ordinary magic, leaving only superficial scratches…”

“W-What are you talking about!? That’s not possible!!!”

“But Suzuha-kun’s older brother is a sly one… Even when I’m fighting alone, he protects my back. It’s a bit excessive for him to be such a reliable partner to entrust my back to… Fufu, I wonder how much I need to repay him to become his worthy partner? Just thinking about it makes me feel dreamy, no, rather tired of it…”

“A chance!”

With Yuzuriha completely in her own world, the guard gathered his last ounce of strength and made a suicide attack with his sword at the ready… However…

“Noisy.”

The frustrated Yuzuriha gave the man a half-hearted heel drop.

Yuzuriha’s heel effortlessly drives into the head of the guard, causing it to sink into the torso, and subsequently crushing the entire suit of plate armor, creating a large hole in the floor of the grand hall.

The guards’ bodies and equipment collectively became stains on the floor .

And just one second after executing the foolish guard who disrupted her blissful daydream, all memories of the guards had completely vanished from Yuzuriha’s mind.

However…

No matter how many of her tremendous combat skills she displays, Yuzuriha is never proud.

Because strength is relative.

“—If I were to oppose Suzuha-kun’s older brother, I would probably be killed even more easily and effortlessly than these security guards.”

Yuzuriha vowed once again to be diligent.

She would never, ever turn against her partner, the man who saved her life, even if it meant turning against the country.

All because she wants to be strong enough to at least be able to say with pride that she is his partner—
