Chapter 133
Clael was attacked, and Reina swore to annihilate the humans targeting him.
Meanwhile, there were also humans here beginning to take action.
"Looks like everyone's gathered."
They had assembled in a room of the Royal Academy.
The one who stood before the table and opened the discussion was a blond afro-haired male student.
He was one of the capture targets and also the crown prince, Eric Seincle.
"Lately, there have been suspicious people lurking around the academy. On top of that, one of the teachers was attacked by thugs. When we interrogated those who were caught... it turned out their target was Reina."
"What the hell... You mean she's being targeted!?"
"Reina-san...!"
"Reina onee-chan is in danger!?"
The ones shouting in surprise were the other capture targets.
Vincent Flame, Will Rileis, Luei Biscuit... the close-knit group of four who even traveled together during summer break.
"What the hell is going on? Explain."
"Of course... It seems they were hired by someone to abduct Reina. We still don't know who the client is, but it appears there are quite a few others secretly after her as well."
While explaining, Eric's face twisted in anger.
To the four gathered here, Reina was a precious woman.
These four capture targets had their lives and values greatly changed—for better or worse—after meeting Reina.
That same Reina was now being targeted by someone... It was something they absolutely could not overlook.
"This is a crisis for the Saint, an important figure of the shrine. Of course, the knights and Temple Knights are already in motion. But... we can't just leave it all to them."
"............"
"I'm going to start investigating this incident on my own. To help Reina, I'll find and capture the humans targeting her with my own hands...!"
Declaring this, Eric looked at the three friends gathered there.
"This is just my intuition, but... I think there's a massive conspiracy behind this incident. If we carelessly get involved, we might get burned badly. But... knowing that, I still want to ask—will you all lend me your strength?"
"Don't be so formal. Of course we will."
Vincent slammed the table and declared.
"We're all guys who fell for the same girl. In other words, we're practically brothers. We may have been born in different places, but we'll die together."
"We can't let only Prince Eric face danger. Besides... we owe her a debt."
"Reina onee-chan belongs to me! Anyone who tries something bad is getting blown away!"
Following Vincent, Will and Luei also voiced their agreement.
"I don't know which reckless fool is behind this... but that woman—and that damn raccoon bastard—are my prey! I won't let anyone else touch them!"
"Thank you, everyone...!"
Gaining the support of his friends, Eric gave a deep nod.
"Alright... Let's gather more allies and collect information on the humans targeting Reina! Then we'll surround her and strengthen her protection!"
"Yeah, I'll use my dad's connections to check with the knights!"
"I'll try gathering info from the academy students. Maybe someone's seen something suspicious."
"I've got a lead too, so I'll check that out. Then... maybe I'll stick close to Reina onee-chan and play bodyguard?"
"I don't want Reina to worry as much as possible. For now, let's not tell her anything. The mastermind behind this incident is probably a big shot. Everyone, please be extremely cautious!"
"Roger!"
While Reina was moving to protect Amlet and Clael, who were both teachers, the four main capture targets also began taking action to resolve the incident.
In fact, if this were the original game, they would be the main characters.
Will they finally be able to strike back for Reina this time?
Or... will they once again be left behind, unable to do anything?
What fate awaits the four capture targets...!
