「I’m still not finished yet!!!」

He then grabbed it by the neck and pulled it up, slamming it down again and again.
Using the demon dog Gallam as a hammer, a hole was being drilled into the ground.
There was a merciless, relentless thud and the ground shook with each thud.
As he continued to do that repeatedly, there was the sound of a dead tree split broken mixed in, that must have been the sound of its bones getting broken.
It seems that he finally noticed that the demon dog Gallam was completely exhausted, and the giant’s big eyes, which had looked like a wrathful Nio statue, regained their amiability.
He took his hand away and stood up, looking embarrassed.

「I lost control of myself in anger and intervened in a one-on-one fight. To think that I just one-sidedly beat up a dying opponent…. I’m still quite immature….」

The deep voice said that with an annoyed tone.
The sturdy figure was like a mountain range that stood tall and strong.

「Ahh…!!」

Mary gasped in delight.

「…I knew you’d be okay…!」

Her eyes, moist with emotion, shone so vividly that I, a woman, felt a throb in my chest.

「…Haaa, I expected this. There’s no way that that general can be defeated so easily.」

Bradd grinned.

「Heyy!! General of the knights!! Don’t worry, those knights are still alive!! It’s just that they’ve been poisoned by that demon dog and fainted. The toxin is already gone!! Scarlet and Mary are also safe!!」

He called out loudly to the shore.
A sturdy and dependable man, the captain of the imperial guards, Matzo Jadeite Noel Valentine, stood on the ground with the weight of an enormous stone statue.

Matzo, you were safe after all!!

Mary and I rejoiced as we clasped hands.

Even so, I never knew that once Matzo gets really angry, he becomes as scary as a demon.
In my past「108 times」, he tried not to look like that around me so that I wouldn’t be scared.
He is such a kind man. No wonder he was surrounded by children everywhere he went.

「…I see, that’s a relief. The effects of that poison won’t last long after all. I’m glad to hear that everyone is safe. I apologize to the Crimson Duke for my rudeness in battle and for letting them fall in danger. I am ashamed to face the Duke.」

Matzo quickly assessed the situation from Bradd’s words and the surroundings, and after letting out a sigh of relief, he apologized to father and mother in a sincere tone.
Even though he had nothing to apologize for, it was very typical of Matzo to be so upright.
I’m relieved that he’s here.
He is often misunderstood as a self-made warrior because of his sturdy appearance, but Matzo is actually an ideal aristocrat who is capable of paying attention to details. I’m sorry, but he’s much more dependable than my father, who looks like a nobleman but only thinks about my mother inside his head.
I’m sure that my father would be more than happy to take my mother on his white horse and ride off to his bedroom, oblivious to the fact that we’re on a small boat.

「Don’t humble yourself like that, Sir Valentine. Thanks to the efforts of the Imperial Guards, I was able to reach my wife in time. I don’t blame you, on the contrary, I only have words of gratitude for you. There is no etiquette in subjugating a mad beast in the first place.」

Father composedly nodded towards him and mother had tears in her eyes.

「That’s right!! The members of the Imperial Guards are the true ideal knights…!! What should I say in order to thank you…wait, are you okay?」

She ran to the two knights who had regained consciousness, knelt down, and began to cry like a little girl as she stroked their backs. When she bent down in her sexy Melville battle costume, mother’s inner thighs were completely exposed.

「I-I’m okay!!」

「I can still move!!」

Witnessing the unbelievable scene from a low vantage point, the two imperial guards jumped up and down in panic while using a military tone.
Suddenly, a tremendous bloodthirst rushed toward them and we had goosebumps.
It felt like a winter north wind was blowing.

「That damned demon dog! It was still alive…?」

Matzo clenched his fists and glared at the demon dog Gallam, then he became bewildered.
When he looked down, the demon dog Gallam had his tongue sticking out and was still lying on the ground.
Yes, the suspected dog is completely dead.
And when I found out who was responsible for the bloodthirst, I covered my face with both hands in shame.

「…My Cornelia gently stroked another man’s back…! In addition, you guys saw it didn’t you. That sacred place. As the guardian of that sacred place, I regret to inform you that the witnesses must be dealt with.」

While riding on the white horse, my father’s eyes were burning darkly with a crazy determination.
He went crazy from jealousy and was overflowing with the intent to kill my mother’s benefactors.
The demon king, dressed in a crimson frock coat, had descended.

W-what does the guardian of the sacred place even mean!!
As if there is a sacred place that is completely visible at such an angle of 30 degrees!!
I won’t inherit that battle costume for sure!!
Contrary to his appearance as a nobleman, he is too narrow-minded!!
What「Unfortunately」, no it’s not!! What’s unfortunate is you?!
Compared to Matzo, who turned into a demon when he saw his injured subordinates, he became a demon king because of jealousy!?
I feel too embarrassed as his relative!!
No matter how much he loves my mother, please stop doing this stuff.

「… Umm, your father, is he maybe that? The Foolish Duke?」

Bradd asked with a dumbfounded look on his face, but I was too embarrassed to even look up.

That’s right!! You got it spot on!! Thank you very much!!
Half the blood flowing inside me is from that hero, who is also a foolish man!!

The atmosphere became tense as if we were in a critical situation due to an unexpected and stupid reason, but the reliable Matzo quickly settled the situation.

「…The Crimson Duke. Everyone in the imperial guards have wished for the reunion of you and your wife. Even though they are foolish, they managed to survive the fight. Please take a look over there. Although they were late, they tried their best to rush over here as soon as possible. Even though the Duke has managed to reach here faster than us, I am ashamed to face the Duke….. We have just one request, would you please give us some reassurance by happily embracing your wife?」

The sound of many horses’ hooves roared in the middle of Matzo’s words.
Then I saw the cavalry of the imperial guards galloping down the slope where the cliff had collapsed, their bright blue and red outfit fluttering in the air. Their well-coordinated movements were as beautiful as a festival procession, displaying their skills. I knew it, everyone was safe!!

「Not a single missing person. As expected of them.」

Bradd quickly checked the number of people and happily whistled his compliments for them.
I made a conjecture about the situation and felt like sighing.
The imperial guards were worried about us and tried to rush here, but father with his white horse jumped over and overtook them.
He did such a stunt against the most powerful Knights Order in the country, he has completely stopped being a human.　

Anyway, what is going on here!? This excessive force gathering !!
A demon king-like father, the demon-like Matzo, the strongest Knights Order, my mother who is the archer of a sanctuary, and Bradd who is a prodigy of military arts.
……An incompetent castle would likely surrender in no time against this wonderful line-up of members.
With all these members, even if the demon dog Gallam was still alive, it wouldn’t have any chance of winning.

「Madam, now that everyone has rushed here. Hurry up.」

「We’re all right now and it would be a reward for us to see the two of you getting along harmoniously with each other.」

The two imperial guards also read the situation and tried their best to be careful not to touch mother while urging her.

My strange father has caused them to feel anxious, I’m sorry for that….

「… As expected of the Hydrangea Imperial Guards. The true knights who are both brilliant and skilled. Now then, come over here Cornelia. Let’s respond to their feelings.」

Riding on the horse, father had completely recovered his good mood and nodded in satisfaction as he saw mother walking timidly toward him.
Mother was constantly concerned about our small boat.
