Chapter 199 A Night Walk with Louise (4)

Of course, it would be the best case scenario for Alfred if the other party was scared away.

But as the saying goes, alcohol makes cowards brave. Instead of backing off, the drunken idiot shouted at Alfred and Louise even more arrogantly.

"Huh?! I don't care who you are. This is a night street. No one will care even if something happens."

"I see...So, are you going to do something to us?"

"Hmph! I'll tell you something good, little brat. I'm the second son of Count Antoinette, Ben E. Antoinette. I want to have some fun with Louise over there, so you have nothing to do here. If you don't want to get into trouble, get out of here right now."

Ben said this, and was about to wave Alfred away.

"Junior, please don't kill anyone."

Louise, who was behind Alfred, warned quietly.

Louise certainly didn't think that Ben, who was no different from a gangster, could be a match for Alfred. But she was worried that Alfred might accidentally go too far and cause a conflict between the families.

"In other words, as long as no one is killed, there will be no problem, right, senior?"

"Stupid, that's not what I meant!"

Louise raised her little fist and hit Alfred on the shoulder.

Seeing the two of them playing like a couple, Ben's expression became distorted. His face, which was already red from being drunk, now turned red and blue.

But Alfred didn't care about Ben's mood.

"Hey, your name is Ben, right?"

Alfred confirmed with the other party.

"Huh? You're tired of living, aren't you, calling me by my first name?"

"You seem to be saying that no one cares what happens on the night street. Does that mean you are ready?"

"What do you mean, do you still think you have a chance of winning when surrounded by a group of us?

Forget it, teaching a lesson to the arrogant brat, especially the annoying brat of Illya and Alia, is also the responsibility of the seniors of the Imperial Capital's No. 1 Puppet Academy, don't you think? "

Ben gave a mean smile and turned to look at his companions behind him.

This group of equally drunk dandies responded with obscene smiles.

Illya and Arya have a feud with the First Puppet Academy in the Imperial Capital that has accumulated for nearly a thousand years. These guys seem to have found a righteous cause and are eager to attack Alfred.

"Look~ Let me, a kind-hearted senior, teach you about the dangers of the world today... woo..."

When Ben was about to take the magic ball out of his arms, Alfred's fist had already hit him in the face.

Alfred grabbed Ben, who was falling backwards, pulled his body towards himself, gave him a hard knee kick, and threw him towards the two companions behind him.

The three drunk and smelly boys immediately fell into a ball.

Then, Alfred grabbed Louise's waist and pulled her away from where she was standing. Alfred used a side kick to knock away the guy who was about to attack Louise from behind.

"Brother Al, do you have eyes on your back~?"

Louise laughed and teased. Her cheeks flushed and she looked quite embarrassed.

But Louise's strong self-esteem as a senior student did not allow her to scream like a little girl. She had to tease Alfred to cover up her embarrassment.

"I hope, Senior Louise, that you take this as my battle instinct."

Alfred smiled in response, then looked at the remaining people present.

They have summoned their own puppets.

Orc General, Ghost Knight, Arachnes... Although these puppets are very rare and seem to be of high rank, they give people a very weak feeling.

(Perhaps these guys are high-level puppets fed by the class potion that was very popular in the imperial capital some time ago. After all, their masters are so weak, it is hard to imagine that their ranks can be very high.)

Alfred speculated in his mind about the strange feeling revealed by these puppets.

He pulled out a dagger from his arms and rushed towards the Ghost Knight quickly.

Alfred nimbly dodged the ghost knight's sword by moving sideways, got close to the ghost knight's body, and stabbed the dagger mercilessly into the gap between the knight's helmet and armor.

The Phantom Knight, who had suffered a fatal attack, immediately lost his balance and fell to the side like a puppet with its strings cut.

The armor on his body also scattered the moment he fell to the ground, turning into armor debris like scrap metal.

"W-what?! Do you know what you have done?! I secretly took money from home and spent 10,000 Donya gold coins to buy this at the auction!!"

The young man who looked like the Ghost Knight's master immediately turned pale and let out a scream.

Alfred ignored him and attacked the Orc General.

But at this time, Arachnes spit out spider silk and wrapped it around Alfred's right hand holding the dagger, trying to restrict his movements in this way.

The Orc general took advantage of this opportunity and slashed at Alfred's body without mercy.

"Al-Junior?!"

Louise, who was watching, shouted in panic.

(It seems that these bastards are planning to kill me, so I won’t be polite.)

Alfred calmly took out a dagger with his left hand, dodged the orc general's axe, and pulled Arachnes towards himself with his right hand.

Without hesitation, he stabbed the dagger in his left hand into the neck of Arachnes' upper body, and at the same time swung the dagger in his right hand towards the orc general's forehead.

In an instant, the two puppets fell to the ground and died.

"W-what..."

“Are you kidding me? Is this guy a monster?! I must be dreaming, dreaming…”

The Orc General and Arachnes' master cried out inconsolably one after another.

"You, you bastard...how dare you do this to me? Don't think I will let you go."

Ben, who was surprisingly resistant to blows, got up from the ground and pointed at Alfred and yelled at him. He refused to give up and didn't even bother to take out the puppet ball, but directly swung his fist at Alfred.

(Hmm…it seems this guy really didn’t recognize me. Oh, if I had known this would happen, I should have shown up more often at noble banquets.)

Alfred sighed helplessly. As he moved his body a little, the hood covering his face had slipped down. But Ben and the others still didn't recognize his identity.

Although it is unlikely that the other party's attitude will change after knowing that Alfred is the heir to the Duke of Elect, they will most likely not actually attack Alfred.

After all, although the nobles looked down on the Duke of Elect, if they really had to face off, even the other six dukes would have to be prepared to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of their own.
