Parent-Child Quarrel
Nata, Edward's attendant, was trembling at the sight.
So did Edward, who was punched out, but that's because the person who punched him was Liam.
"Nothing like this has ever happened before."
Liam had never once scolded Edward when he misbehaved.
And yet just today he came rushing in with the landing force and punched Edward to the ground.
It was a bad idea to have an entertainment center in an office district.
It's understandable that Liam would be angry, but he never imagined that he would be so furious.
It was probably the same for Edward.
Even when he stood up, his knees were still wobbling.
It was hard for Nata to tell if this was because he had been hit or because he was scared.
(Both? Anyway, I have to protect Edward-sama.)
Nata immediately tried to move, but a hand reached behind her and restrained her.
A hand was also placed over her mouth.
"Nn?!"
When she turned around in surprise, there she saw a kindred figure.
It was a woman wearing a mask.
Her name is [Kunai], and she is the one who received her name directly from Liam.
"I'm sorry, but I can't let you get close to them."
Even though they are kindred spirits, Nata exists only for Edward.
She was raised so that if Edward told her to betray Liam, she would carry it out.
Kunai must have found such a kindred spirit troublesome.
When the hand that had been covering her mouth was removed, Nata asked Kunai.
"Edward-sama is in danger."
She turned her steely gaze to Kunai, saying that she had been raised to protect him even at the cost of her own life.
Kunai didn't seem interested at all.
"For Edward-sama's sake, don't get involved. This is a matter between the two of them."
"B-But..."
"Just watch."
Nata, restrained by Kunai and unable to move, had no choice but to follow orders.
Liam, who was looking at the trembling Edward, opened his mouth.
"If you'd rather be frightened by a beating, don't cause trouble, you stupid son. If you want to make a fuss, do it somewhere else."
When Liam realized that the trembling Edward had no will to fight, he lost his motivation and turned his back on him.
He then gives orders to the Marine Corps soldiers.
"Take Ed to the mansion. Leave the rest to Rosetta."
"Are you sure?"
"There's no point in arguing about it. There's nothing more I can do."
Perhaps refreshed by the single punch, Liam seemed to recognize that the matter was now over.
"Now, it's going to be a hassle, but let's clean up the mess. I'd like to blow this building up, too."
Apparently the entertainment facilities that Edward had prepared were not suitable for this location, so they were going to be blown up and the land cleared.
The brawny young men are just quivering with their mouths closed as Liam walks in with his armed forces.
They seemed to be hoping that the storm would pass quickly.
Meanwhile, Edward was shaking with rage.
He was clenching his hands, gritting his back teeth, and turning his steely gaze on Liam.
"No, Edward-sama!"
By the time Nata raised her voice, it was too late.
Edward activated the nasty bracelet he was wearing on his left hand, and a spatial magic circle appeared.
He grabbed a sword that sprang out of it.
By the time Ellen arrived at the scene, a commotion had already broken out.
She could hear people talking from the armored car.
A well-dressed young lady was conversing over the radio with her father, who appeared to be a high-ranking official.
"How dare you be so rude to Liam-sama!!"
"I mean, I don't think he'd go out in normal clothes!!"
The young lady was crying, but Ellen ignored her and passed by, calling out to a nearby soldier to check on the situation.
"Is Master —— Liam-sama inside?"
The soldier wondered at first, but when he realized it was Ellen, he saluted.
"Y-Yes! Now he is giving a chastisement to Edward-sama."
When Ellen hears it, she puts her hand on her forehead.
"I'm too late, huh?"
She quickly ran out and rushed inside the building, and there was Edward with his sword.
While being chased around by Liam, who was bare-handed, he unleashed the Flash while crying pathetically.
"Don't come any closeeeer!!"
But Liam just chased after Edward with a blank expression, and as he got closer he mercilessly slammed his fist into him.
"You damn brat!"
A fist slammed down on his head and Edward was knocked to the floor.
Seeing that, Ellen's heart tightened.
It was one thing that her cute little brother was crying, but even if he was not a good one, he was still her disciple.
(If I don't protect him, Master will kill him.)
Thinking that this was something she had to prevent, she jumped in front of Liam, who had his fist raised, to shield Edward.
"Guh?!"
Ellen was sent flying after receiving Liam's punch, but rolled on the ground, then quickly got up after taking a defensive position.
Liam, not even surprised by Ellen's sudden appearance, brushed his bangs aside.
"You were back"
"——Yes. I'm sorry for abandoning my duties as a knight. However, I have decided that I must return as a swordsman. I would like to apologize, including for what happened with Ed."
As Ellen got down on her knees on the spot, Nata, who had rushed in behind her, was holding Edward up.
"Edward-sama!"
Edward, who was being held up by Nata, seemed to be crying when he saw Ellen on her knees in front of Liam.
He must have thought that he had made Ellen kneel in a humiliating manner.
"——Master, I'm sorry. Because I, I did something unnecessary."
Ellen called out to Edward, who had begun to cry and whine, without moving.
"You should apologize not to me, but to Master —— to your father. You haven't apologized to your father yet, have you?"
Ellen thought that Edward, who had run away crying, had not yet apologized to Liam.
And she was right.
Liam lowered his fist as Ellen stepped forward and looked silently at Edward's face.
Edward apologizes, hugging Nata.
"I am —— sorry"
Hearing that, Liam let out a small sigh.
"You stupid son. Let's go back now."
Let's go back to the mansion —— Liam's words were about to end it all.
However, Ellen suddenly felt a chill and jumped up.
As it was, she naturally reached for the hilt of her sword, and Liam slowly turned around as well.
Liam stood in front of the intruder, as if protecting Ellen and the others.
"——Rinhou."
The person who was called frowned.
"Bringing parent-child affection into the Issenryu, my senior has become much more lenient."
Rinhou exuded an ominous aura and had traces of blood on her body.
