"What are you doing, Kurando? 

The loud voice belonged to Julien Michel.

In his arms was Kotomi, dressed in her nightclothes, looking a lot thinner than she had two weeks ago.

A dagger was held to her neck.

"Kotomi!"

Kurando peeled his eyes and called his daughter's name.

Sam and the others could not hide their surprise at this unexpected turn of events.

(I can't believe you brought Kotomi-chan here, what good timing you have, for now I can only thank you for your stupidity!)

Kotomi was trembling in Julien's pale-faced arms.

It must be terrifying for a girl of only twelve years old to be held up by a dagger.

And she was facing an angry Julian. She did not know when the dagger would strike her.

Still, it was important that the missing girl was here.

"Father,...... I'm sorry,...... it's my fault."

It seems that Kotomi is aware that she is being held hostage.

"Kotomi doesn't need to apologize. Has he done anything to you?

"Uh-huh."

"Please, Mr. Julien. Please let my daughter go.

"Don't play with me! You promised your mother you would kill the kid! Then kill him quickly! Kill me, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

Julian's bloodshot eyes flashed at Kurarayan as he spat at him, and it was hard to believe that he was insane.

There was no telling when his dagger might hurt Kotomi.

(I'm glad you brought Kotomi with you, but I don't think I can talk to her. If something happens to Kotomi, it would be a big problem.)

Even though Kotomi is here, we can't do anything indiscreet as long as we are being held hostage.

Sam clicked his tongue.

"Julian! What a despicable thing to do! Let go of Lady Kotomi!"

"Scum. Let go of Kotomi."

Liese and Hualien accuse Julien, but he does not understand them.

Instead, he found Liese and started smiling broadly, as if he knew what was going on.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, Liese! It's Liese! Yes, I've got an idea! Hey, Lise! If you don't want Kotomi killed, you kill the kid!"

"-- hey."

"Tell me which life is more important!"

Julian, of all people, told Liese to weigh the lives of Sam and Kotomi in the balance.

"Kotomi! Let my sister go, Julien!"

"Please don't, Mr. Julien!"

Amemiya and her son appealed to Julian, who made a crazy proposal, to free Kotomi, but there was no way he would listen to their wish.

"And you too, Kurando! You're a sword saint, but you're useless! Besides, your mother told me! I went to the trouble of offering Mizuki as a wife, but she refused! If you want, I'll even rape you and your sisters right here and now!"

Please don't!

"--Father?"

Apparently, Mizuki had never heard of Kurando's rejection of Julian, who wanted a daughter.

Sam and the others did the same. And I think it's a good decision.

If they had given their daughter to such a man, who knows what they would have done to her.

Please, please let go of her!

As Kurarayan reaches out with his hands and pleads, Julian spits in his face.

"You always make me so nervous! Well, we knew there were no good women to hold the sword anyway. I don't want any savage women in my life! But I'm betrothed to the little brat, and Lady Stella deserves me. Just the thought of being able to do whatever I want to the princess excites me!"

Sam felt the urge to hit Julien for saying whatever he wanted, but he had to do something about it, so he looked around and saw Günther.

He gave a small nod. Knowing what he was thinking, Sam decided to turn Julian's attention back to him.

"Come on, Lise! Kill Samuel Scheidt for me! Then I'll be happy to do it for you again!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! You can't function as a man because I crushed your crotch, so who are you to tell me what to do?"

Sam burst out laughing, exaggerating to get Julian's attention.

Then Julian glared at Sam with bloodshot eyes.

"You son of a b*tc*! You're the one who got me into this mess!"

"You had it all coming!"

"Don't play with me, ah ah ah ah ah!"

Julian's face turned red and he shouted angrily at Sam's provocation.

At that moment, there was a slight gap between Julian and Kotomi's bodies.

"--I agree with Sam, as a fellow man I am very uncomfortable."

Günther did not miss that slight opening.

Günther snapped his fingers, and the wards covered Kotomi's body, sending Julian's body flying away.

"--oh?"

As soon as Julian, who did not understand what had happened, made a dumb noise, Sam and Kurando moved.

"Well done, Günther!"

"I'm looking forward to your reward!"

"Tell that to Kurando-sama!"

Sam and Kurando are wounded, but they do not intend to fall behind Julian.

Without the hostages, they are no match for him.

"I won't forgive you for what you did to my daughter.

With a single swing of his sword, the kensei slashed down on Julian's right arm from the shoulder as he gripped the dagger.

"Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

As Julian screams out, Sam comes close to him and swings his sword down.

"--Kirisakumono!"

Julian screams for the second time as his left arm is cut off from the shoulder.

Sam punched him away, telling him to shut up.

Julian, who no longer has an arm to support him, falls to the ground on his back.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...!

Julian, realizing that he has lost both arms, screams for the third time.

Sam stomped on his face as hard as he could, his face a mess of tears and runny nose as he sprawled on the ground.

"Shut the f*ck up already!"

Sam let out a deep breath as he took his foot off Julian, who had stopped twitching.

"Father!"

"Kotomi!"

Kotomi, who was able to escape safely from Julian while protected by Günther's warding, rushes to her father.

Kurando also ran toward Kotomi and hugged her small body as hard as he could.

It might be tactless to interrupt their reunion, but there was something he needed to ask her.

What should I do with him? I leave it to Kurando-sama to decide whether or not to kill him. I don't care about him anymore."

Sam took one look at the fallen Julian and spat.

Kurando looked at Julian and shook his head, his eyes sadly downcast.

"I don't care either. For now, all I care about is that Kotomi is back safe and sound. ...... Samuel, Günther, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving Kotomi."

Kurarayan then removed Kotomi's body from her and placed it in the hands of Mizuki, who was standing behind her, bowing his head as his father had done.

"Let me settle this. Now, kill me."

"Father!"

"Father!

"I seriously tried to kill you, Samuel, even though you were holding my daughter hostage. That is unforgivable.

"Are you serious?"

Yes, I'm serious.

Sam walked up to Kurando and clenched his fists.

"Sam! Please don't kill my father, father!"

"Master Sam! It's my fault! So please forgive your father!"

Ignoring the pleas of his daughters, Sam punched the kurajin as hard as he could on the cheek.

"......Why?"

Kurando, his cheek pressed and his lip bleeding, looks at Sam in disbelief.

Sam grabbed Kurando by the chest and yelled at him with all his emotion.

"There is no way I could kill you! There's no way I could take your father away from Lady Mizuki and Kotomi! Don't you dare try to complete this for your own satisfaction!"

Unsatisfied, he punches Kurando again on the cheek.

"I don't want to kill you and live with the hatred of Mizuki-sama and Kotomi-chan! If you want to make amends, live to make amends! Isn't that right, Kurando Amemiya!"

"--Yes."

Kurando was in tears.

Sam does not know what he was thinking as he wept.

But this was the end of a duel that had begun for a trivial reason.

"If you still want to fight, then let's fight fair and square, with no regrets. Let's make it a simple fight to decide who is stronger. Dueling is just fine like that.

After saying this, Sam pulled his hand away from Kurando's.

Kurando falls to his knees, and his daughters run to him, crying and hugging each other.

Sam watched this scene for a while, and then a shadow came near him.

"Sam, I will take care of Julien Michel.

"Günther?"

My role is not only to put a ward on this house. Kurando Amemiya, I'm taking you to court, to His Majesty. You won't complain, will you?"

"...... will of course accompany you."

"Günther, you."

Günther winks at Sam.

He was originally supposed to be the one to take the kurajin to the palace.

It was inevitable since the king had heard of the duel.

Kuramoto will be penalized in some way.

And Michel's family, of course.

(But that's enough. I'm tired today. I want to go home and relax with Lise.)

"Come on, let's go home."

When Sam called out to Lise and the others who had been watching over him all along..,

"Huh?"

Slowly, Liese's body tilted in Sam's vision.

With a thud, Liese collapses.

"Liese-sama!

The unexpected event made Sam involuntarily run to his beloved.
