In the end, Vio came out to see the situation, bothered by the sound of the lightning strike “I’m sorry, Lord Violant,” Legion said. “They told me they would go home once I win a match, so I decided to go along with them. Please don’t worry since I have won. They are leaving soon.”

“Aren’t you the second son of the Lesserhains? W-what do you need from this rundown place?”

Viscount Fores’ anger changed into confusion, his eyes shifting between Violant and Legion. Seeing how he bowed in a hurry, Vio greeted him back. “Good day, Viscount Fores. I’m here to invite Dawn Samarelli to my town as a botanist. I hired him just now.”

“Botanist…? Isn’t that man a quack doctor?” Viscount Fores pointed at Dawn, who stood behind Vio.

Vio nodded. “He’s so excellent as a botanist that he’s even qualified to be a doctor. By the way, why are you here? …Ah, right. Now that I think of it, I heard some rumors,” Vio murmured innocently, even though he was the one who spread the rumors.

Watching Vio made Legion’s chest flutter. Lord Violant who is mean is also wonderful.

Usually, Legion would be depressed if others said that Vio was mean. However, seeing Vio act this way, especially towards a wicked person, gave him satisfaction.

Viscount Fores pursed his lips tightly, his face flushing, and glared at Dawn. “I came here to complain about that! Dawn Samarelli, not only do you refuse to hand your son over to be a servant page, you even have that weird guy tarnish my name! Shall I sue you for defamation!?”

Vio frowned. “Viscount, that’s really weird. He’s a victim whose son was about to be kidnapped. And yet, you come here to accuse him, rather than express your sympathy. Don’t you think you have made a mistake?”

Viscount Fores replied, trying to appease Violant. “Pardon my rudeness, Lord Violant. This is an issue concerning that man and me. As you are young, this might be too much for you to handle. I would like you to leave this matter to me.”

His reply was polite, but in a nutshell, he told Vio, “Back off, you outsider.”

Legion felt sullen, but Vio stopped him by raising his hand lightly. He waved his hand, gesturing at him to calm down. Even though Legion was reluctant, he obediently stepped back.

“Hmm, that’ll be troubling. He’s now my employee and his son is also under my protection. I’m sorry, Viscount,but I won’t let you take his son as a servant page.”

“W-what? Are you planning on interfering?”

“Ahaha, no way,” Vio replied, a peal of laughter in his voice. “You’ve already been refused by the guardian. You’re older than me, so there’s no way you don’t understand such simple logic, right? After all, you look level-headed.”

Simply put, Vio told the Viscount, “You don’t make any sense. Don’t look down on me just because you’re older. See if you dare make a fool out of me.”

Nobles argued in roundabout ways. Legion thought they should be more straightforward, but when Vio talked like this, he sounded graceful and calm. He wanted to listen to him forever.

Under their mask of smiles, the two glared at each other frostily. But Viscount Fores was clearly at a disadvantage.

Moreover, the residents of 10th Avenue had gathered behind the fence after hearing the commotion. They whispered to each other, talking about the rumors regarding Viscount Fores. Some of them looked at Viscount Fores like he was an insect.

Noticing that, Viscount Fores chose to keep up his appearances. He cleared his throat and glared at Dawn again. “Anyway, that criminal has nothing to do with me. Don’t spread weird rumors concerning me! Please excuse me, Lord Violant.”

“Yes. May you have the protection of the Verdant Spirit, Yuglena,” Vio said with a grin.

Viscount Fores’s expression distorted. But he left, unhappiness coloring his heart.

Vio sighed in relief once he couldn’t see him anymore. He then looked back at Legion. “Legi!”

“Y-yes. I’m sorry!”

“You don’t have to apologize. Bend down a little.”

“What? Okay…”

Legion thought that Vio would get angry, but Vio stared at Legion’s face instead when he leaned down. Then he took his hand. “What? You’re not injured? Since I heard a loud noise, you must have used magic, right? Jill, treat his wounds.”

“No, I’m not injured.”

“…You’re not?” Vio was suspicious. “But it’s magic, isn’t it? If those two weren’t injured, you’d be. Both of you were too close. You would have had to take a direct hit if you didn’t summon shield magic. ”

“I avoided it. I’m alright.”

“…No way. Legi, even if you can handle an Equestrian Dragon with a baton, being able to avoid that from such a short distance is…” Vio shook his head and turned back. Jill and Dawn nodded as well.

“I knew he was going to summon thunderbolt magic while he was casting, so I stabbed my sword like this, bent down, and avoided it,” Legion explained.

“A thunderbolt? The spell only took a few seconds though?”

“Anyone can do it once they get used to it,” Legion answered seriously.

Vio was amazed. He then scratched his head, his silver hair turning messy. “…Right. I can’t understand you. But it’s good that you’re well. I thought he did something to you, so I got angry and quarreled with him. How shameful.”

“Is that so? I’m delighted to know you’re worried about me!” Legion said, excited.

Watching him fluttering around made Vio’s eyes widen. He then chuckled. “You’re exaggerating as usual. I’m happy that you’re not injured. Ah, Dawn, please don’t worry about Yuan anymore. I’ll make sure he’ll be alright.”

“Yes. Thank you very much for your concern, Lord Vio. Yuan, thank him too.”

“Thank you very much, um… Lord Vio?” Yuan tilted his head, not confident if he called him by the right title.

Vio gently smiled. “Yeah, call me that. Well, I’ll take my leave now. Legi, Rille, let’s return to the inn.”

And that’s how Vio, Legion, and Rille returned to the inn, leaving Jill at Samarelli’s house.
