We continue over the rubble and approach the berth.

I knew it.

He seems to be dazed, but he doesn't seem to be seriously injured.

'Why would I ....... To a commoner like you .......

Oops.

Speaking of which, I almost forgot.

The condition of this duel wasn't supposed to be to make the opponent unable to fight, was it?

'Well?　Are you ready to tell me you've lost it?

'You filthy ...... inferior-eyed kid ......!　Who the hell would give you ......!

Good grief.

Can't we put our pride in something else?

It is the end of mankind to have pride in what others have given us, not in what we have built ourselves.

However, I am not an ogre either.

There's no point in pushing them any further, so let's call off this dueling game.

And just as I was about to show mercy to him, he said to me.

"Phew!

Bath's scream (for the second time) echoed with the sound of debris crumbling.

It was a familiar figure to me who kicked the rolling berth away.

'Err. ....... Lilith. What are you doing here?

I'm sorry. Mr. Abel. I found some trash lying around.

That's not what I'm asking.

You're a housemaid working in a bonbon nobleman's house, right?

It seems like a bad idea to use violence against your employer.

'Guboye ....... Lilith......!　What the hell is going on ......!

Shut up. Don't speak again. I will not allow you to insult Master Abel any longer.

What--?

Barth looked completely frightened as Lilith directed her killing intent at him.

Ahhhh~.

Barth, who not long ago liked Lilith enough to confess his feelings for her, right?

I have a feeling this is going to be a lifelong trauma.

"Dear Abel. I apologize to you, Mr. Abel. I should apologize for my negligence in directing this event.

No, I don't. I don't mind. I don't mind.

...... But by the looks of it, I'm guessing you received some pretty rude remarks from that one without my watching.

Yeah. I'm fine with the eye thing. I've been told that for a long time. You'll have to forgive him for the verse.

Compared to 200 years ago, such as what Bath said this time, it was a simple thing to say.

In the old world, there were many times when people were not treated as human just because they had the Amber Eye.

Humans in this world, that's right, they despise amber-eyed people, but they won't do anything more than that.

''Hey. You there.

Huh.

'Be thankful for Master Abel's generous measures. For once, I will make a special effort to let your sins go by the wayside.

............

I know. I know what you're thinking.

I know what Barth is thinking.

Probably the words you're thinking about saying right now are, 'How is it that I, a nobleman, am allowed to do this?　Isn't it usually the other way around!' But that's the last time I'd say that.

But if you say such a thing, that's the last thing.

You know that Lilith will kill you next time, so you can't say anything.

''Waaaaaah!　Ahhhhhhhh!

Sadly.

There's nothing Barth can do now that he's run out of ideas.

With his pride completely shattered, Barth just plopped down on the ground, crying out in misery.
