Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

The two sides fell into a brief stalemate.

[Perseus] was wary of the strange abilities displayed by Izayoi Sakamaki, while [No Name] was concerned about their original plan.

Apart from their unpleasant words and actions, it was reasonable for the other party to want to take away the slaves who originally belonged to their community. If a fight really broke out, they would be in the wrong after all.

What's more, they were planning to buy Leticia back from the other party through a transaction. If a conflict occurred here, it would be difficult to have peaceful negotiations afterwards.

however--

"...Why can you confidently say such unreasonable remarks?"

At this moment, Black Rabbit finally reacted and looked up at [Perseus], ​​with a look of intense grief and anger, completely different from his usual lively and optimistic image, and shouted angrily:

"Lady Leticia clearly exchanged her own divine status for this period of free time. Why are you forcibly taking her back?"

"What?"

Hearing what Black Rabbit said, Fujimaru Ritsuka and others were slightly stunned.

This was the sad truth that Black Rabbit accidentally learned during a conversation with Leticia last night after Fujimaru Ritsuka and others went back to their rooms to sleep.

Leticia possessed both the [Pure Blood Demon Race] and the [Divine Nature], which gave her the power to call herself the [Demon King]. However, after losing the [Divine Nature], her strength was less than one-tenth of what it was in her prime.

The so-called [Godhood] is such a powerful and precious gift.

However, even if the Demon King seizes, he can only take away talents, not gifts. Especially gifts like [Divine Power] which are equivalent to a part of the soul, cannot be forcibly taken away without the consent of the master who controls the gift.

In other words, losing the gift was Leticia's own wish. Under Black Rabbit's constant questioning, Leticia reluctantly confessed that she had exchanged her own [Godhood] for this opportunity to go out freely.

I am willing to exchange such a precious gift for just three days of freedom, and I am willing to make such a painful sacrifice, just to see them.

Black Rabbit was deeply moved by Leticia's choice, but at the same time, he couldn't help feeling very sad and heartbroken, and it all turned into a determination to welcome her back.

But now, the three days have not even arrived. Faced with [Perseus]'s abominable behavior of not abiding by the agreement and his bad attitude, even the innocent and gentle Black Rabbit couldn't help but become angry.

After hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others who understood the hidden truth also changed their expressions. Izayoi Sakamaki once again looked at the knights of [Perseus] above him and shouted loudly:

“Hey! In other words, you’re the ones who are being unreasonable, right?!”

"……snort."

The captain knew he was in the wrong, but he didn't show any shame. Instead, he sneered contemptuously:

"For people like you who can only struggle at the bottom, [No Name], if you dare to interfere with our work, what will happen even if we kill you? I'm afraid no one will know that you ever existed, right?"

The team members behind him also laughed, and their laughter was full of arrogance and contempt. It was obvious that they thought the same.

Jiuyuan Feiniao sighed lightly and said with some dissatisfaction:

"A familiar villain's statement... I've only been in the Little Garden for two days, and I've encountered two unsightly communities in a row... Black Rabbit, is this the rare case you mentioned?"

"Ugh...!"

Although he wanted to explain himself further, at this moment, Black Rabbit felt that nothing he said would be convincing, and could only droop his rabbit ears in shame.

On the other side, Izayoi Sakamaki subconsciously looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, wanting to ask the other party what he was going to do now.

After all, Fujimaru Ritsuka is the protagonist of this plan.

However, he personally believed that judging from the arrogance and contempt for [No Name] displayed by the other party, even if they temporarily backed down, their future [Purchase] plans would probably be in jeopardy.

As he was thinking this, he noticed that Fujimaru Ritsuka had raised his right hand at some point, as if asking to speak.

Are you still behaving like a good girl at a time like this?

Izayoi Sakamaki was a little surprised, but he soon realized something was wrong because the sky seemed to be getting darker.

The sky, which was originally clear in the morning, was gradually covered by dark clouds. The knights of [Perseus] in the sky also noticed this and looked up in confusion. At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand fell down neatly as if giving an order.

"Crack!"

"Rumble...!"

In an instant, thick lightning penetrated the sky and earth like the power of heaven, completely engulfing Perseus's team. The dazzling lightning that burst out in an instant made the scene in front of everyone's eyes turn white, and then dull thunder rang in everyone's ears, deafening.

When their vision gradually returned, everyone looked carefully and saw that the team of [Perseus] that was originally showing off its might in the sky had now fallen to the ground, their bodies and limbs twitching slightly, their bodies charred and unconscious.

The dark clouds that had just gathered overhead quickly dissipated again, returning to the original sunny morning, which seemed even brighter than before.

"What was that just now...?"

The sudden change in the situation made everyone blink in surprise and confusion. At this time, Kuon Asuka and Kasukabe Yō suddenly thought of something, and they turned their heads at the same time and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka beside them and said:

"You did this, didn't you, Ritsuka?"

Excluding natural coincidences, if there is anyone who can achieve this artificially, it can only be Fujimaru Ritsuka, the weather god, right?

But compared to the romance and sweetness that the other party had shown them before, this was undoubtedly a truly thundering move.

"Hey, Ritsuka-sama...?!"

Black Rabbit barely reacted, looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka in disbelief, and then -

"Snapped!"

"Why did you do this so suddenly? You didn't even inform us in advance!"

Black Rabbit took out a paper fan from somewhere and hit Fujimaru Ritsuka hard with it, crying and looking devastated:

"What are we going to do about the deal with [Perseus] now?!"

"Hahaha……!"

Izayoi Sakamaki on the side burst into laughter, forming a sharp contrast with the sad-looking Kuro Usagi.

"Anyway, judging from the performance of those guys, they probably don't think highly of us and won't lower themselves to trade with us [No Name], right? If that's the case, it would be better to teach them a lesson first."

Kuro Usagi felt that what Izayoi Sakamaki said did make some sense, but she still felt a little aggrieved:

"Although I feel very happy about this, what should I do next?"

If there's no way to save Leticia, there's no point in being happy now.

The instigator, Fujimaru Ritsuka, said with a smile:

"Don't worry, the other party probably didn't realize it was me, so he just needs to deny it. Even if he saw it, we are just fighting back in a legitimate way."

"As for the deal with [Perseus]... doesn't it give us one more bargaining chip now?"

"Eh?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard this, then followed Fujimaru Ritsuka's gaze and looked at the unconscious members of [Perseus] on the ground. Then their eyes lit up and they understood her plan.

Izayoi Sakamaki laughed with interest:

“Now things seem to be getting interesting.”
