The Main Heroines are Trying to Kill Me-Chapter 458: Side Story - The Battle Royale (3)
- Creak…
Blinking as I looked inside, I slowly started to close the front door.
- Clunk…!
But the door stopped midway as if caught on something.
“Young Master?”
Kania was holding the doorknob.
“We’ve been waiting for you.”
She said while pulling me into the hotel.
“We were just about to go find you, but you came in on your own.”
“What are you saying…”
“Please come in. You won’t be able to leave anyway.”
Sweating nervously at Kania’s ominous words, I glanced back to see the door already firmly shut.
“”…””
It seemed there was no way out.
No choice, then.
I had to brace myself.
“…Umm.”
Taking a deep breath, I stepped into the lobby and took a closer look at the heroines I had glimpsed earlier.
“…What’s going on?”
Kania, who usually wore only black suits, was now dressed in a frilly maid outfit, her expression as serious as ever.
“Damn… One of the few aspects of my identity…”
Irina stood with her arms crossed, looking highly displeased.
“…But this maid outfit is quite constricting.”
“Right?”
Next to her, Isolet kept tugging at the tightness around her chest, with Ferloche nodding in agreement.
“I don’t mind it…”
Lulu, who had been panting and trying to show off for me, looked down at her chest and muttered in a gloomy voice.
“What’s your plan?”
“Plan? I just thought this peaceful solution would be better.”
Meanwhile, Serena, who had magically hidden her pregnant belly, and Ruby were conversing casually.
“A-A noblewoman like me… i-in such a lewd maid outfit… Uuuu…”
“…If you think about it that way, what about me? The future Empress of the world’s strongest nation?”
Roswyn was blushing like a tomato, fidgeting restlessly, while Clana seemed resigned.
“What on earth is going on…”
To be honest, just a moment ago outside the hotel, I was wondering how to stop them from fighting. Now I was utterly confused.
- Whooosh…
Even though the atmosphere seemed peaceful, the intense killing intent from before was still palpable.
“Hmm.”
But I couldn’t back down now.
I had to use this moment to solidify my position.
“You know why I’m here, right? Everyone.”
Otherwise, a peaceful future couldn’t be guaranteed.
“We need to sort this out, so let’s all take a seat…”
So, I needed to take the lead and…
“It’s okay, Frey.”
As I tried to start a conversation, Ruby, who had been talking to Serena, approached me with a smile.
“Everything’s already been settled regarding that.”
“…What?”
What did she mean already settled?
“So, just follow us.”
“You just need to participate.”
Without a chance to ask what she meant, I was pulled along by Ruby and the other heroines.
“…This isn’t right.”
Why did their smiles look so scary?

A few hours before Frey arrived at the hotel.
“”…””
The atmosphere in the lobby, where all the heroines had gathered, was chillingly cold.
Contrary to the arctic atmosphere, the air itself was quite heated.
- Whoooosh…
Irina, who had revealed her dragon scales after a long time, had a massive fireball burning on her outstretched finger.
“Are you trying again?”
“…”
“Is the last person standing going to take Frey?”
“If it’s going to be decided by battle, I won’t back down.”
Next to her, Kania, Clana, Ferloche, and Isolet were all emanating their own auras, refusing to yield an inch.
Marriage Registration Form
In the center of them, on the table, lay the marriage registration form, which would take effect as soon as Frey signed it.
The killing intent surrounding the white document intensified.
“S-Shouldn’t we… stop them?”
“Not yet.”
Roswyn, who was sitting on the sofa with a timid look, turned to ask, and a calm voice replied.
“W-Wwhy…”
“You need to get used to these everyday disputes too.”
Serena, leaning back on the sofa, spoke with a gentle and relaxed expression, contrasting sharply with the heroines ready to draw blades at any moment.
“B-But… these disputes have nearly destroyed the hotel three times over the past few days…”
“I have a plan.”
“Uuh…”
Having witnessed the ‘disputes’ unfold firsthand, Roswyn still murmured with an uneasy expression.
“…Lulu, doesn’t this seem dangerous too?”
Turning to Lulu, who was quietly lying next to her, Roswyn asked.
“If we don’t stop them now, another big fight might break out…?”
“…”
But for some reason, Lulu remained silent.
“Lulu?”
Roswyn began to shake her shoulder, hoping for help, since Lulu had confidently claimed she wasn’t aiming for the legal wife’s position, only to be Frey’s loyal pet.
“…Ah.”
Seeing Lulu’s eyes briefly flash ruby red as her concentration broke, Roswyn opened her mouth with a suspicious expression.
“Don’t tell me, you were trying to secretly use your Magic Eyes to stop everyone…”
“It was a good attempt, but we’re not at a level where your hypnosis would work anymore.”
Before Roswyn could even finish her question, Serena confirmed Lulu’s plan.
“Too bad, I could have stopped the fight…”
“Stop with the sneaky tactics. You can’t win Frey through underhanded means.”
As Serena and Lulu’s conversation continued, Roswyn, scratching her head in disappointment, turned to look at Lulu with a blank expression.
“…Tch.”
Just as Serena had said, Lulu stretched and loosened up, looking regretful.
“Everyone’s gone crazy…”
Finally realizing there was no one to trust, Roswyn muttered fearfully.
“It’s fine.”
Serena, watching her, gently stroked her belly and whispered.
“Why…”
“Because the winner will be me.”
At that moment, Serena’s lips curled into a smile while she gazed at her belly.
“Well then…”
“What is this? Are you fighting again?”
A nonchalant voice echoed from the entrance.
“…”
For the first time, Serena’s unchanging expression twisted into one of surprise, albeit fleetingly.
“I told you not to fight.”
Ruby smiled at Serena and lightly waved her fingers.
- Whoosh…

With that elegant movement, the various magic circles and weapons summoned by the heroines disappeared simultaneously.
“Stop with the childish squabbling and sit down, everyone.”
As soon as Ruby finished speaking, silence filled the lobby.
“Do you really want to settle this by fighting?”
“…”
“Do you think you can beat me?”
As Ruby’s eyes gleamed, everyone’s expressions subtly changed.
“Well, I don’t plan on fighting you all.”
Ruby, sitting next to Serena, quietly smiled.
“But we can’t continue this indefinitely.”
All eyes were now focused on Ruby.
“I have a proposal.”
.

“So… everyone agreed to resolve this peacefully?”
“Yes, Frey.”
Back to the present.
“Violence doesn’t solve anything.”
“That’s true, but…”
Frey, sitting at the head of the dining table, nodded with a rather burdened expression.
“But… what are these?”
Frey asked, looking at the nine covered dishes on the table.
“It’s the first round.”
Standing next to Ruby, Serena spoke in a soft voice.
“First round…?”
“You just need to judge which of these nine dishes tastes the best.”
Listening to her, Frey began to look at the table with a blank expression.
“Very simple, right?”
“Don’t feel too pressured, Frey.”
“Just choose based on your senses.”
“Yeah, we won’t show any hard feelings if we lose.”
Contrary to their word, the killing intent permeated throughout the hotel only intensified further.
“…Hahaha.”
