「Wait, Erica-sama! Please wait! You don’t have to intervene, Erica-sama!」

「Shut up! I hate spoiled men like that!」

「……I suppose.」

Sam reached out to calm Ecika, who looked annoyed at the boys, but she brushed him off.

Erica has a strong sense of justice as well as a selfish streak.

For better or worse, she has a straightforward personality, and there’s no way she can ignore the boys who are being arrogant.

Sam had no choice but to follow Erica’s lead.

「Hey, you!」

「What the hell? If you have nothing to do with this, stay out of it!」

Erica, without taking a step back, shouted as loudly as she could at Dolgana, who was uncomfortable.

「You are a nuisance. Everyone else is standing in line, and you can’t even take your turn?」

「What the hell?」

「Let’s not do this, Erica-sama. Nothing good will come from getting involved in something like this.」

「No! I hate people like this who think they’re so important when they’re not!」

「I understand how you feel, but you’re wasting your time getting into trouble with these people!」

Whether you are the son of a nobleman or a commoner, it is troublesome to deal with people who can’t follow the rules.

Especially if Erica, who has a high temperament, gets involved, it’s easy to see how the problem might get complicated.

The viscount boy who called himself Dolgana was glaring at Erica with clear anger in his eyes.

「You… mock the Viscount Lansgully!」

「I’m making fun of you! But yes, a house that can’t even educate its children properly is a house of little consequence.」

「You!」

The enraged boy raised his arms.

Sam rushed to stand in front of Erica.

But the boy’s arm did not swing down.

(―――Hmm?)

He noticed that Dolgana, who had stopped moving, was looking at Erica as if she was prizing her.

His gaze became more and more disgusting, and finally, she began to flick Erica around.

「Hmm. You’re not bad looking for a commoner.」

Dolgana smirked.

「What the hell?」

When Erica noticed her gaze, she shuddered and hid behind Sam’s back.

Dolgana’s smile deepened as he thought of something, and he twisted his lips at Erica, ignoring Sam’s presence.

「I challenge you to a duel.」

「Eh?」

「Ha?」

Erica and Sam both made dumb noises.

They couldn’t understand why the agitated boy had suddenly calmed down and challenged them to a duel.

When Sam and the others were at a loss for words, Dolgana continued.

「I didn’t think you were going to run away. You’re not going to try to run away, are you?」

「No one is going to run away! I’ll take it! I’ll fight you in a duel or something!」

Sam’s head hurt as Erica easily took advantage of the cheap provocation.

He intervened to prevent further trouble.

「Erica-sama! Why are you so easily provoked? You need to calm down.」

「Shut up!」

「Erica-sama!」

「I said shut up! I’m determined to buy every fight I’m sold!」

「What kind of resolution is that?」

Erica glared at Dolgana without looking at Sam, as if the blood was rushing to her head.

Sam sighed and tried to get out of the situation, at worst by force.

It seems to me that people like Dolgana and Erica are not a good match for each other.

In addition to this, the fact that Erica has been provoked, Dolgana seems to have some kind of plan in mind. 𝓫𝓮𝒹𝓷ℴ𝓿ℯ𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶

The look of anger that he had shown earlier was nowhere to be seen.

That was weird.

「You’re a noisy squire… Fine, if you’re so worried about your master, I’ll let you join the duel.」

「What are you doing?」

「But that would not be equal. I’m going to let my followers join the fight.」

Standing behind Dolgana were a boy and a girl not much older than Erica.

The two of them are probably planning to fight as their master said.

They stepped forward from behind their master.

「Hey! There are three of you and only two of us!」

Erica, who had found herself at a disadvantage of three against two in the duel, shouted in protest.

「You’re the one who started the fight, so you have to do this. Or have you lost your nerve?」

「Who you said poor squire!」

「So you don’t mind, do you?」

「I don’t mind!」

(I can’t take it anymore. This young lady is talking with only her gut. There’s nothing I can do to stop her.)

Sam had given up trying to stop Erica.

「Alright, that’s enough. Now let’s duel! If I win, I’ll make you my slave!」

「What? Hey, I can’t let you do that.」

「You shut up! All right, try as much as you can!」

Sam tried to complain about the sudden declaration of slavery, but was interrupted by Erica, who was supposed to be on his side.

「Oh, geez! Erica-sama, please don’t talk anymore! What are you doing taking this ridiculous duel so seriously?」

「It’s none of your business! I’m the one who accepted the duel!」

「I’ll tell you what, I don’t want your squire, but if I have to make him a slave, I’ll make him a slave with you!」

「Look! You’re dragging me into this! I mean, when was the last time you had a duel where the loser was the slave?」

「I don’t know! As long as we win, we win!」

「Let’s think about the consequences!」

Sam screamed, but Erica didn’t stop.

Before they knew it, a formal duel through the Adventurer’s Guild had been quickly arranged.

Sam and Erica were to fight on the condition that the loser would become a slave.
