"...!"
For just a brief moment it looked like Cranberry's action would end the whole thing and she will kill the system's savior - even Caramel herself flinched and became pale as a ghost as she turned around expecting a glowing baseball bat to appear out of nowhere and aim at her head to pulverize it into nothingness.
/Unable to leave the quest area
"...tsk...!"
But the first one to realize that such a thing would not happen was the blue undead who saw the system message pop up in front of him, even though he did not make a move.
There was only one explanation for such a thing to happen...
"..."
Cranberry reappeared just a few feet away, right where the boundaries of the invisible walls were set up.
Her furious face said it all.
"Pffft...! Ahahahahahaha! You really thought that it would work?!"
Another person walked out of the crowd, clapping their ash-colored hands and laughing joyously after watching Cranberry's failed attempt at attacking.
The person was tall and their face was hidden underneath a hood.
"Do you remember me? Dear big sister?"
The hooded person stopped laughing and instead pulled down their hood and revealed the handsome face with piercing green eyes glaring down at the shocked red-haired villainess, perfectly covering for the speechless Caramel.
"...how come you're alive...?"
The authentic shock on Cranberry's face made Mason frown.
"Oh my, surprised that one of your victims actually returned seeking justice for what you did to them?"
Mason tilted his head and asked in a mockingly innocent voice.
"Today is the day of your trial when the villainess will be judged for all her sins!"
The green-eyed young man spread his arms and announced to the confused crowd.
"...?"
"..."
Zombie tilted his head in confusion while Cranberry squinted her eyes and glared at the all too happy ashen-skinned young man.
"And although I feel like I'm the one she hurt the most, I at least wasn't enslaved by her and forced to do her biddings through the years..."
Mason sighed and shook his head from left to right.
"It's time to announce miss Cranberry Pride's first crime! The murder, corpse desecration by turning him into an undead, and enslavement of the poor villager boy that everyone can see standing by her side! Her first victim, Kiwi!"
Mason's voice raised as if the ashen-skinned young man expected the blue-skinned corpse puppet to come forth with some sort of incriminating speech against the ashen-haired villainess.
"..."
And considering how Cranberry simply gritted her teeth and lowered her head, it seemed like she shared the thought.
"Ugh! Shut up, you dumb fuck, Kiwi was such a stupid name, to begin with - Zombie is so much better!"
"!!!"
Zombie's annoyed response raised flabbergasted reactions from the crowd mainly because he concentrated on the completely different thing than they expected.
"Some of you might say that the murder part couldn't be blamed on her, since she was so young and didn't have any control over the carriage...
Mason didn't even blink at the blue undead's response and just continued his incriminating speech in a calm and steady
"And with that, I agree. That fault falls on her father Blackberry Pride, who had the proper skill to stop the said carriage."
"...?"
That calmness alone was enough for Cranberry to notice that something was off but coupled with the mention of her father, who was currently missing together with lady Goji, made her flinch and raise her head to glare at the gray fallen elf.

"And he was already punished for his crimes before this party even started."
"!!!!"
Mason responded to the shocked Cranberry's glare with the brightest smile and raised waved his hand towards her.
His gray hand was shining with a bright light and the skill that was used caused the grand chandelier above Mason's head to sway in the same exact rhythm.
"...haa..."
Cranberry breathed out, barely able to keep her anger at bay.
"Oh, and just so you know, dear sister, we've also hidden lady Goji away so you wouldn't be able to harm her."
"Bastard."
Mason continued even after Cranberry scoffed an insult at him...
The calmness that the fallen elf had stolen off of Lord Blackberry just as he did his skills surely did come in handy because otherwise, the green-eyed half-elf would fly off the handle at anything that could be connected back to his parents - including the insult.
"Hey, green-eyed trash, how did you survive being bathed in my venom? I'm pretty sure that I submerged the Envys mansion in it... your life signature wasn't there - because you had died."
Zombie put his left hand against the invisible wall and tilted his head, glaring at the ashen-skinned half-elf.
"This speaks for itself, Cranberry Pride had corrupted this poor soul to such a degree that it became her blind follower."
Mason smirked and turned to the other guests.
"Are you an undead now, is that it? No, even if distorted, you do have a life signature..."
The blue undead furrowed his brows at the young man leading an event-worthy show instead of moving on.
*•±±{<«^¤¤»*
Suddenly, the next thing that came out of Zombie's mouth were not words but a stream of violet fire that crushed against the invisible wall, bathing the bystanders in violet light.
This fire breath besides being stronger had one advantage over the venom cannon - it dispersed into the thin air before it could touch the red-haired villainess.
"...! You...! You shouldn't have that power in this route...!"
The sight of the violet flames caused Caramel to become even more shocked.
"Shut up reincarnated pile of waste - once I'm out of here you'll be the first one to die."
The blue undead canceled his skill since it couldn't penetrate the barriers raised by the system, and spat through his teeth without even looking at the light brown-haired young woman at the side.
"Reincarnated...? Ah! You two have met with Patience by any chance? Ahahaha! Poor you! How does it feel knowing that it's over for you?"
Unfortunately, instead of upsetting her, Zombie's words visibly lifted up Caramel's mood - she went ahead and turned away from the blue undead and asked an outrageous question to the red-haired villainess.
"..."
Cranberry's face twisted with fury and...
*BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM* *BOOOOOM*
"!!!!!!!!"
"KYAAAAAAAAAH"
"FOR THE LOVE OF SYSTEM...!"
...she unleashed a trashing so overwhelmingly powerful that even though she and her eternal servant were surrounded by the invisible walls of the system, the whole royal castle shook from each hit causing the other nobles to panic - and even the white-haired child tensed up and a drop of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"Haa...? So even though you can use some of the system's powers, it still is something that tires you out... HA HA! HA HA! HA HA!"
That strained expression didn't escape Cranberry's eyes and made her burst out into ugly laughter sounding more like a dog's barks than anything else, before taking a step back to wind up for another, more powerful, series of blows.
"Zombie! We're breaking this. Now."
Cranberry demanded as her eyes, body, and weapon all shone so bright that no one could even look at her anymore.
