"Stop!

"Hmm?

On this day, as usual, as I was out on the town with Angel, a swordsman's voice jumped into my ears.

I turned my attention to the voice.

A girl was being tangled up with a man on a main street full of Molech residents.

The girl would be about 16 years old. She looks strong, but she's an impeccable beauty with a good nose.

The guy on the other hand is probably around 20 years old. The face is well-groomed here too, but it's a pity that the frivolity prevails.

The man is hitting on her with frivolous and conventional phrases and the girl hates it.

It's a bad pick-up job.

Passersby are either watching from afar or just ignoring you.

"Master Alec, we have to help him.

"Yes, let me help you. Angel doesn't leave my side. And keep your healing magic ready to use.

"Yes!

Cheerful lovely Angel. With her in tow, he goes towards them.

"Why don't you just leave it at that?

"Get out of my way--you're a kid. It's a decade early for a child to be on the right side of the street--

"Sleep.

Don't waste time talking back and forth. The magic of sleep quickly subdued him.

The man collapsed in an instant and began to sleep in the middle of the main street, making a lantern and breathing in his sleep.

I'll deal with the man later, I wonder if the girl who was tangled up with him is okay.

When I turned to the girl, she was staring at me with a very serious face.

What's wrong? There's something on my face.

"No, it's nothing. Thanks for the help.

That's a disaster. Are you hurt anywhere?

"Yeah, I'm fine. He just grabbed my wrist.

"Oh, the wound on my wrist.

When he fell, his claws scratched at you. Not a big deal.

"Angers

"Yes! Mmmmmm. ...... Heels!

Angier stepped forward and held out his hand to the girl.

The result of his training with me. With a very practiced hand, Angier cast a healing spell on his opponent.

The red scratches on the white skin healed quickly.

Meanwhile, I decided to work on the man.

I held out my hand to him with a lantern and chanted a spell.

"The Climbing Cuffs.

The magic learned, drawing knowledge from the Philosopher's Stone.

The spell became a pattern of light and formed a loop on the man's right wrist.

At first glance, the loop looks like a bracelet.

Then he took a piece of parchment and a pen from his pocket and wrote on it as if it were an official document.

The bracelet on your right hand is magically made and tightened if you try to commit a crime.

I'll have it off after a year and you can come to the house.

I filled in the effects of the magic handcuffs, the climbing cuffs, and signed my name as baron and put them in the man's pocket.

At about the same time as we finished, Angel's healing spell ended.

Good job, Angel.

"Ehehe. ......

Angier grinned happily.

.

My name is Eliza. Thank you for your help earlier.

You're welcome. I'm Alec and this is Angel. Nice to meet you.

We left the scene where the girl was involved and went into a nearby coffee shop.

After saying her name, Eliza asked me.

"But you're still a kid and you can do hard magic.

"You know what? That thing.

I've never seen it before, but I know it's advanced magic. I know it's a long-lasting spell.

I see you're looking forward to it.

Eliza is right.

Attack and healing spells are not too difficult, so to speak.

Also, magic that fundamentally changes the nature of things isn't the most difficult.

Magic that works and maintains the "magic effect" for a long time is the most difficult.

How long does it last, that one?

It's permanent.

"Persistent!"?

Eliza is astonished.

"I knew it would last, but I didn't think it was permanent," is the response.

''Yes, it's only going to go away if the person dies or I can disarm it. It's a spell that prevents you from doing bad things, so it needs to last as long as possible or it won't work.

"I guess it's as magical as ...... rumors say.

"Huh? What did you say?

It's nothing.

Eliza mumbled something in a depressed tone, but when she heard it, she was kind of coy.

"You gave him a trial right out of the gate,

Yes. I'm the son of the Carlyle family, the lords of this area. I've been helping my father with that lately.

"You mean you routinely judge bad people? With that magic.

Yes.

Not my intentions.

Yeah, it's a pain in the ass. They should just throw the guy in jail.

It's not so good.

Why?

"Do you know about the Afterlife Judgment?

Of course. You know, the theory that after you die, you do a statistic of your life's good deeds and bad deeds to determine your reincarnation rank.

It's not a theory.

I actually went through it, being reborn as Alexander Carlyle without having my memory wiped out due to a minor mix-up, so I know it's not a "theory" or anything, but it's a fact.

It's easy to put people in jail for their crimes, but that's depriving them of the opportunity to do their good deeds and get their books in order at the Last Judgment.

So you're going to release them into the wild to convert them.

"Yes, that's what that magic is for. It reacts to bad things you do and stops you. If you keep doing bad things, the worst thing you can do is tear your wrists off.

But it doesn't matter, some people only do bad things. I don't care if my wrists are torn off or not.

"People like that are ...... sorry, but it's best to kill them.

"Can I kill you?

"Before you repeat your misdeeds

It reminds me of the bandit who killed 461 people and was reborn as a daphne.

If he had been killed at the time he killed the first one, he would be a pauper in his next life, but he would still be human.

If I'm born again early, I should be able to reset my memory and personality.

So I think it's better to kill (stop) the helpless evildoers as soon as possible.

I have a strong sense of helping, not judging.

Hmmm.

What is it?

You don't sound like a child.

Maybe.

I chuckled.

I couldn't help but talk about it.

Normally I try to act like a child of a certain age, but for some reason, with Eliza, I talk more seriously.

"And I'm a much better person,

How about that?

It's not a compliment, because it's a way of thinking that hurts. Good people usually have a lot to lose.

I see.

That might be true.

But I think that might be a good thing.

Eliza chuckled.

"But I like it.

Really?

If we were closer in age, I would have made you my girlfriend.

Thank you.

Even if it was flattering, I was kind of happy.

.

On the way home after parting with Eliza.

I saw Angel walking side by side with her, somewhat dazed.

"What is it, Angel?

Eliza. I thought she was very beautiful.

Do you think so?

Yeah. You had such beautiful eyes when you were talking to Alec.

That's right.

I see what you're saying.

Eliza said I wasn't childlike, and I was thinking the same thing.

She looks like a girl of about 16 years old, but her mental age is a little older.

I could be like that.

Those are the eyes of someone who, for family reasons, has stood on the family's financial backbone since childhood.

"Really? Uh, a struggling person?

Yes, someone who has taken on an unwanted hardship but is not rotten. . precious.

That's right. ......

It's a beautiful thing, but Angier will have a different type of beautiful eyes if he keeps this up, so don't go for that one.

Yeah, okay. I'll do as Alec says.

Good boy.

I patted Angier's head.

Angel laughed, and then looked at me with begging eyes.

What's the matter with you?

"Dear Alec, I wonder if I can help the man ...... in any way.

I see, you responded to the "I'm taking the trouble" part, Angel.

Yes, I will help you when the time comes.

Yes, yes!

"Angel is a good boy. Your next life will be better too.

"Really?! Then I want to be with you in the next life, too!

Ange's uninhibited favor is a bit irritating.

Want to hold my hand?

"Yes!

Returned to the mansion hand in hand, together with Angier.

The usual walk, a peaceful time.

It was like a cleansing experience.

It all went away as soon as you stepped onto the grounds of the mansion.

It's a gap!

With a shout from the shadows, my father slashed at me with great force.

He was wielding a huge sword even bigger than his own body, made for slaying horses on the battlefield, and he was attacking me.

I quickly created a magic ball of fire.

I let out my magic power and spun it in the air at great speed.

With a high-speed spin, the magic ball instantly curled up to meet your father's great sword.

Just like the other day, the magic sphere melted the great sword like butter.

''Mm! That's my Alec. You have easily combed through the custom-made Orihalcon products.

Orichalcone, what are you doing to make it out of such a super rare metal, father?

"Hmmm.

Father grinned and quirked the corners of his mouth in a proud manner.

I was horrified. I had a bad feeling.

"If we invite the Emperor to do this, we can inadvertently show off Alec's genius!

I distinctly remembered your father's words the other day.

The exact same form of ambush, but with a higher grade of the rare metal orichalcone.

Could this be--" "Father, I'm afraid so.

Father, I'm sure you didn't really do it, did you?

"It's not going to happen! I've done to my Alec, there is no way that I could have done that.

Are you sure?

He turned his skeptical eyes to your father - not to mention his confession.

"Hmm. . if there is one, it's the 'I gotcha' one.

"......

I thought it was worse than that. You're a convicted felon!

This is ...... coming.

It's definitely coming.

And they've been seen.

They've seen your father appealing to "my Alec".

I should have stopped him harder. I never thought you would actually pull the emperor out.

Sometimes words are no virtue, father.

This is a good son, Lord Carlisle.

I'm sorry.

"And he's too old a son to be Sir. Had you been born into the imperial family, you would have been a great ruler instead of me.

"You are absolutely right!

I heard a dignified voice from beyond the father.

Ironically, the irony of my being lifted up pleased my father greatly.

I couldn't help it, I thought I'd better say hello.

"Huh? Eliza sister?

"Huh?

Surprised by Angel's words, you look again at the one on the other side of the father.

It was Eliza, the one you helped in the city earlier.
