“Vichyssoise.”

The witch’s smile froze over.

She forgot she was even holding the servant as she turned and looked. Standing there was a black-haired boy, covered head to toe in dust. There were only faint scrapes on his cheek and forehead.

“You again?”

“…Now you’ve really done it. I almost died again.” Iska held his astral swords. The white sword could release the astral power sealed away by the black counterpart just once.

If he hadn’t had Talisman’s astral power at his disposal, he would have been blown away with the first floor by the Magic Shot of Corpses.

He’d seen the astral power once before. His split-second reaction had made the difference between life and death.

“How inhuman can you be?!” Iska cried out.

The witch was quick to make a judgment call. After fighting him once, she knew it in her bones—fighting this Imperial swordsman was dangerous.

“Let go of Sisbell!”

“You were seven seconds too late, intrepid knight.” The witch hurled the servant at Iska. She hadn’t just tossed the servant; she’d basically launched the girl like a human cannonball.

“Guh?”

“Ah-ha-ha-ha! Too bad I couldn’t off you. But it’s over now.”

Iska caught the girl. In those few seconds, the witch leaped out of the window with Sisbell over her shoulder. She used gravity to levitate in midair. Even Iska could no longer go after her.

“This place was destroyed by the Imperial soldiers. Several hundred citizens have already witnessed it. You have no place to run.”

“Vichyssoise!”

“Good-bye, Saint Disciple. I’d be pleased if you were buried with the castle’s wreckage.”

The ceiling began to creak. After being on the receiving end of the Magic Shot of Corpses, the building itself was leaning to one side.

“Lady Sisbell!”

“Stop.” Iska grabbed the hand of one of the servants who had run to the window. “You won’t make it in time. You need to focus on saving your own life.”

“Let go of me… What do you know? She’s important to the Lou family. What good are we as servants if we can’t even protect Lady Sisbell?!”

“We’ll go save her,” Iska said.

“What?” Her mouth hung open, her eyes wide.

What nonsense was this Imperial subject spouting? The two behind him suddenly lost the ability to speak.

“We’ll save her. We’ll go rescue her right now, so get out of this place and hide in a safe location.”

“…What are you…? Keep dreaming, soldier…” The girl didn’t stop trying to shake Iska off as he held onto her hand. “What can you do? You want us to trust you?! Lady Sisbell was kidnapped right in front of our eyes! And you just watched!”

“You let yourself get taken hostage,” Jhin chimed in.

“Uh!”

His comment stopped the girl in her tracks.

“Why do you think Iska called out that witch’s name to distract her? If he hadn’t, you would’ve been roasted by that monster, and your life would’ve been over.”

“……Th-that’s…”

“If you hadn’t been taken hostage, there was a fifty-fifty chance that we could’ve gotten Sisbell back. Those chances nose-dived when you let yourself get hotheaded.”

That was why Jhin had tried to stop her at the beginning.
