I will prove my innocence! With all my might! …… I was told that I can’t.
Well, let’s ignore Marianne-sama’s reincarnated person remark with all of my might (lol).
Her Majesty’s and Okaasama’s ignoring skills are flawless as they are smiling!
The talk is not progressing and it’s becoming troublesome, so let’s prove my innocence!
“Your Majesty, I’m thinking of proving that I have not hit or kicked Marianne-sama now, but how?”
What am I going to do, you ask~?
“It’s a simple thing.”
Huh? Her Majesty clapped her hands.
I soldier holding a large shield appeared!
“You should just punch or kick this soldier.”
Ohh! A robust soldier is my sparring partner!
“Yes, your innocence will be proven by hitting the shield this soldier has set up.”
Yes, I have gotten the permission from Okaasama~!
“Isn’t this too harsh to Miss Elise though?”
His Majesty is the most doubtful, isn’t he? But, you see……
“There’s no problem. However, this soldier…… his location is no good. Please, move over here……”
I pointed at the center of the hall.
“Turn your body in a way so His Majesty can see you from the side…… yes, like that.”
Though facing His Majesty sideways is a little bit impolite, isn’t it~
“So, get down on your knee and hold the shield properly.”
Good! Even if his body gets blown away, there won’t be any injuries on our side!
“Well then, may I begin?”
“Elise, you mustn’t be too serious, okay?”
Okaasama prohibited me from using all of my strength.
“I understand. Then, here I go.”
I quite moved in front of the soldier and punched the shield.
Gagiiiiin
Then, I kicked it. I kicked the shield directly with my heel. Commonly known as Yakuza kick.
Gagoooooooooonnn
Garangarangaran…………
Gachagachagacha…………… gan
What a thing. The soldier got blown away while still holding the shield.
His body is twitching by the wall.
Looking closely, there was a big dent (fist trace) and a small hole (kick trace) left in the shield.
I wonder why? The small metallic sounds I heard became slightly louder.
Not only that, I feel like I heard the sounds of clattering teeth too.
Oh my, for such sound to spread in a place like this.
“Elise, didn’t I tell you not to do it seriously?”
What are you saying, Okaasama!
“Yes, I wasn’t serious. That soldier wouldn’t be living anymore if I was serious.”
“I understand, looking at the state of the shield, I wonder how Baron Dourute’s daughter would end up was she hit like that.”
You, Okaasama!
I understand your mere disgust! I should have pretended that the soldier was Marianne-sama before I started!
