Chapter 20:
Chapter 20 — Bloody Mary
Summoned To Another World
Liani watched the departing figures.「She seemed oddly happy, which is unusual.」Meanwhile, Lisa approached the table where Iris, Lena, and Saalin were sitting in the Guild cafeteria.「Hi there, guys.」「Oh, hi, Lisa. How are you doing?」「Doing OK now, since I can walk around without the veil and heavy garments.」「Yah, you go, girl.」「Thank you. But where's Jay?」Lena, uninvited, slid off her seat and sat right next to the beautiful 'Saintess.'「Papa's at home. Hi, Ms. Lisa.」「Hi, Le—」
Before Lisa could finish, one of the heavily armored Church Knights (C. Knight 01) accompanying her interrupted with undisguised contempt.
「The nerve of this demi!」The second knight (C. Knight 02) followed suit.「Do you know who you're talking to, you worthless trash?!」Iris’s easy smile vanished, replaced by cold seriousness.「I would ask you politely to say sorry to my daughter over there, or things might go south.」「Tch! Do you know who we are?」「Yes, and it will be more embarrassing if you don't apologize.」「Don't get cocky, commoner! I'll never apologize to that little wretch and the other one! ...Then a crowd started to gather...」「...Sighs... Suit yourselves... Lena and Saalin, remember what Jay said? If they don't apologize, make them.」「OK!」
C. Knight 02 charged with a clumsy slash, which the two girls easily dodged.Lena looked down at the steak knife on the table.
「You don't play fair! This will do.」「Yah.」 Saalin agreed, her eyes darkening.Lisa, suddenly realizing the gravity of the situation, reached out.「Iris, tell them to stop!」「Don't worry. Just watch.」 Iris said, unconcerned.C. Knight 02 recovered his stance, a sneer on his face.「You're fast when it comes to running away. Besides, before I kill you, what's your name?!」「I'm Lena Lancer, daughter of Jay Lancer!」「...Laughs... That adventurer who defeated the T. Wyvern?! Ha! He'll never accept you as his daughter!」Lena's eyes narrowed. Her face became deathly serious, and her voice was laced with a chilling fury that eclipsed even Jay’s.「PAPA IS MY PAPA!!!」
A powerful, dark aura burst out from her tiny frame, causing the Guild floor to shake. She immediately took a low, aggressive offensive stance.C. Knight 02 froze, his confidence shattered by the surge of power.
「What is this?! No way a mere demi should have this much power!」Lena, moving with frightening speed that left a crimson afterimage, delivered the strike.「...Serious.. Lancer Techniques, Form 1:」
She vanished and instantly reappeared behind the Knight. A bead of blood was already dripping from the tip of her makeshift weapon.「...Cold tone... Bloody Mary.」
Dozens of deep, razor-thin cuts instantly appeared across C. Knight 02's heavy plate armor. He dropped to the floor, and blood began pouring out from the lacerations.Lena looked down at her handiwork with utter contempt.
「Hmph. Weakling.」C. Knight 01, enraged and terrified, drew his sword.「...Pissed... HOW DARE YOU, LITTLE BI—」Before he could finish the curse, a second steak knife was pressed firmly against his neck.「She's just a child. No need to call her that... Now stand down, or die.」 Saalin warned, her voice smooth and devoid of emotion.C. Knight 01 ground his teeth in humiliated rage.「Tch! Fine, I yield! ...Puts his weapon away...」Lena stared down at the defeated C. Knight 02.「Be thankful I used that on you instead of Papa.」「...Coughs out blood... Tch! Why should I?!」「...In a cold tone... I left you in one piece... But Papa would've made you into itty-bitty pieces.」
The entire Guild Hall was left in a state of absolute shock and horror.
