"We'll leave the matter of the Sin Archbishop of Wrath to Priscilla's team. According to Reinhard, Liliana possesses a Divine Protection that could counter the Authority of Wrath." Subaru stated, but Reinhard seemed a tiny bit unsure.
"An unfamiliar blessing may not sound very reassuring. But certainly, if it is Liliana-sama's song, I believe it may be an effective countermeasure for what we've heard about Wrath."
"That, and her Bard's Domain. I'm confident that this plan would work." I added.
We all looked to Liliana, who was playing with her braids. Noticing our looks, she nodded in confirmation that she's also ready to face the danger. "Ee-yeh, please leave it to me. This Liliana, once she gets a request, she definitely gets the work done. Rest assured, I only sing. In a place where my singing is desired. And if wanted I trill! Isn't this such a happy thing! If I could even get some tips, then that's time to throw up my arms and celebrate!"
"Something like a tip won't be coming out of this, so first quit with the capitalist pig talk."
Subaru immediately deflated Liliana's excitement, and Priscilla joined into the conversation.
"Seeing two boys gossiping in whispers, I looked into what they were plotting, but it seems they are merely wasting their energy on a useless consultation. That singer's worth by mine own self has already been confirmed. I will deign to crush this mere fanatic fool."
Priscilla, who was definitely not listening to the plan, was ready to take on Wrath all by herself. In my opinion, she could probably win in a 1v1, but the problem is the mob crowd that has been influenced. In order to lift their curse, we need Liliana. If somehow the crowd overwhelms Priscilla during her 1v1 showdown, she's a goner. However, I did not take my time to explain it to her, seeing that she probably won't listen to me anyways. Al, being a guy who caught my eye, convinced Priscilla to temporarily go along with the suggestion.
"Okay, then we'll leave Wrath to Priscilla and co. Anyways, our next target is Lust. Wilhelm-dono has volunteered, so it seems only rightful to allow him to go." I said, and Wilhelm nodded.
"As you all well know, my mistress Crusch-sama is suffering still under the effects of the witch Lust's cruel power, although it is temporarily sustained thanks to Felix and Y/N-dono's efforts. I am under obligation to fight for my mistress as Crusch-sama's servant. This is also a wish of mine that goes beyond my sense of duty."
Nobody seemed to reject the words of the old swordsman, except for his own family. "In truth, I am opposed to it." Reinhard spoke up. "Currently grandfather has lost his composure. Of course, to feel hostility towards the Sin Archbishop who harmed Crusch-sama is understandable. However, I do not believe that you will be able to achieve the objective with that feeling."
"Losing your calm, is a distraction from achieving the objective? Is that what you are saying to me?" Wilhelm flared in frustration, but Reinhard kept his composure.
"Considering Crusch-sama, the failure to capture Lust is not forgivable. Therefore, I will take on that task. At least, I will be able to face that side with a better mental state."
"Losing calmness here is a given, Reinhardt."
Reinhard tried to argue back, but Wilhelm launched a full-on speech at him.
"Just who, are you thinking your grandfather is? I am the Sword Demon Wilhelm. Giving my effort all to live as just a sword, but unable to stop myself from coming to love a woman too, only half. Though in my method of existence I only came halfway, in the end, for what needed to be done, I have never let it stay unfinished! When I decide to wield the sword, my heart is uplifted. Even not being calm, on the battlefield it is all the same to me. That is how I have lived on to this age. This time also, I have no intention of rotting away without repaying my obligation to my mistress in full. Your pointless worry is not necessary."
