Viu, Emilia, Puck, Reinhard, Felt and the guards placed themselves in strategic locations to block Elsa.  She finds herself trapped unable to escape although she could have done so just after Viu's escape.  However, as a professional assassin, she did not intend to abandon the mission, and nor - I quote - abandon the idea of ​​making Viu pay badly for what he had done.  She certainly didn't want to kill him right away, no, she was going to have fun with him.

His predatory instincts had already kicked in and a small smile appeared on his lips.

- Well, well... That's quite the setup you created.  As for you, black guy, you think you've got me cornered, huh?

- Give up wisely and your punishment will be more merciful.   Refuse and I will be merciless, said Reinhard.

Elsa let out a slight laugh at his threat.

- Please, right?   You think a little demonstration like this will scare me into surrendering?

She tilted her head to the side, a smirk spreading across her face, staring at me in particular.

- I'm not surrendering to anyone, darling.   The only way to get rid of me is to kill me.

- What nonsense!  Lia, everyone, let's go!

Puck attacked Elsa first followed by Emilia with ice spikes.  Reinhard was signaling the guards to wait before observing here with Viu.  This had to ensure that its conditions remained active.  Despite everything, Elsa dodged all their attacks without flinching before almost cutting Emilia and Puck in two.

One of the shocked guards asked Viu why Elsa remained even stronger.

- The answer is simple.  Elsa's speed only decreases if she attacks innocent people.  Puck and Emilia being the ones who attacked Elsa first, it doesn't work.

- Thin !

- To think that we were counting on that to neutralize her.

However, when she finished off Emilia, Puck spent all his energy saving her.  The sun would soon set;  which meant that...

- Rein, I need you against Elsa while I take Emilia to safety. So what I feared had just happened.  Puck could not be available during the night hours.

- How if I was going to let him do it!

-And you're going to make the vampire widow start, kill me?

He took Emilia in his arms even though she protested strongly;  Viu then slapped her, which shocked everyone except Elsa who was amused.

- Puck gave his time to save you and you want to put your life in danger.  If you die here, then he will destroy this world and him as the beast of the end and yes this beast is Puck.

Emilia's protest died on her lips as Viu gave her a firm slap, stunning her and silencing her.   Her eyes had widened in shock at his blunt words, their impact hitting her hard.   The harshness of the situation and the sacrifice Puck had made suddenly became very real.

Once further away, Viu had entrusted the guards and Felt to watch over her.  But Felt understood very quickly with everyone's situation and the almost firm seriousness of her adopted older brother that she had to obey.  After all, if she hadn't stolen Emilia to satisfy Elsa, none of this would have happened.  However, Emilia didn't particularly blame her and stopped the little girl from crying.

Emilia gently took Felt in her arms, wrapping her in a warm embrace to soothe the little girl's tears.   Despite the seriousness of the situation, Emilia's expression was one of understanding rather than blame.

She stroked Felt's hair and spoke softly, her voice reassuring and soothing,

- Shh... It's okay, Felt.  Nobody blames you.  We all make mistakes sometimes.

Reinhard, having heard the exchange, remains silent but vigilant.   He looks at Viu with a mixture of surprise and respect at the young man's confidence and honesty.

Until Elsa opened her mouth and laughed at them.

- How touching~
Are you fighting among yourselves... because of me?  I have to say that I feel quite touched~

As soon as she opened her mouth she was cut in two by Reinhard but it would regenerate instantly.  When Viu threw, she took the opportunity to slice him except his speed decreased and Reinhard sent him flying against the wall with a high kick.  Elsa didn't understand until she saw.  writing from last time.

“The winner takes all, and the loser is the winner’s toy!”

(This time, Viu doesn't make a mistake. The real fight begins. Come on Viu!)

Elsa looked down at the script, feeling a mixture of surprise and anger as she realized what had happened.

- You little... She muttered under her breath, her gaze turning towards Viu.  Smart boy... you outsmarted me again.

- And this is only the beginning Well before we begin, I suggest that we introduce ourselves.  My name is Viu Irufurito now.  Consider Viu as my first name and Irufurito as my new last name.  I don't have a particular title.

- I am Reinhard Van Astrea.  The Sword Saint of Lugnica.

- My name is Elsa Granhiert and I am the Bowel Hunter.  If I don't have my blades, I use my fists.  If I lose my fists I use my tongue.  And if I lose my life, I use my own life.

The fight continued but it remained one-sided.  Reinhard not only repelled Elsa's attacks with Ease but the worst part remained that Viu did nothing during this time except place himself in places where Elsa would have attacked him, at least in normal times.

- Aggh what is he doing?

- He's just bothering Sir Reinhard!

The guards complained about Viu's attitude but two people understood his strategy.  The first was Felt who then tripped over the two who had complained the most.

- What is ?

- But are you stupid or what the hell?  Is Viu muzzling this bimbo and allowing your cardboard knight to do the job?

- What are you talking about ?  And then you little thing!

- I apologize for the inconvenience Felt caused.

- But, big sis!

- But Felt is right.

- Ah anyway !

- Remember: what are the three conditions that Viu placed on Elsa?

- “If she attacks innocent people, she gradually loses her speed.”   "Her regeneration will disappear if she attacks me."  Oh, actually Viu’s presence is more than necessary to keep her busy.

- Not only.  I think that the writing from earlier on top of that serves to protect us from it.  The first condition only works if none of us intend to neutralize Elsa.

- Now encourage him and more than that because it's thanks to him that your butt is warm!

- Little pest !

- Calm down, soldier.  For now, she and Lady Emilia are right.  Let's watch carefully how the fight will go.  Additionally, this is the first time the Sword Saint has team fought with someone.  We are witnessing a historic event within the Kingdom of Lugnica.

And for Elsa, it was a last blow in her coffin but she didn't know that yet.

- Everything is going as planned.
