Chapter 37: Name

Chapter 37: Name

“So it was you after all. I heard you troubled my future husband. Do you have anything to say?”

Mina didn’t have the intent to mince her words. She stared at Mary with eyes laced with animosity.

Mary didn’t flinch at her provocations and merely stared at her with her hand at her sword.

The one before he represents the entire Mage Class of the Academy, the only female who stands at the very top. Holding the title of the Mage Queen, she is the strongest student mage in the academy.

Even outside, it is rare to find someone as talented as her. Currently, she is only a Sixth Magic Circle on her Healing Element, but it is said that even her secondary element is about to catch up and some even say she’s going to be a tri-elemental Mage once she reaches the age of twenty.

Overall, what everyone meant is that Mina is someone one should not mess with.

Mary took in a deep breath and asked:

“Where is he?”

“Who? I said I would be coming here alone, didn’t I? Why are you searching for someone else.”

“Don’t act like you don’t know. I am talking about Colt Edgeworth, your fiancé, I have some unfinished business with him.”

At this point, Mina’s gaze was no longer friendly.

“Why do you speak of him? You have no business with him nor does he have business with you. I heard what happened earlier, you came to him, troubled him, and then badmouthed me in front of everyone by calling me a bitch.

“He slapped you, yes. But he did it to protect my, his fiancée’s honor so he is in the right and none condemned him for lashing out as such. Then and there you were already in the wrong but you let your bodyguards who have aura attack him. Do you think I can’t have at least one of your fingers cut off and these two fools beheaded if I say anything to your family? Do you!?”

A gust of cold wind blew as Mina’s words escaped her mouth. She had been made forbidden by Colt to do anything that may end up into something bad, so she wished to just end it without her releasing her pent-up anger.

But, talking to Mary right now and having been asked by such a thing made her unable to control herself after remembering what happened to Colt.

Mary felt the thick mana coming out of Mina and swallowed some saliva.

Taking in deep breaths to calm herself once again, Mary spoke.

“Do you even know my intentions when I tried to speak to him? It is to test and warn him for what is about to come.”

This caught Mina’s attention and the violent movement of her mana disappeared.

“What do you mean?”

“The seniors of the Warrior Class are targeting your fiancé. They wish to humiliate and make him know his place.”

Mina was confused about the irrationality of these people, “Heh, so those guys are making their move? Are they trying to humiliate my dearest so that I will look at them? What a bunch of buffoons. To be blinded by romance and act so irrationally to get my attention is something only a man who thinks with his lower head is able to have such a brainless idea. Heh, now that I think about it, what did I expect? They always think with their dick, how would they be able to get access to their brains?”

Having listened to Mina speak of such things, Mary almost puked when Mina said, “Blinded by romance”.

‘The most unqualified person to say that is you.’ While thinking like so, Mary then heard Mina continue speaking.

“Heh, it seems like you actually have good intentions, it would seem that I was jumping to conclusions. I thought you were aiming at him for always falling short when you fight me.”

“What!? Did you really think I am such a scoundrel who would do something so dishonorable? I may not be able to speak to others with clarity, and others may think I am weird but I am a proud warrior who is aiming to become a Holy Paladin in the future and your rival.” Mary harrumphed as she puffed her modest chest up.

Mina showed a genuine smile and then said, “It seems like I owe you an apology and my sincere thanks, Lisa.”

Mary was proud of herself until she heard Mina say her name, “What did you just say my name was?”

Confused, Mina tilted her head, “Lisa, why?”

“WHO THE HELL IS LISA!?”

“You are!?”

“My name is Mary Courtgain! How can you not know my name? We were having a moment and you even said, “So, it was you.”, how can you act as if you knew who I am when you didn’t even know my name!?” Mary was incensed.

Mina just shrugged her shoulders, “Well, I thought that was your name, well I apologize for that. Then, now that I know your name, I wish to ask for an apology for my dearest slapping you on the face.

Mary let it go with a sigh as she gave Mina her reply, “It is nothing, and as you said, I was in the wrong in so many angles and as for the slap…”

Mary suddenly paused as she touched her left cheek as she unknowingly smiled at Mina in a perverted manner, “Um, that slap…I don’t mind being slapped by him…hehe, hehe.”

Mina was taken aback and even she had to take a step back as she spoke, “Something’s wrong with you, Marie Curtain.”

“It’s Mary Courtgain!”

“Achoo, hmmm, this means someone is talking about me, right…? Must be Mina.”

Colt was in a carriage. On his lap was the white cat having its belly rubbed by Colt. And as the carriage stopped, Colt was just about ready to step out of the carriage, but then, he heard the bell, and then the coachman spoke as he opened his window on the coachman’s side.

“The Apothecary Guild is closed, Young Master.”

Colt was downheartened as he heard the coachman speak and then just had him return to the Mansion.

While riding in the carriage, Colt looked at the cat and asked it something that had been bothering him.

“Have you decided on your name?”

“Meow!”

“Not yet, huh.”

Colt, was just about to let it go, but then, the fat cat spoke again.

“Nyaaaaaa, Mew, Meow.”

“Hmmm, Lord Phat Fluff…think about it some more before we decide, okay?”

Colt and the cat returned to the manor. That night, Colt trained even though his body still ached from having been punched by aura users. And while he was training, he felt something flow in his body, and as he did so, Colt felt the need to train even more.

While swinging his sword, he remembered something close to importance, “Oh, now I remember, blond drills was Mary Courtgain. The Pure and Righteous Paladin!”

As he remembered that, he collapsed and was dragged back inside by the cat whose temporary name is Lord Phat Fluff.
