"Of course I've looked into it. But His Grace said he wasn't aware of the matter, and the Guild told me it was the result of proper procedures."
"Then there's no problem at all. Goodbye."
"Wait — I'm not finished talking."
"I have nothing more to say."
"I was starting to wonder if I was mishearing, but you speak of His Grace without even using an honorific — so carelessly, no less. You refuse to acknowledge your own wrongdoing. And as for the outrage you committed against that man, you won't be able to talk your way out of it."
"No, he was the one who picked a fight and tried to shake me down for money and my life. He reaped what he sowed when I fought back. That's all — goodbye."
"......Indeed. It seems there's truly no point in continuing. Very well. If you still can't understand even after I've been this patient, then I'll have no choice but to use this 'Justice Lancer' —"
"— to execute justice!"
"— that is what I'll do."
Before I knew it, the desks and chairs from the Guild hall had been pushed up against the walls, creating a space just large enough to fight in.
And there stood Kirsche, brandishing his gleaming golden spear.
Smashing anyone down just because they don't align with his sense of justice — that's practically villain behavior.
It's not like I did anything to him, either.
Oh, I should ask first.
"So,"
"'Execute Justice' —"
"what exactly does that mean?"
"Naturally! I'm going to beat some sense into you so you stop doing evil from now on! After you lose to me, you'll become my retainer and help people — just like these ones!"
I took a look at the spear Kirsche was brandishing.
The Holy Lance "Justice Lancer" answers its wielder's belief in justice and can unleash critical damage repeatedly against foes who stand in opposition.
A spear that amplifies the self-righteousness of those drunk on their own justice — that's just insane.
In a way, it suits her perfectly.
Then I'll use a spear too.
I pulled a jet-black spear from my Spacetime Storage — the Divine Spear Hermes Javelin — and simultaneously reversed my spear affinity to obtain [Spear God].
"What is that spear?! I've never seen it before. I was told you used a sword — can you use a spear too? But I will not be shaken! Evil shall not be tolerated!"
Kirsche's sharp thrusts came at me in rapid succession.
I dodged right, then dodged left.
I clashed our spear tips together and deflected hers aside.
"Tch, not bad..."
Kirsche pulled her spear back while keeping her eyes locked on me.
Time for my counterattack.
"Lord of Hermes!"
The black light unleashed from the Divine Spear pierced straight through Kirsche's golden armor.
