Chapter 16 - Kindness? Just for Profit

"So what should we do now?" Felt asked nervously to the people around her. Previously, she only thought about fighting Elsa and didn't know what to do after the battle.

"I still have a question to ask her." Emilia said next to her, her eyes very sharp.

She wanted to wait until Elsa woke up to find out where her power came from and why she considered herself a target.

"Ayanokouji, how long will she wake up?"

"I don't know. If it's a normal person, she will be unconscious at least all day." Ayanokouji said slowly.

He knew that Elsa's physical fitness was unusual, and a normal person's body could not support what she had shown.

"Nothing should happen without me now. Sorry Lia, I can't hold on anymore." Puck yawned and said to Emilia.

Initially, her energy reserves could only last until five in the evening. After the battle consumption earlier, her magic energy was almost depleted.

"Um, everything will be fine here." Emilia smiled and nodded at Puck, who then turned into countless particles of light and merged into a crystal stone on her chest.

At the same time, Ayanokouji walked towards the unconscious Elsa, carefully examining her body, and realizing that the wound on Elsa's shoulder that he shot was almost healed, and her leg was covered in Puck's ice. This meant that the person in front of him likely had some kind of strong healing ability, which also meant that the anesthetic effect might be greatly reduced.

He picked up Elsa's sword from the previous battle from the ground, then immediately aimed it at her right hand and slashed it hard. He lifted the sword and dropped it, and the sharp blade immediately cut off her right hand while she was in a coma and did not wake up.

"Ayanokouji, what are you doing!?" Emilia was shocked. She didn't know why him suddenly took such action.

Even Felt was surprised: "Ayanokouji, do you have a special hobby..."

"To verify her healing ability." Ayanokouji immediately turned to Emilia and said, while at the same time extending his finger to point to the almost healed wound location on Elsa's shoulder. To what extent has the self-healing ability been achieved, and whether the severed body parts can be regenerated.

"Ah?!"

Emilia was slightly surprised by Ayanokouji's words. She looked carefully at his finger, and then found that the other party indeed had an extraordinary self-healing ability, but Ayanokouji was somewhat too frightening to directly verify the opponent's self-healing ability in this way.

In fact, for Ayanokouji, he only considered this method the most efficient. He watched the blood flow from Elsa's wound with a calm expression. He observed the speed of blood flow and saw that her wound had stopped bleeding in just a few minutes.

"Is this person really human?"

Felt looked at the scene in front of her and involuntarily took a step back and swallowed her saliva.

She felt the back of her neck as she thought about how she had negotiated business with such a monster without any precautions. She couldn't help but look back and look at Ayanokouji, who was still so calm facing such a monster.

"It seems it will take time. Lady Emilia, please use magic to freeze her entire body first to prevent her from waking up early and causing trouble."

Ayanokouji returned the sword to Felt and turned to Emilia and said.

"She is now bound in such a way that even if she wakes up, she may not be able to escape." Emilia replied.

"That's not necessarily true. If she really has the ability to heal herself to the point of broken limbs, it is not impossible for her to intentionally break her joints or force her limbs to escape. This level of freezing alone is not enough." Ayanokouji said slowly, his calm tone sounding somewhat cold, "So I suggest you freeze her limbs completely, at least to ensure that she does not pose a strong threat after waking up, and that she can also survive after waking up. We will talk to her later."

After hearing Ayanokouji's words, Emilia slightly pursed her lips and realized that the words were not wrong. If Elsa has the ability to heal herself, she will surely be a great threat. So Emilia immediately made a decision and released her magic again, sealing Elsa's body parts.

At the same time, Ayanokouji asked Rom to bring out a large chain and tie Elsa to provide a second level of protection.

In the capital city of the kingdom, among the streets of the slum area.

Elsa wearing a black robe, hid in a quiet alley and looked up at the sky with a smile.

"He's truly a cruel man~"

Looking at the image in the sky, she was defeated by Ayanokouji. It was already known to everyone that she had infiltrated the capital city. Everyone knew her identity and appearance, and her next mission was almost impossible.

But Elsa did not feel angry or frustrated, on the contrary, her smile became even more apparent.

She was very curious about Ayanokouji and couldn't wait to meet him in person.

"What are you made of? I am very curious."

She murmured to herself and then disappeared into the darkness.

"There are no traces of anyone around. From the current perspective, only Elsa took action. However, it is not suitable to stay here for long. We must move to a safe place as soon as possible." Ayanokouji said to Emilia.

"Then let's go back to the Border Baron's mansion first. He is my supporter in participating in the throne's affairs. The place should be truly safe." Emilia replied.

"Mmhm, what about us..." Felt leaned forward and looked at Emilia with pleading eyes.

"Both of them have helped us a lot, and if we leave them here, I'm afraid they will definitely be hunted down by the forces behind Elsa. Since Felt has agreed to help us, we may also be useful." Ayanokouji said.

He said this not out of kindness, but only because he felt that Felt and Rom were still valuable.
