May I Ask for One Final Thing? (最後にひとつだけお願いしてもよろしいでしょうか)

You seem to be making quite the assumption.

Did you think that against Prince Julius...

I would hesitate?

This is all for the greater good.

Don't take it personally, Prince Julius!

Still showing your legs in that unbecoming manner, I see.

Very impressive, Prince Julius.

Even when you break your wrist, you heal it immediately with a spell.

You do indeed have the advantage in close combat.

Acceleration: Three Burst.

He predicted it?

What the hell?

Her prince abandoned her and even attacked her, and yet...

I want you in greater despair!

You really are a heartless woman.

You actually punched your own kingdom's prince!

It's awful to hear you say I'm heartless.

This is proof of true love...

The fists of love that won't stop until Prince Julius is back in his right mind!

May I Ask For One Final Thing?

I hate people who look down on me because they're life's winners.

Always enjoying themselves...

No way!

Sorry!

Who was that?

You okay?

Like they never act petty or think awful things.

I...

I want to see them in despair.

I want their faces distorted with agony.

Still, this isn't like you.

To fall straight into the enemy's trap...

Fireball, blaze with an inferno's rage.

Or is it that you prefer women like Terenezza?

Jealous?

It's rather charming to see you act like a lady your age for once.

Stop flirting already.

Do you not realize the situation you're in?

That's a good look on you, Scarlet.

I should have just done this from the start!

I can see your blessing exhausting itself.

It's really weak now!

In that state, you won't be able to stop my lance.

If you don't want to see your precious prince killed,

surrender where you stand!

Very well.

I admit defeat.

Link your hands behind your head.

This spell will steal your blessings from you.

Blessings given directly by gods

can only be stolen with this special spell that uses Palmia's power.

But if I steal your blessings, I can achieve Palmia's goal with ease.

This spell has the power to prevent a blessing from activating.

There's no way around this.

Julius, restrain her.

What inappropriate nonsense is this?

I'm restraining you.

Blame Terenezza, not me.

Seems my charm's effect is waning.

How truly vexing that blessing of yours, Heroic Tale, is.

Heroic Tale?

You didn't know?

Well, it'll be mine soon enough.

I just know what Palmia told me, but since this is almost over, I'll tell you.

Heroic Tale is a special blessing created by Origin the Creator, the god above all others.

It allows the wielder to unleash unlimited power

when the person they love is in danger.

The person they love?

No, I don't feel that way about you whatsoever.

You deny it so earnestly...

But then why is the blessing going into effect?

It's quite annoying, you know.

The way you toy with my feelings with those suggestive acts of yours...

I don't have any of those feelings for you, either.

Yes. That's right.

She really is cold!

Such an awful thing to say to the person who threw himself on you

to protect you from Godwin's shot!

I like it, though.

Heroic Tale can't activate fully unless the love is mutual.

That time back then, too...

Was that also the effect of Origin the Creator's blessing?

Then the reason Julius almost died...

The reason he's doing what that filthy woman says...

I guess it was always a one-sided love!

So funny!

It was all my fault? Because I didn't...

You really are a villainess!

You can never become a true leading lady!

Prince Julius. Allow me to confirm one thing.

Yes?

If your blessing activates fully, you'll be able to overcome all dangers

and save me?

Even under the influence of the charm blessing...

Why are you asking me that?

Neither of us is in love with the other.

Well? Tell me clearly!

Yes.

Heroic Tale grants the power to overcome all dangers

so I can save the one I love.

That's quite a relief.

Save me, Prince Julius.

It's finally broken.

Heroic Tale has activated completely?!

When you said you didn't feel that way about me, you had me rather worried.

Huh?

I beg your pardon?

Do you know how much I struggled with myself to work up the courage to say that?

You did well, though.

You can leave the rest to me.

Screw your Heroic Tale...

That nonsense doesn't stand a chance against my divine vessel!

It's pointless.

Hit him! Just hit him!

Your divine vessel can't emit anything more than a gentle breeze.

That gutless goddess Palmia has a cruel sense of humor.

You don't get to say that!

You...

Die!

Quite a live wire you are.

You're smiling, black-hearted prince.

Why...

Why?!

Why won't anything go the way I want?!

I'm the leading lady!

I'm the main character! Everyone's supposed to love me!

Everyone who doesn't love me should just die!

The whole kingdom... the whole world...

should just disappear!

You show yourself at last, you piece of shit goddess.

Don't worry, my darling Terenezza.

You have me to love you.

Now, show those villains who try to get in your way

the true power of a leading lady!

Light of love, rain down.

What the...

Hey!

The ceiling's coming down!

Saint Protective Barrier!

I'll protect them all!

That would have fried us if it had hit head-on.

Incredible power.

Yet your blessing, Heroic Tale, nullified it entirely.
