"It's you!" Upon seeing Emilia, Felt was startled and instinctively wanted to flee.
However, when Felt tried to move, her body wouldn't obey; she just stood there blankly.
"Why can't I move!" Felt cried out in panic, desperately trying to move her body to no avail.
Emilia looked at Fujino with gratitude in her eyes, knowing that this must be Fujino's doing.
Emilia walked toward Felt and held out her hand. "Give me back my things!"
"Let me go first!" Felt shouted, completely unaware of her current predicament.
Fujino looked at Felt playfully and then smiled. "Don't forget, you can't move right now. Lia, why don't you just strip her and search her yourself?"
"Eh!" Emilia's face turned red. "Fujino, that's not very good, is it? She's just a child."
Just as Emilia finished speaking, the door to the loot cellar behind them swung open. The tall Old Man Rom came charging toward Fujino, brandishing a large wooden club.
"Old Man Rom!" Seeing Old Man Rom's appearance, Felt was overjoyed and shouted happily.
"Lia, go find the insignia on that little shorty. I'll handle this guy."
Watching the aggressive Old Man Rom, a faint smile played on Fujino's lips.
"Let go of Felt!" With a roar, Old Man Rom reached Fujino. The large wooden club in his hands swung with great force, creating a strong gust of wind as it hurtled toward her.
Facing the incoming club, Fujino made no move, as if she were frozen in place.
"Fujino!" Seeing Fujino motionless, Emilia grew anxious. She channeled the Mana within her, intending to block Old Man Rom's attack.
But a sudden change in the next moment caused Emilia to stop her spellcasting.
Ram and Rem suddenly appeared in front of Fujino. Rem swung her small fist to meet Old Man Rom's club.
Bang!
The moment the fist and the club collided, the club shattered instantly into a mass of wood chips and fragments that flew toward Old Man Rom's face and eyes.
Facing the incoming splinters and fragments, Old Man Rom instinctively closed his eyes.
---Then, he Felt a sudden, sharp pain in his abdomen that made his heart feel as if it had stopped beating.
Ram also swung her small fist. Her tiny hand, carrying a monstrous strength that belied its appearance, struck Old Man Rom squarely in the stomach.
Old Man Rom's strength was decent, but only relative to ordinary people. As a Giant who had participated in the Demi-human War, his strength was definitely formidable among commoners. However, once knights and other beings were factored in, he was nothing more than a bottom-tier Giant with brute force.
Having stayed by Fujino's side for years, either one of them alone was strong enough to defeat that cheater Reinhard without even manifesting their horns.
And once they manifested their horns, both were existences capable of destroying the entire world.
Struck by Ram's punch, Old Man Rom was severely injured. His body flew backward and crashed into the loot cellar with a loud bang.
"Old Man Rom!"
Felt cried out in grief. Emilia suddenly Felt a bit sorry for Felt and wanted to say something, but seeing Fujino's gesture, she swallowed her words.
