The Reincarnated Wizard Who Will Eventually Become the Strongest

Chapter 149: Met a Disgusting Man ①

Translated by AmaLynne

Sam reflexively turned around at the sound of someone calling Lise’s name.

Behind him was a strange man.

“Who?”

He was a man in his mid-twenties.

He was well dressed, with auburn hair neatly trimmed.

He was tall and slender, with a rather sweet mask that left a lasting impression.

At his waist was a sword, but he did not look like a swordsman.

The sheath of the sword was decorated with ostentatious and ostentatious ornaments, which made me feel that he lacked good taste.

(Who is this guy? He looks like a swordsman, but no, he is not a swordsman. He looks like a noble lad imitating a swordsman.)

The man looks straight at Lise, not at Sam.

He was about to ask his fiancée if they knew each other, when he noticed that she was shaking as she held his hand.

“――Julian.”

The name that came out of Lise’s mouth, which shook not only physically but also vocally, rang a bell.

(Julian, don’t tell me it’s Lise-sama’s.)

If Sam remembered correctly, it was the name of Lise’s ex-husband.

He is a candidate to become the successor to the Sword Saint and also a man of ill repute who is courting Mizuki Amemiya.

“Hey, Lise. It’s been a long time. We haven’t seen each other since our divorce, so I guess it’s been two years already.”

“What can I do for you?”

Lise’s reply to Julian’s friendly demeanor is stiff.

It is not Sam’s imagination that her voice is somehow cold.

“Oh, aren’t you boring? I only called on you because I saw you here.”

“I don’t think we have the kind of relationship.”

In response to Lise’s discomfort and irritation, Julian simply shrugged his shoulders.

“I hope you don’t say lonely things. We were once a married couple. I just wanted to talk to you. Shall we go into a nearby store?”

Lise trembled as if frightened by Julian who said such a thing and extended his hand to her unkindly.

Sam, who did not miss the change in his fiancée, quickly intervened.

“Who are you?”

Finally, Julian’s gaze fell on Sam.

He looked displeased, perhaps because he had been interrupted.

But Sam was the one who was displeased.

“Who are you? If you want to ask someone’s name, say it first.”

“I am the Count Michel. Shouldn’t you respect your superiors even if they don’t know that I am Julian Michel, the eldest son of Count Michel?”

“Why should I respect you?”

He can only take a contentious attitude toward Lise’s ex-husband.

To begin with, this man’s words and actions irritated Sam.

Regardless of Lise, she is convinced that she does not get along with this man.

“Sam, don’t do this. Let’s get the hell out of here.”

“Sam? Is this Samuel Scheidt, by any chance?”

Julian, hearing Sam’s name, seemed to recognize the person in front of him.

Then he sighs deliberately.

“What would you say if I were?”

“I heard that Lise, my wife, was engaged to someone very promising, but I had no idea she was such a child.”

“Stop it, Julian!”

“Rumors are unreliable. It seems that the quality of court wizards in this country has also declined. Either that, or Your Majesty’s eyes have grown blind in admitting such a child.”

“――You talk as you please, you.”

Although he felt the urge to punch the guy out at any moment, he held back.

At least he knew Lise wouldn’t want him to hit him here.

Sam takes a deep breath and suppresses his irritation.

“Let’s not deal with him, Sam.”

“Fine.”

Nodding to Lise, who sounded like she was about to start crying, Sam turned away from Julian.

“Let’s go, Hanae.”

“Nn.”

She was silent and seemed to be looking at Julian for a moment, but then seemed to lose interest.

She nodded and was about to leave with her and Lise.

“Wait. I won’t allow you to leave without my permission, Lise.”

“――!”

Julian, with his arrogant manner, interrupts her.

And Sam had one thing he couldn’t tolerate.

“You! Don’t call my fiancée’s name lightly.”

He turned around and would have punched him if Lise hadn’t grabbed his arm.

He didn’t like the fact that he had been calling her name Lise, Lise, as a term of endearment since earlier.

He couldn’t understand how the man who had made Lise unhappy could call out to her so casually.

One cannot help but wonder if he doesn’t feel a little guilty.

“What a cheeky child! Lise, by any chance, did you have a younger hobby?”

“Don’t you dare!”

“…what a noisy child.”

Still calling Lise’s name lightly, Julian was about to reach his limit.

Next to Sam, Karen muttered,

“This guy is annoying.”

“Hmm? Oh, you have another companion? Oh, you’re somewhere else, aren’t you?”

“I don’t care. I’m not interested in you. If you don’t have anything to say to me, get out of here.”

Hanae also did not seem to think well of Julian and was even more indifferent than usual.

Julian frowned at her attitude.

“Lise, even though we’re divorced, you were my wife. I don’t think it’s right to associate with such a person.”

“Who I associate with is none of your business!”

“Are you going to resist me? Well then…”

Julian did not like Lise’s attitude, and his face showed his obvious irritation.

For a moment, Lise looked frightened, but Sam broke in to shield her again as if to protect her.

This time it was the same for Hanae.

“I’m telling you, you lay one finger on Lise-sama, and I’ll kill you.”

“Likewise.”

Sam and Karen were trying to kill her, and Julian looked at her blankly.

Then, he suddenly started laughing, wondering what was so funny.

“Kill, hahaha, hahaha, kill? Kill me? You guys? You make me laugh! It’s hilarious!”
