As soon as you pass through the estate and enter the residence, the battle starts right away. 

As soon as you enter the building, you’ll probably start fighting the infected guards, so Lilith is essential for buffs and curse removal. If you don’t have Lilith yet, at least bring Orion. 

If you put in either Lilith or Orion, you’ll have one spot left aside from the default members, and since there are a lot of mobs, it’s good to fill one spot with someone who has AOE skills like Agnes.

But I brought Natalie with me. She’s also quite useful in the miniboss battle.

When you enter the residence, there’s nothing on the 1st floor, and one of your companions will say to check the 2nd floor first.

Obtain the residence map in the library on the 2nd floor and the August family’s secret book in the office on the 3rd. 

When you get the August family’s secret book, ‘August Code Decoding Method’ appears. Use that to interpret the writing on the map obtained on the 2nd floor, and you’ll get the way to the secret underground prison and how to obtain the key. (The key randomly drops from the guards on the 2nd-3rd floors)

Now, when you enter the basement, Swordfiend Caraham awaits you at the entrance. He’s in a demonized state and is quite tough.

If you brought Natalie like me, you can easily finish by protecting Natalie and fighting, and if you don’t have Natalie, alternate between the protagonist and Lilith taking hits and pour in the damage. Since he’s a miniboss, you should be able to defeat him with most party compositions.

By the way, he drops a pendant when defeated. If you give it to a mage, their maximum mana increases a bit, but for others, it’s just decoration.

After defeating Caraham, now comes the underground prison section, and if you open the prison door with the key obtained earlier and proceed while farming…

175.223: These walkthroughs are really good.

ㅇㅇ: Keep writing walkthroughs. Last time, thanks to your walkthrough, I barely managed to get Lilith, and the game became super easy, lol.

└223.38: frfr

└LilGirlChang: I’m gonna write more while doing my 25th playthrough, partly to keep a record, but idk how long I’ll keep it up.

└└ㅇㅇ: wtf how do you manage 25 runs? do you even have a life?

 

Guwon Soon-ae: I can’t find the secret book in the office on the 3rd floor. Can you tell me exactly where it is?

└LilGirlChang: You should be able to find it if you search the bookshelf with the black books.

└└Guwon Soon-ae: Ah, got it. I thought only the red books had special effects, but the black books are interactive, too. Found it; thanks a lot.

 

ThisIsAGodGame *1: I got the pendant, but who is the person inside?

└LilGirlChang: It’s probably Lizzy. From what I know, she got caught in a monster wave and died while attending an Imperial event. I think it happened about a year before she enrolled in the academy.

└└ThisIsAGodGame: Ah, so that’s why Seraphine mentioned Lizzy when she was rescued, talking about taking responsibility and all that.

 

39.7: I don’t want to save Seraphine because she’s so annoying. Can I just skip saving her?

└oo: (‘I’m pretty, aren’t I?!’ meme emoticon)

└LilGirlChang: I tried everything, but it doesn’t seem possible.」

Swordfiend Caraham.

The miniboss of the “Seraphine Kidnapping” episode in Part 3 of Luminor Academy.

Looking at the bigger picture, he’s not a character that makes a huge impact on the story, but he’s a character you inevitably encounter at least once, no matter how you go about avoiding entanglement with him.

As mentioned before, he’s the miniboss of the “Seraphine Kidnapping” episode, and episodes related to Seraphine in Luminor Academy were basically mandatory episodes.

His combat power is quite strong, befitting a miniboss of Part 3. He’s at least stronger than Ethan, the miniboss of the Part 2 episodes.

Of course, this is talking about the case without considering the growth of the characters as time changes, and objectively, it would be a bit difficult for Caraham to match Ethan in combat power.

…Well, even considering that, in the case of Ethan vs Caraham, of course Ethan would get beaten up.

Ah, by the way, what I’m talking about is strictly the detestable Ethan in the game. Not the Ethan right next to me now.

To begin with, the detestable Ethan, the miniboss of the Part 2 episodes, was a miniboss with Lilith as his assistant, so naturally, he had to fall short in many ways when comparing individual combat power.

In contrast, Caraham, the miniboss of Part 3 episodes, was a solo character, and on top of that, a character who underwent demonization with the demon serum, so it wasn’t even a matter of comparing combat power.

 

‘Still…’

 

At this point, it’s a bit hard to say with certainty who would win if we compare the current Ethan and Caraham.

Ethan started wielding a sword through truly skin-shaving training over the past year.

Glancing at his recent training sessions, it seemed he could sufficiently handle ki techniques.

If the bloodline magic of the Blackwoods was added to that, his combat power would be much stronger than what I saw.

Needless to say, Caraham’s physical abilities were already overwhelming even before entering the academy.

Although he had some actions that showed a slight lack of intelligence proportional to his increased physical abilities, his pure combat power was not to be underestimated.

In any case, the fact that he remained sane even after demonization with the demon serum itself signified his strength.

Seeing Caraham suddenly calling that woman “Sister Lizzy,” she was probably…

 

“…Lizzy Lynn August.”

*Flinch*

 

At the words that unintentionally popped out of my mouth, the young lady unconsciously trembled slightly.

That reaction confirmed it. That character was definitely Lizzy Lynn August, the young lady of the August family.

 

‘I forgot about her since she was already a dead character in the story…’

 

I thought I knew all the named characters of the August family, but to think I’d meet a character who was already dead in the game’s story.

Come to think of it, she was also a character who always appeared in episodes related to the August family.

Although she didn’t appear directly, Lizzy’s death was the decisive trigger for the August family betraying the empire and joining hands with the demons.

Even if she didn’t directly appear in the game, she was a character I had heard about indirectly many times.

 

‘In the game, you can confirm her existence through portraits or pendants.’

 

That was probably the main reason why she left a vague impression.

Well, there’s no way a noble character like this wouldn’t have any influence on the main story.

But to think I’d recognize a named character instantly, even with a mask on. Even after 3 and a half years of crossing over to this world, my gamer’s eye is still going strong.

 

“Wh-what are you talking about…?”

“…?”

“Li-Lizzy, who…? Wh-who is that…? I don’t know that person at all…”

“…Sister?”

“S-sister, you say… I-I don’t remember having a muscle-brain younger brother like you… Uh…”

 

…Truly, it was a struggle pitiful enough to make one feel sorry for her.

Trying to pretend not to know even her own brother in an attempt to hide her identity…

That effort to somehow gloss over it even after her identity was already exposed was unfortunate, and Ethan also seemed to have roughly grasped the situation.

…Moreover, even if it was because of her brother Caraham, that half-baked acting wouldn’t last long.

Before Caraham fell into being “Swordfiend Caraham”…

The title attached to him in his human state was “Tactless Caraham.”

 

“S-sister! What in the world are you saying?! How can you not recognize me???”

“Q-quiet… F-first, follow me outside quietly…”

“It’s me, Caraham! Caraham Jamuel August! Aren’t I your one and only twin younger brother, Sister Lizzy?!”

“Ah, ahhhhh…! P-please just shut your mouth…!”

 

Lizzy’s seal was finally broken by Caraham’s self-introduction that poured out as if going on a rampage.

Watching the comedy-like spectacle of the two, Ethan quietly opened his mouth and asked Lizzy.

 

“I see. As the young lady of the August Marquis family, you certainly had the guts to confront the prestige of the Blackwood family.”

“N-no…! We’re just a trivial family in the outskirts…!”

“Right! It’s only natural that our August family, which blocks the monster front in the empire, is greater than your Black-whatever family!”

“Lizzy…August, was it? I apologize for not recognizing you, as it’s been a while since I stepped into a place like this.”

“It’s Lizzy Lynn August! Engrave that in that stupid-looking head of yours, you sinister bastard!”

“P-please just shut up! Caraham, you muscle-brain…!!”

“S-sister?! Why are you suddenly acting like this?!”

 

Right after making a flashy entrance on one side of the banquet hall and spouting nonsense calling Ethan a sinister bastard…

Caraham boldly revealed his own and his sister’s identities with that booming voice.

As the siblings were jointly picking a fight with the Blackwood family, even I was getting dumbfounded, when…

 

BAM!

 

Suddenly, a sound that sounded like smashing the floor with a rock rang out inside the banquet hall.

When I came to my senses, Caraham’s forehead was slammed into the ground by Lizzy’s right hand.

 

“A-ack! S-sister?!”

“Regarding the rudeness I showed to Ethan Richard Blackwood’s partner in this incident, I have no words to say even if I had ten mouths. Also, I sincerely apologize from the bottom of my heart for shamelessly running my mouth without knowing my place.”

“S-sister?! What are you doing right now?!”

“The August family is fully willing to compensate for the damage caused by this incident, and we will thoroughly reimburse not only the cost of the dress but also the repair costs and consolation payment for ruining your day today. Furthermore, I apologize for my discourteousness towards the young lady, lacking mutual courtesy and respect…”

“Sister?! What are you on about?!?!?!?!?!?! Why does the August family have to kneel before these strange guys we’ve never even seen before…A-ack?!”

 

BAM!!!

 

“You-! Just shut up and keep that rock-head of yours on the ground!!”

 

Lizzy, who was prostrating on the ground, was trying to smooth over the situation now that her identity was completely exposed, but even that wasn’t going well because of her tactless younger brother.

The sound of Caraham’s hard head hitting the floor rang out several times in the Evening Rose Hall.

Ethan, who was quietly listening to the apology of the young lady of August, muttered a sentence in a low voice.

 

“…I don’t think I’m the only one you need to apologize to.”

“Ah…!”

 

At those words, she immediately turned her head towards me this time and lowered her head.

Almost the same words of apology she had just said to Ethan popped out of her mouth again.

 

“I sincerely apologize for daring to damage your dress in this incident, young lady. The cost of the dress you are wearing and the repair expenses will be fully covered by me and the August family. Also, I apologize for my disrespectful attitude towards you, young lady, lacking mutual courtesy and respect…”

“…It’s fine. I heard it when you apologized earlier, so you don’t need to say it again.”

“E-excuse me, but could you please tell me the name of your family? The August family will directly go to your estate to compensate…”

“Uh…”

“Please, I beg of you, young lady.”

 

…This is somehow getting more and more troublesome.

What compensation? Even if I receive such a thing, it will just flow into the Blackwood family, so it’s not my money anyway.

…And there’s no way I have a family name to reveal in this situation.

What’s the point of the commoner Lilith revealing her family? To send a surprise package to that gambler father of hers?

Then again, if I don’t show any reaction in this situation, it will seem like I’m being stubborn because I don’t want to accept the apology.

This woman seemed like the type who would annoyingly stick around until I accepted her apology.

…Here, I can only appropriately deflect and move on.

 

“I’ll accept your apology. But you don’t need to worry about compensation.”

“P-pardon?”

“As I said earlier, the incident just now was simply a mistake we both made together. So, while I’ll accept your apology for the insult, let’s not talk about compensation.”

“Ah, aaaahh…”

 

Lizzy looked at me with an expression as if she was moved by my words.

Anyway, with this, I should be able to avoid a situation where I have to reveal my non-existent noble family.

This was enough. To begin with, the part that annoyed me about Lizzy had completely disappeared after seeing her and Caraham’s spectacle just now.

I met some other characters from the game for a change and had a moderately fun spectacle, so let’s call it even.

 

“…If the apology is over, I’d like you to disappear from my sight now.”

“E-excuse us! …Ca-Caraham! Get up quickly!”

“I-I can walk, so don’t pull my ear, Sister!”

 

And so, Caraham and Lizzy vanished like the wind as quickly as they had come.

In a situation where they had already drawn the attention of all sorts of people in many ways, the two people who were at its center left the Evening Rose Hall and disappeared outside.

 

‘Ah.’

 

It was only after the two disappeared from my sight that I realized I had words I hadn’t conveyed.

 

‘I should have told them in advance not to participate in Imperial events for the next year.’

 

I don’t like it when a character whose face I know dies in the next episode or something.

Maybe I should send an anonymous letter to the August family soon.
