v3c71.1 - Intermission 33 - The Master disappears and Sakura, the Shinobi goes looking for her
“Lady Meilin. It’s lunch …… now!?”
As usual, I climbed the long staircase and brought the meal to the top floor of the tower …… to my lady’s room, but the most important thing of all, my lady was not there!
“W-What is the meaning of this!? Sakura …… I will go and report to my superiors. You stay here.”
“Roger that.”
My partner – or rather, the observer, rushes down the tower.
In this tower, we are always made to work in pairs, so normally, now that I am alone, I would think of this as a chance to work on the room and save Lady Meilin! That’s what I thought, but…
“But now that Lady Meilin is gone, does that mean that there was someone else trying to save Lady Meilin besides me?”
Lady Meilin is the last of the black-haired royalty.
It is not surprising that there are people like me who change their hair color, survive, and serve others in secret.
It’s not strange, but …… why did they escape at this time!?
Even if they did, it would usually be in the middle of the night.
Or did they decide to do it because she got the necessary seeds to activate Lady Meilin’s skill?
However, in this castle where men are forbidden, it is extremely difficult to obtain a man’s seed.
Even I am having difficulty, so how did they do it?
“Some kind of skill ……?”
There is only one way in and out of this room …… and that is the long staircase that I and the others climbed, and beyond that, there are a large number of guards.
It would be difficult to break through there in the light of day with Lady Meilin in tow.
There is one small window with iron bars.
It doesn’t look as if it has been removed, and it is hard to imagine that they came out from here, but did they have flying skills?
While I was thinking about that…
“What!? Did they really …… How could this be!”
Before I knew it, my observer had returned with her superior.
“As usual, when Sakura and I brought the food, she was already gone. Of course, the door was locked.”
“This isn’t good. If that girl is out there and uses her skills …… the country will be destroyed.”
“The country will be destroyed …… D-Did that girl really have such amazing skill?”
“Yes. I heard that she has the skill to create an infinite number of soldiers who are magical creatures that look exactly like humans.”
“Magical creatures!? Infinite soldiers!?”
“Moreover, it is said that the knowledge and skills taught to these magical creatures are shared by newly created magical creatures. In other words, if you teach one magical creature how to fight, it will produce soldiers who know how to fight without the need for further training.”
Close.
Strictly speaking, dolls created from the same male seed will share knowledge …… is correct.
So, if you get a child from the same person over and over again, you don’t need any education or training, they’re an immediate asset.
However, I have no obligation to tell those who imprisoned Lady Meilin.
However …… since the age of the doll is half of the donor of the seed, it is best to keep getting lots from good middle-aged men, although the weakness of middle-aged men is that they can’t do it often enough.
It would be ideal to have a strong and peerless middle-aged man, but such a man usually has to avoid honey traps, and it’s also a problem because it doesn’t work on them.
“But such a great skill …… it naturally has strict activation conditions, doesn’t it?”
“No, not really. Given her looks and age, it’s easy to fulfill the conditions …… it’s an emergency! We kept her alive to let her use that skill for us, but we can’t do that anymore! We’ll have the whole army search for the girl who escaped!”
I knew it would come to this.
Well, now that I have no reason to stay in this castle, let’s get the hell out of here and find Lady Meilin.
First of all, hoping that the person who rescued Lady Meilin is not incompetent enough to be captured by the soldiers right away, and I blend in with the assembled soldiers.
For a moment, I pretend to be listening to my superior’s explanation earlier…
“Do whatever it takes to get that girl! But do not use men! Now go!”
I exit the castle with the soldiers around me boldly.
After walking for a while at random, and when everyone had begun to disperse to some extent, I went into the forest north of the castle.
I took off the unnecessarily heavy armor and hides it in a tree.
“Now that I’m lighter, let’s start with …… [Selfless Devotion]”
I used my skill–not a soldier, but my Shinobi job skill, and my body naturally started to move toward the east.
“East, huh ……”
I don’t know who or where the person who saved Lady Meilin is hiding, but no matter how far away Lady Meilin is, I know that with my skills, I will be able to reach her one day.
I am sure he is not so far away, since they have Lady Meilin with them.
I decided to head east as fast as I could, thinking that with my legs, I would be able to catch up with them in no time.
