“You’re awake. I’m sorry. A lot happened so I didn’t have time to get you dressed. I brought your clothes with me …… but it seems you don’t have any underwear.”
“Uhh …… It feels breezy. I have no underwear, so I feel weird …… Um, where am I? How did you end up at the river?”
Kate was wondering, so I pointed right next to her…
“Hiii!? D-Don’t tell me these …… are all members of the Dark Guild!?”
She looked at the dozen or so men who had fallen and embraced me in a horrified manner.
“I’d like you not to hug Father so casually. You are supposed to be on their side, aren’t you?”
“Hiyaaa! Please wait! I don’t even have an underwear, let alone a weapon, so I’m not going to attack you now after you’ve done such an amazing thing to me!”
“I still haven’t had that amazing thing done to me!”
Let’s see, let’s not point our weapons at Kate, who has completely lost her will to fight.
“U-Um, what is this pile of unconscious people in the first place?”
“Well, a little while after we left that house, they just kept attacking us. And since it would be an inconvenience to the people in the city, I just directed them to the nearby river.”
They kept coming one after the other, I wonder how many members of the Dark Guild there are in this town.
“I don’t if I’m right, but weren’t these people after me?”
“I wonder. I can’t say for sure, since I took them all out right away.”
“No, I’m sure they were after me. I really don’t know much more than what I just told you, but they’re still trying to keep my mouth shut. Please! Sir Alex! I understand very well that this is a very brazen request. But …… could you please help me?”
Kate bowed her head to me saying that but …… what should I do?
“……Kate, how much have you been involved in the activities of the Dark Guild so far?”
“If you ask me how much …… I don’t know how to answer that correctly. I was sold to a slave trader at a very young age, and I’m in the Dark Guild because there were no takers anywhere.”
“No buyers …… Even though you’re so cute?”
“Ehehe …… Kohon. I was born with no magic powers. Sir Alex said that I’m a dancer, but my job is a magic type. But I can’t use magic, so they were creeped out of me …… Ah! But in terms of missions, this is my first time.”
She was given a magic-type job, but she can’t use magic.
…… I’ve heard this story somewhere.
I think it’s also sad that she was sold into slavery at a very young age.
Also, you don’t have to hold your weapon, Tsuki.
“Father! Father is too lenient with this one! …… I wish you would say I’m cute too!”
“What are you saying now? Tsuki is cute, of course, without even saying it.”
“F-Father! I love you!”
Oh, so Tsuki was just sulking.
While stroking Tsuki’s head and preventing her hands from touching strange places, Mami came up to me.
“Alex, what about me? Am I cute too-pon?”
“Yeah. Mami’s cute, too.”
“I’m so happy-pon! Let’s make a baby right away-pon!”
No, we won’t.
Don’t try to take advantage of this situation, Kate.
“By the way, is Kate still a slave-pon?”
“Yes. I also have a slave crest.”
“If so, that slave’s crest will tell us where we are.”
“I-Is that so!? Then, if I stay by Sir Alex’s side, the Dark Guild will know my location?”
“Normally, that’s true-pon. But if you don’t have magic power, they won’t know-pon.”
Hmmm. If Mami is right and the slave crest shows our location, they can find out where our stronghold is and make a surprise attack at night …… I guess that’s what they’d do.
We won’t be able to go back to Julie’s house anytime soon.
“But is it because Kate has no magic power, or is it because the dark guild side is defenseless? The slave crest revealed the owner’s location-pon. Alex …… what are you going to do?”
“Does that mean we can now know the location of the Dark Guild?”
“That’s what it means.”
It seems that it is usually impossible to trace the owner from Kate’s slave crest, so I think Mami is more amazing than the Dark Guild is defenseless …… Let’s just destroy that organization for now.
