I donât want to be disliked by the princess of the country whoâll take care of me from now on.
No ⊠To be honest, I also donât want to be hated by such a pretty girl.
Letâs clarify the reason for killing and restore my image.
I remove the [Magic Seal] from the assassin and hand it over to the princess.
âPrincess, make sure this bracelet is real.â
âThat ⊠the assassin was wearing it a while ago right? Itâs undoubtedly the real thing? Does it make sense to confirm the obvious?â
âThatâs right ⊠it makes sense to be sure. And hold the key.â
âI donât understand, but Iâll do it âŠâ
âCaptain, can you put a chain on this bracelet and lock my hands behind my back to secure it?â
Everyone is confused because they donât know what I want to do.
âIn that case, please use the [Magic Seal] that I have.â
The one I was in had no chain because it just sealed my magic.
âThen, can you use it to restrain me? Please leave the key to the princess.â
Apparently, the bracelet of this country was made in the same way as the one I was wearing so it shouldnât be a problem.
Everyone watched in front of me.
Itâs Show Time!
âAs you can see, I have been detained by the captainâs hand with a [magical seal].â
Theyâre looking at me with a âhuhâ face.
âSomething will happen 5 seconds from now, so keep an eye on me. Letâs start.â
I raise my right hand in front of everyone so that it is easy to see, and I fold my fingers to count.
â5, 4, 3 âŠâ
âAh! Luke you! That!â
As expected of my brother! Only he seems to have noticed so far.
âWhatâs wrong brother? You shouldnât spoil it for others.â
âJail-sama? Did you notice anything? Please tell me.â
The blind princess asked my brother a question.
Itâs true that the princess canât see what Iâm doing, so thereâs no point in waiting for it âŠ
âOh, thereâs lint on the princessâ shoulders âŠâ
While saying that, I brought my hand to the princessâs shoulder, pretended to grab something, and quickly took out a tulip bouquet from [Inventory]. It was the one sold by the flower-selling girl. This tulip may be a wild species, but I chose it because It looked more beautiful than normal wildflowers.
âIt was a cute flower. Please, princess.â
I handed it to the princess, but she doesnât notice anything strange yet.
âWhat did you do Luke⊠Princess, luke just raised his hand in front of everyone, counted with his fingers, and took out the bouquet from his [subspace warehouse] â
âEh? Luke, your hands were restrained behind your back werenât they? And you handed me flowers ⊠Oh, this flower has a very nice scent.â
ââ Ah! ??? Seriously !? ââ
âIâm no longer detained? See âŠâ
With that said, I show everyone the hands that were shackled by the bracelet.
âEh ⊠but he just rose his finger and started the countdown ⊠??? And the flowers suddenly came out.â
Itâs fun to make fun of everyone, but in a sense, Iâm sorry for the blind princess, so Iâll give it away.
And even though It was an assassin, I just killed a person ⊠I donât feel happy.
Quickly I removed the other bracelet with a wire and reach out in front of everyone.
âIn this way, this [Magic Seal] can be easily removed with a little trick âŠ. Imagine that the assassin also has that kind of skill. You wonât live long if you treated him as just a stupid thief. â
âââSo easy!âââ
âThis assassin was looking at the princess with a grinning face. The princess was approaching carelessly, so I guess he was laughing in his heartâŠÂ I think he was going to stab her with a needle coated with plenty of instant death deskerogg poison. â
â⊠Thank you, Luke-sama. You saved my life again âŠ. Thank you very much for protecting me three times in a day.â
3 times? Oh, at the time of the first attack and when I protected her with a shield from the arrow. But this last one was just a possibility, and she doesnât have to count it.
âThe scary thing about an assassin is that the result is more important than the individual. The mission is absolute, theyâre not afraid of death, but failure of the mission means death. If you fail, you die. The bigger the job, the more money they get, so I heard the assassination guild doesnât forgive those who fail. â

âJail sama, I intend to return to the Duchy soon. I was informed that my uncleâs troops were coming to meet us. Would you please join us until then?â
Itâs true that theyâve lost 3 knights, and 8 will be too risky.
I donât think thereâll be another attack, but it canât be said that there is absolutely no chance of being attacked.
âI understand. Is that okay Luke?â
âYes, I will follow brotherâs judgment.â
I have a lot to ask the fairy, but I have something to do before we meet the knights from the Duchy.
I have to collect the equipment and the contents that fell from the [Subspace Warehouse] of the killed bandits.
It seems that all the thievesâ belongings will be given to me this time, but they probably donât have any good stuff. Perhaps the most valuable were the horses on which the bandits were riding. There were many pack horses, but also some good horses that were probably stolen. We also pulled out the arrow from the butt of the horse I shot and healed it properly with recovery magic. Even if itâs an assassinâs horse, the horse itself isnât guilty.
The rest are the weapons that the Assassin used. Many of them are made of Mithril, so theyâll sell at a high price.
The bandits who originally surrendered and survived were put up for sale as criminal slaves, but since they attacked the princess ⊠Itâs customary for the royal family to buy them and execute them publicly.
They surrendered and survived temporarily, but they have no chance of salvation.
Whatâs waiting is execution after severe torture and spitting out all the information they have.
