Chapter 62

Translated by kingavent Edited by kingavent

While it was raining, I had a coffee at Torne Shokai and then left the dormitory to walk around the city to go to the labyrinth.

Umbrellas are not very popular in this world, and raincoats made of highly water-repellent Forest Frog leather were the mainstream.

By the way, aristocrats move by carriage or dragon car, so they don’t need rain gear.

As usual, I wore a forest frog raincoat and walked around the city.

due to the rain, there were a lot less people on the street.

When I saw Torne Shokai, I sensed a magical reaction in the back alley.

I can’t say for sure because I haven’t seen it, but it seems that someone is being chased and attacked by multiple people.

I might have a hard time moving, that’s fine. Just in case, I put on the hood and run toward the back alley.

◆

Entering the back alley, it was the moment when a girl of the same age, dressed in tattered, high-class clothes, was about to be caught by a very dubious group of black clothes.

A knife is held in the hand of the black clothed person, and it looks like he is trying to reap the life of the girl.

At first I was thinking about looking at the situation, but that was blown out of my head, and I was slamming Yoruichi into black cloth that was taking action.

“Gaha !?”

The black cloth person was slammed against the wall and stopped moving.

Yeah … I shouldn’t have hit him with the power to kill, but is it okay …?

While the cold sweat was running down his back, the black clothes stopped moving at a distance, perhaps because they were wary of me who suddenly appeared.

There were five black clothes, including the one I mentioned earlier.

I stand in front of the girl and face the black clothes.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t seem to be friends with those people anyway, so I didn’t know the circumstances and took action.”

Talk to the girl behind me without looking away from black clothes.

The girl seemed to be breathtaking.

“Oh, you … No, thank you for your help. I would have been dead without you …”

“Who are you? … No, it doesn’t matter who you are. If you disturb us, you’ll die. If you leave the woman there, we’ll spare you.”

A black clothed guy calmly talks to me even though one of his friends was.

The black clothes are holding knives without a gap, and it can be seen that they are not just small fish.

“What are you going to do with this girl?”

“… It doesn’t matter to you. You can choose to die or leave.”

Someone who doesn’t listen …

It’s easy to get away with the girl here, but there’s a risk of being killed by these people later, so it’s best to get rid of them all.

“I can’t accept the two choices …!”

”Lightning Aura” , Wearing thunder I rushed to the black clothes.

The black clothes were completely unresponsive to the attack, and all but the leader-like man sank into the wall in an instant. They’re too weak.

Only the leader-like man was left, I smashed his bones and put a knife to his neck.

His hands and feet were broken, so he couldn’t move, and the man was lying down and crawling on the ground.

“If you don’t want to have your neck separated, don’t move.”

I don’t think he can do anything other than magic anymore, but I’ll threaten him just in case.

Magic can also be stopped by hitting it at this distance before it is activated.

“Ahhh … ohhhhh …”

The man was quivering and drooling, but I asked without hesitation.

“Who are you? Why were you aiming for the girl’s life?”

“Ki, Kizamaa !! Do you think you can do this !? We were trying to bring the woman back at the request of the kingdom! You will be sentenced to death for national treason! “

“Country’s request … Bring me back …? After reaping my life with a knife?”

“Gi, it doesn’t matter to Gizama !!!! there’s still time !? If you kill the woman and leave, it won’t be a  rebellion of Kizama !! ? “

“You don’t seem to know your position yet. If all the witnesses were gone, wouldn’t it be all right?”

I  intimidate the man.

The man, who was full of wounds and couldn’t resist, was intimidated and got his pants wet.

“Ababa Baba … Zu, Zubi Maze !!!! Zumi Baba !! Don’t fall, don’t fall !!!”

“Huh !?”

I wonder if the aftermath is that he turned into a kid…?

When I turned around, the girl trembled, with blushing cheeks, and had an ecstatic expression on her face.

…… I haven’t seen anything, I haven’t seen anything.

Immediately look back at the man and resume the cross-examination.

“So, at whose request in the kingdom, did you try to kill this girl?”

“That is the king !! It turned out that the woman there was aiming for the king’s life and ran away, so please catch her dead or alive! I was told that it was a request from the king !!”

King … If that’s true, it’s a terrible story …

He glances at the girl in black who says she tried to kill the king.

The girl bit her lips with regret and was looking down.

Well, it seems bad.

If you were to aim for the king’s life, would you ask someone like this assassin?

I think it’s usually wanted and the guards will catch it.

Hmm……? By the way, I was told …

“Who said it was a request from the king?”

“Well, it’s the Chancellor !!”

“I see … Thank you for your cooperation. Please sleep for the time being.”

Judging that no more information would come out, he beat the man’s nape and and made him faint.

◆

“Are you okay?”

I reach out to the girl who is sitting down on the ground.

“Oh, that … Thank you … Yes …”

The girl stood up, holding my hand.

“Who are you …?”

The girl asks me while looking down. It looks like her cheeks are still a little blushing.

“I’m Sirius, a C-rank adventurer. May I know about you?”

“The one who has the ability to defeat them unilaterally is C rank …? No, it is C rank at this age …”

The girl has an expression of astonishment at my answer is pondering and muttering something.

“… Sirius, thank you very much for your help.I am Charlotte El Altria. The … the third princess of the Kingdom of Altria. “

she said so and lifted her face.

The girl who raised her face had white skin that was as clear as snow and big eyes that were moisturized and shining.

She was a beautiful girl that made you believe that she was a princess and even if she wasn’t, she could be mistaken as one.

Even the dirt and scratches that were made while escaping from black clothes seemed to be an accent that accentuated her beauty.

“Sirius, please help me, please …!”

Princess Charlotte held my hand and asked with a serious expression.

There were tears in her eyes.

“Well, uh, uh … to help the country …? He said that, but what happened?”

Princess Charlotte opened her mouth, tightening her expression.

“Our country … No, my father, King Altria, is being manipulated by someone. If I don’t stop my father, our country will be in trouble.”

“The king is being manipulated …? Did you try to kill him?”

“Well, I’m not doing that! I just walked into my dad’s room yesterday to check my dad’s condition! Then, in the morning, the dark people with weapons broke into my bedroom. I was able to quickly notice and escape from the castle because I was wearing a magical tool to detect intruders into the room … but in the end I was caught up and I am now … “

I see … It’s certainly an invasion of the demon territory, and when you think of the recent news, it’s true that the king is being manipulated.

“When I concentrated on exploring magical power, my father had a faint remnant of dark magic. I think that he was probably manipulated by spiritual control magic …”

“Invasion of the demon territory, isn’t it?”

Princess Charlotte slightly opened her eyes.

“You already knew …!? So I have something to ask Sirius-sama.”

“If I could do it …”

“Would you like to be my escort?”

“Escort …?”

“Yes, I’m going back to the royal castle as it is. They shouldn’t be able to hurt the princess head-on, so I’m hoping you can help me find who controls my father.”

“… Do you think I can do that?”

“Yes, I think. I’m not just inheriting the blood of the royal family. It’s obvious that Sirius-sama’s magical background is superior to mine. Because Sirius-sama’s magical power sensing was excellent. That’s why I haven’t died yet. “

“I’m not buying it … but I understand. I’ll help you.”

You can’t just know this and leave it alone.

She thanked him reverently and he smiled at Princess Charlotte.
