Chapter 13 Let’s Run Away
Well, let’s sleep.
I stretch out and head toward the bed. The personal servant was making the bed beautiful.
Top-class inn sure is the best!
When I try to dive into the bed….
『Wait a minute. Didn’t you hear a woman’s voice just now? 』
The Evil Sword talked to me like that.
………Haha.
I didn’t. Well, I’m looking forward to sleep in that expensive bed. Since I always slept on a hard futon, I couldn’t stop being excited.
『No, you did! Surely you heard it! It’s strange that a woman goes out on such night! Let’s go see it! Maybe the woman is in danger…!』
Is he an idiot? It’s because there might be a danger, so I pretend not to know.
To begin with, the bad one is the one who goes outside in the middle of the night even though powerless. That’s why I have never thought about walking around the capital in the middle of the night.
As much as possible, the danger must be avoided. If you’ve been avoiding it desperately but still unavoidable, you can just push it to people around or use them as a shield.
Good grief… anyone understands such an obvious thing.
In other words, even if a stranger woman is in danger, it doesn’t matter to me.
Let’s hurry go to sleep.
『Alright, let’s go! Alistar!! Do justice!! 』
「Ugyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?」
What the hell is this guy doiiiiiiiing!? Ah, my head gonna breaks!!
I-I understand! We’re going, so stop the headache!!
I easily yielded to the threat of the evil sword.
◆
Haa… it’s seriously scary…
While unwillingly going out in the night, I restlessly looking around.
Ahh… I want to return to that cozy and warm inn….
Why do I have to throw myself into such dangerous place….
The liveliness in the daytime was completely gone in the night, it’s as if a different world. Only the moonlight shines around.
There might be someone who thinks it fantastic or romantic, but unfortunately there’s no such thing in my brain.
『Why are you so scared?』
In contrast to me, the cursed sword was very relaxed. Go die.
Unlike you inorganic material, I have a soul. You don’t seem to know because you’ve been abandoned in the forest for hundreds of years….
『I wasn’t thrown away. I was just enshrined.』
The public order in the capital city is not necessarily good.
Ignoring the cursed sword’s words, I tell this blockhead in my brain.
Instead, the only winning point of the damn deserted village that I was in might be pubic order.
In that place is mostly acquaintance so you can’t do strange things…… the economic situation was similarly poor, so there was nothing like an economic disparity.
On the other hand, in this gaudy royal capital where a lot of people gathered, there’s a lot of disparity. You can understand that the public order is bad.
It’s better because there are knights who are still patrolling at daytime, but at night… those who make the public order bad start to loitering. It’s scary.
『Hee… in spite of countryman, you sure know about it.』
I’ll kill you, cursed sword.
Well, this is what Magali taught me. She likes reading, she always showed off whenever she acquires knowledge. That was annoying….
That’s why, will you stop going?
I don’t think a decent guy who knows more about the capital than I would go out at night, and if it was really a scream, she might already die when we go there, after all….
『Let’s hurry!!』
I understand, so stop the headache!!
◆
I feel heavy.
From now on, do I have to poke myself into trouble many times?
After all, I have to dispose of this cursed sword no matter what….
Because my body was moving while thinking that, I steadily approaching danger.
I really want to throw away the cursed sword and escape… but when I try to do so, the cursed sword manipulates my body.
Nonetheless, it was very uncomfortable that my body moves without permission, and I couldn’t escape in the first place, so I obediently yield in.
……While thinking a way to dispose of the cursed sword.
「――――――」
The voice was getting closer. It’s a woman’s voice but… isn’t it too long for a scream of being attacked?
Is it something that lasts for such a long time? Perhaps, it’s not troublesome things.
When I think so, I feel at ease too. My mind has calmed down but… My clear brain has come up with something bad.
……No, if the perpetrator is an insane guy who hurts the victim for a long time… aahh, I want to run away…
Right, for example, if it’s someone who enjoys watching people screaming or suffering, killing for pleasure is there… It’s too scary that I about to wet myself.
『Don’t say that. Let’s hurry!』
I tried putting a little force on my feet and struggling, but I couldn’t win the cursed sword’s power of manipulating the body.
Turning at the corner and there was….
「Ahh, dear. My beloved dear… why did you go?」
It was a woman with a sorrowful face, reaching out to the remnant of the moon, lit by the moonlight.
……Drug addict, huh? Let’s run away.
