55 – Yahhoooo!
Chapter 55 Yahhoooo!
The sun has long set and only the big moon is in the sky. The light is so brilliant that the surroundings were clearly visible even at night.
How happy would it be to have a moon viewing drink in a safe place?
Despite that, I’m not in a safe house for some reason, but hiding in the bushes and looking at Maximilian’s residence.
Screw this.
「After all, there are guards.」
In front of my eyes, there are two guards who guarded the gate.
Okay, let’s give up and go home. I said so while putting such intentions, but it seems that it was not transmitted to my companion.
「That’s exactly what I expected. That’s why Alistar, can I leave it to you?」
The one that said so with much faith was Malta. Because she’s hiding in the same bushes, her body is close.
Oi, stay away. You’re hitting me. I’m not happy at all you know. I mean, feeling others’ body warmth is disgusting. I can’t physically accept others’ body warmth.
「………Yeah」
『Your reply so heavy.』
That’s obvious. Why I have to sneak into the noble residence for those who I have never met?
Just sneaking in is a serious crime. I don’t understand the meaning of doing dangerous things and that’s not for myself.
In addition, the one we’re going to save are mermaids, right? Do you think there’s someone who wants to save those who drag humans into the sea?
『Well, just leave it to me.』
It seems he’s getting tired of my complaints, the cursed sword says so and starts manipulating my body.
You, having no hesitation when manipulating a human body means you really are not a holy sword.
While thinking about such things, my body is approaching the gatekeeper with a quick movement that normally could not be done.
「Guha!?」
「H-hey, what’s going on!? Gaha!?」
First, the cursed sword hit one that was letting his guard down and made him fainted. Then, he hit one that couldn’t understand the situation and made him fainted too.
Too quick. But, I won’t feel scared this way, so it’s better. But….
Hey! If you move my body so suddenly like this, I will surely have muscle pain tomorrow! Adjust it more properly!
That’s a hell you know!!
『Ehh… This much is a normal move for a combatant, you know?』
I’m not a combatant!!
It’s the same as before. The pain in my whole body was terrible after I fought the Gray Guild boss, even though I didn’t get much attack!
In addition, because I did a weird slash, I felt like something inside me was squeezed. Have you forgotten!?
「Amazing… Alistar, how did you get so strong?」
Malta is approaching and starts talking so.
Strong she said?
「I’m not strong at all…」
「Alistar…?」
When I say so with a sad expression, Malta looks up with doubt.
This woman doesn’t know about it. I’m being manipulated by a cursed sword and doing things that I don’t want.
Hmph, it’s a tragic drama ikemen…
「Well, let’s go. We won’t know when the other guards will come when they feel something strange.」
「Y-yeah…」
When I say so, even though she has an expression that she can’t understand it, she begins to walk in front of me as if to lead the way.
Well, she’s the one that knows where the mermaids are. If I’m the one that takes the lead, I’ll turn around and go home.
「Still…」
I show a bitter look.
Damn…! That bastard Magali, she has the nerve to escape alone…!
Yes, there is no Magali here. Only me and Malta that infiltrate to Maximilian’s residence.
『Magali absolutely not going to move and you absolutely not going to give up. It was a bizarre sight, pulling each other while saying ‘nononono’…..』
I strongly pulled her, who clung with her thin arms to the house pillar and didn’t want to go no matter what. I wonder where did that power come out from her weak body, she resolutely refused to go.
Certainly, Magali’s physical strength is garbage and she has no fighting ability as much as I do, so there is nothing she can do other than become a hindrance… nevertheless, I can’t forgive it that she’s the only one that stays in a safe place!
Right now, she must be drinking alcohol while laughing at me.
Damn… with just thinking about her, my murderous impulse and hatred are going strange…!
When I was thinking so while following Malta…
「……Here.」
Malta stopped.
Are there mermaids here? I don’t care anymore, let’s finish it quickly.
But, we didn’t meet anyone other than the gatekeepers. Was it a good luck or does Maximilian plotting something…?
If it’s the latter then this is the worst. Let’s escape even if I have to use Malta as a decoy.
「Ah……!?」
「Are you okay!?」
Apparently, Malta found the mermaids.
It seems Maximilian is stupid, he placed the mermaids here.
He’s really stupid. Really really stupid.
「M-Malta? Why are you here…?」
「I came to save you!」
To the bewildered mermaids, Malta answered so.
Looking at it, I’m abusing inside.
……Why are you placing the mermaids here? If you sold them to the slave market quickly, Malta wouldn’t notice the mermaids and I wouldn’t come to this place…
Seriously, are all nobles in this country only incompetent?
……Speaking of which, there are several mermaids, but are we going to release all of them?
There’s only me and Malta you know? Don’t say we’re going to return and come again to save all of them, we’ll be found out for sure you know?
I seriously don’t need a burden…
「Oh? Oh my, oh my… wasn’t the promise tomorrow?」
「Maximilian…!」
When I had an unpleasant premonition while sweating, I heard a happy voice.
Yes, it’s the incompetent… I mean, Maximilian.
Looking at him, Malta shows a disdainful expression.
「Intruders must be eliminated!」
It looks like he has no intention to talk, Maximilian says so and snaps his finger. Then, a lot of people rushing in while raising angry voices. Are they the guards?
Looking at those guys, I……
「Leave it to me!」
I rush out to the front.
Hmph…… this is something that normally I will never do. What would be the right thing for me is to throw Malta into these guys and escape from the gap. However, I somehow can’t wipe out this bad feeling.
How should I put it… I feel like Maximilian has more hidden balls. That’s why my intuition is appealing to me that dealing with these small fries is better.
Let’s leave the trouble things to Malta. If she can’t do it, let’s run away.
「Then, I’ll be your opponent, Maximilian. I’ll avenge my brethren.」
「Hmm? What are you saying? Your opponent is not me you know?」
When Malta pulled out the trident spear while looking at Maximilian, he showed a smile with composure.
After all, just like what I expected!
「What――――」
It was when she was about to ask his real intention with a dubious expression.
「GUOOOOOOOOOO!!」
「Uh!?」
There was a terrible roar that made the ground rumbling, and the one who raised such roar is charging at Malta.
Yahhoooo!
