Don't look at me like that, there are only three chapters left, I really don't want to do it!

Every Sunday, the update time will be reduced, and the factory has never had a serious vacation, and you can go and read the book of the book. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The name is very strange, it's called "Author, You Make Me Look Like This", and there are only a dozen chapters at present, so you can raise it first.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"This kind of situation should make His Majesty unhappy, but the Lower Officials now have a word of advice, that is, I hope you can leave here as soon as possible. Just because you've dealt with an Assassin doesn't mean it's safe・・・・・・・・・"

Gray's words caused a lot of noise to start around. By 'not safe', we mean dangerous. Who is in danger, what is in danger? Everyone looked around in confusion.

Squatting on the ground, Alfie and Leilai looked like they had recovered from the fatigue of the fierce battle, and they couldn't help but raise their heads when they heard these words.

Not long after Gray appeared, Shanty Kraft Marea, who had searched the man's belongings and luggage, also stepped forward to Lori, and then took out the crossbow that she had just confiscated.

When you look closely, you can see that the bowstring of the crossbow is hanging from the hook, and the arrows are already set. In the case of a pistol, for example, it is equivalent to a state in which the bullet is loaded into the chamber, the bolt is pulled, and the safety is opened. That is, as soon as the trigger is pulled, the bullet is fired. Weapons in this state are usually not carried around by anyone. From this, it can at least be shown that the man was planning to use this weapon against someone here, with some intention. In this way, Gray's words have a lot of credibility.

At this point, Raylai and Alfie look at each other - what happened?

The two, who were still at a loss about the situation at the scene, hoped to get a further explanation from Shanti, so they asked, "What's the matter with that person?"

"That man blended in with the crowd and tried to assassinate Lord Leilai!"

"Huh, why!?"

The person who couldn't help but raise her voice was not Lelai, but her sister Alfie.

"There's no time to explain it now. Everyone, please ・・・・・・ as soon as possible."

Gray's advice was slow to respond, and it still seemed that they couldn't grasp the ins and outs.

However, there is a person whose understanding and reflexes are superior only in such times.

"I see. Everybody come with me, hurry up, get out of here right away!"

The man who spoke was Itami. He beckoned Raylai and Alfie to them, urging them to 'quick, quick, quick,' as he walked up. Pushed away the wall of people who stood in the way, leaving the [Marina] store behind.

Gray and Shanty looked around with wary eyes, following the group.

At the same time, Itami called Yao over and instructed her—"You go first and go back to the inn to see what is going on." ”

I don't know if I was happy to be assigned to the mission, Yao replied like a spring breeze, "Understood! Let me check if there are any suspicious people wandering around the hotel?"

"Duja, you can go with you. Please!"

At this time, Duja, who still looked unrelieved, immediately agreed after hearing Itami's request - "I can't help it", she nodded in agreement.

So, Du Jia and Yao trotted all the way back to the hotel.

Lelai and Alfie follow Mimussa and Edan, while Lori, Gray, and Shandy keep casting wary glances around.

Eva, on the other hand, didn't know what she was thinking.

"Tell me, who's eyeing Leilai? she's such a good girl・・・・・・

Mimusa's protesting questioning caused Gray and Shanty to look at each other.

The two of them looked hesitant, not knowing how to respond. There are a lot of people around, and this is not a good place to talk. That being said, Itami next to him seems to want some information from it. So, he changed his way of asking questions—to the extent that Gray and Shanty could answer, avoiding questions that were inconvenient to answer, and getting the information he wanted in the form of side-tapping.

"Who ordered your actions? Is it really the princess?"

"Yes!" replied Shanti.

From the moment she started, she kept repeating this routine - stopping, looking around, and then walking briskly forward again...... So much so that his breathing became a little short, and his sweaty flaxen bangs were clinging to his forehead.

Shanti secretly complained in her mind that if it weren't for this task, she would have been active in the peace negotiations in the imperial capital as a decent and glamorous translator. However, contrary to his wishes, he is now forced to stage such an uncivilized martial arts in such a place.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has instructed us to invite Lord Leilai to the imperial capital. His Highness also said that if it were me and Gray, I would definitely gain the trust of Lord Itami and his party. However, on the way, we were surprised to learn that someone was hiring Assassins, so we hurried to report it・・・・・"

The reason why Gray was also able to gain the trust of Itami and his party was because he had been introduced to Itami and the others through the introduction of Shanti, who was studying Japanese in Arnous, when he participated in the battle against the thieves in Italica.

"Who is eyeing Leilai...... That's not an answer here, is it? But you can always tell me why you're so tight-lipped, right?"

"Itami-sama. The identity of this [who] is still in the stage of speculation, and imprudent statements will attract right and wrong, which has to make people have some scruples. ”

After saying this preface, Gray added the following with the words 'just ・・・・・・・'.

"It's just that the fact that ・・・・・・・ Yanlong's head was hung up in the imperial capital for public display made Lord Leilai's name quickly resound throughout the imperial capital and its surrounding areas, and even reached the point where no one knew about it. And the [who] seems to be quite unhappy about this. ”

"The head of the Yanlong has appeared in the imperial capital?"

"Don't you know about this?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the dragon's head was taken by the Black Elves. They also said that they would use the dragon's head as proof to announce the good news of the destruction of Yanlong to the world, so that everyone would know that their net worth and life would never be threatened again......"

"It really works・・・・・・

"And it's outstanding. Thanks to it, people's opinion of Lord Raylai has never been higher!"

Although Gray and Shandy explained to Itami, Itami tilted his head and said in confusion, 'That's weird.' Because in the explanation of the two of them, there is no mention of the only reason why Leilai's evaluation is so high.

Assuming that this reason refers to the killing of the Flame Dragon, then everyone present should be targeted, but it turns out that the reason for this assumption is not appropriate.

Immediately, Gray stopped, looked back at Leilai and said.

"It's not just Lord Relai who is known by her name. However, since you and your companions are either foreigners or aliens, the inhabitants of the Empire will have very different feelings when they look at Lord Relai and you. The lower officials think that this is the root of the matter-"

Itami was still confused.

"Why?"

"That's because - Lord Relai is both a subject of the Empire and a member of the human race・・・・・・・"

"The people, including me, usually make a living from wandering and make their homes from all over the world. I never wanted to be a subject of the Empire. ”

"From the point of view of ordinary people, what you are saying has nothing to do with them. No, it can't be said so categorically - perhaps that's why it won the unanimous applause of the people. In any case, what the nobles, the soldiers, and even His Majesty the Emperor could not accomplish were thus successfully solved by you, a non-naturalized citizen. For those who are not willing to be ruled by the Empire, your presence greatly stimulates their hearts・・・・・・・"

Itami thinks that this is similar to the mentality of cheering for the players in the baseball and soccer leagues abroad, and if the team to which the players belong wins, the domestic media will broadcast various special programs around the clock.

However, the situation of the other players who are also active in the team is not known at all, and only a small percentage of die-hard fans will care about the situation of those players - it is fair to say that this example is similar to the current situation.

"Hey, wait a minute. I don't see any reason from your explanation for anyone to take Leilai's life!!"

Apparently, Gray showed a look of wariness at the woman who had just been fighting with Laylay, and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

Before Alfie could speak, Lei Lai on the side replied first: "She is my sister." ”

"That's the case! The previous fight was just a quarrel between sisters, it's really an exaggeration~~!"

"That doesn't matter. You haven't answered my question yet. Why is Leilai being targeted? Speaking of which, what's the matter with Yanlong's head?"

"Oh, don't you know?" Gray looked at Lay, puzzled.

"I didn't tell her. ”

"It's amazing. I should have made things clear from the beginning!"

"What I did wasn't a big deal・・・・・・・・"

"Herein lies the problem. Lord Lelai, you still have no idea how much your previous feat was worth!"

Gray gave a look of 'disbelief' and shook his head repeatedly. Later, he briefly repeated the crusade against the Yanlong to Alfie.

"Not long ago, Ling Mei and everyone present worked together to successfully complete the feat of defeating Yanlong!!

"What? Don't be stupid・・・・・・・ hey, this can't be true, can it?"

Gray ignored Alfie's questioning, and continued to speak in a cold tone - in his opinion, there was simply no time to answer such questions here now. At the same time, it is precisely because of Gray's attitude that Alfie can realize that the truth he says is beyond doubt.

"It seems that [someone] is very disgusted by Mistress Relai's work. And for the sake of self-justification, how can you find some reason for it just by talking about it—[there is no more intractable thing than a living hero], or "it is even more intolerable if it is a non-naturalized people", etc・・・・・・・・., but no matter how many reasons are listed, in the final analysis, the uncontrollable emotion is actually very simple - that is, the so-called jealousy. ”

"I see・・・・・・・

Itami muttered and nodded. It seems that this is probably the reason why Leilai is being targeted.

"However, the problem now is that none of the Assassins who came this time seem to be ordinary people. Lord Relai's exploits in destroying the Yanlong seem to have attracted the attention of the masterminds behind the scenes, so they sent powerful assassins to carry out the assassination mission. The strength of the Lower Officials and Lord Shanti alone would not be able to stop those guys. So I hope you can all lend a hand and help!"

"Needless to say. Who would say "no" to protecting the safety of their own family?"

Itami's sworn reply made the next Lelai stare at him intently.

"Great, worthy of the legendary man in green, it is really extraordinary. Let's join forces and get back to those guys with a shotgun!"

However, after hearing Gray's admiration, Itami shook his head, as if he was saying, 'I'm sorry I might disappoint you.'"

"Oh, look at what you said. Do I look like such a belligerent person?"

"Are you embarrassed to be involved in various incidents many times?" Eva glanced at Itami.

"Uh・・・・・・・" Eva said that seems to be eh?!

Now Itami didn't know what to do, after all, what Eva said was true.

"It's like the hero of the story. ”
