"Hey, Melia, what the hell are you talking about? Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Anyway, calm down first, why do you say that?"

Seeing Melia's expression of wanting to make a move, Cecilia beside her hurriedly stopped her.

She was still in a depressed state just now, and she suddenly became angry, and it was no problem to say that such a development was too bizarre, so that Her Highness the Holy Maiden could only stand in place with a blank face.

As if disgusted with our plans, Melia looked at her defiantly.

"Didn't you notice Cecilia, we were going to the hotel on the outskirts of the city, but then Paul suddenly appeared. Then, when we were tracking him down and getting lost, we suddenly encountered the little girl kidnapped by the thugs in the city. It's too much of a coincidence. ”

"Well, it seems strange that you say that. But that's not necessarily what Paul arranged......"

Shaking her head and ignoring the unknown Holy Maiden, Melia continued:

"Of course, it's not just that, but the point is, when we first met the thugs, we were wearing cloaks, but the coerced little girl said that we were two older sisters without even thinking about it, as if she had known we were coming here. That's when I started to get a little skeptical. ”

That seems to be the case. ”

Hearing her say this, Her Highness seemed to ponder for a moment, and cast a puzzled look at Paul.

"Since then, I've been mindful that these thugs aren't pretending. But Cecilia have you noticed, instead of being rude to the little girl, these little thugs with a bad personality are a little respectful, do you think this will be the case with ordinary rascals?"

…… Ooh.

"It's too serious, everything is wrong. In order to confirm this, I kept the leader orc, whom they called the boss, during the demonstration, and only knocked down all his men, and then pretended not to rush in on him. ”

Melia confidently waved her cloak, then pointed to Paul, who was facing away from him.

"It's obviously a group of out-and-out hooligans, but at this time, they don't think of using hostages to blackmail us. In other words, it is very likely that the little girl also knows each other, and this is just a trap. It wasn't until the last look in the eyes of the leading thug that I was convinced that someone had instructed them to do this, and I was right, Mr. Headless Horseman suddenly appeared to save the scene!"

Are you a detective X Nan!

By the time Melia finished speaking, Her Highness looked at her with a blank face, and she was completely in a shocked situation.

And so do I.

Beside me, Paul, whose face turned blue after hearing Melia's words, and who trembled slightly, clenched his fists hard.

Then, without looking back, he said calmly:

"I don't know what you're talking about, young lady. You seem to know me, and I feel relatable to see you. But every time I want to think about you, I get a splitting headache, and the more I try to understand something, the more painful it becomes...... Now I'm just a wandering headless horseman, and if we were ever partners, let's treat it as if I never appeared. ”

With that, Paul waved my arm around him, as if intending to go out of the street alone.

"Since you keep the human mind, what about becoming an undead! I just haven't seen you for a while and you have learned to escape us by relying on these!Where is the once reliable and responsible paladin fool, Paul, you coward!"

Coming from behind Paul, Melia's crying roar brought his steps to an unnatural pause.

"I won't give up! Even if I fail this time, it doesn't matter, whether it's ten or a hundred times, I'll come to the Demon Realm! I won't give up until you return to the mainland with me! My fiancé is only one person, it's Paul Van Astrea!"

But he didn't mean to respond, just went on without saying a word.

Just as I watched Melia fall into the arms of Her Highness the Holy Maiden, staring at his back with a pale face—

[Looks like it's messed up, and there's no way to do it if the plan fails, so let's leave.] Maybe that's what the goddess of fate has arranged...... Thank you very much, Lord Eshuin, for arranging to help your subordinates fulfill such an unreasonable wish. ]

After feeling Paul's words from the soul connection, I followed in his footsteps.

I don't know what to say or not.

What just happened, if I saw such a plot in a TV series or comics, I would definitely shout blood.

But when this kind of thing really happens to me, from the perspective of a bystander, although it didn't happen to me, it was something that had nothing to do with my ass, but I felt inexplicably depressed.

…… It should be said.

"You heard her words just now, your fiancée doesn't seem to have given up on you, no matter how many times she will come to the demon world. The matter hasn't been settled yet, is it really okay to leave like this now?"

Paul was stunned for a moment by question, and then he shook his head casually.

“…… Unlike my subordinates, Melia used to be a knight in the Inquisition, handling the shadows for the Holy See, so I understood something early on. But her talent is outstanding, and she was born into a magical family, and she has been loved by everyone in the Magic Council since she was a child, so she will develop a willful character that does not understand the world. But sooner or later, she will become the leading figure on the mainland......"

"When the burden on her body is heavier and more mature, she will forget about your relationship. Are you trying to say that?"

Hearing me say this, Paul first showed a solemn expression, and finally stepped over his shoulders and nodded in acknowledgement.

"Rest assured, Lord Eshuin, our relationship is over. In the future, I will only be your subordinate, and I should have been very busy lately, and when Lord Felicia returns, my subordinate would like to ask her for some advice on how to fight against Lord Raymond. ”

Paul said this casually, and it made me feel as if I had done something sorry for him, and my chest ached.

Since Paul made his own choice, I can't help with anything like this.

If he hadn't met us, he would still be chatting with his fiancée, who likes each other, about the trivial things in life, and he would be a candidate for the next presiding judge, the promising Knight of the Holy See.

But I'm not sorry for killing him and turning him into an undead.

Since he has chosen to fulfill his duty and crusade against the successor of the former King of the Undead, who is the Holy See's number one mortal enemy, under the leadership of Her Highness the Holy Lady, he should be prepared to be killed by the enemy.

It's like an adventurer who dies in a battle in the wilderness, and it's a helpless thing.

They also take the lives of monsters day and night and make a living from them, so they must be mentally prepared to be hunted at any time.

The same is true of the knights and nobles of the Holy See, although the forces of obedience are different, but they collect taxes and donations from the people at the cost of protecting the people, and since there is such a consideration relationship, it is inevitable that they will die because of their position.

This is the rule of the other world.

Now that I'm an undead, I don't feel sorry for killing Paul with strength and strategy, but I'm more proud.

But it's because Paul knows these relationships so well that I feel a little haunted......

This mature and sensible headless horseman is dutifully fulfilling his responsibilities anytime and anywhere. always hurts himself in exchange, and the belief in his heart should never waver.

In the past, I always thought that such a person must be a fool, but now I feel inexplicably admired.

The emotional dispute between the two tsunderes is really troublesome......

"You remember it for me, idiot! Whether it's a few years or decades, I'll keep coming to trouble you until you change your mind, and I won't marry you in this life except you!"

As we approached the alley, Melia seemed to roar out with all her strength.

This did not seem to make Paul waver in any way, and he just calmly left in the direction of the exit of the alley.

After all, it's not my business, and if even Paul himself agrees, I, an outsider, wouldn't say much, and even if he regrets rolling on the floor one day, it doesn't matter to me.

Although I was a little blocked, I would like to invite Paul to a good meal and drink after returning to the hotel.

…… That's right, there is no need to bother with the fight at all from the beginning.

"Hey, that little girl named Melia. If you don't give up, then you may have to stay alive!"

Without hesitation, I grabbed the headless horseman, who didn't speak much, and turned back into the alley.
