In the corner of a dark alley. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Hey, stop-what are you doing! This is the center of Rixel's city, the city security team will be here soon, if you don't want to eat in jail, go quickly!"

"Alas, you can't even remember who you are, but you kid still like to take care of these useless things. ”

We walked out of the corner a second before the Scar Orc nearly betrayed our place.

Stopped by Paul's angry shouts were Melia, who had completely abandoned the dignity of a mage and was ready to coerce the local thugs with her fists, and Cecilia, the Holy See Holy Lady who was her accomplice, with a bewildered face.

When she saw Paul appear, Melia put away her fists and looked at him calmly and said:

"Hmph, it's such a rudimentary trick. I've become a hero in the arena after only a few months, do you think finding a few local ruffians to interfere with us will make Cecilia and me retreat?"

"Eh, Paul found these ruffians, Melia, what are you talking about?"

As if she didn't understand her companion's words, Her Highness looked suspiciously at Melia, who swore the truth.

“…… We should have met for the first time, I don't know what you're talking about. ”

"You found these hooligans, and since you chose to come forward to save them, are you ready to make it clear to us, right?"

Ignoring Paul's explanation, Melia seems to have decided on the matter.

Hearing her words, Paul, who wanted to continue to say something, was speechless.

…… But this line.

Since we can say bluntly that this group of orc gangsters was found by us, could it be that there is a mistake in some link that makes Melia already find out that we are acting?

But we were observing the whole process, except for the casual look of the orc at the end, there should be no mistakes.

That kind of mistake shouldn't be revealed, does that mean......

[What a troublesome fellow, Paul, don't rush to admit it yet.] He clutched his head in a pretended to be in pain, and said something like he felt familiar. After that, I'll leave it to me, so be quiet for a while.]

Feeling the words I had passed from the soul connection, Paul was stunned and soon began to do so.

"My head hurts, something is going to appear...... I—I seem to know them, they're very important people. No, I don't know strangers at all, so I can't remember......"

"Paul, Paul, what's wrong with you!"

Seeing the familiar figure kneeling on the floor in pain, Melia, who was full of confidence not long ago, suddenly panicked.

This guy is really pretending!

I took advantage of the gap to go up to Paul and ask Melia.

"Stop, what did you do to Paul! This guy only knows his name since we met, and while you seem to know him, you'd better tell where you came from, or don't blame me for doing it. ”

"Eh, what do you mean by companion. Then again, how can there be a skeleton soldier?"

After hearing me say this, with a look of surprise that didn't look like it was pretending at all, Melia said curiously, as if she had just discovered my existence, which made people feel angry.

Why, I came out of the corner with Paul, and no matter how low my sense of existence is, it is impossible not to see me!

What to do, even though it's Paul's fiancée, I seem to beat her.

…… No, slowly. Now is not the time to dwell on these things, there are more important things than this.

"Before asking someone's name, it's common sense to report your own name. But anyway, Paul was the Headless Horseman I met a few months ago on a crusade near the Forest of the Dead, and I rescued him when he was dying in the forest. When he woke up, he didn't remember anything about himself at all, except for his name. As for my name, it is ......"

I was about to say my name when it occurred to me.

In front of us are the sacrificial saints of the Holy See of Light, and the precious granddaughters of the rulers of the Council of Mages.

As far as the identity of the undead is concerned, exposing his true name to the two people who are destined to become the future rulers of the human continent is completely disgusted with not living long enough and killing himself.

Case......

"My name is Baldel!One of the oldest mercenaries in the whole of Lixel!Paul's current partner, although this guy has no memory, but he has excellent strength, so let him temporarily earn living expenses as a mercenary. You seem to know who he is. ”

"I'm sorry senior, thank you for saving him. We are former partners......"

Upon hearing my words, Melia bowed down and apologized, and explained the ambiguous answer in a skeptical manner.

It's really cautious, I guess I haven't believed our words.

"Anyway, do you think I'll agree with the idea that it's just a partner? Look at Paul's painful face right now, even though he doesn't know your relationship. But he's just a mercenary now, and if he can't come up with a specific relationship, don't disturb his life. ”

“…… But, but. ”

I pointed to Paul, who was pretending to be in great pain, and motioned for Melia to look over.

Seeing Paul's distressed appearance, Melia showed a dilemma and thought about it for a while, although it seemed like she was about to cry, she still stubbornly bit her lip, unwilling to tell her identity.

As the leader of the younger generation in Patrick's continent, the line between emotions and what should be done is clearly delineated.

After all, they're still in the Demon Realm.

Even if I seemed familiar with Paul, and even if I were an undead skeleton, it would be impossible for them to easily reveal their identities to the undead.

"The next time we see such behavior, we won't be so lucky, it's none of your business here. Get out of here. ”

"Clear, understood. We don't dare. ”

Looking at Melia and the thoughtful Saintess in a state of confusion, I gestured to the leading orc thug and asked him to escape from the alley with his men.

After receiving the signal, the orcs, who were stunned in place and did not dare to move, hurriedly dispersed.

…… Flirting with two human girls can be beaten so badly, it's really worried about the city's hooligan industry.

"I don't know about your relationship in the past, but since Paul is so powerful, you won't be a simple person. Now he's just a headless horseman with his head on his waist. If you really are his partner, a partner who makes him miserable even thinking of you, it's best not to disturb his life anymore. ”

After saying that, I don't plan to pay any more attention to Melia in deep thought.

It's impossible to know for sure what they'll do next, but it's best if it makes it clear to them about their identity and ethnicity.

After holding Paul up with his right hand on his shoulder, I led him out in the direction of the exit of the alley.

Sensing that Melia didn't seem to mean to stop us, Paul's head, which was held in a flank position, whispered, "Thank you." ”

At this time.

"Now, Melia. The Mr. Skeleton Soldier was right, if Paul had really lost his memory...... Let's go back and calm down. Also, what do you mean by Paul that the gangsters you just said were found by Paul......?"

Behind us, the words of Her Highness came as if to comfort her.

I don't know why, but I suddenly felt that something unexpected was going to happen, and I couldn't help but turn my head to look at the two of them.

“…… Cecilia, what are you talking about!?"

"Well, no, I just think we should go back to the inn and calm down first. Ah, don't shake it, I see, and, besides, the group of orcs who coerced the little orc girl were found by Paul?"

"That's right, that's it!"

Her Highness, who couldn't stand Melia's shaking of her shoulders, said in confusion what she had just said.

Wait!

"Hey, Paul, you bastard, don't go! You don't actually have amnesia at all!Ah, I was almost deceived by you two bastards, and you dared to find someone to partner up to deceive us!"

Melia seemed to have noticed something, and shouted angrily at us as we approached the exit of the alley.
