Outside the alley, the ghost carriage ran over the stone slabs with a loud noise. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Lord Esthein, the Temple of the Holy Maiden...... Cecilia and Melia had already followed their men out of the alley. If there is an accident in the plan of the meeting, I hope you can open the net and let your subordinates negotiate with them. ”

"Well, no problem. But Paul, where are you from, we just stared down the alley, why didn't we see you?"

Although I thought about it in my heart, I guess I wouldn't say it if I couldn't beat this kind of morale.

Looking at Paul, who was crouching behind the trash can in the corner with us and observing the bustling street, I wondered where he came from.

After all, although I've been chatting with Soquet, I've never let my guard down.

It stands to reason that there is not much space in the alley, and as long as someone comes in, we should be able to notice it from this location.

In response to my question, Paul pointed with his index finger in the direction above his head.

"When my subordinates entered the alley, they moved to the rooftop, and Master Spandam had taught me that good undead should keep a low profile at all times, and that walking on the roof would be a good way for others to avoid the sight. ”

“…… The roof of this alley is more than ten meters high, and it is surrounded by smooth stone walls, can you fly?"

I looked in the direction Paul was pointing, and there were buildings that were three stories high.

What's more, let's not talk about how to get up, if he jumped from the roof just now, he shouldn't have fallen to the ground when he appeared.

But Spandam, as I guessed, can be beaten miserably even in a novice town like White Oak, and the reason why the Waste Sword likes to walk on the roof is probably because it has too many enemies.

Although I don't know, and I don't want to know what its life creed is, I really hope it doesn't teach randomly.

"It's not because of the ability to fly, it's just that through the battle in the arena during this time, coupled with the sword skills taught by Master Spandam before, my subordinates seem to feel new powers......"

"Shhh Paul, you'll talk about that later, the target is almost there. ”

Signaling to Paul, who was listening with relish and about to say something, to quiet down, I observed the people who had snuck into the alley.

There-

"Now, Melia, we seem to have lost it. Could it be that Paul is aware of our movements, he has been trained by Uncle Pyros since he was a child, and he is very sensitive to tracking, and if he wants to avoid us, he will not be able to catch up again. ”

"No, if he senses that we're going to make it clear, that idiot is that. ”

Two characters whose faces were not visible under the cloaks, but who exuded the aura of the inferior undead, walked into the alley.

The figure in front of him said firmly, while walking firmly towards the alley.

"What's wrong, is it nervous?"

"It's been so long since I've seen him and I'm still a self-righteous guy, and it's really ...... to die for such a woman It would be a lie to say that I didn't feel that way, but rest assured, Lord Eshon, I know who I am. ”

Without paying much attention to what I said, Paul just held his head and froze in place.

I don't know if it's natural or nurture, but Paul seems to have always put responsibility first.

It should be said that even when he saw the partner he once cherished the most and the object he loved so much that he could sacrifice himself, he always treated it calmly as if he were dealing with other people's affairs, and never showed that he cared.

Although it is nice to have such a reliable partner, but ......

Since this is his own choice, it is difficult for others to say much.

"Just stop them later, and remember to act in pain and hold your head when you see Melia. I'll leave the rest to me, and if the plan goes well, maybe your relationship will end peacefully. ”

"That's the best, and I'm grateful for doing this for your subordinates, no matter what the outcome, Lord Eshuin. ”

Paul sighed helplessly, and then said nothing.

"Next, it depends on the true colors of those people, ordinary characters can't fool them at all, and this unprofessional plan is just running errands, Sokite, those orc gangsters you found are really reliable, right?"

"No problem, Lord Eshuin, those are already the most famous members of the group for their idleness. ”

After hearing my words, the corners of Sokite's mouth raised slightly, and he nodded in reply.

Although it doesn't seem like something to be proud of, it's a good thing that he's so confident.

But then again.

"Soquet, listen up, Paul's fiancée and another character are usually characters who can't get in touch with ordinary people, and they shouldn't know how to deal with ordinary hooligans, so your subordinates may be beaten, this matter is ....."

Don't let them leak out.

――Just as I was about to say this, I was only halfway through my sentence.

"Well, big brother, we were bumped into by someone else. Hey, you're all right, it's best if you don't see anything, and quit honestly, otherwise don't blame us for being polite. ”

The attention of Melia and Her Highness the Holy Maiden, who was about to head deeper into the alley, was attracted by the direction of the sound.

As these words were spoken, several strong orcs silently blocked their path.

"Wait, sister passing by, run quickly, those people are the gangsters in the neighborhood, you can't deal with them! Please go to the street and ask the members of the city security team to come and save me! Hmm, you let me go!"

Then, from the corner of the alley, Nia's anxious voice was heard.

"Hmph, get out of here if you know each other, don't disturb our boss's interest. Oh, and if you dare to go to the guards....."

As he said viciously, a burly orc blocking the road licked the dagger in his hand as if threatening.

It is worthy of being a professional gangster in the thief group, and unlike the sense of disobedience that we were respectful to just now, once we return to this ordinary occasion, we can immediately return to the state, and everyone's expression is very professional.

The ruffian spirit cultivated by the perennial thief group is paired with skilled lines, and in a word, it is frivolous.

But licking the weapon is a bit ...... At this time, I want to play with the poisonous stalk on the knife......

No, it's a very serious occasion now, and it's really hopeless to think about these messes at this time.

"Don't you feel ashamed that so many of you men bully such a little girl......!"

After hearing Nia's plea for help, the figure walking behind looked into the alley, and not to be outdone, strode forward and argued.

That's when --

"Cecilia, that little girl is right, we are no match for these orcs. Besides, if we fight hard now, it's very likely that we won't be able to run, so let's leave first and inform the guards!"

Melia, who was behind her, grabbed the sleeve of Her Highness the Holy Maiden, as if she wanted to retreat.

Eh, the top genius of the younger generation in the mainland, will a few gangsters be afraid......

"This script is not right, Paul, your fiancée seems to have a little different information from what you said, [the most unacceptable provocation of others, even the thugs will go all out], isn't this over-rational. ”

“…… The subordinates don't know very well, but Melia a few months ago was exactly what the subordinates said. ”

Hearing me say this, Paul also had a puzzled look on his face.

Her Highness treated the weak as expected, but it was a little wrong for Melia to endure such an occasion.

It doesn't look like a fake, and Paul doesn't have to lie to me, it's that Melia has changed herself.

Considering that if she started a battle, she might expose her human identity, and now she chose to retreat is indeed the most correct choice, does it mean that she fell into self-blame for killing Paul.

Not only us, but Her Highness also looked at her in disbelief.

"Melia, what are you talking about, how can you see death in the face of people in distress! That child is only an orc, not an undead, don't you know what will happen to her if we leave now!"

After being reprimanded by her companions, Melia looked at Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden blankly for a short time, and sighed helplessly.

"Alas, Cecilia you...... Okay, I see. You guys, before I make a move, if you don't want to die, get out. ”

She lifted the cloak that covered her face, and raised her staff with a fierce look in her eyes.
