Chapter 16: Trumped-up Charges (2)

*

"Who are you?"

"Did the beautiful young lady say that you have forgotten me?"

Oh! I remembered that it was the man I met on the black market.

"You didn't tell me your name at the time."

"Is that so...... Then allow me to introduce myself one more time, my name is Kazuhiko Kitano. ”

"Kitano, huh? Can you please save me? ”

"Of course it's fine, because I'm here to save you."

"Can you help me find another piece of clothing? I'm a little bad right now......"

"No problem, I'm ready."

Hey? Could it be that he had expected this?

I saw Kitano gently open the window and turn in.

A little different from what I saw him in the afternoon, he changed into a black coat.

"The man is taking a shower in it."

I pointed in the direction the sound of water was coming from.

"Don't make a sound, I'll untie the rope for you."

"Well, please."

He crept towards the bed, visibly stunned for a few seconds when he saw me like this.

"What are you looking at?"

Can't you be a little more reliable at such a critical time?

"I'm sorry, but I ...... if I wasn't careful"

"Hurry up and help me untie it, or she'll come out."

"I see, I know."

He helped me untie the rope slowly, looking at me unintentionally.

Well, I feel like I can understand why the girls hate the boys staring at them.

"Give me your clothes."

“…… Oh. ”

He took a maid's suit from his coat and gave it to me.

"Huh? What is it? ”

"Clothes."

"Why a maid suit?"

I could never have imagined that he would hand me a maid's suit.

"That's the only thing I can find around."

“…… It can't be your kinky interest, right? ”

"No, no, absolutely not! I can swear to the goddess of light. ”

"Okay, I'll trust you once."

Looking at him, it didn't look like he was lying, so I chose to believe him once.

In the past, I would never have worn such a shameful outfit, but now I really have no choice but to wear it. And I'm also a little Lori now, so it's not too strange to wear this.

"Pretty good for you."

"I wouldn't be happy even if you said that."

The sound of the water suddenly stopped.

There was a sound of movement inside.

"Oops, she's coming out, let's run."

"Well, follow me."

I climbed out of the window after Kitano.

Fortunately, it is on the first floor, otherwise I don't know how to escape.

However, things are not as simple as I thought.

— because we're in a military base right now.

"Here?"

"The largest military base in the Southern Province - Lotus Fortress."

"And how are we going to get out of here?!"

"Don't worry, I'll take you out."

"Really?"

"Trust me."

I expressed some concern about his abilities.

"Ah—————— where did you go?"

Lily's roar was heard from the house behind her.

"She seems to have noticed that I was gone."

"We're going to move faster, you have to follow me."

"Hmm."

The soldiers patrolling in the distance heard Lily's roar and immediately swarmed over.

"Lily-sama, what's going on?"

"Lily-sama, are you alright?"

"Go after it! That little girl ran away! ”

"Huh? How did they run away? ”

"It must have been her accomplices who came to her rescue! Go ahead and get them all back! ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers hurriedly organized the capture in the camp.

"What are you doing? Keep up with me! ”

"Oh! Sorry for being distracted a little......"

"Quick, let's run before they come."

"Okay."

I followed Kitano around the camp.

Knock knock knock———

Soldiers rang the alarm bell in the fortress.

More soldiers scurried out of their tents.

The shouts around us also increased, and it was only a matter of time before we ran into soldiers like this.

"Aren't we feeling bad right now?"

"Hold on a little longer, and I'll have my partner in front of me."

"Really? How many people are there? ”

So there's support! I said it earlier, I was worried in vain.

"Just two people."

"Then let's run!"

The speed that had just been lowered couldn't help but go up again.

How can two people deal with so many soldiers!

"Don't be afraid, they're amazing."

"I'm not scared at all, I just want to get out of here quickly."

"Really......"

I hope I don't run into soldiers......

"Stop! Who are you? ”

Saying that I didn't want to meet the result and really met it, how bad was my luck......

"I'm Hikozu Kitano, and I just talked to your commander."

Kitano chatted with the soldiers without panic.

"It turned out to be Yan and Young Master, it's rude."

Hikowa ...... Master? Could it be that he is still the young master of some noble family?

The soldiers gathered their guards and leaned forward relaxedly.

"Did something happen?"

"That's right, one of the prisoners caught today has escaped, and Lord Lily has ordered us to arrest her."

"That's really scary, I hope you can catch her soon."

"That's inevitable...... Wait, Hiko and Young Master, she's ......"

The soldiers turned their attention to me, who had been hiding behind Hikowa.

"Huh? She, she is my maid, who usually takes care of my daily life, and came with me today. ”

Hikowa hurriedly explained to me.

"No, she seems to be ......"

The soldier leaned over to me and looked at me carefully.

No way...... Did he say he recognized me?

What to do? What to do?

Out of my eye, I saw Kitano's hand quietly reach for the saber hanging from his waist.

Is there a fight......

"Ah, I thought she was the hotel hostess I met last time, and she really looked like her."

Call...... It's so dangerous......

"Oh, that's a coincidence."

Hikowa put his hand back away.

"Yan and Young Master, then I won't talk to you more, if I am found to be lazy later, I will definitely be scolded."

"Well, then I'll take my leave."

Hikowa calmly pulled me and walked outside.

"Kitano, you ......"

"Don't ask, I'll tell you later."

Also, this is really not the place to talk.

In this way, we walked outside the camp in the open, and the soldiers passing by greeted Kitano from time to time.

It seems that Kitano's background must not be simple.

And just like that, we walked out of the camp with such ease, so easy that I couldn't have imagined it would be so easy.

"I'll take you to our base camp."

"Base camp? Who the hell are you? ”

"I'll tell you later. Akiko, Haruko, come out. ”
