Chapter 16: Trumped-up Charges (5)
*
If you look ahead, you can see a very remote shop, and there are no decorations at the door, so you can't tell what it sells.
"Hi ~ anyone?"
Akiko walked to the door and knocked softly.
It was a long time before a voice came.
ββ¦β¦ Here it comes. β
It sounds a lot like the voice of a middle-aged uncle.
When the door opened, a middle-aged man appeared.
"It turned out to be Qiuzi, why did you come so early today?"
"Hello, Uncle Locke, there's something you have to do early."
"Let me guess, it's this little girl's business, right?"
"Well, that's right."
Locke turned his gaze to me and looked closely.
"Hmm...... The way you look, I seem to have seen it somewhere. Let me think about ......"
"Uncle Locke, she'......"
"Don't talk! I'm going to remember...... You're the wanted criminal, right? β
"Huh?! That, that, I'......"
"Hahaha, sure enough. Don't be afraid, I'm not going to take you to them. β
Locke laughed and patted me on the shoulder.
"Uncle Locke is a well-known intelligence agent in the Southern Province, you can ask him if you want to know anything in the future."
"That's right, I know basically everything you want to know."
"yes, I see."
"Uncle Locke, can you help me get her a slightly more civilian dress?"
"Civilian clothes?"
"That's right, Hiko and the young master's clothes don't quite fit Miss Suzuki."
"That's right...... Have you done anything again? β
It's amazing, how did he guess that?
"Well, it's about assassinating Yaoguang."
"Oh? You're finally going to do something to her? β
"Yes, Uncle Locke must keep this matter a secret."
"Don't worry, I promise no second person will know about it."
"Then let's go in first, after all, it will be troublesome for someone else to see Miss Suzuki."
"Well, come on in."
"Excuse me."
When I entered the store, I realized that it was not a clothing store that sold clothes, but a very ordinary grocery store.
How do you buy clothes?
I followed them with doubts.
"Uncle Locke, can you get me clothes?"
"No problem, I'll go and help you find it, you can just sit here for a while."
Locke walked into the inner room.
I guess I'm going to the warehouse.
"Miss Suzuki, are you ready?"
"Prepare what?"
Akiko's sudden question confused me.
"Just now I sensed an unusual increase in the number of soldiers in the neighborhood."
"Huh? Did I say I had already been discovered? β
"It's very likely...... Looks like we're going to have to get out of here quickly......"
"No need to go!"
The door was violently kicked open.
Oops, we should have been betrayed by Locke.
Damn it!
Is this how an informant is in any world?
Appearing at the door were the knightess Yaoguang and her attendants Lily and Lulu.
Unlike yesterday, Lily had several wounds on her body, and her eyes were full of hatred when she looked at me.
Maybe it was because I ran away and was punished by Yaoguang.
"Damn boy! See how I'll clean you up! β
Belch! It's scary!
I subconsciously hid behind Akiko's back.
"I'll just say who has the courage to save you, it turns out that there is Young Master Heyan covering you, but he is not here now, I think there is anyone else who can protect you."
Several people slowly approached us in a situation of surroundment.
"Miss Suzuki, I'll try my best to stop them later, so you can take this opportunity to run quickly."
"But what do you do?"
"Don't worry about me, the young master told me to protect you, and I will definitely protect you."
"If you say that, then I can't leave you behind!"
"What kind of stupid words, let's go, otherwise no one will be able to leave later!"
I, Hiroshi Suzuki, can't do anything to abandon my friends.
Since you want to catch me so much, let's try it!
Even if it kills me, I'm going to take you on the road.
"Miss Suzuki, I'm sorry for me when I see the young master."
"This kind of thing should be left to us when we go back together, and prepare for battle."
"Miss Suzuki, haven't you woken up yet? With my strength, I can't beat them at all, and I can hold them back for a while at most. β
Although Akiko still has a blank face, I can feel her impatience at this time.
"Isn't there still me here?"
"Isn't Miss Suzuki incapable of fighting?"
"I'm still a little confident in my support magic."
"The support magic can only drag them down a little longer at most, and it's not ...... at all."
It seems that she doesn't know my true strength.
I can't help it, just be a little handsome once.
"They're coming, get ready, I'll support you."
"Really! Miss Suzuki, I can't handle what's going on. β
Lily's hatred for me was unusually great, and she rushed at me desperately.
"Die! You stinky kid! β
"If you want to meet Miss Suzuki, please pass me first."
For the first time, I saw Akiko's weaponβa short dagger.
Cut...... I thought it was a shuriken.
"Get out of the way, you paralyzed girl!"
If you want to kill me so much, then I'll send you on your way first!
"O great god of war! Please bless those in front of you! Divine blessings. β
"O great god of wind! Please give swiftness to those in front of you! The whisper of the wind. β
"O great god of water! Please give healing to those in front of you! Surrounded by beads of water. β
I chanted three auxiliary spells in a row, and I raised Akiko's state to the extreme in all aspects.
These three auxiliary spells can directly raise a person from around level forty to level six.
"Oh, it feels so comfortable......"
"How is that possible? What's going on with you? β
Akiko's strength suddenly became much stronger, and she directly bounced Lily away.
"How does it feel?"
"I feel like I'm ...... like the Goddess of Light now."
The power of the gods is not enough, but there is certainly no problem in defeating them.
"Kill that little girl first! She's the hell! β
"Understood!"
"Don't want to walk in front of me!"
Akiko protected me directly behind her.
"Humph! You're the only one who wants to protect her? Wish for the moon! Give it to me, and use force to suppress her. β
"Yes!"
Lily and Lulu rushed to Akiko first, while Yaoguang waited in the rear looking for an opportunity.
Damn it! The number of them is still a bit large, and Akiko may not be able to take care of me when I fight.
I'm going to have to find a little safer......
"Akiko, can you contact Kitano?"
β¦β¦
