If You Got the Power of Flight, Invisibility, and Teleportation, What Would You Do? v3c56

It’s been a while since I’ve come to meet Lululie in front of the castle gate at night.

Armed men walk around the town calmly and caused nothing but incidents everyday. They’re not just making fights, robbery, murder and even rape happens frequently that the knights are becoming tense. A girl can’t walk alone by herself anymore.

The cause of this are the two marquises.

Desire’s noble faction began to extremely spread the event that happened during the audience.

It’s said that it’s a failed Assassination of the King.

It’s said that the ones who attacked Princess Seria is Will Gantt House.

It’s said that the king has decided to make the second prince Desire the next king.

There’s a limit for bullshits. However, the people doesn’t verify it, they can do nothing but make speculation based from rumors. The assassin is thrown by the Misumunto kingdom, or Seria was the aim during the meeting, there are various speculations flying around. I want to plead my innocence with all my power.

That’s why Radom and Will Gantt house are cornered right now. Even if Radom becomes the next king right now, the people’s support won’t be obtained. The matter of Seria’s attack too, aside from the people, Ortiz already knows the truth. Even if that King Ortiz is indecisive, if blamed by public, it won’t be allowed1 If this continues, Desire might really become the next king. It’s impossible to rollback anymore.

After all, everyone is dancing on top of the palm of the pig. I don’t know whether a pig has a palm.

While I was thinking, Lululie came out from the gate.

「Yes, I’m okay. Let’s go back then」

Lululie turned bashful to deceive me. It’s like she’s hiding her worry. Then, I decided to begin to be a meddlesome person.

「Is your body okay already? Are you overworking?」

「No, it’s reassuring that you’re with me. It’s been dangerous recently… But, Ren-san too, please don’t overwork yourself」

Then, while we were talking.

「The princess eats well recently. She even said that her stomach is empty and sneaked snacks todayー」

「Kya, what’s wrong?」

I held Lululie on her shoulder and pulled her closer.

「You noticed?」

We proceed to a relatively bright road. It seems that they don’t intend to attack us when there are people. They might’ve intend to just follow us.

I was wishing for nothing to happen as we pass the houses but it didn’t work.

The two men covered in hood approached us from front and back. I don’t see any weapon but I can’t relax just because the enemy are empty-handed. I stopped Lululie who prepares her magic and asked the pursuer.

「Who’re you guys? What do you need from us」

Then, the one approaching from front answered.

「We can’t reveal our Identity. Sorry but you have to go with us. Don’t resist if you don’t want to get hurt」

It seems that they don’t want discussions. Then, when they came near, I understood their identity.

Their aim is Lululie?

「That’s impossible. It’s my job to guard her after all」

I pulled out a dagger from my waist and attacked them.

They swing down their claws aiming for the arm, I let it pass through like a bullfighter. After kicking it’s running back, I throw him to the second person coming from behind. These two aren’t used to fighting, to the extent that their coordination is in disorder. He retracted his dangerous claws and caught his partner.

Aiming at the gap I created, another claw approached. I warded it of at the last minute by turning my dagger to a shield. The dagger is torn like the same time with Misha, I got a laceration on my arm but I can still fight.

「Roger」

The one with damaged legs shouted to recover, the two attacked again.

「Lululie, go back」

While diverting the nails coming with my right arm, I dodge the summersault aiming for my legs. When I put a feint towards the face, they stopped to protect their arms. AS expected they’re not used to fighting.

We have another person here.

「Dance with the wind spirits. Reveal your power according to my covenant. Turn and turn, rampaging violent wind. Swallow everything and send them home whirlwind. Eliminate this rubbish with pure windー. Ren-san, please go back!

We’ve decided this when we signed the guard contract. If I lack in decisive hit, if something happened that confined me, Lululie would finish it with her spirit magic. If it’s impossible, then the two of us would run away.

Then, Lululie’s magic activated.

「Whirling Violent Wind (Vortex)[The furigana is this ウェルテクス]」

Along with her shout, wind swirl around the beasts that fell down. The wind increased in a moment then it extended to the sky while being dyed by the rolling sand. Despite it being a separate location, the storm was to the degree that it carried the bodies hard. The two of them are taken away by the storm, they flew several meters to the sky while revolving intensely.

「Oo~ They flew~」

It’s a very merciless power. They got swallowed up was beaten down by the sand taken together, they hit the ground and lost their sense of balance. I won’t be saved by that at least.2

When we looked at them, the beast men aren’t dead as expected. But their bodies have wounds here and there, they can barely move, let alone fight. I haven’t decided what to do after this, for the time being, let’s bind them properly.

「Ren-san, are you okay?」

After restraining the two people, Lululie ran. As expected having her use this magic would tire her, she’s breathing heavily.

「Yeah, thanks. Nice timing. What about Lululie, Are you okay?」

「Rather than that, Ren-san, we need to treat your wounds」

Lululie take out a towel from her bag and wrapped the wound on my arm. Treatment is difficult before long.

「Lion, why are you here?」

The blonde handsome knight appeared gallantly. His appearance is shining pointlessly.

I wonder why. Even though he came late, he turned to be the main character in an instant. The atmosphere turned to be a beautiful girl being attacked by thugs was saved by the Hero Lion. The onlookers who just came recognize it like that at least. I’m just a villager a that got involved.

「That’s…」

Lululie looked at me asking for help. Tempted, Lion looked at my place and finally noticed my existence. He frowned as if I’m a suspicious person.

「Who’re you?」

Who do you think you are? If he wasn’t aware, I wish that he didn’t notice me eternally. Because seeing you makes my scar hurt.

「I’m Ren. When I was guarding Luluie, this guys attacked us. Then, Lululie cooperated with me to take them down」

「Yes, that’s right」

Hey, why did you bother confirming it with Lululie.

「Is that so? You’re injured. I’m going to use recovery magic so don’t move」

Lion casted healing magic and the wound on my body was healed. This knight seems to be good at recovery magic. It’s a guy that has no gaps.

「Will you allow me to hear the circumstances? Lululie-dono too」

「No, we really can’t do it here, at least on a nearby station…」

「…Yes, It’s fine」

Then I was interrogated and they began investigating.

◆

In the room of the station, I’m facing Lion.

「Do you have an idea on who else is being targetted?」

「There’s another person interrogating them but they’re silent. It seems that magic was used to make them unable to」

「I just thought that you may know something. Really, anything’s fine. Their aim and identity, is there anything coming in your mind?」

It’s already been two hours since the interrogation began. I kept sticking to ‘I don’t know’ but Lion doesn’t seem to give up easily. When I glanced to the poster stuck on the wall, this guy is doubting that I’m a fugitive. That’s right motherfucker.

He can’t ask directly because he has no evidence. But, if they used a lie detecting magic, I can’t dodge it. Just like what Seria did.

However, I’m troubled. I want to return earlier but this guy doesn’t seem to let me go. Also, if my true colors come to light, I have no choice but to give up Lululie and run away. I don’t want that.

「Really? we’re the victims you know. We’ve been restrained for a long time at night, what are you thinking?

Lululie pressed angrily. Lion raised his hand as he was overwhelmed.

「This is to prevent you from being attacked again…」

「Errr, you see…」

Lion’s glance swim around. As expected he can’t say that he’s suspecting me being the assassin.

Lion is now wondering what to do. If I’m the assassin, he can’t afford to let me go. But, he needs a reason to restrain me further than this.

However, it’s also pitiful for Lululie to stay longer than this. Let’s put blame and go home.

「Hey, it’s already late at night so can we continue tomorrow? I’m also worried if Lululie’s house is safe」

Misha is there so it’s fine, but I can’t be certain. It’s my real intention to go home sooner and confirm their safety.

Feeling unpleasant, Lululie turned back.

「Why are you following us?」

「No thanks. If there’s something I’ll go on my own so please go back」

「I told you I’m fine. In the first place, I don’t trust you knights. Specially I don’t intend to show my house to a man like you」

After Lululie drive Lion away, she’s been thinking about something. It seems that she’s in trouble so much that she forgot to hum like usual on the bath.

「…Ren-san, what do you think of Lion?」3
