22. Magic Swordsman and Black Organization [5] – part 1

It was around the time Allen parted ways with Ria and Rose and headed to Rocky Store alone.

Three people who had been observing Allen from far away using binoculars, started to move.

「Yes, yes! Target is now alone! The princess who shouldn't be harmed, is no longer present!」

「Haa… finally, mou… I was getting tired, mou…」

「Let's kill him quickly and go home. I have to prepare for the next job.」

The three are female swordsmen who were requested by a certain source to assassinate Allen.

These three women who carry out assassinations for a living, are dwellers of the underground society.

They are first-rate swordsmen whose abilities are rumored to be「Five Academy Representative Level」.

「Roger!」

「You don't have to reply to every single thing, mou… We've decided to kill him quickly, mou…」

「Let's begin then.」

The three were hiding in a dense forest.

The moment they descended from a tall tree to「Swiftly kill Allen」.

「Fumu… as expected of Leisama. While her head is a great disappointment, her『intuition』is a cut above the rest when it matters.」

A man wearing a silk hat and holding a flashy white and black stick suddenly appeared.

Prisoner number 0018 – No.18 who was ordered by Leia to guard Allen.

「HHaaaa? Who are you, ossan? And, don't look at me with that perverted look. It feels disgusting.」

「Uwaaa… how troublesome, mou… So gross, let's just kill him already, mou…」

「We won't attract any attention here, and above all, we don't have much time… It can't be helped, let's kill him.」

Other than their target – the women do not possess villainous aesthetics that would drag in the general public.

However, any obstacle to their work is simply gotten rid of immediately without hesitation.

In front of the three female swordsmen who gave off an intense bloodlust - No.18 looked at their faces, bodies, and clothes.

「Haa… It's like you don't understand anything…」No.18 sighed.

The three of them all had very well-endowed features, although they were of different lineages.

Distinctive facial features.

Innocent child-like features from their teenage years.

A dignified feature reminiscent of a famous sword.

Their style is perfect, and the outfits they wear were sensational with a lot of exposure.

If it was an ordinary man were to see these three beautiful lovely women, he'd think「Ah, it's a lovely day today」.

However – No. 18 was severely disappointed.

He had an indescribable bitter expression – as though witnessing dominoes that have been built up for many years collapsing due to a foolish mistake.

「Grovel – 〈Cajon King〉!」

「Devour, mou – 〈Grand Eater〉!」

「Slumber in midwinter – 〈Permafrost〉!」

The『pressure』of hopelessness bore down on No.18.

In front of a spectacle, where an ordinary swordsman would faint – He messaged his prided handlebar moustache.

「I see… All three of you are soul dress users?」

No-18 widened his eyes momentarily,

「For Allen-dono, who has not yet been able to handle his oversized power… you three might have been a little too much to handle.」

No-18 was very calm, there was composure on his face.

「Hey! I wonder what kind of sound you make when you cry!?」

「Die cleanly, mou… If you spurt out blood, I'll beat you to death, mou…」

「At the very least, I'll grant you a quick painless death.」

Three female swordsmen wielded their soul dress, and the curtain opened on the battle to the death.

A mere one minute later.

「Im-Impossible…」

「What… even… mou…」

「N-No way…!?」

The three female swordsmen were groveling on the ground.

The shock of having their soul dress broken, made their consciousness hazy.

On the other hand, No. 18 did not break a sweat, let alone a scratch.

He clearly showed off the difference in power that couldn't be matched.

「You three have great materials and yet – you don't understand anything」

His gaze was directed at the clothes of the three.

「Those clothes - such a stupid design based on the premise that you will be seen… Oh, how deplorable… We will decide it here.」

He slowly started talking.

「『Being seen by people is what I want』, that by itself is not what I'm condemning. It is the taste of gentlemen and ladies who care about their appearance, and those are quite fine. -But! If you lose too much『shame』and normalize being seen…… That will be the end of it all.」

There was a hint of sadness on the face of No.18, as he quietly shook his head.

「You, who get drunk on being seen, who choose to『show』… to put it simply,『unnatural』!」

And then he brought his argument to the conclusion.

「『Natural』- is a woman who doesn't notice being peeked at, her natural expression, her minor habits, and the extreme embarrassment at the moment when the peep is discovered! When all these come together in perfect harmony – a beauty is born!」

No.18 looked at the clothes of the three women once at the end.

The emphasized chest, the skirt which can easily flip up, and the stomach exposed without hesitation.

Everything goes against his『aesthetics』.

「You who choose to show and have lost your shame – are not even worth peeping.」

Speaking cheerfully about his『aesthetics』, he contacted his master, Leia, and reported the incident in detail.

After successfully delivering the wheat to the Rocky Store, I headed to the clock tower of the meeting place.

Rose stood absent-mindedly there.

She also noticed me, and raised her right hand slightly.

「Allen, over here,」

「Rose, how is Sandy-san's condition?」

「She's all right now. She strained her back, so she just needs to rest for a while.」

「I see. Thank goodness…」

I'm really glad it wasn't anything critical.

「Which reminds me, where is Ria?」

「Still at the hospital. She said『we can't leave Sandy-san alone while she's still recovering』」

「I see… how Rilike.」

Such considerations are one of her greatest virtues.

「Well, shall we go?」

「Aa, I'll follow your lead.」

「Un, this way.」

Then we headed to the hospital where Ria and Sandy-san were waiting.

The hospital was only three minutes from the clock tower.

After completing a simple procedure at the reception desk, we turned towards Sandy-san's room.

Her room was a shared room for four people.

「I'm back. How do you feel, Sandy-san?」

「Oo, Allen-kun… I'm really sorry for troubling you… I am somewhat fine thanks to you, so thank you.」

「No, please don't worry. And – here, the money from delivering the wheat.」

And I handed her the small leather bag.

「Oh my…! I'm really thankful for everything…」

「No, this is also an extension of the job.」

Finally, after finished summarizing, I whispered to Ria.

「Thank you, Ria.」

「Uun, this much is no problem.」

She laughed gently, saying so.

After that, as we were about to leave the hospital, Sandy-san spoke.

「Come to think of it… What are you going to do now? Since you're in Drestia at this time of year, why don't you enjoy the annual Daido Commercial Festival? 」

「Yes. That is what we planned to do.」

「Oh, is that right? Then rent a yukata! It's a festival after all, and wearing the school uniform is a little unfitting… So, how about it?」

And then,

「Yukta…?」

「It's like a traditional outfit in this country.」

As Ria tilted her head, Rose immediately added an explanation.

Ria, the princess of neighbouring country, Vesteria, doesn't seem to know about yukata.

「Yukata huh…」

I never thought about it.

I worried about what to do and looked at Ria and Rose.

「…I- I'd like to try wearing it.」

「Un, uniform is a little conspicuous.」

……Certainly, there was a point in what Rose said.

This time, we're really pushing the boundary of suspension with this『request』…So, the thought of being recognised is quite stressful.

There would be nothing better than to enjoy the festival as much as possible together.

Thus, a normal yukata is surely a better choice than the uniform of the famous Thousand Blade Academy.

「Right… We're going to a festival after all, so I would like to rent a yukata.」

「In that case, there is a good shop in front of this hospital!『Yukata Rental Main Store』, a long-established store that has been around since I was young. All the people in the store are nice people too.」

「Oh, is that so? Then, we'll drop by there.」

This information is really helpful.

It's more reassuring to have a shop introduced to you than a shop you're going to for the first time.

「Well then, Sandy-san. Let's meet again sometime.」

「I hope your back recovers soon!」

「See you.」

「Aa, thanks. Everyone, take care.」

Then, we parted with Sandy-san and left the hospital.
