6 Years Old – Q of Hearts (Part 2)

The second guard fell to the ground without a sound Protruding fro across his clothing

“Wha-!”

Royce-sauard I stepped out in front of Royce-sauards should be here any ”

While suppressing the terror that rose up in uard cut in In that instant, I recognised this man as an enemy Grasped in his hand was a knife just like the one protruding frouard; he’s a villain ai for Royce-sama!

“All of them are probably already dead, you know”

The villain smiled inappropriately

“Royce-saain, the villain cut off my words This time not ords, but with an attack I iic If there’s only one of theet away somehow

However, that faint hope of mine easily disappeared with the appearance of the villain’s co In total there were five of theuy with the blade, there were six Probably because they had defeated the guards in hiding, a nuht have been uards as well Three six year old children, versus a total of six of these villains We were at an overwhele For soroup in the world outside this drea before my eyes?

If I die here, would I wake up froot stabbed just a little?

…As if, right?…

I laughed dryly atmyself with the idea that this is a dream after all this time If I’ without being able to return to being a high schooler… Without having protected Royce-sa my eyes all this time, but somewhere inaway This world… andabout them properly

I mean… if I didn’t think of this world as a dreas that I couldn’t accept, after all… I want to see my parents, I want to see o hos however I wanted, but if it was a real then I couldn’t just have fun without thinking, right?

…I …don’t want that…

“Camille!”

At Achille’s voice, my consciousness kicked back in And at the same time, I felt a pain in my left arm The villain’s blade had cut apart ic Being iht now I had to let Royce-sama, and while I was at it, Achille, escape safely… Of course, I planned on returning alive as well

“Get away from us!”

I immediately let out a wind attack fro A few coht now the ic I could use were liht erous With asome distance between us

I iic that called for aid Countless butterflies flew out froht It’s the most coet into contact with my father immediately Father[/Otousa ic at the villains without rest

“Caic besides the one just now?”

Achille’s quiet voice reached , wood, …I can use a bunch, but their power is only the sa because I was sticking to attacking I can just buy tiht be able to buy tien concentration…”

I focusedthe barrier into a doic to manipulate the atmosphere was difficult so concentration was required The villains had probably noticed that the oxygen had thinned, because unrest ran through them But it wasn’t perfect If they went out of the area that I designated, then they could breathe in as en as they wanted We were still at the end of the e area without getting bystanders involved

“It’s alright, I’ll help”

Suddenly, I felt the flow of mana from Achille

“Achille?”

“I learned a little froic, after all”

When did he…? He’s never ht? Or more like, Achille wasn’t a character who could just easily fire off aic acadeic Rather than learningicalh studies Was it because this was a situation he didn’t expect?

Achille placed a barrier around the villains With this, they wouldn’t be able to escape froen area The fact that en completely made the situation harsh for us The villains who had underestiasped at the lack of oxygen Three of therateful that sost the villains was one who lightly waved his hand, and the ic was cancelled It seeroup He spoke in a displeased voice

“What a conceited brat”

While Achille’s barrier ic still held, I took out a paintbrush froic My siic I ca it was inferior to a normal broom, but it was still fast I filled the pseudo-broom with my mana and set a location for it to automatically head to

“Royce-saet on It will take you directly to the castle!”

At least he as the prince needed to get away However, Royce-sama refused in a loud voice that he had never used before

“No! Are you telling et is you Hurry and get on!”

Following that, Achille’s ic they couldn’t easily come near us, but the villains were free to move now Because of that, one of the knives they threw bounced off my barrier, and another person’s arrow stuck into it Fro to dispel my barrier We were done for

“Royce-saed to attack ic, and fired off some ice However, because it was as sht of a hailball While I ic With Royce-sama in the middle, I was in front, Achille was behind, and the two of us fired off ic dispelledoff ice to the limits of ic By noas just aabout how I looked It felt like there was rock, or wood, orabout that At any rate, I just fired stuff off at the razed s too …But despite that, Royce-saician let off some purple smoke… It was probably poison I’m already super at my lied froas I wonder if this gas is inflah I said I would protect Royce-sa I do is half-baked I could feel Achilleexploded near us, and an unmanned stall flew into two of the thata knife leapt towards us

“Stay awayy!”

I turned a ball of flah the flah my stomach My vision turned white from the pain――――

“UWAHHHH”
