Magic Swordsman and Black Organization [7] – part 2

As I politely refused,

「You see.『Always pay your debt』is my creed. Even if you’re good, I’m not.」

Rize-san shut my mouth with her slender index finger.

「That’s right… Yeah, let’s do this. If Allen is in trouble in the future, please come to my house. I’ll help you just once at anytime.」

「At any time…?」

「Aa, that’s right. You can come at any time.」

At any time, I can get the support of one of the Five Wealthy Merchants once.

(I obtained an incredible right…)

Five Wealthy Merchants is an authority of this country, along with the directors of Five Academy. Although it’s only once, but to be able to borrow her power… It’s one hell of a trump card.

Then Rize-san whispered in my ear.

「And unlike my sister… I’m quite worried about you.」

「…! To be concerned about someone like me, how should I say…」

To have such an excellent soul-dress user worrying about me… Honestly, I’m a little happy.

(…Oh yeah, I can use the right to borrow her power to help me with my training!)

I have no intention of begging for money or expensive things with this right. I don’t need that much money. I only want to live a modest life with my mother – if I have the least amount of money for that, that’s fine.

There is nothing special I want either. If there was something I wanted, then it would be a new sword. So, after all – isn’t it best to use that right for training?

「Aa, mou! I really can’t get enough of your honest expressions…!」she said, and licked her lips..

And then,

「Excuse me, you’re troubling Allen…!」

「Don’t go closer than that…!」

Ria and Rose, who had been listening quietly from a while ago, suddenly jumped in front of me simultaneously.

「Oh my, you girls have quite the stiff guard…」Rize-san laughed, and moved back a step.

And when the peaceful conversation ended, she narrowed her eyes and gave me a piece of advice.

「Maa, I’m not trying to intimidate you, but… you guys should think about your safety a little bit from now on, alright? The black cloaked group just now was the『Black Organization』that’s been stirring up a fuss among the public.」

「…So, it was them.」

I thought that it「might be」judging from their distinctive outfit, but to think it actually was them.

Black organization – a large criminal organization that has been the talk of the country in recent years. Manufacturing of drugs, Smuggling, Human Trafficking, Assassination of Key People, and other various criminal acts. And also the organization which Dodriel is currently serving under.

(If I could, I didn’t want to get involved…)

However, there’s no helping for what happened at Daido Firm. Not swordsmen or anyone else – rather, simple ordinary people were attacked by the mysterious group that suddenly appeared. If I made the decision not to take action at that time, I would have regretted it forever. So, this time, there really was no helping it.

「Thank you for the advice.」

「Yes, be careful. Well, I have to deal with the aftermath now, so I’ll be taking my leave here. Let’s meet again sometime, Allen-kun.」Rize-san said, and laughed gently whilst narrowing her fox eyes.

「Yes, let’s meet again sometime.」

Then we parted ways with her and for the time being we returned to the Kimono Rental Main Store. Of course, to compensate for the yukata that had been torn. However, the people in the store had already heard of the incident, and said that the compensation was not necessary. On the contrary, they even said,「Thank you on behalf of Drestia」.
