Chapter 63 (2/2)
As for Fii, her expression was filled with respect for him.
She was once again sure that Crow-san was like the ideal knight. Since he did nothing but pick up women all day, she had gotten a little disappointed in him, but now his impression had shot up again.
“He’s good with sorting these things out. He’s helped me too. By the way, what were you two doing exactly?”
Once the focus returned to them, they averted their eyes in silence.
“Ah-!”
But by coincidence, Fii noticed a certain thing.
“What is it, what is it?”
And Conrad got on board.
Fii was pointing at a group of roughly 15 hooligans, watching Crow from the shadows.
You would never see their sort in a place like this, so they were particularly out of place.
“Those guys are the ones that picked a fight with us during my training! It’s definitely them!”
Fii spotted the three men from that night.
“Three people weren’t enough against you two, so they went and gathered more?” mused Conrad, “Sounds like something a hooligan would do. Well, what are we going to do?”
Crow would be fine even against those fifteen. He even had a sabre this time, so this group was no match for him. But right now there was the little princess next to him.
It would spoil the princess’ date with her knight.
Would it be fine to let her be frightened? The three of them were knights.
Thus, Fii’s answer was natural.
“The three of us will take care of them!”
The thugs had gathered their buddies for revenge before searching for the target.
It was some pretty boy with long hair.
It didn’t take long to find him. They were scared when they saw him in his knight’s outfit, but it wasn’t a problem.
After all, there were fifteen of them.
They found an alleyway nearby to hide in and waited for their revenge. Although they stood out quite a bit, none of that mattered as long as the guy himself didn’t see.
He ended up bringing a little girl along, but that was convenient too. As long as they could hold her hostage, they had as good as won.
“When are we doing it?”
“Soon. I’ll give the signal, and we’ll do it.”
Once that guy pa.s.sed by their alleyway, all fifteen of them would rush him at once.
With their numbers he’d have the s.h.i.+t beaten out of him no matter how strong he was.
“He he he, I dunno if you’re a knight or whatever, but I’ll teach you to regret going against I, the great Kidda-sama.”
“My. Who’s going to be regretting, exactly?”
“What a funny thing to say.”
“None of you lot look strong enough to deal with a knight.”
Three people suddenly jumped down from the rooftops.
One was a peerless, enchanting beauty. One was a tiny boy dressed as an apprentice knight. One was a masked man dressed as a knight.
The three of them were standing around their group in some kind of encirclement.
“W-, Who the f.u.c.k are you guys!” shouted Gidda in agitation.
“We’re from the 5th Knight Division,” began the man.
“Boorish guys who interrupted dates,” continued the woman.
“Will all be eliminated by us!” finished the boy.
Since the 18th Division wasn’t exactly official, they just used some other name.
York’s expression was even as usual, but Fii and Conrad were grinning daringly.
“K-Knight Division!?”
“Even if they’re telling the truth, it’s only three people! Get em!”
“Only the guy looks any strong. After we beat the s.h.i.+t out of him, it’s over.”
At Gidda’s signal, all of them rushed at York together.
It only took one swing of York’s sheathed sword, and five grown men had already tumbled to the ground.
The hooligans began to fear.
“T-, This guy… Strong…”
“We gotta run!”
“Get the woman! Take out the woman!”
The men began running towards the side they thought was easiest.
But the woman was nowhere to be seen.
“Eh? She’s gone?”
“Where’d she go?”
By the time they said that, Conrad was already behind them.
Cornad reached out and grabbed one of the unsuspecting men.
With his slender arms, it looked like a joke when he lifted the man up and smacked him along with two others towards a wall. Not content to stop there, his two arms curved like snakes to constrict around two other necks and stole their consciousness in an instant.
Seeing that, three other men tried to run away, but Conrad promptly dispatched them with a knife hand, a punch, and a palm strike.
In but a moment, another eight men were lying on the ground.
It was only Gidda and one other left.
“Hii…! M-Monster!”
“The brat! We can break past the brat!”
Fii pulled out some kind of rope. At its centre it split into three, each one with some kind of heavy rubber ball attached. It was a throwing weapon known as bolas.
When Fii noticed the men running towards her, she began swinging the bolas above her head. Even the feeble Fii could grant them incredible kinetic energy by doing this.
And once they were powerful enough, she released them towards their legs.
The three-p.r.o.nged weight rope spread midair and wrapped tightly, depriving the thugs of their movements.
“Iii!?”
“Uwah!”
The ropes wrapped around them, the weights smacked into their bodies, and the thugs ended up falling to the ground.
And like a boxer countering an incoming straight, as the men fell towards her…
“EI!”
She exploded into a merciless kick to the face. Falling to the ground with the whites of his eyes showing was the leader of these thugs.
After that, the three of them handed the thugs to the knights.
Crow’s date with the girl ended without incident, and apparently the girl had cheered up.
It seemed that Perciore was giving his best in rehabilitation as well so that he could make a comeback as a knight.
Finally―――
“I’m so hungry. This is your fault, Conrad-san.”
“I’m hungry too. But it’s not good to blame others for your problems.”
Fii and Conrad had their food taken as punishment.
Watching over Crow’s date had just barely been acceptable, but graffitiing on people’s rooftops was a no go. Well, that really should have been obvious though.
Since sweets and tea were forbidden as well, for a while, the two of them simply spent the time at the gathering place, slouching over a table.
