Chapter 120 (2/2)

”Good, then let's rush into the mansion. Sasuke, you'll be in the vanguard, Allen, I leave the rear to you. Anyway, our priority is rescuing Miss Elise. Of course, we'll also crush the criminals, but ensuring Miss Elise's safety is the most important. Originally, the victims are released if the ransom is paid, but at this rate they'll keep doing it endlessly. We're stopping them now.”

In response to grandfather words, Sasuke-san went inside first. Then grandfather, I, Sana, Ange-san, Allen-kun followed.

Sasuke-san said it's a secret entrance, but it seems to be used quite often.

Specifically, there are no spider webs, the air isn't bad either.

We hurried ahead with vigilance.

As Sasuke-san said, in about a minute we reached a dead end.

And when Sasuke-san moved something with a rustling sound, it got brighter.

It looks like a fireplace with no outlet.

Speaking of a secret pa.s.sages, it's a fireplace again?

For the time being, we succeeded in breaking into the mansion.

They probably didn't think somebody would come from here, but is it alright to let people enter so easily?

”Sasuke, is the room where Miss Elise is held nearby?”

”Ah. When we exit, the room, it's to the left, at the end, of the hallway.”

”Sasuke, did you go up to the ceiling from here and see that room?”

”Ah, look, up there. I removed, that board, and climbed.”

Looking in the direction Sasuke-san pointed at, a corner of the ceiling is slightly dislodged.

It's simple to remove…

”Then, sorry Sasuke, but please confirm the current situation. If the criminal isn't near Miss Elise, we'll rush in at once.”

”Got it.”

Saying so, Sasuke-san hopped and climbed into the ceiling.

Ange-san is staring at him.

In her eyes is reflected an absolute wish to be taught.

When this uproar is over, I wonder if she'll quarrel about it again.

”This time Sasuke-san saved us.”

”Ah, you're right. In the worst case I thought of calling for Hanzou.”

Ara, Hanzou-san?

A nostalgic name, that I haven't heard for quite a while now, came up.

While I and grandfather were talking, frustrated Ange-san muttered.

”I will, become a splendid ninja. I will show that I'm more useful to Lillinoneesama than Sasuke. I should capture Sasuke when he returns…”

Ah, Sasuke-san, do your best running away.

Ange-san's eyes are those that are aiming at a prey.

I prayed for Sasuke-san's safety.
