Chapter 52 - #51 Contacted by Oarburgh? (2/2)

Even the 2 hooded figured couldn't help but overhear guards' conversation with their sharp hearing.

”*Hehe, looks like he is a big shot.*”

”*Plus he has a handsome face, hihi. But don't forget why we are here...we have to lead him outside of the city without those cute girls following him.*”

---

”Let's go, there is nothing interesting here anymore.” I said with a small smile and walked away from the stall with the grilled food.

The girls immediately followed after me.

After more than 10 minutes of walking, I finally realized that those hooded figures wanted to meet me outside of the town and all alone at that.

They were keeping their distance from me and when I looked at them they always looked towards the direction of the gate, however, when I tried to walk there with the girls by my side, they suddenly walked away as if they lost interest in us.

”Kurome, Ichika, can you go ahead? You can go to practice outside or go back home.” I said with a helpless smile.

”Young lord...are you really sure about that?” Ichika immediately asked me with a worried expression and Kurome also nodded her head as if she was agreeing with Ichika's words.

”Yes, don't worry about me and by no means don't follow me.” I said with a decisive voice and walked towards the gate while leaving the girls standing in the middle of the street while looking at me with a worried expression.

Glancing back, I saw them release a long sigh and dejectedly walk back towards the mansion.

I am sorry, girls.

When I walked out of the city, I entered the forest but I didn't go too far away.

I leaned my back against the tree and closed my eyes while waiting for my guests.

”Yahooo!” Two feminine voice resounded right above me.

I opened my right eye and looked up.

”Hellooo! My name is Loris~!” Said a petite girl with gray eyes and cyan hair tied in two pigtails. On the left side of her forehead, she had a star. She introduced herself while hanging from the branch right above me, upside down with her hand showing a V sign right in front of her eye and with stuck-out tongue.

”And mine is Meela~!” Another petite girl with purple eyes and cyan hair tied in ponytail said. On the right side of her forehead, she had a half-moon. she introduced herself the same way as the other girl with the only difference of position of her V sign which was the opposite eye of the other girl.

”Nice to meet you~!” Both of them said aloud in perfect synchronization.

Both of them were wearing a white shirt together with a black dress. They were definitely twin sisters.

Seeing their way of introduction, I couldn't help but look at them weirdly.

”Huh? What's with that lame reaction?!” Meela asked with tilted head to the side and confused expression.

”Yeah, yeah, what's wrong? Our beauty caught your tongue? We won't be angry if that's the case.” Loris added and both sisters jumped down, landing right in front of me.

Hearing Loris's words I couldn't help but look at them even more weirdly.

”Hey, but it's improper not to introduce yourself, being struck by our beauty is no excuse! Just because you have a handsome face doesn't mean that you are allowed to be so impolite!” Meela said but Loris joined her in the last sentence and in the end, they ended pressing their index finger at my ċhėst while looking at me with ”upset” expression and slightly blushed cheeks.

...What have I gotten myself into now?

”My name is Akashi, what do you want from me?” I said with my hands in my pockets, not being bothered with them poking my ċhėst.

”Babara Oba-chan sent us to look for you~!” Loris said with a smile but she didn't take her finger back from my ċhėst.

”Mhm” Meela nodded numerous times with a big smile.

O-Oba-chan?

I thought while my right eye started twitching a bit.

”I see, is there something she needs?” I changed my tone to a bit friendlier one once I have discovered that they are from Oarburgh clan.

”Actually, she wants you to help them or more like being there with them just in case. We accepted a contract from The Revolutionary Army. They want to get rid of the Imperial ȧssassins that have been doing great damage as of lately.” Loris said with a big smile while staring straight into my eyes.

”Loris!” Meela shouted at her sister.

”What? Babara Oba-chan said that he is trustwothy~! And you indeed are, right, Akashi~?!” Loris looked confusedly at her sister before turning her attention at me and asked me with a pleading smile.

”Heh, sure” I couldn't help but chuckle and shake my head after seeing their actions.

”Yep~ Yep~ Of course, he is. Did you hear that, Meela?” Loris proudly nodded her head numerous times as if she was right and her sister wrong.

*Smack* Meela facepalmed herself.

”Alright girls, tell me details or we will be standing here until the evening and none of us don't want that, right?” I said with a small smile.

”What if all of us want that?” Loris muttered.

Her sister and I looked weirdly at her for a moment before Meela started explaining the situation.

...

”See you later, mister Red Devil! Oh, I almost forgot, this is for you!” Meela said while standing on the branch, ready to leave just to remember something. She then threw me a bag with something inside.

When I looked inside I saw...

”Make-up?” I muttered.

”Yes, this one is special! You can change your hair color and also length of your hair. It will last even under the water however you will have to reapply it in a few days once again but this much should be enough for you two get to where Babara Oba-chan will be. Please don't be late for the meeting~!” Meela explained with a smile while holding her hand behind her back and leaning forward.

”Bye~ Bye~ Mister Red Devil!” Loris waved at me and winked at me before leaving with her sister.

...Well, that was something else but with this make-up, I will be able to travel with a completely new identity.
