6 Episode 6 "Escape the Royal City with Ancient Word Magic".txt (1/2)
When I woke up, it was still dark around me.
There was no ...... clock. I'm sleeping in a straw bed. Next to me is Cecil, wearing a collar. Okay, it's a different world.
...... It's kind of noisy.
Maybe that's why I woke up .......
The lodgings in the fantasy world are not so good at sound insulation. It's the first time I've heard of it.
The walls are brick, but the floor is wooden.
I can hear such things as ”break down the door and step in at once”, ”they have a cheat skill”, ”they're asleep, so it's okay”, ”money grabber”, ”if you tie them up and make them sign a contract, they'll be safe for life” and so on.
”Cecil, wake up!
'...... Nagi? ...... ha.
Cecil woke up with a start and got down on his knees in front of me.
I'm sorry! You can't wake me up in the same bed as your master!
Get your stuff and get out of here. Let's get our stuff and get out of here.
Okay.
Cecil stands up quickly.
Long ears, it seems, are not foolish.
Cecil knows that the voices coming from the other side of the door are those of a slaver and a skill dealer.
The luggage was prepared yesterday as soon as we arrived at the inn.
They were going to leave the capital immediately today anyway.
''We're ready!
All right, come with me.
For now, I propped up a chair against the door and used it as a grabber, and Cecil and I moved closer to the wall.
The only window - a small one - is near the ceiling.
Cecil might be able to get out, but I can't.
”...... d*mn it, it won't open! He's noticed, you two!
The door rattled.
'Shit. Are you in the middle of the fun? You're letting your master turn you into a woman, Cecil!
'You haven't gone to ............ yet, have you? Mr. Nagi.
What do you mean, ”not yet”?
Why are you giving me that twinkle in your eye? I don't plan on it! Maybe for now!
Poking around, I explore the wall.
A thin brick wall. It's a corner room, so the other side of it is outside.
I had checked the location before staying at the inn. As I recall, there's a tree on the street over here...
Sorry to disturb you. Sir.
The door was kicked open.
The people who came in were a small male slaver and a bespectacled skill man.
And a couple of big men with clubs.
'Excuse me for this morning. We are interested in the rare skill you have. We would like to buy your other skills if we could. What, I won't be rough with you. I would like to start a business with you, preferably with you in a 'contract'.......listen to me!
I don't want to be scared.
Okay, let's run.
I activate my skills against the wall.
”Structure slam!
bang
There was a hole in the brick wall.
'We're getting away, Cecil! Yes, Nagi-sama!
We climbed out of the hole.
I grabbed a branch from a street tree and said, ”Holy shit. I could break it. No, it could be broken. Uh-oh. Uh-oh!
I'll catch you, Nagi-sama!
Cecil's off first, and he has his arms outstretched.
'You can't do that!'
Okay.
I let go of the branch. A few meters of vertical drop. The landing - my feet go numb, and my legs go numb. But...
I persevered.
The slavers are looking at me through the hole in the wall.
They might be able to get through that hole. But the big boys will never get through.
”Huh. ”Huh. Come after me if you want to die. They'll put a hole in your body!
It's cool, Nagi-sama!
No, it's not possible.
Building Hard Strike LV 1: Powerful damage to the walls and interior of a room. Destruction Properties: ”Brick” and ”Wooden Wall
So, the anti-personnel destructive power is zero.
Let's go, Cecil!
I took Cecil's hand and started running through the pre-dawn town.
'd*mn it, it's persistent!
I don't know the land over here.
I was just summoned yesterday, and Cecil has been in the slavers' shop the whole time.
Your pursuers are the inhabitants of this town. They know all the main streets and alleys.
I thought I could escape to the narrow streets and they wouldn't find me, but I was pinned down in the opposite direction.
Two from the left, two from the right.
Surrounded by brick houses.
There are one or two houses with open doors.
There's no point in trying to escape. You'll end up cornered.
The ”Building Strike Lv 1” can destroy the walls, but it can't damage the human body. ......
Cecil, come here for a minute.
Okay.
I pull Cecil's hand away and run into the building at hand.
And then.
”'Rapid Analysis'
Activate skills.
Fast Analysis is a 'quick' 'analysis' of 'surroundings'
Even if the area of effect is narrow, you can at least search for the guys chasing you right up there.
A window opened to overlap with the brick wall.
Big Man #1 and Big Man #2 - that's all I know.
As expected, it's impossible to know the status of an enemy you've never met before.
But I can tell the location of those guys from the movement of the window.
Ah, they're here. They're on the other side of the wall.
I timed it to the right time──say.
”'Building Slamming'!
