Chapter 158 (1/2)

< Running Away from the Hero! 158 18 What did I even do? (7)>

, horsie!”

My powerful whipping caused the horses to screahter’s yell-like voice resounded out, but it couldn’t be helped at the e was slow Yes, it was quicker than a person, but that place was the royal castle of a kingdom My pursuers could easily procure an excellent breed of horses to catch up to us in no time at all

My opponent this time was the Order of Nature

No one knehen they would figure out I was gone, but, as sure as the rising sun, those driven bastards would definitely coious orders will also cogled in delight next to me

I nodded back at her “Probably However, I’on”

Honestly speaking, I’ve only heard about dragons in stories… Ahe seven silvers, but in any case!

This was on’s battle

No, hang on a second Did that even qualify as a battle? Judging froe, it seemed more like a one-sided beatdown, didn’t it?

In ti is the best way No, scratch that, fleeing without looking back is the only way!

“Master? There’s so ahead of us?”

“On a mountainside like this?”

I had utilised all sorts of flashy skills to h the es

Here I was, taking on the risk of the carriage wheels breaking down to brave these roads, yet there was a person in theit wrong… Looks like she’s wearing soly expensive clothes…?”

“Nope, ~! And that’s a really cool maid uniform, too!”

Not even thelike that

Thecare of simpler chores, were all co who rounds

No matter how much education the et used to working in such flashy clothing

“It’ll be wiser to ignore that, right?”

“Well, if it’s you, led up in some weird incident in situations like this, so yeah”

How unfortunate, but the metal bat’s words were rather on-point

That e should ignore that maid and be on our way, but then…

“Wait, isn’t that… hts suddenly flashed, and then… a wall of ice was generated before us

“Give me a break…”

Surely there couldn’t have been all thatic like this

“Please help us, sir My na Princess Vera”

Seeing how she greeted us whiledecorum in this kind of situation, she definitely was an aristocrat, alright

Well, she did say she was a lady-in-waiting Not just any, but the exclusive lady-in-waiting serving the princess, no less Meaning, it’d not be a shocker if she turns out to be a high-ranking noble, too!

“Her Highness Princess Vera has been kidnapped by the evil dragon, Aruketai, sir”

Ng, I know already

I was accoo, after all

“Princess Vera was…”

Even though I clearly was uninterested, Serel di Keinel was trying to tell me all the ups and downs of the situation

Hey, miss? The only ‘Vera’ I know is an ice creah for et rid of that wall of ice, then knock her out with the metal bat to the back of her head…

“There they are!”

“The carriage is over there!”

-We got discovered~?

-bloody hell!

Thefrom afar! “Over here!”

“Lady Serel!”

“As expected of Sir Hero’s teacher!”

“Indeed Sir Hero told us that his instructor would already be on his way to chase down the dragon, and he was right!”

What kind of a series of puppy barkings is this sht?! Me, chasing down a dragon? Me?!

-Sounds like the hero got clever there,your stock as his dear instructor, so to confess that you fled would be a bit, you know

-To think that that idiot has gotten this crafty!

If the hero truthfully told everyone that I had run aeafter us

Well, they would’ve had to focus all their attention on the upcoon, after all!

But what if he said that I was chasing after the dragon, and that’s why they do they’ve got!

“Instructooor!”

Just as I began to seriously contehter in tow, the da his hand

-Okay, dom’s aron! Aaand your answer is~?

-How about neither, and I just flee to the other side of the continent with irl, instead?

Over a hundred co from the state of their current equip on Considering the class of this kingdoest combat force this nation had!

“Did you say they are the Hero Party?”

“Yes, Lady Serel This gentleht, Sir Sill rescue Princess Vera!”

Thethick drops of tears and began thanking us out of the blue “Thank you… Thank you so rateful, sir!”

No, you don’t have to thank me

Because I have no desire whatsoever to rescue your ice creao!

“Well now, instructor We have plenty of eyewitnesses here today, so… I think it’ll be better for you to also participate in thethat will take place in the royal castle, in-s-truc-tor”

Mister Hero chewed out those words in a voice filled with seething emotion

-Master, he’s pissed! The Hero is pissed because master ran!

-What the hell, he’s the hero, and that’s why he got saddled with a dragon raid, so why take it out on uess?

Hey, I should be the one venting in this situation!

How dare he even think about taking his noble and lofty teacher to a dragon raid featuring a 100 mortality rate?!

-Heh, master Because you’ve been such a lofty teacher, maybe the hero can’t tell the difference? Like, since you’re so lofty, he just wants to send you to somewhere lofty, too? Like heaven?

Kyah… You knohat, I didn’t think of that

A teacher so noble and lofty that his disciple wishes to send him to somewhere noble and lofty, too! Like afterlife!

“Alice has agreed to go with us, so please, let’s be on our way, instructor”

This son of a gun, did he just dare to useus with my little sister?! Master, let’s just beat his sorry ass up here and run!

Even the hter her little sister seery at the hero’s declaration

Since all these idiots were destined to be KIA during the dragon raid, I ht as well let the metal bat handle them now and then…

“…Very well Let us head back to the royal court”

“I’m sorry?” The hero became much flustered at ! The ice crea… no, I meant Princess Vera has been kidnapped by the despicable evil dragon, and we cannot afford to waste time like this!”

“Y-yes, of course…?”

My rather forthright yelling seeed the hero into an even deeper fluster
