Chapter 22 (2/2)

“Correct We are here together because the relationshi+p between the two countries is different noe be sharing each other’s fate?”

“Chardonnay, you are saying so like that…”

“Ara… are you surprised? Have I not invested considerable sums of money in this?”

Jared interrupts the ed noble there

“I apologize Hewso-sama and Chardonnay-sama The matter of this conversation…”

Hearing this the blond ed ikemen, Hewso, opens his mouth and looks at hier

“What is it?”

“Hai… His Excellency was concerned that infor Princess Narskeri-sama was leaked from the loyalist faction He is concerned”

Jared’s voice is somewhat tense

“Prime Minister Zamdo is still worried about thatof the details out of impatience? Even if the secret bureau has a leak the truth about the kidnapping will never coold…” (TL: I’m not confident in that last sentence)

Wait, what? Princess? Kidnapping? Secret Bureau? Royalist Faction?

Did a lot of these words suddenly come out?

“The surrounding roup… kidnappers, assassins, aren’t these back roos your business? Isn’t ‘Nebulous’ called the 【Shadow’s Right Hand】? No doubt they are all excellent people”

Chardonnay says so and turns her eyes to Hewso

Shesmile while she plays with her blond hair

The way this wo

While unpleasant, the woman called Chardonnay is a beautiful woman

Beautiful long blond hair and porcelain skin

She has a well-defined nose cool blue eyes, a beauty that feels like high class furniture

The clothes she is wearing serve to emphasize on her beauty

Fro of the coat the collar of her black dress has pink flower embroidery, the low-cut neck line is decorated with flowers to hide her exposed chest

Surely the clothes she is wearing is not below a precious stone Her legs’ figure is exposed by the pants is wearing

Froive the impression of a bell rose

She has the i woman

“That’s right After Chardonnay, isn’t the person standing behind the same kind?”

“Ara, isn’t so like this natural Do you think I would co but small fry soldiers?”

“Certainly”

Jared then opens his mouth

“Hewso-sahness Zamdo… ill hear the details about the preparations for the surprise apology at tolish)

When the noble woman Chardonnay hears that she makes a satisfied smile

“…Naturally As expected But, Prime Minister Zamdo is bad too This is the princess of your country?”

Kidnapping a princess?

I should run away… (TL: This be some bad juju)

I activate <hidden body=””> and retreat one step, two steps

And then-

‘-Someone is there!”

Even though I a hidden body I was discovered

The person who spoke appears out of the darkness from behind Hewso

They are wearing a black coat and a white mask White mask-san turns their blood lust in my direction

“Oi oi, is there an outsider? No one should be here?”

Blond-haired Hewso-kun is furious He glares at Jared with a flushed face

“Hai Naturally…is it true?”

“Yeah Zeefu reacted”

“Ara, ma This conversation… does that mean the plan has been leaked?”

White mask seems to be called Zeefu, and the mask is turned in my direction

“Come out from that corner”

Acha, I was seen through

Does the white mask named Zeefu have a skill similar to pheromone touch and presence detection?

No, because I was not noticed right away it must be a different kind of perception

There are ic essence reactions from presence detection around me

Is this ht snack part open to everyone?

However, this situation does not really seem appropriate for a joke

I ae in numbers

I need to be prepared to escape, although I was planning on leaving…I reveal myself

Hewso looks at ure with his slitted fox eye

“Where are you from Are you actually from the royalist faction?”

He asks me calmly

“Eto, I’abond”

I do not intend to try and deceive them

“How long have you been there?”

“Fro”

“Since this is just garbage there’s no reason to keep it alive? Hewso?”

The noble woman, Chardonnay

Her pale-co spreads from my stomach as she takes a cold attitude

She just called e

She calleddown on me

…Sickening

“Understood Zeefu, Apo, Yui Kill him”

“Ha”

“Understood”

“Immediately”

Two shadows appear from the darkness and reply

The tcomers are dressed like Zeefu with black overcoats and white masks

T people The thitea sound come to a stop next to Zeefu

Three people in total And then, captain Jared whistles

With that signal, the helmeted soldiers pull out their swords, and become a wall to protect the nobles

Several of the soldiers are slowly approaching me

I check witheye

The heln of moji

The problem is the three whitemana in their hands and feet

All three must be moji users

However, their proficiency is clearly lacking

The transfer of mana in their body is too slow

N, there is one person who is awfully smooth

To be frank, since I don’t want to fight…should I try talking?

“Wait just a second Arbitrarily killing ardless of what happens…”

“You know more than you need to”

Hewso says so while looking at me with cold eyes

After giving nals Zeefu and Apo to kill me with a look

Chi, it cannot be helped

It looks like there is going to be a fight, holding the black spear I make eye contact with Rollo

In that instant, Rollo transforer body and throws herself at two soldiers

At the same time, the white mask that discovered me earlier steps forward

Zeefu kicks the ground with fighting s and comes at me

-Quick movement

Holding a long sword in their right hand

Ai for my chest, the black mask called Apo runs at me too

Si a sword

The blackfor my neck

In those few seconds, I respond (TL: I would like so this phrase“俺はゼロコンマ何秒で” this is the second tilish If anyone has any idea, please leave a comment)

I e the two slashi+ng swords

Both of the longswords miss

I attack while their guard is down

I point the tip of my black spear at the white mask first

Zeefu can’t react to my counter attack with the spear

They can only slightly shi+ft my body

Naturally, that is not enough to prevent my attack

My spear counterthrusts like a drill deep into the pit the white ushes out from the cut in the cloak

Zeefu groans “Gwo” and retreats back in agony

Iain

I re appears”

Green eyes behind the black s down their long sword and tip slashes across ht shoulder

I ive up-

I move in a circle with “tiptoe half-turn” and retreat half a step

And lifting my elbow I lift the back half of the spear

The long sword le

Then, with a clang,the sound of breaking metal

The broken end of the sword flies of in the direction of the nobles, and pierces a soldier for the wall

-Hii, he screams faintly

Fu, success Alright, I broke the long sword

This looks easy, but it was hard

I had to make the butt end of the black spear collide with theThis is a technique shi+sho taught me, “Sword Break”

I immediately counterattack

Disturbed by the destruction of their beloved sword, Apo cannot match my speed

Circling in frole, I come in with a battle cry

It attacks straight as knife

I enhancemoji and kick Apo in the pit of their sto is audible

“Gwe”

The black ins to lean forward like they are going to fall

I pull the cloak wearing black round in a back throw

But I do not end it with that

Looking down at the black masked Apo-

Right before Apo’s skull s up the metal rod of the black spear and kick

The thrust out black spear cracks into Apo’s face

The ether with the black mask

Apo’s grey matter splashes out

After all, this is “Lightning Drop”

This is one of the abstract <spear sparring=””> techniques, however I don’t reht with shi+sho,

Oh, Rollo has finished biting the necks of the sht seems to be over

But, there is another one…the guy with the black mask

I can seein their feet

This one is the shortest, and their at than the other two

Seeing how their other whitecautious andslowly, they pull two unique swords from their sheaths

The sword blades are crossed in front of the mask

A faintly shi+ning white character ees the sword blades

Those words, they look like protection ic

The two of them have mana

Cool

In addition, those swords look so with fists (TL: You can see them on the cover art)

Part of the sword blade extends away froned in a circular pattern

While looking at the unique swords, after swinging the black spear to remove the blood, I assume my posture with my spear directed at the eyes

The white mask moves first

This guy takes advantage of their s fast with their swords swept out horizontally to the sides

I quickly keep the back spear pointed at their eyes- I block their attack

The black tanza spear collides with the unique swords

With a high-pitched kiwi the swords are repelled, and I respond with a stab with the black spear at the same time

But, it is easily avoided-

The guy leans their head slightly and dodges my black spear

Without change they move their body forward and extend out their left hand, and the silver sword stabs at my neck

-crap, I was careless

One stab, two stabs, ai the slashi+ng swords

As if whiteatdown again-

This fellow is really strong

With the continuous fight of the white ht for me

Dodge Avoid shi+ft Continue dodging attacks

Ma, this is on purpose This sword is beautiful

I do not need to use my trump

I watch it slowly and carefully, and when there is an opening in the sword I counterattack

As the sword slashes at my black spear I easily rotate it I wait for the attack with the tords where the guy over swings slightly

In one strike to the eyes, without receiving the black spear, they barely dodge it The h as the white mask slips to the left a bit

Swinging with the tord, ai

-Here it comes!

I a abranch

Gently, I receive the sword slash- and repel it In an instant, the sword that collided with the metal bar is knocked away

Without using <fightingin that ht of my opponent and hit my enemy’s foot

“Eh-”

The white uy about to fall and thrown them backwards

Like this, the nobles atching pleasantly suddenly stare wide-eyed

Hewso looks at me in surprises and mutters

“T-the three strongest of Nebulous, our 【Shadow’s Right Hand】 defeated so easily-”

“…I’m surprised I want him as my subordinate-”

Is her, Chardonnay?

The noble wo and blushes with a far off look in her eyes…

“Hewso-sama! Chardonnay-sama! Let us retreat now I-”

The tattooed captain Jared, is it because of uythe soldiers killed by the black cat Rollo…

“Jared It is impossible for you”

Hewso talks Seeing his subordinate defeated so easily, he seems to understand my ability

“Th…This responsibility, is mine!”

“Jared, I said…did you, no, did Prie this?”

Hewso glares at Jared

Jared hurriedly shakes his head left and right and looks at Hewso

“It’ different, co about it It’s true However, this fellow, they may be a talent who has been nurtures by the secret bureau and royalist faction…”

“Jared- you are an inco Yet, thanks to that I can tell that you are not an enemy…”

A white haired old e sword strapped to his back appears The old soldier with the big sword bows slightly to Chardonnay, and approaches her

“Ojou, no, you Highness…”

The old man whispers to Chardonnay and talks in a low voice

“So Un Ahuh I understand Right away, let’s retreat…Hewso I am disappointed we couldn’t have our talk here; it will have to wait for another time…well then Keeki, Same Let us return”

A beast wo up next to the old soldier, touches one knee to the ground

“Ha” “I obey”

The beast woman and the old solder both lower their heads to Chardonnay and respond

“Chardonnay!”

Are you breaking you pro as if to say that

Besides, are there subordinates that see But they seem to have run away

Good As for me, I will escape

“Then, I’ll escape to, so be relieved I have to intentions to reveal anything There was no o Rollo Well, bye”

Speaking in an easy-going tone, I bow goodbye

Hewso and Jared glare at ht situation is to beat a retreat

“Hey, you!”

Strengtheningmoji I quickly come to Rollo’s side and pick her up, and run away to where the popobu
