Chapter 2: All alone

hello, this is the old boy et himself

I aht

I aht because it hasn’t been exposed

It appears that one of the knights aiting for me in front of the room

“I’m sorry to have made you wait!”

“Don’t worry about it! It’s over there”

I go towards the direction he pointed his finger at

A corridor made of stones

It really looks and feels like the basement of a medieval European castle

The smooth walls are neatly refined, it seems

Is this a carpet on the floor?

This ireen cloth…

Are these electric lights?

These systeo off at equal intervals

Is this japan? Are there japanese organizations that could construct such a n country?

An organization that can easily take out 10 people or so without using passports, huh!?…

No matter how you look at it, it’s uncommon

“Err! Would it be ok for me to speak?”

“You must not! Be silent and move!”

“……Understood!”

Hmmm

I was bluntly and coldly refused without feeling any sort of anger in his voice…

The incident froo and the interaction just now

These knights have high pride and act according to a clear purpose Or so it seems

And as I was thinking, are we by any chance in theprocess?

“By the hy did you stay in that room until the end?”

The knight following me inquired

How do I answer?

“Well, since I realized that you, people, have no intention to cause us any harainst your indications”

“I see Continue!”

“With all due respect, you killed two men and held your swords covered in blood for everyone to see Most certainly, due to the inflicted terror everyone would have obeyed your instructions nonetheless But there were young women inside that room too”

“I see Fear is likely to create confusion and the possibility to black out”

“Yes, it is exactly as you said”

“Why did you think that we don’t intend to harm you?”

“That is because you need us for so for a skilled person”

The knight halted in his steps

“You don’t intend to harhtly different, isn’t it!? You don’t intend to harm us pointlessly! Isn’t that so?”

I turnedthe question…

Ah!

He was laughing with a dreadful grim face…

Did I mess up?

“Hahahaha…! You come this way Follow me!”

You…?
