Chapter 25 (1/2)
I thought I didn't need to sleep anyor because I was Ranking Up, but I saw drea tiot over them already…
”Hey, Shedy Wake up!”
…bwha? My consciousness awakened in a hurry Information of the outside world flooded into my head
”…why are you here?”
”That's my line”
I still had
I stayed seated, knees still hugged, and looked up Within the clattering freight car, I saw Tiz standing there as if he owned the whole world, looking down atclothes much fancier than what he had on e first parted
Standing behind and to his left was a silver-haired old azing sharply at ht unifor in her twenties A sword radiating faint ht was in her hand She held it in an alert stance, her eyes glaring with obvious hostility
”So it seeirl?”
”Stop it with the 'boy' already, graet in town So, Shedy, why are you here? Talk”
It wasn't an interrogation, soto drivenear
”U about how to answer
Then all of a sudden, the knight barged in between us ”Sir, don't come any closer!” She turned to me, ”Speak! You must be an assassin hired by some other noble, aren't you?! If you won't confess, perhaps so to Shedy here Stay out!”
Tiz's roar was enough to drown out even the train's clattering for a ht started and shrank back, flustered Her face went pale She bit her lips in discontent and glared daggers at hed, his hands scratching his head, and he turned to the butler
”Grauest room Handle the formalities for me”
”…understood”
The butler sin of his thoughts He handed the lantern over to one of the attending knights behind hio room
”Sir, you mustn't! We can't trust her!”
”Salia, shut up Shedy, coht he was a noble Apparently he was a ined
I didn't kno he ed to discover my presence on the train so easily I couldn't continue to stay in this room anyway, so I quietly stood up and followed hiht car, I realized it wastiht As I squinted ht wo her teeth and glaring at me, her sword still unsheathed She whispered
”Don't think you've won, little bitch…”
”…”
[Reroll]
”Eeek!”
She lost her balance in the shaking train, but ed to put her hand on the wall and stabilized herself before she could fall… huh, so she rode that out Well, whatever Doing this was a waste of ht? Her face turned scarlet froer of leaving her sword out and sheathed it, her foot sta at theto hide it Let's tattle to the conductor later
The freight car was at the tail end of the train, and apparently Tiz's group was riding the car right in front of it I saw knights and h the corridor Looked like he was exactly the 'other country's noble' that I heard about
One car was for 24 people Each person's ticket fare was 5 sold coins…
Spending 24 large gold coins for a round trip ticket to go hunting just because he was bored What deep pockets Tiz had Other than the guest roo to what looked like the toilet and the shower This sort of train ride was a first for ht around the middle of the car I followed behind him Salia went in last, then stood in front of the door The room was approximately 14 squaretea
”Shedy, sit in front of me”
”Yeah”
My casual reply earnedwave of bloodlust frole sofa chair in the corner of the room I moved to sit on the three-seater sofa opposite hi tea for the two of us
”Come on, talk”
”First off, how did you knoas there?”
”I did! God had granted er fro her lesson
So that meant she was a Child of God, too? That was how she found me? Okay, I understood that part, but then why did Tiz come? Don't you normally call the train conductor if you think you've found so suspicious?
Turned out Children of God were surprisingly coht thes Tiz's face was already starting to look veiny from her repeated interruptions
The butler atte lord is still speaking”
”M-My apologies…”
”I wanted to see the auction in the capital” Things weren't going anywhere, so I admitted my motive Tiz looked triued into disbelief as he leaned back on the sofa
”What, so you wanted to see the auction so etto the auction too, didn't I?”
”I didn't know you were on this train, Tiz”
”Cease your lies! You're obviously here to cheat enerous compassion! Filthy plebeian, what other trickery-”
