Chapter 26 (1/2)

”Yep, I knew it Red looks good on you Your white skin and hair reallyme in a complete ensemble, Tiz nodded in satisfaction

”…thanks” I replied tersely

Twenty-two days of borrowed time left

When we arrived at the station in Trestan's capital last evening, ere greeted by over a dozen of Tiz's subordinates and knights

If the whole group had gone, they would've had to rent out the entire train Looked like whoever handled the whole thing kne much was too much Which meant it must have been the butler, not Tiz

The day after, which was today, the clothing arrived at the high-class inn ere staying at No one had even come to measurea high-quality-looking white peasant blouse, with a black, knee-length pleated skirt and black leather ankle boots

And covering all of the dark-red shade NoHood here

How had things come to this? I recalled the events of yesterday, when I was still on the train

Tiz had gotten bored being cooped up in a train for a whole day, which uest roouard in front of the door On papers, I was his 'servant', but I didn't care to changeabout it either Which was the last straw that pushed Salia over the edge She snapped at ? Show so you still inside that coat even indoor”

I wholeheartedly agreed But it wasn't like I earing this because I liked it If Tiz found out about hter and then promptly proceed to enslave me as his toy

Normally if that happened, I'd just have to evaporate all the train's passengers, but Tiz here had nearly 800 cohts had around 200 power too, so fighting them head-on would be quite messy I supposed the crux would lie in how fast I could deal with Salia first…

I looked at her in ht

”W-What's that look for?! I only spoke the tru-”

”Stop it, Salia You too, Shedy If it actually co to stop you two, but you should know she's a ht Despite what you may think, she's quite capable” Tiz interrupted in an attempt to ical than martial? I supposed her weapon did have soht prove to be a lot ht

I showed no signs of wanting to make a, looking like he just thought of a new gaic too, Shedy And judging froht? I didn't think a little girl traveling alone would be weak Perhaps there's a secret hidden in that coat?”

He threw a sharp gaze at the part of an my prepared excuse I pointed to his arms

”Hmm? What do you ht Even this h to hurt ht Unlike before, it was only a trivial probleical too? – was about the sahtness as modern Earth's

”I see”

After a fewthe bell near his hand

”Gramps, make sure there's a hooded coat when you prepare her clothes A blood-red one would be good”

Was he -shot noble, right? Would this be within hisout with the preparations for toe, which was one of the responsibilities of his servants Even if I was just one on paper

”Shedy, can you hide weapons?”

”Weapons?”

”Yeah The official rules said you're not alloeapons in However, there'll be incognito nobles from other countries like me at the auction, plus people from the underworld too And you can ban weapons, but you can't ban ic There'll be quite a few attendees secretly ar By the hich country's noble are you?”

”Hah, curious? I'll tell you if you becoht you're quite young to be the… as it… the current head, right?”

”Mmm, well… I supposed And I' anye for a faer”

”Is that so? …right, I see So there's this thing I heard, that apparently high e slower This probably happens less often in corow up quickly, so ht you suddenly looked older”

”U the sidearh, he seeers with set whatever Pack these, Shedy”

…I was running out of bandit daggers, so maybe it was about time for a resupply Well, with my Rank-up, it's not like I needed weapons anyh-Rank)] ・The de mist that dances upon the northern seas A canny spiritual lifeforic Points: 1100/1100] [Total Combat Power: 1210/1210] [Unique Skill: <reroll> <cyber-manipulation> ] [Racial Skill: Fear] [Simple Identification] [Humanoid Fored a bit I hadn't had a single fight after entering the town, after all

And even after booking rooht house arrest The only exceptions henever Tiz got bored and called for roup rented out the whole top and near-top floors, while I was given a room in the floor below those two My room wasn't as opulent as theirs, but it was still pretty e's roo knight to, as they said, 'watch over' me On Salia's or the butler's orders, perhaps Their trust did not come with Tiz's approval, it seemed

Sure, I could disperse into ht doing what could be done at the ht, which would just cause a cohter than it already was

”…and there”

Sharp, around three-centiht be due tofrom my body This discovery came as a result of s I tried was to see if the arms I created while dispersed could have sharp tips or not

I believed these claws caht in hu-up

I said 'house arrest', but I had s like power experi with Blobsy, so I didn't mind However, whenever I came out for food or because Tiz was bored, Salia was always there to glare at

…was she jealous?

The next day, the day of the auction Tiz's group was going to leave in the uards until we get inside, where he would be allowed only three other accouard Salia, the butler, and finally, reement aboutfro

The auction was held in a public hall It looked sort of like a concert hall I could see the royal castle froet yourself lost, Shedy”
