Episode 47.12 (2/2)
A dignified elderly man pointed at a very slim blond young man. He's got an elegant visage. You'd think he's a woman at a glance. He's wearing some luxurious looking nightclothes.
”Are you the townlord?”
The young man nodded.
”Should I slaughter all the hostiles out there?”
The young man looked up at the elderly man.
”Gramps?”
Even his voice sounded like a woman's.
”You must not Earl-sama. They are still knights and soldiers under this household.”
”I understand. I would like to hear your name, escort.”
”Lecan.”
”Lecan. They are vassals of our household. Could you capture them with minimal injury if possible?”
”Ok then, I'll paralyze them with magic.”
”Do just that. Lecan.”
”Hm?”
”Was the one who kept shouting 'revolt' over and over earlier a friend of yours?”
That's probably Chubby.
”Yeah, must be.”
”You have my gratitude, Lecan. Thanks to them, our house aide managed to bring and protect me in this room. We would have been taken completely off guard if not for that voice.”
”Yeah?”
The barrier kept getting worn down as they speak. It won't last much longer.
Lecan left the room and rapidly cast held-back <Lightning>. He undid <Barrier> and blew away the clumped up soldiers in stairway with <Gust>. Meanwhile, ally knights and soldiers rushed in and captured the rebelling hostiles.
The elderly man spoke.
”You there, Lecan, was it. I would like to hear your side of story.”
”Hang on. <Recovery><Recovery><Recovery><Recovery><Recovery><Recovery>.”
”Ooh!”
”Aah!”
Lecan walked up to the window while casting <Recovery> on the injured.
He looked down and saw Nirfut below. The man is sprawling on the ground.
”Nirfut! Do not move a muscle! You might fall otherwise!”
”Uh what?”
”<Float><Move>.”
Nirfut's body floated up. Then he kept going up until he landed in the third floor room.
Next to him, Chubby kept pointing at himself as if saying 'me too, me too', but Lecan pretended he didn't see him.
Lecan pushed Nirfut to the elderly man.
”This man will explain.”
”Lecan-sama.”
Nirfut looked back at Lecan with begrudging eyes.
