Chapter 49 - The Woman who was called the Princess Knight (2/2)

[Eh!? That former leader is now here in Mills!? Really!?]

[Didn’t Bakuos Empire offer a lot of bounty for her capture?]

That slender macho deliberately took the attention of others.

I just watched over the situation.

She’s probably that woman that I had met in the forest.

I knew of that from her voice.

But, there’s no reason for me to help her.

I have no debts to settle with her nor does she have one towards me. I am no longer associated with that woman after that instance in the forest.

Besides, I don’t want to stand out now.

Even if that’s not so, I’m still not going to lend a hand for her.

Why is it?

That woman still had the composure after being discovered by others.

It’s not like she’s in any trouble.

It’s as if she’s her whole being is full of composure.

It may be that she still has a way out of here.

If I just intervene unnecessarily, I may even accidentally get in her way.

Well—

[…………]

I think it’s possible for to paralyze everyone in here anyway.

The slender macho rushed towards the woman.

[Actually, I’ve never met that leader of the Holy Knights in Neia. I heard though that she was a very beautiful person. It’s just that… I had invited you for to eat out with me, but I was coldly refused!]

[I don’t even remember seeing you.]

[Guh~!]

The slender macho looks like he took quite the damage there. He had a really displeased expression on his face.

[I see— Is that so, I understand. I still remember it though. Even at that time, you’re still acting like that. You have that higher-than-thou attitude of yours and didn’t even have the slightest interest towards others, huh?]

[………..]

[That’s also the reason why! The reason why I remember your face well in my memory! Even that already ripe part of yours, that pathetic excuse of a pair of breasts! I remember it all! It’s useless to deny it, you know!? You’re that fallen Princess Knight who had turned into a pathetic fugitive!]

[Excuse me, but did you get the wrong person?]

The slender macho grinned.

[If that’s so, can you show us your ears?]

The slender macho proudly pointed at the woman’s hood.

[……….]

[The Elven Race have sharp ears that are different from humans! Well, your ears can’t be seen from that loose hood your wearing! Yes! It’s obvious that you’re trying to hide something! It’s clearer than white!]

Certainly, her hood is quite loose.

It’d be no wonder if you’re hiding your long ears there.

[Everyone here knows there are rarely any Elves that were wandering around here! No! There haven’t been any sightings of them in the Urza Kingdom at all! But– However– What if–! What if it’s the fugitive of her own country that has been talked about recently! That fugitive is a High Elf! Fuhahaha! You’re a fool in thinking that you could deceive me! Those sharp ears of yours is the very evidence that you are Seras Ashrain!]

The slender macho’s hand is about to reach out towards the woman’s hood.

[You’re quite naive in thinking you could deceive me! Naive naive naive! Naiiiivveeeee—!]

Gabaaahh!

Her hood has been removed.

The woman’s concealed head is exposed.

[See that~!? The identity of the Princess Knight was revealed by this me— The “Flash”, Monk Dorogetti! Look at this, everyone! These sharp ears~! And also, her exceptional beauty! If you can see her face even once, her face would be burned into your memory that I doubt you could—]

The slender macho’s face hardens.

[—ever forget it… Eh? Eh!? What the!?]

The woman’s ears were clearly human’s.

They’re not sharp at all.

[……….]

Well, it’s as I thought.

She’s that woman that I had asked things about in the forest.

She revealed her face when most of my questions were answered.

That is indeed the woman that I had met in the forest.

Did that woman also come to Mills because of this recruitment?

The slender macho’s face turned pale.

[Im- Impossible!? Moreover—]

The slender macho stared hard at the woman’s face.

[It’s d- different!? Her face is different!]

The woman sighed.

[Like I said, I’m asking you if you got the wrong person. My name isn’t Seras Ashrain. My name is Mist Barkas.]

The woman indifferently said with her clear voice.

[Have you had enough now?]
