748 746 Hostage Liberation? (2/2)

Yes. It was Nilfe, who was supposed to be held hostage, who was being held by Crikka. There doesn't seem to be any trauma.

But why are you here? No, considering that Sibula betrayed Acidman, you mean she's been helping out?

But why? Even though they belong to each other in the same Reids kingdom......

Sibula helped Caitley up while I and my surroundings were in turmoil. Now we have both hostages in the hands of the Sibulas...

I didn't feel malicious or harmful from Sibula doing the pampering and sweeping of Caitley's body stains.

Hilt has a tough eye and stares at Cricca, who is securing Nilfe.

”Are you guys... you're not one of those masked men?

”If you ask me if I'm one of you, I'm not one of you. Well, I'm from the same country.”

”Do you mean the Reids, too?

”Oh. It's Sibula, head of the Knights of the Red Sword, a wide-area guardian unit of the Kingdom of Reids.”

Sibula revealed herself lightly.

Though I thought it wasn't just a knight. You were the Knights Commander! Plus, it's a pretty tough title, like the Wide Area Guardian Unit.

Hilt's surprised, too.

”Kiki, Commander of the Knights? How could you be in a place like this?

”Ha. There's a lot going on over here.”

I guess you finally understood that the Sibulas were enemies. It was found that the adventurers and soldiers around them would sit in unison.

Now that two girls are still being taken hostage, there will be no attack, but if there is a gap, everyone here will be attacked by the Sibulas.

If you think the blackmailers have fallen, here comes the new Laidos. Demitris also stops his legs and watches what happens.

In that, there were even more characters.

”Ursi, here we go.”

Fran, who reached the entrance to and exit from the audience, looks down at the stage under her eyes and squeals.

”Miss Nilfe!

”On!”

They were the two of us who went looking for Nilfe, but they finally caught up with him by mistake on the road.

”You ladies, let the ladies go!

”On!”

No, it's a lifeline for the Sibulas, isn't it? That's what they told me to let you go...

”Oh, fine. Look, go.”

”Huh?”

Caitley, pushed back by Sibula, looked up at her face bewildered.

”Crikka, give him back your lady too”

”Yes.”

Unlike Caitley, who was stopping her legs as bewildered, Nilfe ran toward Hilt at first sight. And we get under her without a problem.

”Hilt, hey!

”Nilfe!”

Seeing that, Caitley remained perplexed. I guess it's because I don't know what Sibula's actions mean.

”Why, is it? Why help me...?

”You owe me.”
