The World of Otoh for Mobs v3 Chapter 5 Part 2

The days passed by within the dungeon

“It see lately”

I've recently been feeling slight tremors

“All things considered, I see visitors on a daily basis”

[That just proves how excellent you are as bait, Master]

“That doesn't please me”

nobles trying to deceivehere

They've relentlessly been trying to get me to either tell theanz

Soantly threaten ood side through whatever otiate with me

It's not just the marquis' faction

Many kinds of people have been visiting, wanting to make use of me

A such people, the ones I've lost my patience with are──those from Marquis Frampton's faction

As I was laying down on the hard bed in the dungeon, Luxon spoke to me

[It seedom has failed to live up to your expectations, Master]

──It seems that Anjie's papa and Milaine couldn't do much

Within the dungeon, I heard the noisy footsteps of a crowd approaching, perhaps armed

“It seems this is the end”

[You're exaggerating, Master]

My accomplice's remark was painfully true

The person who's supposed stand watch ay since so in to take their place

As the ar that interval, their leader, sonized, stood at the forefront

He was a viscount in his thirties who belonged to Marquis Frampton's faction

In his hand was a bottle of alcohol

“Viscount Baltfault, I thought you'd be lonely, so I brought a gift”

The alcohol the viscount carried──was probably poisoned

“I don't drink alcohol Take it home and share it with everyone”

The Viscount s me

“How long do you plan on living in such an unsightly race”

Grace, he says I'd like to live e, so no thanks

Besides, it would be rather unfortunate if it that were to happen

Right when I was thinking about escaping frodom, I heard some frantic footsteps

Luxon appeared, surprising the viscounts as they readied their handguns and rifles

“Is that the fa, the airshi+p is ours!”

[Even if Master dies, I will not follow your orders More importantly, shouldn't you pay attention to what's behind you?]

Chris ju a wooden sword

He then knocked down the knights that were behind the viscount

“Baltfault, are you alright?!”

Why is Chris here? As I was pondering about it, Jilk entered the jail and shot down the handgun that the viscount held

“I won't let you do that to Viscount Baltfault”

As the viscount clutched his hand, causing hilared at Jilk and the others

“D, do you all knohat you are doing? I suspected there was so you do can──”

[Silence]

Luxon sla him to faint

When Jilk opened the door with a key, he tried to quickly rush me outside

“Now then, hurry up”

──Why did these people come here to help me? When I looked at Luxon, it moved its eye up and down, as if to nod

Does that mean it's okay for me to escape?

“Why are you guys here?”

“We tried a lot options, but they all failed In the end, so force in order to help you”

“You guys really are idiots, aren't you?”

Chris spoke to me

“We were able to make in time because of that So isn't it fine?”

I ran up the stairs of the dungeon, pushed from behind by Jilk and Chris

Brad and Greg aiting by the exit

The tere looking below at a tied-up warden

“You guys are here too? What happened to that guy?”

I was thinking that they had caused harm to my warden friend, but it seems that wasn't the case

“He was already restrained e arrived”

“Neverfor us”

While checking the safety of the warden, I joined the four and stealthily headed towards the royal palace's grounds

During that tiround

I arrived at a courtyard after being led by the four

Julian appeared from the shadows of the trees in the courtyard

“I've been waiting”

“Hey, why did you take ?”

While pondering about how strange it was, Julian explained while see to be a little proud

“There's a secret passage here that only the royal family knows about”

“Don't reveal that kind of secret to me! Are you an idiot? You really are an idiot, aren't you?”

“What a re that we helped you ──Whoa, there see”

When ere arguing around trembled once more

As the six of us were gathering at the courtyard, which happened to be surrounded by buildings, while talking to each other, Luxon spoke

[Master, we're surrounded]

“What?”

The courtyard was instantly hit by a light, and while I was covering my eyes fro knights

I was about to give an order to Luxon when one of them spoke

“Please wait, your Highness Julian! We are not your enemies!”

Julian stepped in front of ht

“If that's the case, how about letting us through?”

The saht told us that he couldn't do that

“We came to reclaim Viscount Baltfault”

“Me?”

I wonder if I can take his words at face value

It's possible that he's lying

Luxon said “It would take a few ht about buying so

While I was pondering about it, a figure appeared before me

“──Father”

Julian lowered the sword he held

“Julian, don't make a poor decision Everyone, lower your arms and come here”

It was His Majesty the King──”Roland Rafua Holfault”

He had soray, somewhat quirky hair and a moustache

He was tall and had a well-trained, slender body

He held the dignity of a king

Realizing it was him, ent down on our knees

“Viscount Baltfault, you've had a rough time However, thanks to you, we've come to a decision”

Does that mean Anjie's papa won?

“Father, Baltfault's about to be killed!”

When Julian voiced his co nodded his head and responded

“I know the whole situation This is not the time for leisure talk”

When the ground tre looked doards and seemed worried

After a change of clothes, I was led to a conference room

The kingdoures sat there, but──there weren't many of them

The king and the queen, Milaine, were there

Vince was there as well Indeed, it see here

“You seeood health, Viscount”

“Yeah, somehow”

I wanted to voice a word of co ant stance

Looking around, Julian and the others weren't here

The king answered as if he kneho I was searching around for
