CHAPTER 65 – THE LURKING SHADOWS

「Myu〜」

Chibi Dragon cried, and looked outside of the carriage.

Thinking “Again?”, I looked outside. And then, this time, bandits who were riding horses came, and surrounded the carriage I’m in.

One, two, three……there are six of them in total.

Numbers that can’t be called as a threat.

To that, Aura was frightened, Melissa’s face got stiff.

「Leave it to me」

I said only that, and went out of the carriage.

I looked at the bandits who were riding horses.

「What the hell are you」

「Hehehe……」

One of the men extends out the blade of the spear he was holding to the curtain of the carriage without answering.

He was probably trying to see what’s inside.

I drew Eleanor, and cut that away.

「What the hell are you」

I asked the same thing.

「n〜? What is it again, you know」

「Ah〜, it’s that right, it’s that」

「Yeah, yeah, that’s right. 『Take out your money and leave the women behind』」

The men grin, and said words that were quite common.

They were only lines, it’s not the truth, only words that are said.

「Are you also aiming for Aura’s life」

「If that’s so, what would you do」

The man asked back while grinning.

「For what」

It’s annoying, but I held back and continued asking.

「Hehhe……I can’t tell you that」

「It’s just, there are plenty of people that would be troubled if that princess is still alive」

「A person of high status, you know」

「Oi, idiot, you’re saying too much」

「Don’t care. After all, we’re going to kill them all」

「Well, that’s true」

「I know right」

The men laughed out at the same time.

They continuously laughed together with a sick face that almost made me wonder what was interesting.

More than this, nothing could be done if I asked them right now.

I placed my hand on Eleanor and Hikari.

『Leave one』

「Un?」

『If the situation changes, they might speak fluently right』

「I guess so」

「O, are you going to try?」

The men readied their weapons with a grinning face.

「I’ll tell you this, we areーー」

I raised a dark aura, swung the Demon Sword, cutting off the head of the nearest man.
